Punk, Dean, Roman, Seth, Adam, Sheamus, Justin, Adrian and Sami were next to the bridal boutique when they noticed Summer and Dolph arrive. Roman, Seth, Dean and Randy were trying on their tuxs wondering what the girls were like. Punk was arranging which bridesmaid would be dancing with which maid of honour and trying to work out which one of them would be his best man since he had yet to work that out. AJ had decided Paige would be her maid of honour almost instantly and hadn't changed her mind in five years. Justin, Sheamus and Adam were talking amongst themselves when they noticed that Summer and Dolph were heading into the boutique knowing that something was likely to happen considering Dolph was no longer invited to the wedding, and Summer was demoted from being a bridesmaid due to her earlier actions and that AJ would actually like it to be her dream wedding rather than Summer's.
"Adrian, Sami can you to check if the girls are okay, you know make sure show off couple out there don't do anything" said and asked Punk wanting to make sure if bride doesn't get to stressed, the pair of them nodded, Sami saying that he would wait outside the store and keep an eye on what;s happening while Adrian went in the store since he was the best at keeping the four of them calm for some reason. Sami watched what was happening from the outside like he said he would waiting for Adrian to signal that he need back up, although it was unlikely The Man That Gravity Missed would actually need back up.
He watched as Summer and Dolph walked out the store, he didn't think the noticed him until Summer walked towards him in her diva fashion, smacking him hard across the cheek, making him lose his balance a little, it also made him unaware of Dolph standing before, he soon realised when he was super-kicked by the said man, sending him barrelling towards the trash cans outside, smacking his head as he went down. Summer just clapped and kissed Dolph for what he had done, looking proud when Roman, Bayley, Adrian, Paige and Dean along with Sheamus came out to see what was happening, Paige by now had gotten changed as had Bayley. As soon as they seen what happened or the aftermath of it. Bayley ran over to Sami making sure he was alright, noticing the side of his head bleeding, Sheamus and Adrian joined her, getting him in to a sitting position, Bayley quickly took off her white hood and holding it to the bleeding wound on the side of Sami's head.
"What the hell was that for?" Roman asked irritation in his voice, he knew that Dolph could be irrational at times but to hurt one that had supported him through his troubles was uncalled for, as for Summer he had lost all respect for her, especially when she tried to break Dean and Paige up, he hadn't told the couple about that as he didn't want Summer to succeed in ruining their new found happiness. Summer only smirk at him, before turning away, following Dolph back to the car in which they had arrived in, unfortunately for Summer she didn't get more than three steps away before Paige got hold of her.
"Roman asked you a question, please answer before I lose my temper complete with you" said Paige in warning tone, Dolph had attempted to get Paige off Summer but was met with Dean who had the unstable look in his eyes, the one he had when he was determined to protect Paige, Sami, Adrian, Bayley, and Sheamus looked on from their spot on the ground, wondering how it had come to this. How everything they knew was falling apart, because of the choices they made. Summer struggled to get out of Paige's grip knowing it could be painful if she had a little bit of pressure.
"I'm not a bridesmaid any more, because AJ selfishly chose to replace me with Bayley who had ruined everything so far. I mean everything I had planned she ruined, so I got my anger out by slapping Sami, then to cheer me up Dolph super-kicked him" said Summer appearing to be happy with herself, her true popular girl personality finally rearing its ugly head. Sami looked at Bayley who was still holding her now blood and white hoody to his head. He smiled at her, before turning his attention back to what was happening.
"Glad you're amused, and from where I am standing Bayley hasn't ruined anything, you did that yourself when you made the choices you did, when you lied to us and tried to turn us against Dean" said Sami, leaning on Sheamus to get up from the concrete floor. Adrian stood the other side of Bayley to make sure she wasn't vulnerable to Summer's attack, since Paige had let her go. Summer go away from her quickly, getting in the car she and Dolph shared, and leaving as fast as possible. Appearing to finally come to terms with what she herself had done.
"Bayley is the dress fitting done?" asked Roman turning to Bayley who nodded at him, he smiled in reply going into concerned leader mode. "Okay, Sheamus go back into the guys tell what happened, Dean see if you can calm Paige down before she destroys something, Bayley take Sami to the hospital, Adrian go with them, I will tell AJ and the girls what happened" said Roman, watching each of them nod to him before doing their set tasks, he took a deep breath before walking into the bridal boutique, seeing AJ waiting there with Layla and Emma in her wedding dress, she looked both concerned and angry, almost like she knew why he was there and what he was about to tell.
"Wow AJ you look stunning" said Roman thinking it would be easier to compliment the bride to be before he tells her what happened. He knew she wasn't going to like it. "Summer and Dolph attacked Sami that being the course of the crashing sound we heard. Adrian and Bayley are taking him to the hospital while Dean is attempting to calm Paige down, the guys are being told the same thing as we speak by Sheamus" added Roman, seeing AJ run to the dressing room to change. She didn't want this to happen but she couldn't let it happen any more, she couldn't make excuses for someone who was doing this on purpose.
"Have you told Paige and Dean what she tried to do yet?" asked AJ when she returned in her jeans with a normal tank top on holding her Chuck Taylors. Roman only shook his head in reply wondering what it was she was thinking. "Get the group together, it's time we all shared the secrets we all had on Summer and Dolph the pair of them have gone to far this time. We will meet in our old tree house. ASAP" added AJ, she knew this should have been done as soon as she hurt Dean the way she did but couldn't bring herself to hurt him more than he already was. She also had some questions for Dean, since he told her something that came as a shock to her.
With Adrian, Sami and Bayley, Adrian was driving as fast as he could to the hospital, with Bayley still holding her hoody to Sami's head, as well as making sure he stayed awake in case the injury was worse than they thought. Adrian wasn't too sure what to do, and listen to Bayley as she spoke to Sami and told Adrian himself that AJ what to meet in the tree house ASAP, a place she had never been to before. But it was somewhere she was curious about, as she had heard the others mentioned the tree house on several occasions but no one had explained it to her.
"Sami stay awake, I wont lose you like we almost lost Paige and AJ five years back. Plus you owe Bayley there a new white hoody since her one is now covered in your blood" said Adrian from the drivers seat, hearing Bayley laugh slightly at Sami owing her a new white hoody, she never wanted anything from them expect their support and friendship like they had always given her whenever she asked for it. It wasn't long before they arrived at the hospital, the pair of them worked together to get Sami from the car and into the hospital where a nurse seem the state he was in and lead him to a room to be checked out straight away. The pair of them waited in the waiting room for a couple of minutes wondering what the verdict with Sami was. While they waited the talked about what happened between them before.
"I'm sorry I didn't keep in contact much over the last five years, I just didn't know how to talk to you after waking up how we did after prom" said Adrian apologising for not keeping in contact like he had promised to do when he graduated, like they all had, he also revealed his reaction was the same as hers, unsure of what to do when it come to seeing each other again let alone talking to each other considering the memory just keeps coming back.
"It's okay Adrian, at least you stayed in contact and haven't changed much over the years, your still the same as I remember, and I now know you thought the same as I did" replied Bayley sitting next to him and offering one of her famous hugs, he accepted the hug wondering what he would do without the people who had become close to him, Paige wasn't the only one of the group he had come to love as a sister. He had come to love Bayley herself in the same way.
"I do love you Bayley but not in a girlfriend way, I love you in the same way I love Paige as a sibling, oh and you might want to talk to Sami he has been the most excited out of all of us to be seeing you again. Layla wrestled it out of him and got him to admit he had a school boy crush on you" revealed Adrian seeing the look of shock on Bayley's face, he couldn't resist he had to laugh at her, she blinked in shock for a couple of seconds before turning around when someone entered the waiting room, that said someone being Sami. He smiled at her before catching on to what must have happened.
"You told her didn't you?" asked Sami to Adrian who stood there with an innocent smile and nodded. "Lucky for you doc said not to run after people for a couple of days and I have strong pain killers with stitches in my head" added Sami walking over to Bayley to make sure they didn't have to get her checked out by the doctor as well, especially since she seems to have taken a leaf out of Paige's book and turned into a statue while in shock. When Sami finally reached her he waved his hands in front of her face a couple of times, watching her blink and shake her head before looking up at him with an unsure smile on her features.
"Come on lets get to the tree house, meet the others, you and little miss hug-able over there can talk on the way" said Adrian leading the way back to the car. It didn't take them long to get there and be on their way to the small woods that housed the tree house, the place where they once strong group made so many memories together. Bayley was looking forward to it, she wondered of it still had all of it's former glory or if it had gone derelict over the time they had been away.
"I owe you a new hoody, and to say thank you for sacrificing the said hoody to stop the bleeding" said Sami turning around to face Bayley who was in the back seat behind Adrian, she smiled at him, wondering how he had come to have a crush on her, and relived that Adrian wasn't interested in her a romantic way as she had original thought. It was interesting for her, and wondering if this was how Paige reacted when finding out that Dean her boyfriends best friend or at least one of them was in love with her, after she had broke up with Seth, she made a mental note to ask Paige on that one.
"It's cool, it was an old hoody, plus the fact it helped you more than I loved it" said Bayley in reply, it wasn't long before they pulled into a parking lot where they noticed several cars belonging to their friends, their was an SUV there which didn't help who it belonged to as both Roman and Paige had one, a Nissan and a Ford. Most of them had guessed they had shared cars to get there and the others would pick up their own later on when they were on their way back home. Bayley smiled getting out of the car, following behind Sami and Adrian with a curious smile on her face. The trio were walking for about five ten minutes when they were joined by a rather bouncy looking Sheamus, he smiled at them before joining Bayley behind Sami and Adrian.
"Since I didn't get to speak with you earlier lass, how about catching up and a special hug" said Sheamus, seeing Bayley's smile grow as she jumped on him, giving him the tightest hug she could muster, he laughed slightly and enjoyed their mini conversation the pair would have over texting each other, Sheamus was normally the link between Bayley and the rest, well apart from AJ and Punk, with the occasional Roman.
"Thank you for keeping me in the loop, although it would have been nice to know about Sami new developed crush a little sooner" said Bayley in reply thanking Sheamus who only smiled remembering his reaction when he heard Sami admit he had found another love interest after his heart broke from Emma, although he had expected it to be someone in NXT in the company in which they had worked in, not the first year that had gone to prom with Adrian, but he soon understood why Sami had fallen for her, she was caring and always willing to listen, as well as always looking forward to seeing them all again. It wasn't long after that they arrived at the tree house, Bayley unsure if she should actually be there or if she should wait somewhere close by.
"Okay Bayley you go up first, Sami will follow you" said Sheamus, stopping her for a minute while he shouted up that they had Bayley with them, since it could be hard to get up there. "Guys Bayley's here can someone help her up when she gets to the top" shouted Sheamus hearing the yes's that came back in reply, he signalled for Bayley to go up after that, which she did, feeling a slight bit uneasy with the rope ladder but glad there was Sami behind her and both Sheamus and Adrian at the bottom and the others at the top in case anything happened. When she was almost at the top she placed her hands on the flooring of the tree house, jumping slightly when she felt two pairs of hands on each arm, pulling her up. When she looked up she was met with Roman and Randy smiling back at her. They also pulled Sami and Adrian up, letting Sheamus get himself up since he could be a nightmare at times when it come to helping him.
"Official Welcome to the Misfits Bayley" they all said in unison once they were all in the tree house, Bayley looked around at each of them wondering if they were playing some sort of joke on her, but when she looked at them she could see that there was no hint of joking on their face, they meant what they said. Justin gave her a piece of paper and a pen, to which she looked confused, at which point Layla pointed to the autographs of each on them on the wall behind Bayley, Bayley smiled and quickly did her autograph before watching Adam putting it on the wall.
"Now all we have to do Rosebuds is update our little group photo and discuss what to do about Summer and Dolph" said Adam hugging Bayley once he had put her autograph on the wall with all the others. Neither of them wanted to do it but didn't see any other way to move forward, Summer's confession didn't help either. They had let her into the group, trusted her with secrets and all this time she could have been feeding them back to Stephanie, their enemy, the situation with Dolph wasn't much better, they didn't know if he knew and didn't tell them or he was part of it.
"What do you mean do about Summer and Dolph?" asked Bayley, deep down she knew what they meant but she just wanted to have one of them at least confirm what she was thinking. She knew it was when Sami but his hand on her shoulder squeezing gently. She only nodded in reply. "So you're really thinking about doing what the misfits have never done before?" added Bayley after a few minutes of silence around the group, she knew them, she was like their secret member but now an official one, she knew they would never ask someone to leave their ranks if they had another choice but it appeared as if they didn't see another one.
"Summer lied to us, she hid her true personality and broke Dean's heart and almost him, as for Dolph we're not sure if he was part of the entire thing or if he knew and never said a word to the rest of us, we intend to find out before we make our actually decision" spoke Seth from the opposite side of the tree house, Emma leaning against him, Dean just look down after that, he didn't want to remember all the memories he had pushed to the back, he just wanted to concentrate on what was in front of him and what he had before him now.
"You would have lost me if it wasn't for Paige returning the favour" suddenly said Dean revealing that Summer broke his heart after Seth and Paige's relationship came crashing down. Bayley looked over at him, she knew that Dean had found Paige in a nightclub, and took her to AJ's but that was all she knew on that one, that was all she had been told thrust far. "AJ you mentioned something else you wanted to talk about" added Dean shortly after, he knew when AJ said she wanted to talk about other things then they were going to do just that, neither really wanted to be on the receiving end of her mind games but they also knew it was highly unlikely should would do that to any of them.
"Some of us caught Summer doing things during her time with us, I was curious if anyone else besides myself, Roman, Sheamus and Layla had seen or been told anything by her" said AJ in reply watching Dean hugged Paige a little bit more than he was already doing, Paige's response was to kiss him on the cheek and snuggle into his shoulder, for the couple that had been together the least amount of time, they were a sweet one although the were nicknamed the psycho couple considering they both could be insane when they wanted to be.
"What type of things did you catch her doing or did she tell you guys?" asked Paige her English accent coming through showing that she was getting angry, that was one of her tell tale signs and one of the biggest. The others knew they would have to tread carefully so not to make her snap, like she was close to doing earlier when she got hold of Summer, who knows what might have happened if Summer didn't answer Roman's question.
"I caught her making plans to break the pair of you up, apparently she wasn't happy that Dean had moved on so quickly, so she was trying to falsify evidence that Paige and Seth were still together" said Roman being honest, he hated that Summer could have done that just because Dean had found someone else that actually wanted to be with him, instead of leading him along like she herself had done for so long. He really was thankful for Paige, if wasn't for her he was sure he would have lost one of his best friends, she brought him back from the edge and stayed with him to make sure he doesn't tip over again because of Summer.
"She said to me once that, if she doesn't like AJ's bridesmaid dress, then she would keep arguing with her until AJ pick a dress that was the list she had put together. She said she wouldn't wear anything that was black or dark blue" said Layla, she knew AJ was hurt by what Summer had said, Layla had had a go at her for what she had said, she was basically saying that she would take over AJ's wedding for her so it was more in Summer's style that what AJ wanted. Punk looked at AJ who's breathing was starting to speed up, he knew she was angry and there was likely to be nothing to calm her other than letting her loose of the said person.
"I'd rather not repeat what the lass said about Bayley here, I wasn't the best and it was out of line, she also said that Paige was an English Gothic Vampire who wasn't good for any of us especially Dean, and that the group started to fall apart when we made plans of bringing her back to the group when she left us in senior year" spoke Sheamus, everyone knew that Summer blamed Bayley for not getting what she wanted but none of them would have guest that she also blamed Paige, for it. "There was something about Prom Queen in there as well" added Sheamus remembering that she had mentioned the subject but couldn't remember what she said. He also guessed what Bayley wanted him to do when she gave him paper and pen, he obliged but signalled for Sami to stay near her.
"When she broke Dean's heart, she said some hurtful thing about you, saying that Dolph is better than you in every way, that you were just her way of staying in the group since she knew you would fight for her to stay if we asked her to leave, and she also said you wouldn't find anyone like her who would accept you without trying to change something about you" said AJ, noticing how Dean pulled Paige towards him when she tried to get up AJ looked at him and smiled a slightly sad smile, but he appear to be more concern with Paige at this point.
"All those of erasing Summer from the groups history and no longer recognising her as a member, put your hand in the middle" suddenly said Adam, he knew they didn't want to do this but they didn't have any other choice or none they could see. It wasn't long before all of them hesitantly put their hand in the middle. Even Bayley, she couldn't believe that Summer who she thought was a friend actually turned out to be acting to get information for her true friends, the ones who had been trying to destroy the group since its formation way back when.
It wasn't long before the group heard two rather familiar voices heading their way, Randy being in the mood he was quickly pulled the rope ladder up, just as Dolph and Summer appeared from the trees. He looked at them angry at what had happened, and knowing that this was the end of the Misfits as how they were in high school, it was time for the new version of the misfits to take its place. Summer looked up angry at Randy she wanted to go up in the tree house, thinking they hadn't remembered anything she had done or said, and not even giving it a thought that they would actually do the action they refused to this point to take.
"Dolph we've got a few questions for you" said Randy, that look in his eye, saying to be truthful. He was more than happy to let either Paige or AJ loose at this point, as well as Dean who he was sure still wanted to rip Dolph apart for the part he had thrust far played and failing to stop Summer when she had gone to far. "Depending on your answer if depending on your fate, Summer's has already been decided, it's already tempting to let the now Bridezilla loose and Miss Hell In Boots, so unless you want me to let The Lunatic loose as well answer truthfully" added Randy revealing what would happen, he let Punk take over for there.
"Did you know Summer was pretending when she was friends with us and when she was with Dean?" asked Punk popping his head out one of the windows, saving the hassle of swapping places with Randy, Roman for now was in charge of keeping AJ calm, or as calm as possible since it was unlikely she was going to be truly calm until she got hold of Summer and not in a nice way.
"Yes, I knew and I didn't tell you for a few reasons, one I knew you wouldn't believe me or she would convince you other wise or use Dean to stay in the misfits, two it wasn't my place to suddenly say she was trying to destroy it. Three she offered me something better than what you guys could offer and four what was I supposed to say oh hey guys how you doing, and before I forget Summer is still friends with Stephanie and is trying to break down the group for good" said Dolph in reply he knew there was another reason but didn't say it believing it would just anger them further.
"You could of said something, saved Dean there from a whole load of pain. Anyway, next question were you part of the plan to take us down once and for all?" asked Punk, if he was being honest he didn't want to know the answer, like the others deep down he knew the answer but just didn't want to accept it because it would have meant someone they trusted and was there when the group formed would have turned against them, and it would have meant they were too blind to see what was happening before their very eyes.
"If you want the honest answer yes, I was part of it, I knew and didn't say anything because one I didn't want to and two because I didn't know how. The group shouldn't have been started in the first place, we are too different to have survived this long, it's not going to last forever, just like eventually yours and AJ relationship and soon to be marriage will end in tears for the pair of you. You may think you are similar but you're more different from each other than you think. Me and Summer however will last, we are what true love is" answered Dolph regretting it when he heard Summer scream out, when he looked around he was surprised to see that it was Paige who had gotten hold of her rather than AJ as he would have thought.
"Err Dolph I would let go off Paige if you want to continue on with your career" said Seth, he still cared for Paige hence why he tried to protect her whenever he had to, he would still lay down his life for her. After all she was that one you will never forget even when you try to. "Really I would let go since you have one angry Lunatic Fringe heading your way" added Seth when Dolph made no move to let go off Paige, both Paige and Dolph soon hit the leaf covered ground when Dean launched himself at Dolph, he quickly got Paige away from him noticing that Summer had ran off.
"Some girlfriend she is too you, instead of staying to help you, she's ran away to save herself" said Dean before realising his anger out on Dolph, he knew what the consequences would be, but he didn't care, no one takes hold of his Paige the way Dolph did, pulling her hair and wrapping one of his arms tightly around her neck. Dean only stopped when he heard Paige's raspy voice from behind him, he turned to her helping her from the ground at checking her over for any serious injuries, smiling at her before hugging her tightly.
