A/N- Almost done! A few more chapters. I apologize if I offended anyone with the last chapters. I didn't mean to. I would up the rating, but there won't be anything else like that, so there's not much point. I did put a notice at the beginning of that chapter. I'm soooo sorry it took so long to get this posted. I have been so swamped with homework. AND my computer was messed up. Hopefully the next chapter will be up right after this, but I'm not promising anything…Now for reviews…

DaisyDuke87: I'm glad you liked it! I know what you mean! It's something I would do too! Enjoy the chapter!

Kylie90210: Thanks for the review! Keep reading!

Cute Togepi: I'm very sorry if I offended you. I really wasn't sure what to rate this story in the first place. I tried to put more description in the last chapter, but I guess it didn't work. I'll do my best in this chapter.

Fallen Flower: Yeah, definitely roller coasters for me too. Why would you want to be in a crowed night club when you can be on a roller coaster screaming your lungs out with just your friends? Glad you had a fun birthday. I love koalas! They are so cute!

Chapter 9: Wedding Countdown- 48 hrs.

The three couples were up early; after all there was so much to do with the wedding just 2 days away! They all helped make omelets, and then sat down to double check Mary Anne's "To Do" list. The Spiers had gone to a friend's house so Mary Anne could use their house as Wedding Headquarters.

"Okay," said Mary Anne, "Let's go over my list to make sure I haven't forgotten anything. Music?"

"Anna and her friends with the orchestra." Said Mal.

"Cake?"

"Abby's assistant is driving it over." supplied Jessi.

"Dress?"

"Ready and waiting at Stacey's." said Mal.

"Bridesmaids and groomsmen?"

"All paired up. Dawn and Alan, Jessi and Quint, Mal and Ben, and Kristy and Bart. And all sober, hopefully." Said Logan.

"Oh, crap." Mary Anne muttered. "I forgot about that."

"Maybe we should see if they're awake." Suggested Ben.

"Sure. Come on, let's try Claud's." agreed Mary Anne.

They trooped across the street and rang the doorbell. Claudia answered and waved them in without a word. There were sleeping bags all over the living room. Everyone was just waking up.

"You guys! It's almost 10! Come on, now! There's work to do." Exclaimed Mary Anne.

"Hey. You didn't stay up partying." Mumbled Kristy.

"That's right. I didn't." said Mary Anne coldly.

That woke her up. And everyone else too. Mary Anne was never cold.

"Look, Mary Anne, we're sorry. We thought you'd grown up some. Apparently not. It won't happen again." Said Stacey sarcastically.

Mary Anne turned white, and her eyes filled with tears. She ran out of the room.

"You should be ashamed of yourself, Stacey McGill!" seethed Logan, his eyes flashing. "And so should the rest of you! She's more mature than all of you put together! Do you know how much courage it took for her to walk out on her supposed best friends? At least Mal and Jessi were there for her, just like Ben and Quint were for me. You are her best friends, and you planned something like that party for her? I thought you knew her better than that. And being unselfish like she always is, she was willing to forgive and forget. But now you've really hurt her." He hurried out to find his fiancée, with Mal, Jessi, Ben, and Quint close behind.

"Wait," said Mal. "Let's wait on the porch and give them a moment."

Logan went straight to the barn. He knew that's where she would be. He heard sniffling from the loft, so he climbed up. He spotted Mary Anne in the corner, looking thirteen again.

"I thought I grew out of being such a crybaby," she said as he crawled over to her. "I haven't done this in years. But, Logan that really hurt."

"I know, sweet." He said hugging her tight. "And you are not a crybaby. You are a sensitive girl and that's part of what makes you so kind and caring. That's part of why I'm glad you're my girl." He put a finger under her chin and made her look at him. "And you know they are regretting what they said. Cause they know how wonderful you are." He looked into those lovely brown eyes and smiled. "Well, I think I should get a reward for all that, don't you?" he teased. She laughed and leaned in for his kiss.

Meanwhile…

After the two youngest couples left, there was silence in the Kishi home.

"Wow." Said Kristy. "I don't think I've ever seen Logan that mad before."

"He had a right to be." Said Stacey's muffled voice. Her head was in her hands. "Man, I was an idiot!"

"We all were, Stace." Said Sam quietly, placing his hand on her shoulder. He looked around. "We were all stupid. We were supposed to know them better that anyone. We knew they wouldn't appreciate those parties. Even I knew, and I didn't know them as well as some of you."

"I feel terrible." Whispered Claudia.

"We all do. Wait, I have an idea…" said Kristy.

Later that Day…

Mary Anne, Mal, and Jessi were planning Mary Anne's makeup and hair. They were trying out different looks to see which she liked best. Ben and Quint were helping Logan shop for a special surprise for Mary Anne. The doorbell rang, so Mary Anne answered it. She found a bouquet of flowers of the door step.

"Mal, Jessi, look at this!" called Mary Anne. The card said, 'To Mary Anne and Logan' She opened it.

Logan and Mary Anne,

These are to apologize for how stupid we were. We knew you would not enjoy such parties, but we wanted to have fun anyway. We were very selfish. We are very sorry. Will you please forgive us?

All our love,

Sam and Stacey, Bart and Kristy,

Claudia and Alan, Dawn and Rob, and

Abby.

Just then, the three boys walked in. Silently, Mary Anne handed Logan the card. When he looked up, they both smiled.

"Let's go." Said Mary Anne. "We've got a wedding to plan."
