Team Starkid broke up a little over 5 months ago . After a rather nasty fight, the members rarely speak to each other. After living with his parents the past few months, Brian Holden learns something about his mom- she's dying. He's suddenly afraid he won't be able to give her the one thing she always looked forward to- his wedding. This is what happens when an old friend volunteers to help solve his problem, and how they fall in love on the journey while trying to bring the group back together 3 (Completely AU after Starship)I have never met Team Starkid. I love them all and this is just fiction, none of it is true.

Brian's POV

After our little reunion in the park, Lauren and I went out for a late lunch/early dinner/coffee to discuss what this "engagement" actually was. Thinking it over an hour later as I walked back to my apartment I began to realize just how lucky I was. I mean, spending the next year pretending to be in love with someone could be pretty difficult, especially if you just met the person. But thinking of doing this with Lauren made it seem pretty awesome. She was awesome for agreeing with it.

"Hey Don, I have to tell yo-" I began as I unlocked the door, only to stop dead in my tracks.

There, dancing in my tiny living room, wearing only a pizza box around his waist and another as a hat, was my roommate singing into an imaginary microphone, " TO DANCE AGAIN! I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL THESE YEAR TO DANCE AGAIN! NOW, AT ONCE, A CHANCE APPEARS, TO HEAR THE BEAT, SO ONE YOUR FEET! IT'S TIME TO DAAAANCE AGAIN!" Now seeing me at the door, Don smiled, pointed at me, and sang, " C'mon Lupin! Imperio! YOU TAKE TWO FEET! DAMN IT, DANCE LUPIN!"

Instead of dancing, I stood frozen at the doorway. Who showed Don the Potter Musicals? That was the last thing I ever wanted to show my already psycho roommate. "No thanks, my day was crazy enough. I'll be in my room." I made it to my door when I heard Don yell;

"THAT'S ABSURD!"

A smile found its way onto my face as I remembered Joe Moses and I calling everything absurd during AVPS rehearsals. I turn around to face the green eyed man. "You're absurd!"

Don, who was now only about a foot away from me, smiled back. "What did you say?" He asked in a terrible Snape impression.
"I said," I could feel myself falling back into the Lupin character I used while joking around with the Starkids so many times. "You're absurd!"

"That's absurd!" Don declared, and after a seconds hesitation tackled me into my bedroom.

"So, dearest Bri-bear, what did you have to tell me?" Don questioned, apparently not feeling the need to get off of me.

"I'm engaged." I told him, feeling a small smile creep onto my face. It's hard not to smile thinking of that, even if it is a fake engagement.

"Really! Aw, just when I was starting to like you, Loopy Lupin!" Don finally got off of me and leaned against my bed.

"Who told you about the Potter stuff?" He ignored my question, and instead asked, "Well, what's her name!?"

"Lauren Lopez. The girl who plays Draco."

Don's eyes grew bigger in what I'm guessing was surprise, as the next thing he shouted was, "That's my cousin!"

It was now my turn to be surprised. "Really?" This crazy guy is Lauren's cousin?! And I've been living with him for months! Wow, small world.

"Yeah, she told me about the shows yesterday. I was talking to her on the phone this morning! I didn't know she had a boyfriend!"

She didn't. "The person you were yelling at?"

"Yeah. She lost some of my money." Don suddenly looked upset at that thought, but turned his frown upside down not even a second later. "I'm gonna get champagne to celebrate! Congrats, man!" And with that, my roommate jumped up and ran out of my room. I heard the apartment door slam shut a few seconds later.

I wonder if Lauren knows I live with her cousin? As if the short girl could read my mind, I received a call from her not even a minute later.

"Hey, Lo."

"Brian, Emily wants to know when we're moving in together."

"Moving in? Wait, who's Emily?"

"My roommate. And yes! According to her, once you get engaged, you have to move in together!"

This wasn't one of the things we talked about during our late lunch/early dinner/coffee.

"Not everyone moves in together right away. Remember Walker's roommate in college, that guy Thomas? He didn't live with his fiancé."

"That's because they were in college, Brian. You weren't allowed to have boy/girl roommates freshman year."

"…. Well, I guess you can live here. It's not too big though. And I have a roommate, too."

"Do I have to live with some stranger that has a T between his legs?"

I laughed. Lolo always avoided saying "Penis" if she could. I never knew why, though.

"He's not a stranger! He's your cousin!"

"…. Your rooming with Michael? I thought he lived in Ann Arbor still."

"No, not Mike. That guy Don!"

There was silence. Then;

"YOU'RE LIVING WITH DON! OH MY GOD YOU POUR SOUL! He's crazy! And he hates you. He told me himself."

"Gee, telling me this a few months ago might have helped!" Lauren laughed. Her laugh always sounded cute. "And he doesn't hate me anymore, apparently now that he knows I'm Lupin. Oh, and thanks for telling him about the Musicals! Thanks to you I came home just to find Don dancing practically naked in the living room, singing 'To Dance Again'! Then he decides to tackle me and his penis almost went in m-"

"OH MY GOD I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW!" Lauren squealed. "I do not need that picture in my head, Brian Holden!"

I laughed. Next to her laugh, my favorite thing was getting her riled up. Hearing it wasn't as good as seeing it, though.

" Speaking of the naked guy, he just went out to buy some drinks and I don't think he put any clothes on…"

Lauren laughed again. "Wow. Well, if he gets arrested I won't owe him anymore money!"

"Nice, Lolo." I chuckled. This was going to be a fun year.

If you review I'll update quicker! :) Thanks for reading!
