"Chisato-chan, look here for a minute!"

There's rare occassion for them to be able to shop together. Their holidays never overlap, sometimes it would be Aya who's having days off while she wandered with her work or vice-versa. That day, as it is unplanned, Aya and Chisato went shopping together. It was started as a normal morning talk, in which Chisato's agency told her suddenly that this is her day off and Aya happened to have the holiday at that day. Without further ado, Aya suggested for them to shop for the week together and hit a cafe as refreshment ... and the moment just flow like a water. They really walked hand-in-hand after some while they are not; they are browsing for clothes while in the incognito mode away from actress or singer's mask, they are flirting -- scratch that, it's mostly Aya mustered a lame pick-up lines, did Kaoru taught her to do so? I think it's not important to seek for the answer now -- and they are enjoying the day.

Anyways,

"What is it, Aya-chan?"

They were going to the direction of Chisato's favorite cafe when Aya tugged on her sleeve. The blonde turned to see a clothing shop with big glass showcase. When the actress examined closer, it wasn't exactly a clothing shop, but a photo studio - especially showcasing the bride clothings and sales that they are holding. Pristine white fabric flowing on the two mannequins displayed in the glass, which made Chisato think of something in her pauses.

"They seem to be holding a free try because it's bride's month," Aya steadied her red-framed glasses. "Want us to try, Chisato-chan?"

"E-Eh? B, but ..." suddenly blood rushing to her cheek; Aya happened to think of the same as her. Of course she didn't say it to the pinkette.

Aya nudged on her arm again. This time, she gave Chisato's arm a hug. She leaned closer to whisper on her ear. "... Aren't we going to marry next month?"

"Well, yes ..." why the hesitation? Chisato asked herself. And she could see Aya is beginning to release her pleading eyes even though Chisato is not looking to her girlfriend's way. "Alright, we'll go inside."

Aya is frolicking happily by the next seconds, rubbing her cheek affectionately to Chisato's the moment the blonde said okay.
- God, how can she be so cute?

Inside, they are being greeted by wide selection of clothing. There are various-colored tux, ranging from simple black to a more expensive cashmere. There are also more clothing props like gloves and hats to add. Chisato reprimanded Aya not to stay talking with the shopkeeper too long or they will discover their identity on public, and so Aya spending more time glued to Chisato while choosing on what to wear.

It's true that they are married next month, though, when she's prompted to wear bride clothing like this, Chisato felt she's not ready all of sudden. The preparation already been underway since months back after Aya proposed to her during Chisato's birthday, and seem like everyone agreed to help with preparations and all that jazz until the day of the vow come to their doors. Also, it's a bit customary but most girls agreed for Aya to wear a tux, so here Aya browsed on tux while Chisato is staying silent.

"Tell me what to pick, Chisato-chan~"

"Aya-chan."

"Hmm?"

The thought of mannequin from earlier flashed on her mind.

"How about we both wear the bride gown?"

- - -

If Chisato is asked whether she had seen Aya wearing a white gown before, she did; it was one from Pastel*Palettes performance days during their high school idol band times. Chisato did wear similar gown, but it was not as long because it will hinder her bass playing. As an idol, Aya liked to be in her twintails more than not, saying that it's 'cute' and 'idol-like'. Chisato prefered her with hair down, however, as she looked more mature and more beautiful. After they graduated and pursued each other's path, Aya grown her hair a bit - in which Chisato was surprised to see when they meet again after a year. They have promised to live together during college, but it's when everything grow cold as Chisato focused on her actress path, only to reunite after some years passed.

Chisato finished changing and doing a light make-up. She saw her reflection on the mirror to see that her cheeks are redder than earlier.

Thinking back, Chisato couldn't believe that today, the naive and silly pinkette would be the one who eventually sweep her off her feet, and the fact they have been living and struggling together.

- Ah, right. She shouldn't make Aya wait too long.

.

After the changing area, there lies the set for taking photos. The theme by now is a chapel's front, with a number of stairs before the central area. The photographer there is setting up camera, also someone with pink hair stood ready by the set.

--It's not a twintail again, not to mention, her pink fluffy hair is crowned by flowers also her slim, tall figure is hugged by translucent white fabric.

When the kind, soft red locks turned to meet her eyes, Chisato forgot how to breath.

"... C, Chisato-chan?" after some moment of silence, Aya is the one to speak. "Are you ready?"

[ No, nope, never -- there's no way she's ready for such goddess to take her. ]
