WHO: Asteria and Daphne
WHEN: June 19th, 2002
WHERE: Around London
WHAT: Shopping!
RATING: E for Everyone
STATUS: Closed // In Progress

Despite all the pressure, stress, and all around anger that had been generated by the announcement of these Ministry Approved marriages, Asteria had found one small aspect that she could be happy about. Being one of two daughters that were absolutely spoiled by their father, she was quite looking forward to the dress shopping. It was a once and a life time thing, after all, and if she couldn't have the fairy tale wedding then she certainly was having the fairy tale dress. She knew that Daphne wasn't exactly looking forward to any of it, but she was hoping the older girl would relax just for a little bit and have some fun. Shopping wouldn't be as fun if she wasn't enjoying herself. Slipping into a pair of comfortable shoes, Asteria grabbed her keys and apparated over to her sister's.

"Daphne? Are you ready?" she called, letting herself in, Daphne's kneazle immediately coming over to great her as it normally did.

Daphne laughed quietly. Yeah, she was going to be a smart ass for the most of the day if she could get away with it. "I'm going to spend as much possible money on the ugliest dress I can possibly find," Daphne joked, looking over at her sister with amusement. "And the shoe thing. Think I could hit one of the boys in the head if they say anything during the ceremony? I've been working on my throwing skills," she teased.

The mention of Aunt Meredith made Daphne let out another short laugh. "I dunno, might put a weasle or something in her hair. Perhaps a small rat or a bees nest. Whichever I find first, I suppose."

"Well, if you're going to go with the ugliest one you should find, I suggest something other than white. White is lovely. Perhaps something a little more putrid. Say orange?" She responded, raising an amused eyebrow. "Or perhaps that shiny olive colour. Nothing more beautiful than resembling a piece of rotting foliage."

The boys. They had certainly been a topic floating around her mind for the past few days. She knew they weren't happy about this entire marriage issue but she didn't know they were going to react to seeing it happening. "I do hope the boys will behave. I'm sure mother will do what she can. I'd feel really bad for Harry and Roger if they opted to push the line. Let's face it neither Harry nor Roger is any match for the boys."

"I happen to like that shiny olive color!" Daphne exclaimed with a laugh. She did for some strange reason. Not that she found it terribly attractive, but it just worked with her. But ... not in a wedding dress. That was too odd. Daphne laughed again and looked over at her sister, shaking her head some.

"I told Harry just to steer clear of them. Dad is too tolerable toward this, mum is too angry and the boys will have too much fun if we let them. I'll take Carlisle, you take Braedon," she said with a smirk. Daphne could talk either one of her brothers out of anything, but as her older was her favorite, she'd take him on instead, leaving Braedon for Astoria. "We could just lie and say we're madly in love and that if they touched either Roger or Harry, we'd kill them."

"I always thought you needed your head checked." she responded, sticking her tongue out at her sister. It was childish, but she couldn't care. It was all in fun and every so often it was nice to not be a responsible adult. Perhaps that's why her and Mikael were such good friends. Irresponsibility always seemed to follow them around when they were together.

"It's a deal." While Braedon was harder to handle, he also had a weakness for tears and waterworks was something Asteria had learned to turn on and off as a child. She couldn't count the times she'd used it against her father or one of her brothers in order to get her way. "Perhaps, I should warn Roger about the boys. It seems only fair."

Finally reaching the apparation point, she stepped into the alley out of view. "Know where you're going or are you tagging along?" she asked, waiting for the response before she was going to apparate.
