Part Nine: Getting A Dress?

"Ok. I'll let you go and get killed from Josh for waking him up," Sapphire said as she walked away.

Sky waited for her to be far away so she could talk to Jacob.

"Jacob, if you make any type of noise, we're dead," she told him as Jacob walked over to her.

Jacob nodded.

"Let's go then," Sky said as she started to walk in the direction of the rooms.

Jacob followed.

A while later. They got to Josh's room and Sky knocks on the door.

There was no response.

"Jerk!?" She called out.

There was a thud inside his room.

"Josh!?!?"

"What?" a tired voice called out.

"Mind if I sleep in your room?" she said.

"Don't you live with your aunt?" he asked as he got up and headed to the door to open it.

"Yeah, but it's quite late and I don't want to wake her up..."

"Sky, I feel like your lying to me," Josh said as he opened the door.

"I-I'm n-not," she said as she stuttered.

"You're stuttering, so you're lying. Tell me the truth," he said as he looked at her, not seeing Jacob.

"W-Well....you see.....my friend, who got banned from the village when we were younger, is here and he can't go to my aunt's so I thought he could sleep here for the night...."

"Sky, why did you tell him about us?" Josh asked, completely wording it wrong, but doesn't know.

"Us? Do you mean everyone?" Sky asked as a hint of pink went to her cheeks.

"Yeah."

"Well..." she said that she nodded.

"Sky, you're going to get into trouble."

"I know. I know, but he could join. He's actually amazing at sneaking and fighting," Sky said.

"Sky, it's not for me to decide."

"I know, but you can back me up when I ask boss."

"Sky, no."

"What?"

"I don't think I'll be able to back you up on that," he said as he looked at her and then at Jacob and then back at her.

"But-" Sky said as Josh interrupts her.

"He can sleep in my room for the night, but in the morning he has to go," he said, "just don't let Boss see him."

Sky nodded and so did Jacob.

"Wait, where are you going to sleep?" Sky asked.

"I'll just sleep on the couch in the main room," he said as he looked at Sky.

"O-Ok..." she said as she looked back at him.

"Anyways, you guys should get to sleep, so you can wake up and leave before Boss sees him," Josh said as he started walking to the main room.

They nodded. Jacob walked into Josh's room and falls asleep right away as soon as he got on his bed. Sky followed Josh.

They got to the main room.

"Hey Josh?" Sky asked.

"Yes?"

"Why did you change your mind on letting Jacob sleep in your room?"

"Well...I don't honestly know," he said, lying. He kinda knew why he had changed his mind.

"O-Oh. O-ok," she said.

Josh went and laid down on the couch and falls asleep right away. Sky went outside to think.

She got outside and went to sit on a tree branch to clear her mind. She sat on a sturdy tree branch.

'The ball is tomorrow. I don't have a dress yet. Or anything like that yet. I should probably go to the dress shop tomorrow morning so I could figure out what dress I want to wear' Sky thought, 'I should write a note telling Josh and Boss where I am so they know.'

She stayed up all night, thinking. She saw Jacob leave the guild and then she jumps down.

She headed to the dress shop when someone stopped her.

"SKY!!" they yelled.

Sky stopped and looked around to see who called her name.

"Sky, I'm behind you!" they yelled again.

"Huh?" she said as she looked behind her and saw a blonde hair, green eyes girl.

"Hi!" she said as she got to Sky.

"Oh. Hello, Jazmine," Sky said as she smiled.

"How are you? What have you been up to?"

"I'm good. I've been practicing fighting at the training grounds when no one is there. You?"

"I've been good as well. I've busy with getting ready for the ball. Speaking of the ball, did Cam ask you?"

"No, but Eric did."

"Eric?" she said, "as in the Head Knight Eric?"

Sky nods, "yes, and the one who is also perverted to me."

"Perverted?"

"Yes. He flirts with me anytime he gets or even looks at me funny when I have to go to the palace to give the king or queen medicine."

"Oh. I feel bad for you. Anyway, what are you doing right now?"

"Well, I'm heading to the dress shop to get a dress for the ball tonight," Sky said as she looked at her.

"How long ago was it when Eric asked you?" Jazmine asked.

"Monday, I think."

"Sky!!!"

"I know....I know...I've been busy with things."

"Come on. Let's go. I'll help you pick out the perfect dress for you," Jaz said.

"Ok," Sky said as she started walking towards the dress shop.

A while later, they get to the dress shop. Jaz goes and looks for a dress that would look good on Sky. Sky did the same.
