After a little break (which I needed...you know, the post-Wedding crash? Heh, just kidding. :P), I have a new chapter " House of Pullip" ready for today. Enjoy! :D

Chapter 222: Wedding Blues



*Shelby and Toby are walking home together from Roxanne and Wolfgang’s wedding, they are both rather quiet*



Toby: Um…maybe you should keep this. It’s Roxanne’s…I feel…funny keeping it.
Shelby: Okay, if it makes you feel better. *takes the garter from him*
Toby: Er…the flowers are pretty. What are you going to do with them?
Shelby: I was thinking I might dry them really nice and give them back to Roxanne.



Toby: That’s nice, Roxanne would like that I’m sure.
*Shelby stays quiet*
Toby: Listen…about the flowers and garter…nobody takes that stuff seriously, it’s not like they expect us to get married.
Shelby: Are you sure?



Toby: Well, yes, it’s just a fun wedding thing.
*Shelby nods*
Toby: But…would it be so bad if we did get married?
Shelby: Um…are you…are you asking me?



Toby: I just want to know what you think. We talked about it once but that was a long time ago…at Roxanne and Wolfgang’s engagement party, remember?
Shelby: *faintly* Yes, I remember.
Toby: But…since then…when I try to talk to you about it, you change the subject. Is it taboo to talk about?



*Shelby looks stressed*
Toby: I thought you wanted to get married someday. You already know I’m ready…I mean we’ve been together for two years…I love you and don’t want to be with anyone else.



Shelby: It’s not that I don’t want to get married…and if I do get married it would only be to you.
Toby: Then what’s wrong?
Shelby: You seem so ready…and I just don’t feel ready.
Toby: Why not?



Shelby: Toby, please don’t be upset…
Toby: I’m not…I really just want to know why…so I can understand.
Shelby: I wish I could explain it better, but I can’t. I’m just not ready.
*Toby nods*



Shelby: *worried* You’re disappointed, I can tell.
Toby: Maybe a little…
Shelby: I love you…I do.
Toby: I know.



Shelby: I do want to marry you, okay? I just need time.
Toby: How long?
Shelby: I don’t know…
Toby: *sigh* I can wait.
Shelby: *relieved* Thank you.
Toby: Come here…



*Toby pulls Shelby into a tight hug*

To be continued...

I think this chapter is fairly self-explanatory...Shelby is a bit scared by the idea of marriage, but Toby is ready and willing. Yeah, it could be a little problem. :P

I forgot to mention from the last chapter, when Wolfgang threw the garter straight at Toby...I did get that idea from a wedding I went to. The groom threw it straight at his bachelor older brother as a hint that he needed to get married. It was pretty funny. Wolfgang isn't trying to make Toby get married, but Toby is one of his best friends and he's just teasing him a little.

I'm also working on some new photos to share, but I'm still working on them and probably won't have them to share until later this week.
