This story takes place during the episode "The Newlywed Game." If you notice, there are wedding pictures of Jack and Sue, and that made me wonder what happened when they got those pictures. Lots of Jack and Sue as they are the cutest couple I have ever seen.
As always, read and review, and send me ideas.
This was officially the best day of Lucy's life. Her best friend was getting married to her other close friend. Sure the circumstances weren't the best, but still it was a wedding. And Lucy loved weddings.
Jack and Sue looked like they were thoroughly embarrassed with their current situation. The groom was picking shredded paper out of his hair and off of his desk with a disgruntled look on his face. Sue was trying to avoid Lucy's delighted gaze.
Lucy sauntered over to Bobby and D. "You know, I was thinking. In order to make this more believable, our newlyweds need wedding photos, wedding rings, new furniture, maybe even a reception."
"You know, Luce, I like the way you think. I believe this requires a team outing," Bobby said. He had a mischievous look in his eyes.
"Oh, no. Bobby. Bobby, no. No way!" Jack said, standing up from his desk.
"Oh yes!" Lucy said.
Later, Lucy, Tara, and Sue were in a bridal shop, looking through dozens of white, lacy dresses. Sue looked at her best friend. "I can't believe you talked me into this."
"Actually, I can't believe that we managed to talk Jack into doing this," Lucy said.
Tara giggled. "Yeah, it was surprising how quickly he agreed when he realized you would be wearing a wedding dress."
Sue blushed. "I don't know what you're talking about. We're just friends."
"Not any more, you're not. Now, you're married," Lucy said, her delight obvious. "Now, we have to find you the perfect dress to get the pictures done in. I'm thinking something with lace and a big princess skirt. I want to watch Jack's jaw drop when he sees you."
Sue just rolled her eyes at Lucy and went back to looking through a rack of dresses. Even though her wedding was fake, Sue really did want to look nice. It was, after all, probably the only time she would get to "marry" Jack.
The three friends held up increasingly ridiculous dresses for Sue to try on, their words quickly descending into fits of giggles. They had already spent an hour in the dress shop, and the boys were sure to be getting impatient. It was at this point that Lucy spotted a dress tucked behind a hideous concoction of lace and bows. She pulled it out and held it up.
"I think this is the one," she said quietly. "Sue, Tara, look at this one. It's perfect." And indeed it was. It's simple elegance seemed to have been custom-made for the blonde beauty. "Come on, I want to see you try it on."
A few minutes later, Sue came out of the dressing room. The dress was perfect. "You look absolutely perfect. That dress fits you like a dream." Lucy's voice started to crack a little, and her eyes teared up at the sight of her best friend in the wedding dress.
"You know, Luce, this isn't an actual wedding. But I think you're right. This one is perfect." Sue went back into the dressing room and changed back into her original clothing. She then went up to the attendant and made arrangements to rent the dress for the day.
"Let's go finish getting you ready for the wedding of your dreams, Cinderella," Tara said.
Two hours later, Jack was looking at his watch. He and the rest of the guys were all waiting in a small park that they had agreed to meet at for the wedding photos. The girls were half an hour late. Jack turned to the photographer. "I'm sorry about this. She's usually on time to things like this. I don't know what's keeping her."
The man chuckled. "Son, most women are a little late for their wedding pictures. Something about trying to look just right or like a princess or some other nonsense. Don't you worry about it. She'll probably be here in a few minutes."
At this, Bobby cut in. "Or, she have finally come to her senses and ran off before she had to get stuck with this guy for life."
As luck would have it, this turned out to be the moment the girls drove up. Lucy and Tara came out first, dressed in matching bridesmaid dresses. They were a lovely light blue that seemed to work perfectly for them both. They turned and helped Sue out of the car.
Jack felt his breath catch in his throat. Sue was absolutely stunning in her white dress. He could almost believe that she really was about to make him the happiest man in the world and marry him. He could vaguely hear Myles and Bobby making some kind of remark about how gorgeous the bride looked, but he didn't really pay attention. His focus was solely on Sue as she walked towards him.
"You know, I had that same look on my face when I saw Donna in her wedding dress. You might want to not stare as much, or Sue will know how much you care for her," D said quietly from Jack's left. Jack quickly snapped his mouth shut.
When Sue came up to him, he took her in his arms and whispered, "You look incredible." He did, after all, have to keep up appearances for the photographer.
Sue blushed at his words and murmured a small "thank you." What neither of them noticed were the beaming faces of their coworkers as they watched the two people who had danced around their feelings, looking very much like they were a couple in love.
There were many laughs and catcalls for the rest of the day, particularly when Jack had to kiss the bride. But neither Jack nor Sue minded having their friends there with them. After all, they wanted to relish the day as if it was real.
