"I'm hallucinating right? There's not three men standing in front of me?" Alice asked stopping in her tracks. She, Hermione and Mary had just figured out what song they were going to sing at Betty's bachelorette party.
"A yummy batch of men." Hermione smirked looking the men up and down. "Hermione that's..."
"Alice!" Tom smiled seeing his ex.
"What um, what the hell are all of you doing here?" She was in shock. Why would they decide to show up now! "Alice Hunny..." Mary started. "Meet me in my room." Alice pushed her bestfriends away in a different direction.
She turned her attention to the three men who had made theirselves comfortable on a bench, waiting for an explanation.
"I'm here writing a novel."
"I'm here on a spontaneous adventure."
"And I...I dropped by to say hi."
Alice wasn't truly bothered. She was more surprised if anything. She could see Tom coming here for a novel, Fred well he, he was always just a good friend who was sweet. It was FP that brought her to the edge.
"Well, go back to where you came from. I don't need the extra guest and we're...we are booked." She smirked thinking she had gotten ride of them.
"It's alright we will stay on Tom's boat. Right boys?" FP smirked throwing his hands over Tom and Fred's shoulders. Alice's eyes filled with fire. The game was on and she was going to win.
"Fine, but don't expect my hospitality." She huffed and with that she was off to Hermione and Mary.
~~
Alice stormed into the room throwing herself onto the bed. "What's crawled your ass?" Hermione asked turning her attention away from the mirror. "Three annoying men that's what." She huffed and covered her face with her hands.
"Who are they?" Mary asked sitting next to Alice. "They...they are Betty's dad."
"Which one!" Hermione and Mary screamed.
"I ha. I don't know?" Alice started to pace around the room. "Alice Smith you shady lady. You slept with all three of them?" Hermione smirked. She didn't know how adventurous her friend really was.
"Fred was, well he was a one night thing. Tom I actually started to fall for and then FP he...he..."
"You love him!" Mary exclaimed jumping off the bed. "I do not!" Alice hissed waving for her to shut up.
"Well you did at one point babe." Hermione smiled sadly. Alice was never good at talking about her feelings. "I met him on the island. We planned to fix up the villa together." Alice smiled sadly thinking of the memories. "And then I found out he was engaged. He went home to get married and I never saw him again."
"Oh Alice. Who do you think?"
"FP." She sighed playing with her fingers. "But enough about them. We have a show to practice for." Alice winked and pulled the girls out of the room.
~~
The three woman were behind the small stage putting on their outfits. "You know I don't know why we ever wore this. It's a pain in the ass to get on." Mary huffed flopping down on the bed.
"Oh come on babe. It's one more night for your niece." Alice winked and pulled her to her feet.
"One last time?" Hermione smirked. They entered onto the stage catching the girls attention.
"I don't do this often so you better enjoy it while it lasts." Alice chuckled and the three got into position.
Super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show (wishing every show was the last show)
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming (glad to hear you're coming)
Suddenly I feel all right
(And suddenly it's gonna be)
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
Like I always do (sup-p-per troup-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
And there he was again just standing there. Tom and Fred had followed him, but her eyes never left FP's. "Look look look." She whispered to the girls as they turned on stage.
Alice watched FP's every move as she sung. He started to dance like he did when they were young. It brought a small smile to her face until she realized the song ended.
Alice blew a kiss to Betty and went back stage. "What the hell are they still doing here!" She yelled thrashing around the pillows on the bed.
"Alice, I'm going to be real with you. FP is here for you." Hermione shrugged. "Betty invited them. Obviously she got the information from somewhere...Alice where's your journal?" Mary asked seeing it missing.
"Damnit!" She face palmed. She couldn't blame Betty for wanting to meet her dad. "Let's go enjoy tonight hm?" Mary smiled and got the girls moving to change.
When they re-entered the party the men were being drug away by the young girls. Alice smirked at Tom and Fred. They deserved to have fun.
She was laughing until her eyes landed on FP, who was also being drug away. Alice glared at the girls dancing on FP. "You know mom, you can always stop that." Betty winked at her mom before joining the dancing.
Alice scoffed still focusing on him. Hermione and Mary went to the bar leaving her alone.
"Damnit Smith relax. He's not yours. He left you!" Alice sighed angrily with herself. Even after all these years he had her heart.
Girls screaming brought her back to reality. One of Betty's friends got a little to handsy with FP and she couldn't take it anymore. She downed a shot Mary handed her and went to him.
The girls were rowdy and drunk, but Alice was over it. She tapped on the girls shoulder. "You are dancing with the brides father sweetheart." Alice smiled sweetly before grabbing FP's hand and dragging him away.
"Betty's mine?" FP's eyes widened. "No shit FP."
"Well with the three other guys on this island right now I wasn't sure!" He growled and Alice pulled them farther away for privacy.
"You don't get to judge me on relationships. I kept mine to one at a time." Alice hissed back shoving her finger into his chest.
"I'm not judging! I'm jealous! You know how much it hurt when I came back and you were gone." FP's eyes filled with hurt.
Alice's faces softened. "You...you came back?"
"I broke off my marriage and thought you would be here, waiting for me. I was stupid and Gladys married me to prove it." FP sighed defeated.
"You came back." Alice whispered more to herself then him. Knowing he loved her was a whole new look on everything.
"Yes I came back how many times do I..."
FP was cut off by Alices lips meeting his. He snaked his arms around her holding her closer than he ever has.
She tightened her arms around his neck, loving the feeling of being in his arms again. "You came back." She whispered again. "For the woman I love." He nodded, resting his forehead against hers.
"Let's let our daughter have her own party. We can have our own." Alice smiled as she walked backward to her room. "Al are you sure?" FP has just gotten her back. He wasn't willing to mess it up again.
"I'm more than sure." She bit her lip as the two ran off to make up for 17 years of not seeing each other.
