Greenwich Village-Britt is sitting on the windowsill, playing with a ring that was attached to a chain around her neck. Kati enters with about twelve shopping bags and the day's mail.
"Hey Britt!" Kati said with a huge smile on her face. Shopping always made her happy.
"Hey, how was shopping?" Britt asked.
"Great, but shopping always is." Kati replied and paused while she waited for her friend's sarcastic comment. But nothing came. She looked over and saw her still playing with her necklace and looking out the window. She shook her head and sighed and began shuffling through the mail. "Bloomingdales, Macys, Tiffany's, Saks, oh Visa, wait!" Kati paused. "Envelope one of two? Oh that can't be good." She shrugs her shoulders. "Oh well. Oh my Vogues here!" Kati exclaimed as she began flipping through it. She looked down at the table and saw another envelope there. "Oh, looks like Sheridan and Luis finally set a date."
~*FLASH BACK*~ It's 4am. The phone rings.
"Hello?" Britt says, still groggy from sleeping. Kati of course is still asleep. She'd sleep through an earthquake.
"I'M ENGAGED!" screams Sheridan from the other line.
"OH MY GOD!" screams Britt.
Kati rushes out, "What happened?" she asks half asleep.
"Sheridan and Luis are engaged!" Britt tells her.
She's awake now. "Ahh!"
~*END FLASBACK*~
Britt's head pops up "Huh?"
"Come read the invitation."
Britt gets up and reads over Kati's shoulder
You Are Invited
To the wedding of
Sheridan Crane
And
Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald
On May 15, 2000 (AN: that's when we wrote this...and we are just now posting it!!! ~shrugs~hehe!)
In the gardens of the Crane estate
At 10:00 am.
Attached to the invitation was a note from Sheridan:
Hey Girls!
I'm sending you this a week early so you can get you're butts back to Harmony! I can't get married with out my Maid of Honors now can I? Call me as soon as you get this!
Love Always,
Sheridan Lopez-Fitzgerald
(Has a nice ring to it.don't ya think?)
At this point Kati is already dialing and she puts the phone on speakerphone.
"Hello?" comes Luis' voice from the other line.
"OH MY GOD LUIS OH MY GOD!" Kati screams.
"Who is this?" Luis says slyly, knowing that it was Kati. He always loved to tease her.
"Don't start with me now Luis!"
"I think you have the wrong number."
"Oh come on Luis," Britt says, "is Sheridan there?"
"Oh hi Britt! Sure, here she is."
"Hi girls! How are you?" Sheridan says, "when does you're plane leave? I know you already booked a flight."
"Oh, yeah, we did," Kati said, "in five minutes." Sheridan laughs. Meanwhile, Luis called Hank and Sam on his cell phone.
"Hey guys," Luis says, a smirk on his face, "whatchadoin?"
"Nothing man." Says Sam. Hank can hear the amusement in Luis' voice. "What's so funny?" he asks.
"Oh.nothing. Sheridan's in the other room chatting with her Maid of Honors." Luis says.
"That's cool." Says Sam, a little confused, "Who are they?"
"Kati and Britt." Luis answers, holding back laughter.
Hank and Sam look at each other.
"Which means my two best men get to walk them down the aisle." Luis continues.
Hank and Sam smile, "Really?" They say in unison.
Time Lapse~ "Okay then," Sheridan says, "Luis and I will pick you up at the airport around 2:00 tomorrow."
"Okay, see ya then! Bye!" They hang up.
Britt and Kati look at each other and smile.
"Ahh!" Kati screams, "I have to pack!"
Britt laughs, "I'll book the flight."
~*~
The next morning. Britt, who has been ready since 6am, walks into Kati's room with a pillow in her hand and prepares to wake Kati up. First she tries the easy way. "It's time to get up Kati!" She says a little too cheerfully.
Kati groaned and rolled over, "Five more minutes." She mumbled.
Status of easy plan: complete failure. Now is the time to resort to desperate measures: the hard way. Luckily, Britt is prepared. She lifts the pillow high over her head and begins singing. "Morning is here! Sunshine is here!" Kati puts her blanket over her face. Britt chuckles, 'You leave me no choice.' She thinks to herself. She begins beating Kati with the pillow, "Get up! Get up! Get up!" she screams. Kati jumps out of her bed.
"Alright!" she screams, "I'm up! Are you happy now!"
Britt smiles as she fixes her hair and straightens her shirt. "Very." She says walking calmly out of the room.
Time Lapse~ Kati is curling her hair in the bathroom. Britt knocks on the door, "Come on, Beauty Queen! It's time to go. The bellboy already took our bags out to the cab."
"Do you have the tickets?" Kati asks her.
"Yep, I have them right here. Check!" Britt answers.
Kati gives her a weird look. They go to the airport and walk to the gate. They had first class seats. Kati wouldn't settle for anything less. It was a three-hour flight from New York to Harmony. Kati slept the whole way while Britt watched the movie. When the plane landed, they were one of the first people off the plane. They spot Luis and Sheridan right away. They run over and Kati stops in front of Sheridan and Britt stops in front of Luis. Everyone screams and hugs. Luis smiles at Kati, "Who are you?" he asks her. Kati laughs and punches him on his shoulder, but breaks a nail while doing it.
"Luis!" Kati yells, "You made me break a nail!" He laughs. They go to baggage claim. Britt, Kati, and Sheridan giggle and chat the whole way. Four bags fall down the ramp. Luis picks them up and prepares to leave.
"Wait!" Kati says, "I'm still waiting for two more bags!" Luis and Sheridan laugh while Britt rolls her eyes.
"You haven't changed one bit." Luis tells her.
"Well, Britt was always the practical one." Sheridan said. Britt laughed.
"Hey!" Kati said. They give her a look and she nods. Her last two bags fall and Luis, being the sweetheart that he is, picks them up. "God!" He says, "What do you keep in here, rocks?"
"No Luis!" Kati says, "It's make-up and shoes and.make-up!" Everyone laughs. "Why don't we go back to the cottage and get you guys settled." Sheridan says. They begin walking towards the exit. "Oh yeah," Luis says, "We're going to the Lobster Shack tonight with the gang around 7:00."
"Everyone's gonna be there?" Britt asks. "Yep," Luis says, trying to push the subject, "the whole gang. Ethan, Theresa, Sam," looks at Kati, "and Hank." Looks at Britt. Sheridan hits him. Luis laughs. They drive to the cottage in Sheridan's limo. (Remember, she's rich.) They arrive at the cottage and Sheridan and Luis show Britt and Kati to their room. "Well, I better let you ladies catch up." Luis says. He gives Sheridan a sweet kiss. She smiles. Luis walks into the hallway, but he stops, turns around and gives Sheridan another kiss. "Aww." Britt and Kati said in unison.
"See ya tonight." Luis says.
Time Lapse~ Kati is inside her closet on her hands and knees throwing all her unpacked clothes around the room. Britt and Sheridan walk in and see her sitting in a pile of clothes.
"Uh, Kati?" Britt says, "What are you doing?"
"Oh Britt, good! Have you seen my black cardigan? Ya know, the one that goes great with this dress?"
Britt walks over to her organized closet. "Actually Hon, it's my shirt and yes you can borrow it."
"Thanks Britt. You're the best." Kati says gratefully as she puts it on over her electric blue spaghetti strapped dress that fell about two inches above her knees. Britt was wearing a lavender turtleneck halter-top and a short black skirt. Sheridan was wearing an aqua tank top with matching cardigan and a black skirt. Britt and Sheridan look a Kati's shoes and start cracking up.
"What?" Kati asks, "Do they make my legs look fat?" She turns around so she can see her figure in the mirror.
"No," Britt said through giggles, "But uh, aren't they just a little to high? I mean come on honey, they have to be like, 51/2 heels."
At that moment Luis enters. "Well, don't you ladies look nice all dressed up?" Britt goes over to help Kati find a purse.
"So, are they ready yet?" Luis asks Sheridan. "Almost," she answers.
"Good, we have to go to the Lobster Shack and afterwards Kati can go to Sam's surprise."
"And Hank's surprise is tomorrow right?"
"Right." Luis says.
Sheridan looked over at Britt and Kati, STILL looking for a purse buried beneath the mountain of clothes. "And neither one of them has a clue." She said.
"That's the plan." Luis says.
Meanwhile, at the Bennett house, Hank is leaning up against the window and smiling. (AN: All sexy-ya know, the way guys do.) Sam, who just got out of the shower, walks into the room with a towel around his waist. (AN: Oh that's nice!) He sees Hank. "Penny for your thoughts?" Sam asks.
"Huh?" Hank says, obviously being disturbed.
Sam walks over to his dresser and begins to put on aftershave. "So, what are you wearing tonight?" Sam asks, "You know our girls are gonna be there."
Hank pulls out his wallet and looks at his faded prom picture with Britt. "I can't wait to see her again." He says.
Sam shakes his head. "You still haven't gotten over her, have you?" he asks.
Hank puts the picture away and quickly changes the subject. "So, everything's set up for Kati's surprise tonight right?"
"You bet." Sam replies with a smile. "Do you know what you're gonna do for Britt tomorrow?"
"Oh yeah," Hank answers, "I have everything all figured out."
