Chapter 6 *Third person`s POV*

"Vera?"

"Well, well, Victor. Long time, no see."

"I`m not sure of what to say to you."

"How about 'I wish that I had never re-employed that little weirdo and you should have stayed'?"

Victor was struggling. Trudy was glaring with tears in her eyes. Jasper looked ready to kill Vera. Mara was furious. The other two girls were furious.

"I may not like Trudy that much, but she is worth a thousand of you, Vera."

Trudy started crying.

Lissie just looked stunned as she said "Vera, I think it best if you left. No body needs this, now."

"Aw, look who just started caring about idiots."

"I`m concerned for my friends, not you."

Vera looked her niece in the eye. Lissie just glared at her.

"OK, Elissa. I`ll leave. But I promise you, this is not the last time you`ll be seeing me."

"One can only hope that you`ll leave her friends be."

"Oh, Lissa, I don`t want to harm them. I was only going to... oh, scrap it. I`ll see you later."

She stormed out. Lissie burst into tears. Mara went to her.

"Lissie?"

"I can`t believe that I did that!"

"Look, Liss, you were trying to protect your friends."

"She`s my auntie! What the heck have I done?!"

"It`s OK. Chill out. She hurt your friends once before."

"SHE DID WHAT?!"

"OK, this is a bit stupid of me..."

"I`ll say that it`s stupid of her! Who did she hurt? I`ll paste her!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. You aren`t pasting anyone! Chill!"

Trudy and Jasper were scared as Lissie screamed.

"I will not just chill! She hurt my friends?! Grr!"

It took them a while, but they eventually calmed her down.

(TIME LAPSE:THREE MONTHS LATER, September 12TH)

*MARA`S POV*

I was sat in my room. Patricia, Joy, Amber, Nina, Mandy and the boys had all gone home. Only Lissie, Trudy, Jasper, Victor and I remained in Anubis. The holidays were over, but Victor had told them they had to come back in January, as Trudy`s twins were due in December and she needed rest. The wedding was to take place soon. We spent at least 2 hours a day planning.

"Mara, sweetie! Come on, we`re going shopping."

I ran to Trudy. She was stood waiting, Lissie next to her.

"Where are we going?"

"Dress shopping! My bridesmaids need dresses! The theme is green. And I`m talking emerald."

"Is this down to your love of shopping?"

"Nope, just that I think green suits you."

Well, we are brunettes.

"OK."

We jumped into Trudy`s Mini One. She only used it for shopping alone.

We got to the shop. High-priced designer dresses?

Trudy led us in. A shop assistant came to us.

"Oh, Trudy! You here to pick up your dresses?"

"I am, yes. Mara, Lissie, I`d like you to meet a good friend of mine. Sara, this is Lissie Starworth and Mara Jaffray. Girls this is Sara Londman."

We shook hands with Sara. She was a redhead, dressed in vanilla and gold.

"You look incredible, Sara!"

"Looking at you, I say 'Check the mirror Trudy. You look great yourself. Blue is most definitely your colour.'"

Trudy laughed.

"Here`s your dresses. There`re dressing rooms over there."

Trudy gave us the dresses. Mine was my size 6. Lissie`s was size 8.

I changed into the dress. It looked beautiful. She`d chosen such a gorgeous dress. I walked out and saw Lissie.

"Agh, Mars, that is so cute on you!"

"Look at you! Mega great!"

Trudy said from behind us "Oh, girls, you look gorgeous!"

We turned and saw Trudy. She looked stunning. Her dress hung loose and trailed on the ground.

"Trudes, you look amazing!"

"Wow! That looks beautiful on you! He is so lucky to have such a beautiful bride."

It truly suited her.

*TRUDY`S POV*

My bridesmaids looked amazing in their green dresses. My dress wasn`t that revealing, which I liked.

"Ooh, look at you!"

Sara walked in.

"You look so gorgeous!"

I felt like a princess. I haven`t felt like this before.

"Are you OK?"

"I... I just... This is so fantastic. I always wanted to be a princess. It finally feels like I am."

The girls said "You look like one. You`re so pretty."

I didn`t care about appearances, I hugged them.

(TIME LAPSE: ONE WEEK LATER)

I dressed in the wedding dress. The two girls came in and styled my hair. Then pinned the veil in with a diamond tiara.

"There, have a look."

I saw myself, but in princess form.

(At the church.)

We stood in the empty doorway. I peeked in and saw a full hall. Oh, gosh, I am not cut out for this!

"Trudes?"

"What am I thinking? I can`t do this!"

"Course you can! Just focus on Jasper, you`ll be fine. Pretend it`s just the two of you, alone."

Lissie added "You know, he`s probably just thinking the same. He`s probably worried too, he`ll be thinking of you."

I hope so. The music started and we walked in. The organ played 'Here Comes The Bride.'

Victor took hold of me. I started shaking. I was grateful to have him there, in case I fainted on the way. I saw Jasper and he smiled at me. I suddenly blotted out the whole room and just focused on him.

I reached the altar.

"Who gives this woman to marry this man?"

"I do."

Jasper took hold of my hand. I smiled at him.

The vicar said something to us. We agreed to it.

He said something else and we agreed to that, too.

After we`d agreed to all the vows, we put on the rings. I almost cried.

"I now pronounce you as man and wife. You may kiss the bride."

He kissed me. We came apart and giggled. We went to our reception, where we signed our wedding papers.

(TIME LAPSE: DECEMBER 12TH)

I was stood cooking our supper. Doesn`t sound too interesting, I know. I was just bored. Then, I went to call out for the others.

Lissie had taught me a carol in Irish, which sounded beautiful, and very appropriate.

"Plataforma os salóns con ramas de acivro. Tra la la la la. É a estación a ser alegre. Tra la la la la. Don Agora noso vestiario gay. Tra la la la. Vasculham a antiga Yuletide Carol. Tra la la la. Vexa o Yule chamas diante de nós. Tra la la la. Golpear a arpa e xuntar-se ao coro. Tra la la la. Siga-me na medida alegre. Tra la la la. Mentres eu contar de tesouro Nadal. Tra la la la. Rápido lonxe o ano vello pasa. Tra la la la. Garda o novo vós mozos e mozas. Tra la la la. Cantar alegre que todos xuntos. Neglixente do vento e do tempo. Tra la la la la, la la la."

I sang it as I walked.

Then I called "OK, you lot. Dinner`s ready!"

They came down.

Jasper said "The lovely sound of my darling wife`s voice."

I playfully punched his arm and said "Your dinner`s done."

"Your cooking is just as fantastic as you."

I stuck my tongue out at him.

He said "Trudy, I want to pick you up and fling you around, but I don`t think that it`s a good idea as the twins are due soon."

"I`m beginning to think that maybe they want to come, and most likely, now."

I felt a sharp twinge. Like very sharp, and it lasted for at least 3 seconds.

"What are you on about?"

"I have no idea. All I know is I have this pain and it`s sharp."

"Oh, God."

"I know... ow!"

(TIME LAPSE: TWO HOURS LATER)

I lay on the bed, my children lay in my arms. Robert and Cheryl. They looked so sweet.

"Aw, Trudy. I have to get a picture of this."

He took a photo (or 50) then we had our dinner.

Then came a loud knock...

So there we are. Another chapter. I have to go. Please R&R. Until next update, RandomDizzy. :D
