Ok, so first i wanna thank you all for reveiwing...

The next day, Tessa was rudely awakened from a dream. A very good dream, she might add. The same dream she'd had the last two nights, every night since she;d first laid eyes on William Herondale. She'd learned that Will had the worst reputation, but according to Jem, he only makes himself out to be so terrible. Apparently, Will has had series of walls around him, and he lets very few people in.

Tessa was snapped out of her thoughts of Will when Jessamine's bratty voice screeched "If you want my help, you better get out of bed this instant! Otherwise you will look hideous. You already have a one in a million chance of even getting a date. Maybe with the right dress, people won't run screaming from the very sight of you."

"Thanks for the generosity, dearest Jessamine." Tessa replied as calmly as she could. "If you could grant me two or three spare moments to collect myself, I will be ready for whatever torture shall ensue during the day."

"Fine you have five minutes to get ready, and drop the sarcasm." Jessie turned and briskly walked out of the room. Tessa groggily lifted her head off her pillow and pulled on her favorite pair of jeans and her flowy purple flowered top, and her black ballet flats. She pulled up her hair into a messy bun and went to meet Jessie at the front doors, "Well it sure took you long enough."

They headed out to the car. Thomas greeted them warmly and ushered them into the car. It was a long and quiet ride to the dress shop, but once they got there, Tessa almost thought it would be worth it. After they got inside, Jessamine ordered Tessa into a chair and quickly went to work picking out dresses. Tessa thought they were for her to try on, but Jessamine marched herself right into the dressing room and a few minutes later, Jessamine strutted out in the beautiful blue dress she had seen hanging on the wall earlier.

"So, what do we think?" Jessamine said. She twirled around a couple times and then stepped onto the podium. The same thing happened with the next dress, and the next, and the next. It continued on, and before long, it was time for closing. "Well, sorry I couldn't save you from fashion disaster, and since the dance is tomorrow you don't have any time to get a dress." Said Jess with a smirk. Tessa was a little disappointed that Jessamine had it in her head that she was going to sabotage her, but tried to maintain a friendly disposition.

"Oh Jessamine, I'm sure I can find something to wear. What's the theme again?"

"'A Masquerade Ball'" Jessamine responded, an indignant huff in her voice. "Good luck finding an out fit to fit that standard."

Tessa couldn' help but smirk and think of all those little helpful things left for her by M.
