Chapter 2: The Planning Begins
"What do you think of this dress?" Maria Louise asked them as she turned in a beautiful wedding dress. It was long with long sleeves and puffy with pink, beaded flower designs on it. It was the perfect dress for her, and they all told her that.
"Do you really think it is the perfect dress for me?" she asked them.
"Of course, it's like the dress was made especially for you." Shirley said as she looked at some other wedding dresses.
Bunny decided to just sit down on the couch while the rest of them looked for wedding dresses for Nastashia, Cecil, Shirley, and
Rain. They were glad that Maria Louise was done picking out her wedding dress. They all thought she would take the longest.
"Okay, then this is the dress I will get." she turned around to look at herself in the mirror again.
"So who wants to go next?" a women that worked at the bridal shop asked them.
"Cecil did you find a dress yet?" Rain asked her.
"I was thinking about this one, what you think?" she asked Rain as she held up a gorgeous wedding dress. It was short and
sleeveless and kind of puffed out. The neck line wasn't cut low and had a light light blue bow in the center. There was also a
light light blue tie on the back that went down further then the dress itself.
"Oh yes, your going to look great in that dress." she assured her, and she was right. She came out a few moments later wearing
the dress. It looked even better on her.
"What do you girls think?" she asked them, as she looked at herself in the mirror.
"That dress looks great on you." Maria Louise told her and the other girls agreed.
"I'll get this one then." she told the women.
Two down, three to go. Nastashia, Shirley, and Rain still had to find their dresses. Then they had to find dresses for the other
girls.
"I found one." Shirley said as she walked up to Janet and Cath.
She held it up for everyone to see. It wasn't long but it was longer than Cecil's dress. It had baby blue beads around the bottom
and sleeves the went half way down the arms and folded up. The neck line was cut kind of short and had baby blue beads around
it.
"Oh that dress is gorgeous!" Cath said to Shirley. "I agree." Janet added. So Shirley walked back into the dressing rooms to try
on the dress she had picked out.
"So have you two ladies picked out your dresses yet?" the women walked up to Nastashia and Rain.
"No, we're still looking." Nastashia told her then turned to Rain.
After the women walked away Nastashia said to Rain, "I really don't like that woman." Rain agreed with her. Ever since they
walked into the bridal shop that women had bugged them. They really didn't get the feeling that she wanted them in there.
They went back to looking for their dresses and a few moments later Shirley came out wearing the dress she had picked out.
"Yep, that dress is gorgeous." Bunny said to Shirley. Shirley just stood there in front of the mirror. She didn't even look at her
reflection, she just stood there. She was looking down at the floor, with a grim look on her face.
"Shirley is something wrong?" Janet asked her friend.
"I was just thinking, what if something happens, during the wedding?" she was still looking down at the ground.
"What do you mean?" Cecil asked her.
"Well all of the Shuffle Alliance members are getting married on the same day, what if someone decides to wreck the wedding?"
she said, and then she started to cry.
"Don't cry Shirley, now Cecil is crying too." Cath said as she tried to comfort her friend.
"I thought about that too, Shirley. But I don't think anything will happen." Rain said then she smiled at Shirley. She smiled back
and said "thank you Rain."
Rain was lying of course. She had thought about something happening and she really thought something was going to happen.
She had lied to make everyone else feel at ease.
"I finally found one." Nastashia said, and then she headed back to the dressing rooms.
"You're the only one left." the women said to Rain. "Maybe we don't have what your looking for, you've tried almost every dress we
have. You'll probably be the last one to walk down the aisle too." oh that did it. Rain hulled back and flatted the women.
"Wow, Rain just beat up the women that works here." Cath laught.
"Why did you do that?" Maria Louise asked her. Everyone came running up to Rain.
"Miss are you alright?" another women that worked at the bridal shop asked Rain.
"Yes, but I don't think she is." she said pointing to the women on the floor. Rain had hit her hard enough to knock her out.
"My deepest apologies, this women is always rude to who ever comes in here. We had given her leave without pay for a month
and hoped she had learned her lesson, I guess she didn't." she then helped the women to her feet. "Sarah, your fired, now get
your stuff and get out." then the women turned back to Rain. "If you or your friends need anything, just ask me." then she
walked away.
"What happened?" Nastashia asked as she came out from the dressing room wearing a really pretty wedding dress. It was long
and strait, tight around the neck, and had long sleeves. There were also light green flower designs all over it.
"You should get that dress; now all we need to do is find Rain's dress." Cecil said as she smiled at Rain.
"Don't forget, we also need to find Cath, Janet, Bunny and Allenbe's dresses." Rain added, as she smiled back.
