[the gang soon arrived in town aftr 45 mins of driving]
Sylvia: (looks up at an upcoming store) That it?
Baxter: Nah, that's just a regular boutique, we're heading ovr there [pointed at a slightly fancier boutique up ahead]
Sylvia: :) Nice.
Brad: (nod)
Baxter: [parked the truck somewhere near the boutique] Here we are
Peepers: Oh, we're here? [looks up at the boutique] Ooh, classy
Brad: :) Sure is.
Peepers: [hops off] Let's go in then
Baxter: I'll be in the arcades across the street wen ur done
Brad & Sylvia: (climb out)
Peepers: [enters] Hello? Anyone here?
Owner: Hi, welcome to Blooming Hearts Wedding Boutique. How may I help u?
Sylvia: Yes, our friend here needs a suit for an upcoming occasion. (gestures to Brad)
Peepers: Maybe throw in a dress for this little cutie as well [gestured at Angel]
Owner: No problem. Come, the men's section is right here [leads Brad to that section]
Brad: :) (follows)
Owner: [leads them to the men's section where there were an array of suits r available] Take ur time to choose
Peepers: We will
Brad: (nod) Thank you, sir.
Peepers: So, anything catch ur eye, Starlight?
Brad: (looks around) Hmm.
[there were half a dozen of shelves filled with men's suits, some with different shades of colours for each design]
Brad: Looking around to see which one appealed to him the most)
Peepers: Wat abt this one? [pointed at a generic, normal-looking black suit]
Brad: (looks at it) Seems too simple.
Peepers: [sees a dark blue one, almost midnight colour] Wat abt this?
Brad: ...(nod) Possibly.
Peepers: So? Decided on anything?
Brad: (picks out both a navy blue suit and a dark red suit) Which one looks best on me?
Peepers: [rubbed his chin] Hmm... Maybe a mix of both? Something that matches ur usual hero attire, like... [takes the pants of the navy blue suit n the top of the dark red suit n puts them together] There, a nice combo
Brad: (thinks a moment) (nod) Sure.
Peepers: Maybe u can bring Angel to find a dress for her, Syl, while I help Starlight here with testing his suit
Sylvia: (nod) Sure thing.
Brad: (hands Angel to her)
Angel: [whined] Pa? [was wondering why Brad passed her to Sylvia]
Sylvia: He's gonna be busy for a little bit, kiddo. :) How about we pick out your dress in the meantime?
Angel: Wee~~! :D
Sylvia: (chuckle)
(in the toddler's section)
Sylvia: (picks out a white poofy dress) :) How about this one?
Angel: [poked at the poofy dress n giggled] Nyah! :p
Sylvia: Okay. (picks out a pink one decorated with strawberries) This one? You might smell like strawberries~ :p
Angel: [sniffed at the strawberries, then nommed at it, her face scrunching wen the "strawberries" had no taste] Blah! ;p
Sylvia: Hehe. (picks out a simple yellow one) This one, then?
Angel: [looked at the simple colour, blew raspberries at it n yawned] (yawn)
Sylvia: ^^;; Okay... What one do you pick then?
Angel: [looked abt, then sees a velvet red one decorated with tiny roses at the hem n a butterfly on the chest area of the dress, n the skirt itself was quite poofy] Muu! [pointed happily at it]
Sylvia: ^^ (picks it for her) :)
Angel: [hugs the dress happily]
Sylvia: (giggle) You're cute, kiddo. You know that?
Angel: Nyah :p [poked at the poof on her dress] Poof! (giggle)
Sylvia: :)
Owner: [came to chk on them] Oh hello, found wat ur looking for?
Sylvia: Just dress-searching for this little lady. Think she's made her pick. (giggle)
Owner: [sees the dress] Ooh, she's got good taste there. How is ur friend doing with his suit?
Sylvia: Busy trying on a few.
Owner: Just lemme knw if he's ready. Shall I hold onto the dress for u at the counter?
Angel: [hugs the dress possessively] Nyah!
Sylvia: (chuckle) You don't want the dress getting messy, do you, kiddo?
Angel: Hmmm.... [pouted, then handed the dress to the owner]
Owner: Good girl, u will get it bk once ur daddy's done, eh?
Sylvia: (nod)
Angel: Kay~
Owner: [brought the dress to the cashier counter]
Sylvia: Let's go see how your daddy's doing, shall we?
Angel: Wee~~!! [raise her arms up happily]
Sylvia: ^^ (heads back to Brad and Peepers, holding Angel)
Peepers: Welcome bk, Syl. Find anything?
Angel: [leans forward to try n reach her daddy]
Sylvia: (nod) She found her dress choice, the owner's just holding onto it.
Brad: (takes Angel) Hey, little butterfly^^
Angel: [giggled n nuzzled him]
Peepers: [gestured at Brad who is wearing the suit] Wat do u think, Syl?
Sylvia: (looks) :) Suits ya Brad.
Brad: :) Thanks.
Angel: [giggled n pulled happily at Brad's suit]
Brad: Now, now sweetie, Daddy needs this for the wedding.
Peepers: So ur getting this one then?
Brad: (nod) Yup.
Peepers: Right, let's get this to the owner n wrap it up then
Sylvia: :) Yup.
[The gang made their way to the counter with Brad's suit of choice]
Owner: Oh, hey there, hv u made ur choice?
Peepers: Yes, but we were wondering if its OK that they're a combination of different suits [shows her the suit] We thought the pants frm one suit n the top frm another suit looks best on him
Brad: If it's possible, sir.
Owner: I'm sorry, we're not too keen on mixing n matching, all the suits hv to come in a set. I'm afraid u hv to buy both suits if u want to get that combination
Brad: Oh, I see... Well, it wasn't easy choosing one of them so I guess it would work.
Peepers: Can't u make an exception? We've come all this way
Owner: Sorry, rules are rules
??: Well, well, fancy seeing u here. Who got hitched?
Peepers: [turned to see the familiar snout poking in] Oh no... Not that fish face...
Sylvia: :| I swear to gob...
Angel: :( (hides her face in Brad's chest)
Brad: It's okay, butterfly.
Awesome: [struts in in all his glory, his second in command Knucklehead following behind him] Ooh, just u, little eyeball? N ooh, hey there, Bee, long time no see (smirk) [wriggled his eyebrows flirtingly]
Sylvia: :| That's SYLVIA to you.
Awesome: [sees Brad] N who's this prince charming here? Don't tell me ur getting hitched with tht pretty boy, Bee [ignoring her remark]
Peepers: No, she is getting married to me, u fish face
Awesome: U?? Chick like her marrying YOU?! Don't make me laugh (rofl)
Sylvia: :| I am getting married to him. At least he can handle this, unlike YOU.
Brad: (frowns, comforting Angel)
Awesome: [blinked] Wow, ur serious, huh? Ur actually gonna marry that pipsqueak? [snorted] Sure, with his size, I'm sure he can "handle" u just fine [patted Peepers' head, emphasising his height n size]
Peepers: None of ur beeswax whether I can handle her or not (thinks: I hope I can tho) Wat the heck r u doing here? Don't tell me ur getting hitched too
Awesome: Pfft! A party man like me NVR settles dwn. If u must knw, I'm getting a suit to attend someone else getting hitched
Sylvia: |-( We don't recall you on the guest list.
Awesome: Obviously not, since this is the first I've heard of u guys getting hitched. No, I'm invited to my friend's wedding in the 7th galaxy. He's got a thing for the reds n blues, so me as the bestman hv to get something tht matches
Peepers: Red n blue? Wat kind of... (idea) [an idea clicked] ...something like this? [shows him the other half of the suit combo: blue top n red bottom]
Brad: ?
Sylvia: Uh, Peepers, what're you doing?
Peepers: Well, the owner said we can't do mix n match, n we hv to buy both suits to make this combo, so why not we just pay for one of the suit each n then just swap the tops n bottoms we want?
Awesome: Hmm... Sounds decent enough. I guess u can hv good ideas once in a while, unlike tht bonehead
Peepers: Wat do u mean "once in a while" there, fish face?
Sylvia: :| Yeah, what do you mean by that?
Awesome: |-( Whatevr, lets just pay for the suits n get it ovr with [takes the blue suit]
Peeper: Don't u wanna try it first?
Awesome: [peeked at Brad's physique, then stood nxt to him shoulder to shoulder to compare sizes, then shrugged] Ehh, we're more less the same size. I'm good. Besides, I've got a tailor on board my ship who can make changes
Peepers: |-( Of course u do
Brad: ^^;;
Sylvia: |-(
Awesome: [forked out the money n paid for the blue suit] Ur turn, eyeball
Peepers: Hmph, dont need to tell me twice [paid for the red suit, then swapped the pants with Awesome]
Brad: (comforting Angel who was still afraid of Awesome)
Awesome: Right, gtg. Cya. Good luck on ur wedding, Bee. If u need a shoulder to cry on wen tht eyeball can't handle u, feel free to ask bonehead for my number [laughs as he left]
Peepers: Gee, ur welcome! [snorted frustratedly] The nerve of him...
Sylvia: Tell me about it.
Peepers: [passes the suit to Brad] Here u go, on the house
Brad: :) Thanks. (looks to Angel) He's gone now, sweetie, he's gone now.
Angel: :(?
Peepers: Dont worry, princess. He's all bark bt no bite. He won't hurt a fly, tho he can annoy them to death |-(
Sylvia: (nod)
Peepers: Lets go, Baxter might be waiting for us a while, tho I bet he's in no hurry to go home :D
Sylvia: :) Yeah, let's.
