*Maria shakes her head.* Maria: You're getting married, not trying to pick up a date! Get something a bit more modest, if you feel like indulging an old woman. And some shoes. And let your hair out of the ponytail!
Maria: Just pick out a few you like, and try them on. Don't worry about size much, we can have it tailored. *She raises an eyebrow.* Maria: It's a good thing we brought you here. If we had tried anything from my closet on you... well, let's just say you're a little small...
Maria: Oh, so now you want your kids to see their mom as the ridged military type that doesn't even get rid of regulation for her own wedding? OOC: She'll probably have to wear the dress uniform... if we're still gonna do the warzone marriage.
*Maria stops and looks at her.* Maria: Do you really want your kids to look at your wedding photos and see their mom wearing a 'I Godzilla Tokyo' shirt when all their friends moms had been wearing beautiful dresses?
Hmm... well, maybe get more than the wedding dress? You do only seem to have jeans, t-shirts, and uniforms. *Shrugs.* Not to say you don't look fantastically sexy in all of them. Just some new stuff would be nice... Maria: Mm hmm. Come on! *She grabs Jade's hands.*
Maria: Nope. You need a dress... unless you're one of those naked druid people? Me: NO! No, we are not druids, thank you! Maria: Then Krystal and I are going dress shopping!
*Maria smiles.* Maria: Same thing here... though it didn't stop me from wanting a wedding when I was younger... Kaiser: Why did we elope then? Maria: Because you wanted to, you absentminded TRIBBLE! *They laugh and smile at each other.* Maria: Anyway, we still have to go dress shopping...
Maria: But... a big wedding can be safe, just- Me: Ma, please? We just want a little ceremony with our friends... *Smiles sadly, rubbing Jade's shoulder.*
*Immediately comes to her rescue. Stops his mother with a smile.* Mutter, you know how Krystal's a little conservative? We were kinda thinking about the ceremony... not being a big deal? *Smiles more.* Maria: But... but...
*Maria pulls back and starts kissing Jade's cheeks.* Maria: Omigod! I'm going to have a daughter-in-law! You're getting married. *She starts pulling Jade away.* Maria: We have to get you a dress. This wedding needs to happen right now! Kaiser, sarcastically: Before you come to your senses... Me: Hey!
*The Kaiser smiles. And suddenly arms are around Jade's neck.* Maria: Omigod! Omigod! Omigod! We HAVE to get you a dress! And some nice shoes and plan the ceremony and- Me: Ma? Maria: What? Me: I think you're suffocating her.
*The Kaiserin looks up.* Maria: What did you call her honey? Kaiser: I think they have something to tell us Maria... *He waves a hand and smiles at Jade, telling her to go on.*
