Author's Notes: I had a real hard time with this chapter. Sorry for the long wait. I'm warning you now, it might be a little rushed. Hopefully the next chapter won't be like that. Thanks again for the reviews. You guys keep me posting:)

Chapter Two: Planning:

"Congrats you two."

Claire, Charlie, and Jack saw Kate heading towards them. "Hurley tell you?" Jack asked.

"Yeah," Kate answered. "He wanted some help so I pitched in."

"Then the whole group should know by now." said Jack. Kate nodded. He smiled. "Good that's what we wanted."

"Now, that the word is out, what's next?" Claire asked.

"Okay, we're going to have to find a location, bride's maids, maid of honor, bestman-"

"Dude, you better pick me." said Hurley as he returned with the others.

Charlie laughed. "I don't know, I might pick Jack."

Hurley put his hand over his heart, and replied: "That hurts man."

"Well, who else would I pick?" Charlie asked. He turned back to Jack. "Not unless if you really want to. I mean we can probably get away with two bestmen."

Jack smiled. Charlie was a good man. "It's your wedding. Everything is up to you and Claire."

"Who do you want to be your maid of honor and bride's maids?" asked Charlie as he turned to Claire.

"Kate, would you mind?" asked Claire.

Kate smiled. "Not at all. It would be an honor." she replied, hugging her friend.

Claire parted and added: "And I wouldn't mind if Shannon was a braid's maid. After all she's been through I think she deserves a little fun."

"That's a good idea." agreed Jack. "Kate and her could probably also help with decorations and getting you dressed, if they don't mind."

"I don't." Kate said. "I'll go find Shannon and talk to her about it. I'll try to find Sun too, just in case she wants to help."

"Oh, and ask her if she wouldn't mind being another braid's maid." said Claire.

Kate nodded. "I'll be back later." Kate then went to find Sun and Shannon.

"Why she does that, we should start looking for a location." suggested Jack.

The four started to wonder around the island. As they walked, Jack asked: "Do you have any idea when you want to have this wedding?"

Charlie shrugged. "Not sure." he answered. "We don't really have calander."

"Point taken." Jack replied. "How about after we find the local, we'll give it a week to set everything up, but if you need a little bit longer, then so be it."

Kate was on her way to find Sun first. Sun came out of her cave just as Kate walked up to it. "Sun, do you a minute?"

Sun nodded. "I keep hearing about Charlie and Claire's upcoming wedding." Sun replied with a smile. "I'm really happy for them."

"Me too." agreed Kate. "Listen, Claire wants to know if you wouldn't mind being a braid's maid and if you could help with decorations."

"I would love to." Sun answered. Speaking of Claire's wedding, she couldn't help but think of her own and Yun. She missed him dearly but she pushed him aside. There was no use to fixing the past. The two were not meant to be.

Kate noticed the sudden saddness that came across Sun's face. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine, I was just thinking of something." Sun answered her. "Where are Claire and Charlie now?"

"They're out to find a location." replied Kate. "They should be back in awhile. I need to go find Shannon and tell her about it. We should all get together sometime and talk about this."

"Will do."

"I'll see you in awhile then."

Kate went on to find Shannon. She found her alone on the beach. "Shannon?"

Shannon turned around to see Kate before her. Kate noticed that she had been crying a little. She knew how hard it was for her to lose her brother. "What do you want?"

"Did you hear about Charlie and Claire?"

"About them getting married. Yeah, so what?"

Kate looked into her eyes. She saw no light there. It was like all her light had been drained out of her. Kate backed away. "It's not the right time, never mind."

Kate made a mental note to herself to talk to Sayid later. He could probably talk to her. Kate sighed and then made her way back to the caves. By the time she returned, Jack and the other did as well.

"How did it go?" Kate asked them.

"Besides Turniphead crying the whole way, it wasn't that bad." answered Hurley.

"Hey, I'm the only one who can call him Turniphead." Charlie relpied.

Claire sighed. "Enough you two, my son is not a turniphead." said Claire. "Next time we do this, we're going to have to drag Sawyer around with us."

"I doubt he'll do that." Kate said with an eye roll. "Anyway: did you find a spot yet?"

"Yeah," answered Jack. "It's near a waterfall. It's a beautiful view."

"And it's not far from here, so it won't be a terrible walk for the guests." Claire pointed out.

"We could always ask them to move to that area the night before. That way they'll can relax and enjoy the wedding." suggested Charlie.

"Okay," replied Jack, turning to Kate. "Did you find Shannon and Sun?"

"Yes." she answered. "Sun is a go, but Shannon might need more time."

"Then we'll give it to her." Jack told her. "All right, how about we rest up for now, because we still have some work to get done."

"I'm up for some lunch." said Hurley. "I'm starvin'!"

"You're always hungry." Charlie joked.

"Come on, we'll find something." said Claire.

The group of islanders went to find some food. They would need the rest. As Jack said, there would be a lot of work to get done.
