The Rehearsal Dinner Part 1
Suzie, Flip, Nancy, Mimi, and Scooter all arrived back at the Chan mansion just in time to see Henry getting out of the Chan van, he was now off work, he cut produce at the supermarket.
"How was work?" Suzie asked Henry.
"My day was a killer," Henry exclaimed. "I'm so hungry I could eat a whole container of cut up mixed fruit all by myself!"
"Well, Henry," Flip commented. "Elizabeth has been slaving over a hot stove all morning making your favorite meal for lunch."
"You mean?" Henry asked.
"That's right, Henry," Suzie said. "Elizabeth cooked up orange chicken & brown rice with mixed vegetables with a hint of ginger on the side."
"Mmmm! My favorite," Henry exclaimed. "plus, that is what I would like for dinner on my birthday, plus, fresh fruit for dessert, that way, Anne won't have to work so hard baking a cake!"
At lunch that day, Stanley filled Henry & James in on their duties for Zarinda & Illusio's wedding.
"We are all going to be groomsmen, Mate?" James asked Stanley.
"That's right." Stanley answered James. "and Alan isn't feeling too well today, Henry, so he's resting right now."
"When will the rehearsal dinner be and where will it be, Stanley?" Henry asked.
"It will be on the night of the first of February," Stanley answered Henry. "and here at the restaurant downstairs."
"Well, it's a good thing Alan is resting," Henry stated. "because we all want him to be strong and well enough for Zarinda & Illusio's wedding."
And sure enough, by Friday February 1st 1980, Alan was feeling like his old self again, he was all the way better.
