A cascade of colors splashed down Carly's gown. Navy like the night sky transitioned to violet like nebulae. Silver like stars splattered the lowest hems. She clutched her scarf. "I'm not sure about this… I can barely walk in heels."

Rain's eyes sparkled. "You're fancy enough to be royal! All you're missing is a crown!"

She threw her arms around Carly's neck and kissed her. They broke off into giggles. "I like being so tall."

"Don't get used to it!"

The silver laced in Carly's sleeves gifted her gray irises a brilliant shine. "I love you."

"…I love you, too."
