Dreams - (Completed)

Chapter 12

They all also had a signed copy of the Fearless CD. Finally, all the gifts had been given out except Becky's. As she handed all the Fandies ones out she said a little something about the group:

"You girls have changed my life, with Mandy's help I'm a completely different person, for good. I can't thank each of you enough in words now, so I wrote you all a little card."

She pulled out Chris's gift next. "Chris, Thank You so much, for helping organise all of this for the girls and I. Getting to spend today with you has been a dream and an blast. I know how you've seen some of my drawings online, and since I've not been able to send you any, I thought I'd make you something similar to what I made and sent Mandy for her 1 year, Hamilversary."

Out of the corner of her eye she saw Mandy's jaw drop, "Becky, you spent hours on that for me." Mandy said.

"Yep and I spent many more hours on this one. Some of the pictures you will have seen before, some Mandy will have seen in her album and some are brand new ones I've been working on over the last month."

As Chris ripped open the paper and looked through the album. "WOW, Thanks Becky!" He gave her a side hug. "Yo, Lin, Karen, have you two seen the crazy things Becky draws?"

"Yeah, I saw one that she did for V and I for our anniversary. It was incredible, but I've not seen any others."

"I think I saw one but not any others." Karen replied.

As they said this Becky pulled out the next 2 things, they both were envelopes. "Okay, these were very last minute as I wasn't quite planning on you two being here, but I ran down to the print shop while everyone changed with Liv and Kerrie and printed these off for you." 

Inside each envelope was a small selection of drawings Becky had done.

"Thank You Becky, I'm going to frame some of these on my theatre wall at home." Lin responded.

"Yeah, same here, these are insane." Karen said.

Becky turned to Mandy and paused. She took a deep breath, Mandy nodded.

"Mandy, I couldn't find the perfect gift for you, I'm sorry. But how do you buy something for the person who's given you everything? What can possibly be worth that much? So the girls and I put this together and we hope you like it. Merry Christmas Mandy, I love you."

The girls all stood up and stood in position at the far end of the room. They stared the music and did their dance. No one fell, no one tripped, and no one messed up. Everything when to plan. At one point Becky looked out to Mandy and the others and noticed Mandy with the biggest smile across her face and tears in her eyes. She even noticed Chris tearing up a little but tried to hide it.

When the dance was over, Mandy got up and ran over to Becky, tears streaming down her face. "Becky that was beautiful, it means so much to me that you would so something so special like that for me. Thank you, I'll never let go of this present as long as I live." She then squeezed Becky as tight as she could and gave her a peck on the cheek.

Becky couldn't believe it, she was about to pass out from the experience she was having. She told Mandy "We recorded our final run through of the dance before to post on YouTube, I could give you a copy if you want?"

"I would love that!" she spoke to all the girls, "Are you all okay with me posting the dance on my channel as well? This is something worth sharing with the world."

A chorus of "Of course." Came form all the girls.

Liv and Kerrie looked over at Becky, and she nodded giving the signal that she was going to say the final things.

"Okay, we have 4 final gifts to give out. These are all on behalf of all 16 of us to all of you. She pulled the 10 London gift bags out of her larger bag and handed the smaller ones to each of them and the 6 larger ones, 2 for Karen and Chris each, and one each for Mandy and Lin. They all opened the smaller ones addressed to them. As they ripped open the envelopes they all started tearing up seeing the card with the picture on. They looked inside and read the messages Becky had written with all their names.

"How did you do this? We only took that photo a few hours ago." Lin asked.

"You all got the musical theatre talents and I have the speedy, gift giving talent." They all laughed.

"I have one more thing to give out, that I almost forgot." Becky said as she pulled the stack of pictures out of the last bag. "I really want to thank all 15 of the girls sat here, each one of you means the world to me and you all add something different and unique to the chat. These 2 days wouldn't be the same without you." She passed round all the pictures. "I'm sure this photo is something we will all treasure forever, and we will all remember these few days for the rest of our lives.

Becky still couldn't believe the events of today, but it was only going to get better.
