Wedding Bells
It was a very sunny, but also not so hot day, when Wheat Beer Jasper, or "Wheaty", how most of her friends are calling her, decided to take a step outside of the little house, in which her and her friends are living. Since they arrived on the food court planet, all of them got the chance to enjoy their lives their way they wanted, however it might be. Also, they got the chance to live together in a little, small house, which holds enough roomes for them, even for more gems if it would be needed.
In this moment, Wheaty just want to enjoy the first rays of the sun, when her eyes look to the mailbox. The mailbox flag faced straight into the horizon, telling the owners that they got some mail. Wheaty took a quick look, before she took out a purple envelope. "Wedding Invitation" was written on it's back, leaving Wheaty with even more confusion. So she decided to get back into the house and let Cookie Sapphire take a look at it.
"Oh my", Cookie Sapphire gasps and looks at the little card, which she had took out of the envelope. "It's a wedding invitation, from Pink Agate and Egg Opal. They want to marry each other very soon ... oh dear, I'm so happy for both of them. Actually, it was about time if you ask me", said Cookie Sapphire happily and take a sip of her black tea. She gave the invitation back to Wheaty and she took a closer look at it. The happy fiances hugged each other and looked very happy in her opinion. Wheaty begans to smile.
"Wow, that's really nice. But what do you mean with actually?", Wheaty asked confused. But Cookie Sapphire only shook her head.
"Well, it's so clear that they are deeply in love with eath other, also they were dating for so long ... I even wondered why it took so long to take this step in the first place ... do you want to go to the wedding, too, my dear?", she asked Wheaty. She nodded heavenly.
"How could I not? I'm invited. Also parties like this are also a nice time to enjoy a good trink or too. Maybe I can give the guest one of my own beer mixes, if it is ok for the fresh couple ... do you want to go to the wedding, Cookie?"
"I think, I will wear a very nice dress, with little cookies on it and in a nice, brown color. Also I want to wear my nice ballerinas I just bought a few days ago, a lovely little pair of cloves and my cloche hat, that dark brown one, which looks like dark chocolate and with that little cute bow on it, remember it? Chocolate Diamond just gave it to me as a present, what a very nice thing to do it was from him. Oh, there he is ... Chocolate Diamond, dear, would you mind to come to me for a second? And Smokey Cake, can you please come too?"
Just as both of them passed the open door to the living room, Chocolate Diamond and Smokey Cake entered the room, both with curiosity in their faces. Chocolate Diamond was a little bit nervous, too.
"What can we do for you, Cookie?", asked Chocolate Diamond camly, even more nervous. Cookie began to smile at him.
"We all are invited to the wedding of Pink Agate and Egg Opal; and Wheaty and I just decided to got to the wedding. It will be a very enjoyable time, don't you think, my dear? ... Honey, are you allright?", Cookie asked and looked worried into Chocolate Diamond's direction. He wiped a few tears away from his face.
"I ... I'm just so happy for both of them. It ... it's so nice that they get married, I can't believe it, they are soooo perfect for each other. Maybe one day, I find someone I can marry too, and we will be forever in love ... but I don't think that's going to happen."
Chocolate Diamond's eyes met the floor, he even began to cry more, it was near to mourning, but when Smokey Cake laid down her hand on his shoulder to comfront him, he already started to feel better.
"Big brother, is everything ok with you? Why are you crying, are you hurt? Is it because of the invitation?", she asked him both worried and confused. Chocolate Diamond wiped out more tears and looked up to Smokey Cake.
"No, no, it's ok, I was just sooo happy for them ... that were tears of joy, because two gems who are deeply in love with each other are finally becoming a married pair. This ist just so wonderful! Of course I will go to the wedding, whe all should go to it. But what should I wear? What will be good enough?", he asked and looked to Cookie, who is still very relaxed.
"Maybe you put on your beautiful, chocolate brown suit, with that dark brown tie and the black shoes? I remember that they fit you very well and don't worry, it will be more than enough, sugarcube!", Cookie said.
It tooked it's time, but now Smokey Cake finally got what her Not-Her-Diamond meant, and began to smile too.
"Maybe I should wear a nice little dress, but with my candles still on my head. It could be a short dress, a cocktail dress with a nice biscuit color. And with some nice and adequate high heels in a biscuit color, too. I think, that would be nice."
Cookie nodded in agreement.
"Yes, this sounds very lovely, my dear. You should ask some gem as soon as possible to make your dress, so it will be done until the date of the wedding", she added. Then she looked to Wheaty again.
"Well, my dear, what do YOU want to wear at the wedding?", she asked her. But Wheaty just shrugged and looked with an puzzled look to the smaler gem.
"Actually", she said and sounded much more unsure than before, "I just don't know what I could wear ... can you help me, please? I've never been to such things and I don't know what would look good on me. I never had any other outfit besides this", Wheaty said and looked down at herself.
Cookie also looked at Wheaty's body, which an thinking expression on her face. Then she tooked a piece of paper as well as some pens and began to drawn.
"Here, take a look", Cookie said after several minutes and showed her drawing to the others. It showed a simple drawn picture of Wheaty, who weared a nice, short orange jacket over a longer, brown shirt. Also the drawn version weared long, white trousers and a nice looking pony tail. Weathy looked excited.
"That's perfect, wonderful! Thank you sooo much, Cookie!", Wheaty gasped and gave Cookie a long, happy hug.
"That's actually a very nice idea, maybe I should put my hair into a ponytail too", Chocolate Diamond said and began to put his hair together. The others nodded in agreement.
"Well, the day just started and is already as wonderful as fresh cooked cookies. Speaking of them, I think they are just ready to be eating ... I just made some yesterday evening. Which one of my little sunshines would like to eat some delicous cookies?"
She looked around at her friends, all with an happy and excited look in their eyes.
"As I thought, my little sunshines and don't worry, there will be more than enough cookies for all of you. And while I get into my room to bring them with me, you can start to discuss what we should give the little lovebirds as a present for their wedding", Cookie Sapphire said right before she leaved the room.
