Disclaimer: Who thought this story was over? psh. You think I'd end there XD Nopez, I have a couple BONUS chapters for those of you not satisfied enough with the current "ending". I still own nothing, but I thought I'd give those of you nice enough to read my story a little extra for being sooo sweet :D

Hope's Perspective:

A gown of satin floats around me, the color of the sea foaming. It's bright blue, with a hint of greens and darker blues-gorgeous and perfect for a beach-side wedding. I've even acquired a tan just for this day. I look inside the mirror to inspect myself.

A flower, white with pink hues, rests daintily in my brown-recently highlighted-hair. A simple pearl necklace lies around my throat, a gift from Ross. I also bought a matching bracelet for the ceremony. A pair of white (with tiny crystals) sandals sit beside the bed-ready to be placed on my feet. I adjust the cat eye, shades of gold and brown, a bit and apply the last bit of red lip-gloss.

"Perfect!" I sigh, then turn around to see the TRUE perfection before me.

There stands the most beautiful bride-wearing a gown of white with accented turquoise embroidery throughout the gown. There are even a few light green and blue gems along the bodice. On her shining long, blonde curls-rests a crown of silver lace veil with a small gem to hold it in place. Her eyes shine with tears, and her make-up is flawless.

The grin upon her face seems to light the room and her rosy cheeks shine with excitement. It's been 2 years since the kidnapping, and the day Rocky asked Kira to marry him! At first, she was overjoyed at the idea to get married soon... But they realized that it would be best to wait.

I was still (amazingly) dating Ross, and he had gotten even handsomer than ever. He even looked good with a goatee and side-burns... But don't inform him, because I like a SMOOTH operator. His hair is now a light brownish blonde and it's the same hair-cut as always.

Kira squeals, looking at her reflection in the glass.

"I thought this day would NEVER come soon enough!" she exclaims, holding a hand to her face.

I laugh, and join her in a merry dance around the room.

"Hey girls, excited much?" asks Elizabeth, walking into the room.

She wears a full-length gown of turquoise and has a blue gem clip in her braided up-do. She grins, twirling around and then shows off her silver high-heels. We choose these two gowns to reflect our different personalities. Kira had decided we BOTH were her maids of honor, and the other bride's maids included: Alex, Rydel and her half-sister Megan: They would wear a long, a-line blue gown for the ceremony.

Elizabeth was (like me) still dating Riker and was totally content. A dazzling emerald ring flashed on her finger, reminding us of her recent engagement.

Flashback- Several nights ago, Riker had taken Elizabeth on a midnight swim to the beach... During this, we set up cameras, and a sound system. They danced on the beach to the song Riker and Elizabeth had written entitled: "Loving You-is Beautiful!"

"Loving you is beautiful... It makes my heart sing. Loving you is like a rainbow, but it doesn't need to rain! Loving you, makes my world-a better place! Loving you, is better. Through thick and thin, any weather. Loving you-is beautiful!"

then we all came and sang "Here comes Forever" and totally surprised her. She started crying, and Riker got down on one knee.

"Elizabeth, you are my life-my love-my happiness. And nothing could make me happier than knowing that you'll continue to be by my side, forever. Will you marry me?"

Elizabeth gasped, then jumped up and down shouting: "YES! YES! YES!" Kira, Rydel, Alex and I giggled. And watched a slow, romantic kiss pass between Riker and Elizabeth. awe.

End of flashback.

So, now Elizabeth was engaged-it was Kira's wedding day... Alex had been dating this guy named Kyle for about a year now, and Ryland was... well Ryland. Rydel and Ratliff had been on and off for awhile. But finally, last year, they married in a small chapel in France with only close family and friends.

Alex and Rydel rushed in, looking beautiful in their blue gowns.

"HEY! PICTURE TIME!" said Ratliff, giving a quick peck on the cheek to his wife.

We all rushed outside after him and posed in front of a gorgeous beach. The ceremony would be held right at sunset. We were all so happy, and excited... Then Ross ran up, swooped me up in his arms, and spun me around.

"HEY!" he said, pulling me close.

"HEY YOURSELF!" I replied, laughing.

We headed down to the ceremony space, making sure everything was in order. I saw Riker and Elizabeth together, practicing their dancing. It was so cute. Rocky had been FORBIDDEN to see Kira until the ceremony, so we hid right before it was time to begin.

Kira shook nervously, and we (the girls) stood in our line, waiting for the music.

"I...I'm not sure about this..." she said, looking at her toes.

"You love Rocky, you've been dreaming of this day FOREVER! It's only natural for a bride to have second thoughts... But remember-is it fear talking or your heart? If your heart says 'I love HIM!' Then that's what you need to do, get out there and get MARRIED!" Alex said, giving another one of her amazing pep talks.

Kira grinned, hugging each of us.

"Thanks-I would never had gotten here without you guys..." she bite her lip, in memory of the past. Those horrible day or so locked up by a maniac who wanted to marry her... (shudder)

We all thought about those memories, both the bad and the good. I remembered how it had all begun-accidently ending up BACKSTAGE at an R5 concert, being mistook for the backup singer, singing with the band, Ross's call, meeting Kira, Elizabeth coming... so much had happened since then. But I would never forget that day-not EVER!

Kira was soon wed, and we danced the night away. I personally danced it with Ross, who tenderly held me in his arms. We watched the happy couple dance, and I shed many a tear. Rocky even sang a duet with his new bride, and we cheered like crazy.

Elizabeth, Riker, Ross and I sang a song about new life, new love and the hope it brings. Everyone clapped, and I grinned. Not only was R5 more popular than ever, but even us four (Alex, Elizabeth, Kira and I) got some recognition. Elizabeth had just released her second album, already on it's way to number 1.

Ross and I had been in a film together called: "Forever and Ever" a love story about a girl afraid to love, and a boy who once was a player-and how they find hope, help, love and happiness with the other.

Basically, a LOT was going on! And I never wanted this night to end-I never ever wanted it to end! I wanted to live in this moment, forever!
