Today WILL be Perfect!
"OH YEAH! I AM THE GREATEST!" The man behind the counter stared as the
girl in front of him completed a triple spin with an air punch. He had
to admit that she was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen.
Long white hair and a skin tight outfit consisting of hot pants and a
bikini top neither of which could be called concealing. On her head she
wore a black bandana, on her hands a pair of matching fingerless gloves
and a backpack. Up until now it had been a quiet friday morning at the
mall and now everyone had stopped to stare at this lunatic. Shaami held
up the gold necklace letting the light reflect off it in pretty
patterns. "Maam that necklace costs over twelve thousand dollars. I
think this one here might prove to be a little more affordable..." The
clerk at the jewellery store fell silent. The girl had just placed a
diamond the size of his head on the counter. "I'll take it!" She shouted
gleefully. Shaami dashed out of the jewellery store and looked to the
elevator. It was full. Oh well, she was only five floors up. With this
thought in mind she leapt over the railings and began her descent.
In a small dojo not so far away Lilly woke up. She shook her blonde head
back and forth. Something was stuck to her forehead and she had a very
good idea of what it was. She removed the stickee note, reached for her
glasses and began to read.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Just lettin' ya know that I cooked breakfast (well
sorta) and that I've just gone out to pick up some stuff.
PS When I get back you're gonna be so proud!
PPS You look cute in bunny PJs!!!
Lilly blushed as she read the last line. Something was bothering her
though but she couldn't put her finger on it. Then it hit her. Shaami
cooked?! She jumped out of bed and rushed into the kitchen expecting the
worse. She was surprised to find the room intact. What surprised her
even more was the pile of delicious looking pancakes on the table. Still
unsure she took a tentative bite. Lilly grimaced and made a mental note
to tell Shaami that you shouldn't put salt on pancakes.
After falling five floors Shaami looked pretty good. She would probably
have looked better if she wasn't soaked through. Who puts a fountain in
the middle of a store anyway? Good thing she was about to go buy a...
Shaami cringed, a dress. The image of Lilly in her PJs popped unbidden
into her mind. Standing knee-deep in water she pointed to the clothes
department and said "For the woman I love I will find the perfect dress!
Today WILL be perfect and there is nothing anybody can do about it!"
With great swiftness she somersaulted out of the fountain and ran into
the store. She also ran into the back of a sales assistant. The woman
was thrown about five feet into a clothes rack and was not happy in the
slightest. Shaami quickly picked the woman up and placed her on her feet
apologising profusely. Shaami reeled as inspiration snuck up on her like
a rhino. "I'm really sorry. Umm... could you help me, I really need to
find a dress." The woman almost said no until she looked into Shaami's
eyes which were quickly filling with tears. "What kind of dress are you
looking for?" She asked. Shaami's face lit up with joy as she said, "I
want a pretty one, ya' know all fancy and stuff." They wandered into the
dress area and Shaami shuddered. As she sat on a stool the nice lady
brought forth a variety of garments in a wide range of colors. They
spent hours searching. Shaami started sobbing. For some reason this
soaking wet girl brought out the assistant's maternal instincts. "What's
wrong dear are you OK?" She said softly. "I just want to look special.
Lilly looks special everyday so why can't I for just one night?" Shaami
wailed in response. Shaami's crying stopped abruptly. She shut her eyes
and pointed randomly. Opening her eyes she looked at the dress she had
chosen. It was black like every outfit Shaami owned but it sparkled.
"Thank you so much kind lady I want that one!" Reaching into her pack
she drew forth a handful of perfectly cut diamonds. Giving these to the
kind assistant she took off at top speed.
Lilly was sweeping the dojo wondering when that crazy girlfiend of hers
would get back, when she heard an almighty crash. That would be Shaami
knocking the door off its hinges. Another crash, probably her bedroom
door and then... Shaami lifted Lilly into the air and kissed her on the
cheek. Lilly was shocked into silence. Shaami was wearing a dress and
had taken off her bandanna. In her left hand she held another small
stickee note. "Lilly I kinda wrote a poem for you I hope you like it
*ahem: I love you so much
You mean everything to me
My flower, Lilly."
The blonde blushed for the second time that day. "I got reservation
thingies for a restaurant too." Shaami added. Never in their three years
of dating had Shaami put so much thought into... anything. Lilly hurried
into her room and changed into a pale pink cocktail dress.
A table for two, candlelight and violin music. The two girls looked into
each others eyes knowing that at that moment there was no place they'd
rather be. The food was delicious and the music soothing. Shaami then
got out the golden necklace and placed it in Lilly's hand. She was so
happy she almost cried. It was when they left the restaurant that things
turned sour.
Choosing to take the scenic route through the park they found themselves
surrounded. A gang of thugs had followed them out of the restaurant. "Ok
girlies hand over the chain and we promise not to rough you up too
badly." The tallest of the five said holding up a dagger to emphasise
his meaning. "TODAY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PERFECT!" Shaami screamed
slamming the guy into a tree knocking him out instantly. The second thug
slashed at her with his own knife but succeeded only in tearing a hole
in her dress. Tears of rage were now pouring down her face a she said,
"Why did you have to ruin it?" She grabbed the man by the throat and
threw him into a trash can. The three remaining criminals lunged for
Lilly, hoping to take the necklace and run. "HOW DARE YOU!? You are not
going to touch her!" Within a minute all five men were out cold. Shaami
leaned against an oak trying to catch her breath. But she couldn't.
Holding her side she could feel something warm and wet and as she
slipped into unconciousness she guessed it had to be blood.
When she finally woke up she was in for quite a surprise. She was in her
room and her torso was wrapped in bandages. She quickly sat upright
looking for Lilly. "Shaami! You're OK I was so worried." Lilly was
sitting in a chair right next to her. "I was so afraid you weren't going
to wake up, I don't know what I would do without you... Shaami I love
you." Lilly had never said it before but now that she had Shaami was the
happiest girl in the world. "Lilly, as long as your here I'll always
wake up cos' for you I would do anything." Shaami leaned over and kissed
the love of her life on the lips.
Maybe the day had gone perfectly after all.
