P.O.V.: Krystye
The wedding is in two days. I am now eighteen years old. Kendall and I went on a date, as our last date before the wedding. Camille and Jo were scrambling to finish planning the bachelorette party, and James, Logan, and Carlos were scrambling to finish planning Kendall's bachelor party.
"I can't wait until the wedding," I said.
"Neither can I. How you avoided Bridezilla is beyond me," Kendall said.
"Same here," I said.
Flashback: Third Person P.O.V.
"I said I wanted salads with ranch dressing, not raspberry vinaigrette!"
"I said NO halibut! NO fish whatsoever! I hate fish and so does Kendall!"
"I said lilies, not roses!"
"What idiot said pink? I specifically said green!"

"Yeah, I totally kept my cool," I said finally.
"Well, that's good," Kendall said.
We were at the beach. I loved the California weather in winter. Way better than Minnesota, that's for sure. I was wearing my purple bikini with a green one of those tie-on beach skirt-things. Kendall and I were in the water, splashing each other and laughing.
"I'm gonna miss you tomorrow," Kendall said.
"Why is that?"
"Because of the bachelor party."
"Please promise me there will be no strippers or alcohol."
"I promise. As a matter of fact, I told James that those two things are not allowed."
"Good. I don't want you hung over or in jail on our wedding day."
"Don't worry, I won't be."
"Good."

P.O.V. change: Third Person
"Kendall, you better have fun at that bachelor party!" Krystye said to her fiancé.
"Krystye, you better have fun at that bachelorette party!" Kendall said to his fiancé.
"I will," both said before Camille pulled Krystye to the girls' party and James pulled Kendall to the boys' party.
At the girls' party, there were only girls, nothing inappropriate, just a girls' night out. Camille and Jo were setting out a full punch bowl and a few tall stacks of paper cups. The blonde Jennifer placed a trash can at the end of the table.
"Jennifer?" Camille asked.
"Yeah. I love weddings, especially lavish ones like what you're gonna throw for Krysdall," the blonde Jennifer said.
"Yeah, it's so lavish, we spent five months planning it," Jo said.
"Yeah, I heard Bridezilla freaking out back in September," Jennifer said.
"Yeah, we accidentally ordered roses, not lilies," Camille said.
"She's crazy," the black-haired Jennifer said.
"And insane," the curly-haired Jennifer said.
"Aren't those the same?" the blonde Jennifer said.
"Anyways, enjoy the party!" Jo said before the Jennifers walked away.
"I can't believe the wedding is tomorrow!" Camille said.
"Yep, and I've seen Logan's outfit. He's gonna look great," Jo said.
"Yeah, he always does," Camille replied.
"Just think: it's all because of Krystye's advice that you two are still together," Jo said.
"Okay, enough about me. It's not like I'm getting married tomorrow. Krystye is. And she needs to enjoy her final night of unmarriedness," Camille said.
"That's not a word."
"Don't care."
"Girls, I'm just having so much FUN!" Krystye said. She was bouncing on her feet.
"Sugar high?" Jo asked.
"Yep!" Krystye said. She strapped on some moon shoes and bounced around the place.
"Where'd she get those?" Camille asked.
"Kendall gave them to her for their anniversary," Jo replied.
"Anniversary?"
"Yeah, the day after Christmas was the day they got together."
"Oh, yeah. I remember how heartbroken you were," Camille said.
"Not helping, Camille," Jo said.
"Sorry."
"But James Diamond will be mine," Jo said.
"Jo, you've been after him for a year now! Relax and stop that!" Camille said.
"He wants me, he just doesn't know it," Jo said.
"Jo, enough about James Diamond. He isn't here anyways, so enough about him! He's at Kendall's bachelor party!" Camille said.
At the boys' party, it was about the same as the girls' party, only a little wilder.
"We are so the Hollywood Super Party Kings of Hollywood," James said to Carlos.
"Yeah, dude! This party is SICK!" Carlos said.
"Yeah!" James said.
"And you don't have Jo after you," Logan said.
"Dude, the only thing missing is… what?" Kendall slurred. James sighed in anger and slammed his glass into a table.
"Okay, who the hell spiked the punch?" James shouted.
"Dude, nobody's gonna talk," Logan said.
"Ugh, fine. But because of somebody spiking it, the groom is mildly drunk. Carlos, go to our apartment and get the boxes labeled backup soda," James said. Carlos went to do so.
"You anticipated this?" Logan asked.
"Actually, I anticipated running out of punch, not someone spiking it," James said with a groan. He went over to the punch bowl. He put some in a cup and sniffed it. He handed it to Logan.
"Dude, sniff that to see if there's anything in it besides fruit punch," James said. Logan groaned and sniffed the liquid.
"Dude, I don't smell anything," Logan said finally.
"Oh, wait, there it is," Logan said, cringing back from the cup.
"Dammit!" James cursed. Carlos came back with four 12-packs of soda.
"Dude, need help with that?" Logan asked.
"Please," Carlos said. Logan took two of the boxes.
"Thanks, man," Carlos said. The two put the sodas on the table after James removed the punch bowl. James poured the contents out into the grass, then went to a corner. He grabbed the mini-fridge they had bought, checked inside to make sure nothing was in it, and then put it on the table. He and Logan stocked the fridge with the sodas.
"They can't be spiked now," James said. Kendall was only buzzed, so he was fine.
"Hey, James, dude, this party is pretty cool," Kendall said.
"I see you're out of a stupor," James said.
"Yeah. What happened the past few minutes?"
"Nothing important."
"Oh, okay," Kendall said. Logan had a hand on his chest, and a frantic expression on his face.
"Dude, are you okay?" James asked.
"My necklace is gone!" Logan said.
"Did you put it on this morning?" Carlos asked.
"Yeah, I did! I had it when I was helping you with the boxes, and now I don't," Logan said.
"What did it look like?" James asked.
"It was a silver half-heart with a K on it," Logan said.
"What was that for again?" Carlos asked.
"It was a best-friend necklace! Krystye has the other half! Note that there's a K on it! Krystye's has an L," Logan said.
"Found it!" James said, holding up a silver necklace with a half-heart on it. Logan took it, and looked at it to make sure it really was his. It had the familiar K on it, and he turned it over. On the back was engraved his and Krystye's last name, Mitchell. The necklace was slightly tarnished, but what wouldn't be after a year?
"This is it. Thanks, James," Logan said, pulling him into a bro-hug. He put it back on and hid the little half-heart under his shirt like he always did.
At the girls' party, Krystye had her sugar crash, and was laying on the ground, moon boots still on her feet. She raised a hand to her neck. She had taken off all of her necklaces except for two; her necklace from Kendall and the one from Logan. She felt one chain, but not the other. She felt the pendant on that chain, and it was the whole heart, not the little half-heart. She shot up to a sitting position.
"Camille, Jo, my necklace is gone!" she said. Camille took notice and they walked over to her.
"What does it look like?" Jo asked.
"It's a silver half-heart with an L on it," Krystye said. Camille searched the floor.
"What was that for again?" Jo asked.
"It's a best-friend necklace. Logan has the other half. Note the L. Logan's has a K."
"Found it!" Camille said. Krystye took the necklace and examined it to see if it was the right one. It had the familiar L on it, and she turned it over. It had her soon-to-be maiden name and Logan's last name on it, Mitchell.
"Thanks, Cami," Krystye said. Jo helped her to her feet.
"I'm really tired. Maybe if I just…" Krystye said before falling to the floor, asleep.
"Sugar crashes are annoying," Camille said.
"You said it, sister."
"Did you get somebody to marry them?" Camille asked.
"Yeah, I did. He'll be at the chapel at 11 PM," Jo said.
"Why they wanted an evening wedding is beyond me," Camille said.
"So the big kiss lands at midnight, when 2011 turns to 2012!" Jo said.
"Of course," Camille said.
At the boys' party, things were going a lot smoother.
"Dude, you know what the best birthday present I get tomorrow will be?" Kendall asked.
"What?" Logan asked.
"The ability to marry Krystyna Louisa Mitchell," Kendall said, holding a can of Dr. Pepper.
"My birthday present is a new brother-in-law named Kendall," Logan said.
"Yeah, I get a brother-in-law named Logan," Kendall said, laughing a little.
"Yeah, this next year will be so crazy," Logan said.
"Yeah…"
