"Lunch. Eat it or miss it, people" Fiona yelled from the kitchen, I was already on my way in. "What more piss food?" Lip asked as he came downstairs, Debbie who was carrying Liam and Ian followed him down. "You know it" Fi said "all right" lip said "it's smells so good" I said. I went to grab a plate but all of them where in the sink, Lip looked at me "we could eat it straight from the dish?" I said. "Or cups? Cup of lasagna, anyone?" He said and grabbed a few cups "get the forks Lucy" he told me. "Who was on dishes today?" Fi asked "uh, I'll get to them after lunch" Ian said. Carl came downstairs and joined us. "Hey debs?" V yelled from the lounge-room. "Yeah!" Debbie yelled out "you ready to go to target?" V said "oh, yeah, sure. And you're not coming Lucy" Debbie said and stuck her tongue out at me. I rolled my eyes as I spooned some lasagne into my cup. "What's that smell? It's either vomit or fancy cheese" V said "it can be both if you want" Carl said as he dug into the cup of lasagna Lip gave him. "Target?" Fiona asked as she opened the fridge. "Debs is going to help me register gifts" v said. "I can help you get stuff you want too" I said. "Your way better not involve stealing" Fiona warned me "I'll write you a list Lucy" v said. "I thought the wedding was off" fi said "back on" v said. "Can I get some pop please?" I asked Fi as I saw her get some out of the fridge. "Kev know?" She asked V. "Mm-hm" mumbled V as she came over to the table. She took my fork off me and got some lasagna. "Oh damn, tell that girl I will crap of a paper plate for her if it gets me some of this grub" v said. "Good huh?" I said. V nodded and got another mouthful. I grabbed my fork back once she was done.

There was banging on the back door, "Lucy! Get your arse out here!" Lee yelled. "Give me 5, eating lasagna" I yelled back. "Hurry up!" Cue yelled. "What delinquency have you got planned for today?" Lip asked me. I simply answered "work" as I shovelled more lasagna into my mouth. "What idea you going with?" Lip asked. "Bricks" "bricks with spikes under the snow to catch the drivers cutting corners?" I nodded. "So delinquently then" Ian asked. "And work, the best combination. How many customers you find?" Lip said. "10, $5 each. Won't take long" I said and got up from the table.

We quickly dug a hole in the snow while a couple of the kids kept a look out. Cue dropped a couple of bricks in and we covered it up. "Ok, where's the next spot?" He asked. Hannah looked at the list. "Paulina st" she said. "Oh we'll be going past that arseholes house, make some whizz art on the way?" Conner said. We all agreed that was a good idea and took off.

"Lucy!" Frank yelled out. I didn't plan on stopping for him but the others made me. "Go on, it's always so funny" Hannah snickered. "I hate you guys" I told them as they laughed and dragged me towards Frank. "My daughter, I could be dying. The c word" Frank said. "Cunt?" Lee asked. "Cancer, you dumbass. I've got an extra ball, dr is going to take a biopsy" Frank said. "Just throw it away?" Conner suggest. "What? Lucy, why are you hanging out with these idiots" frank said. "They are making more sense than you are" I told him. "Why are you being so mean, I could die. Your father, dead. Doesn't that make you feel something?" Frank said. "I don't even know what you're on about frank" I said. "I have a third testicle, not 2, 3" frank yelled. "Really? When did it grow?" Cue asked. "Is your nutsack huge then?" Conner asked. "No, it's always been there" frank said. I sighed. "Then why is it an issue?" I asked. "The doctor wants a biopsy, it could be cancer" Frank said. We just stood there looking at him. "I need a drink, you got cash?" Frank asked. I didn't move. "It could be my last Lucy" he said. I shook my head but pulled a note out of my pocket and gave it to him. "Bye Frank" I said and walked away.

I tossed in my bed. I couldn't get to sleep, it was only 10pm but Fiona had insisted I go to bed. Debbie was asleep and Liam had finally fallen asleep. V, Kev and Fi went out onto the balcony to smoke and still be able to hear him. I got up and went downstairs. Everyone else was in bed too. I looked through the fridge for some food but couldn't find anything yummy so got some pop and started to watch tv. Kev came down the stairs and sat next to me, he just stared at the tv. "I love this show" he mumbled. Fi and V soon followed him. "Lucy, why?" Fi asked as she sat down on the couch too. "I don't need to sleep" I whined. "We got a fake wedding to plan" V said as she squeezed in between me and Kev, "why fake?" I asked. "Kevs already married" Fi said. "What?" I asked. "He married some nutcase he was in foster with" V said. "Where is she? Don't married people live together and stuff?" I asked. "I haven't seen her in ages, only a piece of paper says we are married." Kev said. "Then don't be married to her anymore?" I suggested. "It's not that simple" Fi said. "I don't get it" I said and went back to watching the tv.

V brought a pile of French toast to the table and we all helped ourselves, I drenched mine in syrup. "Ok, so the dress is sorted with Shelia?" V asked. "Yes, she's really excited and can make dresses for everyone else too" Debbie said. "Hannah's got an old one I can borrow" I said. "Good, I've already got something" Fi said. "Ok, Lip is going to get a priest?" V said. "Yep, I'll take Carl and do it today" "good, we will have it at the alibi but will need to decorate and get some flowers, girls?" V said. "I can do that. I can make garlands and use fairy lights" Debbie said. "Just use whatever we already have" Fi said. Debbie screwed up her face but nodded. "What about flowers then?" Debbie said. "Lucy, go check out florist and see if there's a way to get some cheap ones" Fiona told me.

I knocked on the Milkovichs door.

"I found a florist, alley way door to the store but the shop guy is really jumpy and keeps looking around. I need someone to distract him" I told Mandy and Ian.

"He isn't interested in me" Mandy said as she came back outside "what? Everyone's always interested in you" Ian said. "You're not" Mandy said. Ian smirked. "What?" I asked. "Ian needs to go in and talk to him" Mandy said. Ian came back out with a smile on his face "looks like you found some flowers Luc" he said.

We all ran as fast as we could up to my house. Thankfully back door was unlocked and everyone went in "up the stairs!" I told them. "What did you do?!" Fiona screeched. "Nothing, just some arseholes after us. Say we aren't here. Thanks" I said and followed my friends upstairs. We waited in the hallway. There was a banging on the door. "Get the bat" I heard Fi say. Someone opened the door 'get out of here' Lip yelled. 'We are after a bunch of kids' a guy said 'they didn't come in here, there's a path that goes around the front' Lip said and I heard the door close. My friends started laughing and high fiving, 'you're an arsehole Cory, I told you not to throw rocks' I said and pushed him in the chest. He went to push me back but Fi got in between us. 'Everyone out!' She yelled. Everyone bolted, I tried to join them but Fi grabbed my arm. 'Not you' she said. Lip smirked as I went down the stairs 'what did you do?' He asked 'stop looking proud' Fi said and playfully slapped him on the arm as she walked past. 'Cory is an idiot; it wasn't even fun' I said. "You're spending the rest of the day with me" Fi told me. I sighed loudly.

V stood on Shelia's coffee table as Shelia pinned fabric to her to make her dress. Debbie had been at Shelia's for hours getting her dress fitted. "You don't have to go crazy, Shelia, but as close to Vera Wang as you can" v said. "You are going to to make a beautiful bride" Shelia said to V. "Oh, Shelia, you're making me feel like Cinderella" v said "Fiona where's those crisps" I yelled out. "Screw cinderella" Karen yelled out from the dining table. Fiona came back into the lounge-room and handed me the pack of crisps. 'That doe eyed bitch. Probably one of the worst role models for little girls" Karen continued "I like the version were her stepsisters cut of their toes to fit in the shoes" I said. Karen pointed at me and smiled. "I think Cinderella was a feminist" Shelia said "the whole idea of marriage is a useless vestige of an archaic civilisation" Karen said. Fiona chuckled. "How would you know?" Debbie said "I watched one unravel" Karen said. "Oh, so one example of a bad one makes them all bad? Hmm?" Debbie asked. "In the old times marriage was nothing more than a legal exchange of women for property" Karen said. I looked at Fiona then V. "Maybe you're being a little pessimistic" fi said "it's just a piece of paper" Karen scoffed "a birth certificate is just a piece of paper, and money, money is just a piece of paper. But those are pretty valuable" Debbie said "true" Shelia said "plus it's a party and V will get presents" I added "yes!" V said and pointed at me. "Now let's talk bachelorette party" she said "oh I got that covered" Fiona said "do I get to go?" I asked "no!" Both v and Fi said. I crossed my arms and sulked "I wants to dance" I said. "'We will dance all night at the wedding" v said "really? All night?" I said. "Mm-hmm" v said and started singing and dancing. I jumped up and joined her then grabbed Debbie's hands and made her join in too. She waved her hands around weirdly and jumped up and down. "I don't think that's dancing" I told her. Fi kicked me in the arse.

V and Kev bachelor party. Lucy stays at a friends house.

I ran into Fiona's room and jumped on her bed "wedding day!" I screamed. Fiona grabbed me and pulled me down into the bed "Jesus" V mumbled. I looked at Fi, she smirked. "Wedding day!" We screamed together. "V!" Kev yelled up the stairs, it sounded urgent. V quickly got up and rushed down to see him, Fi and I followed. Kev was stnding in the lounge room, he was wearing weird clothes and had dicks down on his face. "We got a visitor, a really unexpected visitor. Your brother" Kev said. "Marty?" V asked sounding concerned. Kev ran his hand through his hair and blocked down on the couch. V started pacing up and down the lounge room. "I didn't even know you had a brother" Fi said as she sat down on the couch too. "There's a reason for that" Kev said. "Prison" V mumbled as she passed the couch. "He busted out of prison?" Fi asked. I went over and grabbed a glass of soda on the coffee table left over from last night and sat down on the chair. "Yeah last night" Kev said. "What was he in for?" Fi asked. "Aggravated assault, larceny and arson" V said as she continued to pace. "Lucy can you go make coffee" Fion asked. I sighed but got up and went into the kitchen. They were talking to quietly for me to hear them.

"Fiona! V!" I yelled as I ran into V and Kevs house. A big guy was sitting on the couch "you Marty?" I asked him. "Upstairs!" I heard Fi yell. I sprinted up the stairs and burst into the bedroom. "Oh, wow look at you!" Kev said "look at those curls! Come over here" V said. I went and sat down next to her on the bed and leaned up against Fiona. "She's doing Debbie's hair now, will take an hour or two" I said. No one looked particularly happy. "Marty doesn't seem that bad" I said. V scoffed. "Maybe we should just let him come?" Fiona said. "No way, I'm not having that nutcase at my wedding. Can you imagine the service? Do you Veronica – fucking bitch – Fisher, take this man – fuck dick- Kevin Ball … uh-uh, no" V acted out Marty's Tourettes. We all started to laugh. "I'm going to take him back to prison even if I gotta drag his ass back there myself" V said. "Always happens when he is off his meds" Kev said. "Meds?" I asked Kev. "He takes meds to help him behave better but the idiot stops taking them sometimes" V explained. "Hey give me your dress so I can steam it" Fiona said and wiggled her way off the bed. "Behind the door" V said. V twirled one of my curls "very pretty" she said "Mrs costa just washed it and dried it, didn't have to use rollers or anything" I said. The door squeaked as Fiona opened it, "nope" she said. "Bathroom door" v said, Fiona left the room. "yeah like I always tell you too" V said to me. I smirked at her. '"Got a real pretty dress Roni, it'll burn nicely with all this taffeta" someone yelled out. V jumped off the bed. We all went over to the bathroom door "oh Jesus" Kev sighed. I figured it must be Marty yelling. "you send me back to jail this dress goes up, this house goes up, we all go up!" Marty continued. "Marty? Open the door" v said calmly then slapped it hard. Fiona jumped. I grabbed her hand "open the god damn door!" V yelled. "You're not getting married without me. Cock fuck!" Marty yelled. "Lucy go see if Mrs costa can do my hair in a couple of hours instead" Fi said. I sighed but left.

Ian had been in the shop for 5 minutes. I picked the lock and Lip and I grabbed a few lots of flowers then nicked off.

I took the remaining scraps of my dress over to Vs house "Fiona! Debbie cut up my dress!" I yelled. Fi was doing up Vs dress, "oh wow! Hot" I said "ooo thanks babe" V said and held out her hand for me. "What you say about your dress?" Fi asked as she took her clothes off. "It's ruined" I said and held out the scraps. "Debbie did this? Really? What the fuck!" Fi said. "Why? Why would she do this?" Fi said. "Fiona, you know why" V said. Fi stopped and look at V and then me. "We will find you something else to wear" V said "I don't have another dress" I said while I watched Fiona put on hers. "Or anything half decent" she said "I still can't believe Debbie would do this, her hair looks fine and she's a pretty girl" fi said as she turned her back to me and pointed at her zipper. I did it up, she swatted down so I could reach all the way. "She is, she's beautiful. But Lucy gets a lot more attention and is, just, I mean look at her" v said. I looked up at Fiona, "it's not my fault" I said. Fiona hugged me "it's not" she said. "I don't want the attention" I grumped. Vs mother burst through the door "oh my god! Look at my baby girl!" she gushed "isn't she just the most beautiful?! You're an angel my girl" she continued as she went over to V and started to poke at her dress and hair. Fiona grabbed my hand and we went home.

"Debbie!" Fi yelled as soon as we got inside. "What's going on?" Ian asked coming out of the kitchen. Fiona shook her head. "Can you look through my clothes and see if there's a nice top or something Lucy can wear?" Fi asked him.

V and Kev stood in front of the priest holding hands "may daily problems never cause you undue anxiety, nor the desire for earthly possessions dominate your lives" the priest said. Fiona was standing next to V with some flowers. Lip was standing next to Kevin. The rest of us stood behind them with everyone else. "But may your hearts first desire be always the good things waiting for you in the life of heaven. Amen" the priest said "Amen" everyone else said, I looked around at everyone. "You may kiss the bride" Kev and V kissed and everyone cheered, I joined in on that one.

The music started and everyone started to dance. Carl was in charge of videoing it all. I danced with everyone there and ripped up some flowers to make pretty confetti and threw it at people. I saved the stalks to throw at Debbie and Carl.

I missed the speech. Kev called us all together and made us pose on the bar. "Okay Gallaghers, you're the only family I got so let put this on film" he set up a camera on the table then ran to join us. It took a few goes but eventually he got one. Steve, Fi and V sat on the bar. Frank and Debbie were on stools with liam in franks lap. Then it was Kev who had picked me up and had me on his hip, Vs mom was next to him and Ian and Carl swatted down on at the front. "Wait, where's lip?" Fi asked. There was yelling from the bathroom and then the smell of smoke "oh shit!" Kev yelled but went behind the bar instead of the bathroom. Fiona grabbed me and told everyone to stay where they were. Lip and Karen ran out of the bathroom "fire!" Lip yelled. Kev had grabbed a fire extinguisher and was already running into the bathroom. A few other guys followed.
