"What's wrong dear? You look so sad!"

"You're going to think I'm being silly."

"Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Whatever I think, I'll still try to help my favorite mannequin."

"It's... Well I'm always a bride."

"Did you want to wear a bridesmaid dress once in a while?"

"No, it's not what I'm wearing. Not really. It's more... I'm stuck on the wedding day. I'll always be a bride, never a wife."

"Ah. You're wanting some companionship, more of a life outside the window."

"I guess you could put it that way. I'm always a symbol of a union, but I'm all alone in the window. My bridesmaids being inert mannequins just makes me more lonely."

"Do you regret your decision to get on your stand?"

"Hmm? No! Not at all. I love being on display, and whenever a woman buys a dress they've seen me wearing it just reinforces my decision. But once in a while I do get jealous that they're wearing the dress for someone else, and that they'll get to take it off for that person too."

"Awww, honey you should have told me all this so much sooner. Let me make a phone call."

...

"Alright, dear. Under this cloth is the answer to your problem."

"That's a big cloth, can I pull it off?"

"Of course!"

"Woah, who is this plastic hunk?"

"He's your new partner in the window. I'm friends with the owner of the men's shop a few doors down. We're doing a mannequin exchange. I've found another volunteer who will wear my dresses in his window, and he's sending over a display from his shop for our window. When the mall is closed, I'm giving you two free reign of the shop."

"Owner! That's amazing! Thank you so much!"

"Anything for my favorite mannequin. And you'll sell more when you're giving off happy vibes, so this is great for both of us.
