A/N: O.K., I was on an updating spree for a while there, and then a bunch of personal stuff happened, and I was very sad for a few days and so…yeah I won't go into to detail and bore you all to death, so here's the next chapter, I think only a few more and this story is sadly coming to an end:'(! lol Anyway….I digress, here's chapter 12.

The next day, Amanda had another wedding planning urge, so she and Drake set out for China Patterns. Although he was happy to be a part of the wedding plans, he was however, not happy with what he had to wear. As an engagement present, Megan bought him a very unusual shirt, it was long, and made out of satin, and it was a weird mixture of yellow and orange. But Amanda thought it was important that he wear it, since it was an engagement present, and they were shopping because of the engagement. Drake didn't argue, Amanda could be very persuasive when she wanted to be.

"What about this one?" Amanda asked Drake, as she held up a white plate with tiny roses on it.

"I told you, as long as I can eat off of it, it's fine." Drake was not happy about spending three hours in a plate store.

"Drake! This is a big deal, these are the dishes we'll look at twenty years from now, and say, 'Oh, these were are our wedding China,' And you're acting like it's just a plate!"

"Not to sound bitter here, but IT IS just a plate!"

Amanda gasped, and said, "No," she said sternly, "It's a mark of OUR WEDDING. Just a plate, IS NOT."

"O.K., I apologize, it is SOOOOOOO much more than JUST a plate, and I am VERY sorry I undermined it's existence,"

"O.K. then." Amanda seemed happy again, as she turned around and picked up two plates, "O.K., I'm thinking of going with either the roses, or the bells," she looked at Drake, "What do you think?"

"Um….roses, no bells. Wait…roses…no!…well…I don't know!"

"O.K., I think we should get both,"

"O.K., that's much easier,"

Amanda laughed, and told the cashier they wanted both.

After that was done, they went to the street corner and pressed the button to make the green hand come up. "Y'know, I really can't wait to be married to you," said Drake.

"Really? That's so sweet, I really can't wait to have a hyphen between Michalka and Parker,"

"What? You're not going to be Amanda Parker?"

"Well, no, because Michalka sounds nice between Amanda and Parker,"

"Alright, whatever, it's your name,"

Amanda rolled her eyes, as she linked arms with Drake as they crossed the street. Just as they reached the center of the road, a car came screeching around the corner, and was coming right for them, Amanda screamed, and braced herself, as Drake did the same, when it stopped suddenly about five inches from them, and gave the driver and passenger whiplash. Amanda stared, mouth a gape, at the car, as the people jumped out. Drake quickly looked at Amanda and said, "Are you O.K.?"

"Yeah, fine, are you?" she answered

"A little, um, wet, but fine otherwise."

Amanda shook her head, and laughed lightly as the people from the car came out, apologizing like mad, and they were both talking at once, saying something about the break being stuck, and it just worked immediately before they hit them, Amanda and Drake nodded in understanding, they were used to Josh talking very fast like that.

"That's O.K., we aren't injured, but when you guys stopped, it looked like you broke your neck." Drake said

"No, we didn't, we're fine, but we're not the ones who had an out of control car come speeding at them one hundred miles an hour," The driver said.

"Right," Drake said, "So, that'll be all, thanks for not hitting us," he said. They nodded, not really sure what else to say, and Drake and Amanda continued across the street.

Just as they were walking down A street, there was a ladder next to a store wall, and a bucket of paint sat atop it. They walked around it, but Drake of course, almost tripped, and hit the side, sending the paint up in the air, and missing their China by about a millimeter.

"No way!" Amanda gaped.

"What?" Drake said

"That paint just missed you, AND our China!"

"So….."

"So, I think that shirt of yours has powers."

"Yes, Amanda, the power to make children cry,"

Amanda rolled her eyes, and said, "Think about it, we don't get hit by a speeding car, you don't get covered in paint, and neither does our China!"

"So, that doesn't mean my ugly shirt has powers."

"Yes it does!"

"Um…..no, actually, that's no where near what it means."

"UH! Whatever,"

They continued down A street, where they met up with Josh.

"What's up fellas?" Josh said, the way he always had

"Not much, Josh," Drake said

"That….that is a lovely shirt you're wearing,"

"Yeah I know, thank Megan."

"No, I'm serious, can I borrow it?"

"Yeah,"

"No, it has powers." Amanda said

"No it does NOT," Drake said

"Yes it does,"

"Really? How do you know that?" Josh asked

"Well, we were almost hit by a car, then paint almost fell on us-" Amanda said

"Wait, you were almost hit by a car?"

"Yes…"

"Well, by who?"

"That's not important, just agree with me,"

"Amand-"

"Josh! You can't just run off like that!" Mindy called after, joining their little pow-wow in the middle of the sidewalk, "So what are we all doing here?"

"Mindy this is Drake, well, you know him, and this is his fiancé, Amanda,"

"Hi," Amanda said

"Hello," Mindy replied

"So now that we all know each other, I want to know how you guys are O.K., if you almost got hit by a car?"

A/N: Not very good, but the wedding is soooooon, && I totally stole the shirt and thing drake said about it having powers, but whatever, it was funny. LOL Anywhoo, more soon.
