Chapter 6: Bizzare Bazaar

Everyone had woken up early. Eva and the others had gotten up earlier so they could get to the market before the heat set in. Around 8 o'clock everyone was ready and they met at the spot they had agreed on.
" So who are we looking for first?" Eva asked walking through out the market.
"Me!" Misuru shouted." And I know what I want already." She said walking up to a medium blue dress. She went ahead and tried it on along with a pair of deep blue shoes and a diamond mask.
" How does it look?" She asked twirling around.
" Perfect." They all said togther.
" I'm next." Mikuru said walking towards another shop. They looked around in there for a bit before leaving with a pair of dark brown shoes. After 2 more shops she picked out a orange dress with some red earrings. Crystal went after her and picked out a purple dress with violet shoes. Then Aroura who picked out a green dress with a pair of dark green shoes.
Finally after 4 hours of shopping only Aya and Eva where left.
" I think I know the perfect dress for Aya. But its back at the palace. So Eva, your the only one left." Crystal said looking Eva over.
" Alright," Eva said looking around at the remander of shops." Lets go to this one." She said walking into a small store. They looked around and Eva tried on several dresses but decieded that there was none she really liked.
"How about that one?" Aya said moving towards a larger shop. They went in and searched every rac of clothes they could find.
"I found it!" Eva cried happily while holding up a black dress with a diamonds going around the waist.
" Thats perfect for you!" Crystal yelled." And what about these to go with it?" She said holing up a pair of strapped sandels up with some pearl drop earings.
" Even better." Misuru yelled. Eva went ahead and tried the items on only to come out with everyones mouths open and silence.
" You like it?" She asked thinking they didnt like it very much.
" Like it? We love it!" They shouted. Eva was happy that they did because she liked it a lot.
They left the store and headed back to the palace.
" Aya, Eva mind coming with me and Aroura to get her dress?" Crystal asked pointing to Aya.
" Sure." They said." We'll see you later tonight okay?" They asked the twins. They nodded and walked off with thier bags. Crystal and everyone else walked down to the 2nd floor basement.
Aroura and Crystal stopped and started going through boxes and boxes.
" I finally found it!" Aroura yelled picking up a box and taking it to the middle of the room.
She opened the box and took out an almost exact copy of the dress cinderella wore in Ever After. Aya gasped at the resemblence.
" It was our mothers wedding dress. I think you will like it very much. Since well you know the movie and all." Crystal handed the dress to Aya who galdly took it.
"It's amazing. It's the most beautiful dress I've ever seen. But I can't take it since it was your mothers." She said handing it back to Crystal. Who just puched it back into Aya's arms.
"I'm sure she would have wanted you to have it." Aroura said smiling. Meanwhile Eva was looking around in the box tring to find a pair of matching shoes for Aya to wear. But she only found a blue green rock necklace.
" Aya come here." Eva said holding up the necklace." And bring the dress along to." Aya walked over to Eva. Who put the necklace on top but slowly lost the location of it because it had faded into the color of the dress.
" Thats amazing." Aroura said." Crystal do you think...?"
" We're not supposed to talk about that. We'll have to wait and find out." Crystal said icily while walking over to a different box and pulling up a pair of sea blue shoes.
" I'm sorry that we dont have any butterfly wings to complete it. But I think this is all we need." She said heading back up the stairs.
" I'll take your bags up to your room. Since the ball isnt for another 4 hours, why dont you walk around? Well I'm going to go and see dad. I'll see you later." Crystal said leaving.
" Yeah just do what ever you want its fine with us." Aroura said leaving as well. Eva and Aya soon followed after.
" I'm going to go check out the garden again. Are you going to be okay by yourself?" Eva asked.
" Yeah. I'll be okay. I'm just going to check the animals. Go have fun. I'll see you later." Aya said walking off. Eva started walking towards the garden.

With Eva
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
Eva walked in the garden just looking at all the flowers. She knew the names of some of them. Like the roses, lavendar bushes, and the lilacs. But the rest of them she didnt have a clue. So she went to find a gardener to tell her what they where. She found one tending to a rose bush.
" Excuse me." She said. The gardener looked up." Can you tell me what some of these flowers are?"
" Sure. Which ones do you need to know?" He asked looking at all of the flowers.
" Those 4 over there." Eva said walking towards the colorful flowers. There were so many different colors of them. Blues, whites, yellows, creams, and reds.
" Well those right there your looking at are chrysanthemuns." He said," and those up there are clematises. The ones next to them are hibiscuses." He stopped talking to look at his work. A big grin spreading across his face.
" What about those white ones?" Eva asked walking over to them," They're beautiful." She said touching one lightly before stepping out of the way so he could see.
" Oh yes those are the most precious here." He said picking one lightly off the bush and handing it to Eva.
" And why is that?" She asked holding it in her hands.
" If you look at it from a distance it looks like a dove. And the white shows its purity and love it has for others. Thats the magic of the columbine." He watched her as she moved it around in the light and finding the dove inside." I think you should be heading back unless you want to be late for the ball."
" Oh yes thank you for the dove." She said before walking off.
" Your welcome." He shouted while heading back to his work. Eva was almost out of the garden when someone called her name. It sounded distant at first but it came closer.
" Molly I need to talk to you." She turned around to see Aikka walk up behind her.
" Hello Prince Aikka." She said.
" I need to ask you how to impress a girl." He said blushing slightly.
" If this is about Aya then you should give her some flowers. Almost all girls like flowers." She knew it was about Aya. The way they acted around each other and talked to each other. And that day when they met. She had promised Aya that she would not tell Aikka that she liked him.
" Thank you very much Molly." Aikka said running away. Yep this was going to be an interesting outcome. She started walking back to her room.

Earlier with Aya
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
Aya was walking back to the room when Jordan came up behind her. Which seemed odd since he usually was off trying to impress Eva. But maybe he just wanted to talk. She thought about the possiblites for a moment before deciding it was impossible.
" Hello Jordan, what do you want?" She asked opening the door to the room. She walked in and he followed her.
" I just wanted to talk to my little sister. Is there anything wrong with that?" He asked as Vindu scampered up to Jordan. He picked the puppy up and set it in his lap while petting the ball of fur.
" Yes. You never just want to talk. But I guess its okay." She said as she opened Lycaena's cage. The little ferret popped out and ran up onto Aya's head. Lycaena stood up on its new pearch and looked around at its surrondings. Before landing on Vindu in Jordans lap. The ferret noticing a new playmate jumped off Aya's head and ran over to Vindu. The puppy was curoius about this little slinky of fur. Vindu jumped down and started to chase Lycaena around. Both enjoying the exercise.
" I just wanted to know how your day went with picking out the dresses and stuff." He said as he became the new play equipment for the little bundles of fur. Aya laughed at the look Jordan had on his face.( Which was a cross of happiness and confusion.) But Jordan didnt find his new postion one to be laughed at.
" It went fine. Everyone had a good time. What about you?" She asked as he was relieved of the antics of a ferret and puppy. But she was soon the new item to run around on. Now it was Jordans turn to laugh at Aya. Unlike her brother she liked having animals near her.
" It was fairly boring. Unlike your day." Jordan said still watching his sister intently.
" Anything else you want to ask me?" She said as Vindu finally stopped and sat down on her lap. Lycaena landing on Aya's foot.
" Yeah what should I give Molly? You know to like win her heart?" He asked blushing slightly when he finished.
" Why dont you try some flowers? Just about every girl loves flowers." She said watching him get up and go to the door.
" Thank you Aya." He said before leaving.
" Your welcome Jordan." Aya said before moving the sleeping fur balls off her lap. She went and got out the dresses and other things. So that when Eva got back it would save a little more time on getting ready. Maybe this was going to be even more fun than she thought. A few minutes passed and Eva walked in. She went over to the facet and got a cup full of water. Then put a flower in it.
" Did you have a nice time in the garden?" Aya asked.
" Yeah I did." Eva said.
There was a knock on the door before Misuru, Mikuru, Crystal, Aroura, and some girls came in with thier dresses.
" Its time to get ready!" Misuru and Crystal chimed together.
" Lets get to work. We have 2 hours." Mikuru said directing each of the girls to whom they would help." And start!" This was going to be the longest two hours any of them had ever lived.
