Chapter five: Pink Marilyn and Z-Quill

After about twenty minutes of squabbling Ma and Beth had made a decision on the bridesmaid dresses. They handed each of them a scrap of pink material. Uh oh thought Darcy this scared her but she headed in to the changing room and pulled on the dress. She almost sighed in relief it was still a little reveling but it was much classier than the hooker Barbie dress. Darcy was sure she'd seen a dress like this before but couldn't place it.

As she left the changing room and spun in circles for her sisters she realized where'd she had seen this dress before. It was a halter style with a full gauzy skirt and was the exact replica of Marilyn Monroe's iconic white dress except it was pink.

" Oh My God it's a Pink Marilyn!" she squealed making her family laugh as she did a couple more twirls.

" I knew She would have that reaction" Beth said with a smile "are these better?" she asked.

" Much." Ma, Kitty and Marie Voiced and Darcy gave two thumbs up and another exaggerated twirl . She freaking loved this dress.

" I Need a Freaking picture" she said as she fished out her phone and tossed it to Beth. Then posed in a cheese cake pin up style with a pout on her lips fully intending to send this to Steve. Beth laughed as she took it and tossed her phone back. Then whispered to her as she passed to go to the changing room.

" Steve is going to swallow his tongue when he sees that picture." Darcy grinned she was hoping so ,with the way Steve blushed Darcy knew he'd be tomato red when he saw the picture. She sent it off with the caption 'Well Hello Mr. President.'

Darcy was changing out of her Pink Marilyn when her phone went off with the theme for psycho ,it was Ian.

"Sup" she said as she finished changing into her clothes.

"Darcy she's been wide awake since you left, no breaks. Just coffee and a few pop tarts." Ian said sounding almost hysteric.

"Calm down and breathe Ian." Darcy ordered " has she gotten to the hissing and twitching stage yet?" if she had that meant she'd lied to Darcy before she left ,that was day six behavior not day three.

"Yes and she's throwing things." he said his voice getting an octave higher.

"okay make her a cup extra sweet coffee and pour a dose of Z-Quill in and stir well, she won't notice." Darcy said, god bless who ever invited it, it was a staple for crazy scientist wranglers. " But remember the Z-Quill is only for day three and beyond emergencies, okay? We don't want her becoming use to it." Then Darcy would have to go back to sugar crashing her to get her to sleep.

" And after she takes it Ian, stay in the room and watch her so she doesn't fall asleep with tools or a blow torch, understand?" she stressed to Ian, she didn't want any unneeded trips to the emergency room.

"okay, thanks for the advice Darcy." he still sounded slightly hysteric.

" And Ian, get some rest your self bud your going to need it." she hung up shaking her head, she want at all surprised Ian let Jane get to the twitchy stage. She left the changing room and found Beth sitting like a beached whale on one of the chaises. As she sat down next to her Beth gave her a wicked grin.

"How's Steve?" she asked with a raised eyebrow, Darcy rolled her eyes, god Bethy was getting as bad as Ma.

" He's fine, stop fishing." she said with the shake of her head.

" I know he's Fine Darce. Have you slept with him yet? If I didn't have Sam I'd climb him like a tree." Darcy sputtered and slapped her sisters shoulder lightly.

"No, I haven't were taking it slow, and I don't want to know about your fantasies of climbing my man." she growled then wanted to bang her head on the wall. She had never been possessive before. But Steve brought out the Neanderthal in her.

Beth laughed and hugged her " Don't freak out, I'm the same way with Sam." Darcy sighed putting her head in her hands.

" but I just met him Beth." Darcy grumbled being that possessive of a guy she just met scared the shit out of her. She didn't want to be one of those obsessed psycho girlfriends who ended up stabbing their boyfriends in the shower.

" You've never been possessive of a boyfriend before?" Beth asked and Darcy snorted.

" No never, it's just Steve is so innocent and sweet and I" she paused for a second and really thought. " I feel I need too protect him like emotionally Beth, he just seems so sad and shy." Beth smiled softly at Darcy.

" White Knight Darce." Darcy snorted and ruffled Beth's hair and then flipped her off playfully.

" Shut up"


Hi Guys and Dolls, so Darcy got her wicked dress and realized she has a possessive Steve streak ( not that anyone blames her). Next time Darcy makes a cool discovery. Love- Dizzy
