It was the week before Pearl and Bismuth’s wedding, and Ruby and Sapphire had decided to wear different outfits to make a sharp fusion outfit. Sapphire had opted for the dress this time, and had made her way down to an old tailor shop down the coast to find one.
The seamstress there had ignored her as she went through her wares, busy in the back; Sapphire was left to choose on her lonesome. Yet nothing seemed to shout at her today, and she was about to head out to look somewhere else when she heard a sudden shout.
“Oh! That dress of yours is divine!” The seamstress grinned, stepping out from behind her counter. “Could I convince you to part ways with it?”
“I’m afraid not,” replied Sapphire. “It is a hard light construct that cannot be seperated from my body.”
“Oh, you’re a gem, of course,” nodded the seamstress. “Well, may I take a picture to use as inspiration?”
Sapphire smiled softly. “Of course.”
The seamstress grabbed a rickety old camera with a huge bulb on top. Sapphire turned to face her, making a pose - one hand on her hip, the other stretched slightly outwards. There was a bright flash…
The seamstress set the camera down and stepped forward, feeling the fabric of Sapphire’s dress. The gem didn’t answer, her plastic skin shining in the store’s sterile lights. Deep down, she thought something might be wrong, but she couldn’t put her finger on exactly what.
“Perfect!” said the seamstress. “I’ll just copy this, and we’ll have you out of here again as soon as it’s done!”
Sapphire didn’t know what that meant. Would she be sent to another store? That sounded likely. She pondered on it as the seamstress disconnected her arms and carefully took off her dress, leaving her featureless body exposed. The seamstress grabbed a blue sundress off a rack and quickly draped it on as a replacement.
“It’ll take a week, two tops,” said the seamstress. “Don’t go anywhere!”
Sapphire would have laughed. How silly of her!
Mannequins didn’t go anywhere, after all.
Better take a raincheck on that wedding invite, Sapphire.
