A Dream Come True, Not!

Chapter five:- Plans

I have a feeling that the story may go a little down hill in this chptr, i'm to confident on my abilities to write good stories while Jimmy and Cindy are together so...

Cindy woke up in the morning and smiled as she stretched out in her bed. She recalled last night everything that happened. She hadn't spoken of her father (except to Libby) until last night and she had never opened up to anyone that much. Even with Libby she didn't cry as much. To be safe in Jimmy's arms after opening up to him just made her feel happy. She slowly got out of bed and got dressed.

She had called Libby when she got home last night and told her everything. Everyone (meaning Sheen, Carl, Libby, Jimmy and Cindy) was getting together today to start making wedding plans that her mother hadn't already desided. Cindy's mother had already desided a lot. She had already picked the kind of flowers that would be at the tables, that it would be outside not in a church, that it would start at 5 P.M., well mainly everything except the place and the band but even once the gang thought of something, it had to be approved.

She went downstairs and left for the lab where everyone was meeting. She knocked on the lab door and she stood there for less then a second until the ground dropped from beneath her. She slid down a sliding tube like thing before falling into the lab. Jimmy was under the end of the tube and caught her. (It looks like he picked her up bridal style)

"You know, I like it when you catch me like this instead of letting me fall to the ground." Cindy said smiling.

"I'd never let you fall." He leaned down and kissed her. He put her down then walked over to a table filled with possible wedding places and bands. "Should we wait for the others or get started looking at places and bands?"

"I think we could start without them. I mean it is our wedding." She went over and sat down by the table and started looking over ideas. She looked over the few choices they had. The only ones she liked were at the park, by a river just outside of town, or in her backyard. "I like these ideas." She said as she pushed the pictures towards him.

"You're backyard?" He questioned. It didn't sound all that romantic or interesting.

"Yeah. It makes me feel at home and..." She saw the look he was giving her which showed that choice was out. "Fine. Well what about the others?"

"The river doesn't sound all that bad but I'd want to look at it first and I think I'm okay with the park idea but I don't know."

"Alright, one- why don't you like the park? And two- you're starting to sound like my mother." She started imitating her mom. "Oh I need to look at the place first. I need to approve it. I need to do this and that and take away whatever freedom you have." He put his hand on her shoulder to chill her out.

"Cindy, relax would ya?" Jimmy asked

"Sorry. It's just that it's one week! You know? One week is not enough to plan a wedding!"

"Well thankfuly for us, your mother has desided most of the wedding already." He tried to make it sound like a joke but it didn't quite work out. "Okay look back to the park thing. I don't think I want the wedding at the park because that's like our place."

"Yeah so it's a great place to get married! It's our special place. We should celebrate our love there. It's the first place we kissed which would make it the perfect place." She tried to explain but she seemed to continue to repeat the same points over and over.

"Look I understand that. It just doesn't seem all that right. I don't want anyone else there. Let's just rule that one out. Okay?" Cindy sighed and finaly agreed.

"So we're gonna have to go with the river then."

"Well what about this one?" He slid a piture toward her.

"That's on top of a hill which means all of our guests would be falling backwards because their chairs would be falling back." She threw the picture behind her. "That would have been stupid."

"Well excuse me for making an opinion." Just then the rest of the gang fell into the lab. "Hey guys." He greeted. They walked up to see the pictures of places and names of bands. "I think we've desided on a place but we're not a hundred percent sure yet."

"Hmm... Where did you guys deside?" Libby asked. Cindy held up the picture of the river side.

"It's a river just outside of town." Cindy said.

"I like that idea. So have you guys desided on a band?" They both shook their heads. "Well how about Graystar?"

"My mother already said that they weren't an option." Cindy replied shaking her head. "She really wanted some band I've never heard of."

"Isn't this your wedding not hers? Why is she making all the desisions?" Carl asked.

"I don't know." Cindy sighed. "I think she's lost her mind."

"No kidding." Sheen chimed in. "Now I know where you get it from." Cindy just gave him a hateful glare. Sheen hid behind Libby but she just rolled her eyes.

"Hey what about this band?" Carl pointed out then read the name to himself. "The Aces..." (A/N: I just made that up any relation to any real music band is beyond my knowledge)

"I've heard of them!" Libby yelled "They'd be perfect. They'll play any kind of songs from like any band. Just send them the songs you want."

"That actualy sound like a good idea." Jimmy said.

"Well I should have these approved by my mom. I'll be back as soon as I can." Cindy walked out of the lab and into her house. "Okay mom. We've desided on-" She was cut off by the sound of her mother yelling to someone on the phone.

"I don't care! You're not invited and it's invitation only! You might as well not even come into to town because I won't allow it! Good-bye!" She slammed the phone down on the reciever and turned around. "Oh Cindy. I didn't hear you come in."

"Who was that?" Cindy asked.

"Oh no one important. So what did you want?"

"We desided on the river outside of town and The Aces." Cindy's mother frowned.

"I don't think that's the best idea I was thinking more along the lines of the hill and the band Sweet Candles." (A/N: once again i just thought of that name now)

"Why'd you even ask for our opinion then?" Cindy asked as tears started to coat her eyes. "Why are you making all the desisions? This is my wedding not yours!"

"One day you'll do the same thing for your children! So don't start yelling at me! It will be on the hill and the band will be Sweet Candles!"

"NO!" Cindy shot back at her mother. "I'M PUTTING MY FOOT DOWN! WE WILL HAVE SOME SAY IN OUR OWN WEDDING! GOT IT?" She yelled tears pouring out of her eyes. Her mother drew her shoulders back and stood as straight as possible. "It will take place by the river and The Aces will be playing the songs WE want!" Cindy said a little more calmly. Cindy walked back to the lab wiping away the tears without a reply from her mother.

"So what did she say?" Carl asked when she walked in.

"It's okay. Jimmy and I will make up a list of songs and we'll send it to them."

"Let's just hope with a one week's notice they'll be able to make it." Libby said walking towards the door. "We need that list A.S.A.P. so we'll let you get started." They all walked out. Jimmy sat her down on the couch.

"Okay what's wrong?" He asked

"What do you mean?"

"I can tell you were crying." He took her hand in his.

"I just started yelling at my mom. She didn't want to approve our choices. She wanted it to be on the hill and she wanted Sweet Candles." Cindy leaned back and sighed. "It's like she doesn't want us to have any say what so ever. It's annoying me a lot. I also heard her yelling at someone on the phone about how something was invitation only and they might as well not come into town."

"Who was she talking to?"

"I don't know. I just hope this ends soon and we'll get some kind of voice in this."

"Yeah me too. Do we even get to make our own vows?"

"I don't even want to think about that." They smiled and he pulled her into a warm loving embrace. "C'mon we need to pick out some songs."

There's another suprise in the next chptr that will make all of you think someone really is insane. Some of you might even be able to guess it.
