P.O.V.: Logan Mitchell
"What do you mean Grandma Mitchell died? No, she's not dead, just in a coma. Yeah, that's it! She can't be dead! SHE CAN'T BE DEAD!" Krystye shouted, grabbing my shirt. I pushed her off.
"Krystyna, she was a hundred and four!" I said.
"She can't be dead!" Krystye said in a deranged voice.
"She's in denial," I said to Kendall.
"Or she's terribly deranged," Kendall said.
"Hey, you're gonna marry her. Get used to it," I said.
"I'm willing to put up with it," Kendall said.
"Your choice," I said. Krystye was still freaking out. I grabbed her arm.
"Krystye! Calm down. We're gonna sing at the funeral over Skype like we did for James' grandma's funeral back in December," I said. She continued freaking out.
"Watch and learn, Kendall. You're gonna need this information later on," I said before I did something that always calmed her down. I grabbed her hand and ran circles on the inside of her palm. It's worked since we were kids. She sighed and her eyes closed for a second. She opened them and was smiling, a calm look on her face.
"Thanks, Logan," she said, her voice calmer than ever.
"Now don't use that too much or she'll think you're trying to control her. Only use that if she's freaking out and won't stop," I said. Kendall nodded.
"Okay, the funeral's on Saturday. We're gonna sing the same song we sang for Grammy Diamond's funeral," I said. Krystye was about to break down into tears.
"You got this, Kendall," I said before sitting on the couch. Krystye sobbed into Kendall's shoulder as he comforted his fiancé.
Time skip: a couple of hours later
P.O.V. change: Kendall Knight
Krystye had left with Camille and Jo (who loved planning weddings and had gone down from her craziness for a while) to pick out a wedding dress and plan their bachelorette party.
"Dude, Krystye's having a bachelorette party. We've got to have a bachelor party for you, dude!" James said.
"Dude, that's a great idea!" Carlos said.
"You're not taking me to a-"
"No, dude! We're WAY more modest than that!" James said.
"Good, because I'm not going somewhere to-"
"Dude, relax. We're probably gonna have a party with the Palm Woods residents!" Carlos said.
"So we can become the Hollywood Super Party Kings of Hollywood!" James said.
"You said Hollywood twice," Logan said.
"You bet I did," James said.
"Okay, but no alcohol because we're not 21!" I said.
"Deal," James said.
"And my mom has to supervise!" I continued.
"Deal," Carlos said.
"Okay, then, let's get to planning. Kendall, get out," James said.
"What? Why?" I asked.
"Because you aren't supposed to know what the activities are, Kendall," Logan said.
"Before I leave, I want to say… Logan, wanna be my best man?" I asked.
"Dude, sure!" Logan said.
"Why'd you pick him?" James whined.
"Dude, he's my fiancé's twin brother. It only makes sense. You two can be groomsmen," I said before leaving. I heard a shout of 'YES' coming from inside. I smiled and walked to the lobby. Camille spotted me.
"KENDALL! Get out of here! You can't be here!" Camille said. I ran out the door to the pool.
"Dude, I hear you're getting married! Can I play the wedding march at the ceremony?" Guitar Dude asked.
"Yeah, dude. I don't think my fiancé will hate it," I said.
"Awesome!" Guitar Dude said before playing the wedding march on his guitar.
"Dude, save it for New Year's Day," I said.
Oh yeah, I was born on New Year's Eve, so that's when I turn eighteen, in turn making that the day of the wedding.
I saw Katie resurfacing from under the pool.
"Hey, Katie. Wanna do me a favor?" I asked.
"What is it?" Katie asked.
"Will you be the flower girl for my wedding? You're the youngest girl I know," I said.
"Sure, I'll be flower girl. If Tyler can be the ring bearer," Katie said.
"Sure," I said.
"Yo Tyler! You're the ring bearer at the Krysdall wedding!" Katie shouted.
"Thanks Katie and Kendall!" Tyler shouted.
"He really wanted to be a ring bearer while he was still young," Katie said.
"Glad I could be of service," I said. Tyler walked up to me.
"Thanks, dude. When's the wedding?" Tyler asked.
"New Year's Eve," I answered.
"Nice," Tyler said before running off.
P.O.V. change: Krystye Mitchell
"This dress is perfect!" Jo said.
"Okay, there are two things wrong with this dress. It costs three hundred bucks, and it's white. I can't have white! I am not pure!" I complained.
"The white dress symbolizes purity!" Camille said.
"Camille, I fucked James, I fucked Carlos, and I fucked Kendall!" I said.
"Okay, white is a no-no," Camille said.
"Should we use place cards?" Jo asked.
"Yes, but we're not doing assigned seating. I say have all of the place cards at a table at the entrance, everyone finds theirs, and sit wherever they want," I said.
"Okay, that works," Jo said, writing something in a notebook.
"It's pretty obvious you guys are gonna be my bridesmaids," I said.
"Really?" Camille said.
"Yep. Kendall wants to ask Logan to be his best man and the rest of the band to be groomsmen. He also wants Katie to be the flower girl," I informed.
"Well, we have about five months to plan this wedding. It's on Kendall's birthday, right?" Jo asked.
"Yep, New Year's Eve," I said.
"Okay, so we have five months," Camille said.
"Think about your dress!" Jo said, shoving a catalogue into my hands.
"I'm going to a thrift store to buy my dress. They're usually no more than a hundred bucks," I said, standing up.
"Okay, then. Just inspect every aspect of the dress before you buy it! You have money, right?" Jo asked.
"I have two hundred bucks," I said, holding up my wallet.
"Good," Camille said as we all stood up and left for the nearest thrift store.
"Wanna have BTR play at your wedding?" Camille asked.
"Both the bride and the groom are in BTR, Cami," Jo said.
"Exactly. It should be a lovey-dovey song, and Kendall and Krystye are singing to each other!" Jo said.
"We'll have to ask the guys," I said.
"Second choice?" Jo asked.
"If BTR can't play at the wedding because they're the wedding party, then I don't want a band to play," I said.
"Okay, we're here," Camille said. I looked at the sign to see 'Thrift Store' written in neon letters. We walked in and went straight to the wedding dresses.
"What size are you, Krystye?" Camille asked.
"10," I said.
"Dang, girl, you're tiny," Jo said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"Nothing," Jo said. We looked through dresses.
"Nothing here that's not white," Camille said.
"I'll wear white if my veil is a different color," I said.
"Okay, then… Here's something! You like?" Camille said as she pulled a dress from the hanger. She held it to my tall figure.
"I like it," Jo said.
"I like it!" I said.
"Go try it on," Camille said, rushing me to a dressing room.
"Keep an eye out for Kendall," I said. The dress was strapless white with little beads running down it in curls on the bodice. The skirt of it was poufy and would make me look like a princess. I tried on the dress, and it fit perfectly. Luckily, I was wearing my strapless surfer top, so I had my strapless bra on. I stepped out of the dressing room, and Jo and Camille loved it.
"That's your dress!" Jo and Camille said. I went back into the dressing room and took the dress off. I bought the dress, which cost 100 bucks, and put it in a black garment bag to put it in my closet. We entered the apartment to see James, Carlos, and Logan hanging out in the living room.
"Well, if it isn't the bride-to-be!" Carlos said.
"I just bought my wedding dress," I said.
"Can we see?" James asked, causing the other two to nod their heads.
"Can I see too?" Mama Knight asked.
"Yes, you can all see. Jo, watch the door for Kendall," I said. I opened the garment bag, revealing the dress.
"It's beautiful!" Mama Knight said.
"You're gonna look great," Logan said. I closed the garment bag and went to put it in my side of the closet.
"So, who's gonna 'give me away' since my dad isn't here?" I asked.
"I could do it, then join Kendall as best man," Logan said.
"Sounds like a plan," I said as Jo wrote this in a notebook.
"Okay, we need to work on the funeral music. Someone get Kendall," I said. James went to get him as Carlos went to get Kendall's guitar. Kendall came in with James a minute later.
"Hey, beautiful," he said, hugging me from behind.
"Where were you, handsome?" I asked.
"The pool asking Katie if she wanted to be flower girl. She said yes, and we have a ring bearer," Kendall said.
"Who?"
"Tyler," he answered.
"Sounds good," I said.
"We need to work on the funeral song. We're doing More Than a Band," Logan said.
"Okay, I need my guitar," Kendall said, letting me go. Carlos handed Kendall his guitar. We played the song through a couple of times. We smiled as we finished the song.
"The funeral is on Saturday, in three days. Once we finish that, we can go all-out on the wedding and the bachelor and bachelorette parties," Logan said.
"Okay. Meanwhile, I need my Kenny to console me," I said, going over to Kendall as he put his guitar down. We made out for a half hour before we were startled.
"Guys, we need to do some stuff," Logan said.
"Okay, Killjoy," I said, causing Kendall to laugh.
"Like what, future brother-in-law?" Kendall said.
"Gustavo wants to run a few songs," Logan said.
"Okay, let's go," Kendall said after I stood up. He stood and we went to the car to drive to Rocque Records.
"So, I hear Kendall and Krystye are getting married! Congratulations! Now let's run Music Sounds Better With U!" Gustavo said. We ran the song, and Gustavo loved it.
"Great job! Now the reason I called you guys here is to view the new If We Were a Movie music video!" Gustavo said. We cheered. Gustavo wheeled in the same screen we used for the Skype convo at Grammy Diamond's funeral. Gustavo hit a button, and the video played. It started with a small scene without music with Kendall and I talking.
"So, Kendall… What's the slope for y=3x+4?" I asked in the video.
"Three," Kendall said in the video.
"Thanks," I said, writing something down.
"So, have you met my new girlfriend Danielle?" Kendall asked.
"Yeah, I have."
"You have no idea how pretty she is, and how great her kisses are… She and I are going to the upcoming Homecoming dance," Kendall said.
"I'm going with Carlos," I said.
"Are you dating him?" Kendall asked.
"No," I said, a sad look on my face.
That's when the music started. It went to a glamour shot, then back to the bedroom scene. It then showed Carlos and I talking in a school hallway. I looked sad, and Carlos put a hand on my back. It went to a glamour shot, then to the school dance scene. Kendall was kissing Camille (Danielle), and I jumped onstage and sang. Kendall was in the front by the stage and I leaned down to sing to him. After that, Kendall said goodbye to Camille and danced with me. He and I kissed right before the song started fading. The kiss lasted until the video finally faded to black.
"WHOOO!" We all cheered.
"We're gonna release it to MTV, VH1, and all of the other music channels. So, can I be in the wedding?" Gustavo asked.
"You can be a groomsman," Kendall said.
"And Kelly can be a bridesmaid!" I said.
"I'd love to," both said. Kendall and I smiled.
"I knew you guys would say that," I said.
"Go back to the Palm Woods. Don't forget that music comes first, then wedding," Kelly said.
"We totally understand," Kendall said, and I nodded in agreement.
"Dude, we've got to plan your bachelor party! Have fun!" James said to Kendall as he, Carlos, and Logan left.
"Camille and Jo are probably planning my bachelorette party," I said, smiling.
"Yeah, that night's probably gonna suck. A lot," Kendall said with a smile.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I won't be with you," Kendall said.
"Aww," I said.
"Guys, you might want to go now," Kelly said.
"Right, sorry," Kendall and I said as we left.
"I really want to see your dress," Kendall said when we got to the Palm Woods lobby.
"Uh-uh! Nope! It's bad luck to see the dress before the wedding!" I said. Kendall pouted.
"Not gonna work on me," I said. Kendall cursed under his breath.
"You're not seeing that dress until December 31 and that's final!"
