The Monoche was the best place to have a wedding reception, or so it was said. I had been there once before when I was very young because I was the flower girl for my aunt and uncle. I remember it being very big, and there was a dance floor and it had a balcony overlooking the city. I wasn't allowed on the balcony, but I looked through the door to see it.

"The Monoche? Why?"

"Well, it's a good place to have a reception. The view from the balcony is so beautiful."

"I don't think you're gonna be lookin at no view, you know? You're gonna be too busy with some other things…"

"Stop it Gates! How should you know?"

"Well! How about I just go then?"

"Ok fine. See ya later!"

Gates turned around and walked towards the door but then turned back around and ran towards me. "You want me to leave? Well I'm not leaving until…" then she grabbed me and we both fell on the floor.

"Get off me!"

"You're getting married and I'm not! I thought you told me you would never do anything without me! I hate you!"

"Gates stop! I can't help it if I'm proposed to! Get off!"

"You could have said no!"

"Shut up! I wouldn't do that! Go ahead and hate me!"

For a few more minutes we went at each other, not verbally, but physically. Mixed in were a bunch of random oddly-pitched screams which caught the attention of Chocol.

"Hey you two! Stop it!"

At this, we both stopped and stood up. Gates wasn't the tallest of people, so Chocol was right below her. "Hey, what's up?"

"Gates don't even try."

"Fine then. So, are we good?"

"Whatever."

She left, and I sat on my bed, my hair messed up, my jacket ripped, and my face with little streaks of blood from Gates' nails. Wonka walked in then, and looked at me with a shocked look.

"What happened to you? You look like you've been in a fight."

"A catfight to be exact."

"Was it that Hannah friend of yours? I knew she was a…"

"It wasn't her. It was Gates."

"Oh, well never mind then." He gazed off into something I couldn't see with a rather embarrassed expression.

"What do you think of the Monoche?" I said randomly.

"The Monoche… I remember it well really. I was about 10 years old I think. My mother took me down there to see my father. He worked there a lot, and I hardly got to see him. But one day, she took me there and I got to see the whole place. It is very beautiful."

"Well I hope you don't mind if we have our reception there."

"Mind? Why would I mind? I'm happy you chose that."

"Well then, everything is planned out. All we have to do is wait."
