"Maureen?" Asked Joanne softly.

"Yes, Pookie?" She answered.

"I'm sorry," They said in unison.

"Come on, let's go back." Suggested Joanne.

"Okay." Maureen agreed. Everyone cheered when they got back into the room. The group who were leaving turned. "Sorry for the delay." The confident girls said together. Angel smiled at them and they grinned back. She had always told them the relationship would work out. The rest of the ceremony went well, as Maureen avoided the drink table. Mark finally got a chance to properly congratulate Joanne. The girls had explained that the actual wedding would take place later that week. Everyone went home happily.

"Angel Dumont Schunard, will you marry me?" Asked Collins.

" Of course!" Cried Angel and pulled him into a kiss. "Let's go tell the others." Eagerly, Collins agreed. When they got to Mark and Roger's apartment, no one was there. Then, after three seconds everyone popped up and said " Surprise!" Angel and Collins jumped back at the sight of Benny, Alison, Mimi, Maureen, Mark, Joanne and Roger. "Congrats!" Shouted Mimi.

" I saw you guys out the window, took one look at Angel's ring and screamed!" Said Maureen excitedly.

"Well, we were going to say that we are engaged!" Angel joined him in saying the last word. Everyone was clapping. Roger explained that they had made up with Benny so Collins forgave him too. Alison brought out two stoli bottles. Everyone but her and Benny gasped. "Thank you so much!" They all said. Alison smiled kindly. Finally, Angel said, " We should get back, it's late. Benny agreed and they all said their good-byes.

Mark rode his bike down the street, waiting for something interesting to film. Although, whats not interesting about New York? He decided to attend yet another Life Support meeting; though just to film. He found Collins and Angel announcing their engagement inside. He joined them in clapping then kept filming. Finally, the meeting was over and Mark met up with Collins and Angel. When he got home, he plopped down on the couch. Just then the phone rang. After a while he heard "Speeeak!"

"Hey Mark or Roger, will you come over? It's Collins. The girls are planning the wedding, so I'm getting bored." Mark laughed and picked up the phone.

"Yeah, sure!" He said.

"And Roger?" Asked Collins.

"I dunno. He's probably on the roof, I'll go find him."

"Thanks dude! Bye."

"G'bye." Said Mark. He set off toward the roof. Finally, Mark saw Roger sitting there. "Hey." Roger said to him.

"Hey. Everyone's at Angel's apartment, wanna come?" Mark asked. Roger agreed. When they got to the apartment, Collins looked thankful. " Sup dudes?" He asked.

"Same as usual." Angel looked up from Mimi's nails and waved, flashing that amazing smile. After a moment, she went back to painting Mimi's nails. Maureen waved. Then all of the girls continued talked about the wedding dress. Collins, Roger and Mark talked and entertained themselves.

Benny opened his front door. "Hello!" He called. Alison went to the front to greet him. "Our niece is coming over tomorrow." She said referring their 8 month old niece. " Oh, Katherine?" Benny asked. She nodded. "Well, I'll be extra nice then." He joked. Alison laughed and kissed him on the cheek. "So can we go out tonight?"

"We'd better rest up for our favorite niece."

"Coughcough onlycoughcough Alison teased. She pouted her lips. Benny rolled his eyes, smiled and agreed. They decided to go to Sheyle's. When it was time to go, Alison finally stepped out of the bathroom. "You look stunning, babe!" Benny breathed. Alison smiled. "I love you too." They both got into the car.
