Julie was busy looking at flowers decorations for the wedding until a guard showed up.

“Your Majesty, you have some guests,” said the guard.

Julie, confused, looked at him. “Thanks for telling me. May you please tell them to come in?” she asked. The guard nodded and went away. Julie went back on what she was doing when she heard footsteps approaching. She turned around and gasped. 

“Julie!!!!!!”

“June!!!!!”

Julie went to hug June the Hedgehog as a welcome gesture. “I’m so happy to see you, June,” said Julie. June smiled. “Awww. Me too!” she said. Julie looked at the other guest and smiled. “Hello Eddy.” Eddy the Hedgehog looked at Julie and smiled as well. “Hello Julie.” They hugged too. As soon as they stop, Eddy looked at Julie for a while. 

“You looked kind of different.” he said.

Julie smiled. “Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you.” So they went to sit on a sofa and Julie went to explain to them how on her 20th birthday, she and William kissed and how that kiss made them become mates for life and how it also made her “transformed”. June looked so happy while Eddy looked so surprised as Julie told them the story. 

“So, you guys are mates for life?” asked June. Julie nodded. “That’s great! Congratulations!!!” said June and hugged Julie again. 

“How did you guys get here?” asked Julie. 

“We came by running,” said Eddy. “Yeah,” said June, “But don’t worry, we’re fine. At least we did some exercise.” 

“Okay then,” said Julie.

“Plus,” said June, “we heard about your wedding and I convinced Eddy to come with me to help you.”

“Thanks guys,” said Julie as she smiled at them. 

Julie then told them that they could help with the decorations. June does the flower decorations while Eddy can help out with the table decorations. They spent time together as well.

*A few hours later~*

“(phew) I’m beat,” said June. 

“You don’t even look tired, Eddy,” said Julie. Eddy looked at her and said, “Remember: I’m a ninja in training. I don’t get tired that easily.”

Suddenly, William and Pablo came into the room with a maid holding a tray of drinks. 

“Hello guys,” said Julie. 

Pablo looks at June and Eddy for a moment. “Oh! Silly me. I’m June and this guy over here is Eddy. We’re Julie’s friends.” said June. Pablo smiled at them and bowed. “An honor to meet you. I’m Prince Pablo the Hedgehog. I’m Julie’s brother,” he said. June looked at Julie. “You never told me you had a brother, especially a cute one,” she said, making Pablo blushed a little since he isn’t used to be called “cute”. Julie looked at Pablo. “Hey. She’s already taken, okay?” she said with a tease. Pablo blushed more. “What?! I never said anything! I-i mean she’s nice, but I don’t like her like that!” Pablo stated while his face was bright red.  

William chuckled a little before sitting next to Julie. “Okay Pablo. That’s enough.” he said. Pablo sigh and calmed down. “......I’m going to my room. Excuse me.” said Pablo as he walked away. 

Julie looked at June. “Sorry for what happened,” she said. June smiled. “It’s okay. I just wanted to mess with him a little.” June said. Eddy sigh. “So, you must be William, “ he said as he looked at William. William smiled. “Yeah. A pleasure to meet you,” he said. “The pleasure’s all mine, “ said Eddy. 

“Julie,” said June, “I was thinking if you want to go shopping tomorrow for your wedding dress. I can help you.” Julie looked at her and smiled. “Sure.I love to.” said Julie. “Plus Eddy could help William pick his tuxedo, if that’s okay with you guys.”

“No problem,” said William. “Me neither,” said Eddy. 

“Then it’s settled!!” said June.

*The next day~*

“Oh! This looks cute, but this one looks elegant. However, this one is a little frilly,” said June. 

She and Julie are at a store for wedding dresses. There are rows and rows of wedding dresses. Julie looked at some of them while June went around the shop to find one that’s perfect. One dress caught June’s eyes and she grabbed it to show it to her friend. 

“Julie! What do you think about this one?” she asked.

Julie looked at the dress. “Wow. It's so pretty.” “Try it on!” said June. Julie grabbed the dress and went to try it on. After a while she came out. “How do I look?” she asked. June looked at her in amazement. “Wow. You look so beautiful, Julie.”

The wedding dress that Julie is wearing has a shoulderless top and a somewhat ruffled bottom. The top has some really elegant design and is see through in some parts where the sides of the stomach is. The part where the chest is located has some sparkly sequins on it. The bottom part is long and it’s somewhat ruffled. The outer layer matches the design of the top and it covers somes parts of the inner layer. Basically, the dress looks like it was made for princess. 

Julie looked at herself in the mirror. ‘Wow. Is this really me…?’ she thought. “Do like it Julie?” asked June. “.....I love it,”said Julie,”I think I’ll buy this one. It’s so beautiful. Plus, it’s just my size. “ 

They went to the counter and the cashier gave them a matching veil and gloves that came with the dress. They thanked the cashier and left the shop. Soon they headed to another to find June a dress.

“Since you helped me find a wedding dress, I’ll help you find your dress,” said Julie. “Sounds fair enough,” said June. Julie looked around and found a dress that caught her attention. “Try this on, June,” said Julie. “Okay,” said June. June went to try the dress on in the fitting room. Soon, she stepped out. “What do you think?” she asked. “You look really nice. I like it.” said Julie.

The dress June was wearing was simple, but has an elegant touch to it. The dress is in a  light beige color and it’s also strapless. The dress has a nice design to it too. 

“I love it! Plus, it matches your wedding dress’ color.” said June.

“Yeah. It does.” said Julie, smiling a little.

Later, they shop for shoes and accessories for June. 

*Two hours later~*

June and Julie found themselves in a cafe, relaxing.

“Today is a nice day,” said Julie. “Yeah,” said June, “At least we’re done shopping.”

Julie smiled and looked at June. “June, I want to ask you something.”

June looked at Julie. “Yeah?” 

“Well, I was thinking about something and now I know for sure,” said Julie while smiling at June. “June, would you like to do the honor of being the bridesmaid of honor?”

June looked at Julie in surprise and quickly answered, “Yes! Of course I’ll do it.” June hugged Julie in a loving manner. Julie hugged back.

Preparations are now ready, but there’s still something left to do……...
