I have never met Team Starkid. I love them all and this is just fiction, none of it is true.
Darren's POV
I sighed as I unlocked the door, happy to be home after a long day at work. Sure, the glee set was amazing and fun, but I've missed those random weekly calls I'd get from the Starkids during one of their rehearsals.
"Joey! Brian! I'm hooome!" I called out to my two roommates. Apart from them, Lauren Lopez was the only Starkid that still talked to me, which I didn't really understand at all, considering what happened had absolutely nothing to do with me. And even she called only once since September, which ended up being a butt dial anyway. I smiled as I walked into our kitchen, expecting to see the two 22 year olds finish our Christmas decorating. Instead, they were both sitting at the table and staring at a piece of paper.
"What are you guys looking at?" I asked.
"Dare, did Lauren ever mention having a boyfriend?" Brian questioned me, ignoring my own question.
Now was my turn to look confused. "Not the last time we talked, but that was a while ago. Why? What's going on?"
Joey handed me the sheet. "This is going on."
The paper ended up being an invitation. A stripe of light blue ran down the side of it, and on the bottom were the words "Save the Date"

I felt my jaw drop to the ground. Since when was Lolo and B-Hol dating?
Walker's POV
Record Wisdom.
There it was again. I past it every single day I walked to my job as a waiter on the Applebee's down by 143rd street.
I stopped right in front of the door that opened to the small stop, and looked inside.
There she was. Lauren Lopez.
She looked just as I remembered. Just like how she did almost three months earlier.
Lauren was sitting in a chair behind the counter. A man with curly blonde hair sat next to her, and a woman with blonde hair sat on the counter facing them.
It was so weird, how for months he had no problem walking down this street. But now, after he learned that Lauren and Brian went there too- I just couldn't help but stop outside this door everyday. And everyday, I would look inside, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of my old best friends. Lauren seemed to be here more often than Brian.
Brian.
Were they really engaged? I wasn't completely sure I was hearing them right, I was on the other side of the store, after all. But they were talking about baby names. And Lauren mentioned Brian's mother. And the ring.
I lifted my arm, about to enter. Closing my eyes, I begged myself to do something I haven't been able to the past three months. Open the door.
Come on, Walker, I willed myself, for some reason feeling nervous. Suddenly, I felt the door pull open and I couldn't believe that I actually did it!
"Joe?"
I opened my eyes, yelled, and fell in surprise. Lauren's giggles caused me to look up at her from my seat on the sidewalk.
"Would you care to tell me why you've been staring at my cousins and I for over 15 minutes?" Lauren asked, raising an eyebrow and shutting the door behind her.
"You should put on a coat, it's freezing out here." I replied, suddenly feeling very stalker-ish. "I...uh, well... I've been trying to work up the guts to talk to you and/or Holden."
"Oh." She suddenly seemed lost in thought. Then she shook her head and looked back at me. "Well, we're talking now, aren't we?"
"It appears so, Lopez." I stood up. The ring on her finger glistened in the sunlight. "So... Who's the lucky guy?" I motioned towards it.
Lauren smacked a hand to her forehead. "Oh yeah! Wait here!" She ran inside, only to run back out not even a minute later. She handed me an envelope.

"You and Brian were dating?" I asked, even though my suspicions have just been confirmed. The petite girl avoided my eyes and answered, "Yeah." She then looked at me again. "We're getting married!"
Brian's POV
"Don't you think it might be a little..."
"A little what?"I questioned my sister Katie over the phone.
"Well.. We don't know how well mom will be in June, is what I'm trying to say."
I bit my lip and sighed. "For all we know she could be better." I heard my voice crack.
"Bri-"
"Katie, I don't want to talk about this. It was the earliest date we could get with the venue, okay?"
"No, Brian, listen! Dad told me something yesterday that I think you should know. Don't worry, it's not about mom."
"Then what?"
"So Dad was in the hospital cafeteria and these two people wearing a suit and a white dress came in. Dad started talking to them and it turns out that they were getting married at the hospital!"
"What?!"
"He says it was because the girl's sister had cancer and apparently wasn't going to attend the wedding. So, the hospital has this program where they can elope in the room! And then they would help you fill out the paperwork to give to the guy who will be marrying you at the ceremony, to explain everything since you can really only get married once. You guys should see if you can do that!"
I felt tears prick the back of my eyes as my lips urged themselves to reply, "Holy crap yes!". Instead, I said, "I'll ask Lauren about it."
Yayy an update! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW! The more review I have the faster the update, I promise!
