Change of Seasons

Stacey nodded. "Yea, we have everything done except this." She said jerking her chin towards the thick book of fonts.

[Miss Xantier]

"Let me have a look at that, okay one question I have to ask you. What theme will your wedding be? Royal, romantic that stuff." asks Isabelle looking at the fonts.

Stacey smiled and her eyes became distant as she put all of the details together in her head. "Classic, I think. The colors are red, ivory, and black, so it has a well-used feel, but at the same time it`s romantic and new. We`ll be using carnations as the flowers, red ones. My dress is kind of old-fashioned, but it`s really beautiful." Her eyes drifted closed as she could see the whole picture in her mind.

[Sky]

"Isabelle..you need to get over this break up thing. You're only what...thirteen?" Sky guessed. Sky had been through break ups. They hurt at first but eventually, the pain numbs and gradually disappears. "Just...take it slow. Don't think about it."

[potter_fan122]

Stacey nodded in agreement with Sky, snapping out of her trance. "Yea, Isabelle. When I was thirteen, I thought I was going to marry Niles. But look what he did; he left me for four years to go fight someone who`s already dead." Her tone turned icy and she quickly edited through the part where he came back and wondered why Stacey was with someone else, and the part where he almost killed Aiden and she threatened to kill him if he did.

[Sky]

Sky stood up from the table and pushed her seat in.

"Why do we waste so much time on love?" Another question she had pondered. She didn't give the two any time to answer though. She had already exited out the door, pulling the hood of her jacket over her head. As she walked past the window, she gave them a smile and waved. Sky needed to get out of the shoppe. She couldn't be in one place for so long.

Stacey stood up and almost ran after Sky, btu she stood where she was and thought. Would she want someone to follow her? Stacey soon decided that she would follow Sky, and if she didn`t want to be around her, she would leave.

She relectantly burst from the shoppe and bounded in the direction Sky had gone.

"Wait," She called. "Love makes you blind. You can`t see that it will hurt you, you can only see if it`s right for you. Sky... people each have their fair share of good and bad in their lives, depending on their choices, things can get better or worse. I`ve had my share unhappiness, believe me. Now it`s my chance to have happiness. This is your time, too." She said.

[Sky]

Sky turned at the sound of Stacey's voice, shocked that the girl would bolt out of the shoppe in the pouring rain just to answer a silly question.

"Stacey..." Sky started, listening to her words. "I don't think you understand. I'm not concerned about finding love right now. But I'm just...curious. I see these people all happy or distraught over love. I just wonder...is that really what life is about? Chasing love?" She shrugged and looked up at the clouds.

Okay..so maybe Sky had lied a little. She did want somebody to love. It wasn't her hearts greatest desire, but it was something that she had hoped for. "Thanks for coming out to answer my question though." She said and then smirked. "But no offense... you're an idiot."

[potter_fan122]

Stacey listened to Sky`s words carfully and just smiled and shrugged when she got insulted. "Aren`t we all? Life isn`t about love, it`s about finding your place in the world, at least that`s what I think. And sometimes your place belongs with someone else." She aswered freely, pushing her now wet hair out of her eyes, she could dry it later, it wasn`t that big of a deal.

"We waste time on love because it makes us feel safe and happy; everything else just gets put on hold." She tilted her head to the side and her eyes softened. "I know that I`m an idiot, but what can I do about it?" She shrugged again.

[Sky]

Sky laughed.

"I'm sorry. I think you misunderstood me again. I meant that your an idiot for following me out here in the freezing rain. You could catch a cold!"

She smiled and put her hands in her pockets. "But again, thank you. You helped to answer a lot for me today."

[potter_fan122]

Stacey shrugged a third time. "I`ll be fine. I can warm myself up." She said, flicking her fingers and producing a small flame that wasn`t effected at all by the weather. Then a large grin spread acsoss her features. "And if you need help with anything, just come by and ask me, I`m glad to help." She said over the rain.

[Miss Xantier]

Isabelle was looking through the book when Sky had gotten up and left and then noticed Stacey left too, and Isabelle looked out of the window and watched them talk. Summoning a umbrella Isabelle grabbed the book and left money and with that followed the others out of the shop. "Did you guys forget all about me? To answer you question Sky, love is difficult and interesting to talk about even if its hurtful for someone who has just got dumped to talk about, but you feel lighter and better when you talk about it." she said. Thinking about what Stacey said in the shop and how they were alike in love, and agreed with herself on the inside that she wouldn't give up on finding love.

[Sky]

"Thanks guys." Sky said while smiling.

"So...I think I've picked out the perfect present for you." Sky said mischievously.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey rolled her eyes. "Please, no!" She said with mock horror. She then turned to Isabelle. "So, have you found my perfect font?" She asked, motioning to the heavy book.

[Sky]

Sky made sure to block her mind of the male stripper that she would send to Stacey's dorm so Stacey wouldn't predict it.
