" THAT'S A NEW LOOK FOR YOU . "

AUGUSTINA LOOKS UP. SHE WATCHES AS DIEGO sits down next to her. A slight raise of her brow in slight confusion. It's true. Tina's never been seen in a dress. Let alone a gold dress. She turns away afterward.

"Blame Jamie and Klaus," she said, "they made me wear it."

They pretty much enforced it. For the wedding, Tina was going to wear something of her normal attire. Jamie and Klaus weren't having it. They basically made her go dress shopping for the event. Never in her life has she worn a dress, let alone had to go shopping for one.

"Relax," Diego replied. "You look cool."

"I feel like I'm on mars," Tina responded.

"But you're not."

Tina glared at him, crossing her arms. She's quiet. She almost feels uncomfortable because of the dress. Not because the dress itself was uncomfortable. The dress was gaining too much attraction and attention. Especially from the person she didn't want the attention from.

Gold, long, and sparkly. Three things that Tina definitely hated. She didn't like being flashy. Or, she wasn't used to it. She was used to her dark colors and camouflaging into the background. But apparently, weddings were a different idea.

"You look like that one song," Diego spoke up.

Tina turned her head. "What?"

"That song," Diego answered, "The Fleetwood Mac one."

"There are plenty of Fleetwood Mac songs, Diego," Tina told him, "Which one?"

"Um ... The gold one ... About the woman."

Tina couldn't help but to smile a little bit. "Gold Dust Woman?"

"Yeah! That's the one," Diego said back.

Tina could feel it coming back. The one Maeve told her about. She still didn't know if she felt sick or if Maeve and Milo were actually right about what they said. She's quiet for a moment, not knowing exactly what to say back to him.

The question was ... Did he really mean that or was he trying to impress?

Tina crossed her arms, looking back at him. "Shouldn't you be with Lila?" She asked.

Diego gave a shrug. Technically, he was. But, it didn't work out. Not really. He didn't want to get into the specifics. "We're not each other's date anymore," he said.

Tina is taken aback by this. "What? How come? What happened?"

He shook his head. "Don't really wanna get into it," he answered.

"Understandable."

There was a quiet between them. Well, there was music going on, so not really quiet. It isn't the first that Tina just relished in Diego's company. Was she supposed to feel happy about Diego and Lila not being each other's date for this wedding? She didn't know, and she wasn't going to bother thinking about it.

She messed with the ring that she was wearing, courtesy of her friend, Cora. Tina didn't really know what else to say. But she felt awkward sitting next to him, considering that they had fought before this.

"I'm sorry."

They both say it at the same time. Both are shocked by this. They didn't expect the other to even say it.

"You shouldn't be sorry," Tina said, "I'm the one who insulted you and your ... Little thing with Lila."

"Yes I should. I called you an overbearing bitch," Diego said back.

Tina laughed. "Well, I mean ... I was overbearing."

"You weren't. You were just trying to have my back."

Another silence. This time, it was pretty peaceful. Tina was just glad that they were back to normal. Even if their bickering annoyed everyone in the room.

She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear before staring back up at Diego. Another smile creeping up on her face once she bees his.

"So, am I forgiven, Gold Dust Woman?" He asked.

Tina chuckled, giving him a nod. "Yeah, you're forgiven, Bargain Batman."

"Still not a bargain. I am the real deal."

"Your name isn't even Bruce."

"It could be," Diego quipped back. It makes Tina roll her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Tina replied.
