Chapter 4: Dresses, Jewles, and SHoes. Oh, My!

Maka POV

All four of us, Tsubaki, Liz, Patty, and I, were at Kidd's mansion, talking about the ball.

"So, Liz. What does your dress look like?" Tsubaki asked. Liz's eyes lit up.

"Oh! Patty, go get our dresses!"

Patty leapt from the couch and sprinted away as Liz blathered on. "You two will love it! It complements my skin tone so perfectly!" Patty returned with two bag covered dresses, holding one out to Liz. She stood and took the dress.

"Prepare to be," she started

"AMAZED!" Patty finished, shouting in excitement.

They uncovered there dresses, showing two similar but very different gowns. Liz's was light pink, with of the shoulder straps that stopped at the bottom of her biceps. The dress reached the floor, barely showing of her feet. White and light pink jewels formed perfect "S's" down the skirt, and formed a belt around her ribs.

Patty's gown was hot pink, with one sleeve off her shoulder that bunched up at the top of her bicep. The skirt stopped a little above her knees, where the fabric was folded to form a bubble skirt. White and hot pink jewels formed simple lines down the skirt, and an uneven belt around her ribs.

In simple words, Liz's dress was a very pretty, formal dress. Patty was ready for a cocktail party.

I spoke first. "Oh, Liz! Patty! I love them! They fit your personalities so amazingly! And you were right Liz; the dress compliments your skin tone wonderfully!" I wasn't lying. I'm just not very good with the whole dress thing. Apparently, they didn't care.

"Oh, I know," Liz replied, "And everything is perfectly symmetrical, so Kidd won't be stalking me all night!" She looked so excited.

"Yeah," Tsubaki chimed in, "Patty I love how different you are going to look!"

Patty giggled. "Thanks Tsu! What does your dress look like?"

Tsubaki smiled and pulled out her phone. After pushing a few buttons, she handed the phone to Patty. Liz and I huddled around her to see.

The dress was beautiful. A light purple, that brought out the blur tints in her eyes. Silk, with spaghetti straps, the top hugged her body, the flat neckline giving no cleavage, which must have been hard; the skirt flowed elegantly around her legs. No jewel, no frills. Nothing, just fabric and straps. But I knew that every guy that looked at her would lose their breath.

"Wow, Tsubaki," Liz started, "You look beautiful."

Tsubaki blushed. "Thanks!"

"Yeah Tsu," Patty agreed, "You're gonna be a real heart breaker!"

Before she could deny the compliment, I added, "You look lovely, Tsu. So don't argue."

Tsubaki smiled, "Then what are you going to wear, Maka?"

I suddenly wanted to be anywhere but here. "Ummm… I don't have a dress."

If Liz was drinking something, I'm sure she would have spit all of it out. "WHAT?! YOU DON'T HAVE A DRESS?! MAKA! THE BALL IS IN TWO WEEKS, AND YOU DON'T HAVE A DRESS?!

I felt so small. "No."

She took a calming breath. Fine let's go get you a dress.

It took four hours, 16 stores, and 48 dresses, but I found it. And, God, it was beautiful. We were in Dawn's dresses, where there was a sale for the ball. The dress was green, with wavy red lines here and there. It was a one shoulder dress that clung to my body, and slowly but elegantly came out, but only so the skirt swayed around my legs, emphasizing their length. Jewels lined the neckline, red jewels. I had a necklace that would look wonderful with the dress, just a simple red pendant on a gold chain. All of this, of course, decided before I even tried on the dress. When it was on, I knew it was meant for me. I giggled as I twirled on the podium, looking at myself in the mirror. Tsubaki reached for the price tag.

"Oh." My stomach sank. "What?"

"It's a bit pricey."

"Tsubaki, you tell me the price right now, damn it."

It's an 8,000 dollar dress."

Now it was my heart's turn to fall. "Really?" I squeaked.

Patty jumped on the couch, putting her foot on the arm rest, in a Captain Morgan stance. "Have no fear; Kidd's credit card is here!"

"Yeah," Liz said, "She stole it from his wallet when we bought our dresses, and 'forgot' to return to it." The two shared a smile, and Tsubaki tried, and failed, to hide her giggle.

"I don't know," I started, "I should find a dress I can be able to pay for myself."

As I stepped off the podium, Liz viscously grabbed my arm. "Maka, even before you put the dress on, I knew you loved it. It shone in your eyes, and it will shine in the eyes of the guy who finds the uses to ask someone as beautiful as you to dance. You have to let Kidd buy the dress for you."

I laughed, "So will Kidd really be O.K. with buying my dress?"

She looked at Patty and smiled, "He will be,"

So with Kidd's credit card, I bought the dress of my dreams, along with the matching mask, and a pair of dark green heels Patty found.

Poor Kidd.
