Lisa: Whew, finally I'm back for good... for about a month before the musical comes up in school. We're doing Beauty and the Beast wish me luck on the part of Belle. But anyway, I did the fall play and my life has been so hectic, all my free time was sleep.

Heather: She wasn't even on the computer... at all. It was a week before the show and I only got to talk to her in school

Lisa: Not my fault, but I'm still tired and... sleepy... but yeah, it's done for a bit.

Heather: Until the musical.

Lisa: Until the musical.

Special Day

"It's the big day." Sirius sang as he paraded into the room where Franks at staring at himself in the mirror with his dress robes on, ready for the wedding.

Frank nodded and let out a long sigh. "I know. Oh Merlin... I know it is."

"Nervous?" Remus asked walking over and sitting on the couch against the wall.

"More then anything."

James shook his head and walked over with a smile. "Don't worry about it, I'm sure everything will be perfect. You two were made for one another." He said and fell down on the couch next to Remus.

"Like you and Lily were made for one another and Remus and Andy were made for one another?" Frank asked. "And yet, somehow, I am the one who gets married first. Would someone please explain this too me?"

Sirius shrugged and walked in front of the mirror to start slicking back his newly cut hair. "Can't help you there, mate, I've been trying to get these two hooked up with their ladies years ago, but so far you're the only luck I've had. And I didn't even do too much." He admitted.

"I'm not ready to be married, and I think I can speak for myself and Andy on that one." Remus murmured.

"Good excuse enough I suppose," Sirius said and then turned to James. "What about you? While we're on the subject of weddings."

James smirked and sighed as he sat down on a large comfy chair across from the couch. "Well, actually, you see..." He hesitantly reached in the robes of his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. He opened it and showed his friends.

Inside was a large diamond ring formed in the shape of a lily flower.

Sirius grabbed the box to get a better look at the huge rock inside.

"Shit Prongs! This is a diamond engagement ring that's worth more then Remus!" He cried out making Remus looked up and giving him an offended 'why me' look.

"That must be worth a fortune, more then I make in a year." Edgar said, squinting his eyes to try and get a better look at it.

"When are you going to ask her?" Frank asked looking over Sirius's shoulder at the ring.

"I was gonna do it last week, but I chickened out." James said taking the ring back from Sirius. "Besides she seemed real stressed with the wedding coming up and helping Alice."

"That's funny." Remus began, "Andy doesn't seem stressed in the slightest bit."

James snorted. "Well, Andy... she's... she's a bit..."

"Odd? Loony? Lose? Missing a few chess pieces?" Sirius helpfully put in.

"Quark unscrewed, snitch without wings..." Edgar added.

"Yes." James said and shot a look to Remus.

"S'okay," the werewolf said waving it away. "Trust me, I've heard worse."

They all nodded, they had all heard worse... much worse.

"But aside from that, James, this ring is amazing." Frank said unbelieving that he was able to afford a ring that large, but then again, he was born in wealth like many pure bloods. "You should ask her soon, weddings over, or almost, Voldemort hasn't had any recent attacks, or none that are that bad. So it's a good time, I'd say."

"He's right Prongsie, do it before Voldemort strikes again and we're all busy fighting the good fight and you have no time." Peter said from the corner as he tried to tie his tie. He wasn't a groomsmen, but Frank considered him one of his best friends and he still wanted him there with him, even if he wouldn't be up by his side during the ceremony.

Remus sighed and walked over to him. "Honestly, with as much dinner parties you attend with your parents, you'd think you'd know how to tie a bloody tie. But anyway he is right. Do it, do it before something bad happens."

"Like you're one to talk." James said putting the ring back in his pocket and patting it with his hand.

"Hey, I said I'm not ready, neither of us are, besides I don't even know if it's legal for us to marry." Remus said finishing Peter's tie and turning back to the rest of his friends.

James looked confused. "Why wouldn't it be?"

"We're werewolves, Jim, scum of the earth, remember?" Remus laughed off the subject with an obviously fake laugh. "We can have a union though."

"Not the same as a marriage, but if it is illegal, I'm sure Dumbles could pull some strings." Sirius said with a smile.

Remus shook his head and looked down, running his fingers through his hair. "I dunno, Pads, many things you have said to me have never come true, or come to pass, or even existed." He glared in Sirius's direction.

"Hey, when I said most of those things I thought them to be true."

"And you never bothered to look them up?" Remus asked with a raised eyebrow.

James laughed. "This is Sirius, you kidding? He never looks anything up. A library is a foreign concept to him."

"I would have loved to of known you all better in school." Edgar said and then their attention was turned to the door as it opened.

"Hey guys, I uh, I think you should start getting out here." Benjy said opening the door a bit too look in, he'd been busy taking care of things out in the main room. He had been in there with Frank all morning, and just left for ten minutes or so to see if everything was ready to go.

"Should we?" James said and peaked his head out the door as well. "Yeah, probably a good idea. C'mon then, time to take our positions troops!"

The group of young men walked out of the room and into the main room where the ceremony would be held. Not many people were there, only close friends and family.

Meanwhile in the brides dressing room, things were going to hell. And fast.

"Oh my God!" Alice cried as she strode across the room in a while gown. "Where is my veil? Lily, Lily, help me find it please!"

"Of course, of course," the red head replied. Her hair no longer curly, but straight down her back and over her shoulders. "Where did you see it last?" She asked as she threw pillows off the couch and moved make-up from off the table.

"I don't know! Maureen, have you seen it?"

Maureen looked confused, she had just entered the room from checking on things in the main room. "See what? What are we looking for?" She asked, panic rising in her voice.

"The veil!" Laura said her brown hair flying around her face.

Maureen looked horrified and began searching the small room for the light piece of fabric.

While this bustle for the missing veil was going on two girls sat on the couch and chair in complete harmony. Playing chess, and neither winning, they feared a stalemate was going to take place.

Andy moved her knight as Laura came over and began lifting up the ruffles on the bottom of her bridesmaids dress looking for the veil.

"Ain't under there," Andy said not even looking at her, all her concentration completely on the game.

"Couldn't we just accio it?" Heather asked and every girl in the room paused. Alice walked over to the table and picked up her wand, she murmured the charm and from on the table opposite the room a translucent white piece of fabric lifted up and floated over to Alice's hand.

"See that worked." Heather said moving her queen over one space.

"Urg, how can you two be so calm at a time like this!" Lily said as she stormed over. "Alice is in one of the most important moments of her life and here you are playing wizard's chess!"

"Easy." Andy replied and finally looked up from the board. "It ain't my weddin', besides," she looked back down to the game. "It'll turn out fine, always does."

"Does my hair look okay with this?" Alice asked as she placed the veil on her head and began fiddling with her short slightly spiked up hair. It would remind you of a future Nymphadora Tonks, except it was a natural color.

"It looks fine," Laura insisted as she walked over and stood behind her friend. "It looks fine now, just like it did at the store."

Andy grunted. "The store we were at for six dip shit hours."

"Trying on every dress in the place." Heather concluded.

Maureen glared at them for a moment before moving next to Laura in front of the mirror. "We have got to document this." She said and with a large poof and flash a picture was taken into the mirror. She had been taking pictures all day long; she even got one of Andy and Heather looking deathly bored earlier. They didn't do much, Heather wore some make-up, Andy lightened up on her make-up and both just kept their hair down.

Maureen took another picture sticking her head in the shot as well. The two girls playing chess rolled their eyes as Andy crushed Heathers king.

"How did that happen!?" She exclaimed.

"You weren't paying attention." Andy said folding her arms and leaning back.

Heather eyed the board and then looked up at Andy and said, "cheater."

"I did not cheat."

"You cheated."

"I did not."

"Yes you did."

"I did not."

The girls began overlapping one another in their argument and Lily turned around with fire in her eyes that matched her hair. "Would you two, just shut it? This is a wedding, a beautiful, happy, moment, something Alice should be celebrating for the rest of her life, I want you both you enjoy it and be happy!" She hissing holding her finger up at them.

"Are you okay Lily?" Alice asked turning around. "You seem awfully tense, and I am the bride here."

Lily put her hand to her head and sighed. "Oh I know, I know, I guess just the whole wedding business and all..."

"Do you want James to ask you?" Laura asked wringing her fingers together.

The red head shrugged and sat down next to Heather and Andy. "I don't know, I think, I might... I don't know, I mean I thought he would have asked me by now, maybe it had to do with moving in with his parents, but he found a place. A nice place, we both like it, and I don't know..."

"Well, maybe he's waiting for the right moment." Laura said sitting down and forcing Andy to move over a few inches. "You know, candle lit, under a twinkling star charmed ceiling, some instruments in the corner playing your favorite song, your favorite dinner and dessert brought to you by a nice proper house elf..." She trailed off with her eyes sparkling and staring off into space.

Heather watched with a blank look. "Sounds boring."

"Besides Sirius would never do that." Andy said as the girls began building a house out of a deck of exploding snap cards.

"Who says I wanted Sirius to do it?" Laura asked infuriated. "I broke up with him years ago!"

"It was only two." Heather murmured as she placed one card on top of the one Andy placed.

"All the same, I was over his ass years ago, and I will never go back." Laura said and strode over to the mirror to fix her hair.

"Then, I don't think you'll mind that you have to dance with him." Andy said walking over and bending over so her head was resting on Laura's shoulder.

"What!?" Laura cried and spun around. "I have to what?"

Heather came up on the other side of her. "Well it's true, you see, maid of honor dances with best man. A.k.a Maureen and Benjy, Andy is gonna dance with Remus, Lily with James, I'll be with Edgar and therefore you get Sirius." She smirked.

"Want to trade?" She asked desperately.

"Hell no," Heather said straightening up. "I wouldn't dance with him if my life depended on it."

Andy grinned and grabbed her shoulders. "You are so not gonna get out of this one."

She groaned and looked down.

"Hey guys," Maureen said by the door with a rushed urgent voice and waving her hand. "I hear the bleeding wedding march, let's go let's go Alice! Everyone!"

As they all rushed around the exploding snap cards exploded making them all jump and shoot glares at Heather and Andy.

The brides maids all ran out with Alice running best she could behind them with the heals on. They reached the doors and seconds later they opened to revel the girls just finishing handing out the small bouquets of flowers and begin walking. All the men at the end of the isle were already waiting for them.

The girls reached the alter and stood in their rightful spots across from the men. Frank bit his lip and glanced down for a split second before Alice walked out. When she did, he caught his breath in his throat. He though, she was absolutely gorgeous, her dress trailed behind her and her round face was complimented by the thin veil around her head. She smiled and blushed when she saw Frank stunned.

After the longest thirty seconds of her life she reached Frank and took his hand with her free one, she held the bouquet with her other hand. She saw his eyes look her up and down and a smile grace his face. She smiled back at him and were only pulled out of their trance when the preacher started speaking.

"Are you both ready?" He asked with humor in his voice, apparently he had been trying to get their attention for some time.

"Oh yeah... yea..." Alice said and Frank nodded still speechless.

"Then we'll begin." He began reading out of the bible and talk about the young couple. But none of the wedding party was really paying attention to it.

Aside from Alice and Frank there was more love in the room. James stared at Lily and she stared back at him. His hair, still sitting on top his head in all directions and his eyes still held that glint of mischief that would never really go away, but, little had to admit, he looked hansom in the dress robes.

'I love you' James mouth across the walkway at her and she smiled back and mouthed it to him as well.

'I love you too' Lily said back as she rocked slightly where she stood, flirting with James a little.

He stared at her, her hair no longer in curls and her teeth pearly white against her ruby red lips. Her green eyes were sparkling in the wonderful lighting of the room. Now he remembered why he wanted to ask this girl to marry him last week. Now he remembered and now no matter what came up nothing would stop him this time. If they were attacked by Lord Voldemort and placed in St. Mungo's he would ask her. If Quidditch throughout the world was canceled forever, he would still ask her.

Nothing was going to stop him.

But still, that was not all. Remus stared at Andy, her blond hair falling over her shoulder and almost reaching her waist. She wore no glasses today, her eyes were temporarily charmed, it would fade by the end of the day, it was just for the wedding. But her moderate make-up and pale skin made her gray eyes stand out.

The light blue/green dress was very different then the normal jeans and shirts she wore. Finally she caught his gaze and cocked her head to the side as if saying 'what'.

Slightly he shook his head, making his still lose bangs fall around his eyes, they were secure up on the sides of his head but they would never stay there. He smirked at her and she smiled back, laughing at him. He could have sworn she mouthed 'dumb ass' to him.

Laura looked around the room, with her eyes, trying to keep focused on Alice and Frank, who didn't seem to hear a word of what the preacher was saying. She was still reluctant to dance with Sirius, there was too much history there, it could get weird. As her brown eyes traveled around the room she caught Sirius looking in her direction, but the second he saw her looking his averted his eyes back to Alice and Frank. Laura couldn't help but smile.

Heather looked around the room, her eyed catching Chris in the fifth row on the groom's side. He looked a little bored, but stared ahead at the preacher as he continued to say the lines, so well rehearsed. She had to admit, he was kinda cute sitting here looking like that. It made her smile.

"I do." Were the simple words that snapped everyone out of their own thoughts. It just made them smile, just two words, no real special words, but the meaning behind them was remarkable.

"I do." Again, this time said by Alice.

"You may now kiss the bride."

Putting her arms around his neck and his around her waist the two were engrossed in a deep passionate kiss that made everyone clap and smile even wider.

Alice and Frank ran back down the isle and into the hallway. The reception would be taking place in the ball room of the place. It was only a short walk, soon, they had everyone on their heals following them as they entered the dolled up fancy room that was about to meet some of the worst drunks in the world.

Lisa: This is a two parter, with the reception mixed in here it would just be too long.

Steph: YES!

Lisa: Heather's not here, her computer died... and burned... and just crumbed to the ground in little hateful bits of crap.

Steph: YES!

Lisa: That's the only word she's capable of.

Steph: YES!

Lisa: ...

Steph: ... YES!
