Eric was strolling the streets of Brightstone with several bags floating around him as he texted away on his phone with his new bff Irene. He was enjoying the sun and of course after a huge local shoe sale he was in hog heaven now. Eric had been in New Zealand for a little while now and had told his family that he was in love with his new home and was making friends now that he had settled in at work. Eric decided that he should rest his feet a little an rehydrate, after all shoe shopping was a tough sport. Eric found a small bench and sat down and pulled out his water bottle and moved his glasses to sit on his as he scowered the streets. After a few minutes he leaned his head back and enjoyed the nice fresh air as he closed his eyes,Today could not get any better he thought to himself.
 
Caysi was in some dire need of shopping today, she heard that there was a shoe sale; so the cheery blonde made her way from her house all the way to Brightstone Village. Caysi herself loved fashion, so she was so excited to see all the sales that were on today. Caysi walked all through Brightstone and found lots of stuff, but she was looking for more. She sighed and looked around, Caysi walked around looking at shop windows and sales, there was nothing that she could find. Caysi saw a bench with a man sitting on it, " Do you mind if I sit here, all this shopping has made me tired." The blonde laughed.
 
"Darlin I reckon that since mister perfect has not rode up to take me to his castle in the sunset that he ain't gonna show up at least not today. With that bein' said then I would be honored t share this lowly bench with such a beautiful woman of perfection like yourself. The name is Evans. Eric Evans and it is a pleasure to meetcha!" Eric said with his token smile as he stood up in the pressence of the woman to shake hands.
 
Caysi smiled, Eric was funny. " Pleasure to meet you Eric." The blonde said as she shook his hand. Caysi sat on the bench next to Eric, " We both took advantage of the sale!" The blonde laughed, " I don't think that I could've forgiven myself if I didn't come today." She said nodding.
 
"I have a weakness for a good sale, especially a shoe sale. I found everything that I need and ever wanted until that is the next sale rolls around. As for forgiven one sefl for missin sucha wonderful sale, I would have just died if I missed this one I made out like a bandit. I even called into work today." Eric said as he sat back down his mouth a flappin a mile a minute. Eric loved to talk , especially about fashion or even a good book having grown up a little muggle he had taken on the taste of one. He pulled out his new phone and sent off a text before turning his attention back to the young woman before him.

The woman was around his age and was a lovely woman. Here blonde hair and mesmerizing green eyes made her quite the stunning character. She was dress in the best threads and carried herself with elgance and grace that was only suiting to someone as powerful as she seemed. "I am so sorry were are my manners I am just clicking my tongue and so I did not even ask you your name. My mama would have knocked me into next week if she was here, were are big on manners where I grew up and so let me correct myself. What is your name suga?" Eric said in his deep texan accent.
 
Sirius had a need to protest yet again. Today area was less crowded than the day when those damn idiots decided to chant "We hate muggels champagne". He swear that was their mottor, all about segregation, not enough about uniting and coming together. "Vote for peace not lies, do what's best for New Zealand. Not for what's best in their pockets! If you don't choose wisely, history will surly repeats itself!" he kept saying, his voice echoed across the crowded area. Sirius than spreads his bag open to hand out a few Robin Hood buttons. "Sure Robin Hood was a thief and he smell bloody rotten! Still he gave what was rightfully owed to the peasants! We see the peasants, open your eyes a little more and listen up people" Sirius handed a few buttons, a few fell and rolled aside a bench full of two gossiping lillies. "Hey? What's your view of this upcoming champagne?" he asked smiling at the brodly looking one, and the blonde bleech mess of a girl. They look like the type he could see himself hanging out, "Names Sirius" he handed them both a button. "Hope you like them? There's an animated robin hood hiding somewhere" he shrugged keeping a light grin, close to touching his light blue eyes.

 
Eric was still looking at the blonde bombshell next to him, when out of the blue his attention was drawn to a rather loud and rowdy young man nearby. The man was shouting about something or another and people seem to look weary around him, the rant seemed political and so it did not hold his attention long. The man was a good looking guy but protesting was so nineties, Eric was not big on politics at least he had not found one that he would give his support to quiet yet. There were a few that he though he enjoyed but it was still to early to decided, eric was lost in that train of thought when something hit the side of one of his bags. He bent down to picked it up only to find that it was a political button of robin hood a famed muggle character. Eric then noticed that the man was all of a sudden right there in his space.

"The button seems a little childish, and you are going about your protest the entirely wrong way. You see you should not just shoot dung about someone unless you can back what your shootin with facts. Also some of the candidates are well liked and each brings something new to the table. Do your reasearch next time suga!" Eric said as he tossed the pin at the man with a wink. The man up close was good looking a little unsophisticated but he had his charm. he also had interesting eyes but Eric was no fool the man smelled of 'straight' and that was most certainly hands off zone. Eric turned his attention to the woman, but he could feel the man stilll standing near and so he switched his attention back and forth until someone spoke.
 
Sirius rolled his eyes. "What do politics need the most in order to run the race and get votes?" he played with the button that was tossed up high at his direction. "Sponsors, without sponsors they are basically defeated without an game. My parents use to sponsors a few of them back in England. I don't need facts when I already know. Besides half these candidates are newbies fighting against each other. And as for Robin Hood, hey don't hate on him. He did wonders in his journey" he grin this time saluting slightly to the man.


 
Caysi laughed, she really liked Eric; he seemed like a good friend to talk to. " We have to exchange numbers so we can text!" Caysi said whipping her phone out. " My name is Caysi Finnigan." The blonde said grinning until something flew at her engagement ring. She quickly bent down to pick it up, " I don't really have a view on the upcoming election, really." She shrugged as she kept looking at the button. " I guess that they are all new, but new can sometimes be good." Caysi said quietly, she didn't really care if the boy who was infront of her and Eric listened or not.
 
Eric rolled his eyes at the man and then turned back to Caysi as she wiped out her own phone" Oh thank merlin some one else that does not live under a rock. You know that the wizards and witches around her dont know how to use a cellphone. I about died when I found that out, back home everyone had one it was drew alot less attention then a patronus." Eric told Casyi his number and took hers and prgrammed it into her phone. "New is somethin suga, and that is what we need is somthin new. It is like shoes over time shoes fade and fall apart, or simply is out of date and so what do we do we buy the new ones that are upto the times. Sometimes we can bring the old back from the grave and use words like classic but soon or later they will be replaced again." Eric said trying to way in a little more better this time.

"OMG!!! Look at that rock on your hand suga. I swear you can probably see that thing from space. Oh when is the wedding and I am so better get an invite Darlin! I give the best gifts!" Eric said with a new found excitement. He loved special events almost as much as he loved shoes.
 
Caysi nodded, " I know, I ask some of my friends and they give me the weirdist looks, like hello technology here?" Caysi titled her head. " I agree, some old shoes just might have to be thrown out, and fresh new ones brought in to make a statement." She added to Eric's idea. Caysi laughed, " I think that they can see it up there, obviously your going to be at my wedding!" Caysi said excitedly, " Your going to help me with everything I need to wear, make-up, bridemaids, all that jazz!" The blonde smiled and clapped her hands together, " I don't think that I could've ask for a better person!" Caysi nodded as she looked at Eric, she had a feeling that they were going to be good friends.
 
"Oh for the love of merlin beard..." Sirius turn his back away from them. He ran into the best of lillies, and they seem to chatter way to much about absurd nonsense. Just his luck, he just did the best to ignore them and walk away. "Make the next choice when voting!" he called out over their shoulders. Sirius kept his strive handing out more flyers to endless strangers around him.



 
Eric noticed the young man leave but he did nothing more than gave a half hearted wave, he was going to help a new friend with a wedding and that was far more important in his world. First he met Irene and they became great friends and now he met Casyi who was on the road to a great friend title. Eric guessed he also met the man that handed it out the flyers, he did feel kinda bad for being such a jerk but that was his attitude with most men. Men unlike women tried to show who was the best when ever they met while woman hide in the background and wait to strike, Eric had avoid men most of his life and felt more comfortable around woman.

Eric smiled and tried to return to the real world, " So who is the lucky Beau to put that rock on your finger?" Eric asked now wanting the juicey details.
 
Caysi smiled and looked down at her finger. " Well his name is Ryan, he's tall and handsome!" Caysi nodded, " Wait, I have a pic on my phone." The blonde said as she took her phone back out. " That's him!" Caysi said as she handed her phone over to Eric. " He seems mysterious, and shy." She gave Eric a questioning look, who knew what Ryan was hiding.
 
"When did you all meet? How long have you been with Mr.Mysterious? He is gorgeous good for you!" Eric said as he turned toward the woman and proped his head up on his fist as he listened. Love, what he would not give to rind Mr. Romeo, he had been in relationship before but nothing long term a few flings here and there , but he wanted something concrete but he doubt that would happen anytime soon.
 
Caysi smiled as she put her phone back in her purse. " He and I met after I broke up with my ex fiance, that's a story in itself." Caysi waved her hands. " At the wedding, a girl came up to me and said that she was carrying his kid, I believed her and called off the wedding of course." Caysi sighed. " I was pregnant with twins at the time, but I left because I couldn't handle all the stress." Caysi added. " I had the twins, he and I tried to work things out with him." The blonde nodded. " But, the twins died and we couldn't even stand to look at eachother anymore so I broke it off." She said. " Then I met Ryan, he's amazing and perfect." Caysi said looking up at the sky, smiling. " I've been with him for a while, but the wedding is on March 13th, so close!" Caysi said excitedly.
 
"Just like a man thinking about only themselves! Suga I would have decked that no good lie Ex of yours if I was in your shoes, and that little homewrecker also. People these days just can not keep their mitts to themselves, but what can you do?" Eric said in a huff it was guys like Caysi's Ex that gave a bad name to men everywhere, "But you found Mr. Right because of it so their is a reason for everything. March is close have you picked out a dress yet!?" Eric said as he realized that the wedding was right around the corner,
 
Caysi shrugged her shoulders. " I just still can't believed that it happened, you know?" Caysi looked over at Eric. " I know, March is sooo close!" The blonde exclaimed, " I haven't picked any dress for me, and nothing yet for even the bridesmaids." She sighed, " I think that I may need some help." Caysi nodded.
 
"Darlin you need more than some help you need a magical miracle ? Well I am free for the next few weeks and so we need you to find that perfect dress, we also need to get that man of yours a tuxedo? Do you have a planner?" Eric said as he saw the gears a turnin in his head. He had been to so many social events with his parents and hung out with all the staff at the parties and so he had a little knowledge on these things. Eric popped open his phone and started typing away.
 
" I think that I need a miracle." Caysi said honestly to Eric. " Would you be able to help?" She asked excitedley. " My husband said that he wanted to plan all of his stuff out, so whatever, he can do what he wants!" Caysi said motioning with her hands. " Does this involve some serious shopping?" Caysi asked looking seriously over at Eric.
 
"Yes it does mean alot of shopping and a lot of headeaches but we can get this altogether in no time what so ever, can you apparate?" Eric asked as he was unsure of the answer, not everybody could travel as such and he had not time doing side alongs butit would make things easier if Cyndi could travel on her own. Eric knew the perfect dress maker however she only tailored to witches as her dresses were created with magic and as such where very expensive but worthe every galleon.
 
Caysi nodded, she knew what it took to do this. " Of course I can apparate, wouldn't be a witch if I couldn't" The blonde joked. " Where we off to now?" Caysi asked, looking over at her phone, just a little past 2; they for sure had a long day ahead of them.
 
"We are off to see the best wedding dress maker in the world, The original witch with the magic touch Elizebeth Wang. She is dress maker to the uppercrust of the magical world. If you are tight on cash I have plenty... so money is so not and object. So are you ready?" Eric asked the young woman that stood before him as he stood up from the bench with a new fire in his eye.
