In the elegant dressing room of a boutique nestled in Pride, Octavia stood before a large mirror. She smoothed the midnight starlight dress over her frame, the deep navy fabric shimmering like the night sky, scattered with delicate silver embroidery that resembled constellations. The soft train pooled gracefully at her feet, giving her an ethereal glow. Her eyes sparkled with emotion as she admired the gown.

Barbie Wire: [leaning back in a plush chair, sipping a cocktail] Girl, you're gonna knock Y/N's socks off with that one. He'll be blushing so hard he might faint.

Octavia: [laughing softly] That's the idea, I guess. What do you think? Too much?

Sallie May: [bouncing baby Orion gently in her arms] Too much? Are you kiddin'? Sugar, that dress was made for you. Ain't nobody gonna top this look.

Orion let out a happy gurgle, reaching for Sallie May's hair as she grinned down at him.

Verosika: [leaning over the armrest of her chair with a smirk] Y/N's gonna cry the second he sees you walking down the aisle. No doubt about it. And if he doesn't, well, I'll make him.

Octavia: [rolling her eyes playfully] Let's try to avoid making threats at the wedding, Verosika.

Verosika: [mock-innocently] No promises.

Octavia turned back to the mirror, her fingers brushing over the constellation embroidery. Her voice softened as she started discussing the wedding plans.

Octavia: [thoughtfully] So, for the ceremony, I was thinking of something simple, but with some celestial touches—maybe some starry decorations, soft lights, and a lot of flowers. Y/N loves flowers.

Sallie May: [nodding] Oh, that sounds sweet. What about the reception? You thinkin' big party or somethin' quieter?

Octavia: [hesitant] Quieter. Y/N isn't great with big crowds, and I want him to feel comfortable. And I personally don't want a big wedding. Just something simple. Only close family and friends. But we were thinking of an outdoor space with lots of room to breathe. Maybe even a telescope for stargazing.

Barbie Wire: [nodding approvingly] Sounds classy. And the food? Please tell me you're going all out.

Octavia: Me and Y/N are still discussing that. But, Beelzebub promised to make a custom dessert table.

Verosika: [grinning] Now that's what I'm talking about. Can't have a wedding without buzzed guests.

As they chatted, Sallie May shifted Orion in her arms, rocking him gently as he looked at them.

Sallie May: [cooing softly] This lil' guy's gonna steal the show, though. Betcha anything he'll out-cute everyone there.

Octavia: [smiling warmly] I wouldn't mind that.

Octavia: [adjusting the dress slightly as she sits down] So, here's the thing. I've talked to Y/N, and we've agreed that even after the wedding, not much is going to change. He's still going to date all of you, and we'll make sure everyone feels included.

Verosika: [smirking] Well, duh. It's not like we're letting go of him that easily.

Barbie Wire: [rolling her eyes] As if we let you keep that boy to yourself.

Octavia: [smiling softly] Exactly. But... there's one thing we're still figuring out.

Sallie May: [bouncing Orion gently] Lemme guess. This little rascal?

Octavia: [nodding] Yeah. We're trying to decide if Orion should stay with someone during the ceremony or come with us. He's still so young, and it might be too much for him.
