If Happy Ever After Did Exist

Chapter 3: Wedding

"You're what?" I looked at Aaron. "I'm marrying my girlfriend." Aaron repeated. "I'm 24 and ready."

"Right." I said. "Come here, love!" Aaron called. I looked and there stood a young woman. "Cherry, this is my girlfriend Karina." He smiled and tooked the woman's hand. "Karina, this is my sister Sherry but we call her Cherry."

"Nice to meet you." Karina smiled. I smiled back. We shook hands and talked for a bit. "We want you to plan the wedding, sis." Aaron finally said. I looked at him, wide-eyed. "I don't know how to plan a wedding!" I admitted. "It's okay, I'm sure you'll do great!" He smiled. "We better go." He said.

I pulled my orange hair into a braided bun. A bit fancy but eh. "Hey." I turned to see Dally at my window. "Dally?" I say. "Yup!" He smiled brightly.

The warmest smile I've seen him ever do. Ever. I opened my window to let him in. "Hey." I say. "Hey." He responds after a few seconds. He looks around, "Whatcha up to?" He asks. "Planning a wedding." I laugh. "Hm?" I heard a hum come from him. "Who's?" He asks after another few seconds. "My brother." I reply. "He's getting married to his girlfriend of, I dont know how many years. Or months." I mutter just loud enough for Dally to hear me. "Oh." Dally responds.

"Is anyone home?" He asks. "Just my step-mom." I write on a piece of paper my wedding plans. "Is she good?" He asks after a minute or so. "Why are you asking so many questions, Dal?" I ask him. I kisses me. "Because." He laughs.

"Cherry, I have-" My step-mom walks in on me and Dally kissing. "Oh!" She yelps and covers her eyes. "Step-mom! What a surprise!" I called and smiled nervously. I could see a smirk forming on Dally's face. "Cherry, who is he?" She asks.

"This is the greaser I was talking about. His name is-"

"Dallas Winston."

I stare at my step-mom for a minute. "You know who he is?" I ask. She nods. "I'll leave y'all now." She walks out of my room. "Back to wedding planning." I try to get back on schedule.

Dally helps me a little bit. "The weddings in 2 weeks." I tell Dally. "We can do this. I'll help ya." He kisses my cheek. I smile. We get to work.

~2 weeks later~

"It's time!" I yell. Dally jerks himself up. "Huh??" He questions. "We've been working day and night for 2 weeks and we've finally done!" I hug Dally. "That's great, red!" He laughs and hugs back. "Here's the invite by the way." I hand Dally an invite that reads To The Greasers By Karina Smith. I see a littlr smile form on his face. "I'll see ya there!" Dally yells as he hops out my window. "It's at the lake!" I yell. "Alright!" He yells back, "Love ya!"

"Love you!" I blew him a kiss.

We started setting everything up (Marcia helped me) and we got done around 2, almost 3, and the wedding started at 5. Everyone started arriving at 4. I saw the greasers and I smiled. My father snickered at the greasers, talking bad about them. I saw Dally,  Ponyboy, Sodapop, Two-Bit, Darry and Steve. They sat around the back and I get why. I saw Johnny rush in a little later. Must've been running late, I thought. I felt bad, his parents were some mean drunks.

At last, the wedding has started. I saw Karina's older brother walk her down the isle. People smiled and some clapped. Aaron sighs and smiles at the sight of his beautiful girlfriend, walking down the isle. She got up and the guy getting them married cleared his throat. "Aaron Valance, do you take Karina Smith to be your happily wedded wife, through thick and thin, through sickness and in health?" The man asks. "I do." Aaron says.

"Karina, do you take Aaron to be your happily wedded husband, through thick and thin, through sickness and in health?" He turns to Karina and asks. "I do." She replies. "Now you may kiss the bride." He says. Aaron and Karina kiss. Everyone claps and screams of excitement. The rest of the night was peaceful. I stayed with Dally by the lake most of the time though.

We watched the beautiful sunset alongside Johnny and Pony. Darry and Soda stayed up under the roof up on shore. Aaron and Karina were talking and walking around the place. My family had took the kids near the playground. Steve and Two-Bit were joking with Marcia and our cheerleading buddy Ally. I'm not sure if they know that Ally is lebsian or not.

Dally and I said goodnight to each other and went out separate ways. As soon as I touched my bed, I went fast asleep.

I'm sorry this was shorter but I was running out of stuff to put. :,) This was also a stupid I idea I had -
