Hey everyone! I'm back! And writing, which make that twice as good. I haven't written in a while because of school, lack of inspiration, and general laziness. But a couple days ago, this scene suddenly hit me. And it was the cutest thing, so I decided to write something leading up that scene, which, according to the plan inside my head, is now the ending. I'm not actually sure how long this story's gonna be, I'm just gonna write whatever it takes to finish it, but I'm thinking that it's gonna be no longer than ten chapters, at the most. And this is the first story that I've written with multiple chapters, so a pat on the back for me.

And whether you're an old reader of mine (thanks for sticking with me for so long!) or a new reader, thank you for giving this story a chance, I hope I don't disappoint you!

Okay, not to keep you waiting, in case someone actually reads these Author's Notes, or if you don't and you have to annoyingly scroll past these things. Just gonna disclaim this; I hereby declare that Ally Carter owns the Gallagher Girls characters, but the plot is mine. I present to you:

The Best Man and the Maid of Honor

.

Cammie rolled over in bed, getting comfortable right before falling into the blissful state of sleep.

Well, that was the plan, before it was destroyed by none other than the one and only Bex Baxter bursting into the bedroom that the two girls shared, and flicking on the light switch. Light flooded the room with a flash, momentarily blinding the almost-was-asleep girl.

Bex let loose an ear piercing scream, like an over dramatic teenage girl; waving her hands around with her eyes closed and all, before jumping onto Cammie's mattress gleefully and roughly shaking her shoulder, "Cammie! Cammie! Cammie! Cammie!"

Cammie lazily turned her head towards the glowing girl with her eyelids half open, grunted, before closing her eyes again.

She felt her pillow being yanked from underneath her head and smack her in the face. Cammie didn't even flinch, just lifted her hand from her chest which loosely pointed at Bex in midair, before it landed on the mattress, as if to say, I'll get you for that. Later.

Bex finally had enough of her friend's lack of ability to be woken up, screamed the reason for her extreme excitement, "OH MY GOD CAMMIE! I'M GETTING MARRIED!"

Cammie's eyelids shot open and she bolted upright, "What?!"

Bex was beaming, "Grant proposed on our date! It was so romantic, I almost died!"

Cammie's arms wrapped around Bex's shoulders in a tight hug, "Oh my gosh! I'm so happy for you, Bex!"

"What in the world is interrupting my beauty sleep?"

Both girls turned their heads towards the doorframe, where a Macey McHenry who had a pair of eye masks resting on top of her head, with her arms crossed, eyebrows raised, and a hip cocked. Peeking from behind Macey's supermodel pose was a petite Elizabeth Sutton, clutching a pillow to her chest, dressed in a wispy, pink nightgown. They had been woken up by the amount of shouting, which obviously was able to be heard in the other bedroom, of their two-bedroom-two-bathroom apartment all four best friends shared.

"I'm getting married!" Bex shouted.

There was a moment of silence in which Macey and Liz looked at each other, and then ran towards the bed on which Cammie and Bex were both still sitting on, while shouting indecipherable phrases of surprise, congratulations, and excitement.

They all shared a group hug, and when they pulled away, Macey exclaimed with a grin, "I'm planning the wedding!"

"Thanks Mace, and I want Cammie to be my maid of honor!" Bex said.

Cammie stuttered, "Are you sure? I think Macey or Liz would make a much better maid of honor, and-"

Macey said, "No! You are gonna be the maid of honor because I'm going to be directing the wedding. And what are you talking about? You'll make a great maid of honor! You're so good at being supportive."

Liz nodded, "And I might trip on the walk down the aisle or something, so I don't think I want to walk in the front…"

"Oh alright," Cammie said, "okay, so tell us how he proposed, Bex!"

"So you know how he took me to that fancy restaurant?" Bex started, "After we ate our dinner, and we were almost done with our deserts, he took my hand and started talking about how he loved me and stuff, and how he has been thinking about our future and stuff, and how he wants to spend the rest of his life with me and stuff, and how he want to make me happy and stuff. Then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. The whole restaurant was watching, and Grant even had this one waiter video tape it. Of course I said yes, and then everyone cheered. Then we walked to the park where we talked about getting married. And… yeah." Bex finished with a dreamy look on her face.

The other three girls were hanging on to her every word, and a little weirded out because this was the first time that they've ever seen Bex act so giddy, and elated, and… plain girly.

"That's so cute!" Cammie, Liz, and Macey all exclaimed together.

"Thank you, you guys! By the way, Grant said that his best man was probably gonna be Zach, and the other groomsmen were gonna be Preston and Jonas. You guys will meet when we all go over wedding plans together." We nodded, Bex told us about how Grant talked about his best friends sometimes. We don't know them that well, because we don't really do group dates with Bex and Grant. No one likes to watch them make out.

"Well, let's see the ring!" Macey grabbed Bex's left hand, and we all scooted for closer for a look at her it; it was a gold band with a large princess cut diamond in the middle and two smaller sapphires on the sides. It was bold, beautiful, and statement making. Totally Bex.

We all oohed and ahhed over it, and Bex beamed, "Thank you, Grant really put thought into picking it out."

"Dang, looks like it costs thirty-thousand dollars." Macey exclaimed.

"Thanks, I guess. Let's talk more about this tomorrow, because I'm really tired, and it's almost half past midnight. Even though I probably won't be able to sleep tonight." Bex yawned, "And sorry for waking you guys."

"Are you kidding? If you didn't wake us up to tell us this, when we found out, we would've murdered you." Macey said, as she, Liz, and Bex climbed off Cammie's bed, "Right guys?" Cammie and Liz nodded.

"Good night." Everyone chorused as Macey and Liz left to their bedroom, and Bex skipped to the bathroom, where she began her preparations for the night herself.

As the excitement of the news somewhat died down, Cammie's mind was allowed to drift to the last time that she had been at a wedding:

As the band reached the climax of the song, Cammie stepped through the threshold, keeping eyes on the ground for the first couple of seconds. She focused on the small, simple detailing of her gorgeous white dress and the bouquet of beautiful roses she held in her hand. As she slowly glanced up, she saw her best friends ahead of her, already lined up and watching her with happy smiles. She looked to the right of her, and saw all her relatives and friends seated, dressed to the nines, carefully watching her, the girl of the day. Finally, she locked eyes with the man at the end of the aisle; her eyes shined, and her smile lit up. She reached the end of the walk, and let go of her dad's best friend's hand. She turned to face the man, and paid no attention to the priest's words next to her. As the priest asked for any last objections to this union-

Cammie shot up quickly before her thoughts could get too far into that dreadful story, that as much as she wished it did, did not have a happy ending. She vowed to never think or speak of that day again, but she knew that she probably will due to the fact that her best friend was getting married. Cammie wanted to be there for Bex, even if it means living through a Déjà vu of the worst day of her life.

She shook her head to clear such thoughts before lying back down again, and slowly drifted to sleep.

And… Cut! Thanks for reading! I know there wasn't a lot of Zammie in this, but it's only the first chapter, and I just wanted to introduce the storyline smoothly, and not rushed. It'll move along as it gets more into the story.

Anyway, about updates; I'm really new to this whole updating thing; like I said, this is my first story with multiple chapters and not just a one shot. And how much I write depends on my mood, schedule, inspiration, and motivation. But I promise to update as soon as possible! And if I don't update for a long time, remind me!

Please review, and let me know if I should continue with this. I'm not EVER going to be one of those authors that require a certain amount of reviews before I update, but it would be really nice to get feedback… hint hint. ;)

Until next time!
