Chapter 37: Wedding Planners... Such A Bore.
Kimiko's P.O.V.
It was already 1:31; Xian and Jill had been asking about the Wedding all day. "Okay, the color theme is... Blue! Matches with my eyes..." Jill said while pacing around, I thought both of them would drill a hole in the ground of they kept doing that. "When will we go shopping for dresses?" I asked. "Once we have the plans ready. Okay... How many people are we inviting?" Xian mumbled. "Let's see. My mom, dad, Master Fung, Jill, you, Raimundo, Clay, Omi, Dojo, and me." I counted on my fingers. "You want a small wedding? That's good... They don't cost that much." Xian was writing stuff down on note pad, and Jill was always mumbling. "So do we have it all straight?" I asked. "Yes, and I'll get the wedding cake, I know this really cool place in Beijing that sells them." faltered Jill.
"Where are you guys going?" asked Raimundo. "Beijing, you can decide what you want to wear for the wedding, a dress shirt or something... " I whispered, I knew he was going to wear his monks robes, like almost everyone at the wedding would wear. "Okay, be back soon Kim." he kissed me sweetly and I waved bye to him. Dojo super sized himself and said "I deserve an extra big slice at the wedding for this. "Okay Dojo, I'll get you a big piece." I replied and pet his head.
"Okay, first we get the dresses... That's it, the wedding cake waits. We already reserved a church in like 2 weeks. Everyone knows about the wedding... We are all good." Jill said. "That is such a relief!" I sighed and looked around the stores. "So Xian, know any wedding dress stores?" I asked. "Yes, there's one that had beautiful dresses, and it's right there!" She pointed to a building, and in the display was a snowy white gown, this was going to be hard to chose from.
"How may I help you?" asked the lady behind the counter. "Well, it's my wedding and I'm looking for a dress..." I said. "Oh marvelous! You are getting married! I have the perfect dress!" She lead me over to a stunning dress, but it looked to expensive. "How much does this cost?" I asked. "299 dollars. It's not the most expensive here, but it's pretty." she touched the silky fabric with her hands.
"It's perfect! Get it Kimiko!" exclaimed Jill. "I'll take it!" I responded. "Excellent!" she went over to her cash register and typed stuff into the computer. "Credit card or cash?" she asked. "Credit card." I retorted. I handed her my card and Xian and Jill jumped for joy and squealed like girls. "Calm down okay? It's just getting married to... Raimundo." I whispered. "Just getting married? It's a bigger deal then that! I can't wait till we go shopping for the bride's maid gowns!" Then a thought went into my mind... "Aren't I supposed to have a flower girl too?" I asked. Xian and Jill stopped jumping. "Oops." said Xian. "Don't worry, I have back up." I pulled out my cell phone and dialed Keiko's number. (On Phone) Keiko: Hello? Kimiko: Hi! I'm getting married, I was wondering if you wanted to be the flower girl! Keiko: YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED! Who's the lucky man? Kimiko: Raimundo... Keiko: Okay well, I have to go, and call me later to tell me when and where, BYE! Kimiko: BYE!
"Blue brides maid dresses! This shade of blue is lovely!" Jill was going crazy again. "I like this one, it had a matching pair of high heels!" Xian said. "Okay, get what you want, it's your dresses, but it as to be blue..." I muttered. "THANKS!" they both shouted. "This is going to be a very long day." I said to Dojo. "Yes, and I need food." "But you just ate!" "I'm a dragon Kimiko." I sighed and looked around for any sign of the girls... They wandered off again.
Raimundo's P.O.V.
I waited for Kimiko and the girls, how long could they take to look for three dresses? I was going to wear my regular monk outfit? Oh well... Clay and Omi are doing that. I went over to the garden and sat down. "Hello Raimundo, yesterday Kimiko seemed happy." Peaches flew over to me and sat down on my finger. "She was very happy because I proposed to her." I said. "You did? You are getting married? Oh I wish to come and see!" She was fluttering around and singing. "They are out now buying dresses, I don't know how long girls can do that."
"We girls don't understand how you work out so much then!" she sang. "Fine, we're even." I groaned and lay down on the ground. "Time passes so slow around here." I said. "Raimundo, time flies, like you do. I wish to see you fly again." she soared into the air. "Okay." I summoned my chi and went into the air with the bird. "Happy now?" I asked. "Not quite!" the bird did a barrel roll and dived into in the ground and before hitting it, she swooped up. "Simple." I copied her and put my hands in my hips, "I'm more experienced than that!"
Kimiko's P.O.V.
They got their pretty dresses, and we went back to the Temple, I saw Raimundo flying. "Rai!" I shouted from Dojo. He looked up and flew next to me. "I wondered when all of you would be back, you were there for hours!" he said and followed Dojo down. "Time really does fly Raimundo." I replied and hid my bag with my wedding dress in it. "Why does everyone say that?" he asked and flew back to the garden.
"So, we got all our dresses, now let's try them on!" Jill whispered so that none of the boys would hear her. "Sure." I piped and went into my bathroom to change. It fit on me perfectly, and I went outside to see what they all thought. "I LOVE it!" Xian shouted. "ME TOO!" agreed Jill. "Thanks, try yours on Jill. She went into the bathroom and came out looking gorgeous. "That's looks great on you! I can't wait till the wedding!" Xian said and went into the bathroom. "I can't wait either." I remarked. Xian came out looking fabulous. "Love it!" Jill and I said at the same time. Now the plans are complete...
