Chapter 6

Buffy and the other girls walked around the mall peeping into stores looking for just the right dress for prom. All of the girls excepted Buffy had found a dress and shoes to match. Buffy just could not find one that she liked; they were to short, wrong color, or some other excuse. "Buffy, you have not found any you liked?" her sister asks.

"No, I want something great for Spike. He has been a great boyfriend and he is worth the best." Willow turns to Cordy and asks if there is another shop close by. "Yes, there is an older shop; it only carries old-fashioned style dresses." Buffy thinks what it could hurt to look.

"Will you take me there please?" Buffy asks Cordy. "Yeah sure come on lets go before it gets too late." "Great I hope you can find something there, Buffy, because the prom is only two days away." Willow speaks up from the back seat of the car.

The three girls walk inside a very old shop, looking for a sales person Buffy spots a dress she just has to have. She walks towards it; right before she touches it the sales lady enters the shop from the back. Buffy jumps back from the dress. "I did not mean to scare you. Do you like the dress?" Buffy looks at the sales person. "Yes it is a pretty dress. How much is it?"

"For you we can reduce the price. This dress is from the late 1700's. It is a noble person clothing of that time." The dress is blue with white lace around the arms and at the bottom. The collar was delicate white lace going down towards the chest and around the neck. "Here let's try it on; I know you will look beautiful." Buffy went to the dressing room and stripped her clothes off, slipping the dress over her head. Once she had it on she looked in the mirror. She looks like a noble woman that she read about in history. "Oh I like this." She says to herself, and then she sees the price. "It is $2,000.00 dollars; that is way out of my budget." She removes the dress and places it back on the hanger; leaving the room she walks to the sales person.

"Sorry this dress is too expensive, I can not buy it." Buffy places the dress on the counter. "Let me see this price looking at it, I will sale it for $200 dollars. Now you can buy it, yes?" Buffy looks at her with disbelieve how this lady sold the dress that is more then her life savings at such a low price. "I can not take this dress; you are taking too much off. I can not let you sale it and loss all the money."

The lady just smiles and says "Some time it is good to remember our past lives. We all need to try to search for our memories." Then she turns and places the dress a bag. "Here you buy the dress and have a good time in it." Buffy paid the lady and took the dress out of the store. "What was that all about?" Willow whispers to Buffy. "I don't know she freaked me out when she said that." The girls piled into the car and headed home.
