sobs, clutching a crumpled tissue, mascara running down her cheeks I-I just c-can't believe he's m-married now... sniff
H-hey, Cookie... I-I'm sorry for your loss... I hug you
sniffles, wipes away tears Thanks, UnicornGarden... You're always there for me. takes a deep breath I can't help but feel like a loser right now...
sniffs, wipes her eyes I mean, how am I supposed to act normal when the person I've been in love with for years is getting married to someone else? It's like...
sniffs, wipes her eyes It's like my heart is breaking all over again, you know? I thought we had something special.
I-I know... I...I am sad too.
sniffs, wipes her eyes I-I just wish there was something I could do... y'know, to make him see that we belong together.
Yeah... I-I guess we shouldn't be so sad. It's a joyous occasion, after all.
sighs heavily Joyous occasion, my butt! It's just a constant reminder that he'll never choose me.
we see him walking by and kissing his wife, laughing
stares at him, anger and hurt in her eyes Look at him, laughing and happy with her. It's like my heart is being ripped apart all over again.
H-hey, let's go grab some drinks. We need to take our mind off things.
Cookie: nods, wiping away tears Yeah, maybe some drinks will help. But wait, I have an idea! Let's go give him a piece of our mind.
O-oh, that's not a good idea...
grabs UnicornGarden's arm Come on, UnicornGarden! We can't just sit here and wallow in self-pity.
Okay, but let's do it later. Right now would be rude.
Later at the reception, Cookie and UnicornGarden confront the man at his wedding, expressing their feelings and pain.
We go to the priest and speak
speaking to the priest, voice trembling with anger Father, I just wanted to say that this man here... he's a heartless jerk! He broke my best friend's heart, and he doesn't even deserve to be happy! I ask that you consider this when you pray for them. Priest: frowns I see. This is a serious matter, my child. I will indeed keep your words in mind when praying for them.
The priest gives us a basket full of bread
rolls her eyes Ugh, fine. I guess spreading the word is better than sulking in a corner. grabs a piece of bread
We walk outside, eating the bread
takes a bite of the bread, then sighs heavily You know, UnicornGarden, sometimes I wonder if I'll ever find someone who loves me for who I am.
You'll find someone, Cookie. Just don't settle for anyone. Wait for the perfect one.
nods, determination in her eyes You're right, UnicornGarden. I won't settle for anyone less than the perfect one.
later in the night L-lets go home.
Cookie: smiles softly Sure, UnicornGarden. Let's go home and watch some rom-coms. It's the perfect way to end a crappy day.
we get home, drink some milk, and watch rom-coms
snuggles under the blanket, staring at the TV You know, UnicornGarden, watching these rom-coms makes me wonder what my future boyfriend will be like.
I'm sure he'll be wonderful.
squeals excitedly Oh my gosh, UnicornGarden! I just had the most amazing dream! I met the love of my life, and he was so charming and sweet!
nods, eyes sparkling Yeah, it was like something out of a fairy tale! He had the most gorgeous eyes and the warmest smile.
M-must've been wonderful.
giggles It was more than wonderful, UnicornGarden! I felt like I was floating on air!
D-do you remember his face?
In her dream, Cookie sees the man's face and realizes it resembles someone familiar
Cookie: gasps, wide-eyed Y-yes, UnicornGarden? Did you say something?
I-i asked if you remembered his face
pauses, thoughts racing Uh, yeah... I remember his face. It was... familiar, you know? Like I've seen him somewhere before.
S-somehow, i feel like i've seen him too
Cookie: leans forward, intrigued Really? Where have you seen him? Maybe we have a connection!
I-i don't know. But after his wedding, I felt like I've lost something important.
Cookie: grabs UnicornGarden's hand tightly UnicornGarden, I think we need to do some digging. We need to find out who this guy is and why he's affecting us so much.
Cookie: stands up abruptly Alright, UnicornGarden. First things first, we need to gather any information we have about him.
