The Wedding

Elliot's POV

I sat in our private plane as we passed over Lake Winnetka. Yep, you heard me, Lake Winnetka. It's been five years since I've last seen this place. The last time . . . well, you probably know the story. If not, here's the short version. I was in 8th grade and my family had decided to come down for the annual Labor Day cup. It just so happened that my dad's old rival, Tom Baker, had decided to come as well, Him and his 12 kids. I'm not joking; he has twelve, which makes our 8 look pretty good. Anyway, one night, the clubhouse was putting on a clambake and we all had to go. I remember it perfectly.

Flashback:

Elliot got out of the car along with his 7 other siblings.

"Remember kids, we're Murtaughs." Of course, Elliot's dad always said that whenever we went out. It's basically means that we should not do anything to embarrass him or he will make us pay for it tenfold. Elliot just shrugged his shoulders and got out his helmet and skateboard. Hopefully there will be someone actually cool to talk too he thought. Putting down his skateboard, Elliot hoped on started cruising down the rickety stone path.

Pretty soon, he saw three other kids about his age up near the doors to the clubhouse, he couldn't see them too clearly, but could defiantly see their skateboards as well. Elliot quickly shot by the rest of the guest in order to meet them. He was surprised to recognize one of them. The middle one was Jake Baker. He had met him a couple times at some skating competitions. He knew Jake to be a cool guy. Not considering his companions, Elliot skated over to him.

"Jake Baker?" He asked, double checking his suspicions. Jake obviously looked confused at the newcomer.

"Elliot? Elliot Murtaugh?" Recognition crossed Jake's face as Elliot introduced himself.

"Dude, no way, it's Elliot Murtaugh!" Jake exclaimed, obviously talking to the other two. That was when Elliot had first noticed her. Her Brown hair was in low pigtails and her cheeks were flushed from skating. She smiled at Elliot. Oh, God her Smile. It was the most amazing things he had ever seen.

"Hey." Her voice was like nothing he'd ever heard. Unable to conceive any thought, he simple replied with: "Hey." Her cheeks turned redder than before, but he wasn't sure why. Jake brought his attention back on him and, apparently it was his brother, Mike. Throughout the night, he hanged with these three, but was mainly interested in Sarah. That was her name. Sarah Baker.

Flashback Over

Sarah was the first girl I had ever had a crush on. She was smart, funny, athletic, and really, really beautiful. I smiled as I recalled when I first asked her out.

Flashback:

Elliot kayaked over to the Baker's dock, looking for Sarah. Luckily, he saw her on the front porch and waved at her to come down. He saw her smile as she started to run. No matter how much she did it, he never got over how beautiful her smile was.

"Hey Elliot!" She called as she reached the dock, "What's up?"

"Hey Sarah. Ummmm, well, I was just wondering . . ." All thoughts of what I was going to say and all the times I had practiced this in the mirror flew out of my mind.

"Yeah?" She blushed red and I couldn't help but notice that it made her look even cuter.

"I – I was wondering if you, uh, wanted to go out … with, uh, me?" I finally stammered out. She smiled and replied, "Sure, I'd like that." I smiled in relief.

"Great, my dad said he would drive, so, hopefully tonight would work?" I asked, hoping for another yes.

"Yeah, perfect." If possible, or maybe it was just my imagination, her smile grew even more.

"'K, See ya then." Then, on a sudden impulse, I leaned in and kissed her cheek. Embarrassed I quickly got back in the kayak and paddled away, but not before turning back to see her ask her dad if it was okay, and him saying yes.

Flashback over

We went out that night, but it was ruined by my dad and her father, both of whom was spying on us. Life went on as normal for the next couple weeks, excluding the birth of Nora, Sarah's older sister's, baby and the whole cup fiasco, Sarah and I went out on more dates and became really close. But when it was time to leave, we had tried to stay in touch but eventual decided it was better if we just stopped. I didn't know about Sarah, but that was my first taste of heartbreak, and my worst.

I was drawn out of my memories as our plane landed and he got out. We had we come back all these years you might ask? Anne, my older sister, was getting married. To Charlie Baker, Sarah's older brother. They had been dating for 4 years and he finally had asked her to marry him. Charlie had become very successful by creating a new type of engine for cars and now owned his own company. Anne was a successful artist and had many galleries all over the world. They were, in a sense, the perfect couple.

We made our way to the club house where the two love birds were to get married the next day. I saw Anne talking to what looked like a cook. When we walked through the door, her head snapped up and a smile spread across her face. She excused herself from the cook and swiftly walked over to us, giving each of us a hug.

"I'm so happy you were able to make it!" She exclaimed.

"We wouldn't miss this for the world," My step-mom, Sarina, said. Yes, my dad stayed with Sarina. It seems he has finally found someone he truly loves.

"Ok, well," Anne began, "we have pretty much everything set. It's just going to be a couple of close friends, and of course, both families. Becky has already agreed to be my Maid of Honor. Henry is going to be Charlie's Best Man. Now the rest of the Bridesmaids are Lisa, Robin, Lorraine and Sarah. We decided to just have two girls and two guys from each family. The other Groomsmen Daniel, Elliot, Jake, and Mark. Sorry Calvin, but you have already been a groomsman 4 times. Now, when it's time, Charlie and Henry will already be at the altar. The two flower girls, Lia and Lauren, will come down first. Then it'll be Lisa and Mark, then Robin and Jake, Sarah and Elliot, and last will be Daniel and Loraine. Then I will come down with Daddy of course and I'll be having Kim and Jessica hold my dress. Any questions?" None of us were surprised. Anne had always been the efficient type.

My mind was reeling. I had to go down the aisle; with Sarah; the girl I haven't seen in 5 years; my first crush; as my partner. Oh boy.

Sarah's POV

Please, oh please, do not let them put me in pink, I thought as I got out of my red convertible in front of the clubhouse. I had been so honored and excited to accept the position of one of the bridesmaid, I forgot the fact that they could put me in the color pink. It's not that I hate that color, but I had sort of stopped wearing it after I broke up with Elliot. I sighed as I remembered the first boy I had gone out with. I know he was going to be here, unless by some twist of fate he was delayed and decided not to come at all. Well, a girl can wish.

I had become more of "girl" as my family called after we came back from Winnetka. I began dressing more girly and to fit my body type, well once I actually grew a body, and believe me, I did. My brother Jake would tease me constantly about being the most sought after girl in school.

"Dude," he once told me, "You skateboard, you bike, you play football, and, as much as it creeps me out to say this considering I'm your brother, you have a pretty awesome body. I'm telling you sis, you're every guy at our school's wet dream." We both shared a shudder after that.

But now I am back from NYU, to see my brother get married. I saw Annie up ahead and ran towards her, hoping to find out where I need to go.

"Anne!" I yelled. Her head whipped around and she started towards me.

"Sarah!" We hugged and she continued, "I'm glad you got here, everyone else is already here." She explained to me about the bridesmaid and groomsmen and who goes with whom. I found out that my partner was Elliot, and he was already here. So much for wishing.

Elliots POV

I stood in the hall with my dad, Daniel, Mark and Jake. We were waiting on the girls. I was so unbelievably nervous to see Sarah again I barely slept the night before. I saw Lia and Lauren race past me, adorable in their little yellow flower girl dresses. I turned my head when I saw Jake's and Mark's eyes go wide at my sister, Lisa and Robin coming down the stairs. They were very pretty in their light blue dresses. They both blushed simultaneously as Mark and Jake walked up to them, kissing their hands. I raised my eyebrow at my, usually very conservative sister, earning me a double glare. I glanced at Daniel, but he was preoccupied with looking at Lorraine, who had just come down the stairs as well, dressed like both Robin and Lisa.

I was smiling at them when I felt a tap on my shoulder; I moved to face at Jake, who in return nodded to the stairs once again. I turned around again, and everything stopped. At the top, was Sarah Baker. But not like I had known her. Her honey brown hair was down and in light ringlets throughout. Her makeup was natural and she had little accessories. Her dress was different than the other bridesmaids though. Like the others, it was light blue and strapless, but with Sarah, she had light rhinestones that would catch the light when she moved at the bottom of the dress and had diamonds on her silver shoes unlike the plain ones the other girls wore.

(. it's this but with Sarah, there are rhinestones at the bottom)

She smiled shyly and made her way down to where I stood.

"Hi Elliot," she whispered. Her voice was even sweeter than I remembered.

"Hey Sarah." My voice was weak with the shock of seeing her again. Before either of us could say another word, we heard the music start. Showtime!

Yay, first chapter, will post soon. Next chapt: Sarah sings.
