ALL OF THE PRAISE HANDS! ALL OF THEM! Seriously a great episode. Tremendous performance by Emily Osment too. But I called it from the promo that THE scene was with those outfits Jabi was wearing. But goodness gracious I didn't see the Tegan & Sara song meaning so much. SO MUCH. Ok now that I've brought you back to the happy place, this picks up immediately. Enjoy!
After their kiss filled embrace, Josh and Gabi took their seats. Josh had his arm around Gabi intent on never letting go. They sat there just enjoying the moment.
"Ok. Tickets everybody!" The train employee shouted.
"Uh Josh, Sofia had the tickets. And she didn't make it back on the train. What do we do?" Gabi nervously whispered.
Josh smiled and kissed her forehead before standing up to greet the ticket taker. "Hi. Two going to Aspen today." He pulled two tickets out of his pocket and handed them off before sitting back down.
Gabi was confused. She didn't think Josh was a magician but she didn't know how he pulled that off. "Ok. What just happened?"
"Well...I grabbed my phone from Elliot and was going to go on a run. I hit play and our song came on. I instantly remembered everything. I called Sofia and asked where you were and she told me. She also said to hurry! So I did. I met her on the platform after she got her drinks and told her my plan. I took the tickets and she got her double daiquiris. And here we are." Josh smiled.
"Well, Aspen it is." Gabi leaned into him, content with the long journey ahead to Colorado with Josh.

Upon arrival, Gabi got her large carry-all bag she packed for the weekend. "Uh Josh, did you pack anything? It might be cold and snowy." Gabi asked.
"I didn't have time. But I do have my wallet and that may do the trick." Josh smirked.
"Okay. Let's go. Uncle Chris said he would pick us up. He's probably already here." Gabi surmised.
Waiting for them outside the train station was a beaming Uncle Chris and his fiancé Adam. "Hello Gabi, Josh. Sofia called me a few minutes ago. It's about time you two!" Uncle Chris gave each of them a hug. "Thanks for coming this weekend. You are the only family I could invite and it means the world to me that you could make it!"
"I wouldn't miss this for the world! I'm happy to be here." Gabi replied.
"Well, shall we?" Chris asked.
"We shall!" Josh chimed.
Off they went to the hotel. Chris explained the ceremony would be there in the garden in a couple of days and the outdoor reception at an open meadow in the mountains.
"Ok guys. We will see you tomorrow night at the rehearsal dinner?" Chris wondered.
"Absolutely. Thanks for the ride here. It's great to see you again. Looking forward to all of the festivities." Josh replied as he shook their hands.
AN: I have to end this chapter here. But do not fret! I am still at it! Surprises await!
