A Dreamy Night

“Kate, I will cut off your limbs if you take me to another store to look for a dress that I don’t even need,” I warn Kate.

“But Kiara. What if you accidentally spill juice on the dress? What if someone steps on your dress, and it rips? What if a crow decides to dirty your dress? What if there is an alien invasion, and you get caught because you cannot run in that dress? What if som-”

“What the heck are you even talking about?” I look at my best friend incredulously.

“All of that might come true. I can’t lose you to an alien. What if you get eaten?” she cries.

“I think you are spending too much time with Noah,” Ava pipes in, taking a bite of her ice cream.

“Kate, all that you mentioned is not going to happen. I will be extra careful if that makes you happy, ok?” I assure her.

“Come on. We still need to buy you heels,” Ava drags me.

“Oh, great, are you going to make me shop for makeup next?” I question in a joking manner. They both remain silent.
