Chapter 4: The Perfect Gown

That went very well. A little too well, they were being good. But maybe they grew up, I did after all. It's weird, they were all so open, so willing to bring him into their lives. But the one that matters, the person who I really need to know is alright with this, he wasn't even here.

"Alright," Lizzie said sitting down, next to Connie and Julie as the party had died down. "Now tomorrow we have final fittings for the bridesmaid dresses and of course Connie's wedding gown."

"Right," Julie smiled, "and then we have Duck brunch." Connie nodded. She wasn't looking forward to tomorrow. The last time she had seen Guy she had kissed him good bye, with every intention of kissing him hello again. It was tearing her up inside to think of what would happen.

"Julie," Adam smiled, butting in, "Where are you staying?"

"At the Marriott Marquis." She laughed. "My dad had some extra Marriott Points from work, so I got to upgrade."

"I'm in Times too," He looked at her. "Wanna share a cab?"

"Yeah, that sounds great." Julie said. "Let's go. Bye Connie, Liz, see you tomorrow morning." She grabbed her coat and walked out the door with Adam. She looked back over her shoulder and winked, Connie raised her eye brows.

"Well, it seems we won't have any best man maid of honor issues." Adelle laughed sitting down.

"Well, ladies, I will leave you." Alex said.

"Oh, you're coming to brunch tomorrow right?" Connie said as she stood up and kissed him good bye. "I want you to meet Guy!"

"Right, your best friend from back home!" Alex smiled. "Yes, I will come to brunch. I need to catch up with Adam anyway."

"Great see you then." She smiled and kissed him again. After he had left.

"Your best friend from back home?" Adelle said, skeptically. "Last I checked Guy was not your best friend from back home, he was your ex boyfriend."

"Adelle, look, I knew that Alex would be uncomfortable with the idea of having Guy at the wedding if he knew the truth." Connie explained. "Besides, me and Guy are ancient history."

"Do you remember when you first moved to New York Connie?" Adelle said, "You and me, sharing that tiny apartment, you sitting in the bathroom on the phone with him for hours? Any of this ring a bell."

"It was a long time ago." Connie said. "Look, maybe later on I'll tell Alex about me and Guy, but for right now leave it."

"Fine." Adelle said throwing her hands up. "So what is the deal with that yummy Dean Portman?"

"Nice subject change Adelle." Connie said laughing.

Everything is going to be fine, it's just fine.

"Do you want me to walk you up to your room." Adam said as the cab stopped in Times Square.

"I'd like that," Julie said shyly. "So, how's Anaheim? Our namesakes had a decent season."

"They're a good team." Adam nodded. "Not quite as good as the originals, but they try." They chatted about hockey and everything that had been going on in their lives, until they reached Julie's room.

"This is me," She said, pointing towards the door.

"I've missed you, Jules," He said as they stopped.

"I've missed you too." She said. He leaned in but she moved her head. "Adam, I can't. We've talked about this."

"Right." He said. "See you tomorrow."

"Bye." She said, unlocking the door and walking into the room. As soon as she got in she walked over to the window and looked out onto New York. "God, what is wrong with me?"

The next morning, Julie met up with Connie, Lizzie and Adelle to have fittings for the bridesmaid's dresses. She was grateful that although Connie had chosen the dreaded pink color she had stayed away from anything overly puffy and covered in chiffon. The dresses were simple, strapless separated bodices with an A-Line skirt. Julie spun around in hers.

"Oh wow Julie!" Adelle said. "That color really is great for you."

"Ugh," Julie sighed "I hate pink. Either Connie forgot that or she did this just to torture me." Suddenly Connie came out in her wedding dress. It was a gorgeous full circle skirt with a long train behind it. "Wow, oh Connie you look so beautiful!"

"Oh I soo knew this was the right choice!" Lizzie squealed. "It's fabulous." Adelle just started crying.

"I remember when you first came here and you thought it was OK to wear your old jerseys out to the bar!" She dabbed her eyes. "And now you're wearing a Vera Wang wedding gown."

"I'm getting married!" Connie squealed, looking at herself in the mirror. "I'm getting married!"

"So what's the deal with the fiancé?" Guy asked Charlie as he walked to the small pub where they would be having brunch.

"He's a pretty good guy." Charlie said. "Hates hockey though. Don't know how that'll work. He seems to really love her though."

"And how is she with him?" Guy said, that was more his concern.

"Well, it was hard to tell last night," Charlie shrugged, "she was really nervous. But I think they're really happy. I'm sorry man."

"At least she's happy." He sighed. As they walked in he saw her. It had been nearly three years but it seemed like only a day. "Charlie, I can't do this."

"Come on man." Charlie said. "It means a lot to her."

"Guy!" Connie said, standing up and going over to give him a hug, the familiar twinkle in her brown eyes. "It's so good to see you."

"It's good to see you too." He smiled.

"Come on, meet Alex." She said taking his hand. "Alex, this is Guy."

"Nice to meet you man." Alex offered out his hand. Guy took it.

"Nice to meet you too." He said, trying to figure out why this guy was so happy to see him.

"Look, I want you to know I'm gonna do my best to take care of her." He was smiling. Why was he smiling? "I mean, as Connie's best friend, you must be worried about her."

"Her best friend?" Guy said, looking around at the other Ducks in the room. They all shrugged and then suddenly he got an idea. Connie gave him a pleading look. "Oh, yeah, that's me and Connie. Best Buds till the end."

"That's right," Charlie said, realizing what his friend was doing. "I mean, they're practically like brother and sister! Right Connie?"

"Yeah." She said, slightly relieved. "Exactly!"
