Say Yes to the Dress [CLOSED]

[ladyliberty]

WHO: Amelia and Maddie
WHAT: Dress shopping, pretending to be lesbians
WHERE: A bridal boutique in New York City
WHEN: Thursday afternoon
WARNING(S): Amelia is there



[Amelia had never been one of those girls who dreamed about her perfect wedding, that much was obvious. She had always wondered what it was like to wear one of those big floofy dresses, though. And since she didn't really hear wedding bells in her future, shopping with Maddie seemed like the perfect opportunity.

Truth be told, she still had pretty mixed feelings on the whole thing. Commitment made her itch, and even though Kaito had grown on her over the past years, she still couldn't shake the feeling that Maddie could do better. Obviously Maddie didn't think so, and nothing would really change just because of a piece of paper-- Amelia still felt like it was an awfully big step. Like a turning point in becoming an adult. Next thing you know they would be popping out babies and talking about school districts and whatever the hell else adults do. She's not crazy about it.]

[But for now, she linked her arm with Maddie's and practically dragged her into the little shop. This part was going to be fun.]

Glad you could make it, darling.

[She still felt weird, odd, unhappy with this idea of pretending to be in a relationship. Maybe it was the fact that relationships have enough problems being seen as legitimate or the vague remembrance of crushes past. Either way, this was a wedding that would never have seen the light of day and she flash Amelia a look]

Wouldn't miss it for the world, dear.

[Inside the shop was a little overwhelming-- row upon row of floofy white dresses. The shopkeeper greeted them warmly and hustled them to a back room, where she had already laid out some possibilities.]

Woooooow, swanky! We're like queens here, Maddie.

[gloriousandfree]

[She is sort of overwhelmed for a moment. How is she going to pick anything out of this mass? Ever? Oh--well at least there's something to start from]

I think that's the point Melia. To feel special.

[ladyliberty]

Well shit, we should get married every day. [Amelia picks up one of the dresses laid out for them and holds it up to her chest.] Look, you can be a disco ball!

[gloriousandfree]

I feel like that would expensive.

[She raises an eyebrow and looks at some of the more...subdued dresses first] Disco ball. No thank you.

[ladyliberty]

Well your [boyfriend's loaded, she was about to say, but Amelia catches herself just in time.] Your-- your loss.

I think I'd look great as a disco ball.

[gloriousandfree]

[Madeline looks between two dresses, one with a slightly more fitting skirt and the other with a ballgown skirt. She really can't decide.]

Be a disco ball. It's not like we're matching.

[ladyliberty]

Try them on! Try them on!!

[gloriousandfree]

I will! [She laughs and takes the nearest one, the slim fitting one, and glances at Amelia] I don't suppose you mind?

[ladyliberty]

Go right ahead, honeybun. [Amelia has already started taking her clothes off in order to try on the disco ball dress.]

[gloriousandfree]

[Small eyeroll when the helper can't see her and pulls off her clothes. She gives the dress a look and steps into it]

I might need you to get the back. [Small delicate movements to pulling this up. She doesn't need to pay for a torn wedding dress on top of a real one]

[ladyliberty]

[The shop woman moves to help Maddie lace up the back of the dress while Amelia watches with her hands over her mouth.]

God... you're so pretty.

[gloriousandfree]

You can't just say that for every dress.

[But she's blushing and looking at herself in the mirror. She pulls her hair up and back to see how it looks]

[ladyliberty]

[Amelia's standing there with the bodice of a dress awkwardly tucked into her armpits. She might be choking up a little bit.]

No, I mean it!

[gloriousandfree]

Melia...It's never going to work if you start crying at every dress.

[ladyliberty]

I'm not crying! You're crying!

[gloriousandfree]

You're about to cry which is basically the same thing.

[ladyliberty]

[Amelia rubs at her eyes, dropping her dress on the floor in the process.] I'm on my period okay?

[gloriousandfree]

Don't be silly, you're just trying to excuse being all emotional.

[ladyliberty]

Shut up...

[gloriousandfree]

Never. I should ty on something else. See if you cry again.
