I look at myself in the mirror and adjust my dress. I imagine my friends being here. What would they say to encourage me?

Band Baby says in a pleading voice, “Go on and have fun!”
Mistress Elsha Hawk says in an encouraging one, “Ya, common, and no regrets.â€?

But what if?

“Well then it wasn’t meant to be,” Freedom says almost knowing exactly what I was going to say.
Band Baby fills in, “And we will be here for you.”

I don’t know…

Mistress Elsha Hawk says, “Show him you want to be apart of the game.”

But what if he doesn’t like my dress.

Band Baby laughs, “Your dress is beautiful, now go out there and get him.”
Freedom grins, “Just do what feels right. You know what feels right.”

I sigh as there voices fade away and I am now alone. There words are encouraging, but if they were here it would be a lot easier. I walk down the stairs and await my fate with him. What it will be I don’t know. What I do know is my friends will be here waiting to talk to me afterwards.
