AN: In the last chapter, Miley went to go get her wedding dress, and brought it back home to put up for the big day. Michael wanted to get a peek without disturbing it, or opening the plastic that it was in. Michael got David to use his third eye to look at it, but before they could do anything, the dress, plastic and all, mysteriously disappeared. Now, the panic sets in.
Chapter Two: The Dress Part Two
Michael just stared between the empty space that once contained Miley's wedding dress. He just had the dress in his hands, and now it was long gone. Poof, and gone it went. All Michael could do was look at the empty hands of his and back at David. He did that for a few minutes before David finally spoke.
"Okay, that happened." David said scratching his head. It took a few moments for both of them to register what had just happened, and while David felt like laughing at the events that just happened, Michael felt like panicking.
Michael looked at his empty hands, and moved them back and forth between his face and the thin air. Then he looked on the front and back of his hands, trying to see if the dress was anywhere in his hands at all.
"Mike, it's gone." David said, chuckling a little bit.
Michael looked at David, sheer panic on his face. He ran over to him, grabbing the collar of his shirt.
"It can't be! It has to be somewhere!" Michael screamed. Michael ran into the other room, looking around for it in the living room, and under the couch pillows. David stood at the doorway, and he couldn't help but to smirk at the panic that his friend was going through.
"Mike, calm down. We are gonna find it." David said.
"How? It disappeared into thin air, like magic!" Michael screamed. Michael was searching the rest of the living room, when he stopped, and looked at David.
"What?" David asked him.
"Magic." Michael said. David was going to ask him what he meant by that, but once he had a moment to think, he knew where Michael was going with this.
"Wait, you think Alex did something, don't you?" David asked him.
"Don't you?" Michael asked him back in a honest tone.
"Really, after what just happened, that would be the best explanation." David said.
"Call her. See if she can help us out at least." Michael said, sounding desperate.
"Fine." David said, grabbing his cell phone, and dialing her number.
"Hello?" Alex stated.
"Babe, you wouldn't by any chance have put a spell on Miley's wedding dress, have you?" David asked calmly.
"Yeah. Miley wanted to make sure that Michael wouldn't peek at her wedding dress, so she asked me to put a spell on it." Alex said. "Wait, why are you asking me that?"
"Well, it's gone." David said.
"Wow, it works? Sweet." Alex said.
"Babe. Focus! Get over here, because we need to find it." David said.
"Okay, I'll be on my way." Alex said.
David hung up the phone.
"David, will she be able to find Miley's dress?" Michael asked him.
"Mike, you are my best friend, and Alex is my girlfriend. She has been doing magic for a while, so I will tell you the truth." David said.
"The truth is?" Michael asked him.
"You are royally screwed, my friend." David said honestly.
Alex arrived at Michael's and Miley's home, and Michael immediately pulled her over to the couch, and sat her down.
"Alright. I really need to know, what spell did you put on her dress?" Michael said, breathing uneasy as he spoke.
"I put a spell on the dress to prevent anything from happening." Alex said. "She wanted to make sure that nothing was going to happen to the dress before the wedding day."
"That spell that you did, it was also a fail safe if Michael tried to peek at it, right?" David asked her.
"I didn't think it was, but know I think it was." Alex said.
"Obviously." Michael muttered. David shot him a dirty look, and turned back to his girlfriend.
"Okay then, Alex. Where is the dress now?" David asked her.
"I have no idea." Alex said.
"Dear god tell me you have a plan to get it back at least." Michael asked Alex, sounding desperate.
"I think I do." Alex said.
David looked at Michael, and Michael shrugged his shoulders.
"Fine. Go ahead and do it." Michael said. They stood back, and Alex worked her magic with her wand, and Alex not only brought the dress back, but three of them.
"Great, which one is it?" David asked her.
"I don't know." Alex said. "One of these dresses has to be the real thing."
"Wait, why the hell are there three of them?" David asked her.
"I think it is because the spell that I did brings the closest match in the nearby area." Alex said. "One of the three here is the dress, and the other two are close copies, I guess."
"Wait a minute. How can we be even sure that these things are really her wedding dress?" Michael asked them.
"We have to look and see." David said. As David went to unzip one of the packages, Michael turned away from them.
"What are you doing?" Alex asked him.
"I am not looking at her dress." Michael said, shaking his head. "That is what got me into this mess in the first place."
"Fine then. Fair enough." David said. David moved to grab one of the bags, and when he did, the black plastic went up in a quick flame.
"Shit!" David yelped, shaking his singed hands.
"What did you do?!" Alex asked him.
"David, what the hell just happened!?" Michael asked, fearing even turning around.
"The damn thing went up in smoke when I touched it!" David screamed.
"Why?!" Michael screamed at him.
"I think it is because I am a demon." David said. "I don't know, that's it I guess."
"Great, Alex you look at the next one." Michael said.
"Okay." Alex said. She opened the bag, and shook her head.
"This isn't it." Alex said, setting the dress aside.
"Wait, are you sure? Are you 100% sure about hat, Alex?" David asked her.
"I saw it first hand, and this isn't it." Alex said. "It is close, but it isn't it by a long shot."
"What are you- Never mind, never mind, screw it. Just look and see on the last one here." David said, pointing to the last dress.
Alex took a deep breath, and began to slowly open the bag containing the dress, being careful not to damage it at all if this was rightfully was the dress.
David could only watch as Alex reached into the black plastic, and pull out what they hoped to be the wedding dress...
Even though he wasn't able to see it, Michael could literally feel Alex breathing a sigh of relief as she reached into that black plastic, and pull out Miley's wedding dress.
"It's it, alright. This is her wedding dress." Alex said, giving David a smile. David sighed, and fell back onto the couch that was right behind him.
"Thank god. Crisis averted." David said. Alex then carefully placed the dress back into the protective black plastic covering and zipped it up even more carefully.
"Okay, where does it go?" Alex asked Michael.
"In the back of the bedroom closet, where it originally was in the first place." Michael said.
"Okay, back it goes." Alex said, walking into his bedroom to return the dress to it's rightful place.
Michael walked over, and collasped next to his friend.
"Well, that just happened." Michael laughed, David reached over, and punched Michael in his arm.
"I take it that you are not going to try and peek at the dress again?" David asked him.
"No way. I will wait until the wedding day." Michael said.
"Good. Because you got lucky with Alex being able to find that dress. God knows what she was going to bring back." David whispered to him.
Michael laughed.
Miley, with Destiny on her hip, entered her home, and saw Michael sitting there asleep, with a Christmas movie going on the TV. Miley could only smile as she made her way over to him. The minute she put Destiny on the couch by him, she crawled over and onto her father's lap. That caused him to stir and wake up.
"Hey girls, what's up?" Michael said, finally waking up.
"Oh, nothing. What did you do all day?" Miley asked, sitting next to him.
"I had an adventure." Michael said. "David and Alex almost got me into some trouble, but I managed to steer clear of it."
"Well, that is what those two are kind of known for. You told me first hand." Miley said, grabbing Destiny when she crawled over to her. Miley grabbed her daughter, and headed towards the baby's bedroom.
Michael just sat there on the couch, thinking about what happened today. He felt bad for almost ruining Miley's wedding dress, but thanks to Alex, he was able to avoid certain disaster, that of which could and would have led to something as bad as the wedding being called off.
Of course, with one situation being adverted, he has to deal with another that is going to come up, and that situation is his Bachelor Party, and Miley's Bachelorette Party.
That is going to be another can of worms right there...
AN: Sorry for the short length of the chapter. I decided to end the chapter right there for the sake of preventing it from dragging on too long. Okay, the next chapter will be the bachelor and bachelorette's parties. Of course, with the way that this story is going, there will be some big surprises for both Miley and Michael alike. You will see what I am talking about...
