We come into the living room of the couple Christie and Eddy. Eddy is watching TV, when Christie walks in shuffling a few pages. This catches Eddy's attention.

"So, Eddy, our wedding is tomorrow. You wrote your vows down?" Eddy nods his head with a very serious expression that matches Christie's. "Good, I wrote mine down too."

There is only a seconds pause, before Eddy's eyebrow raises. "Babe, aren't supposed to be with Xiaoyu today? She mentioned something about a bachelorette party." Christie's eyes grow big.

"You weren't supposed to know about that. I can't believe you know. Goodness." While Christie gets that faraway look symbolizing her thinking, Eddy answers her silent question.

"Xiaoyu has a big mouth. What can I say?" He shrugs his shoulders. And proceeds to watch TV. "Besides, everyone knows about the bachelor and bachelorette parties."

"Yeah, but I'm not going to have one. The only half naked guy I need to see is you." Her eyes speak more truth than her words could ever say. This is why he loves her.

"Come here." Christie walks over and kisses him. He holds her. "You're the only one that can make me seem girlish. Making me get all sentimental and such."

Christie lifts her head from his chest. "Don't forget, you tell me how you feel too." She lays her head back down and feels his body shake.

Laughing, Eddy tells her, "Yeah, and that's our little secret."

Holding her shoulders, Eddy says, "Chris, Xiaoyu may have said she isn't gonna throw you a party, but you better believe she is. I know you're salty, just suck it up. Go with her and pretend you don't know she's still thowing it. Then enjoy yourself."

"You mean, you trust me?"

"Obviously, or I'd of had a fit by now. I've known what Xiao was gonna do for a few weeks." He shakes his head reassuring her.

"You trust me with a guy you know is gonna be Hot?"

"Yeah. I trust you."

"Trust me with a guy that'll not only be Hot, but be burning up and taking his clothes off?"

"If you keep stressing it, I won't." Christie gives a playful smile. "Now, go get dressed." He gives Christie a little grab and push towards their room. She turns back around with a smile and Eddy meets it with a wink.

We see that Christie comes back in 30 minutes. She's changed from her black sneakers, black shorts and purple baby-t, to her pink platform thong sandals, white capris and pink one shoulder top (left shoulder out) changing her chestnut hair from the plait to a ponytail across her left shoulder. Her makeup is nice, black mascara, white eyeliner and faint pink eyeshadow over her hazel eyes, topped off with lip gloss.

"Ooo wee, you look good." Eddy stands up and kisses her. "Mmmm cotton candy flavor. My favorite." "I know. My favorite too. Anyway..." She trails off picking up her forgotten papers and placing them on the wood table. "I wanted to do our vows..."

Eddy interrupts. "Christie, you'll be late. We can do them later."

"I know. But I wanted to just ask you one question." He thinks about it.

"'One' question?"

"'One' question, Eddy."

"Okay."

"What can you do for me? I don't mean providing money, but what you 'yourself' can do for me." Before Eddy can respond, Xiaoyu walks through the door. Christie notices that she isn't wearing her usual pink clothes, but a purple halter, khakis and thick black flip flops. She's wearing faint lavender eyeshadow, black mascara, white brown eyeliner around her dark brown eyes and lip gloss. What's more amazing is, she even traded in her two black ponytails for a bun.

"Hey all." She waves and smiles. "I know you weren't expecting me, but I decided to pick you up. Since I was already out."

"What are you two going to get at the mall?" Eddy asks with a smile that Xiaoyu misses.

"I'm not exactly sure yet...You ready to go, Christie?" She turns toward her.

"Yeah." Christie responds hesitantly, not wanting to go with her question unanswered.

"Have fun." He waves as they head out the door.

We don't see Christie and Xiaoyu immediately, but hear Eddy.

"Yeah. I'll be there at around...7. That good? Good. 7 it is. Wait, it is on Hyde street? Okay. Bye."

We watch Eddy walk to their shared room. We see Xiaoyu put her phone in her purse, then speak to Christie.

"That was Miharu. She said she was sorry she couldn't make it. She's really pissed she couldn't come to your wedding. I'd be pissed too if I couldn't come and join in on my bestfriend's happiness."

"Awww. Aren't you sweet, Xiao. But you know why Miharu can't come?"

Xiao glances towards me. "No. Is it because she's pregnant?"

"No. Well, part of it. But it's because she's on bed rest."

"Why?"

"She's on bed rest.

"Have you seen her? She's huge! No wonder she can't walk!"

"That's mean, Xiao. I know you don't like her. Anyway, she's on bed rest because the came across complications during this pregnancy. She could lose the baby."

"I don't like her, but I don't want her to lose the baby." I shake my head in understanding.

I notice that we're not going to the mall. So I pretend to be shocked.

"We're not going to the mall, Xiao?"

"Nope. We're having a private get together, just you, me, Julia, Asuka, Nina and Anna."

"Anna and Nina getting along now?"

"Yeah, but we don't know how long. Don't wanna jinx either. We count it as a blessing." I shake my head at that.

We turn into a parking lot and I notice there's only two other cars. Xiao notices and answers my un asked question. "I told you it was just gonna be us." I look at her suspiciously. She puts up her hands. "Come on, Chris, no bachelorette party. Okay?" I nod.
We go in and I see exactly who she said was going to be there. Julia in her rose pink capris, white spaghetti strap top and white platform thong flip flops, rose pink eyeshadow over her hazel eyes, and trading in her two plaits for her sandy brown hair in a ponytail. She waves to me and I wave back. I turn towards the punch bowl, and there's Asuka. Wearing a khaki below the knee skirt, a black spaghetti stap top and tan thick thong flip flops, her dark brown hair in a mini ponytail. She also had on light brown eyeshadow. She noticed me.

She stands in front of me. "Hey, Chris. Ready to have fun?"

"Yeah." She thinks for a second. "Too bad you didn't want a bachelorette party. It woulda been fun." She pouts.

"I didn't feel comfortable. You know with him supposed to come up to me, and give me special attention."

Asuka laughs. "Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm gonna go freshen up. I'll be back." She walks to the big mirror and proceeds to touch up her makeup. Turning away from her, I see Anna and Nina for the first time. Anna's wearing a yellow tube top, white platform thong sandals, beige capris, and her auburn hair in a mini ponytail. Nina's wearing a green one shoulder top (off the right shoulder), a khaki skirt, thick black flip flops and her dark blonde hair not in the ususal ponytail, but a plait. Upon closer inspection, I see that Nina's wearing green eyeshadow over her gray/blue eyes and brown eyeliner and Anna's wearing black eyeliner and tan eyeshadow over her gray/blue eyes. And I can clearly see they're not happy.

"Get the hell away from me, Anna."

"Whatever b!tch, you rode in my car. I shouldn't have been nice to you."

Xiao runs past me to break them up. I hear a noise and a voice belonging to Julia. "And now, our entertainment for tonight. A very sexy man who's gonna shake what his mama gave to him."

I hear cheers around me.

"Let's give it up for, E.G.!"

I look around me, truly not amazed that my friends knew what Xiao was up to. I turn back towards the stage and I see a mans back. It's chocolate brown. I cant see anything else. Hes wearing white pants. Music comes on and I recognize it. The man turns around, but his face is still covered. All I can see is his chest. A chest that I've seen for 5 years now. And off comes the mask, confirming who it is. The dark brown hair, light brown eyes. It's Eddy!

He's singing with the instrumental version of the song. Adding his owns words here and there.

I wonder if only Julia, Xiao and Asuka knew Eddy was gonna be the dancer.

He's singing directly to me. Not seeming the least bit embarrassed, either.

Eddy dances around the stage, never taking his eyes off me.

My friends are clapping and waving.

I have the best, best friends ever. I couldn't ask for more.

They whistle at Eddy and wink at me. I now know that they all were in on this together.
Eddy jumps off the stage and stands in front of me.

"You wanted to know what I could give you as myself? I can give my love unconditionally. I can be the best husband in the whole world to you. And most importantly, I'll give you completeness."

He smiles and I give him a kiss that I never knew I could.

"I feel like crying, Eddy." He wipes my tears away.

"Why?"

"Because I'm so happy." Eddy kisses me again.

"So am I, Christie. I love you, babe."

"I love you."

"Well if you love me, 'shake that thing'!" And I did for hours. Nothing is better than dancing with the love of my life. Well, except two years later giving birth to our first child, Leila.
