"You guys PROMISE not to tell Sahari, right?" Sparcticus asked carefully. Seiko, Maxime and Gretchen all seemed to eye roll at the same time.

"Oh please Sparcticus, like we would ruin your big surprise," Gretchen said, crossing her arms slightly. Sparcticus sighed.

"I know you wouldn't," he said, "I just don't want it getting leaked out to Leafos or any other of the gossipers of the village."

"You can trust us Sparcticus, don't worry," Maxime said. Sparcticus didn't give her a sure look.

"Well, I trust you and Gretchen. It's that one I'm not so sure about," he pointed over a Seiko. Of course, she wasn't listening as she was chatting away with Eddie.

"Do you want me to send over Doug and Danny to help?" She asked, "They haven't been able to find too much in the mine lately. It would give them something to do." Eddie smiled, nodding.

"We would really appreciate it Sei," He said.

"Hey, can I call you Sei?" Dustin asked, literally walking in between the two. Seiko made a face.

"No. It's only cute when he does it."

"Aw..." Dustin walked away. Eddie just shook his head as Gretchen started to speak up again.

"Are you sure you don't want to ask Willy to build it for you? It would be a lot quicker, and you would be able to spend some time with Sahari," the huntress said to the Eskimo.

"Yeah, she's starting to feel a bit lonely with you being gone all the time," Maxime cut in. Sparcticus nodded.

"I know Willy can do it much faster, but then it wouldn't be as special," Sparcticus said, "And Sahari shouldn't be too upset. We are picking out a cake tomorrow and meeting with the wedding planner again, and I am taking the weekend off to spend time with her."

"Wow, you thought of everything, didn't you?" Maxime said. Sparcticus nodded, blushing a bit under his mask.

"Well... I mean, it's all really going to happen. I'm actually going to get married-"

"Okay lover boy, but we have to get a move on!" Bart said, patting Sparcticus on the shoulder.

"Y-Yeah. We aren't g-going to get it d-done if we stand h-here," Patch said from the other side. Sparcticus snapped out of his mini trance, nodding.

"Right. Eddie, Dustin, come on," He said before turning around. Seiko smiled.

"Have fun," she cooed, leaning in and giving Eddie a hug. Eddie smiled, returning it as his hands rested on his back. His smile disappeared as Dustin was smirking at him, his hands up doing a squeezing motion. He mouthed out "grab it" as he did so. Eddie only glared as harshly as he could at the boy.

"I will," was his only response to his girlfriend's coo. He released her, and walked away quickly to catch up with Sparcticus. Dustin fallowed just as quickly, snickering the whole way. Seiko turned to Gretchen and Maxime, a bit confused.

"What was his problem?" She asked. Gretchen shrugged.

"I don't know, but we have to get moving," she said, "Sahari isn't going to be too happy if we are late picking out the dresses."


Later on that Afternoon~


"Holy Moozipan..." Sahari breathed, looking around as if she were a child in a candy store. The Bridal Boutique was much larger then she had expected, filled with dresses of every color in almost every style. Maxime let out a low whistle.

"Well, this is going to take longer then I thought," she said. Sahari was beaming.

"Well then let's get started!" She said enthusiastically, racing into the many rows of dresses. Leafos and Maxime quickly fallowed her to make sure that the desert girl wouldn't get lost, while Gretchen stayed behind with Seiko and a very unhappy Builder.

"Why did you have to drag me here?" Maddie whined quite loudly, "I'm not even going to be a bridesmaid."

"Yeah, but you're not wearing a pantsuit to the wedding. We are going to find you something pretty to wear, and you're going to like it," Seiko said, dragging the girl into the mix. Maddie was grouching the whole way, trying to pull her arm away as Seiko pulled on it. Gretchen let out a sigh.

"Maxime's right. This will take a lot longer then we thought," she muttered, dragging her feet along.


"Hm, do you like this one Sahari?" Leafos asked, holding up a light green dress. Sahari made a face.

"Sorry Leafos, but we aren't going for a green thing here," Sahari said. Leafos frowned, putting it back onto the rack. Maxime looked over at Sahari.

"Then what are you looking for?" She asked. Sahari was about to ask when Seiko held up a lavender dress.

"Something like this, right?"she asked. Gretchen walked over, shaking her head as she lifted up her own dress.

"Nah, she probably wants something like this, right?"

"No she wants this!"

"No, this is a lot better."

"Where the heck did Maddie go?"

"But the color is so gross on that one! This one is much better."

"Why don't we just ask- Sahari?" Maxime said, turning to head to see that the bride had left.

Sahari was walking away, her hands placed on her round stomach. She didn't want to hear the arguments about the dresses- she was just going to find one she really liked, and then was going to find her wedding gown. But first-

"You said that if you could flap your wings, you would never come back down..." someone sang suddenly. Sahari stopped.

"You always aimed for that..." it sang again. Sahari looked over at a rack of dresses, putting her hands in between two dresses and spreading it apart to look at the other side. There, in a very fancy bench, was Maddie. She was patting her hands against her thighs, singing to herself quite softly. Sahari's jaw almost dropped at the sight.

Maddie was the last person she would ever suspect to be such a lovely singer.

"There you are Sahari! We were looking for you," Seiko said, running up to the unsuspecting bride-to-be.

"Did you find something already?" Maxime asked. Sahari turned to them, smiling.

"Yup. I found my wedding singer!" She said excitedly. At that point, Maddie had already heard her.

"You found someone here? Gosh, I feel sorry for the poor sap..." she muttered.


Back at home with the guys~


"HI-HO, THE RED FERN GROWS~" Doug was shouting/singing. Sparcticus's eye twitched. As much help as they were, he wished Seiko had never sent down the two helpers.

"Doug, quit singing will you? You're giving me a headache," Danny said, hitting in another nail. Bart made a face.

"No kidding..." he said. Patch turned to the tinkerer.

"Is he even singing the song right?"

"Patch, I don't know, nor do I really care," he answered. Patch nodded, picking up a box of screws. Eddie forced a smile onto his face.

"Oh it's not too bad," he said, "I mean, he can't carry a tune, his pitching isn't right with the song he's trying to sing, and not to mention there's now a funny smell around here," he paused, "... Okay, it's pretty bad."

"You're telling me," Dustin muttered on the side. You knew it was pretty bad if even he was getting annoyed.

"He's just lucky he can build..." Sparcticus muttered, throwing his coat back on as he went back to the Pinarctic side of the house.


Back with the Girls~


"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes!"

"NO."

"Why not?" Seiko whined. Maddie's face had a large frown on it, and her arms were folded together in a very childish manner.

"Because I don't sing for people," she said stubbornly. Maxime raised a brow.

"Yeah, but you were just singing inside a store full of bride-to-be's," she said. Maddie rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, people I don't know. I didn't even know Sahari was right there..." She muttered. Leafos let out a small giggle.

"Well, now you're going to be the singer at the wedding," she said, "You should be honored." Maddie was quiet for a moment, and then smiled.

"Oh, you're so right Leafos," she said, "It is great! Now I get to wear some stupid dress and stand up on a stage, where I will sing my little heart out to everyone while they completely ignore me and look at Sahari as she walks down the isle in some cliche' white dress that everyone has probably seen like a thousand times, and-"

"Wow, you're such a lonely little girl aren't you," Maxime cut in, trying to hold back her laughter. Maddie made a face.

"It's not that, but-"

"Shhhh she's coming out~" Leafos whispered in a very giddy tone, covering Maddie's mouth with her hand. Maddie's voice was muffled, clearly not happy with Leafos's attempt to keep her quiet.

"What do you guys think?" Sahari asked happily, twirling around a bit as she came up to show.

Her dress was absolutely beautiful. It took a little while, but they found the right one where it fit around her belly, while hugging her well enough to where it was flattering. The pure white silk went down to the floor, just barely touching it. A cream colored ribbon was wrapped around her, just below her chest. The top part of it had a bit of lace around it, and the straps were only thick enough to cover her thickening shoulders. The dress came with a veil, which was placed perfectly on her head. It was decorated with a few of the flowers that grew in the desert, crowning around her head in a very beautiful fashion. Needless to say, she was-

"AHHHH!" Leafos shouted all of a sudden. Everyone jumped in surprise, especially Sahari.

"Jesus, is it that bad?" the desert girl asked. Leafos's eyes widened, shaking her hand quickly as she cradled her throbbing hand.

"No, no no no no no! It's absolutely lovely; Maddie just bit me pretty hard is all," She explained, glaring at the blind girl. Maddie scowled.

"Well, that's YOUR fault for trying to make me shut up," she said, "Anyway, even though I can't see you, I bet you look very pretty Sahari, and IWILLNOTBETHESINGER!"

"TOO BAD. I already called Lottie and Willy; they said it would be WONDERFUL for you to be our singer," Sahari said, smiling sweetly as she imitated Maddie's mother. Maddie growled.

"But I don't wanna..." she whined. Sahari frowned.

"But you have such a pretty voice! Most of the singers Sparcticus and I have seen aren't very good, and Eddie can't do it because he's going to be Sparcticus's Best Man," Sahari explained. Maddie frowned even more.

"Oh come on, like the other ones were THAT bad," she said. Sahari raised a brow, begging to differ.


Flashback


"IT'S FRIDAY, FRIDAY! GOTTA GET DOWN ON FRIDAY~" an androgynous man/woman was singing, much worse then the actual singer of the song. Sahari and Sparcticus had horrified expressions on their faces, looking over at their wedding planner.

"THIS is the best you have?" Sahari asked. Sparcticus was covering his ears, trying to block out the sound. The wedding planner nodded.

"Yup! Isn't he wonderful?"

"YEAH YEAH YEAH!" the shemale was practically screaming. Sparcticus leaned over to Sahari.

"... I thought that was a woman," he whispered. Sahari looked at him.

"... I did too," she said.


"... That bad?" Maxime said. Sahari nodded.

"OH yeah. Worse then Rebecca Black herself," she said, "God, what is wrong with Americans? Do they not know how to sing or something? First that Beiber kid, then Ke$ha, and now some little rich girl who thinks she can sing..."

"Maybe they just have issues," Gretchen suggested, with Leafos nodding in agreement.

"At least on the island we have people who actually HAVE talent," the young green-masked girl said. Maddie suddenly was quiet for a moment.

"... This is all your fault Seiko," she said, "If you didn't drag me here, then I wouldn't be getting forced against my will to sing."

"Well, that's your fault for singing in public," Seiko said, sticking her tongue out. As Maddie was about to retort, Sahari was looking in the mirror, twirling around in her dress.

"Oh, do you guys think it's pretty?" Sahari asked, turning back around.

"Of course it does," Gretchen said, smiling underneath her mask.

"Really, I don't think anything else could look better on you," Maxime said, giving her a real smile.

"Oh, if only Sparcticus could see it," Seiko chimed happily, clapping her hands together, "Too bad he's with the other guys working on building the- OW!" Seiko cried out as Maxime yanked on her long hair. Thankfully, Sahari didn't seem to notice the second half of what Seiko was about to say. Instead, she was smiling happily at the first part.

"Oh, go get your dresses on! We need to send Sparcticus a picture," She said, "Wait, I can't show him my dress!"

"Why not?" Leafos asked.

"Because, that will bring bad luck to our wedding! ... Well, he can see the rest of you! WELL DON'T SIT THERE!" she turned to one of the workers, "Hey you're strong, right?" The young clerk shrugged.

"I wouldn't say I am strong-"

"Good enough, because you need to get the blind girl there into the blue dress hanging over there."


Back, once again, with the Guys~


"Hey Sparcticus! Your Alert system is vibrating!" Bart shouted, waving the metal object around. Sparcticus nodded, climbing down the ladder. He took off his jacket, walking over to the desert side to take a look at it.

"It's a picture from Sahari," Sparcticus said, smiling slightly as he opened it up.

It was a picture of all the girls together, almost all smiling happily, with the exception of Sahari, who wasn't there. The Maid of Honor, Maxime, was wearing a sandy brown dress that went down to her knees, ruffled slightly at the bottom. It was strapless, and had a dark brown ribbon tied around her stomach, and a bright pink cactus flower was pinned right above the right part of her torso, as well as one pinned in her hair. Seiko, Gretchen, and Leafos, the Bridesmaids, were wearing the same thing, only their dresses weren't ruffled at the bottom and had no cactus flower pinned to their dresses; probably to dignify the difference between the Bridesmaids and the Maid of Honor. All the girls were crowded together, looking quite happy. On the other hand, Maddie was standing there, in a lovely frosty blue dress that went just above her knees, and had a pair of thick straps on it. It hugged her skinny figure a bit, and it would look quite flattering if her shoulders weren't all hunched up and if her face didn't have that "Oh God Kill Me Now" look on it. Below the picture was a message.

Don't they all just look so pretty? Sorry about Maddie. She wouldn't smile :P

Sparcticus chuckled slightly. He held it up so the other guys could see.

"Wow... They look fantastic," Eddie said, smiling in approval over the dresses. Dustin scoffed.

"Ha. Only Maxime looks gorgeous! The other ones just look simple," he said. Sparcticus rolled his eyes at the comment. Bart smiled as he looked at it; Gretchen hadn't looked so lovely since the dress she wore at the Ball. Patch just wouldn't stop stuttering, and Danny was trying to help Doug get a Sweetle out of his nose.

"Dammit Doug, how do you get things like these stuck up there?" He growled in annoyance. The other guys were staring at them, shaking their heads slowly simultaneously. Sparcticus started to type on his alert system.

They all do, but I bet you look even better :)

"AW! How cute!" Dustin cooed. Sparcticus glared at him, and the boy immediately shrunk away from trying to look at his messages. It wasn't long before Sahari alerted him right back.

Aw thank you Sparty! I can't wait to wear it on the wedding day :) So what are you and the guys up too?

Sparcticus froze faster then a Geckie caught in the snow.

"Oh shit..." he muttered.

"What?" Eddie asked, tilting his head a bit. Sparcticus looked at him.

"Sahari just asked what we were doing. I don't know what to tell her?" He asked, starting to panic.

"Just tell her something! Anything," Bart said as if it were that simple. Sparcticus thought of an idea, and was about to type when Dustin snatched it out of his hands and typed an excuse of his own.

We are making a pizza.

"There we go!" Dustin said happily, showing everyone what he wrote. Eddie was the first to speak.

"Making a pizza? What kind of excuse IS that?" He exclaimed. Dustin shrugged. Sparcticus smacked himself in the forehead.

"Sahari is never going to believe that..." He muttered, checking his alert system slowly as he received another message.

Cool! Save me a slice. The girls and I are STAR-VING!

"... She actually bought it," he said.

"... R-Really?" Patch asked. Sparcticus nodded.

"Yes, but now we have to actually go MAKE a pizza because she wants some," Sparcticus looked up, "Do you think Arfur will let us borrow his oven?" Before anyone could answer, Doug and Danny walked up, a snot covered Sweetle in Doug's hands.

"... We got it out. Sorry about that," Danny said, clearly embarrassed of his twin brother's stupidity. Doug, on the other hand, was smiling.

"I shall name you... Hermin," he said, petting the little pinata. Everyone was quiet.

"... Eddie, tell Seiko the Diggerlings are fired," Sparcticus muttered quietly, walking away as he rubbed his throbbing temples.


OH YEAH! I updated within a day! YAY! Well, this chapter was also pretty long, and I hope it's good enough to last you through the week :) Starting tomorrow, I have to go back to my studies again, and I won't be able to get on in that time. So it will be a while before another update- but it will be worth it I promise :D We are ALMOST to the wedding! Just gotta do a few more things first...

Oh, and sorry if you are a fan of B*iber, RB or Ke$ha, and just so you know, I am a proud american- who prefers songs made in Japan. Not all songs in America are bad... but you have to admit, most of the new ones nowadays are pretty bad... I just had to rant about it in here.

Anyway, please review in the meantime :D
