So there may be no normalcy for Melissa, but she is perfectly happy getting everything she wants, including her first choice date to the dance on Sunday. "Which dress is the best," Melissa asked her best friend Amber, while presenting her with two blood red gowns. "Ohhh, the one on the right will definitely make you look taller, it's just the right length for the dance, too, so I say that one." "Okay. Now what will you be wearing? I'm sure Ryan wants to see you in something other than jeans for this, Amber." Amber loved her jeans. She had them in all the colors of the rainbow, but Melissa was right. Her boyfriend, Ryan, deserved better than jeans of the rainbow for Sunday night, especially if he was going to dress up for her. Amber sighed. "What do you want me in, my Queen?" She asked. An hour later the two of them were still busy raiding Amber's closet for the perfect dress. "Can't I just wear this," Amber asked, exasperated, holding up an oldish light pink dress to her chest in front of her full-length head to toe mirror. "Absolutely not! You wore that two years ago to the middle school graduation held at our old school! You are not going to be following me around with bad memmories haunting you in that dress! Plus, it's old, and we can get you a new one. I'm sure we can find another at the mall that will be just perfect." "Nooooooo! Not more shopping." Amber slouched on her bed, crumpling the folds in the dress at the same time. Then she shot up, her face suddenly lighting up with an idea. "You know that dress Sharon wore to the senior prom last year?" Melissa nodded in rocognition of an old friend of their's dresses that had become too small for her. "So she texted me awhile back and asked me if I wanted, since, you know, the ocean blue matches my skin perfectly-" "And your eyes." Melissa butted in. "Yes, my eyes as well, and she said that I could come pick it up since I had asked her to save it for me if it ever grew too small for her." "How long is 'awhile back'? Are you sure she hasn't given it to someone else?" Melissa asked, unsure. "I'll call." After the call, it turned out the dress was still in her closet and they went over to pick it up. Of course, by the time they finally had the accessories for both their dresses together, it was late afternoon Saturday, meaning the dance in question was just hours away.
