I do not own this show.

Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace

Burger and Tripp smiled as they watched the ceremony, "Psst, dude, is little Abs coming back anytime soon?" The bass player whispered over to Tripp.

"She was pretty sick. Don't worry about it, man. We can show her the video after the wedding."

"Oh, I'm not worried about the wedding, I'm worried about the reception. I heard that Abby is a great dancer. I was going to have a dance-off with her." He frowned.

"Who gives away this woman to be married to this man?" The reverend asked.

"I do." A voice spoke from a laptop. Everyone turned and found a old man watching the wedding via webcam.

"Turns out our parents didn't make it because of all the rain back home." Penelope sighed.

"Good." Derek let out a sigh of relief.

"What?"

"Terrible." Derek lied.

"If anyone there is anyone who feels that these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace." The reverend announced.

Derek was looking for anyone to object, nearly almost praying while Penelope just smiled at the sound of silence.

Suddenly, someone kicks in the door. Someone dressed in an orange leotard and a blue cape.

"What in the world?" Penelope shrieked.

"Trained by the orangutans in the African jungle, watching over the people in Cotton City, it is I, Captain Crazy!" Ash yelled out as he stood in a heroic stance.

"Thanks for kicking in the door, Ash." Abby walked past him, "My name is Abby Rhodes, and I believe these two should not be married!"

"Abby? Tripp told us you were sick." Burger grew confused.

"Really? He lied. Tripp locked me out of the ballroom so I couldn't tell Derek what was really happening."

Everyone gasped as they all looked at Tripp.

"Well, she was going to ruin everything." The lead guitarist retorted, leading Abby to roll her grey eyes and shake her head.

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, do you think Derek would be a better man if he was married?" Abby asked the entire congregation.

Everyone raised their hands, even Ash, Burger, and Tripp.

"Wow. Well, I somewhat understand since the groom is an idiot." Abby shot back.

"I am not an idiot!" Derek snapped.

"Yes, you are!"

"Are too!" Abby argued.

"Do you know have many weeks I suffered with all this wedding planning?" The girl and the singer began to argue over the smallest things.

"Derek!" Abby yelled.

"What?"

"What do you think got us to argue?"

"Well, you called me an idiot."

"I always call you an idiot. That, and see the little man breathing into a paper bag over there?" Abby pointed over to Vic Blaylock, who was hyperventilating in the corner.

"Is that Vic?" Burger squinted.

"Hi, Vic!" Ash waved at the panicking man.

"Vic Blaylock was the friend Penelope was talking about that could get you guys famous again. But not you, Derek." Abby confessed.

"What? You're saying that Derek will be out of Iron Weasel if he gets married?" Ash walked over to Abby.

"Exactly, Captain Obvious."

"It's not Captain Obvious, it's Captain Crazy!" He yelled, still in his heroic stance.

"Derek, darling, what Abigail is saying here is pure rubbish. She's just lying because she's jealous that you guys are going to be famous and not her. She doesn't have any proof that Vic and I are in cahoots." Penelope wrapped herself around Derek's arm.

"Actually, Penelope, I can prove you wrong." Abby pulled out her video camera and hooked it up to the projector, "Ladies and gentlemen, exhibit A."

Everyone saw Penelope and Vic talking behind the screen when Abby tape their reflection in the mirror.

"During the reception will be fine. I'll steal Derek away while you get one of his idiotic buffoons to sign it. Get Ash to do it, he's more stupid."

Ash gave an insulted look over to Penelope as she tried not to look guilty.

"All right. I get the band and you get Derek."

"What the-? How did you-?" Penelope was at a loss for words.

"Like you said, Penelope, you wanted to see everything on the video." Abby shot back.

"Penelope, is this true?" Derek began to sound angry.

"Derek, it was all Vic's idea." She smiled, "He needed a band to sponsor because of the tough times."

"Don't pin this on me, Pimbleton!" Vic shot up as he stormed out of the wedding.

"You used me." Derek said. "Not only that, but you lied to me."

"No, I never lied, Derek. Believe me." Penelope begged.

"She's right, you know." Abby nodded her head, which led everyone to give her confused looks, "She never lied to you, Derek, but she kept the truth from you. That's even worse than lying."

"The wedding is off, Penelope." Derek gave her a dark glare.

"What?" Penelope shrieked, "I promised I can get your band another manager that's even better than Vic Blaylock."

"Why? So we can be in the same mess where we are right now? So, the band can get their chance at fame once more for a ring on your finger? Derek, why did you even propose to this woman? Because you had to take one for the team, right?" Abby felt like she wanted to cry.

"Abby, there's no need to be upset." Burger tried to calm her down.

"Burger, I'm not upset." She reassured him, "I'm furious!" She snapped at the band.

"Isn't that the same thing?" Ash scratched his head.

"Not even close." Tripp muttered back.

"You guys were willing to let your friend be miserable for the rest of his life while you guys were living the sweet, rocker life?" Abby scolded the lead guitarist, the bassist, and the drummer.

"Abby, we had no idea about Penelope keeping Derek out of the band." Tripp explained.

"Even he was in the band, he would still be miserable, being married to her." Abby pointed over to Penelope. "What do you care about more? Derek's happiness, or risking everything, even your friend, to get back in the spotlight?"

"Abby." Derek tried to get a word in.

"Derek, I don't want to hear it. I don't want anything of what you guys have to say. I don't know if I can forgive you, or you guys, as well." Abby shook her head as she walked out of the room.

It's almost over, but like i said, I might have another one up my sleeve. You know the rules. I hoped you enjoyed this chapter.
