"Rio, you remember The Misfits don't you?" Jerrica asked.
"No, you're putting me on. Who are they really?" Rio asked.
"Do we actually have to break into song? Cause we didn't bring any equipment so we'll have to do it accapella," Phyllis said.
"Rio, how can you not recognize us at all?" Mary asked.
"Stormer?" Rio asked, moving his face close to hers and staring into her eyes, searching for recognition.
"Hey, he's not so dense after all," Roxy said, causing Phyllis to smack her upside the head. "Hey," Roxy cried.
"Now I recognize them," Rio said. Jerrica laughed out loud.
"So, where is everyone? This party seems pretty dead," Roxy said.
"Everyone is inside. Which is where we were just heading," Jerrica said, opening the door for the small group.
"So Rio, what have you been up to?" Mary asked.
"I'm married and have a little boy. Come meet my wife. I've told her all the stories about you guys," Rio said.
"Alright, where is she? Now it's our turn to share some stories," Phyllis said, rubbing her hands together.
"Hey guys. How are you?" Kimber asked as she walked up to the three women.
"Glad it's not me getting married," Roxy said.
"I'll drink to that," Phyllis said, pouring her and Roxy each a glass of wine. "Now, I will propose a real toast. And no laughing Roxy, this could border on mushy so keep quiet. To my good friend Jerrica and to her soon to be ball and chain, I mean husband, good luck to you both. Let's make this one a keeper," Phyllis said, raising her glass. Everyone else in the room followed suit. "Here, here," they cried, laughing hysterically.
Rio stepped forward next. "I too would like to say something. Jerrica, we go way back. I've known you since you were ten. Life has thrown us a lot of curves but the one thing that hasn't changed is our friendship. So, as your friend I want to say that I hope that you will be as happy as Sarah and I have been and that you are blessed with a family as wonderful as mine. Ri.sorry, Rory, take care of her and never break her heart. Or you'll have to answer to all of us," Rio said, sweeping his glass around the circle of people standing in the kitchen.
"Ahem, alright, as the sister I guess I should say something. Jerrica, as a great man once said, "what a long strange trip it's been." Through it all we've always had each other, even when we didn't have anyone else. Remember to stay true to yourself no matter what. Rory, I have to admit, you're a pretty great guy. Jerrica is lucky to have found you. I don't have to tell you to be good to her. I know you will," Kimber said, walking forward and hugging her sister and soon to be brother-in-law. Everyone raised there glasses and one by one said something to the happy couple to wish them well. It was almost two in the morning when the party finally broke up.
"No, you're putting me on. Who are they really?" Rio asked.
