XashXdawnX- This is the wedding so enjoy!

The gang had left school on Wednesday and were staying at Rocky's house. It was Saturday, the day of the wedding and all of the teens were staying out of the way.

Rocky sat on the top step of the stairs listening to all the chatting and last minute preperations from the Maid of Honor, Sasha who was Nikki's best friend in college.

When Rocky had heard that they were best friends in college her only thought was These two went to college?

Sasha was the same age as Nikki. She was very tanned, unlike Nikki with dark, fuschia hair that was to her waist and dark pink eyes. She was very pretty, but so ditzy.

"No! That'll clash! I specifically said roses! White roses! Not lilies!" Sasha screamed from somewhere downstairs.

Rocky laughed to herself and rose from the steps. She figured she might as well get dressed and take her time doing so.

Thankfully, the wedding was outside and thankfully Mother Nature was being kind and allowing this wedding to be a sunny, bright blue sky day.

Rocky entered her bedroom to find her friends sitting around.

"Where were you?" May asked once Rocky flopped down on her bed.

"Just out on the top stair. I was listening to Sasha. She's flipping out." Rocky explained with a giggle.

"Oh,"

Rocky ust nodded her head.

"Well we should probably go ahead and get ready. The wedding is in two hours and Sasha might want to make sure we look presentable." Rocky said rolling off of her bed.

The other three nodded their heads. Rocky slung opened her closet and removed her dress. The others followed and they took turns in the bathroom as they changed from pajamas to their dresses.

Once they were done Rocky grabbed her phone from her nightstand and dialed a number.

The others started on their hair and make up while Rocky stepped into the hall.

Rocky's POV

Pick up...Please.

After the third ring I was about to hang up when the ringing stopped.

"Rocky hi sweetie!" my mom's voice said through the other end.

"Hi mom!" I cried.

"How are you?"

"Good. Are you here? Are you coming?"

"My plane just landed. I'm still not sure if it's a good idea if I come. Did you ask you father?"

"It's all good. He said it was."

"What about Nikki? I think that's her name."

"Fine with her too mom."

"Okay well I will be there in just a few. Does your father still live in the same house he did when I saw you last?"

"Yes,"

"Okay well I'm on my way. Taxi!"

"Okay! See you when you get here! Love you!"

"Love you too sweetie."

The phone call ended and I smiled.

I walked back into my room with my smile still on my face.

"Why are you all smiley?" Leaf asked as she applied blush to her cheeks.

"No reason~" I sang.

"What did you do?" Dawn asked facing me with accusing eyes.

"I did nothing. I just invited someone. They've been knowing. I was just asking where they were."

"Oh, who was it?" May asked brushing her hair slowly.

"You will all see when she gets here." I replied and skipped into my bathroom to fetch my make up bag.

I started to apply my make up and then fixed my hair.

By the time we were done my phone rang. I grabbed it and answered it.

"Hello?"

"I'm at the house. How can I get in? There are so many people."

"I'll meet you at the side door." I said hanging up.

My friends looked at me confused and I walked out of my room. I walked quickly, but carefully down the stairs and towards the side door. I made sure none of Nikki's or my dad's friends were near before opening it.

My mom walked in with a dress bag in her hands.

"Come on have to hurry and get ready." I said.

She followed me up the stairs and to my room. I walked in and my mom followed me in.

"Mom meet Dawn Berlitz, Leaf Green, and May Maple. Guys this is my mom." I said introducing them to one another.

"It's nice to meet you." my friends said giving a small bow of the head.

"You too. Rocky has told me so much about you three. I want to thank you for becoming her best friends."

I looked at my mom for the first time in person. I hadn't seen her since last year. Her mom still looked the same. Same black hair, but it was short now, same redish brown eyes, and same pale complection.

I hugged my mom and she went to the bathroom to change into her dress.

"You and her look like twins." Dawn said shocked.

"Yeah I know," I replied with a smile.

"She knows Spanish too?" Leaf asked.

"Yes, her father was American her mom wasn't."

Leaf nodded her head.

"She's nice," May commented.

I nodded my head. After a few minutes my mom walked out. She wore a light, powderpuff pink dress that was to her knees. Her shoes consisted of white wedges.

"That's really pretty mum." I said.

"Thank you sweetie. Care to help me with my hair? I can't do anything with it since it's so short." she said sighing in annoyance.

My mom's hair was to her shoulders, but it wasn't as long as it used to be. It used to be to her mid back.

"I can't. I'm not good with hair that much. Dawn how about you help her?" I asked facing her.

Dawn nodded her head and walked my mom over to the mirror which she had been using a few minutes ago.

She started to starighten my mom's hair. Soon it was completely straight.

"There you go," she said stepping aside to let my mom see.

"Wow Dawn you have a wonderful touch. My hair has never been this straight." my mom said shocked.

"Thanks,"

NO POV

The girls stood in Rocky's room looking at their reflections. Dawn, May, Leaf, and Rocky wore their dresses they had brought from Gowns.

Dawn's hair was curled into ringlets and falling over her shoulders. May had pulled her hair into a tight bun and had framed her face with a few pieces of her side hair. Leaf had left her hair down and straightened it so it was even longer. Rocky had curled her hair and pulled it into a ponytail.

A knock came across Rocky's bedroom door.

"Who is it?" Rocky asked.

"Us," the guys voice came muffled by her door.

"It's open,"

The door opened and Ash, Dan, Drew, and Gary walked into the room. They all wore suits, but with different color shirts and ties.

Ash wore a dark blue shirt with a black tie. Dan wore a orange shirt with a white tie. Drew wore a peach colored shirt with a black tie. Gary wore a dark purple shirt with a black tie.

"Nice you four clean up nice." Rocky teased.

"Shut up,"

"Oh yeah mom meet Ash Ketchum, Dan Kuso, Drew Rose, and Gary Oak." Rocky said introducing them to one another.

"Nice to meet you," the four said bowing.

"Same here," Rocky's mom replied.

The nine left Rocky's bedroom to head outside to the backyard which is where the wedding would be held.

Rocky took her seat in the front of the fold out chairs while her friends and mom sat in the middle.

Her dad walked out of the house and stood waiting. The priest stood with a podium in front of him.

The wedding march started and all eyes went towards the back doors of the Blue's household.

Nikki walked out of the house. Beside her was her brother Sam. Their father had died when Sam was seven and Nikki was only three.

Sam had black hair that was to his shoulders, teal eyes, and he was pale. He wore a suit with a light blue shirt under his jacket.

The flower girl was Sam's daughter Skylar. Skylar was ten with black hair, dark purple eyes, and she was pale. She wore a dress that was a dusty purple and white flats.

Rocky found Renee who was Sam's wife. Renee had blonde hair that reached to her shoulders, purple eyes, and she was pale. Rocky had liked Sam and Renee a lot when she first met them Thursday.

Nikki was now standing beside Rock'y dad. Nikki's dress was really beautiful. It was strapless and form fitting. It sparkled in the sunlight. Her hair was curled and bounced as she walked.

The wedding started and soon it was going on to the vows.

"Do you Randy Blue take Nikki Cardens to be your wife?"

"I do," Rocky's dad replied.

"...And do you Nikki Cardens take Randy Blue to be your husband?"

"I do," Nikki replied softly.

The priest said something and none spoke.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Rocky's dad leaned down and kissed Nikki. Rocky turned her head away and closed her eyes.

Tears were being held behind her closed eyes. She opened her eyes and blinked the tears away.

She gave a forced happy smile towards her dad and Nikki...err her "new mom" she should say.

Rocky's POV

Once my dad and Nikki-my "new mom" had gone into the house for the reception I was about to go towards my friends and mom, but Sam, Renee, and Skylar walked over.

"Hey Rocky," Sam greeted hugging me.

"Hey," I replied.

"Well we just wanted you to know. You don't have to call us aunt or uncle. Just Sam and Renee is fine." Sam explained.

"Okay,"

"You look pretty Rocky." Skylar said.

"Thank you. You look pretty too."

Skylar smiled and gave me a hug before walking off with her parents.

At least they are nice. I thought as I slowly made my way to where my friends and mom were.

"Rocky are you okay?" my mom asked concerned.

"Yeah I'm fine." I replied, but my voice failed as it cracked.

"You all go on ahead. I need to speak to her." my mom told my friends in a kind, yet stern voice.

They nodded and retreated into the house for the reception.

"Let's take a walk okay?" my mom said leading me away from the house and towards the beach.

We were now by the water edge. I sat down and my mom sat beside me putting her arm acround me. Her arm on my shoulder and my head on her shoulder.

"Mom?" I asked softly.

"Yes,"

"How do I accept Nikki as my new mom?"

"It won't be easy. Try to accept her sweetie."

"How though? I can't stand her."

"I know baby." she replied rubbing my back.

"I just can't!" I cried becoming frustrated.

"Rocky your dad married her. Just try to be happy for him. Give it time." my mom said softly.

"I-she's just..."

"I know,"

"Mom I can't have a new mom! It's unfair!" I cried my voice and my voice cracked once again.

"I know, but your father is happy and in love."

"But your my mom not Nikki."

"I know, but Nikki is now your mom."

"I don't want her to be."

"I know baby. I know."

"Will I still be allowed to see you?"

"I don't know. Depends on your dad and Nikki."

"They can't keep me from my mom!"

"Actually they can you aren't eighteen yet baby. They are the legal guardians of you after all."

I just looked at my mom with a annoyed expression.

"I think I should tell you something." I said softly.

"What?"

"Daddy...Daddy doesn't know I invited you to the wedding." I muttered softly.

"What! Why?"

"I knew he would say no! I had to have you hear! I just couldn't stand to see him get married and not have my mom to talk to afterwards." I cried defending myself.

"Oh Rocky I'm so sorry. Still I can't go in there. If they see me it won't end well. I'll ruin the party baby."

"Like I care?"

"Rocky you know better."

"I'm sorry,"

"Thank you. Now I think I might need to leave."

"No mom please!"

"What Rocky?"

"I want to know the answers to these questions that haunt me every night."

"Which is?"

"Why? Why did you and dad divorce? Why was I forced to live with dad? What went wrong? And why didn't you both inform me that you were divorcing?"

"Baby, things just went wrong..."

Wrong? Many of the kids at school who have divorced parents said that their parents said "things just went wrong" which means "an affair happened". I thought and anger boiled up inside of me.

"Things just went wrong? That means an affair." I muttered becoming angry.

I looked at my mom's face and saw the look in her eyes.

"Yes," she said softly.

"Did dad have an affair?" I asked trying to stay calm.

My mom took a breath and looked at me.

"Kind of baby," she replied.

I felt something inside of me break.

"Why?" I asked trying to stay calm and not loose my composure.

"I don't know,"

"Who was it with?" I asked fearing that I knew exactly who it was.

My mom sighed and looked at the sky then at me.

"With Nikki sweetie. They didn't do anything, except kiss."

"He- that's why he married her?" I asked as my anger was about to burst out of me.

"Rocky let me tell you what he told me. Let me tell you a story."

I nodded my head and bit my tounge to keep from yelling.

"Your father and Nikki were high school sweethearts from ninth grade until their senior graduation. They broke up because she was going to college and he wasn't. Plus his mother didn't approve of Nikki." my mom explained.

They were high school sweethearts? No wonder mom was never in any of dad yearbooks. I thought.

"While he was in the town I was living in we met. We met because he saved my life. I had fallen off my families boat and hit my head on it when I fell. I was knocked out and he saved me. We got to know one another and over time we fell in love. We got married and had you."

I didn't know that was how they met. They never really told me.

"Well when the fights started that's when your dad told me. He told me that he had ran into Nikki. They had talked and had kissed. They realized that they were still in love with one another. Soon the fights became to much and I knew that your dad didn't love me anymore. So I signed the papers."

Suddenly everything made sense. The way dad reacted, what he said that dad, and why they seemed so comfortable around one another.

"I've been dating Nikki for a while now..."

"It all makes sense now. Why he reacted the way he did and everything..."

"Yeah. So now you know."

I just nodded my head and looked at the water.

"Why didn't I live with you?" I asked still looking at the water.

"The court wouldn't allow it since my job."

"Oh,"

I got up and dusted the sand from my dress. My mom stood up as well.

"Well Rocky I think I need to go." my mom said.

"No! Have you ever met Nikki?"

"No,"

"Well come on. You need to meet her after all if I'm going to be stuck with her I want you to know what she's like."

My mom sighed and followed me back towards the house. Once inside I found my dad and Nikki standing away from everyone drinking some of the fine, red wine.

"Dad," I said once I was near.

Mom had stayed back in the crowd waiting for the right moment.

"Hey sweetie. Where were you? I didn't see you during the cake cutting and dance." my dad asked giving me a hug.

I smelled the wine on his breath and crinkled up my nose.

"Sorry," he said since he saw my face.

"I was outside. I watched the dance, but it got stuffy." I replied lying smoothly.

"Oh,"

Nikki looked at me. She seemed scared that I might bite her head off if she spoke.

"Hi Nikki," I said giving a small smile.

"Hi," she replied softly.

I was confused since she is usually all talkative.

"I'm not going to hurt you." I said.

Nikki laughed and nodded her head.

"How about this weekend I take you shopping?" she asked.

I thought back to what my mom had told me.

Just try to accept her.

"Okay I would like that." I replied.

I saw my dad's eyes widen in shock and Nikki's smile widened. She nodded her head.

"Umm dad and Nikki I have to tell you something."

"What?"

"Dad I invited mom."

"I figured you would. You could have told me. Is she here?" my dad asked.

"Yes,"

"Go get her,"

I nodded and waved for my mom to come over. She walked out of the crowd and over to where I stood.

"Hello Celestina," my dad said.

"Hello Randy," my mom said.

"Celestina this is Nikki. Nikki this is Celestina."

"Nice to finally meet you." my mom said.

"Same here Celestina. You have a wonderful daughter."

"Thank you,"

I faded off into the crowd leaving the three adults to talk in private.

I walked along looking for my friends, but could not find them anywhere. I saw blue hair from the corner of my eyes, but when I looked I saw nobody with blue hair.

"Where did they go?" I asked myself.

I felt someone grab my hand and I jumped and also back-handed the person, but quickly realized it was Dan.

"You scared me Dan." I muttered turning around to face him.

"Sorry Rocky," he muttered.

"Where are the others?"

"Dancing I guess. I last saw Ash and May devouring the food."

I laughed and shook my head.

"Figures,"

"Where were you?"

"Out talking with my mom."

"Oh,"

I was glad Dan wasn't someone who pestered you until you told them what you talked about.

He leaned down and kissed me. I kissed him back and pulled away.

"What if the others see?" I asked glaring at him.

"You kissed me back. We'll blend in with the other couples here."

"Shut up. No we won't."

"How so?"

"We're teens,"

He just shrugged and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"We can dance you know." he muttered into my hair.

"Now you want to dance? You'll dance here, but not at the Wilde?" I teased.

"This is formal. The Wilde isn't."

I laughed and rested my head on his chest as we swayed to the music.

I lifted my head a few times and saw two sights that made me shocked. Drew and May were dancing with each other. Gary and Leaf were too.

"Wow what do you know. They can put away their differences and dance with one another." I muttered.

Dan looked and saw the four.

"Guess so,"

He looked and nudged me and pointed. I saw Ash and Dawn dancing too.

"They would be cute together." I said.

"Ash needs a girl like Dawn." Dan said agreeing with what I had said.

"Yeah they are perfect for each other."

Looks like Rocky is going to finally accept Nikki. Will it last though?
