I'm glad I actually got to get this out. Here's the new chapter! I had a lot of fun writing it. I hope you guys enjoy it!


"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Groaning again, Kim opened her eyes a little and looked around before closing them and settling down to sleep again. She heard the door to her bedroom open and footsteps ran into her room. It was shortly followed by three more sets of footsteps. Kim felt three lumps plop on her bed around her.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY!!!! I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY!!!!"

Kim finally opened her eyes. She threw her sheets off, forgetting her friends were lying on her bed, too. She carefully got out of bed, making sure to not step on anybody. She glanced at the clock, saying 5:56. Kim rolled her eyes.

"I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY!!!"

Kim walked into the bathroom, laughing to herself at how excited Aisha was.

"I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY!!! I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY!!!"

Aisha was running around the room, waving her arms. She fell over with a thud as Kim stepped out of the bathroom. Amy, Hayley, and Trini sat up as they heard Aisha fall. She was still waving her arms around. "I'M FINE, I'M FINE!!!! IT'S OKAY!!! I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY!!!!"

Laughing, Kim pulled her up. "Calm down, 'Sha. Have you eaten breakfast, yet?"

"No, I haven't. No time. Let's start with my make-up and move on to my hair. Getting dressed will probably be the hardest, but I have you guys for that. Hurry, guys, the photographer will be here in--" Aisha looked at the clock on Kim's nightstand, "six hours and the limo will be here a four hours after that."

Kim put her hands on Aisha's shoulders and gently pushed her down onto her bed. "We have enough time, 'Sha. Let's eat some breakfast, get showered. Your mother should be on her way, as well as Rocky's mom. And the hair and make-up people will be on their way." Aisha made the motion to stand again, but was promptly pushed back again by Kim. "The photographer wanted shots of you getting ready anyway, so we'll get breakfast, you'll shower, my hair and make-up people will come whenever I call. Let's just get downstairs and get some breakfast."

Recognizing defeat, Aisha sheepishly stood up. "Sorry, I just can't wait." She headed out the door, followed by her friends. Kim hung around, pressing a couple of buttons on her cell phone.

"Morning, Beautiful," Tommy said as he answered the phone. "What's up?"

"Good morning, Handsome," Kim said. "Nothing, just wanted to say hello to my favorite boyfriend."

"I better be your favorite boyfriend. All those other ones just have to settle for second."

Kim giggled. "Of course."

"How are things going over there?"

"Well, Aisha is not the basket case she's been for the past week. She just woke all of us up, wanting to get ready right now, but I think we've somewhat calmed her down. We're trying to get breakfast into her." Kim walked out of her room, down the hallway and stairs. She heard the girls trying to figure out what to eat. "How's everything with you guys?"

"Well, Rock woke all of us up at around 4:30, waving his hands around and yelling, 'I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY!' We finally got tired of it and tried to shut him in the bathroom, but that just made his voice magnify twenty times louder. And then he started singing. Broadway. So we all just decided to wake up."

Kim laughed. "They so deserve each other. Aisha did the same. Minus the Broadway." She listened to her friends arguing over what to eat. "I think the girls are trying to figure out what to eat."

"Figure no more, Beautiful. Open the door."

Kim walked to the door. "Nuh-uh. Don't tell me Tommy Oliver is here, being the white knight that he always is." She opened the door and saw Tommy standing in front of her, holding a couple of bags from the local bagel shop and two large jugs of coffee from Dunkin' Donuts. He was balancing his cell phone between his ear and his shoulder. Kim laughed at the sight and grabbed the coffee. Tommy followed her into her house. "You didn't have to do this."

"I know. I wanted to." Tommy kissed her cheek. "And I could not stand hearing Rocky sing 'Get Me To The Church On Time' again."

Kim laughed again. She headed for the kitchen. "Problem solved, ladies." She put the coffee down on the table. Immediately, Hayley, Amy, and Trini grabbed mugs and started pouring.

Aisha's eyes widened. "Dunkin' Donuts? There is no way I am eating donuts on the morning of my wedding!"

Tommy followed Kim into the kitchen. "Don't worry, 'Sha. No donuts here." He held up his bag of bagels. "And I got all of your favorites, so grab one." He set down the the bags and immediately, the girls dug into it.

Aisha, however, still looked horrified. "Carbs, Tommy?"

Kim rolled her eyes. "You need something to get you through the day." She thrust a bagel in her hands. "Eat. Drink." She set a mug of coffee down in front of her. "I'm going to call Tony, Shawn, Melissa and Laurie to let them know to come on over now." She looked at Tommy. "Tony and Shawn are gonna do our make-up and Mel and Laurie are doing our hair."

"So early?" he asked. "It's not even eight, yet."

Kim looked at the clock, surprised. "I'm beginning to sound like you, 'Sha."

Aisha glared at her. "Just wait until you get married, Kim." Kim looked at Tommy uncomfortably. She laughed it off, nervously. Not that she didn't want to get married. She knew she did and she knew she wanted it to be Tommy, but she thought it was too soon to even think about. Not that it hasn't been on her mind, because it has. Especially with all the wedding preparations for Rocky and Aisha's wedding.

Tommy just smiled at the comment. "So, how are you doing , 'Sha? I know Rocky can't wait."

"Did he tell you that? Are you sure? I really don't have time to talk. Got to get ready for tonight." Aisha continued to ramble on as Tommy's eyes grew wider.

"I'm sorry I asked," he said loud enough for Kim, Amy, Hayley, and Trini to hear. They laughed.

"Kim, is everything set up at the church? The flowers and everything? What about at the reception? The place settings, the candles. Kira knows where the stage is right? She knows where to set up?" Everyone rolled their eyes. Hayley grabbed a notepad of paper and a pen nearby. She started writing. "The cocktail place is ready, too, right? The tables."

Kim took a deep breath and exhaled. "Calm down, 'Sha. Don't worry. We saw yesterday that everything's set up. All we need are the people and the food amd we'll be ready to go."

"Oh no, what if nobody comes?" she cried hysterically.

"People will come," assured Tommy, Kim, Amy, Hayley, and Trini.

"And besides," added Kim, "does it matter if no one shows up? You guys will be getting married, your closest friends will be there, what more could you want?"

Aisha sighed. "Thanks, Kim. I knew there was a reason you're the maid of honor. I do have the best best friend and maid of honor, ever."

Kim winked at her. "I was wondering when you were going to be saying that today."

Tommy's phone rang. He looked at it and opened it. "What's up, Jase?"

"Bro, where are you?" Jason's voice sounded frantic. "He's singing that song from The Phantom. Why didn't you bring me with you? Listen. Can you hear him?"

Tommy heard a loud, extremely off-key voice in the background. He started laughing. "Hang on a sec, Bro." Tommy put his phone on speaker so everyone could listen.

"Say you love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me...
"

The girls and Tommy laughed out loud. "Sorry, Jase. I brought some breakfast over for the girls."

"Think of me
Think of me fondly when you say gooooooodbye"

The girls grimaced as Rocky hit that high note. "And he just had to sing all the girl parts," said Trini.

"And you couldn't bring me with you!" Jason sounded angry over the phone, though he seemed on the verge of laughter.

"It's not unusual to be loved by anyone"

Tommy and the girls cracked up again, hearing Rocky's voice change songs. They all heard laughter coming from the other end of the phone. "He's doing the Carlton dance!" Jason was snorting between breaths. The girls and Tommy laughed even harder.

"That is something we have to see later," Trini said between breaths.

"Agreed," laughed Amy.

Aisha was wiping tears from her eyes. "I think I needed to hear that, today. I could only imagine..." Aisha started laughing again.

Kim shook her head, laughing. She leaned over against Tommy. He put his arm around Kim, leaning against her as he laughed. "I guess that's my cue to head back to the guys." He put his phone up to his mouth. "I'm heading back, Jase."

"Alright." Jason barely got his answer out, still laughing from the sight of Rocky doing the infamous Carlton dance from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

"Ladies, I will see you all later." He stood up and kissed Kim. She was still laughing. Tommy walked around the kitchen, giving each of the women a kiss on the cheek. He hugged Aisha. "I'll tell Rock to save that dance for the honeymoon."

Aisha laughed. "Thanks, Tommy."

He nodded to her and everyone else. "I'll let myself out." Kim nodded, still laughing.

As soon as they heard the door shut, Aisha looked serious again. "Alright, girls we need..."

Before going into another long-winded ramble, Hayley thrust the notepad she had in front of Aisha. "I've made us a schedule."

Kim perked up. She moved next to Aisha to read it over her shoulder. "Wow, Hayles, thanks," Kim said. "You've just made this day so much more easier on me."

"On you?" Aisha exclaimed. Kim nodded.

Hayley laughed. She started pointing to the list she made. "Breakfast till 8:30. Your mother's coming around then, right?" Aisha nodded. "Kim will call Tony and everyone. We could relax for a bit. A long bit since the photographer's not coming until around noon. We'll shower around ten, eleven or so, that way the hairdressers can fix you guys up in intervals. And then we'll have the make-up done and make sure we're dressed by four. We'll take some pictures and head to the church around 5:30. So we should get the ceremony started on time. What time are the guys coming over?"

"Around four, four-thirty," answered Kim. "Alright, so by four, we need to make sure 'Sha's dressed and already took her pictures so Rock won't be able to see her later."

"Sounds good." Aisha grinned at her friends before taking another sip of coffee. It was going to be the most perfect day. She hoped.


Kim grinned as she stood next to between Aisha and Trini. Amy was on Aisha's other side.

"Great shot of the bride with her girls," the photographer said.

"Sorry to interrupt," started Hayley, "but Tommy said the guys are on their way. They"ll be here in two minutes."

"I've got to go hide," Aisha said.

"Alright, let's go back to my bedroom," said Kim.

"Come on, sweetie." Aisha's mother took her arm and led her up the stairs to Kim's bedroom.

The photographer then called for all the bridesmaids to group together. Kim, Amy, and Trini stood together in front of the fireplace. "Smile, ladies!" They all cheesed and continued to take advantage of the glamour shots. Kim excused herself when she felt the flashes get a little too much for her eye. She went to the kitchen, pouring herself a glass of water.

"You feeling okay?" Hayley asked.

Kim nodded. "Just got a little crowded in there."

"Midniiiight
All alone in..."

Kim and Hayley turned their heads at the horrifying sound. Rocky threw open the French doors that led to Kim's backyard from the kitchen and he made his grand entrance, followed by Tommy, Jason, Zack, and Billy, who were chatting very nonchalantly to each other, as if they didn't hear him at all. Adam brought up the rear, typing away at his Blackberry. Kim gave him a pointed look, but he ignored her.

"Sing once again with me
Our strange duet"

Hayley threw her hands over her ears.

"You get used to it after awhile," Billy said as he gave her a kiss.

"You look beautiful." Tommy hugged Kim. "As always."

Kim smiled at him. "Thank you. You're not so bad yourself." She glanced at Adam over Tommy's shoulder. She glared at him as they made eye contact. He excused himself as he went back outside.

"He's here...the phantom of the opera"

Rocky covered half of his face with his hand. Kim and Hayley started laughing while the guys shook their heads.

"Awww, you know what we should've made today?"

"You mean, besides your wedding day, Rock?" Kim said sarcastically.

He rolled his eyes at her. "We should've made it a masquerade!"

"And, why, pray tell, is that?" asked Hayley.

"Please...these are like the first things he hasn't sung all day," said Zack. "Since 4:30 in the morning! And don't forget Billy and I are jet-lagged. So it was like 1:30 for us!"

"So," Rocky started. He jumped on the kitchen table and covered his face once more. "We could walk around going

"Masquerade
Paper faces on parade
Masquerade
Hide your face so the world will never find you"

Everyone laughed as Rocky even did the dance moves to match what he was singing.

"It kind of scares me that he knows all that," Tommy said, laughing between breaths.

Kim shook her head. "We all always went to at least three shows whenever we were in New York or wherever. Rocky's favorite was The Phantom of the Opera. When they made it into a movie, he watched it every week. And when it left theaters, he went to the dollar theater to watch it. Up until the beginning of the year, he used to watch the DVD all the freakin time."

"When he was getting ready for work, whenever we ate, cleaning up," added Jason. "Once, he even put it on at the dojo!"

Kim and Jason laughed at the memory. Tommy smiled at them, wistfully. He was once again reminded of how he wasn't in Kim's life to know her as the others did.

"Get in here, guys," called Trini. "They need pictures of you, too."

The guys, Hayley, and Kim headed for the living room. Adam saw where they were headed as he returned to the kitchen and followed them.

Kim gave him another pointed look as she watched him hug Amy.

"Alright, we need the best man and the maid of honor."

Kim and Adam stepped forward in front of the photographer.

"You promised that you wouldn't do any of that today," Kim whispered through her smile.

"I said I wouldn't have it on me during the ceremony," Adam retorted through his smile.

They finished their pictures and Kim turned to hug him. "Please let them have a peaceful wedding."

"Of course." Adam let go of Kim and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He stayed in front of the camera as Rocky, Tommy, and Jason joined him in front of the camera.

"Come on, everybody!" Rocky said as the flashes continued to go off. He began to sing some more. "This one is for all of you guys.

"Five hundred, twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
Measure a year?"

"Rocky, no offense, but please leave the singing to the professionals." Zack pointed to Kim.

Kim shook her head and smiled.

"In daylight, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strides"

Rocky clapped as Kim finished her line. "That's the spirit, Kimmy Gibbler!"

Kim wrinkled her nose and threw a balled-up napkin at him. "Shut up! You're just lucky that Rent happens to be my favorite!"

Everyone laughed.

"You guys, the limos are here," Hayley called. She was looking out the window. "That first one is for the guys."

"Hurry up and leave!" Kim yelled. She laughed as she and the other girls started pushing the guys out the door. They were shortly followed by the photographers. Kim waited until the limo drove away before she ran up the stairs and called Aisha. "It's almost time, girl!!!" Squeals were heard throughout the house.


Grins were all around as Rocky, with Adam by his side, watched his best friends walk down the aisle. But the one person he couldn't wait for was going to be the last in line. He was ready to jump out of his skin, ready to proclaim at the top of his lungs that he loves her forever and always. Which he pretty much did all day long already.

Kim winked at him as she passed him by. He looked toward the back of the church, excitement running through his veins. The doors closed and Rocky was already hopping from foot to foot.

When they finally opened, the sight was so beautiful that it took all of his will to not run down the aisle and give Aisha a big kiss. He grinned until his cheeks hurt.

The ceremony was flying by. Rocky knew what was going on and he wished it would last forever. The minister looked at Adam and Kim and nodded. He watched the two of them walk toward Bobby, his nephew, the ringbearer, and they untied the rings that he held on the pillow. The two of them placed it on the alter between the minister and Rocky and Aisha. They then proceeded to the nearby piano. Adam sat down and soon began to play. Aisha and Rocky stared at the two, dumbfounded, with their mouths hanging open.

The minister merely smiled at them and requested that the two stand and face each other. Aisha and Rocky stood. He looked into her eyes and felt the tears already welling up. Aisha continued to smile at him and stroked his hand. They listened to Kim's sweet voice begin to sing as Rocky and Aisha started their vows.

"With this ring
I give my love forever
With this ring
I promise to be true"

Rocky's voice got all choked up as he repeated the words of the minister. The tears were flowing freely from his face.

"We two become now one as man and wife"

Aisha began to get choked up as she started her vows. Rocky, in turn, was there, stroking her hand as she had been doing during the ceremony.

"And pledge to you undying love"

They both slid the rings on each other's fingers and smiled at each other.

"Before the sight
Of God"

"Ladies and gentlemen, I now present Mr. and Mrs. Rocky DeSantos." Everyone clapped. "You may now kiss your bride."

Rocky grinned as the moment he has been waiting for finally came. He lifted the veil over head, spun her around and gave her a kiss. Everybody continued to clap. The recessional came on and Aisha and Rocky led the way down the aisle.


"You guys so did not have to do that," Aisha said, hugging Kim and Adam. The reception was in full swing and she finally found a free moment to thank the two.

"No problem," Adam said, his mouth full of cake.

Aisha grinned at the two and headed for the dance floor. She pulled Rocky from Tommy and Billy and started to dance as Kira struck up an uptempo beat.

"So, when are you leaving?" Kim asked.

Adam glanced at the clock on his Blackberry. "A couple hours."

"You and Kira, right?"

Adam nodded. "Don't try to convince me to not go, Kim. I can't do that."

"I know. I wasn't...I kinda want to go too."

Adam shook his head. "I'm not pulling you away from Tommy after you guys found each other after so long."

Kim bit her lip. "Just...come back, okay. I need my best friend here."

"I'll do my best." He stood up and kissed her cheek.

"Just say goodbye before you guys leave, alright."

Adam nodded. He smiled at her and headed for Amy.

Kim sat by herself for a bit. She thought about Adam and Kira. And the rest of her friends. She really couldn't believe the complete turn her life went through in a short period of time.

"May I have this dance?" Tommy's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Of course." Kim stood up and led the way to the dance floor.

"I'm glad to finally have you to myself," he whispered in her ear. She laughed and buried her head on his shoulder.


"Thanks, guys," Kira said, packing up her guitar. "You guys did awesome." She slapped hands with her band before exiting off the stage.

The reception was in the closing stages now. There were records playing, so people were still dancing. Kira remembered how, just a couple hours ago, Rocky nearly made everyone choke on their champagne by doing the Carlton dance. He also started singing "The Circle of Life" at the top of his lungs. And he didn't know the words.

"Hey, Kir."

Kira looked up at her name. "Hey Adam. Is it time?"

He nodded. "It's almost midnight. Let's get going. I'm gonna find Kim first."

Kira nodded. She followed Adam with her eyes. Kim was standing in the big group on the dance floor. Her, Tommy, Trini, Jason, Hayley, Billy, Zack, Rocky, Amy, and Aisha were standing around, dancing with one another in that large group. It wasn't hard for Adam to slip in and grab Kim. She followed him off the dance floor, with a flushed face.

She smiled at Kira and Adam, sadly. "Just come back soon, you guys. Be careful. I love you two." She moved forward to hug the two of them

"We'll be back soon, Kim," Kira reassured her.

Adam held her for a bit. "I'll call you when we get there."

Kim nodded. "Okay. Be safe. I'll tell the others that you guys went off to visit a producer for Kir's new album. I love you guys."

"I love you too, Kim."

"Me too," added Kira.

"And you don't have to say a word to the others. Just tell them that you don't know." He kissed her cheek and turned to leave.

Kim headed back onto the dance floor just as her friends started winding down. She glanced back at Adam and Kira and saw that they were already gone.

"Whew," Aisha said. "That was fun." She headed for a table. The others followed her. "Can't wait until the next wedding." Aisha eyed Kim and Tommy.

"Just cuz we caught the bouquet and garter does not mean anything 'Sha," Kim said.

"Whatever."

"You guys leaving when?" asked Hayley.

"A couple days," answered Rocky. He looked at Aisha in alarm. "I forgot to ask Adam to drop us off at the airport." Aisha shrugged. "Oh well, I'll ask him later."

"And you have a whole bunch of other friends to ask," interjected Kim. She didn't want them to notice Adam's absence yet.

"That's right." Rocky looked at Kim. "Kimmy, can you take us to the airport? Would you take us to the airport?"

Kim rolled her eyes and laughed as Rocky sang his last question to the tune of 'Light My Candle' from Rent. "Fine, whatever."
