"~~~~!" She squeals and gives you a hug.
"Hope! I thought you weren't coming until tomorrow!" you exclaim, hugging her back.
Hope lets go and grins. "Nope, I decided I wanted to see my cousin sooner and check out her man!" she says, winking.
You laugh, "Remember, Seto is mine!"
Hope grins and comes into your apartment, dropping a couple suitcases on the floor. "Seriously ~~~~, I can't believe you are getting married to the Seto Kaiba! Everyone in the world knows who he is, and here you are, my cousin, getting married with him!" Hope exclaims.
You smile. "Kind of hard to believe, huh? Well, you better get used to it!"
You and Hope spend the next half hour talking about everything, from her experience in college, to Seto, everything. She tries on bridesmaid dress and almost dies of happiness.
"It's so beautiful!" Hope gasps, twirling the dress around. She stops and asks, "What about your wedding dress?"
You go over to your room and bring out the sketches of your wedding dress.
"WHAT?! DIAMONDS AND PEARLS!" Hope screams as she looks them over.
"Yeah, can you believe it?" you say, trying not to laugh at her expression. After about another hour of gabbing you say, "You know Tea, my other bridesmaid? Well, she asked me to go to her house, and I think we should go over right now."
Hope's eyes widen as she hears Tea's name. "Tea? I haven't talked to her in a long time."
Hope shakes her head and says, "Uh, ~~~~, remember you gave me her phone number so we could talk and know each other before the wedding?"
You slap your head against your forehead. "Oh, yeah! So let's go right now." You and Hope get into your Eclipse and drive over to Tea's place.
A couple of blocks before Tea's place you see a girl who looks a lot like Diane Flirte. But you know most sluts look the same, so you ignore her. You park your Eclipse and you and Hope get out. You both go up to the door and are about to ring the bell when Tea opens it. She quickly shuts her door behind her and grins at you.
"Hi ~~~~! And you must be Hope, right?" Tea asks.
"Yep!" Hope says, and you think something passes between the both of them, like a secret glance you weren't supposed to see.
"Well, so why did you want me to come?" you ask, giving them a weird look.
"Oh, there's something I wanted to show you," Tea says, motioning to you and Hope to get in as she opens the door. Tea's living room is dark, and your eyes are getting used to the darkness when you hear screaming.
Continued in results!
Tea flips on the lights and people jump out yelling "SURPRISE!"
You stumble back a bit as you exclaim, "What the--!"
Tea comes up to you and her grin gets even bigger. "I took a cue from your mom. I decided to throw you a party, but girls only!"
You ask, touched, "So you planned this for me?"
Hope stands next to Tea and says, "WE planned it. That's why I came early from the U.S. You can't have a bachelorette party with out me!"
You hug them and say, "Aww, thanks!"
You see your other bridesmaid, your old best friend, Alexandria. "Hey, Alexy!" you yell.
"~~~~! Long time no see!" she replies, giving you a hug. "I can't believe you are about to get married!" Alexy exclaims, her eyes sparkling.
"Yeah, well I can!" you say. Tea has a buffet set up, and you go to pig out. Tea puts on some music, and everyone starts to dance. It's like a regular party, but a hundred times better.
A little while later you sit and you get presents from everyone. Some of them were plain silly, like big fluffy bunny slippers. You blush as you open a red box and take out some lingerie.
"Uh, thanks Hope," you say, glancing up at her.
Hope giggles, "You might not like it, but Seto will!" You hit her with a throw pillow.
A little later Tea turns on the music even louder. A couple of minutes later you hear a car drive up. "TEA I THINK YOU SHOULD TURN IT DOWN A LITTLE!" you yell.
"WHAT?!" Tea yells back.
"TURN..." you start, but you hear the doorbell ring. You and try to put on your best smile as you go to open the door.
You open the door and try to look innocent as possible, ignoring the fact that the music was pounding in your ears. You see two young policemen. One has a pair of black glasses on and a disapproving glare. The other is slightly shorter, but no less stern.
"Um, hi. How can I help you?" you ask, trying to smile at them.
The one with the glasses takes out a notebook and opens it up. "Is this the home of Tea Gardner? Are you ~~~~ ~~~~?"
You gulp. "Uh, yes," you stammer.
The shorter guy takes out some handcuffs.
