----------------------------------------------
"Jamie… Playing such an aggravating prank on me! I won't allow it! And I thought he was a good guy… I guess I was horribly wrong"
Jill fixed her almond-brown hair in her usual pig-tails style and grumbled on about the "hole" problem.
She looked around the house for any other things Jamie might have messed up. She turned her head, until she spotted a jar of jam on a table; it even had a purple ribbon on the top.
"I swear… This next jar of jam's going up a different hole other than his mouth this time!"
(Get it? AHEM The hole down there
She tied a red bandana around her neck, placed the dress on her bed, and then left her home, headed for the Moonlight Café for her usual breakfast meal.
"I need to take my mind off killing Jamie for a bit… Maybe Katie will listen to what I have to say about what he's done!"
She entered the small franchise with a grumble, rang the service bell and waited for Katie to come.
"Why, good morning Jill! What can I do ya for?"
Katie, as usual, cheerfully came through the kitchen's doors humming some tune. She turned around to face Jill; until the uncommon sight of the farmer girl's frowning face caught her eye.
"Is… Something the matter with ya, Jill?"
Katie thought:
"It must be the dress… Why does she look so sad? Could it be that perhaps… -gasp- What if Lyla fell asleep in the middle of the mission and spoiled everything!? It also could be that Jill went ahead and thanked Jamie, and he insulted her for having her think that way about him! I could just see it now… Him saying, "What the hell do you think of me? I'm not damn gay! Who the hell do you think you are!?"
Or worse… What if Lyla fled during the night and sold the dress on ebay? Oh god! She would earn THOUSANDS without any for me! What a heartless witch!"
Katie was in a deep state of thinking, mentally unaware of what she looked like from the outside. Her different, frantic, expression switching made Jill uneasy… She looked like she was having a seizure. (Oh noes!)
"Are…you ok? Katie?" Was all Jill could muster.
"Oh! Jill? Right… Sorry. Uhm, go on please"
Katie smiled and rubbed the back of her head out of embarrassment, then slowly changed her expression to one which Jill could comfortably talk with.
"Well, see… This morning when I woke up, I saw this beautiful, yellow gown on my sofa."
"Good, so that must mean Lyla finished it perfectly AND left it in her home as well. That cancels out speculation #'s 1 and 3…"
"Uhmm… Should I continue, Katie? You look pretty engaged in your own little dilemma…"
"Me? Oh right, Sorry Jill. Please continue!"
Jill took a long breath shortly after being reassured of proper attention from now on, and thought of what to say next.
"Well, how should I say this… It was very beautiful and it was all according to my design. Well, it wasn't the color scheme I wanted but nevertheless, it was a lovely dress just for ME. But the weird part is that it was from JAMIE. Can you believe it? THE, Jamie. Out of all people! I would've thought a dress from Saibara would be more normal than a dress from JAMIE!"
"Jill, you're exaggerating things! Aren't you and Jamie warming up to each other more frequently? Think about it!"
"Well… The more I think about it… I should suppose…"
The farmer girl tilted her head in thought, until she just realized she didn't even share the WHOLE story.
"Wait! You haven't heard the half of it!"
"Uh oh, I feel something BIG has happened! Otherwise she wouldn't try to desperately talk to me like this! Oh no, what have I gotten myself into!?!"
"K-katie? Are you sure you're ok? I can tell you later in the afternoon or maybe… A week from now, whatever's fine with y-"
"No! Jill, I'm fine OK!?! Just get on with the story… I can't hesitate from hearing the rest!"
Katie was already shaking with anticipation, frightening the already frightened Jill even more.
"O-ok… Uhm… -sigh- Here it goes. I thought it was absolutely lovely… I didn't notice anything wrong about it. So when I finally had a chance to put it on, there were two large holes on my bosom!"
"Bosom? So you saw holes on the dress near your butt?"
"Nooo… On my chest!"
"Your boobs!?! Exactly where!?!"
Jill pointed on the exact location with both of her hands. (YEAH, she needed both)
Katie couldn't help but laugh out loud, even if she's the one who sewed the torso together.
"Two LARGE holes… On your NIPPLES."
"Shhhh! Not so loud, Katie!"
As Jill gestured Katie to tone down the frantic laughter, they heard a ceramic cup hit the floor and break.
"Shoot!" cried the culprit of the broken cup.
…It was Kurt.
His pupils were unusually small but his eyes were WIDE, maybe from the shock; and his entire face was steaming with blood-red anger.
Yes. They were unaware of him over-hearing some parts of their conversation from afar.
"K-kurt? What are you doing here?" Jill said in surprise, hoping he didn't hear what they have just talked about.
"Oh kurt? He comes here for coffee sometimes… Hi Kurt!" Katie greeted leisurely as if nothing had happened.
Kurt was practically choking from hearing the "N" word so loud, and seeing Jill trying to shut Katie up made it perfectly clear.
Jamie was trying to rape Jill.
"That bastard! I won't forgive him! No wonder Jill looked so sad and agitated when she walked in the café! She also looked angry as well… And all this talk about holes in clothes and bosoms… I'm going to go knock the life outta' that dirty, transsexual asshole!"
He quickly and angrily stood up, placed money on the counter with a strong thud, (From his palm. He practically pounded the counter) and left the café, stomping with fury in every step.
"What's his problem?" Katie said with one hand on her hip.
"Hello? Forget about Kurt for a bit! What I have here is a crisis I tell you! I think it's even sexual harassment!"
"Geez, Jill… I thought you were kind of simple-minded and cheerful, now you make me think twice about what I thought about you before"
"It's just that I'm shocked, hurt AND disappointed… All at the same time too! I would've never thought anything like this would ever happen!"
Jill placed her head on the counter and then she rubbed her head uncontrollably to try to cool it down from the heat that was building up in her noggin.
"Two large holes? Who could've been the culprit of cutting holes on MY perfect torso! The dreadful, bloody hours it took to finish it all! The nerve!"
Katie pondered more about what she should say to Jill. I mean, obviously Jill took more damage than Katie AND the dress put together.
"Look Jill dear, let little 'ole ME look at the dress. Don't you think darling Jamie wouldn't do such a reckless and merciless thing? He's too mature and sensible for that! And besides my dear, he's very hard working and proud of it. He wouldn't destroy something loads of hours would take to finish! Why would he cut holes on a gorgeous and well-made dress just for the fun of it? Think about it Jill dear"
And before Jill could react, Lyla stepped out of the kitchen door with her hips swaying as she did. (You know, like a proud and composed lady)
Jill kept her head down, too strained to even check who that voice belonged to; so she assumed it was still Katie.
"Gee Katie, I didn't know you can give such good advice!"
"Lyla! What the heck are you doing here? And how did you get in the kitchen? Were you listening?!"
Jill looked up only to find out that it was Lyla who gave her that clever suggestion.
"Yes, Katie dear… I heard the WHOLE thing. I asked Carl to let me in through the back door and he did. SO, getting to a more important subject… It amuses me how, a simple problem like this, can trouble our precious Jill. Don't worry my dear Jill, let's get a closer look at that dress and we'll get to know what really happened"
"Gee Lyla… Thanks a lot! It would really clear up a bunch of things if the dress was checked…"
"Now you go on ahead, dear Jill. Katie and I will catch up"
Lyla gently pushed Jill from the back, and then Katie opened the door for her,
"I'll get my sewing kit for damage control too, so don't you worry!"
Jill nodded and suddenly had a bright smile on her face as she left.
"Th-thanks guys… I'll go on ahead then"
Jill left the café and headed towards her home. Lyla peeked through the window and as soon as Jill was out of sight, she took Katie's collar with force.
"HOW COME OUR DRESS WHICH I WORKED BLOODY HARD ON, HAS HOLES?!? WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!?! You see my eyes? They have dark circles!!! My face was flawless up until this morning! That damn dress took me 7 hours to complete, and I had to wake up this morning and put a thick layer of make-up just so Louise wouldn't notice! What the hell happened here Katie!?!"
Lyla's eyes were practically glowing red with anger, and Katie imagined some horns growing from the sides of her head. Lyla was terribly scary. She was holding Katie's collar as if she was about to strangle her.
(She was practically floating from the strong grip of the pink-headed devilette)
"C-cool down Lyla! I don't know what happened either!"
Lyla took a deep breath, set Katie down on the ground, and then fixed the young waitress' uniform.
"I-I'm sorry Katie dear… It's just that… I was just amazed at how such a seemingly flawless plan would FAIL! I did it all beautifully until THIS happened! What could have been the cause of those blasted holes?"
"Well, you said our plan was seemingly flawless. Just like your face. HAHA!"
Lyla just looked at Katie in silence. Although, it pretty much looked like Lyla was going to maul Katie's face off.
"Ehe, moving on… We won't know what caused this until we get there, so let's get going Lyla"
"I suppose you're right. Grab your sewing kit and let's head to Jill's place. By the way, did dear Jill go to anyone before you?"
"Nope. This is the earliest door in the morning that gets unlocked in the whole village. I'm positive Jill didn't go to anyone else before me"
"You better be sure about that, Katie dear. Ok, let's go"
Katie grabbed her handy-dandy sewing case from her room, and then quickly followed Lyla towards Jill's house.
"Gee, I hope Jill's holding up fine… And I wonder what Kurt had up his ass? It's probably a pineapple to have him that pissed off"
