A/N- Hi! Long time no update! I'm sorry! I admit I was a little lazy. And a bit discouraged since I wasn't getting many reviews. But then I got some more (thanks Kili of the Forest, Cute Togapi, and Daisy Duke for reviewing!) Apparently, I practically need death threats to update…please don't hurt me! cowers in a corner while menacing looking readers come at her with a bat Here's the update!

Disclaimer: You guys are smart enough to know that I don't own the Baby-Sitters' Club or Lord of the Rings. If I did, I wouldn't be here would I?

Short recap: Logan and Mary Anne have just gotten an apology note from everyone for being so rude.

Chapter 10: Wedding Countdown: 24 hrs.

Mary Anne, Logan, Ben, Mallory, Jessi, and Quint all trooped over to Claudia's. Hugging, tears, and apologies erupted. Soon all was settled and the girls were headed out to buy the veil for Mary Anne's hair. While in the bridal shop, Mary Anne spotted a flower girl's dress. She gave a little shriek.

"Oh, NO!" she moaned.

"What?" said Kristy.

"I forgot the flower girl and ring bearer!" said Mary Anne.

"Well, who could we get on such short notice?" asked Mal.

"Lucy Newton?" Claud suggested.

"Out of town." Said Mary Anne.

"Claire Pike?" said Abby.

"Too old. She's 11." Said Mal. (A/N- I hope I got the ages right.)

"Andrew Brewer?" asked Jessi.

"Too shy," Said Kristy, "and too old."

"Hmmm." Said everyone. A long pause followed.

"Oh, I know!" shouted Kristy. "Emily Michelle! If it's ok with you, Mary Anne."

"Perfect!" exclaimed Mary Anne, "But what about the ring bearer?"

"How about Squirt?" said Dawn. "Your family was planning on coming anyway, right Jessi?"

"Yep. I'm sure Squirt would love to do it."

"Excellent!" said Mary Anne. "Let's get Emily and Squirt and we'll find them outfits."

"I know Squirt already has a tux." Said Jessi, "So we just need to find Emily a dress."

Kristy drove home and picked up Emily Michelle. She was so excited to be in the wedding, she could hardly sit still. When they got to the bridal shop, Emily jumped out of the car straight into Mary Anne.

"Oh, Mary Anne, can I really be in your wedding? Really? Do you mean it?"

Mary Anne laughed. "Of course, Emily! Now, let's see if this dress fits…"

They tried on several dresses and finally decided on a very pale yellow, with a slightly darker yellow sash at the waist. The bridesmaid's dresses were similar, each in a pale blue, green, purple or pink, with a darker sash of the same color above the waist, to make it look older. (A/N- You'll see Mary Anne's dress at the wedding through Logan's POV.)

They bought the billow for the rings, Emily's basket and dress, and Mary Anne's veil. Then Kristy took Emily home and the girls headed back to get ready for the rehearsal and dinner.

At the rehearsal/dinner…..

The Church was humming with the talk and laughter of the wedding party. Mary Anne was patiently trying to tell Emily Michelle that she had to walk down the aisle, not run, when Logan called to her.

"Father John wants to start," he explained.

So they went through the whole ceremony, which went surprisingly well. Besides the fact that Alan had told Squirt that the ring he was carrying was the "one ring of power" and making Squirt throw the pillow down. (A/N- True story. More at the end.) After Alan had gotten a good scolding from Claudia and apologizing to Squirt, they all headed to the Rosebud Café for dinner. The whole upper floor had been rented. After a delicious dinner of lobster, Logan tapped his glass and stood up.

"Can I have your attention, please? I just wanted to thank you all so much for helping with our wedding. You are our closest friends, and our wedding just wouldn't be the same without you."

Amidst thunderous clapping, our happy couple locked eyes and smiled. Mary Anne's heart fluttered. Tomorrow was her wedding day.

A/N- So did you like it? The ring bearer story came from a friend of mine. Her mom was telling us that a friend asked her son to be the ring bearer. He got very quiet, and in a small voice said, "You mean like Frodo?" Poor little boy. He thought he was going to have to fight monsters. It was cute though. Next chapter's the wedding, but I haven't written it yet, and it's going to be pretty long, so I don't know how soon I will be able to update. My birthday's this weekend, so I'll be pretty busy. But I'll do my best, I promise! Please, please, please review! I need lots of encouragement…
