A/N: Alright......I'm still pissed that the chapter is gone, but I'm gonna
try my best to remember what I can and to make as good! I just hope it's
up to where I want it in my standards meter. I mean the other wasn't the
best.......but it was still pretty damn good. I apologize for makin ya'll
wait so long for it!
"Do we look hot or what?!" Trish exclaimed as she stared at herself in the full length mirror that was set up in the large hotel room. I laughed as I walked up behind her and looked at myself.
"We do look pretty damn hot," I said as I fixed the single strap on the dress on the silver bride's maid's dress I had picked for us to wear. They had a single strap that went over our right shoulders and crossed down the back to the left. They were straight with a little train on the skirt and they sparkled in the light. Trish smiled at me as Nora walked up behind us trying to fix her shoes.
"I truly hate these things!" she yelled as she sat down on the bed exhaustedly. Trish giggled and walked over to her to help her strap up her clear heels.
"CASEY!!!" Amy screamed from the bathroom. "I NEED YOU!!"
"Duty calls," I joked as I walked into the bathroom. Amy sat in the middle of the bathroom in her underwear, rocking back and forth. "Come on Ames. We're gonna be late if you don't get a move on."
"I can't do this, Case! I seriously don't think I can marry him," she said as she looked up at me.
"Amy, this is just nerves. You've got butterflies. Of course you can marry him. You two love each other. It's gonna be okay," I said as I pulled her to her feet.
"No, Case. I don't think it is just nerves. I can barely breathe and my legs feel so weak. I can barely stand," she said as I helped her step into her strapless ivory dress.
"You can do it. You want to do it. It is just nerves. They'll all go away after you have that first kiss as a married couple." I zipped up her dress and fluffed out the skirt a little bit. I straightened the tiara that sat amongst her curls of bright red hair.
"Really? You think it'll disappear?"
"Of course! I know it will," I smiled.
"Oh, I have something for you," she said as she turned to her bag.
"Ames, you already got me this beautiful silver bracelet. I don't need anything else."
"That was a wedding party gift from Matt and I. This is just from me. A thanks for being my maid of honor," she said as she handed me a black velvet box. Inside was a silver toe ring that had Lil' Sis engraved on it.
"Thank you Ames. It's beautiful." I hugged her tightly and then slipped it on my toe. I smiled at her and pulled her out of the bathroom.
"Are we ready?" Nora asked.
"No, but it's now or never right? The first kiss as a married couple, that's what I'm shooting for," Amy said as we all walked down to the lobby together.
"See, there's our limo. You can do it Ames," I whispered as she gripped my hand tightly. We climbed into the black limo and headed to a small church in Raleigh.
"Are you nervous about your songs, Case?" Nora asked.
"Yeah, but it's no different than standing in the middle of the ring talking, right?" I asked with a laugh.
"It'll be easier cause you'll have Jeff singing with you," Trish said.
"I wish you two would have told us what and when you were singing. This is really nerve racking," Amy said nervously.
"Don't worry. It's nothing bad. You'll find out soon enough," I said.
"It's about damn time you guys got here!" Shannon exclaimed running out to greet us in the lobby.
"Well, hello to you too Shan," Trish laughed.
"Matt's goin crazy in there. He thinks you stood him up, Ames," Shannon said. "He's sitting on the steps with his head in his hands. He's all worried."
"Awe, poor Matty," I laughed as I peeked into the room. Shannon was right, he was sitting on the bottom step, with his head in his hands, shaking it slightly.
"By the way, you girls look beautiful. Especially you Amy," Shannon said kissing her cheek.
"Thanks," she replied as he father walked over to her. He kissed her cheek and the tears started to flow down her cheek. I rolled my eyes at her as the ever traditional "Greensleeves" began to play. Nora slowly started the walk down the isle with Trish close behind. I took a deep breath and began my walk down as well. I gave everyone a smile and Matt a reassuring nod as he looked at me pleadingly. He gave me a large smile as "Here Comes the Bride" started. Everyone stood and looked towards the entrance as Amy made her tearful way down the isle. Her father released her and she grabbed Matt's hand tightly, starting the beginning of the ceremony.
During the ceremony, my focus was mostly on the songs that Jeff and I would be singing together. I was hoping I wouldn't forget the words, or the part I was supposed to jump in on. I glanced over at Trish as she sobbed her way through the ceremony, Nora doing a similar action. I looked over at Jeff and he looked back at me, smiling sweetly.
"Now, the Amy's maid of honor, Casey, and Matt's best man and brother, Jeff, would like to sing a song to the couple." I took a deep breath and handed my bouquet to Trish. Jeff took my hand as I stood and we walked up the couple of steps to a microphone. Amy and Matt sat on a bench next to us as Jeff nodded for the music to start.
"Our bed we live, our bed we sleep
Making love and I become you
Flesh is warm with naked feet
Stabbing thorns and you become me
Oh, I'd beg for you. Oh, you know I'll beg for you."
Jeff began the song with a solo on the first verse and I joined him on the chorus.
"Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
Take a bath, I'll drink the water that you leave
If you should die before me
Ask if you can bring a friend
Pick a flower, hold your breath
And drift away..."
Now it was my turn to shine as we went into the second verse.
"She holds my hand we share a laugh,
Slipping orange blossom breezes
Love is still and sweat remains
A cherished gift unselfish feeling...
Oh, I'd beg for you. Oh, you know I'll beg for you."
"Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
Take a bath, I'll drink the water that you leave
If you should die before me
Ask if you can bring a friend
Pick a flower, hold your breath
And drift away..."
I smiled over at Jeff as we prepared for the last verse together. He took my hand and held it tightly. I sighed deeply as we began to sing.
"She tells me things, I listen well
Drink the wine and save the water
Skin is smooth, I steal a glance
Dragon flies "er" gliding over...
Oh, I'll beg for you. Oh, you know I'll beg for you."
"Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
Take a bath, I'll drink the water that you leave
If you should die before me
Ask if you can bring a friend
Pick a flower, hold your breath
And drift away..."
As the song ended I looked over at Matt and Amy. Both of them had tears streaming lightly down their faces. Everyone stood and applauded as Jeff and I bowed. We walked down the steps together and took our seats.
"Today, on September 13, 2003, I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Hardy! You may now kiss the bride!" Everyone stood and applauded as Matt grabbed Amy's face in her hands and kissed her passionately. They walked down the isle together. Once out of sight, Jeff and I followed.
"You sounded great up there," Jeff complimented.
"Thanks you too. Now I just have the next song to worry about," I laughed as Trish and Shane followed us with Nora and Shannon close behind.
"Thank you so much for that song," Amy said to me as she pulled me into a tight hug.
"No problem. We love you guys and it was just something small that we could do," I replied.
"Come on Mrs. Hardy, God I love the sound of that," Matt laughed. "We have photos to do!"
We all gathered in the garden area of the church and did the wedding pictures. After that, the wedding party gathered into a limo, while Matt and Amy got their own. We drove off to the wedding reception and waited in the lobby to be introduced.
"I'd like to present to you, the wedding party. First up we have Nora Greenwald and Shannon Moore!" They walked into the room arm in arm and sat in their seats at the head table as Trish and Shane moved up. "Next I'd like to introduce Trish Stratigius and Shane Helms!" They too found their seats as Jeff and I moved up in the line. "Now, the maid of honor Casey Piniarski and best man and Matt's brother, Jeff Hardy!" Jeff and I walked in and went straight over to the dj where he gave us both a microphone. "Now, the moment you've all been waiting for. The newly weds, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Hardy!" Matt and Amy walked in and towards the dance floor. "They'll have their customary first dance to a song sung by Jeff and Casey." We smiled at them as they got situated. The music started and we began to sing together.
"Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you."
"Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you."
Jeff stopped singing and stepped back. I looked at him with confusion and he just smiled. I shook my head and focused on the music as I continued the song by myself.
"There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way."
Jeff moved back next to me and we finished the song together.
"Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you."
"Oh my God! That was great you guys!" Amy said giving us both a hug as the four of us went to the table to start on a salad.
"Why didn't you warn me that you were gonna do that to me?! I almost had a heart attack," I said elbowing Jeff in the stomach.
"You just sounded so good that I thought you deserved a little spotlight," Jeff said softly.
"Thanks," I replied with a meek smile.
"That's my girl, the song bird!" Shane laughed. I rolled my eyes as the dj stopped the music.
"Alright, the time has come for the bride and her father to have their dance. And the song is "My Girl" by the Temptations picked out by Casey," the dj announced as everyone cleared the floor for them. Matt stood off to the side of the floor and watched. I walked over to him and smiled up at him as he wrapped his arm around my waist and placed a kiss on the top of my head.
"Thank you for the songs. You guys did really well with them," Matt said.
"No problem. It was fun," I answered.
"Ya know, it's times like this when I really wish I had my mother. She should have been here for this. I bet you would have picked an awesome song, huh?" Matt asked.
"Yeah, "A Song For Mama" by Boyz II Men," I replied. "But ya know what, she is here. She's always with you. As long as you're thinking of her and as long as you have her in your heart, she'll be there. And I'm sure she's looking down on you and is proud of what you've become."
"You always seem to know the right things to say. Thanks Kiddo," he said.
"No problem......MATTY!" I laughed as I walked away.
The party continued and we all did a lot of dancing. During "You Can't Touch This", I witnessed the most frightening thing ever imaginable, two white boys trying to breakdance. Jeff and Matt should not be breakdancing.......ever! But it was funny to watch and good to see.
"Could we have the whole wedding party on the floor for the wedding party dance?" the dj announced. I walked onto the dance floor with Shane, but moved right to Jeff. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he wrapped his around my waist and pulled me close to his body. We began to dance to "Whenever You Call" by Mariah Carey and I rested my head on his shoulder, breathing in his unusual but awesome smell of mixed cologne. I closed my eyes as we danced and just moved to the beat of the music.
"You look beautiful," Jeff said. I looked up at him and smiled.
"Thanks you too," I said as he laughed. "I mean you look handsome. Ya know what I meant!"
"Yeah, I know. God, I can't believe my brother's married now. That's so weird," he said with a sigh. "I just hope I get there some day."
"Jeff, you will. You just have to find that right girl," I said. "And when you do, I had better be invited mister!"
"If I have anything to say about it, you'll be in it!" I looked at him with a shocked look and he laughed. "As a bride's maid of course."
"Of course," I repeated as I placed my head back on his shoulder.
After the song, Matt and Amy cut the cake, and Matt was very good and didn't shove it in her face. But I can't say that Matt didn't get some on his. Jeff decided he'd use his piece as a foundation for Matt's face. Matt was not too impressed, but it was funny watchin him chase Jeff around the room.
"All the single ladies please head out to this corner of the dance floor. Amy's ready to toss her bouquet," the dj announced as he walked around to the front of his booth.
"Come on Case!" Trish exclaimed as she tried to drag me with her.
"No, I'm not single, I've got my Shane right here," I said holding onto his arm.
"But you're not married yet so get your ass out there!" she laughed.
"Go ahead. Ya know what they say, if you catch the bouquet, then you're the next to get married. And whoever catches the garter belt will be marrying you. So, I'll, with fingers crossed, catch the garter. You just have to worry about the flowers," Shane said kissing my lips softly. Trish pulled me out with her and I went straight for the back, behind all the other girls. Amy stood back to us and threw her arms over her head. I watched as the flowers flew out of her hands and through air, over all the girls heads. Instinctively, I jumped up and grabbed it out of the air. I guarded it protectively, as if I were a football player running the ball in for a touch down. Once everyone settled down I was free to move around. I walked towards Shane smiling and he wrapped me up in a hug.
"You had better be catchin that garter belt!" I laughed. He laughed at me as him and the rest of the single men stood where we had once stood. Jeff stood off to the side, looking as if he wanted to shoot himself. I gave him a small smile and smiled back as Matt tossed the garter belt. Miraculously, the garter hit Jeff's forehead and it fell right into his hands. Everyone ran over to congratulate Jeff except for Shane he glared at him. Jeff looked completely embarrassed as everyone patted his back.
"Alright. Now we all know the way this works. The guy that catches the garter belt is supposed to put it on the leg of the girl that catches the bouquet. Then they're destined to be married. Well, Jeff, Casey, there's a chair in the middle of the floor with your names on it!" the dj said. I walked to the chair and stared at Jeff with a little smile. He gave me a shrug as I sat in the chair. "Okay, Jeff, just slide it on up her leg."
"I'm sorry," Jeff said quietly as he slowly slid the small ring of fabric up my leg. I placed my hands on his shoulders as he gently slid his hands up my leg. I sighed deeply as I felt them touch my thigh. He stopped moving the fabric, but moved his hand up slightly more as I let out a quiet gasp. He quickly removed his hands and looked at me.
"Alright, now it's been requested that you two share a dance. So, come on, get on up. Everyone, I'd like to present to you, possibly the future Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Hardy!" the dj said as he walked behind his booth.
Jeff took my hands and pulled me to my feet. Like during the wedding party dance, I wrapped my arms around his neck and place my head on his chest. I felt very comfortable as the song began.
"Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
and there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe."
"I'm sorry that I caught the thing. I really didn't want to," Jeff whispered to me.
"I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life."
"That's okay. Ya know, it's not like you could have really helped it," I replied.
"This is kinda weird though, isn't it?" he asked.
"Yeah it is, it's almost like they planned it this way," I laughed.
"I was just thinking that. I mean look at Matt and Amy. They look absolutely happy that we're doin this," Jeff laughed.
"I know, all I hear from her is about how you and I should hook up," I said.
"There's just no rhyme or reason
only this sense of completion
and in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I found my way home
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe."
"This had to have been their little creation," Jeff decided.
"Ya wanna hear the worst part?" I asked with a laugh. He nodded and I continued. "I picked out the song for this dance."
"Oh man! You didn't!" Jeff laughed. I chuckled as I nodded my head on his chest.
"I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life."
"Case, I have to be honest with you. I'm not hating this," Jeff said.
"Me either," I sighed softly.
"A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I found you
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life."
"Thanks for the dance," I said as I looked into his eyes. He moved his head towards mine and placed his soft lips on mine. The kiss was nothing. Just another kiss, like we do for the show. There was nothing spectacular about it. I walked away from him and into Shane's arms. "I love you."
"I love you too," Shane said in almost a shocked tone.
"Why do you sound so shocked?" I asked.
"I don't know. I guess I'm just a little upset that that wasn't my hand up your dress," he answered.
"Well, later on, that could," I said wiggling my eyebrows.
"Can we leave now!?" Shane exclaimed in a squeak.
"I don't think that would be very nice. I'm sure you can wait just a little while," I laughed.
About an hour later, we were on the floor for the last dance of the nite. The most romantic song, in my mind, played. It was chosen by me, once again, "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers. Shane and I got lost in the moment as we moved to the music together. We continued to dance even after the song was over.
"Are you two comin out to say goodbye to Amy and Matt?!" Trish asked as she and Tim walked up to us. I looked at her and smiled as I realized that the song had ended.
"They're leaving already?!" I asked as I grabbed Shane's hand and pulled him outside with me, just in time to see them drive off for the airport in their limo.
"Guess we'll just have to see em when they get back. Now, onto what we discussed earlier," Shane said as he ran off towards the car, dragging me with him. I laughed as we jumped into his car and drove off for his house.

So, there they are!! Hope ya'll enjoyed the wedding!!!!
"Do we look hot or what?!" Trish exclaimed as she stared at herself in the full length mirror that was set up in the large hotel room. I laughed as I walked up behind her and looked at myself.
"We do look pretty damn hot," I said as I fixed the single strap on the dress on the silver bride's maid's dress I had picked for us to wear.

"CASEY!!!" Amy screamed from the bathroom. "I NEED YOU!!"
"Duty calls," I joked as I walked into the bathroom. Amy sat in the middle of the bathroom in her underwear, rocking back and forth. "Come on Ames. We're gonna be late if you don't get a move on."
"I can't do this, Case! I seriously don't think I can marry him," she said as she looked up at me.
"Amy, this is just nerves. You've got butterflies. Of course you can marry him. You two love each other. It's gonna be okay," I said as I pulled her to her feet.
"No, Case. I don't think it is just nerves. I can barely breathe and my legs feel so weak. I can barely stand," she said as I helped her step into her strapless ivory dress.
"You can do it. You want to do it. It is just nerves. They'll all go away after you have that first kiss as a married couple." I zipped up her dress and fluffed out the skirt a little bit. I straightened the tiara that sat amongst her curls of bright red hair.

I walked over to him and smiled up at him as he wrapped his arm around my waist and placed a kiss on the top of my head.
"Thank you for the songs. You guys did really well with them," Matt said.
"No problem. It was fun," I answered.
"Ya know, it's times like this when I really wish I had my mother. She should have been here for this. I bet you would have picked an awesome song, huh?" Matt asked.
"Yeah, "A Song For Mama" by Boyz II Men," I replied. "But ya know what, she is here. She's always with you. As long as you're thinking of her and as long as you have her in your heart, she'll be there. And I'm sure she's looking down on you and is proud of what you've become."
"You always seem to know the right things to say. Thanks Kiddo," he said.
"No problem......MATTY!" I laughed as I walked away.
The party continued and we all did a lot of dancing. During "You Can't Touch This", I witnessed the most frightening thing ever imaginable, two white boys trying to breakdance. Jeff and Matt should not be breakdancing.......ever! But it was funny to watch and good to see.
"Could we have the whole wedding party on the floor for the wedding party dance?" the dj announced. I walked onto the dance floor with Shane, but moved right to Jeff. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he wrapped his around my waist and pulled me close to his body. We began to dance to "Whenever You Call" by Mariah Carey and I rested my head on his shoulder, breathing in his unusual but awesome smell of mixed cologne. I closed my eyes as we danced and just moved to the beat of the music.
"You look beautiful," Jeff said. I looked up at him and smiled.
"Thanks you too," I said as he laughed. "I mean you look handsome. Ya know what I meant!"
"Yeah, I know. God, I can't believe my brother's married now. That's so weird," he said with a sigh. "I just hope I get there some day."
"Jeff, you will. You just have to find that right girl," I said. "And when you do, I had better be invited mister!"
"If I have anything to say about it, you'll be in it!" I looked at him with a shocked look and he laughed. "As a bride's maid of course."
"Of course," I repeated as I placed my head back on his shoulder.
After the song, Matt and Amy cut the cake, and Matt was very good and didn't shove it in her face. But I can't say that Matt didn't get some on his. Jeff decided he'd use his piece as a foundation for Matt's face. Matt was not too impressed, but it was funny watchin him chase Jeff around the room.
"All the single ladies please head out to this corner of the dance floor. Amy's ready to toss her bouquet," the dj announced as he walked around to the front of his booth.
"Come on Case!" Trish exclaimed as she tried to drag me with her.
"No, I'm not single, I've got my Shane right here," I said holding onto his arm.
"But you're not married yet so get your ass out there!" she laughed.
"Go ahead. Ya know what they say, if you catch the bouquet, then you're the next to get married. And whoever catches the garter belt will be marrying you. So, I'll, with fingers crossed, catch the garter. You just have to worry about the flowers," Shane said kissing my lips softly. Trish pulled me out with her and I went straight for the back, behind all the other girls. Amy stood back to us and threw her arms over her head. I watched as the flowers flew out of her hands and through air, over all the girls heads. Instinctively, I jumped up and grabbed it out of the air. I guarded it protectively, as if I were a football player running the ball in for a touch down. Once everyone settled down I was free to move around. I walked towards Shane smiling and he wrapped me up in a hug.
"You had better be catchin that garter belt!" I laughed. He laughed at me as him and the rest of the single men stood where we had once stood. Jeff stood off to the side, looking as if he wanted to shoot himself. I gave him a small smile and smiled back as Matt tossed the garter belt. Miraculously, the garter hit Jeff's forehead and it fell right into his hands. Everyone ran over to congratulate Jeff except for Shane he glared at him. Jeff looked completely embarrassed as everyone patted his back.
"Alright. Now we all know the way this works. The guy that catches the garter belt is supposed to put it on the leg of the girl that catches the bouquet. Then they're destined to be married. Well, Jeff, Casey, there's a chair in the middle of the floor with your names on it!" the dj said. I walked to the chair and stared at Jeff with a little smile. He gave me a shrug as I sat in the chair. "Okay, Jeff, just slide it on up her leg."
"I'm sorry," Jeff said quietly as he slowly slid the small ring of fabric up my leg. I placed my hands on his shoulders as he gently slid his hands up my leg. I sighed deeply as I felt them touch my thigh. He stopped moving the fabric, but moved his hand up slightly more as I let out a quiet gasp. He quickly removed his hands and looked at me.
"Alright, now it's been requested that you two share a dance. So, come on, get on up. Everyone, I'd like to present to you, possibly the future Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Hardy!" the dj said as he walked behind his booth.
Jeff took my hands and pulled me to my feet. Like during the wedding party dance, I wrapped my arms around his neck and place my head on his chest. I felt very comfortable as the song began.
"Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
and there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe."
"I'm sorry that I caught the thing. I really didn't want to," Jeff whispered to me.
"I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life."
"That's okay. Ya know, it's not like you could have really helped it," I replied.
"This is kinda weird though, isn't it?" he asked.
"Yeah it is, it's almost like they planned it this way," I laughed.
"I was just thinking that. I mean look at Matt and Amy. They look absolutely happy that we're doin this," Jeff laughed.
"I know, all I hear from her is about how you and I should hook up," I said.
"There's just no rhyme or reason
only this sense of completion
and in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I found my way home
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe."
"This had to have been their little creation," Jeff decided.
"Ya wanna hear the worst part?" I asked with a laugh. He nodded and I continued. "I picked out the song for this dance."
"Oh man! You didn't!" Jeff laughed. I chuckled as I nodded my head on his chest.
"I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life."
"Case, I have to be honest with you. I'm not hating this," Jeff said.
"Me either," I sighed softly.
"A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I found you
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life."
"Thanks for the dance," I said as I looked into his eyes. He moved his head towards mine and placed his soft lips on mine. The kiss was nothing. Just another kiss, like we do for the show. There was nothing spectacular about it. I walked away from him and into Shane's arms. "I love you."
"I love you too," Shane said in almost a shocked tone.
"Why do you sound so shocked?" I asked.
"I don't know. I guess I'm just a little upset that that wasn't my hand up your dress," he answered.
"Well, later on, that could," I said wiggling my eyebrows.
"Can we leave now!?" Shane exclaimed in a squeak.
"I don't think that would be very nice. I'm sure you can wait just a little while," I laughed.
About an hour later, we were on the floor for the last dance of the nite. The most romantic song, in my mind, played. It was chosen by me, once again, "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers. Shane and I got lost in the moment as we moved to the music together. We continued to dance even after the song was over.
"Are you two comin out to say goodbye to Amy and Matt?!" Trish asked as she and Tim walked up to us. I looked at her and smiled as I realized that the song had ended.
"They're leaving already?!" I asked as I grabbed Shane's hand and pulled him outside with me, just in time to see them drive off for the airport in their limo.
"Guess we'll just have to see em when they get back. Now, onto what we discussed earlier," Shane said as he ran off towards the car, dragging me with him. I laughed as we jumped into his car and drove off for his house.
