Hey! This is either the second or third to last chapter! I can't believe it's almost done :( Anyways, read on!


LEAF'S POV

"You guys are, like, going to look, like, totally cute!" Violet squealed.

I rolled my eyes. "Yup."

"Like, turn right and then I'll, like, tell you when I see it," Lily instructed Misty.

Misty drove slowly down the street and Lily started shaking Misty's seat from behind. "This is it! I'm, like, so excited!"

Misty took a deep breath and drove into the small parking lot. "There, Lil'. Ya happy?"

"Duh!"

Misty and I barely got out of the car before Lily trampled us and ran inside.

"What's she so excited about?"

"Her best friend from high school, like, owns this place," Daisy said while following her sister into the shop.

Violet, Misty, and I followed them in and met Lily and Daisy at the receptionist's desk.

"Hi. We're here for, like, a private appointment with Tiffany."

The woman dialed a number on the phone at the desk and told Tiffany we were here.

Suddenly, a curly brunette in high heels came rushing toward us. "Lily!" she squealed.

"Tiffany!" Lily shrieked, giving her a hug.

"Now, who are we shopping for today?"

"Right. This is, like, my baby sis, Misty."

Misty shot her a glare.

"And this is, like, her best friend, Leaf."

"Hi."

"It, like, might be a little hard because, like, neither of them like dressing up."

Tiffany waved a hand dismissively. "They'll find a dress they love. I'm sure of it. Who's going to go first?"

Misty and I pointed at each other, and Misty's sisters all pointed at her.

Misty groaned. "Let's get this over with."

Tiffany led us to an area where we could all sit around a little pedestal and took Misty back to find a dress.

"I, like, hope she finds, like, a beautiful one. She needs to look, like, gorgeous for when she, like, wins Ice Princess," Violet stated happily.

Daisy looked at me and rolled her eyes. "Misty's, like, not running."

Lily gasped. "What?! She, like, has to! It's tradition!"

"Why does it matter?" I asked. "As long as she enjoys it, who cares?"

Daisy nodded. "Like, exactly. All your complaining is, like, gonna make her feel bad."

Tiffany walked back into the room followed by Misty in an interesting dress. "Misty's wearing a strapless beaded rhinestone pleated side bodice satin side overlay pickup ball gown."

Misty shot a glare at Violet. "Oh, wipe that smile off your face."

"Couldn't decide between, like, regular and ruffles, could you, Misty?" Lily added.

Daisy flicked them both on the side of the head. "Like, ignore them."

"It's okay. I hate it."

Tiffany turned to Misty. "Who don't you try on the dark blue one?"

Misty nodded. "'Kay."

She went back to her dressing room and Tiffany looked at us. "She's definitely going to choose either this one or the other one I pulled for her."

We could only hope as Misty came out in a pretty deep blue dress. "Misty's wearing a satin dress with a sequin beaded crisscross open back with a beaded empire and surplice bodice."

"That one's, like, better," Violet said.

Misty shook her head. "There's a hole under my boobs."

I stifled a laugh as her sisters tried to point out other good points.

"I don't like the back much either."

"Okay. Go try on the last one, and if you don't like it, we'll pull a few more."

Misty nodded and went back to change.

"I hope she likes this one. This one is my favorite."

We waited in silence for a few minutes until Misty came out with a huge smile.

Tiffany quietly sighed. "Misty's wearing a strapless ombre glitter charmeuse ball gown with rhinestone trim side and side slit."

"You look, like, gorgeous," Lily said.

"Like, simply beautiful," Violet added.

"You look just like Mom," Daisy whispered.

Violet, Lily, and my eyes widened. Misty's mother meant everything to her, and the shock that filled Misty's face was proof enough.

"Daisy, please. She would've looked much better than I do."

Daisy walked over to her sister and turned her toward the mirror. "You can't tell me you don't look like her."

Violet discreetly wiped her eyes. Lily was taking tiny deep breaths. Misty turned toward Tiffany and nodded. Tiffany smiled and marked something off on her clipboard.

She motioned for me to come over to her and she led me back toward the dresses. I gaped at the thousands of colors and dresses.

"What are you looking for?" she asked me.

"It needs to be long and green, and either strapless or one-shoulder."

She nodded and pulled three different dresses. We walked toward a dressing room and Tiffany hung up the dresses. "Try this one on first and then come out to show everyone."

I nodded walked to the dressing room. I fingered the leaf embroidery that went up the shoulder, and I felt like it was too spring for the Winter Bash. I went out in it anyway and walked onto the pedestal.

"Leaf's wearing what they call a Beyoncé style one shoulder lime green dress."

"I like it," Misty said. "The leaves match your name."

Violet tapped her chin. "It's, like, not real wintery."

Daisy nodded. "Too springy."

I nodded in agreement. "That's what I thought too." I looked at Tiffany. "Which one's next?"

"The gold design one."

"'Kay." I walked back into the dressing room and looked at the dress.

I didn't think it'd look very good on me, but I had to try it out. The other one hanging up had too many ruffles, so I crossed my fingers. I slipped it on and walked out to the pedestal.

"Leaf's wearing a long strapless hunter green A-line dress with a beaded gold crisscross waistline."

"That's, like, really pretty on you," Lily said cheerfully.

"It matches your locket," Misty pointed out.

I took a deep breath. "Yeah. It kinda does."

"You should, like, get this one," Daisy agreed.

I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled as I turned around once.

"I, like, think you wanna, like, get it too," Violet giggled.

The dress felt like it belonged to me and that it was made for me. I loved it.

"This is definitely the one," I told Tiffany.

She scribbled some stuff down on her clipboard. "Perfect. I'll get these dresses wrapped up and ready for your dance. I hope you win Ice Princess, Misty!"

Misty groaned as we all laughed, including Tiffany. We walked up to the front and Misty's sisters paid for our dresses.

"Alright!" Daisy exclaimed, now taking Misty's spot in the driver's seat. "Like, to the mall for shoes!"

Misty and I gave each other scared looks as they all squealed.


Well? Have I lost my touch, or is it still good? Please review!
