Epilogue:

Marcie West smoothed down her dress, it was tight fitting at the top but flowed out into a big skirt, little beads cover the top but the bottom was very pain. It looked beautiful. (For a picture check the link down in the author's Note.)

Marcie took a deep breath.

"You are going to be fine Marcie."

Marcie looked over at Artemis, "I know, I know."

"We are here for you honey," Wally said.

Marcie nodded, "I know," She closed her eyes and slowly counted to twenty, "I'm good."

Wally and Artemis looked at each other and smiled, "Well then honey," Artemis said, "we have a surprise for you."

Marcie bent her eyebrows, "A surprise?"

Artemis nodded and opened the doors to the room, "Come on in."

Marcie bent around her father, trying to see who Artemis was talking to, but she couldn't.

"Hey sis!"

Marcie gasped as a familiar figure entered the room, "Parker!"

Parker smiled and threw his arms around his big sister, "Hi there Marcie."

"Parker! I thought you weren't coming."

Parker shook his head, "Nope, I'm here. I couldn't miss my sister's big day, even for my career, and besides I'm Hale's best man."

Marcie hugged her brother again, "Parker! That's so sweet! I love you. And you better go get ready with the rest of the guys, but you do look so cute in your suit."

Parker rolled his eyes, "I'm not cute, I'm not eleven, I'm handsome. And I love you too sis."

Parker and Marcie hugged one more time and Parker walked off. Marcie turned to Artemis, "You too mom."

Artemis hugged Marcie and then Wally, "Love you."

"Love you too mom," Marcie said.

Artemis nodded and headed out the doors. Wally held out his arm and Marcie looped her arm through it. "Deep breaths."

"Yea, I know."

Slowly music rose from outside the door and Marcie could hear the steps of the bridal party walking down the aisle.

And then the music changed to an all to familiar march, Marcie and Wally stepped forward.

They walked out the door and Marcie suddenly felt like she was going to pass out, millions of eyes stared at her.

"Deep breath," Wally muttered and he stepped forward.

Marcie gave a small nod and instead of looking at all the eyes, she looked ahead to where Hale was standing.

Hale stood tall, in a simple black suit, he smiled at the sight of Marcie.

Marcie managed a weak smile back, why had no one told her getting married made people this nervous?

And was the aisle really this long? Yesterday it had been short, super short.

"You okay?" Wally muttered to Marcie.

Marcie took a deep breath, "Yes," She whispered back.

And then suddenly they were stopping. Wally removed his arm from Marcie's. Marcie smiled at her dad and gave him a hug. "I love you Marcie, you'll always be my little girl."

Marcie nodded, "I know dad," She turned around and quickly handed her bouquet of flowers off to her maid of honor, Zuri. "Thanks," She whispered to Zuri.

Zuri nodded and Marcie casted a quick glance down the line of bridesmaids.

After Zuri was Norah, beaming. Then stood Vanessa and Farah, and finally Janette. All wearing their matching purple bridesmaid dresses. (And before you ask, yes Janette was allowed to come. They were older and had stopped fighting.)

And then Marcie turned back to Hale. Hale gave her a smile, "I love you," He mouthed Marcie gave him a weak smiled, she was still so dizzy. And she could hear the priest talking but wasn't hearing anything. All she was thinking was, "Oh my god! I'm marrying Hale! MARRYING!"

She could only slightly hear herself say her vows and feel the tears pouring down her face as she said, "I do."

The priest said something else but Marcie was to focused on dabbing at the tears.

"I do," Hale said.

"Then you may kiss the bride."

Hale smiled and pulled Marcie to him. Marcie smiled back, "I'll love you forever," Hale whispered and then her kissed her.

Everyone busted into claps and cheers and Marcie and Hale pulled apart and turned to face everyone. Marcie looked over and her mother and Hale's mom were sobbing, both of them clutching each other crying, "Our babies!"

Marcie smiled as Hale took her hand and they started the walk back down the aisle and off to the reception.

LIDILIDI

The reception was a blur dinner was served and then the cake cut, Marcie managed to slam a good part of it on Hale's face because he had gotten some up her nose.

And then it was time for the two of them to dance.

Marcie followed behind Hale as he lead her out to the dance floor. Then he wrapped his arms around Marcie's waist and Marcie wrapped her arms around his neck. Slowly the spun around in a circle.

Hale smiled down at Marcie, "You look so beautiful."

"You look very handsome," Marcie said.

Hale twirled Marcie under his arm, "Can you believe it, you're mine forever."

Marcie laughed, "No, not really."

"You'll get used to it," Hale said as they did another big twirl, the music started to grow softer.

"You know after this you have to hand me off," Marcie said.

Hale sighed, "I know. Your dad and Parker already called a dance with you."

"I'll come back to you as quick as I can, till then don't let any other pretty girls steal your heart."

"One already has," Hale laughed as the music stopped and the dance floor flooded with people.

"I'll take her now."

Marcie turned around and there was Parker. Marcie smiled, "Okay," She gave Hale a quick kiss on the cheek, "No pretty girls!" She called as she turned and followed Parker.

When they got out Parker, who was now taller then Marcie, leaned down and hugged her.

"What was that for?" Marcie asked, "You have always been against hugs."

Parker smiled, "I'm loosing my big sister."

"Parker it's not like Hale hates you, you can come visit."

Parker shrugged, "Yeah I know, now let's dance."

Marcie smiled and took hold of her brother's hand, "On your lead."

Parker laughed and started moving in a simple one, two, three pattern. Marcie followed his lead easily.

And she was just laughing at Parker's face as they spun when she spotted something over Parker's shoulder, "Parker!"
Parker stopped, "What?"

Marcie grabbed his shoulder and turned him around and pointed, "That."

That was the beautiful Norah with her bouncy, golden, curls dancing with the very handsome, deep brown hair, Ike.

"Looks like you and Zuri might be sister in laws in a couple years."

Marcie rolled her eyes, "Whatever Parker."

Parker laughed and took Marcie's hand again, "You know it's true."

LIDILIDI

After a dance with her father, Zuri, Vanessa, and Farah, Marcie finally made her way back to Hale.

"So any girls steal your heart?" Marcie asked as soon as she was in Hale's warm embrace.

"Nah, but did you see-"

"Ike and Norah? Yep, my baby sister is growing up."

Hale laughed, "It will be okay. You'll get Zuri as a sister in law."

"Would you and Parker stop that! They are still young."

"And so were we!"

Marcie took his hand, "I guess, but-"

"But what? Ike is a nice boy. And Norah has a good head on her shoulders and a big sister who beat up a boy who broke her heart."

Marcie and Hale started twirling in a circle and Marcie put her head on his chest, "Yeah, I guess you are right."

"I'm always right."

LIDILIDI

After more dancing photos were taken and Marcie chucked her bouquet up in the air and who did it land in the arms of? Norah. Who blushed and ducked her head. Hale elbowed Marie and started laughing, Marcie rolled her eyes.

And then the day was over, the wedding was done and Marcie changed out of her big wedding dress and into a light blue top and a white skirt and climbed in the car after Hale.

"Bye!" Zuri cried waving at Marcie.

Marcie smiled, "Bye!"

Parker came up to the car window, "See you soon sis!"

"Save the world while I'm gone Parker!"

Parker laughed, "Ok, I'll try."

Marcie smiled, "I love you."

"Love you too," Parker said and then stepped away from the window, Wally, Artemis, and Norah stepped up.

"Have fun honey," Artemis said.

"I will."

"You take good care of my girl!" Wally cried at Hale.

Hale smiled, "Okay, I will."

Norah smiled at her big sister, "Have fun Marcie."

"I love you Norah."

Norah nodded, "Love you too."

Artemis wrapped her arm around Norah's shoulder, "Come on."

Norah gave one last smile and stepped away from the car with Artemis and Wally.

Marcie rolled up her window and buckled her seat belt.

"Ready?" Hale asked her.

Marcie looked at him, "Yep."

And with that Hale and Marcie took off into the sunset.

Off into their new life.

Author's Note:

So the first day of band camp was sweaty but fun and came home thinking, "Why, that's not that bad."

Woke up the next morning.

BAM!

Feels like some one beat me up.

I mean I hurt everywhere, my legs, back, ribs, shoulder, etc.

And then I had another day of camp on top of that. So yeah, I hurt.

And on top of Marching band, school starts back soon. UH!
