Brenda and Bane went to change to more casual dress that Donna prepared for the party, Brenda still wearing blue dress, but this time it falls just before her knee, she pulled her hair into pony tail. When they got back everyone were already having fun, this is the only time the couple could really talk to their guests. They first went to pay respect to Brenda's grandparents, then to the parents of her friends, to Nat and to Roy..
"hey you there.." Roy greeted her
"hey sorry I didn't come to you earlier… have you guys enjoyed yourselves?" Brenda asked
"yeah don't worry we understood and congrats Brenda… were so very happy for you and we missed you in theater.." Roy said as he shook hands with Bane
"thanks roy.." Bane said
"don't mind us here Brenda go and check on your guests… were fine.. and besides drinks were being served now…" roy said laughing
"thanks roy..see yah around.." Brenda said
The next went to Joseph and Val who looks like having a deep conversation
"hey is this a private party?" Brenda asked
"don't be silly Brenda… Joseph this is Bane.. i believe you two hadn't been introduce properly.."
"yeah we haven't…congrats man.." Joseph said shaking hands with Bane
Brenda lazily sit down besides Val and lean on her "god I feel so tired…" Brenda said hoping that Bane didn't hear her
"you ok bren?" Val said whispering
"yeah…I just felt a little tired…but I'm ok.." Brenda said luckily Bane and Joseph were caught up in their own conversation.
Jim, Cyndi, their parents along with the other parents including Nat were also having their own little party… they all been talking about the kids and their fondest memories of them during high school.
Little did they all know Donna and David prepared a little program for the newly weds.
"hi guys…see you're enjoying yourselves… but can I get you're attention please?" the emcee said everyone stopped talking and pay attention
"thank you.. Brenda's bestfriend Donna and her husband David were apparently school DJ's during their high school and college days… so they'll be taking over from here" Donna and David came in
"hi guys…" Donna said,kinda nervous
"hey don't tell me you're nervous?" David asked his wife
"I'm not!! Its just that we haven't done this for ages.. but for my bestfriend Brenda I'll do this once again…" Donna said looking at Brenda
"actually Brenda. Bane this wasn't our idea..it was Valerie's.. she thought about it a week ago..and we all gladly agree.." David said
Brenda looked at vals "why you…" Brenda said squinting her eyes
"hey its my surprise…so just enjoy it.."
"so what were doing is that Brenda and Bane's friends will perform something anything that they can… whoever want to perform...no one in particular...I know this is very high school… but please bear with us.." Donna said
"and besides high school played a key part to us, including the bride because that's where we all started to be friends…" David said
"so for the first number.. since it was her idea…she'll go first.. come on up Val.."
The guests applauded "hi guys..good evening.. well for what I prepared, I'll be needing Bane and Brenda here.." Val said calling the couple up on stage, meanwhile somebody from the crew put up 2 more chairs at the stage.
"so see Brenda and I here were almost twins as what we told you earlier.. so I probably know this girl than anybody else here.." she said looking at the guests then she saw Dylan and Brandon "or should I say I'm one of those who really knew here.."
This time a crew gave acoustic guitar to Bane.. Val went and whispered something to Bane's ears, who nodded in return, Brenda look at them curiously having no idea on what's going on, then Val; handed her a piece of paper "that's what were gonna sing…I know you know that so don't act blonde ok?" Val said covering her microphone
Brenda look at the paper and smile its one of her favorite contemporary song. "ok…here goes nothing" Brenda said giving everyone a not-so-sure smile
Bane started to play the guitar, Valerie and Brenda were gonna sing "umbrella" by mandy moore
Brenda and Val sighs as they heard Bane's music, they look at each other and smiled.
Val: You had my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Brenda: Baby cause in the Dark
You can see shiny Cars
That's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because...
Both: When the sun shines
We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'mma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Told you we still have each other
You can stand under my Umbrella
You can stand under my Umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella eh eh)
Brenda: These fancy things,
Will never come in between
You're my entity
Here for Infinity
Val: When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard
Together we'll mend your heart
Because...
Both (till fade): When the sun shines
We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'mma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Told you we still have each other
You can stand under my Umbrella
You can stand under my Umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
You can run into my Arms
That's okay don't be alarmed
(Come into Me)
(There's no distance in between our love)
Gonna let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more ooohh
Because...
When the sun shines
We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'mma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Told you we still have each other
You can stand under my Umbrella
You can stand under my Umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella

Their families and friends applauded at their number, it was beautiful, their voice compliments each other and Bane did really great too.
"well… thank you guys…" Brenda said "and thank you…" she said hugging Val
"no worries… anything for yah sis.." Val said
"wow isn't that beautiful?" Donna asked
"yeah…you three did great.." David agreed
"so now what?" Donna asked David
"I think Hannah and Erica prepared something for Brenda and Bane…" David said
Hannah and Erica stood up as their family and friends applauded.
"yeah were gonna do a song that perfectly fits our relationship with Brenda and BAne its called "keep holding on" by avril lavigne"
The band started to play the song, as Erica and Hannah sang they all listen, as they probably have the most angelic voice one can have. Bane and Brenda remained at the stage the crew gave their seats, they were enjoying the good music since they were both music lover. When the song ended, Erica and Hannah went to hug Brenda and Bane.
"nicely done sweetie.." Donna complimented them "we'll cut this little program and continue the party..we'll be back later…I think my husband here wanted to dance for the bride and the groom.." Donna teased David
"hmmm lets see…" David replied, the mic was cut off and the lights went back to the 'disco' mode Bane and Brenda went down the stage and headed to where their parents are.
"hey mom…are still feeling dizzy?" Brenda asked
Cyndi tried to hide it from Brenda but she couldn't help it "yeah a little.."
"oh god mom…we have to bring you to the hospital.." Brenda said panicking
"Brenda calm down, she just developed migraine, that's it nothing severe…and I promise I'll bring here to the hospital first thing tomorrow…" Jim said
"so are you going home now?" Brenda asked
"yeah your grandparents needed to rest too" Jim said
Brenda nodded, she went to hug her grandparents and her parents as they all said goodbyes to each other.
"we'll be ok honey…you kids enjoy the party…" Jim said looking to everyone
brenda nodded, after few songs, everyone except the gang, and her theater friends left also, they said that they will let the 'younger' people enjoy the party and they have to take care of the kids too, Brenda and Bane understood them and beside its was pretty late already.
David went to the mic and said "so guys…I think this where the REAL party begins…" the music grew louder as they all dance. Valerie and Joseph became inseparable after the bouquet and garter toss ceremony. Andy and Erica were enjoying their selves too, even the gang from London and Brenda's friend from theater were all having fun… she felt happy too singing all her friends having fun.
Repertoire

When crank dat was played, David searched for Brenda "hey bren..i think that's our groove what do you say?"
"bring it on!!"Brenda said
David went to the DJ and requested to play back crank dat for them. The group formed a circle making David and Brenda at the center. 4 people from the theater group knew the dance so they danced with Brenda and David the group cheered for them, the song was so danceable that they found themselves doing Brenda and David's steps. After that very tiring hip hop dance number they all sat down and had drinks, they all thought that the night was perfect, a very solemn ceremony, a heartfelt reception and a wild party!!
"Erica I think you had enough.." Andy said as he saw Erica was about to get another drink, Dylan heard it and smiled
"he's right Erica.." Dylan added
"ok fine…I'll stop…" Erica said, the truth is she still wanna drink, her tolerance for alcohol would probably keep her all night long, but she knew better than to argue with her own boyfriend and her big brother.
Andy smile as he knew Dylan knew that he has all the right intentions for her baby sisters.
Roy went to Brenda "hey there my favorite actress… I hate to say this but we kinda needed to go now…" Roy said
"aww… really? So what are you guys up to now?" Brenda said
"we kinda have a flight back to new york in two hours.." roy said
"what? Are you guys telling me that you all got a roundtrip ticket just for my wedding?" Brenda asked
"not just any wedding… your wedding…and it's all worth it…we all had fun…" roy answered "and I have this 3 plays specially written for you the producer said he could wait forever for you to be available…so that's all yours.." he hander her 3 scripts
"thank you roy… thanks for all the help…" Brenda said hugging him
"anything for my favorite actress… now we need to go…I'll see you soon Brenda… bye…" he waves goodbye to the gang and shook hands with Bane. she went to hug everyone and Bane did the same. When her friends left she turned to her remaining friends "so all tired now?" she asked them, but its obvious that they are all exhausted.
"I say we cut this party off and head home.." Steve said
"so how are we all gonna go home?" Erica said
"you guys can take the bridal car…I'll tell mike…" Brenda started but she earned glares from Dylan and Bane "I mean michelle to let the driver know, so since parents and grandparents are home, you three should stay with us" pointing to Brandon, Shae, and Valerie
" no Brandon and Shae will stay with us…" Kelly said
"Andrea and Hannah will stay with us…" Janet said
"Val and Joseph here will stay with us.." Donna said
"and we'll all take cabs… we can manage it…" Kaelyn said
Brenda eyed her girl friends " so you had planned al this?" she asked
"actually I planned it Brenda… I think you need a break here… we'll all go home, don't worry about us…and we'll see you maybe dinner tomorrow?" Brandon said putting his arm around Brenda's shoulder.
"are you guys sure?" Brenda asked them again
"positive" they replied
"so I guess I'll see you all tomorrow…and guys thank you so much…" Brenda said
"nah…don't mention it best.." Donna said hugging Brenda "go get some rest…we'll take care everything here.."
Brenda then hugs and kisses her friends one by one saying thank you for everything else. Bane shook hands with the guys. And then they head home with mixed feelings of tiredness and happiness.
