Swaying on the dance floor, in Michael's arms, Lauren was mouthing the words to a slow song. Michael was smiling at her joining in the last line, before the tempo of the song picked up. Lauren took Michael's hands as they moved to keep up with the music.

Fen pulled Summer along as they joined in. Chelsea and Chloe were enjoying the music, while their respective significant others were amused watching from the sidelines. Rachel was more animated than Kyle as they too danced along. Noah had taken an interest in Megan as they moved in with the others. Susie and Faith were having fun getting into the music, as Mariah decided to let go, energizing her dance moves , encouraging Tessa to join her. Everyone was smiling as the song ended and respective couples moved in close for the following slow dance.

"I had no idea you were planning to propose, so beautifully," Mariah said, as she stood in Tessa's arms on the dance floor.

"The time was right for us," Tessa said.

"I love you so much," Mariah said, moving in to hold Tessa close.

Tessa's eyes drifted to Rachel, who was in Kyle's arms and said, "I love you too."

A few feet away, Summer was dancing close with Fen, while she was also watching Kyle and Rachel together. Summer was happy for them, however she was having a hard time accepting Kyle was a married man now. She tried to convince herself she was not jealous, she had Fen, who she loved and knew he loved her.

Pulling back to look at her, Fen noticed Summer's despondent look. "You okay?" Fen said.

"Yes, of course," Summer smiled at him, "However, I need to excuse myself to the ladies room."

"Okay," Fen said. Gently taking Summer's arm, to hold her back before she walked away, Fen said, "Are you sure you are alright?"

"You're sweet to worry about me," Summer said, kissing his cheek before she sauntered off.

Watching her go, Fen muttered, "That did not answer my question."

On her way, Summer paused to look back at Kyle and Rachel. She watched Kyle make Rachel laugh, before moving in to kiss her as they danced. The loving way the bride and groom looked at each other, was too much for Summer, as tears came to her eyes, before she fled.


Abby rubbed her forehead as she sat with Chance, who was smiling as he watched others in the room, dancing and having fun. Turning to face Abby, he paused when he noticed, she was distracted.

"Abby?" Chance said. She looked over at him as he continued, "Are you okay?"

"I think I must have had too much partying and champagne," Abby said. She sighed heavily, holding her head.

"You aren't feeling well, are you?" Chance said, instinctively feeling her forehead.

"I'll be fine," Abby said.

"Do you want to go?" Chance said.

"What?" Abby said.

"Maybe we should leave," Chance said, "Wait here, I'm going to get out coats." Abby nodded, prompting Chance to stand up to leave.

Abby waited a few seconds and decided she needed to splash some water on her face. She stood up and slowly made her way towards the ladies room. Feeling lightheaded she grabbed the wall for support. Unaware of where she was going, Abby wandered down the hall, and rounded a corner, where she ran into someone.

"Sorry," Austin said, and then realized who he was speaking to. Abby looked at him, her vision waving in and out of focus.

"You," Abby said, recognizing him from the hotel lobby.

Abby took an unsteady step, as Austin took her arm to steady her. "Abby?" he said.

"How do you know…" Abby spoke slowly, "Who are you?"

Realizing Abby was not drunk, Austin said, "I think someone got the wrong drink."

"Who…?" Abby said again.

Austin proceeded to take off his glasses and peel his fake beard.

"What are you doing?" Abby said.

"Abby, it's me," Austin said, "It's Austin."

"No…it can't…" Abby said. Her focus cleared on his face. "Aus…Austin?" she stammered.

"It's really me," Austin smiled at her.

"It can't be…Austin?" Abby said. She took an unsteady step, Austin catching her as she dropped unconscious into his arms.

"Unexpected," Austin said.


Concern was on Fen's face as he searched the room for Summer. A familiar voice made him turn around, when he heard his name.

"Fen?"

"Oh, Susie hi," Fen said, "Listen, have you seen Summer?"

"No," Susie said, "Maybe she left."

"She wouldn't do that," Fen said.

"Would you like to dance with me again?" Susie said.

"You know what, I don't think so," Fen said.

Disappointed Susie said, "Why not?"

"I saw what you did earlier," Fen said, "Pushing Summer the way you did. It was not very nice, in fact it was incredibly rude. You owe her an apology."

"I thought it would be fun," Susie said, "If you and I both caught the bride and groom things. They say it means you're next to be married."

"You need to understand something," Fen said, "I am your cousin, not your boyfriend. We are related Susie, nothing will ever happen between us. You need to get these romantic notions about me out of your head and grow up. If you will excuse me, I need to find my girlfriend."

Susie looked at Fen in disbelief, tears welling, as she watched him walk away. Her feelings hurt, Susie could not believe Fen was so angry with her. Tears began to slip down her cheeks as she ran for the exit.

Spying her run and seeing her tears, Connor was concerned about her. He looked back at his parents, noting they were not watching him he rushed after Susie.


Kyle and Rachel were talking with Jack, when a familiar voice said, "Well, here's the happy couple."

"Victor," Kyle said, "Glad you could be here."

"Congratulations," Victor said, as he and Kyle shook hands.

"Thank you," Kyle said, "Have you met my wife, Rachel?"

"Not formally," Victor said, "It very nice to meet a lovely bride."

"Oh, thank you," Rachel smiled, "I've heard lot about you."

"Oh, have you?" Victor smiled, "Don't' believe a word of it."

"It was all good," Rachel said, "Kyle spoke very highly of you."

"That's nice to hear," Victor said.

Walking to her husband's side, Nikki said, "Sorry, to keep you waiting."

Rachel noticed Kyle slightly bristle at the sight of Nikki, as Victor said, "That's okay. It gave me a chance to congratulate the bride and groom." He smiled at them.

Kyle forced a small smile at Nikki, as she said, "It was a lovely wedding. It was so nice to be able to share in your joy today."

"Thank you for coming," Rachel said, "It's nice that you attended."

"It could have been nicer," Kyle said, annoyance in his tone, "Not everyone was here today. Someone was notably absent."

"Kyle…" Jack said.

"You're talking about your mother," Nikki said.

"She should have been here," Kyle said, "Other than marrying my wife, the one thing which would have made this day more special is if my mother was here! She was supposed to watch me get married to the woman I love. But she missed the most important day of my life, because of you."

"I would greatly appreciate it, it you would lower your voice and not speak to my wife in that manner," Victor sternly said.

"No darling, it's alright," Nikki said, "Kyle has a right to his feelings. I played a part in hurting him."

"A part?" Kyle said, "You ruined my childhood. You took my mother from me and that is something that hurts everyday!"

"Kyle, settle down," Jack said.

"I told you, I didn't want that woman at our wedding!" Kyle said.

"I think it's best that we go," Nikki said, "I'm very sorry I've upset you. I truly wish you both the best."

"You don't speak her like that again," Victor said, before they walked away.

Rachel put a hand on Kyle's shoulder. "You okay?" she said.

Kyle sighed and said, "I'm sorry to both of you. Dad, I know she's your friend. I didn't mean to embarrass you."

"I know," Jack said, "I wish your mother was here too." Sharing a hug with Kyle, Jack said, "I do believe she was watching today."

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Kyle said.

Jack left them together, as Kyle turned to Rachel. Pulling her closer to him, Kyle said, "How do you feel about getting out of here early?"

"You want to leave now?" Rachel said, "Before the countdown to midnight?"

"I have something special planned for tonight," Kyle said. Leaning in, he whispered in her ear, "I thought we could have a countdown of our own."

"Ooh," Rachel smiled, "When you put it that way…" She engaged him in a kiss.


Kyle and Rachel walked across the room, intending to tell everyone they were leaving, when Fen stepped in their path.

"Hey, have either of you seen Summer?" Fen said.

"No," Kyle said, "Did she ditch you?"

"She wouldn't do that," Fen said, "I can't find her and she doesn't answer her phone. I'm starting to get worried."

"Maybe she's in the ladies room?" Rachel said.

"No, Mariah checked, she's not in there," Fen said.

"No luck?" Mariah said, walking over. Fen shook his head.

"Okay, she has to be here," Kyle said, "I'll help you look." Turning to Rachel, he said, "Hopefully, this won't take long. I'll be back as soon as I can." He kissed her cheek.

"It wouldn't be a wedding without some mystery," Mariah said.

"You don't think she left without him, do you?" Rachel said.

"I wouldn't have thought so," Mariah said.

Looking around the room, Rachel said, "Where is Susie?"

"I'm not sure," Mariah said, "Maybe she's with Faith."

"No Faith is over there," Rachel said, "She's not with her."

"I see Kevin," Mariah said, "Let's go see if he knows." They were about to walk over when the room was engulfed in darkness, as the lights went out.


Tears were falling as Susie walked around the parking lot outside the hotel. Distraught over the way Fen had hurt her feelings, she had wandered outside. Hugging herself against the cold night air, Susie paced back and forth. Upon turning around she gasped in fright when she saw Connor standing there.

"Sorry," Connor said, realizing he had frightened her.

"What are you doing here?" Susie said.

"Are you okay?" Connor said, "Do you need some help?"

"Just leave me alone," Susie said.

"You should come back inside," Connor said.

"I don't want to," Susie said.

"It's pretty cold," Connor said.

"I'm fine," Susie said, turning away from him.

Connor took off his suit jacket and walking over to Susie, he put it around her shoulders.

Looking at him, Susie said, "Thanks."

"Why are you so sad?" Connor said.

"I don't want to talk about it," Susie said.

"I really think we should go in," Connor said. He offered Susie his hand, which she hesitantly took.

They proceeded towards the entrance when they saw someone exiting the building. Noticing it was a woman crying, Susie and Connor ducked behind a hedge, close to the building. Peeking through the branches, Susie recognized Summer. "It's her," she softly said.

Summer could not settle her tears and she was not even sure why she felt so sad. Seeing Kyle get married had affected her in a way she had not expected. She was glad Kyle was happy, but she felt like she was losing a part of him to his wife.

As she sorted her thoughts, Summer was distracted by a noise further down the parking lot. Looking into the darkness, she jumped as a figure darted across the lot.

"What was that?" Connor whispered.

Fright sent Summer rushing back towards the entrance. Looking behind her as she walked, she cried out when she felt someone touch her arm.


Murmurs of confusion flowed through the darkness of the room. "Mariah?" Rachel said.

"I'm still here," Mariah said.

"What happened?" Rachel said, just as the lights came back on.

"What was that about?" Mariah said.

"Hey," Kevin said, rushing over, "Are you both alright?"

"We're fine," Rachel said.

"Where's Susie?" Kevin said.

"I was going to ask you," Rachel said, "What's going on?"

"Let's not panic she has to be here somewhere," Kevin said.

"I'll start asking around," Mariah said.

"Kevin, where could she be?" Rachel said.

"Maybe she's with Fen…" Kevin trailed off as he saw Fen walking towards them, "Or not."

"I still can't find her," Fen said.

"Now my daughter is missing too," Rachel said.

"Too?" Kevin said.

"I've been looking for Summer," Fen said, "She is nowhere to be found."

"Where's Kyle?" Rachel said.

"We split up to look for her," Fen said, "He didn't come back here?"

"I'm getting scared now," Rachel said.

"Excuse me?" Chance said, interjecting, "Have any of you seen Abby?"

"She's missing too?" Kevin said.

"What you mean too?" Chance said.

"I can't find or get a hold of Summer," Fen said.

"Plus my daughter is missing and my husband," Rachel said.

"So, you're telling me we are missing four people?" Chance said.

"Five," Chelsea said, overhearing the conversation as she approached with Adam, "We can't find Connor."


Susie and Connor watched Summer, as she cried out and pushed someone away from her.

"Summer, it's just me," Kyle said.

"Kyle?" Summer said, "You scared the life out of me!"

"What are you doing out here alone?" Kyle said.

"I had some thinking to do," Summer said.

"Do you think you could do that somewhere warmer?" Kyle said, "Like indoors?" Noticing she had been crying, Kyle said, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Summer said.

"It's me you're talking to," Kyle said, "Don't tell me nothing."

"It's not something we should talk about," Summer said, "Especially not today."

"Tell me what's bothering you," Kyle said, "Before we both get hypothermia."

"I feel sad," Summer said, "Watching you get married, I got really emotional."

"I thought you and I had agreed to be good friends," Kyle said, "You told me you supported my marriage."

"I do," Summer said, "And I am really glad you found your happiness. I just feel like I'm going to lose you as my friend."

"Why would you think that?" Kyle said.

"Because you have a wife now," Summer said, "She is going to be your priority. The one you talk to about everything, the one you spend time with, the one you go to for comfort and share your secrets with. You know, the things you used to do with me."

"Summer, just because I got married, does not mean I will forget about my friends," Kyle said, "Especially when that friend is you."

"Then why do I feel like I'm already losing you?" Summer said.

"You're not," Kyle said, "I would never let that happen. I'm still here if you need a friend."

"Promise?" Summer said.

"Absolutely," Kyle said, pulling her into a hug.

"Isn't this the sweetest thing ever?" a voice startled them from the darkness. Watching a figure approach, his features becoming clearer in the light he spoke, "The groom and his ex, sharing a private embrace."

"Whoever you are…" Kyle stopped as he recognized him. He looked at Summer, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"It can't be," Summer said.

"It's me, your long lost husband," he said.

Summer paused, before she said, "Austin?"


Noah strolled away from the crowd, checking messages on his phone. Tucking the phone back into his pocket he stopped when something caught his eye. "What the…" Noah said walking closer, when he realized someone was lying on the floor. Rushing over he immediately recognized her.

"Abby?" Noah said, crouching down beside her. Realizing she was unconscious he tried to rouse her, calling her name several times.

"What we need is to do an organized search," Chance was saying to the others.

"I need some help over here!" Noah hollered.

"What now?" Kevin said, as several people rushed over.

Spying Chance, Noah said, "Over here, it's Abby."

Getting to his knees beside her, Chance called her name. "Abby? Come on wake up." Looking up at Noah, Chance said, "What happened?"

"I don't know," Noah said, "I found her like this."

Abby stirred, Chance calling her name, prompting her to wake. Abby opened and closed her eyes a few times before she focused on her surroundings.

"Abby?" Chance said.

"Chance?" Abby said.

"How do you feel?" Chance said, "Are you okay?"

"I think so," Abby said. Realizing she was lying on the floor, she tried to sit up. Noah and Chance assisted her.

"Easy," Noah said.

"What happened?" Abby said, "Did I faint?"

"We were hoping you could tell us," Chance said, "We found you unconscious. Do you remember anything?"

"I felt a little woozy and then…" Abby trailed off remembering, someone saying, 'Abby it's me'.

"Where is he?" Abby suddenly said, "Where did he go?"

"Who?" Noah said.

"Austin," Abby said, "He was here."


"How are you…what are you doing here?" Kyle said.

"You're surprised to see me," Austin said.

"You were dead," Summer said, "Kyle, what's going on?"

"Where did you come from?" Kyle said.

"Not important," Austin said, "Nice wedding by the way."

"You were at the wedding?" Summer said.

"It was a little sappy for my taste," Austin said.

"Okay, so you're alive," Kyle said, "Why don't you go back wherever you came from and leave us all alone."

"I can't do that," Austin said.

"Why not?" Kyle said.

"I came to get my wife back," Austin said.

Summer stared at him and said, "You mean me? I'm not your wife anymore."

"You will be, it's just a matter of time" Austin said.

"You're out of your mind," Summer said, "You lied, you cheated, you are a criminal, what makes you think I would want anything to do with you?"

"You loved me once," Austin said.

"Never again," Summer said.

"Don't be like that," Austin said, "You are coming with me."

"Think again," Kyle said, "Better yet, let's go inside and let the cops know you are alive and they can deal with you."

"I can't let you do that," Austin said.

"Summer, go inside," Kyle said.

"I'm not leaving you out here with him," Summer said, "Come on, let's both go."

"You are not listening," Austin said, producing a gun, "I say you both stay."

Susie covered her mouth to suppress a gasp, as she and Connor watched in fear.
