"I've always dreamed of matching bridesmaids dresses," Mia explained to Lauren while Emily was in the change room trying on her dress for Mia's wedding. It was a bit of a challenge finding something that would look nice and would still fit on the wedding day, but Mia fortunately knew many places that would accommodate expectant guests at a wedding. Mia shrugged her shoulders and leaned into her seat, "I thought of letting you all wear your own coloured dresses but I like it this way."

"All pink," Lauren nodded. She was wearing the dress Mia had picked out for the bridesmaids and was waiting for Emily to come out so Mia could see if the dress was the right one, or if the girls would have to squeeze out of the dress only to squeeze back into another one.

"When you get married, I'll happily wear red," Mia gave a little smile, "You can hold a bouquet of red flowers, though. What's your favourite?"

"Flower?" Lauren asked and then shrugged her shoulders, "I've never really thought of what my favourite flower was before. It's not really a Samurai essential."

"So then you don't mind holding the roses?" Mia asked. "I want roses at my wedding, and I want someone to carry them. Riley refused because she said the thorns hurt her hands."

Riley, who had been playing with her bear on the floor, looked up. She was bored and desperate for something to do, but fortunately had been allowed to take a seat and let her imagination run wild. Currently, she was imagining that her pink Ranger Teddy was defeating a dress making monster.

"Roses have pointy stems," Riley told her hand, "They want to hurt you. I no trust them at all!"

"I'll make sure they don't prick you," Mia promised. Lauren nodded her head.

"Roses sound perfect."

"Mommy, will Pink Teddy be coming to the wedding?" Riley climbed beside Mia on the bench and put the bear in her lap."

"If you want to bring her, you can," Mia nodded, "I'll reserve a spot right in front so she'll be sitting next to you after you walk down the aisle."

"Then she needs a dress," Riley stated. "We can go buy her a dress after this, okay?"

"Sure," Mia nodded and finally Emily emerged from the change rooms.

"It's a little tight," she said while pointing to her stomach region, "The babies aren't going to like being so restricted."

"I can pay someone to let the dress out a bit just before the wedding," Mia insisted and she got up to have a look at the dress, "It looks gorgeous on you, Emy."

"So is this finally the one?" Emily asked hopefully, and Lauren had the same look in her eye. Both were tired of trying on different types of dresses and couldn't wait to get back into their comfortable clothes. Mia had another look at Emily, then a look at Lauren, and then back to Emily again.

"You're free."

Emily and Lauren both let out a sigh, and together they raced into the change room. Mia chuckled and took a seat on the bench again. Now it was her turn.

Riley let out a breathe, "I know how they feel, mommy."

"All we need is a dress for me and a dress for Pink Teddy and we're done…"

"HA!" Emily laughed from the change room, "You make it sound so simple. Riley, brace yourself. Your mommy isn't going to rest until she finds the perfect dress."

"It doesn't need to be perfect…"

Emily opened the door and poked her head out. She glared at Mia, "Remember that time you and Jayden got fake married? Remember how, even though the wedding and the dress was fake, it still needed to be just right?"

"The wedding needed to be realistic."

"You married my brother?" Lauren's head popped out over Emily's, "This is the first I'm hearing about this."

"She married Jayden eight times," Emily smirked and looked up at Lauren. The red Ranger gasped.

"Why did no one think to tell me that?"

"The weddings weren't real. No one signed the marriage licence and the minister wasn't ordained."

"Wait, if you married my brother and had a wedding dress, why can't we use that one?" Lauren asked Mia, cocking an eyebrow, "Wouldn't that save you time and money?"

"Oh boy," Emily sighed and disappeared back into the change room. Lauren watched her go and then looked back to Mia, who was shaking her head.

"That was a fake dress for a fake wedding. It was just right, but my dress needs to be perfect. I'm only going to have one wedding. I don't want any regrets. Besides, I can't marry Kevin while wearing the dress I married Jayden in. I need a new dress. OH! Speaking of, Emily, I have a job for you! I need something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue."

"I've got your blue already! You're marrying the blue Ranger! And, technically, your daughter is new and borrowed!"

"Emily, seriously. It's tradition! I can't get married without something old, something borrowed, something…"

"Alright, alright. I'll come up with something," Emily emerged from the change room back in her normal, comfortable clothes and with the dress in hand. She set the dress on a chair and took a seat. She glanced to Riley who rolled her eyes.

"Mommy, you're crazy."

"She said it," Emily pointed to the younger girl.

Kevin had just finished cleaning up after his final lesson. Fortunately, there had been no near-drowning experiences after his lunch break, and he had even managed to squeeze in a little game time with his class, so he was leaving in a good mood. He got changed out of his swim shorts and dried himself off before he got back into his clothes. He packed up his bag, making sure to fold everything up nicely and walked into the lobby.

"Sir! Sir!" he heard someone calling for him and turned around to see a group of girls, the same group from earlier. The one calling for him had been the one he rescued from the pool, "Look, I just wanted to thank you again for saving me."

"Don't mention it. Just be careful around the water," Kevin gave her a smile, "It can be fun, but also very dangerous."

"I'll be careful," she promised, "but I'm still very grateful."

"We all are," another girl jumped in. "Mackenzie here is, like, our best friend, and if something happened to her, we don't know what we would do. That makes you our hero."

"Seriously, girls, it's my job to make sure all the students are safe in the water. Now if you don't mind, I've got a few errands to run on my way home. I'll see you all next week."

He adjusted his bag on his shoulder and stepped outside, leaving the girls behind. They all looked to each other with big grins. Some of the girls looked like they were about to faint from overwhelming bliss.

"He's so hot! You're so lucky Mackenzie!"

"Luck had nothing to do with it," Mackenzie smirked. "I saw he was still in the pool and accidently lost my balance and fell in."

"What did it feel like? When those big, strong arms wrapped around you and pulled you to safety? It must have felt amazing! Oh my god, if that were me, I probably would have died of happiness! C'mon, Mackenzie, you have to spill!"

"I should really thank him," Mackenzie said and twirled her hair around her finger, "He saved my life, and he's so cute. I should ask him to dinner or something, you know? Show him how grateful I am and how amazing I think he is. Do you think he'll say yes?"

"He's totally going to say yes," her friend nodded and the others agreed right away. "Oh, maybe he'll even ask you to be his girlfriend!"

"How amazing would that be?" Mackenzie smiled and started to bounce in excitement, "I can't wait! We're going to be so happy together."

"You're so lucky, Mackenzie."
