"Ouch." October grit her teeth as Grace pulled at her hair, while Ashley did the strings of her corset.

"You two must be enjoying doing this." She quipped. "And why must you do it at the same time?"

None of them replied, just continued to pull at October's hair and bodice.

"Can't you loosen it a bit?" October complained, pulling at the front of her bodice.

She could hardly breathe, and her head hurt.

"You will live," Ashley said, then placed a diamond tiara in October's hair when Grace was done.

October looked down at herself. She was wearing a yellow ball gown that was too heavy and allowed limited movement. It had a low cut heart-shaped neckline, and the corset hugged October's figure. She also wore a necklace made from pure diamonds and Chandler's earnings.

"I hope you trip and fall," Grace whispered when Ashley went to the closet to get shoes.

"Jealous that this isn't you. Still mad I am the one chosen, and not you." October mocked her.

Grace hissed, ready to hit October.
