GOMEN-NASAI! I am SO sorry guys. You will probably have to go back to the last chapter to even remember what is going on! xD I am soooo sorry. Everything has been so hectic and all, busy busy busy! So to make up for it, I will finish off pt. 2 of 'Birthday Bash' all in this update. And I am really trying everyone. Don't hurt me! dodges random items thrown at her My microsoft word also is stupid. I can't save anything on it and close it because it won't let me open it again. --;; My computer is SO stupid...
Oh, and since it has just been so long, I'm not going to do any special thanks anymore or replying to my reviewers… Just I kind of lost track of them… eh heh. But thanks to everyone who is sticking with me and reviewing! Big thanks!
And now, without any further ado- On with Birthday Bash!
Last time-"I get it, Azmaria. Don't worry." Satella comforted the young girl who was on the verge of tears. "Now, you go find Rosette and Chrono and I will get going, okay?"
"Okay, be careful!" Azmaria waved and ran off in search of the 'deprived' nun.
Azmaria found Rosette moping around by the usual fountain that she and Chrono usually sat. She looked bored and drained of energy; sad that no one had remembered her birthday. When she saw Azmaria running toward her, she quickly snapped out of that state.
"Rosette! There you are! I have been looking for you for a while now!" Azmaria said out of breath.
"Oh, sorry Azmaria. What is it? Does Sister Kate have another mission for us?"
"No, not today. But I was wondering if you wanted to go to the salon to get our nails and hair done. You know, as a gift for making the militia."
"Really? Wow! What about Sister Kate though? Did she say it was okay?" Rosette asked in wonderment.
"Yes! I already have everything approved through here, and we can walk there too to get fresh air! It's a beautiful day, please!" the young Apostle girl pleaded.
"Okay! Let's go then!"
Azmaria smiled brightly and thought, 'Yes! Phase one, accomplished…'
With Chrono and Satella
Chrono and Satella drove to town in silence. Chrono fidgeted nervously in the back while Satella drove.
"So Chrono, what do you want to get first? Your clothes, or Rosette's?" Satella said, finally breaking the silence.
"Well, let's get the easy one done first. Let's get mine." Chrono said nervously, still forgetting.
"Okay… this will be easy. I know a nice little place that will do great for you. After all, you are such a cute thing!" she winked at him.
Chrono felt a ping of nausea sweep over him for a second.
After about another ten or so minutes of driving, the two finally arrived at the place 'for Cute Chrono'. It was a small, run down looking place. Worn from years of serving people. Chrono looked at it and thought that they must have been at the wrong place, because Satella wasn't one that would shop at someplace like this.
But after they walked in, he saw. The place was highly furnished and quite lovely. There were short guys wondering around with tape measures around their necks and wearing black suits. He must have been gawking, because Satella called out his name and motioned for him to follow her.
She walked up to the shortest guy (about up to her waist or so) and spoke to him.
"Fred! How are you doing? So wonderful to see you again!"
"Oh goodness, is that you Satella?" The man asked, fixing some bifocals on his nose. "I haven't seen you in ages! What brings you here?"
"Oh just some business with a friend. Say, do you think you can make him a suit for me?" She motioned over to Chrono. "He needs one for a special someone tonight."
The man walked over to Chrono and studied him. Chrono felt nervous under the guy's eyes examining him.
All of a sudden, Fred exclaimed, "Yes! I shall make him my finest. Come with me boy. We have to fit you."
Fred started to walk away, and Chrono looked over to Satella. She nodded and he started to follow the man. Satella came too.
As the man put the tape measure in places that made Chrono blush, stuck with pins, and after Satella nearly fell on the floor laughing; Chrono's suit was done after a few hours. And it made him look sharp! Satella, Fred, and Chorno were all pleased.
Chrono was going to pay the man when Satella put a hand on his shoulder.
"I will get this, Chrono. It is my gift for Rosette." She smiled and paid Fred (with the remarkable discount.)
"Satella, I will pay you back. I can't let you-" Chrono was cut off with her hand over his mouth.
"Don't worry about it. It's the least I can do for you two."
Chrono nodded and they were on their way to get Rosette's dress.
With Azmaria and Rosette
After walking into town (that took nearly a half hour!) the two arrived at a little salon. They walked in and went over to the counter.
"Um, Hello. We are here to get our hair and nails done. Do you have any openings?" Azmaria asked shyly.
The woman looked down to her and smiled sweetly. "Of course we do. Come right this way."
She motioned for the two girls to follow her and sit down in the chairs. Then two more girls came out from the back with scissors and a brush.
After a while of thinking and styling, Azmaria just got a trip on her ends and a small curl. When she looked over to Rosette's chair, she gasped. Rosette was absolutely beautiful! She had her hair up and was trimmed of split ends, with her bangs cute-like and curled pieces of hair hanging down. It looked lovely!
Azmaria smiled at Rosette who looked into the mirror and too smiled. She hadn't had her hair done like this since she was at the orphanage and the girls would play with her hair when she just got done bathing.
Then they got their nails done. Azmaria went with a more ruby color on hers and Rosette got a light blue on hers. They trimmed and filed them to make them look lovely. The girls were set.
Azmaria paid and Rosette looked somewhat guilty.
"Azmaria, this has been wonderful. Do you want to go out for some ice cream? My treat!" Rosette smiled.
"Are you sure?" Azmaria asked.
"Sure as… well- Anything! Let's go!"
The girls hurried over to the small ice cream shop across the street and enjoyed ice cream while catching up on old times.
Chrono and Satella
"Let's see- One thing down, one to go. Where should we get Rosette's dress, Satella?" Chrono wondered while sitting in the back seat holding his suit and shoes.
"Well, it is going to be hard to find a dress for Rosette and she isn't here. But I have a private dresser. I have already called him and he is already at the order with everything. We need a uniform to take Rosette's form by, so I just told him to meet us there." Satella said.
"But- what if Rosette is there?" Chrono asked nervously.
"She won't be. Azmaria is keeping her occupied until 6. It is only about one now."
"Oh, Okay."
Satella pulled up to the gates of the Order and got out of the car. Her and Chrono walked over to the dorm housing area and to Rosette's room.
There was a man standing outside the door already. French, by the looks of it. He tapped his foot impatiently and when he saw them coming he shouted, "There you are Statella! I have missed you! Come, come! We have MUCH to do." His French accent was thick.
"Pierre! I have missed you too. Yes, let's hurry. We have to get this dress made."
The three walked into the room and sat down. Chrono was on a chair by the bed, Satella on the rocking chair, and Pierre went to the bed and sat his stuff down. He opened one of the suitcases he had, and pulled out fabric. The mission had begun.
Two hours later
"Voula! It is, finished!" Pierre held up the dress. It was baby blue color- almost like the sky on a summer day, formal style. It would touch the ground on Rosette and it was spaghetti strapped. It was made of silk, and had little designs on it and was just beautiful. Chrono gaped at it while Satella clapped her hands.
"It's perfect, Pierre! Thank you so much!" She kissed the side of his cheek.
"Yes, Yes, Satella. Anytime for you. This is on the house from me. As a, what do you American's call it, 'Hello Gift' or whatnot. I must be going now. Many things to do. A revior!" Pierre packed up his stuff and was about to leave when-"Oh, and here are the heels to match." He through them onto the bed by the dress and walked out the door.
Chrono blinked. "Wow, amazing. And with time to spare. What now?"
Satella looked at a clock. It was only about 3:30. "Time to look for a restaurant I guess…"
The two left, leaving the dress and shoes on the bed.
A/N- Okay. I know I said I would finish this… But what can I say! This is long! And I have a 7:30 soccer game tomorrow morning. XX Insanity! And I am sick, so I have to get to bed early tonight. I will finish this soon, so just Review for me please! It will make me very happy, and I will attempt to update sooner. I will try! Until next time, Ja!
