Sk8er Boi

Chapter 7

(XC Was Hard Today: Well, here I am, your favorite little Cara, coming back from cross country practice. We did 100 repeats today. 4 of them. That plus the warm-up is like 3 and a half miles. My times went up supremely over the 4 repeats [that's bad]. Sometimes when I'm running, I think to myself, "Why did I join this?? I'm such a dumbass!" Not that anyone even reads these messages. LoL, I'll stop talking now.)

(Reviewers: You guys kick @$$! Thanks sooo much to everyone that reviewed. I appreciate it so much! Luv ya guys. Lizzie D.: Love the way you signed your review. Potatoes, lol. Kim Stoppable: Glad you like this fic, but it hasn't ended quite yet. This chapter is the last. Ledophole: Glad you liked. My liveliness? Ok, I'll keep it up. Pesky Meddling Blonde: Thanks. Can't wait to read your new fic. NC: It is kinda like Boy Meets World (I realized that after I wrote it). But—in Boy Meets World, they don't skateboard (do they?). twstrzgirl: Thanks. Yes, you are very twisted, lol. Casey: The period-stopping-in-water thing works. You just have to be in water for a really long time. Like 2 hours or so. And then it stops for a while. Trust me, I'm on a swim team and once had to swim without a tampon. kossmoe: Thanks. mako: One moment. I'll need a strong cup of coffee to answer this one...Fuck off! Otto Rocket: Thanks for the idea. It's a good idea, actually. This chapter is gonna be a wedding though. I dunno why, but it is. I'll tell you this...there will be a "song" about Laura. But it won't be a song. Think of the Twister cam. Ditey: Omg thank you sooo much. Me, a writer. *wipes tear from eye* I dunno about the menstrual cycle, but I've done it many a time at swim meets, and I don't have TSS or anything. I hope. Christina: Yea! Right on! You tell him what's what, lol. And I take it that you're twstrzgirl. If so, hurry up and update. Amerie/Twister: Thanks, glad you like. I'll get you some more tissues.)

(A/N: School starts tomorrow. This fic ends today. Just to warn you this chapter will be pretty long. So read.)

{1 Year Later...that would make Otto, Twist, and Sam 19, Reggie 20, and Lars 22 (just turned), k?}

{At the Rockets' House...Pre-Wedding}

Reggie Rocket adjusted her dress for what seemed to be the hundredth time. She critically studied her reflection in the mirror. Usually she didn't pay much attention to how she looked, but today was different.

It was her wedding day.

She heard general noise and commotion outside and guessed that the people who were in the wedding were arriving. Well, except for her, Twist, Sam, Otto and Lars. They were already here. Or so she hoped. She could hear Lars telling everyone what to do.

She smiled as she looked in the mirror. A lot had changed over the years.

Laura was just a (bad) memory now; gone from their lives forever. They hadn't seen her since that day at the Shore Shack.

Otto had become more mature than he was as a child. His ego wasn't quite as big anymore. Sure, he still liked to brag, but not quite as much.

Sam went to college. He was studying something to do with computers. He still liked surfing and hanging out with the gang, though.

Lars had probably gone through the most changes out of any of them. He had kids. Yes, that's right, kids. Three year old twins named Lizzie and Dylan. When he was 19, he got his girlfriend pregnant (A/N: On, uh, prom night). She left the kids with him, saying she had to go visit her parents. He never saw her again. He was adjusting pretty well, considering he now had two kids to take care of.

Reggie snapped back into reality and thought about her wedding. Just then Sherri, Trish, and Clio walked into the room.

"How are you doing, Reg?" Trish asked as she began to brush her hair.

"Fine. Have more people started to arrive?"

"Yeah, a bunch of relatives are here," Sherri answered.

"Good."

"Awww...I can't believe my little cousin Maurice is getting married," Clio said, clasping her hands together excitedly.

"How does my hair look?" Reggie asked, not sounding like herself at all.

"Fine, Reg, chill," Trish rolled her eyes.

~*~

Meanwhile, on the Rocket's porch/deck thingy (A/N: The part that looks like the front of a boat), Otto and Twister were talking.

"Ottoman, you have the rings, right?" Twister asked, pacing around.

A look of panic spread over Otto's face. "What rings?"

"The rings!" Twister yelled, "You didn't get the rings????"

"Just kidding," Otto said, grinning evilly.

"Otto..." Twister growled, his hand clenching into a fist.

"Relax dude. You can't hurt me. I'm your best man."

Twister rolled his eyes and wondered if maybe Lars should have been the best man instead of Otto. After all, Lars was his brother.

Otto saw Twister's worried expression and said, "Chill Twist. I'm sure your wedding will be great."

"I hope so, man."

~*~

Meanwhile, Reggie, Clio, Trish, and Sherri were in Reggie's room, putting on their make-up.

"So Reggie," Clio asked, "Are you wearing something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue? It's good luck, ya know." The others rolled their eyes. Trust Clio to be superstitious.

"Of course," Reggie said. "My dress is new, I borrowed the shoes from Sherri, and my locket is old...."

"...It was my mom's," she finished wistfully. Sadly her mom couldn't be here today. Everyone else looked sad. Reggie's mom died of cancer when she was little (A/N: Or so everyone says).

"What about the blue thing? Trish asked curiously.

"Underwear," Reggie muttered.

The girls all looked at her.

"What?" Reggie said, rolling her eyes. "It was the only blue thing I had."

"I'm sure Twister will enjoy that," Clio said.

Reggie rolled her eyes.

Suddenly they heard a voice from downstairs. "Hey Reg, Clio, Sherri, Trish! The limo's here to take us to the wedding! Hurry up," Otto yelled.

"Remind me again why we're taking a limo? It's not like wedding's too far away. It's being help at the beach." Reggie mumbled.

"Duh Reggie, it's your wedding day," Sherri piped up.

"Right."

They went downstairs and saw Otto and Sammy waiting. "Finally," Otto said, rolling his eyes.

"You looked great, Sherri," Sam said.

"Thanks, Sam, you do too," Sherri said, kissing her boyfriend. (A/N: Yes, Sam and Sherri are dating. A real blow to you Reggie/Sam types, eh?)

"Otto you look good in your tux. Very sexy," Trish said, smiling at her boyfriend.

"I know," Otto said.

"Ahem!" Trish cleared her throat.

"...And you look nice too," he finished.

Clio tapped her foot. "Can we please go now?" she asked impatiently.

"Sure, Clio," Reggie told her. "Where's Lars?"

"He's staying behind and is driving over with Twister," Otto told her.

"Is this everyone?" asked Sam.

"What about Dylan and Lizzie?" Sherri asked, referring to Lars's kids, who were to be the ring bearer and flower girl, respectively.

"They're coming with Lars and Twist," Otto reassured everyone.

"Ok then," Reggie said. "Let's go," she said, opening the front door and stepping outside.

~*~

{At the beach...yes, the wedding is being held at the beach...half hour later}

Reggie peered out of the limo's tinted windows. She could see rows and rows of folding chairs, with an aisle down the middle. There were flowers everywhere. And an altar at the end of the aisle.

She glanced at the limo's clock. (A/N: If you're wondering how they got the limo onto the beach, so am I. I know! It was a special limo.) 15 minutes until the wedding. She looked at the aisle. In 15 minutes she would make the most important walk of her life. She could see her dad coming over to talk to her.

"Hi Princess, how are you feeling?" he asked.

"I'm fine dad," she answered, smiling at him.

"Good, good," he said, and walked away to talk to people.

Reggie could see her relatives; including people she hadn't seen in years. She could see Twister's family, well the ones she knew, anyway. She noticed some of her friends. Like Conroy, who still managed the Madtown skatepark. And Eddie, 'Prince of the Netherworld,' she was glad to see he wasn't wearing his mask. He was however carrying it in his hand. She saw Tito, who was wearing a suit and a Hawaiian print tie. She saw many other people she knew, or at least recognized. Like Merv Stimpleton, who was wearing an uptight-looking suit and a grumpy look on his face.

But one girl in particular stood out. She had ice blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair that looked like it had been dyed and was very skinny. She carried a child that looked like it was about one, or possibly one and a half years old. (A/N: Can anyone guess who it is?) The baby started crying, and she whispered to it, "Shhh, Hope, you're ok. Stop crying." The girl was wearing a shabby dress that looked like it was from a secondhand store and just seemed very nervous and out of place.

Reggie put the girl out of her mind as she thought about the wedding.

~*~

{Wedding time...finally!}

Ray cleared his throat and said loudly, "Excuse me people, please take your seats. The wedding is about to begin!" He glanced at the priest who was standing at the altar already. Every took their seats, except of course, the people who were in the wedding. Suddenly, wedding music began to play on the piano, courtesy of Violet Stimpleton. (A/N: I bet you didn't know she could play the piano.)

Reggie grinned as Twister walked down the aisle, followed by Otto (his best man), Lars, and Sam. Sam and Lars sat down in the front row while Twist took his place up at the altar. Otto stood next to him.

Next, Clio walked down the aisle, followed by Trish and Sherri. Clio stood up at the altar and Sherri and Trish took their place in the front row on the other side of the aisle from the guys.

Next, Lizzie and Dylan, Lars's two adorable little kids, stepped slowly down the aisle. Liz tossed flower petals around, just like her dad instructed her to. Dylan walked next to her, carrying the rings on a fluffy white pillow. He only dropped them once and had to pause to pick them up. Lizzie dropped some flowers on his head as he did so. Everyone laughed and Lizzie grinned at them. She pushed her dark brown hair out of her eyes and they continued walking. Both of the kids smiled as they heard everyone talk about how cute they were. (A/N: Lizzie D, this paragraph is for you.)

Reggie sighed nervously. It was her turn. She saw Raymundo next to her, getting ready to walk her down the aisle. She smiled as she began the walk. Everybody oohed and ahhed about how beautiful she was. She thought she could hear her grandmother telling someone that Reggie's good looks came from her side of the family. She took her place at the altar and smiled at Twister, who was looking a little nervous. That seemed to put him at ease and he grinned back at her. They waited for the minister to begin the ceremony.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered her today to join a couple in holy matrimony..." he said, and continued talking as everyone kinda of stopped paying attention to what he was saying.

"...And if there is anyone who has a reason that these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace." The girl with the badly died hair put her child on the bench and stood up.

"I do," she said, trying to sound confident. Everyone looked at her. Whispers spread around the room as every tried to figure out who she was.

Finally Twister spoke up, "Um, I'm sorry, but who are you?"

"Don't you remember me Twist," she said mockingly, "I'm Laura." (A/N: Whoo...I bet you didn't expect that!)

"Laura!" Reggie said, her eyes widening.

"Yupp. And I'm here to say that Twister and Reggie should not be married."

Otto rolled his eyes. "Why not?" he asked her.

"Because...because...I need to marry Twister."

"You need to?" Clio asked skeptically.

"Yes!"

"But Reggie and Twister love each other," Sam said, looking at her from his spot in the first row.

The words stung her. 'They love each other,' she thought wistfully. 'I guess I shouldn't be here. How could i ever think that Twister would take me back? I tried once...' She picked up Hope (the kid), stepped past the rows of shocked people and started walking away. 'I guess I'm nothing but an evil, shallow person,' she thought.

The priest tried to continue like none of that had happened, "And now onto the vows."

"Do you, Maurice Jonathan 'Twister' Rodriguez take Regina Theresa Rocket to be your lawfully wedded wife, to honor and cherish, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"

"I do," said Twist without any hesitation.

"And do you, Regina Theresa Rocket, take husband, to honor and cherish, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"

"Of course," Reggie said, smiling at Twist, her eyes shining. The priest looked at her evilly. "I do," she said quickly.

"By the power vested in me, i know pronounce you husband and wife...you may now kiss the bride."

Twister pressed Reggie against him and pulled her into a long, deep kiss. Everyone oohed, took pictures, cried, or did whatever they generally did at weddings. Liz and Dylan, who were standing up at the altar, covered their eyes and said, "Eww...they're kissing."

"Shhh," Lars hissed.

Twister and Reggie walked down the aisle together and Clio and Otto (maid of honor/best man) followed them. The guests got out of their seats, talking about how beautiful the wedding was. they went back to the Rockets house for the reception and food and stuff.

{Next day...Reggie and Twister are on a plane, going on their honeymoon.}

"Wow Twist, look at the clouds. Aren't they pretty?" Reggie asked, looking out the plane window.

"Mmhmm," Twister agreed, still tired from the night before. The wedding party had lasted till 2 in the morning, and their flight was at 5. They were going to Paris.

"Hey, Reg?" he asked.

"Yeah?"

"Let's make a movie when we get back."

"Ok. What should it be about?"

"Hmm...how about the story of a boy that goes out with this girl, who is only using him and then dumps him cause he's not good enough for her. Then he gets together with this wonderful girl who loves him and he loves her and they get married and spend the rest of their lives together." (A/N: Wow, was that a run on sentence or what?)

"Sounds familiar," Reggie said, smiling at him.

"Yeah. Now what should we call it?"

"Sk8er Boi."

"Hey, that's good. Great name, Reg," he said, putting one arm around her.

"I know. I love you Twist," she said warmly.

"Love you too," he said and kissed her.

(A/N: And so it ends. Wow. It's over. ::sniffle:: I'm actually kind of sad. This was a great fic to write. Sorry about the typos or length or whatever you didn't like about this. I never thought I could stretch what was supposed to be a small one-chapter song fic into a seven chapter story. And I got so many great reviews XD. Thanks you guys for putting up with my bitchiness and twisted sense of humor and for taking the time to read the story. An insanely huge thank you goes out to Lizzie D. Without her this chapter would not exist. She helped me with all of the wedding related stuff and many other things too. (Thanks Liz...I'll send you some potatoes, lol). Well, please R&R and tell me what you think, be it bad or good. And don't think this is the last you've heard from me. I will write more stuff. Email me or post a review with your questions, comments, suggestions, or whatever. I love getting email/reviews and I love to talk to people. Cya For Now~Cara)
