It was four in the morning, and Maureen had been up all night putting together her new dresses. Joanne was sleeping in bed, and Maureen's drawings she tacked up seemed to be daunting her.

But Maureen kept going.

………………

Roger, turned over, and opened his eyes. "I'm getting married today." He whispered. Roger rolled his eyes, and went back to sleep.

………

Mimi opened her eyes. "I'm getting married." Then she rolled over, since she wasn't adjusted to her new bed yet, Mimi accidentally fell off the side. "Shit!"

As Mimi stumbled out of her room, and into the bathroom, she screamed again. Helena was slashing around in the bathtub like she was five and Maureen and Joanne were in robes, fixing their hair.

"Nobody at all had the decency to get me up?" Mimi asked.

"Its seven." Maureen said. "Who is stupid enough to get you up that early?"

Mimi rolled her eyes, and looked at Helena. The tub was over flowing with bubbles.

"What?" Helena asked. "This tub is huge."

"Drain the water, it's my turn!" Mimi shouted.

Collins walked down the hallway. "Its seven guys. Go back bed."

Helena got out of the tub, and straightened her and Maureen's hair. Then she put make-up on Joanne, Maureen and herself. After that, Mimi got out of the tub, and the three if them spent the most time on her hair and make-up.

Mimi put on her dress and Helena helped with the veil. She smiled when Mimi saw herself in the mirror.

"Scary isn't it?" Mimi said breathlessly.

"Yeah." Helena said. "But that's why its fun."

……….

"Roger, we're you planning on getting up at all?" Mark asked.

"Well, eventually yeah." Roger said.

"We have to be at the church in an hour." Mark told him. "Okay, I'm getting up."

…………

Nobody thought that the Cat Scratch Club dancer would walk down the isle, looking like Mimi did. Her cheeks were slightly flushed and her smile was wide.

"Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asked.

Roger smiled. "I do."

"Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do." Mimi said in a hushed tone.

"I declare you man and wife. Roger, you may kiss the bride."

Roger delicately kissed Mimi's lips, and embraced her.

"Yes!" Maureen cried quietly.

Everybody clapped, and Mark and Collins high-fived.

When Mimi and Roger walked down the isle, Maureen followed, but shook in her heels, and started to feel light headed.

"You okay?" Mark asked, looping his arm around her wait. Maureen leaned on him.

"I'm fine." Maureen said.

…………….

"How many of those had you had?" Helena asked Maureen.

"Not many." Maureen said. "Sixteen. Its just champagne." She turned to Joanne. "Let's dance."

Maureen and Joanne stood out in the crowd, but nobody said anything.

"Mark, something's wrong with Maureen." Helena said.

"I don't think so."

"Look at her." She urdged. "Isn't she pale?"

Mark considered. "A little I guess. Maybe you had to much champagne."

"Oh well." Helena said. "Come dance."

An hour later, Maureen looked seriously shaky.

"hey." Mimi said. "You need to sit down."

"Mimi!" Maureen snapped. "I'm fine." She stomped across the reception room, and went over to the bar. With another champagne, she walked across the dance floor. But then she really got dizzy, and started to forget what she was doing.

The last thing that Maureen heard was Roger yelling, "Maureen!"

But then she was falling backwards into a world of blackness.
