Annie squirmed excitedly in the fancy chair, she beat her arms on the armrests as she yelled, "come on Mary come out we wanna see!!!"
Tristan, who was seated next to her started to impatiently stomp her feet. "Come out! Come out!" she chanted laughing.
Mary walked out of the dressing room in a floor length lavender dress. It was a halter with lots of complicated straps. But she looked gorgeous.
Annie shrieked, "oooh! Turn around, lemme see!"
Mary held her arms out and spun, Tristan and Annie giggles excitedly from their seats.
Mary laughed, she had never been much of a girly-girl, but she was enjoying this. It was the 4th dress they had tried on, but everyone decided without saying anything that this was going to be the one.
Sarah came out next and everyone oohed and ahhed. It looked great on her, and Tristan was getting more and more excited every second.
"Ok ok, Lucy your turn!" she called out. There was no response from the dressing room. "Luce?" She asked sitting forward.
"I'm not coming out," Lucy said
"Why not?" Annie asked getting a little aggravated. She wouldn't come out for the last two either. " Lucy come out right now! This is not your wedding so no one really cares how you look!"
"That's not true!" Tristan added in, "I want you to look great, and I bet you do, so show me"
"I'm not coming out!" she snapped.
Before Annie got up, Mary stopped her. "I'll go talk to her" she said
Mary knocked on the little door, "Lucy let me in" she didn't respond, "Luce don't make me climb under this thing, I don't wanna get this dress dirty but . . ."
She opened the door a crack and Mary slipped inside. "Ok so what's wrong with this one?"
"I look like a fat cow" she whined
"Oh my gosh Lucy, no you don't!" Lucy was two months pregnant, and as crazy as ever. "You aren't even showing yet! What are you complaining about?"
"Yeah but what if I am at the wedding?" she protested
Mary took her by the shoulders, "Lucy the wedding is in 10 days, I doubt things will have changed." She raised an eyebrow, "now go out there and show everyone how great you look."
Lucy shuffled out of the dressing room with her arms folded. Tristan beamed, "oh Lucy! You look so great!"
She smiled and put her arms down at her side. "You think?"
"Yes! You look fine!" an agitated voice said from the dressing room, "now is it my turn?" it asked.
"Yes Ruthie come on out!" Annie laughed.
*~*~*~*
Later all of the girls stood around in their purple dresses waiting for Tristan to come out. Everyone had been in GlenOak for about three days. Simon and Tristan, Mary, Wilson, and the kids were at the Camden house. Sarah and matt were staying with her parents. Lucy and Kevin were of course at their house. Today the girls had left all the boys at home to take care of the kids.
When Tristan stepped into the room with her dress on they all gasped. Annie smiled, and Lucy bounced up and down excitedly biting her bottom lip. She stepped onto the little platform in front of the three mirrors. The lady from the dress shop fluffed out her train so that the whole dress was on display. Tristan stood quiet a minute trying to take the whole thing when she finally spoke up, "Do you like it?" she said turning around to face her new family. Her parents and little brother were coming in a few days and the rest of her relatives later. She had enjoyed her time with the Camdens; she didn't think they were all as nuts as Simon had said. It felt to her as if they had taken her in so warmly, and she was glad to be becoming one of them.
All of the girls smiled as they looked over her long white dress that fit her perfectly. All at once they started talking and crowding around her.
That afternoon a huge pack of girls scurried out of the dress shop into the gorgeous July afternoon. They were all laughing happily looking forward to the wonderful week ahead of them.
If they only knew how wrong they were . . .
