Oh nooo! Please, please don't cry! Come to my house at once so we can see what will fit you. Do you know how to get here?
Nicolette would hardly wait for a response from Rosie before sending the blonde detailed directions to her home.

"No I'm okay now, but it was a close call! Hee hee. those directions work perfectly! We'll be over soon. Thank you again"
Rosie lowered her gear after pulling up the directions and smiled up at Seraphine
"Nicolette said she would help us, she might have some dresses that we can use. She gave us directions."
Reaching down to her belt, Rosie pulled loose one of the Love Balls, tossing it to release the pokemon from within.
Pastin shook his flaming mane out, looking over to Rosie as the trainer walked over and puled herself up onto his back, running her hands affectionately down his neck.

Seraphine nodded and recalled Anastasia before loosing Luna, who similarly shook her mane out and gave Pastin a greeting nicker before she peered around at the fancy buildings. It had been a while since they had come here, but she always enjoyed how beautiful everything looked. "Alright, let's go then," the brunette said, moving to gently pat the fire-type's neck before mounting up in preparation for their departure. "Hopefully she has stuff that fits, she's kind of tiny if I remember right." She wasn't sure if she did remember right, given the fact that she hardly paid the girl any attention whenever they were in the same room.

Rosie smiled at Sera "I'm sure it'll be okay, she mentioned a tailor too so, we'll see."
After all, Sera herself was pretty tiny, though she certainly didn't act it.
One arm still holding the Cyndaquil, Rosie shifted her body, lightly pressing as Pastin's side to direction him to where she wanted to go. and with the lead the trainer took off to follow the directions to Nicolette's house.

Sera merely nodded in response; she didn't feel the need to respond with anything more than that, especially since they had a plan of action and needed to act on it as soon as possible. Luna followed after Pastin as quick as she could.
While following Nicolette's directions, the girls would find themselves in vaguely familiar territory. Luke's house wasn't too far away from their destination, and as they approached a certain manor, a brown, hornless Rapidash raised her head from the grass she had been grazing from within the fencing surrounding the house's land. The girls would find no guards at the gate; instead, two stood near the door to the house itself, one on either side of the entrance. As they approached, one of the two guards stepped forward to address them, "Miss Rosie, miss Sera - Mistress Nicolette told us to expect you."

If there was any question that they were at the wrong house, it was dispersed by the appearance of Epona outside the manner.
Rosie smiled at the familiar sight of the Rapidash, smiling toward her as she lifted her head and waving to her in greeting before they were brought to the front where a pare of lightly armored men with swords at their hips.
"Yes, Hello." Rosie said, taken by surprise when they addressed them and told them they were expected.
Usually one just knocked on the door, but this worked too.

"You may leave your Rapidash out here with Epona, as well as any of your other pokemon if you'd like," the same guard continued, raising a hand to gesture at the brown Rapidash. Pascal could be seen peeking out of the barn not too far away from Epona. "Smaller pokemon are allowed in the house, as well."
Once they had taken care of their pokemon - Sera had dismounted Luna and let her, along with several of her other pokemon, go explore the yard, while Anastasia chose to stay with her trainer - the second guard pushed open the door and announced their presence. The interior of the large hall the front door opened into had similar, albeit smaller, banners that matched those near the gate of the house - House Lachapelle's emblem, colored in bronze and teal - and a number of the decorations of the room had similar colors. A maid took over as they entered the house - the only house staff in sight, actually - and led them upstairs and down another hall before she stopped at a door that stood slightly ajar. Voices could be heard from within, and the maid hastily knocked before opening the door to what was obviously Nicolette's room so Rosie and Sera could enter, and announced their presence a second time for those within.
Nicolette practically bounced over to Rosie to give the blonde a hug, while two women looked on with various degrees of confusion and curiosity in their expressions. One of them wore clothing that was quite a bit less fancy than the other, and though a few items in her hands - a long line of measuring tape, specifically - hinted that this was the tailor. The other woman stepped forward to address the main softly, "Merci. Vous pouvez aller a aider avec les préparatifs de Noël maintenant."
The maid seemed thrilled with this, and with a quick bow and a "merci" she disappeared out the door and down the hall.
"Did you find us alright? Were the directions okay?" Nicolette asked of Rosie and Sera, though the latter was too busy glancing around the large room, remembering her own room in her old house and comparing it to this room with some degree of envy.

IT was all very grand, though she supposed that was appropriate really, sometimes it took her reminding that the people she called friends were nobles, and just what that entailed.
Rosie was awed by the beautiful home, appreciating what she could as they followed they maid up to the rooms and to where Nicolette was with two other women.
Rosie beamed at the sight of her friend, opening her arms as she came over and hugging her tightly "Its so good to see you again!"
pulling back she nodded "No trouble at all, thank you for the detailed directions."
The blond glanced up to the other two in the room as well, with a smile.

"It's so good to see you too!" Nicolette was absolutely thrilled to see them both - well, mostly just Rosie, as the brunette seemed less polite and friendly - especially since she'd had to leave earlier than she'd planned and hadn't had a chance to see Rosie before she left.
The tailor seemed rather tired, but the other woman stepped towards them with her hands outstretched in a welcoming gesture, "Welcome to our home. Nicolette tells me you both need dresses for this evening?" As she spoke, her gaze was quickly traveling over both the girls, appraising their appearances.
The young noble nodded quickly, stepping away from Rosie so her mother could look them over more, though looked to Rosie again, "When did you find out you were coming?"

"Yes we do, I was caught a little off guard with everything, I didn't really consider something to wear." A sheepish look crossed her face "Or, more like what was appropriate to wear to something like this."
Rosie looked to the women who spoke to them, It didn't take much to recognize this to probably be Nicolette's mother. "I really appreciate you being so willing to help us out with this. Its very kind of you."
Northern looked around the room in awe though she stayed relativly close to Rosie, untill Nicolette came over and she beamed, floating around to greet the young girl.
Rosie had to think for a moment about when she had been asked if she wanted to go, before replying with an average estimate "It was about two weeks ago. probably a little under two weeks"

"Two weeks isn't impossible," the tailor said slowly, thoughtfully, finally contributing to the conversation. "It could be done if you knew what you needed and where to look or who to call, but I doubt you could have done much out of the country."
"Likely not," the Lady of the house agreed with a nod, then smiled at the blonde, "Of course; anything for Lucien's friends." That said, the woman moved to a nearby door and pulled it open to reveal what must've been a closet, given the number of garments visible from there. She paused and turned back to study the two girls again for a moment, then gestured to Sera since she was smaller, "You first. Come here and let's see if one of these will fit you."
Sera blinked, vaguely startled to be addressed without warning. "Uh, okay," she said a little uncertainly before she followed the woman, and the pair disappeared into the closet's interior.
Nicolette beamed at the Jirachi as it approached, and reached her arms up to offer the legendary a hug. "Northern! Are you coming to the party too? Are you excited?" She asked, the latter question posed to both Northern and Rosie.

Rosie blushed a little keeping a sheepish smile of her face.
"Thank you." She replied, It probably should have occurred to her before what to be prepared for. She would admit at least that she didn't understand just how big of a deal this was all going to be.
Watching Sera go in with Nicolette's mother Rosie turned to Nicolette, and Northern, Smiling as the Jirachi nodded slowly.
"Yeah I think so." Northern couldn't help but brighten up at the younger girls excitement, Clearly this was an event that was going to be something to really look forward to.
"I've never been to one before, I wasn't sure but now I'm really curious to see what all the excitement is about." she admitted perking up.
The Jirachi swayed from side to side, a light jingle joining her movements before a curious look crossed her face,
"Who is Lucien?"
This made her curious. Not simply for the lack of recognition for the name, but the emotions the name brought. there was a moment of surprise and pause from Rosie, followed with a gentle familiar feeling that Northern often times associated with the girl when she was around Luke, And a familiarity and excitement from Nicolette as well.

"Ah," Nicolette's eyebrows raised at Northern's question. She'd almost forgotten that the legendary didn't know. She still wasn't entirely sure why everyone called him Lucien but he went by Luke; there was a reason, she knew, but she just didn't know what it was. "Luke. His real name is Lucien," the girl explained. She brightened up more as the legendary affirmed her attendance. "Really? That's wonderful! Oh!" An idea struck her then, and her already high levels of excitement rose even higher, "Do you want to wear something pretty, too?"

Norther blinked at the news that Luke wasn't his real name, though she turned her head around to Rosie as the girl held some very strong feelings about what Nicolette had just said.
A strong disagreement... and deep disapproval that was continued to shift subtly around with what thoughts she was thinking.
Upon noticing that Northern was looking at her though, the blond just smile, and shook her head lightly.
"Huh?" Northern asked, glancing around when Nicolette addressed her again. "something to wear?" she asked

Oblivious to Rosie's feelings on the subject, Nicolette beamed happily, "Oh yes! Like..." She moved to her dresser and pulled open one of the drawers, which contained a wide assortment of necklaces, ribbons, lace pieces and much more. Some seemed to be random items while others appeared to match other items. "Something from here, we can put it on you so you can dress up too," the girl said, her hands dancing across various pieces and hovering over others, trying to figure out what would be best for the Jirachi to wear. With a small gasp, she pulled out a long, wide ribbon whose colors were similar to Northern's, though obviously missing her faceted appearance. "What about this?" She asked, holding it up a little before she held it to the Jirachi to see how it looked.
