Club 23 - Chapter XXVI - The Preparation Continues
So, Esmeralda tells her parents that she's going over to Megara's place to meet up with her and Pocahontas, and she is on her way. They decided to walk since the mall wasn't that far away from the house. They talk about what they are going to wear
"So, anything in particular?", says Pocahontas opening the conversation
"Not sure", says Esmeralda, "I'm thinking about toning it down this year" she continues
"Really?", says Megara, "What prompted this"
"Well, I don't know…just trying something new I guess, just stepping back"
"Are you sure it isn't because of…"
"Phoebus, Meg," says Esmeralda finishing off Megara's sentence, "No and yes"
"Well, what colors do you want the dress to be?", chimed in Pocahontas wanting to help
"Well, I was thinking of doing red or purple or both"
"Hopefully, it's the first or the last option, I'm heavily leaning towards purple", said Megara
"Well cool", said Esmeralda, "Just because you said that I'm thinking of doing both, say Poca, what are you thinking?"
"Well, I'm thinking of just wearing black, nothing more, nothing less", Pocahontas responded
"Hey, not bad, I can totally see you pull that off in front of John", said Esmeralda happily
"Yeah…sure", Pocahontas responded as she looked at Megara and Megara looked back at her
Meanwhile, the boys, Aladdin, Flynn, and Quasimodo are slightly struggling with what to wear after helping Phoebus with his dilemma. However, it seems that Aladdin is taking it the worst. He really wants to leave a great impression on Jasmine and her father so they can enjoy the Formal happily, or else he is going to get fed to her tiger…whatever that means
"Hughhhh, I need to find a perfect tux, so I can have a good night with my girlfriend…soon to be girlfriend", he says to himself, "I need something, anything that can help me!", he cries out
All of a sudden, one of the employees comes out from the back, like a superhero into action and springs himself away to help Aladdin
"Gee kid, what's the matter!" the employee said, "Looks like you've got yourself into a tricky, TRICKY predicament, but don't worry, I will save you, I mean look at you, you're sweating, shaking a little, I can feel your heart just beating out of your chest, I mean I'm no doctor, but…"
"Wait, I'm sorry, didn't you say that you could help me", said Aladdin to stop the employee's rambling
"Well of course kiddo, I can help you find something suitable…haha get it SUITable"
"Yes, I get it", Aladdin said slightly shaking his head sideways
"Okay, but seriously it is something in particular you need a tuxedo"
"Yes, very very serious, you see, I asked this girl out for my Spring Formal, so I really want to impress her"
"Ah, I see", said the employee, "This girl got a name"
"Yes, Jasmine"
"A flower, you're dating a flower…I mean what's so special about…"
"No no no, it's a person, a human, a very beautiful human"
"Right", says the employee, "Jasmine, nice name, what's so nice about her"
"Well, everything, nice smile, hair, the way she dresses…"
"Great!" the employee cuts him off, "What's the problem"
Aladdin starts to get a little serious, "Well, she's super rich and I'm, well…not super rich, and her father very very strict guy from what I've heard"
"Ah, I see, you need something flashy, but not too flashy"
"Yes, I've been looking for a white tuxedo…"
"Hold it right there, a white tux"
"Yes, but I've…"
"Wait right here", the employee tells Aladdin and quickly goes to the back to grab a white tuxedo. He grabs the tuxedo and presents it to Aladdin
"Bam!, look at that, white tuxedo, with a gold vest, and by the looks of it, it might be in your size!" says the employee enthusiastically
"Ok", says Aladdin and puts on the tuxedo, after a few minutes, he looks into the mirror, and the employee is shocked at how good he looks, Aladdin looks at the suit like he was made for it
"It's perfect!", the employee screams
"Yeah, it really is", says Aladdin, "I think I'm going to buy it, it is expensive though"
"I'll give you a discount"
"Really?"
"Yes, really!"
"Wow, that's awesome, thank you…"
"Genie, call me Genie"
"Not your real name, but your gonna roll with it anyway", said Aladdin
"Alrighty then," says Genie as he goes to the back, Aladdin stops him
"Um, Genie", says Aladdin
"What's up"
"I'm here with a couple of friends, that also need help finding a tuxedo, we've helped one already and you've helped me, we need two others that need saving"
"Sure!, anything I can do, I got it"
"I really hope she likes it," said Aladdin looking down
"Hey kiddo", said Genie then he paused, "I think she already does" Then Aladdin smiled, "Now tell me the name of your friends, so I can hook them up", he continued as the girls arrived at the mall as Pocahontas and Megara continue to shop for dresses, this time with Esmeralda
"Hmm, these heels look cute, but I feel like they are going to destroy my feet", said Megara looking through the heel section of the dress shop
"I don't know, those look about your size, right?", said Pocahontas
"Welp, only time will tell," said Megara as she tried on a pair
Meanwhile, Esmeralda was in the dress section browsing through the dresses that were going to match the criteria she was looking for
"Wow, this is really vibrant", she said to herself as she looked at a dress that majority was purple, but there was a corset that was part of the dress and its colors were turquoise with gold lines pointing out
"Well, it looks nice, does it scream me…yes, it is what I'm going for…not really, plus really don't feel like wearing a corset"
She continued to search the shop and found some other interesting pieces like a white gown, just a plain white gown, and then she found a baby blue dress with a pink outline. All these were good, but she had stuck gold when she found something that was the outfit of the evening
"Wow, this is how I pictured it as well", she said and it was a combination of colors she was talking about, it was a red dress with the midsection and shoulders with purple surrounding it, and it showed a little leg as well. This dress screamed Esmeralda
"I have to try this on", and she did exactly that while Pocahontas and Megara continued to try on heels
"Wow, I'm surprised this fits," said Megara after she fits her foot into a black stiletto
"I thought so", said Pocahontas as she dropped something on the floor. As she picks it up, a person does it for her
"Thanks, so much…" Pocahontas says kinda startled as she looks up and notices that it is John, the red-haired one
"Pocahontas, right?", he says
"Yeah, what are you doing here?" she asks
"I'm going to pick out a suit, what are you doing here?" he asks back
"Continuing to pick out a dress, with my friends"
"Oh, that's cool, I'll guess I'll see you around", he said as he began to leave
"Wait", Pocahontas says
"Um, yeah"
"What's your last name?"
He waits and stands there for a while
"Wolfe, the last name is Wolfe"
Pocahontas pauses
"Guess I'll see you later Wolfe", said Pocahontas
"Yeah, I guess so" Wolfe walks off and Pocahontas returns with Megara, who watches the whole thing secretly and confronts her about it
"Wolfe, really", says Megara, "He is 100% flirting with you"
"What makes you say that?" Pocahontas questioned
"You saw the way he stared at you, 100% a flirt", said Megara
"Well, forget it Meg, because I am buying a nice elegant dress for Smith"
"Sure hope so, because didn't he say he was buying a suit"
Pocahontas realized something after her friend said, "You don't think…" said Pocahontas suspensefully
The two looked at each other
"Nah", they both said and continued their shopping while Esmeralda tried the dress on for the first time. She closed her eyes, counted down, and opened them to a shocked face
"Woah" is all she can say as she models herself in front of the mirror as she was checking herself out from all angles, she even took some selfies as well
"This is the one, I sure hope he likes it", she said trying to muster up a smile, "But what if he doesn't" she doubted herself
"No, don't do that Esmeralda", she tries to up her self-confidence, "He is going to like this dress, and you're going to like his suit" After that she puts her regular clothes on and takes the dress to the counter to buy
Speaking of buying the boys have tried on and bought their suits and are on their way home
"Wow, Ali, thanks to your new work friend, we really snagged some great tuxedo sets", said Flynn
"Yeah, thanks Aladdin, we are going to make this night memorable, hopefully, with our dates", said Quasimodo
"You said it man", said Flynn
Meanwhile, the girls are wrapping up their shopping and finding their dresses, Pocahontas finds a black dress with a faint black outline and Megara finds a dress that is different shades of purple with a rose pattern. They too were walking to the exit
"Snapped some photos, how do I look?", said Esmeralda as the girls huddled around her phone to see the photos
"Wow, that is really cute", said Esmeralda
"Very cute", Megara chimed in
As they were continuing to walk, they spotted some familiar faces
"Is that…?" said Pocahontas and Flynn simultaneously
"What are you doing here?", said Megara
"Same question here," asked Aladdin
"To pick up our dresses, and you"
"To pick up our suits"
"Well this is awkward," said Pocahontas
"Not really, since we know each other, but kinda because we didn't know that we were going to be at the same place at the same time," said Quasimodo
"Agreed", said Pocahontas as she smiled and the rest of the group talked for a little bit, Esmeralda pulled Phoebus to chat"
"Can't wait to see what you wear" she starts
"Um…yeah you too", he speaks
They stand there in silence for a few minutes until they both speak
"We need to talk"
"But it can't be here", said Esmeralda
"Okay then where?", Phoebus questioned
"Can you meet me later this week somewhere, then we can talk, I'll text you"
"Esmeralda, you know I'm busy," he said, a she looked disappointed
"But I see what I can do", he continued a gave him a little smile
"Great!, see ya then", she said as she walked back to the group
"Yeah…see ya", still standing there reflecting on what their conversation will be like when that time comes, he later joins the group for some conversation
