Dedicated to someone who told me if I had been any taller he wouldn't have asked me out.
No we don't own the Labyrinth, Prada, Tiffany's, or Cinnamon Toast Crunch. If we owned Cinnamon Toast Crunch Star wouldn't have gone 10 years without it even though it's her favorite cereal. Ah the joys of allergies!
Contest still going on. We have all our bridesmaids though! Alba (Lil-Evans), Shannon (luvinNaley7413), and Michelle (Therese Lemonade). So first person to get the song right wins. It's been redone by a ton of people, and we didn't even know who originally did it until a few days ago. It's not the chapter name and technically the song was originally done in the 50s. It's not going to be that big of a part for the character.

Middle of the Night….
Abby had stayed under her bed for the rest of the evening and had fallen asleep. She awoke with her stomach growling from skipping dinner. She sighed and inched her way out from under her bed. Then, clutching her barn owl Jareth (a name she had given the stuffed toy after watching Jim Henson's Labyrinth) to her chest she tip-toed out of the room and walked down to the kitchen. she opened the refrigerator and grabbed the milk then walked to the cupboard where she grabbed a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and a bowl and spoon. She poured herself her midnight dinner and sat down to eat it.
The lights in the kitchen flipped on, temporarily blinding her.
"Ow." She said as she covered her eyes with her hand that wasn't about to put cereal in her mouth. She looked up when she didn't hear the other person move. "Oh." She said as Bryce just stood there staring at her.
"Hi." He said finally moving
"Hi." He said finally moving. he got a glass from the freezer and poured himself a glass of water from the tap, "You weren't at dinner."
"I had a dinner date with Jareth. Now I'm having a midnight snack with him." she said, nodding at the owl on the counter in front of her.
"Listen, I'm sorry." Bryce leaned on the counter next to her, "I forgot that Ed can be a little... unreasonable at times."
"That's an understatement." Abby muttered.
"What?"
"Nothing, I'm sorry too."
"So," He said taking her hands and pulling her gently towards her. "Wedding still on?'
"Yes." She said smiling right before they kissed.

"Bye you guys! Have fun!" Abby yelled as the guys left for the bachelor party.
"Okay, now that they're gone we get to start your party!" Gabriella said as all the girls sat in her room on various pieces of furniture. "Since I have no idea what you have to do here anymore, we're having a slumber party! Not to mention how often are you going to be willing to have a slumber party after you're married?"
"I'm good with that! I don't need naked guys or alcohol to have a good time on my bachelorette party! But I promise not to ditch you guys too." Abby replied smiling widely as she looked around at all the girls. There weren't many people there, but they were all close friends, or her new New Mexican friends.
"Let's go down to the kitchen to see what Zeke left for us before they all went to the bachelor party!" Sharpay said as she raced out of the room, apparently wanting to get to the deserts first.
"So she still won't admit she likes Zeke?" Abby asked Kelsi as they walked towards the kitchen.
"Nope, it's ridiculous." Kelsi responded rolling her eyes.
"What are you guys doing here?" Sharpay asked as the rest of the girls caught up with her. Troy, Chad, Zeke, Ryan, and Jason stood in the kitchen all dressed up looking extremely bored.
"Well we thought we were invited to the bachelor party, but apparently not." Chad responded leaning against the counter.
Abby bit her lips together, "Then you'll have to join my party! We don't have a stripper, but I think you guys can prove to make up for that." she grinned.
"Uh... what do you mean?" asked a suddenly worried and shy Troy.
"We can have co-ed karaoke and dancing now! It's like a bar without the booze! I have a karaoke machine in the attic. Gabi and I used to fool around with it all the time when no one else was around. "Abby smiled.
"Oh! I had forgotten about that!" Gabriella said and raced up the stairs with Abby to go get the machine.
"I thought you said you had never done karaoke before?" Troy said as Gabriella and Abby came back to the room with the very dusty karaoke machine.
"Um Troy doing in front of your best friend verses a couple hundred people you've never met or seen before is a tad bit different." Gabriella answered as she kissed him.
"Good point." He said as she left him to go back to help Abby.
Abby dusted off the machine and pulled out a collection of CDs, "Alright, I don't have much in the way of options. Only what Gabi and I were really into at the time... its mostly upbeat break up songs." she said as she hooked everything up. then she plugged it in, "Ok, who wants to go first?"
Everyone looked at Troy and Gabriella. The two looked around at everyone staring at them.
"What?" Gabriella asked, then rolled her eyes as everyone continued staring. "Fine! Come one Troy!"
"What? No! I don't want to! Haven't we done enough karaoking for the rest of our lives?" He responded as he attempted to resist her as she tried to pull him towards the machine. Thankfully Chad helped her by pushing him.
"Karaoking isn't a word, plus it's how we met. Come on now!" She said handing him a mic.
Troy and Gabriella stated singing and Taylor dragged Chad to the middle of the living room.
"I thought Prom was the last dancing thing! i don't dance!" he complained.
"Come on, Garry Cooper you had a long break, now we dance!"
Zeke bowed to Sharpay and led her to the "dance floor" and Kelsi, who usually played piano rather than danced walked over to Abby's brother's keyboard and started to warm up her fingers for when no one wanted to karaoke any longer.
The three bridesmaids, Alba, Shannon, and Michelle all formed a circle and started to rock out as if they were at a concert of their favorite band.
Ryan walked over to Abby, "It's not right for the soon to be bride to sit out at her party, would you like to dance?"
"It's gotta be rock 'n roll music if you want to dance with me." Abby smiled.
"Hey, It's your party! Gabi! Troy! Strike up the Rock and Roll!"
Troy sighed and nodded, popping in a rock CD.
"Got me there." Abby laughed, "Lets Dance-a!" she said in a convincing Japanese accent.

"Ok I have a dare for all of you!" Abby said still laughing after she had just answered Sharpay's question of 'Prada or Tiffany's?'
"What?" asked Shannon and Michelle.
"I dare you all to go to bed since I have to be at the church in 8 hours!" Abby said still laughing. That's what happens when you get enough people together and have a good time. They all get slap happy.
"This is the most unconventional bachelorette party I've ever been to, but it was amazing! Thanks you guys!" Abby said laughing as she held up her soda.
"Here here!" Shannon and Michelle said as the rest laughed.
Last chapter's quote was We Can Work it Out – The Beatles and the chapter before that's was Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares) – Aaron Tippin. We forgot to put it before, sorry! Congrats to Therese Lemonade for winning last time! Don't forget to guess this time either those who haven't already won!
