"What?" Fox asked unbelieving. "She was arrested? For what?"

"Ethan said that Syd Valentine claimed Whitney attacked her. Syd pressed charges, and now Whitney's at the L.A. police station."

"I can't believe this!" Fox said.

"We need to go down there." Theresa said urgently. "We have to bail her out of there."

After saying a quick goodbye to Dylan, Theresa and Fox sped to the police station. They found Chad arguing with one of the officers. A look of relief came over Chad when he saw Theresa and Fox. "Whitney's bail is ten-thousand dollars."

"Where are we going to get that money?" Theresa asked.

Fox looked at Theresa. "Are you kidding? I'm a Crane remember? I just have to make a few phone calls. Be right back." Fox left while Theresa, Chad, and Ethan waited. Theresa paced nervously. "Did Whitney really attack Syd?" Theresa asked.

"I'm afraid so." Chad replied. He rubbed his eyes. "I can't believe this is happening."

"Why would Whitney do that?" Theresa asked.

"Syd just rubbed Whitney the wrong way, and Whit just snapped." Chad explained.

"It doesn't seem like Whitney to attack someone," Ethan spoke up. Theresa nodded in agreement. "Hey, Theresa," Ethan said quietly pulling her aside. "Did you find out yet, about the~ " He trailed off glancing quickly at Chad. Chad looked at them with an odd expression. "About that test?" Ethan whispered. Theresa felt that it wasn't the time to talk about the results. "No, Ethan. It's been delayed for awhile."

"Delayed? Why?" Ethan asked.

"They didn't really say~" Theresa trailed off. "They said it might take awhile."

"I'll call them~"

"No!" Theresa interrupted. Ethan gave her a questioning look. "Um, it'll just prolong the delay. Just be patient all right?"

"But Theresa~" Ethan said. "Aren't you anxious to find out?"

"What are you two talking about?" Chad asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Ethan and Theresa replied at the same time.

"Okay, I've got it." Fox replied walking back to the group. "Who do I talk to about this bail business?" Chad pointed and Fox went over to pay Whitney's bail. Chad followed him and soon Whitney was released. "Oh Chad!" Whitney cried as she ran into his arms. Fox frowned. That should be me, He thought sullenly. Whitney hugged Theresa next.

"I can't believe they arrested you!" Theresa cried.

"I know!" Whitney said. "It's all because of that~ never mind. I'm not going to get worked up over that anymore. I'm just want to get out of here."

Once they got back to the apartment, Whitney and Theresa decided to spend the rest of the day planning for the wedding. Theresa thought it could take their minds off what happened and decided that it would be best if they used Dylan's apartment. Meanwhile, Chad decided to have a talk with Fox.

"Hey man." Chad said once Theresa and Whitney left.

"What's up?" Fox asked as he sat on the couch reading the L.A. Times.

"Thanks for what you did today. I owe you one."

"No problem." Fox replied. "Glad I could help. Besides, what are friends for?"

"Yeah." Chad obviously had something on his mind. He decided that it was the best time to tell Fox. "To be honest, I freaked when I found out that you were in love with Whitney. After you had told me that it was just an infatuation, I was relieved, yet still skeptical about your feelings towards her."

Fox wanted to roll his eyes. Instead he said, "I don't love Whitney." He lied.

"Right." Chad replied. "Look, are we cool again?"

"Sure." Fox said.

"All right. Hey, there's this event that I have to go to with Syd. My boss told me I could invite more guests. I guess Vivian probably figured Syd and I could have a cortege of people following us in. Ya know, to make us seem important. Anyhow, you should come. I want Whitney to go, but since I'm stuck with Syd, I'd like for you to look out for her that night."

Fox was shocked at the suggestion. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah." Chad said. "So, will you?"

"As long as it's okay with Whitney." Fox said inwardly overjoyed.

Ethan had listened to Chad and Fox's conversation and thought, I wouldn't trust Fox, Chad.

~*~

"So, you're having a small wedding." Theresa observed.

"Yeah," Whitney sighed. "It's not going to be a lot of people there. I'm still hoping my family will come around and forgive me. I would really love to be married in Harmony and have all my family and friends there."

"Your family will come around in time." Theresa said. "Just be patient."

"I know, but I'd like to get married as soon as possible." Whitney moaned. "I love Chad so much!"

Theresa laughed. "I understand, but don't worry. You will be married to Chad sooner or later."

"Hopefully sooner." Whitney said as she flipped through bridal magazines. Whitney's cell rang. She reached over and answered it. "Hello?"

"Whit, is it all right if Fox accompanies you to that event Vivian was talking about?" Chad asked without greeting her first.

Whitney was speechless. "Are you okay with that?" She asked curiously.

"I suggested it. I wanted him to look out for you that night."

"I dunno, Chad" Whitney said reluctantly.

"I'm fine with it." Chad replied. After a little more coaxing from Chad, Whitney finally agreed. She hung up the phone and looked at her friend. "What was that about?" Theresa asked.

"You see, today, Vivian told Chad that he and Syd have to go to this big event with all these famous important people in the music business. Chad has to go with Syd, and he just convinced me to have Fox go as my escort."

"What?" Theresa asked enviously. "You're going with Fox?"

"It appears so." Whitney said. "I wish you could come."

"I'm going with Dylan." Theresa replied.

"Oh," Whitney said surprised. "Who invited you?"

Theresa was about to say Fox, but decided against it. "Um, one of Dylan's buddies."

"I see." Whitney said. "Well, I don't have anything to wear. What about you?"

"Nope." Theresa said. "Nothing."

"I think this is the perfect excuse to go shopping." Whitney smiled.

"I'd say you're perfectly right. Let's tell the guys."

Whitney and Theresa giggled like school girls and ran to Fox's apartment. "Hey guys!" Whitney said enthusiastically.

"Why are you so happy?" Chad asked Whitney smiling.

Maybe because I'll be her date for that special night. Fox thought to himself.

"We have nothing to wear for that special event." Theresa said.

"You're going Theresa?" Chad asked.

"Yeah," Theresa said glancing at Fox. "A friend invited me." Ethan looked curiously from Theresa to Fox.

 "Well, I'd say you two gals might want to go shopping, right?" Chad asked.

"Have I told you how much I love you?" Whitney said giving Chad a kiss on the cheek.

"What's going on out here?" Gwen asked entering the room.

 "Oh hey, Gwen." Chad said. "We were just talking about this big event we're going to. The girls want to go dress shopping."

"I see." Gwen said. "Would this be the same event Ethan and I are going to?"

"Sounds like it." Ethan said. Theresa, Whitney, Chad, and Fox all had surprised looks on their faces. "Vivian invited Gwen and me." He clarified.

"Well isn't this a coincidence?" Fox said.

"I don't have anything to wear either." Gwen said leaning against Ethan.

"You know, what?" Fox said. "I think I can take care of the girls' dresses and our tuxes." He said to the guys.

"More connections?" Ethan asked remembering how easy it was to get people to do things for you when they knew you were a Crane. Sometimes he missed those privileges.

"Bingo." Fox said. "I just have to sweet talk one of the ladies I know who owns a boutique here in L.A. Give me a few minutes." Fox disappeared. The rest of the group waited in the living room. Fox always has a talent for making the ladies swoon. Theresa thought to herself. I just hope Whitney doesn't ever fall for it.

"All right. It's all settled. I even managed for us to travel to the boutique by limo courtesy of Marguerite, the owner of the boutique."

"Amazing." Chad said.

"How'd you get her to do it?" Theresa asked curiously.

"Never mind that." Fox said mysteriously. "Anyhow, why don't we all head outside?"
