Chapter 4: Why We're Doing This
"Portman," Fulton ran over, seeing his best friend for the first time in months. "Maya?"
"Hi Fulton!" She smiled and hugged him, while he was holding her he pointed and mouthed "What the hell?"
"We got back together," Portman shrugged. "Did I not mention that?"
"No you neglected that little detail," Fulton said, "So um, have you seen everyone?"
"Just Julie," Maya said.
"Oh, well that's enough for anyone I guess," Fulton shrugged. "Um, hey Portman, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure," He nodded and walked away.
"Dude, are you retarded?" Fulton hit him in the head.
"Ow," Portman said, "And no, I brought my girlfriend to a wedding, its normal."
"Yeah, except that's not just your girlfriend," Fulton said, "That's Maya. Girl you lost your virginity to, Julie's biggest insecurity in the world Maya!"
"Yeah," Portman nodded, "And?"
"And?" Fulton said, "And?"
"So you're a parrot now Fult?" Portman shrugged.
"You're actually being as big a dick as she thinks you are," Fulton shook his head.
"I'm not doing this to hurt Julie!" Portman snapped. "I'm doing this because I'm with Maya now, and,"
"And why are you with Maya?" Fulton said quietly.
"Because she's," He stopped, "Because she's the anti Julie." He sighed, "I'm a dick."
"At least you've admitted it," Fulton nodded, "Maya!" He walked over to the confused girl. "It's good to see you again."
"So have you had sex since you broke up with Portman?" Connie asked. Julie looked at her.
"Can't you use your magical sex powers to tell," Julie said.
"So that's no?" Connie sighed.
"There was this one guy," Julie sighed, "We were really drunk and honestly it wasn't very good."
"Details please," Connie said.
"Connie, you're someone's mother," Julie laughed. Connie nodded.
"Yeah, and since Eric was born do you know how often Guy and I have sex?" Connie said.
"I don't, nor do I care, but I have a feeling you're going to tell me anyway," Julie sighed.
"Twice a month," Connie said, "Twice a month! On the fifth and the twenty fifth. My husband only wants me every twenty days Julie! You are my sexy single friend, I should be living vicariously through you."
"You and Guy only have sex twice a month?" Julie said. Connie nodded, "You and Guy have been having sex like seven times a day since we were like fourteen!"
"Sixteen!" Connie said, "Stop making it seem creepy."
"It was creepy," Julie laughed, "Why do you think my grades were so good at Eden Hall? I could never be in my dorm room because you two were always in there, so I spent a lot of time in the library."
"Stop reminding me of what I don't have anymore," Connie said. Julie looked at her, "I know, I'm married, and I have a beautiful son who I adore, but I really miss the way Guy and I used to be. How did you do it?"
"Do what?" Julie said. Connie looked at her, "Oh you mean not screw my boyfriend every second? I don't know, I guess it just wasn't in my wiring." She sighed.
"Are you OK?" Connie said, touching her shoulder.
"I could have handled some nobody, you know?" Julie shuddered, "But I mean, she's everything I'm not Cons!"
"So she's stupid, ugly and short?" Connie asked. Julie looked at her. "Alright, fine, brunette, overtly sexy, didn't make him wait two years?" She nodded. "Honey, you broke up for a good reason, you weren't in love anymore. There's nothing wrong with him moving on."
"I don't know," Julie sighed, "I just, being here, without him, its weird."
"Hey!" They heard a perky chirp behind them and they grimaced. They turned around.
"Hey Layla," Connie smiled.
"Oh Charlie I told you we'd find them," She said.
"Yup, here they are," Charlie nodded, "Where's my godson?"
"Don't know," Connie said, "He's with his father and his Uncle Duckies."
"Oh, how can you bear to be away from him?" Layla said, "He's so precious Connie!"
"He's precious for about four hours," Connie smiled, "After that it's get the kid away from me for a while."
"Jules, you're looking particularly gloomy today," Charlie looked at her, she gave him the finger, "Portman brought a date?"
"Maya," Connie said.
"Ooh," Charlie sighed, "Ouch."
"Yup," Julie said, as her cell phone went off, "Oh, God, wedding stuff," She sighed, "I'll see you guys later." She walked away.
"Alright well," Charlie said, "I'm going to go find the guys. See you ladies later." He kissed Maya, and gave Connie a hug.
"So," Layla said, "Are you and Guy still not having sex a lot?" Connie groaned, it was going to be a long week.
"Daddy," Eric kept turning around, "Daddy, look!" He insisted.
"Yeah, buddy, I see," Guy laughed.
"He's really excited huh?" Averman said.
"He's one and a half, man," Guy shook his head, "Everything gets him really excited."
"Daddy!" Eric said sheepishly.
"Yeah," Guy stopped, and came around to the front of the shoulder and kneeled down, "What's going on?"
"I went doo doo," He giggled. The team lost it at that. That started screaming with laughter. Guy sighed.
"Why didn't you ask to use the potty Eric?" He said. Eric frowned. "I know, you hate the potty."
"Eric hate the potty," He said.
"OK," Guy said, "You guys cool if I go change his diaper?"
"Sure," Goldberg shrugged. Guy picked him up, and grabbed the diaper bag. He held him up. "Oof, that's a stinker."
"Yeah, takes one to know one," Guy pointed.
"How weird is this whole Guy with the baby thing?" Ken shook his head.
"We've seen Eric before," Goldberg shrugged.
"Yeah," Russ nodded, "But always with Connie. I can wrap my head around Connie as a mom, Guy as a dad not so much. Hey," He pointed, "Churros."
"You seem bored," Mel said. Adam shook his head. "Do you want to do something else?"
"No," He said, "I've been thinking about what you said in the limo."
"Yeah," She smiled.
"And I'm in," He looked at her, "I want to be with you." Being around Sherry made him realize all the more that; it was just never going happen. She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. "Mel," He said softly.
"Adam, I'm so happy," She whispered. "Really."
"I'm glad," He nodded. "Listen, can we please go on a real ride now?"
"Ha," She pointed at him, "I knew you weren't having fun!! You were totally drooling during Washington's speech at Hall of Presidents!"
"You like boring things, Mel," He shook his head, pulling her towards Splash Mountain, "I mean, I knew this when you made me go see Atonement seven times, but I didn't think it also applied to theme parks."
"Haha," She said. "And I only saw Atonement all those times because Kiera wanted me to dress her for,"
"For the Golden Globes," He laughed, "I know."
"Oh Julie!" Aimee gasped, walking into the chapel. Julie smiled, "How did you, I mean, last time I went to a wedding here it was like the height of tacky."
"Yeah," Julie smiled, "Well, I had a few things that I insisted on, nothing with mouse ears, although if you look at the embroidery on the table cloths in the reception room, very tasteful hidden Mickeys," Aimee laughed, "All white, because I know you wanted a white wedding and absolutely nothing with the words 'Happily Ever After' stitched on it."
"You're a saint," Aimee hugged her. "Julie, really," Julie shrugged.
"You know," Julie said, "While I was working on this wedding was the happiest I've been in a while."
"Yeah," Aimee said, "Luis told me that Portman's back with his ex, that's tough." Julie shrugged and moved some of the white roses around in a vase. "Why did you guys break up?"
"I don't know," Julie said, "We just grew apart. The magic went away."
"Maybe you'll get it back this week," Aimee winked, Julie laughed. "After all this is where magic lives Julie. We're in the Magic Kingdom."
"Technically we're not in Magic Kingdom proper anymore," Julie grimaced, "But I find that highly unlikely."
"Julie," Aimee hugged her. "Don't you think it's kind of weird, you know, that we're all back here? Back where everything started?"
"That did kind of hit me," She sighed. "But he's with her now. I can't do anything about that. I have to get on with my life. Seeing him helped."
"You sound Sherry," Aimee shook her head, "I'm done with both of you."
