It's been how long since my last update? Wow, I need to get on the ball! Okay, I'm not sure where I stopped, so I'm gonna guess…

Two to Tutor: Troth Tales
Chapter 11
The Gap-Filling Pre-Wedding Part

Brittany tip-toed into her bedroom early Thursday morning; Simon was still asleep, but not for long. She quietly and cautiously crawled over to him until she was close enough to put her plan into action. She smiled as she pulled out a noise maker. She took a deep breath and blew into it. "Ah!" Simon screamed falling out of the bed.

"Happy Thursday!" Brittany exclaimed laughing at the sound of Simon's groaning.

Simon climbed back onto the bed and put on his glasses to get a good view of the clock. "Brittany, it's six in the morning." He said closing his eyes and falling back onto the bed.

"I know, but I'm really excited. We're getting married tomorrow!" Brittany said excitedly bouncing on the bed.

"Woot," Simon said casually.

Brittany stopped bouncing. "You're not excited?" She asked furrowing her brow in concern.

"It's not that I'm not excited. It's just this news hasn't gotten anymore exciting since you said it at midnight… and again at one. Then you were mumbling it in your sleep at two, three…"

"I'm excited Simon!" Brittany said bouncing again.

Simon chuckled. "Can you be a little less excited until I'm awake?" He asked returning to his original sleeping position. Brittany nodded and sat Indian style. After a few moments Simon got the feeling he was being watched. He opened his eyes to see Brittany staring at him. He sighed again and sat up. "Guess what Brittany."

"What?"

"We're getting married tomorrow."

"I know!" Brittany squealed bouncing on the bed again.

Simon chuckled and shook his head. "What are you doing up so early anyway?"

"Well, I woke up at five because I was too excited to sleep. So, I took a shower and I didn't want to wake you by watching T.V. up here, so I watched it downstairs. Then I got lonely and decided to come wake you up anyway." Brittany explained quickly.

Simon sat in silence for a moment. "Did you drink any coffee during that time?" He asked.

"Ew, no." Brittany said with a disgusted face. "I dipped a peanut butter sandwich in melted snickers." She said.

Simon stared at her in amazement. "That explains so much." He said climbing out of bed.

Brittany titled her head, confused by his statement. She shrugged and thought nothing more of it. "I have to get dressed." She said walking over to her huge walk in closet. "Kyleigh and I have a hair appointment at eight and a mani pedi at ten. Then we have to pick up our dresses by eleven and we'll have lunch with Jeanette and Eleanor at noon. After that, we're going to car pool all the way across town to the church for the wedding rehearsal…"

"…Which will take forever, because everything Alvin and Annie do will set you off?" Simon asked walking into the closet.

"Yes," Brittany said tired from the thought of it. Simon chuckled as she continued. "Then we have to drive back to the restaurant to get our cars and right after that I have to come home to get ready for the rehearsal dinner. After dinner we come home and I can give you tat present I've been telling you about." She finished with a giggle. Simon nodded even though he zoned out during half of that. "So, what are you doing today?"

Simon shrugged. "I planned on sleeping in; by the way thanks." He said sarcastically. Brittany laughed. "Then I was going to watch T.V. until it was time for the wedding rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner. After that I planned on coming home and going to bed." Simon explained. "But look at you; …getting up early to get everything done. You rock!" He said walking out of the closet.

Brittany glared at him knowing that wasn't all he had to do. "You're such a dork!" She called throwing a pink sweater at him. Simon laughed as he dodged it. "Make yourself useful and wake up Kyleigh." She said walking out of the closet with several different dresses in hand.

"Yesch maschter," Simon said in a low, creepy voice and hobbling out of the room.

Brittany rolled her eyes. "Dork!" She yelled again.

Simon laughed as he made his way to Kyleigh's room. "Hey, I see you're already up." He asked walking in to see Kyleigh lying in her bed but fully awake. "Where's Annie?"

Kyleigh crossed her arms giving him a stony glare. "Downstairs," She answered coldly.

"What's up with the adittude?" Simon asked sitting on her bed.

"Why did you kiss Cousin Annie?" She asked suddenly.

Simon blinked in surprise. "Wow, um, you saw that?" He asked rubbing is neck nervously.

"You think?" Kyleigh asked.

Simon was shocked that she was so much like Brittany after all. "Kyls, I didn't kiss Annie; she kissed me." He said.

"Is there a difference?"

"…A big one." Simon said gesturing for Kyleigh to come sit on his lap. "You have to know I would never kiss or even look at a woman that wasn't your mom." He explained.

Kyleigh nodded. "Are we going to tell mommy?" She asked.

"Of course,"

"Okay let's go." Kyleigh said climbing off Simon's lap and heading for the door.

Simon laughed as if she were joking and pulled her back to her bed. "The last thing we need is a fight to break out the day before the wedding." Simon said. "I don't think they perform marriage ceremonies in jail." He mumbled to himself. Kyleigh laughed at this. "Yeah, I'm not joking." He said.

"When are we going to tell mommy?" Kyleigh asked.

"…After Annie leaves." Kyleigh nodded in agreement. "Now, go get dressed; you have busy day ahead of you." Simon said gently pushing her out the door. Once Kyleigh was gone Simon let out a breath of relief. I am not looking forward to teenage years.

"The wedding rehearsal went really well." Brittany said as they drove to the restaurant where Brittany and her sisters had lunch so Brittany could get her car.

Simon nodded in agreement. "Except for when you called Alvin a lazy, good for nothing, sack of potatoes." Simon said with a laugh.

"He's supposed to stand when I enter." Brittany said with a pout.

Simon chuckled. "He knew that; he just likes to push your buttons. You know that."

"I don't like my buttons pushed." Brittany said crossing her arms.

"You let me push your buttons." Simon pointed out.

"That's because I like the way you push my buttons." Brittany giggled.

Simon chuckled catching on to her joke. "…And I like pushing your buttons." He said.

"We get it!" Jeanette exclaimed from the backseat of the car.

"You have buttons, and he pushes them. Can we please change the subject?" Eleanor asked.

Brittany rolled her eyes and looked out the window. She could barely see out of the window because of the fog. "What is fog anyway?" She asked drawing a heart with her and Simon's initials in it.

"It's creepy and it makes your hair frizz." Simon responded.

"Aw," Brittany said. "He's so smart." She giggled hugging his arm.

Jeanette and Eleanor rolled their eyes as they began flirting again.

When Simon and Brittany arrived at the rehearsal dinner everyone was already wrapped up in their own conversations. "Look there's your aunts." Brittany pointed. Simon looked where she was pointing and nodded. "I'm going to talk to them. I'd love to hear that pajama story again." She said running over to them before Simon could stop her.

Simon groaned at the thought of that story. "Did it finally hit you?" Alvin asked seeing the disgruntled look on Simon's face.

Simon looked at him in confusion. "Did what finally hit me?" He asked.

"That's you're marrying the queen bitch." Alvin said with a laugh.

"Very funny," Simon said. "But that sunk in way before today." He said now laughing.

"Yep, you get to spend the rest of your life with a mean, self-centered, shopaholic." Alvin said lifting his drink up to his mouth. "Sucker…" He mumbled into the cup.

Simon chuckled. "You're right Alvin." He said. "After tomorrow I'm going on a two week cruise with my sex-craving wife, while you stay here and watch my kid." Simon explained. "Yeah, I'm the sucker."

Alvin glared at him as he walked away. Before Simon could get far Brittany ran over and grabbed his hand. "Can I have this dance?" She giggled, pulling him to the dance floor. She wrapped her arms around his neck and they began to slow dance. "I need to talk to you." She said.

"You want to talk while dancing? You show-off..."

"I'm serious." Brittany giggled. "This is the only way I could talk to you with being interrupted."

"Okay, what do you need to talk about?" Simon asked giving his full attention to Brittany.

"It's about the last time you… pushed my buttons." She said with a smile.

"What about it?" Simon chuckled.

"Well, I'm…"

"May I cut in?" Miss Miller asked.

"Ugh!" Brittany exclaimed stomping away.

Miss Miller blinked in confusion. "What's her problem?" She asked Simon.

Simon laughed as he shrugged. "Shall we?" He asked extending his hand to Miss Miller. She accepted it and they began dancing.

I think this is the longest gap-filler I've ever done! Hurray for gap-filling! Alright, here's a random fact for you guys. I was re-unorganizing my room and found some crumpled up pieces of paper in the back of my closet. It was the original Two to Tutor I wrote. Originally, for offering his tutoring services, in return Brittany was supposed to give Simon advice on how to get Jeanette to go out with him. Do you know what this means!? Two to Tutor was never supposed to be a Brimon!!!!! AH! OMG! I was shocked! I wonder what would've become of Two to Tutor if I hadn't changed it. I also wonder why I changed it. OMG! I just realized why I named it Two to Tutor in the first place. Jeez… now that I think about it, the title doesn't even go with the story anymore. Oh well! I can't change it now, it would just confuse them. Haha! So my question to you is… what do you think would've happened if I hadn't changed the plot of Two to Tutor? Leave you answer in your… REVIEW!
