Before all, I'd like to explain a bit. This story is a sequel to my version of "Legally Blonde", but I thought we're all so tired of the musical and the movie, so I just uploaded the sequel. This all takes place AFTER Elle graduated from Harvard and Elle and Emmett have been dating.
I don't own Legally Blonde, or the characters, and maybe some quotes I "accidentally" threw in. Hope you all enjoy....oh, but I DO own the plot of this story :D
I hope you all review too! I'd like to know what you think of my idea plot and story :D

Chapter 1
"Elle, pass the drinks!" Serena exclaimed, laughing.
"Will do!" Elle said, giving Serena a Pepsi.
"Thanks, honey! You're the best!" Serena exclaimed, and rejoined in her usual conversation.
This was a week before Elle would graduate from Harvard. It was her birthday party, of course. She was turning twenty-four, and was complaining that she was way too old, even though everyone else told her otherwise. She and Emmett have been dating for the past two years. Vivian and Elle did become best friends as Elle had predicted. And Warner still had no job offer, or girlfriend, though he was still fond of Elle.
As Elle grabbed a bottle of water, she felt a pair of arms from behind wrap around her. She turned her head and laughed. "Emmett! You came!" she giggled.
Emmett kissed her on the cheek. "Of course I did! I wouldn't miss my Little Miss Woods comma Elle's twenty-fourth birthday!" Emmett exclaimed, his arms still wrapped around her. Elle let the bottle drop of from her hand.
Elle groaned. "Please don't say the number. It's been haunting me this past year."
"Don't say that. You're still young to me. You always will be," Emmett reassured her.
Elle turned to him, taking his hands into hers. "Emmett, please. I'm twenty-four, and you're twenty-six. And all that leads to the conclusion that I'm old!" she cried out.
Emmett laughed again. "No, you're not, Elle. See, that's one reason why I love you so much," Emmett said, shaking his head. "You always act young!"
Elle stuck out her lower lip, and pouted. "I'd love you more if you agree with me," she said, making a face.
"Alright..." Emmett sighed. "My darling Elle is getting old..."
That's when Elle put her hands on her hips. "Hey! You're supposed to keep saying that I'm young!"
"Oh, so that's your plan!" Emmett exclaimed.
"Yes, so what?" Elle demanded.
"Aw, come on, Elle. I know you want to smile. You always do..." Emmett pointed out, a smile playing on his lips.
When Elle's only response was a pout, Emmett smiled slyly, then began tickling her. Elle's eyes widened and started to shriek, but he didn't stop. Elle tried to escape his grasp, but he held on tighter, and then stopped tickling. He held on to her her from behind and spun her around, while she continued laughing.
"Elle, you two are the cutest couple ever!" Margot's squeaky voice said from behind them.
The two turned around, and saw most of the Delta Nu girls standing there with big smiled on their faces. Serena was in the front of the group, her arms crossed, but her face was positioned as to say, 'awww'.
"Told you, Margot," another voice said from among the group.
Elle perked up when she heard the voice. She'd know it anywhere! As she was looking over the group, need noticed a girl that wasn't "pink" in Elle's way. She knew only one person like that.
The girl stepped forward. "Vivian!" Elle shrieked.
"Do you really think I was going to stay in Boston while you girls were partying in Los Angeles?" Vivian asked with a smile.
Elle laughed and ran to hug her best friend. The blonde was pretty short compared to the brunette, but Elle didn't care one bit. The warm embrace made Elle realize how much she missed Vivian, even though they saw each other three weeks before.
"My goodness, Viv! When did you get here?" Elle asked as she let go.
Vivian crossed her arms and smiled. "Do you think I'd let anything happen to your boyfriend?"
"Do you think you could stop answering in questions?" Elle asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Hmm....do you think I can?" Vivian asked and everyone started laughing.
"As a matter of fact, Elle, Vivian came along with me because we both had the same idea at the same time. It was really weird. But...oh well. We're here now!" Emmett cried out.
"I'm so, extremely glad that you are! I missed you two so very much!" Elle exclaimed and hugged both Emmett and Vivian once again.
"I know, Elle, I missed you so very much also!" Vivian said in a higher pitch than normal. Elle could tell she was really excited to she her too.
"Delta Nu group hug!" Pilar called out suddenly.
All the girls gathered around, and hugged as many people as they could at one time. Elle and Vivian joined, laughing and shrieking. Many of the girls, including Elle just jumped on each other, and embraced. When they finished the Delta Nu group hug, Elle began laughing at Emmett's strange expression. Then, she jumped on him and hugged him as the girls followed what Elle was doing, and gave everyone another Delta Nu groups hug, but this time with Emmett and Elle in the middle.
"Kiss! Kiss!" Serena exclaimed, and others soon joined in.
Finally, as the noise got louder, Elle held up one hand. "Alright!" she exclaimed. Then she crossed her arms behind her back, and just leaned in. Standing on tiptoe, she touched her lips against his. As soon as she did, she pulled him closer to her, and gave him a more passionate kiss. As chorus of 'awwws' was heard, and in mid-kiss, they both began laughing, and pulled away. Soon, everyone joined in to laugh.
"Oh boy. This is why I love you guys so much. I missed my Delta Nu sisters so much! I can't believe I haven't seen you guys since I first went to Harvard," Elle said, smiling. "Let's all just sit on the blankets and talk, alright? We have a lot all of us should catch up to."
As soon as everyone was settled on the ground, Pilar began talking. "Seriously, honey, we haven't seen you since Harvard. And now you graduated!"
"How cool is that?" Leilani asked.
"It's perfect! And now I actually have a boyfriend who loves me for who I am. Not for my blondeness, or hotness, or...whatever it's called. My life is just perfect right now!" Elle shrieked in her valley-girl voice.
"Girl, you must be so lucky to have him as your guyfriend," Margot said, squeaking again.
Elle nodded, but then gasped. "Oh! My gosh! I never introduced him to you! I totally forgot that you don't know him!" Elle got up, and stood behind Emmett, putting her hands on his shoulders. "Girls, this is my official boyfriend...Emmett Forrest. He was my first best friend first year at Harvard, and helped me study. Even though we secretly liked each other a lot, we never showed it....well, we did, finally. Anyways, I think you girls could just ask him to tell about himself. There's nothing more to hear from me except what you've heard on the phone!" Elle exclaimed, then patted Emmett's shoulders. She sat back down next to him.
Another chorus of 'hi's were heard, and Emmett just smiled. The girls made eye contact with Emmett, and it seemed to Elle that he nodded slightly. "Elle, I'm not sure I could ever get used to being the only guy around like a million girls," Emmett said, teasingly.
"Well, get used to it. Warner did. He didn't die, did he? You won't either. Besides, you know you like it..." Elle teased back.
Serena laughed, and adjusted something under her blanket. "Elle, honey, while we're still in the mood, I say you open some presents!" she cried out.
Elle smiled. "Sure! You're never too old for presents...right Em?"
"Elle, you're never too old. Just stop right there!" he laughed.
Margot first gave Elle her present. When Elle opened it, she gasped. "You didn't!"
"I did!" Margot said.
"No. Way!" Elle exclaimed. Then she lifted out the pink evening gown from Fendi. Then Elle stood up, and the girls crowded around her as Elle put it over her, to see how it would look. "I love it, Margot! Thank you!"
"Elle, you're going to love mine!" Pilar exclaimed, and gave Elle a bag.
When Elle looked inside, her mouth dropped. "Are these...?"
"The issues for Elle magazine for the next year. Don't ask how I got them. My lips are sealed," Pilar said, but smiled.
Serena nodded towards the girls and they all stood up. Serena held something behind her back, and shushed the girls. Then she handed Elle her present. "Elle, this is from all of us. And I really mean all," Serena said, nodding towards Vivian and Emmett.
Elle was confused when she first saw what it was. But....it was upside-down, and turned it the right way. Suddenly, Elle's expression became a shocked one, and she gasped as she read aloud,"Good luck, Emmett and Elle forever." Then she opened it, and there were the signatures and little messages from all her friends. Everyone became extremely quiet as Elle scanned through the messages. Suddenly, a specific message caught her eye. It was wrapped in a heart, and Elle immediately knew it was from Emmett.
"Just look at me, and say "yes"," she read, then lifted her head from the big card as she understood what was going on.
Elle turned her head slowly, and then gasped when she saw Emmett kneeling to her ground. He pulled out a ring, and gave Elle the best and warmest smile he could ever give. "Elle Woods...will you marry me?" he asked, hopefully.
Elle's jaw dropped a little, and she tried breathing normally. Not ever had she thought of this moment. "But...Emmett....are you sure? I mean, neither of us know how to cook!" Elle said, with a little smile. Everyone laughed, but Elle remembered their talk about not knowing how to cook.
"That doesn't matter. I still love you," Emmett said. "Will you marry me, Elle?" he repeated.
Elle, still shocked, looked over at her sorority girls. They nodded, smiled, and mouthed "yeah" to her. Elle looked at the ground once more, then smiled. She knew the answer.
Turning to Emmett again, she whispered, "Yes." Then she screamed it. "Yes!" Elle was overjoyed with this question, and could still hardly believe it until Emmett slipped the engagement ring on Elle's fourth finger and kissed her hand.
For a long moment, Elle stared at the ring. She felt as if there was tension in the air, as if the girls were holding their breaths. She knew what they were waiting for. She laughed and then wrapped her arms around Emmett's neck, kissing him. Emmett picked her up, bridal way, but his lips always touching hers. She smiled in the kiss and then pulled back again. Elle put both of her hands on both of his cheeks. "I wouldn't ever want to be with anyone else besides you, Emmett," she said, and then lunged and kissed him again.
Another chorus of 'awwww's was heard and they both began laughing again. Soon, everyone joined in. Elle turned her head to them, her blonde hair whipping Emmett in the face.
"You guys have to stop doing that! Or else we're never going to finish our kiss!" Elle exclaimed, and was still laughing.
"Hey, but then I could kiss you how many times I want," Emmett said, raising an eyebrow, but smiling.
Elle held on to Emmet. "Not if I kiss you first!" she said and let her lips touch his once again.
She never wanted that day to end. Elle felt as if her twenty-fourth birthday was the best birthday of her entire life. Sure, she was getting older, but she was still young enough to get married to her true love...Emmett. Elle's and Emmett's love to one another was a fiery and a passionate one. They always remained true, and still had enough love to give.
Emmett never felt so happy and of course...so in love. He knew he would love Elle until the end. He loved her from the beginning too, but maybe he was in love with her appearance. He still didn't know what happened when they first met, but maybe it was meant for it to happen. He did succeed in two things all the time he knew Elle. One, he proved to her that she could be serious and smart, as opposed to just being blonde and dumb. And two, he would someday have her as his wife. Ecstacy and pride was what Emmett was feeling then.
Of course, to Elle, her fiance' would always mean to her more than Warner ever did. She couldn't believe that what she wanted at Harvard was right in front of her. She wasn't seeking Warner's love, but a love which sees past her blonde appearance. A never-ending love that she'd be needing always. Emmett...
Emmett put Elle back on the ground. Then she turned to her girls and smiled, putting her hands on her hips. "You girls knew he would propose all along, didn't you!" Elle demanded.
"Of course we did, sweetie! Why else do you think he begged us to throw you this awesome party? Not that wouldn't have thrown it from the beginning..." Serena corrected herself.
"Oh, but the presents were real, not planned," Margot said quickly.
"And the magazines? I had that idea in my head for a long while, girl!" Pilar cried out.
"And you haven't even opened our presents yet...but maybe you should open them after the wedding..." Leilani's voice trailed, but the Delta Nu girls smiled.
"You got me wedding gifts? How sweet of you!" Elle exclaimed, then hugged as many as she could. "You know, I still can't believe you never told me about Emmett's proposal. You tell me everything!"
"Everything except marriage proposals! Duh!" Serena said, as if it was obvious.
"So, when's the wedding?" Margot asked, excitedly.
"Margot! You're not supposed to ask that!" Vivian exclaimed, and gave Elle an apologetic look.
But Emmett and Elle looked at each other and then slowly smiled. Emmett nodded, and Elle cleared her throat. "The wedding will be in two weeks. We really want to hurry it up. Vivian, I want you to be our maid of honor, and all the Delta Nu to be my bridesmaids!" Elle squealed.
"Darling, where are we going to find so many guys to accompany them?" Emmett asked curiously.
"Forget the boys! Or...maybe Warner could come. But they could just be my bridesmaids alone. It won't kill them, will it, girls?" Elle asked.
"No!" was heard among the group.
Elle put her hands on her hips. "See?"
Emmett laughed. "Elle, those girls are so attached to you that they're going to be with you till you die! I'm not kidding!" he exclaimed.
"Oh, of course we'll always be with her! She's our Delta Nu president!" Pilar said, smiling.
"Girls, I'm not your president anymore! I'll never really be around to tell you what to do," Elle said, shaking her head.
"Who cares? You'll always be our president, no matter what," Serena said, nodding.
"Alright then. But you'll need someone to tell you what to do when I'm not here," Elle said, looking around. "I'm appointing Serena as the president for when I'm gone. All you you girls have to listen to what she says. She has the most experience and finiteness in her. And not only that. I also see her a great leader. I mean, she always leads, doesn't she?"
"Thanks, Elle. You are such a sweetie. We all love you so much!" Serena exclaimed, and blew Elle a kiss.
"And I love you guys," Elle said wistfully. She faced Emmett. "Are you sure we can't move here? I'll miss them too much," Elle begged.
"I wish we could, Elle," Emmett said and then saw Elle's face fall, and she looked sad. "But hey! I barely proposed to you. The wedding's in two weeks. We're going to have to plan this really quickly. We'll figure something out. But you know what I was thinking?"
Elle lifted her head and looked at Emmett curiously. "What?"
"We spend summers and November and April right here in Los Angeles. The rest of the time we live in a little house in Boston. Or maybe somewhere else, if you'd like," Emmett said, shrugging.
Elle's eyes lit up and a big smile covered her face. "Emmett, that's perfect!" She gave him a hug, and then kissed his cheek. Again, Elle turned around to the girls, and folded her hands. "Girls, as you've heard, it might happen. Just don't be too sad if we don't come, alright? I'm just really confused and all, but we'll figure something out in a matter of two weeks. Emmett, couldn't you have proposed earlier?" she demanded.
"I'm sorry, but it's not my fault birthdays come only once a year!" he exclaimed, smiling. "I'm sure you don't want to have three birthdays a year, Elle."
Elle then became horrified at the thought. "You're right. I could be sixty now instead of...twenty-four." She shuddered, and everyone laughed. "Ok, this is so not funny! You're laughing because you're all still under twenty-four, but wait till you get there. Well, Serena might know, she's twenty-three, but the rest don't. I'm warning you: you're going to wish you were younger!"
"No Elle, that's just happening in your head!" Margot laughed.
Elle crossed her arms over her chest. "You know what? Serena, you take charge. I want to see you in action. Pretend I'm a random girl in Delta Nu, alright?" Elle asked, trying to change to subject.
Serena shook her head. "Nu-uh."
"And why not?" Elle demanded, though she was trying hard not to smile.
Leilani motioned for something. Elle was curious, but gasped when she saw Bruiser running towards her. "Bruiser!" she exclaimed, and picked him up. "What's this in your mouth?" Elle took the piece of paper from Bruiser's mouth, then read aloud. "After you get married, there'll be a surprise waiting for you in your new office in Boston. Oh, and by the way, there's something in the envelope. We decided that you and your fiance' would need some time discussing things. Lots of Luv, Delta Nu Sorority Girls," Elle read. She looked up from the paper as she tried keeping in her tears.
"Oh, honey, what's wrong?" Pilar asked worriedly. "You don't want what we gave you?"
Elle sniffed. "No. I love it, even though I don't know what it is. It's just...you guys are the best friends anyone could ever have. I'd never want anyone else to be my friends. How am I going to spend so much time away from you girls?" she asked.
Vivian stepped forward and hugged her and she continued crying softly, but with tears of both sorrow and joy. "Elle, it's not forever. You'll see them again. Besides, you still have your Boston best friends, don't you?" she asked.
Elle lifted her head and looked at Vivian, then tried to smile. "I should be thankful I have a wonderful friend on whom I could rely on twenty-four seven and a wonderful fiance' who will always love me."
"You're completely right, sweetie. You have us west-coast, and them east-coast. Maybe one day we could let Vivian become a Delta Nu!" Margot exclaimed.
Vivian made a face. "I'll just stick to Law, thank you very much," she said.
Elle laughed. "And I should be thankful that I have everything I'd ever dreamed of. And more! I got everything I'd wanted, and even things I hadn't expected. I now have everything, and no one will take it away from me. And...I proved two things. One, that I'm not some dumb blonde girl who's just really pretty, but a girl who is a smart, intelligent lawyer. And two, I proved everyone deserves a second chance. The second chance might be even better than the first. And I should know. I've been there," Elle said, as if teaching, and everyone laughed again.
That was a day Elle knew she'd never forget. How could she? Emmett proposed to her, her best friends showed her they care about her more than anyone else, and she turned twenty-four. What more could a blonde, pretty, and intelligent girl want?
