  AMBER BROWN ISN’T LOOKING FOR JUST ANY DRESS.  
  IT HAS TO BE **THE** DRESS.
  
  
  “How about this one?” Aunt Pam says. “It’s not pink.”
  
  
  “No, it’s outer-space green,” I say.
  
  
  The dress is iridescent, which means shiny. And yes, I like shiny, but this
  one looks like an alien ate something that didn’t agree with it.
  
  
  I give Aunt Pam my “I can’t believe you expect me to wear this dress” face.
  It’s a face I’ve been making all day. Aunt Pam is getting exasperated. Mom is
  getting exasperated. The saleswoman is getting exasperated . . . . . . and
  we’ve been to six stores before we even got to her.
  
  
  I, Amber Brown, am exasperated too. I am also disgruntled, peeved, and put
  out. I have nothing to wear. I don’t mean that I’m naked. But now that we are
  having the wedding, I must, must, MUST have THE dress!
  
  
  It’s not going to be alien green.
