Summary:

It was three o'clock in the morning and Courtney was sleeping peacefully in her huge king-sized bed. The phone rang, making her shoot up in her bed. She picked up the phone and answered it before it woke up her dogs.

"Hello?" she said sleepily. "Courtney! It's me Bridgette!" Bridgette said on the other end.

"Bridge, you do know that it's three in the morning right?"

"Oh, sorry. I wasn't paying attention to the time."

"Wait, you weren't asleep?" Courtney asked bewildered.

"Courtney! That's not the point!"

"Okay. What were you going to tell me?"

"Me and Geoff are getting married! He proposed 3 hours ago and I couldn't call because the storm blew the power out."

"I'm not even gonna ask why you guys were up that late. But I'm happy for you!" Courtney squealed into the phone.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Can the wedding be in your garden? I mean, it's like the prettiest garden I've ever seen! I also need somewhere for the guest to stay…." Bridgette said.

"Say no more Bridgette. Just think of it as my way of saying congratulations." Courtney said smiling.

"Thank you! Your the best best friend ever! I have to start calling the guest! BYE!" Bridgette hung up. Courtney rolled her eyes and smiled again at her best friend, who could be as energetic as Izzy sometimes.

Courtney put the phone on the receiver and laid her head back down on her pillow.

Chapter 1

3 months later

I woke up at 11AM. Crap. Bridgette said the guests were coming at 12! I quickly jumped out of my bed and checked my PDA for the temperature. It's gonna be 98 degrees! Crap, time for emergency summer clothing (which I hate wearing because it shows a lot of skin). I took shower and then threw on my white string bikini and put some daisy dukes over the bikini bottoms. I also slipped on some whit flip flops, put my hair in a bun and put on some white sunglasses. I woke up my doberman pinschers, Max and Spike, and led them outside to my backyard so they could play for a while. My backyard is HUGE. I was surprised that the house came with 150 acres of land. Luckily, the house has a fence so my dogs will stay on the property. 25% of the land is my tulip garden, which I put a lot of hard work into. Another 25% is a very beautiful view of a lake from a mountain, that's where I go to relax. The other half is the backyard, front yard and the house. I either swim in the lake or go to the pool that is in the backyard. The house covers 40 acres.

I came back inside after a while and the doorbell rang. I answered it and got attacked by the visitor. "HI COURTNEY!" The guest said. "Izzy?" I managed to choke out. "Hi. Where's Max!" She asked immediately.

"Umm…outside?"

"OKAY!" Izzy got off of me and ran down the long hallway. I shrugged and turned to the door. Noah and Owen were standing in the doorway, their mouths hitting the floor. "Nice house." Noah finally said. Everyone else got here, including Geoff and Bridgette, so I was about to shut the door. But Bridgette grabbed my arm. "Wait, we're missing two people!" She said. I rose my eyebrow.

"Who could they be? I mean-" I was interrupted the sound of someone clearing their voice. I turned to see my worst nightmare.

Duncan and Gwen.
