A/N: this
is the last chapter and the disclaimer is still on as is the r/r thingie…
I am thinking about writing a trilogy about Gabby Kristen and Kirsten, but we'll
see. Am also in need of a beta reader…
Aldys heard
a knock on the door and went to open. When she saw that it was Josie and Sam
that stood there she smiled. "Hi, come on in. I was just thinking back to
when I first met you." Josie gazed adoringly up at Sam as Aldys said the
last part. "I remember it clearly. Everybody should go to high school
twice." The last part was said with a smile. But neither Sam nor Aldys
disagreed with her.
After they
had seated themselves in Aldys' sofa Josie and Sam looked at each other.
"What is it? Oh my God, you have cancer." Aldys didn't really
like the way they looked at each other, nervously. "No, she doesn't
have cancer. Don't jump to the worst possible conclusions. Where is
Guy?" This had to be serious
if they wanted both of them to be there. "He is out shopping, I'll
call him if you want him here." She stretched towards the phone.
Aldys and
Guy had moved into the dorms at Northwestern together, they had got separate
rooms, but shared a bathroom and a kitchen. No matter what everybody else thought
about it, they hadn't bribed anyone to get it that way. Pure luck was the
base of everything in their relationship. Of course other things mattered more
than the luck, but it was luck that had got them talking in the first place and
they also blamed lady Fortune for both having applied to the same university.
Aldys'
father hadn't been thrilled when he discovered that his little baby girl
was going to share a bathroom with a boy. But when he discovered that the boy
was Guy Perkins everything was all right. He trusted Guy, and Tyke adored Guy.
Aldys' family had taken rather quickly to him, but he had done it to them
as well.
"Aldys
you don't have to call Guy. We can tell him later." Josie
interrupted her dialling. "I just wanted you to be my maid of honour, Sam
has asked me to marry him." Aldys couldn't help it, she practically
screamed with glee. "When? How did he do it?" Now it was Sam that
answered. "I proposed last night. It wasn't as special as I would
have liked it to be." Josie actually blushed as she continued. "But
it became special." Aldys sensed that pushing the case further might be
invading their privacy. "I would love to be your maid of honour, but what
about Anita?"
When Aldys
and Guy stood at the doorway to the church, as bridesmaid and usher, waiting
for their time to start walking up the aisle a few months later, they
couldn't help but thinking of all the things that had led to this wedding
taking place. Guy smiled at Aldys. "Looks like it is our turn,
sweetheart." They started walking.
Later that
evening when Sam and Josie, Mr and Mrs Coulson, were about to depart someone
gathered all the unmarried girls so that Josie could throw the bouquet. Aldys
didn't really make an attempt to catch it, she loved Guy but this was too
early to get married. Josie however aimed at Aldys, so that the bouquet hit her
straight on her head. When Aldys woke up all she could see was Guy's
worried face, then his grin when he discovered that she hadn't really got
hurt.
"You
know what this means Aldys?" He held out the fatal bouquet. "No,
Guy, I don't." He gave it to her. "This means you will be the
next married woman. Can I be of some assistance in that?"
Now it
would be easy just to say they lived happily ever after, and perhaps they did.
But marriage wasn't easy for them. They both had to learn to adjust their
thinking to involve another person and to compromise. Aldys and Guy were too
stubborn not to have any fights at all, but they always made up again. After a
while they both graduated from Northwestern University and went out into the
world. Together.
THE END.
