"Seriously? She leaves us alone for six years and could possibly be returning to ruin your wedding. She's not really known for her timing" Philby said, looking frustrated.

"Believe me, I've wondered that same thing" Finn said.

"Maybe it's all really just a dream, I mean, she's messed with our heads before" Maybeck pointed out.

"Yeah, but that was all of us at the same time, I was the only one who experienced this horror" Finn said, feeling overwhelmed.

"Or maybe it's really nothing to worry about" Philby said, receiving stupid looks, "Yeah, right."

"You should've told Amanda" Maybeck said quietly.

"I agree" Philby nodded.

Finn groaned as he punched the wall, "I don't want anything to ruin this for us, we've been waiting for so long."

"I know dude, but what if she finds out and you never told her?" Maybeck asked.

Finn paused, "Amanda can't know, I don't want to worry her," he said, trying to calm his anger.

….

"What do you think about this color?" Willa asked Amanda, holding up a turquoise dress.

"Do you think he lied to me," Amanda asked, clearly not acknowledging Willa's question.

Willa sighed, "Hun, honestly, I don't know. Even if he did, it's probably because he doesn't want to get you involved."

"But we've talked about this, how he can't shut me out when things get bad. Remember prom? Yeah, that worked well" Amanda rolled her eyes.

"Amanda! What about this?" Charlene came from the dressing room wearing a deep purple dress, similar style to Willa's. Willa turned around and shot Charlene a look, enough to get her to pay attention to the look on Amanda's face.

"Sweetie, I don't believe he's purposely keeping something from you" Willa continued.

"Yeah, Amanda, he loves you more than anyone and anything. I wouldn't worry" Charlene smiled.

Amanda thought about these things but still worried about Finn. This was completely normal for their relationship to go through these things. She pushed it aside and smiled, "I like both of those" as she pointed to the dresses.

"Where's Jess?" Willa asked suddenly realizing the Maid of Honor wasn't there.

"She got her dress last week when I got mine" Amanda said, "Plus, she said she was exhausted for some strange reason."

….

"Come on Maybeck, I'm sure you don't look that stupid in the suit" Philby chuckled as he and Finn were patiently waiting in their tuxes.

"Fine" Maybeck said as he graced the guys with his presence.

"Nice" Philby nodded in approval as Finn agreed.

"Can I take this off now?" Maybeck asked desperately.

"Maybeck, how are you going to do this in the future when you and Charlie tie the knot?" Philby asked.

Maybeck put his head down as if ashamed. "Sup man?" Finn asked.

"I think she's getting impatient," Maybeck whispered.

"Well, she kinda has a reason too. You're going to be the odd couple out soon," Philby said.

"I know, hopefully it won't be like that for long" Maybeck grinned as he reached in his pocket and pulled out a small box to reveal a ring inside.

"Alright Maybeck!" Philby chuckled.

"About time" Finn said.

Maybeck joined in their laughter; "Charlie said the same thing about you and Amanda. I've had this thing in my pocket for months waiting for the right moment."

"Months? Better not tell the other girls or they'll murder you for waiting so long" Philby said.

Finn was about to agree with Philby until his phone buzzed with a text. He half expected it to be Amanda since they hadn't talked much since that night he was at her apartment, but it wasn't.

Jess: Finn! Can you meet me at Frozen Marble in an hour?

Finn's questionable look raised eyebrows between the guys.

"What's up Finn?" Maybeck asked once he came back down to earth.

Finn showed them the text as Philby smacked his forehead, "Please let this not be about a nightmare," he said.

"Or worse…" Maybeck said.

"What?" Finn asked.

"A drawing" Maybeck whispered.

Finn turned pale and suddenly felt sick to his stomach as he said a string of curse words.

Finn: On my way
