One of Kind
Rinoa P.O.V (duh) heehehehe
We visited about 10 deferent dress shops and in each one Ellone and Jenny would be unimpressed. They would say something like, " No its just not…special enough!" or " No I'm sure everyone else would have one like that!" So our shopping day eventually, sadly, strangely turned to night. We were at a spirits end when Ellone came across a small dress shop in the mall next Jenny's favorite.
The lady in the store was particularly nice and showed us pictures of over 50 dresses and the dresses that had been bought already. But when we almost left, she told us to come around the back.
" I do have one dress I was keeping for next winter's big speech night but…I suppose you can have a look to see if you're interested…"
This got Jenny and Ellone extremely excited and we followed her out back. She brang out the dress and I think I had already made up my mind.
It was a black, body hugging ball dress with a white, satin, flowing skirt. Gorgeous!
When I walked out of the change room, dressed in my selected dress, all three girls squealed happily, jumping up and down on the spot.
" Its perfect!"
" Finally!"
" A match!"
They each told me a few comments on how gorgeous I looked and then we bought it. Not surprisingly! Our shopping day…or night came to an end and we drove all the way back to the presidential palace with my new dress.
It wasn't late but I was tired and went to bed. I didn't wake up until five in the morning. Ellone had gone out to help the president with something and Jenny and Dave had gone home. I found Squall in the garden. He was trying to water the roses, miserably failing and ended up watering himself.
" Didn't you have a shower this morning?" I asked.
" Yeah I did, but hey, the roses don't have to get all the fun do they?"
" Well maybe you could let me give you a hand"
" Sure thing" He handed the hose over to me and stepped back. I professionally watered them and handed it back to him, by that time he had fallen asleep at the base of some daises.
"Ahem…"
He jolted awake and looked up skeptically.
" Did you really water them…or did you just pay some poor beggar to do it?"
" What…?"
He shook his head mumbling, 'don't worry' and stood up. I handed him the hose and followed him back inside. While I waited for him to come back down to the kitchen after getting dried, I looked around a bit.
I picked up a few photo albums, one of which that showed Dave, Jenny and Squall as little six year olds playing in a sand pit. I giggled to myself and continued looking. The rest of the photos were old boring ones that showed the presidential palace when it was first built.
Squall came back down and caught me off guard.
" You know Laguna can give you a three hour speech on how the builders didn't listen to his father properly when they designed this place"
I whirled around and smirked at him.
" Oh really?"
"Uh huh…"
We paused for a while but interrupted when we heard someone yelling at the top of their lungs.
" Squally!!!!"
Squall went pale and turned around.
" Squally! I haven't seen you in the looooongest time!"
It was a very tall lady with golden blonde hair tied up in a tight bun.
" Hi Quisty…"
She ran over and gave Squall a hug then walked over to me and shook my hand.
" Hi Rinoa! I'm Quistis, you know the maid! If you need help with aaaaaanything at all just ask ok?"
I felt I could trust her so I nodded and smiled as sweetly as I could. She seemed satisfied and walked up the stairs talking to herself.
I heard Squall say "Phew" and walked back outside.
" You'll love her even though she can smother you at times" he told me.
" I'm sure I'll get used to it"
" So…did you get a dress? The ball is in a week you know"
"Yeah, I got one…one of a kind"
He nodded and then walked back in again.
" I have to go do lesson's I'll see you later"
" Yeah ok…seeya"
A/N: Ok…easily the most boring chapter so far. You don't have to leave a review if you don't want to. Trust me, the next chapter will be good, it's the ball next!! Woo-Hoo!
