Just as everyone was about to head outside, Damian appeared. “Where are you guys headed?” he asked. The others looked at him in shock. “To look for you…” Jen replied. Damian quickly glanced around and asked, “Why?” “Because Paul showed up about a half hour ago and you were no where to be found.” Sarah replied since the other lads looked about ready to hurt him. Damian looked around nervously, “I felt like going for a walk. So I went downtown for a little bit after M&G’s were over. I needed some time for myself. But if you were so worried you could have called…?” “It’s fine Damian,” Jen told him, “ We were just worried about you.” “So now that we’re all here, where do we want to go for dinner?” Keith asked. Paul laughed, “Isn’t that why we are all together right now? To figure that out?” Alanna glared at Paul and raised an eyebrow at him, “Really Paul?” Paul rolled his eyes at Alanna, and yelled, “Don’t you dare still my swanky eyebrow!” Alanna just gave him another look as George spoke up, “Everyone bundle up. We’re walking downtown and if we see somewhere to stop, we will.” Not wanting to disobey George, everyone bundled up as he went to get the rest of the group. The walk downtown was very relaxing. Denver was beautiful at night. There were many restaurants that looked good, but what they decided on was one of the Irish pubs, Fado Irish Pub. Sadly there was not game of football on, but they headed towards the back of the pub where there was a giant table for them all to sit at. They all enjoyed catching up with Sarah since they had not seen her since before tour. When they all realized how late it was getting, they headed back towards the buses in order to continue on the road. Everyone was exhausted and they all crashed quickly, except for Sarah and Keith. When Sarah realized she couldn’t sleep, she got up and moved towards the couches in order not to wake Jen and Alanna up. Sinking onto the couch, she began to read. “Hey…” she heard after a few minutes. Glancing up she saw Keith standing in the doorway. Sarah smiled and motioned him over. “Couldn’t sleep?” Sarah asked once Keith settled onto the couch next to her. “Nah,” he replied, “You?” Sarah shook her head. “Too much excitement today causing a lot to be running through my mind. At least I have some company now.” She grinned and rested her head on Keith’s shoulder. “You know,” Keith began, “whenever you can’t sleep, send me a text or call me and I’m there for you.” Sarah smiled, “But I’d hate to wake you up.” “I don’t care at all. I just want to be there for you, always.” Sarah looked up at him and saw the love radiating from his eyes. How she could have ever been mad at this man was beyond her. She was his life, and he was hers. Their eyes locked and both could feel their lips drawing closer until they sealed it with a kiss. The kiss was soft and sweet, but with each trying to pour as many of their feelings out into it. Before it went too far, they pulled away. Keith pulled Sarah close to him and she put her head on his chest, allowing her to finally fall asleep.

Thank you so much for reading this I have a little bit more pre-written, so updates should be coming for a bit longer. The next morning, Damian had no service on his cell phone, trying to find service, he began walking around the bus and opened the door to the lounge. He finally found service by a window after searching for about ten minutes. After sending his text message, he turned around and his eyes shot open. Edging out of the door, he went to wake Paul. “Paul,” he whispered as he shook him. “You have to come see this!” “..wha?” Paul replied as he finally opened his eyes. Damian held a finger to his lips. “Come with me. You’ll enjoy it.” Paul got up and quickly followed Damian to see what was up. As Damian and Paul reached the door to the lounge, Damian opened it and pointed inside. What they saw was Sarah and Keith sound asleep. Sarah was curled up on Keith with her head on his chest. Keith had his arms around her protectively with his head resting on hers. Damian looked at Paul with an evil look in his eyes. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” Damian whispered to Paul with a smirk on his face. “Why yes, young Damian, I think I am.” The two quickly walked towards the kitchen and began rifling through drawers until they found something they needed. They quietly snuck back to the lounge and went to work on their masterpiece. When they finished they brought everything back and began to make breakfast in order to look less suspicious. “Good morning,” Ryan said as he walked into the kitchen. “Wait a sec…” he said, rubbing his eyes. “Paul and Damian making breakfast? What’s wrong with this picture?” Paul and Damian shrugged and returned to making breakfast. Ryan sat down and put his head on his hands, trying to go back to sleep. Suddenly a scream was heard as Paul and Damian tried to hide laughter. “What did you two do?” Ryan asked as he went to investigate what was going on. As soon as he left, Paul and Damian grinned at each other and continued to make breakfast. Ryan quickly walked into the lounge, only to see Sarah and Keith with frosting all over them, along with faces drawn onto them. To Ryan, it was a very funny sight, but for them it was quite shocking. When Keith noticed that Ryan was in the room, he asked “Ryan! Do you have any idea who did this?” Ryan just laughed and told him to go look in the kitchen. Keith quickly stalked off while Sarah just stayed there. “PAUL! DAMIAN!” Keith yelled, “What on earth were you thinking?” Sarah just glanced at Ryan, very glad that she did not go join Keith in there. Thankfully nothing else could be heard until Keith came back into the room dragging them both by the ears. When Ryan saw this he quickly grabbed his camera and took a picture of the sight. “Keith?” Sarah asked, “Why are you dragging them by the ear?” “Because they did this to us, and they are going to clean it all up.” “What?” Damian exclaimed. “You started it, meaning you clean it,” Sarah replied as the two set about to cleaning. Sarah and Keith walked out to a sink in order to clean themselves off. “Well, that’s a way to start a morning,” Sarah said to Keith as she gave him a kiss on the cheek. “You taste good.” Keith glared at her and as he turned they were face to face with George and Sharon.

“Do I even want to know what is going on?” Sharon asked when she saw Keith and Sarah covered in frosting. They glanced at each other and shook their heads. “Ok then…” Sharon replied and looked at George. “If you two can be ready in about five minutes for a meeting about tonight that would be very helpful.” Keith and Sarah quickly finished cleaning up and went back to the lounge where Sharon had gathered everyone together. After a brief meeting discussing the finer details of the performance and venue that night, everyone went their separate ways to get prepared for that night. The show went by without a hitch, as did the rest of tour. Sarah had to fly home after the show, but thankfully there were no issues to be had over the remainder of tour. They would find time to talk each day, even during the middle of the night. After what happened last time, they knew they could not lose each other again. During the tour something was going on with Damian, but no one could get him to discuss it. They left him to his own devices, hoping everything was alright. Nothing seemed wrong, yet in some ways he almost felt distant to everyone. As the time grew closer and closer to head back home, Jen and Ryan began to get extremely nervous. Their wedding was coming up, about two weeks after tour ended. Jen began to feel the pressure coming on, so she called Sarah to help. Sarah agreed to help with figuring out the majority of plans, but there was no way to help with finding dresses. It was finally the day the group was coming home. Sarah was planning to surprise Keith by meeting him at the airport. She arrived about fifteen minutes prior to the plane landing. Those fifteen minutes passed quickly, but with no plane landing. Wondering what was going on, Sarah stood up and began pacing with nerves slowing creeping up on her and time dragging on. After twenty minutes, the plane finally landed and the passengers began to disembark. Soon Sarah could see each of the lads, Paul and Alanna in front, Damian behind texting on his phone, George eagerly looking for his wife, Carrie and daughter, Sarah, Sharon engaged in conversation with Ryan, Jen and Neil, Megan, Ruth, Zara, and Joyce, and finally Keith. Sarah’s face lit up when she saw that shaggy blonde hair and she ran over to meet him. Glancing up from looking at the ground, Keith saw Sarah. His eyes lit up, the ocean storm in them calming as they turned bright and peaceful. His smile filled his face as he exclaimed, “Sarah!” Without a word, Sarah flung her arms around Keith’s neck as he put his arms around her waist and hugged her close. “Words cannot even begin to describe my happiness Keith.” His lips came down to hers again. Their lips met like long lost friends, each having missed the other dearly. The world was perfect again in both their minds. As they pulled away Jen called, “Sarah! We need to get shopping. Please?” Sarah glanced at Keith and gave a grimace as she turned to join Jen and Alanna. With a backward glance towards Keith she mouthed, “Sorry, I’ll make it up later.” Keith nodded and smiled, and with that, she was gone.

So, this is the last update I have written.. meaning the next one will take a little while, but I'm working on it! “What am I supposed to do?” Jen asked nervously. “The wedding is so soon and I have no idea what dress I want, or what bridesmaid dresses, or anything!” “Calm down Jen. You worry way too much…” Alanna said as they pulled into the parking lot of a dress shop. “Do you know what colors you want for bridesmaid dresses?” Sarah asked. Jen thought for a moment, “Maybe green or purple?” “Well green would match most of the stuff in the wedding, so go with that. Alanna and I will go look for some green dresses and you go look for your dress.” Jen nodded and the group went their separate ways. After about a half hour Alanna and Sarah came back with a few dresses. When they saw Jen and the dress she was in, their jaws dropped. “You need to get that dress Jen.” Alanna told her and Sarah nodded enthusiastically. “Really Jen, it’s perfect. Don’t you dare try on another dress.” Jen smiled and nodded. “Ok. Can I see the dresses you found?” Sarah and Alanna held up a few dresses to allow Jen to look at them. “They all are quite pretty, but I have to say…” she trailed off with her eyes fixed on one dress. “That one, can you both go try it on?” The two girls nodded and went into the dressing room. A few minutes later they came out of the dressing room only to see Jen’s face lit up with happiness. “Girls, you both look gorgeous.” The dresses they had on were floor length. They were a sea green with the bodice weaved together, similar to a basket. Keith and Paul, the two groomsmen would adore the two of them dressed like this. Especially Keith since it was his favorite color. “I don’t care the price, those are your gowns. Let’s get this paid for so Sarah can go reunite with her love.” Sarah gave Jen a look as Alanna said, “Well, it’s true!” “Oh shush you two. If you hadn’t just spent the last few months on tour with them, wouldn’t you want to see them?” “You have a good pint Sarah. I would do the same thing. Sorry I dragged you away from him.” “It’s fine Jen. You needed my help. Don’t worry about it. And don’t you dare look innocent Alanna. We know you like Paul!” Alanna looked like a deer in headlights. “Wha…what are you talking about?” “Don’t act all innocent. I’ve known you for what? 10 years?” Jen replied with a laugh. Alanna glanced to the side. She was very shy, but truly a wonderful person. Her heart was in the right place and she never wanted to hurt anyone if she could help it. For Jen and Alanna who knew her so well, it was easy to see how much she liked Paul. She would really open up around him, which was great to see. “Fine,” she began, “I do like him. Probably since we first started helping them out. I figured nothing would come of it, that’s why I never mentioned it. I didn’t want to get my hopes up.” “Alanna,” Sarah began, “I have no idea why you would ever think that. You are such an amazing person. And you’re beautiful. Not to mention, I have caught Paul staring at you before.” Jen nodded in agreement as Alanna just looked towards the outside of the car, not wanting to accept the facet of what they were saying. She’s gotten her hopes up so often in the past, only to have them dashed over and over again, which is probably one of the reasons she can be so shy. Alanna spent the rest of the ride in thought as Sarah and Jen spent the ride discussing wedding plans until they reached Keith’s house. Sara got out, thanking Jen and planning the next day to work on wedding plans. Taking a deep breath, Sarah turned and walked towards Keith’s front door. She could feel the butterflies in her stomach. Why she was nervous she couldn’t tell. Maybe it was because she hadn’t seen him for so long. She knocked on his door. After a minute Keith answered the door, when he saw who was there a grin lit up his face. Inviting her in, Sarah walked in, and as soon as she did his arms were around her, tight, inviting and homely. Everything she had missed about this man. “I missed you…” he whispered, his stubble tickling her ear. He pulled her closer, never wanting to let go. Life was perfect again. At least, it was for them. After being away for so long, all they wanted to do was be near each other, and that was what they did.

The day of the wedding dawned bright and early. When Sarah first saw Jen that morning she looked so nervous, yet it was easy to see that she was excited. The morning dragged on for Jen, she wanted to get married so badly, but again so nervous for the wedding. Finally after a long amount of waiting, the church began filling up. The music began and the wedding started. Jen looked beautiful, her dress was an A-line dress with a tight bodice and long flowing gown. There were small flowers embroidered into the dress, and it was gorgeous. It was perfect for Jen. Alanna and Sarah also looked wonderful in their beautiful bridesmaid dresses. When Keith saw Sarah his jaw dropped, the last time he had seen her this dressed up was at their formal, back in their last year of high school. Paul was also in complete shock when he saw Alanna, though he tried not to show it in order to avoid questions. When Jen finally came out, Ryan’s face lit up. It was amazing what love did to a person. They both were positively glowing, eager to seal everything. The wedding went by without a hitch, which is surprising with Keith and Paul as groomsmen. Ryan and Jen were finally married, the first of their group to have a wedding after Celtic Thunder began. After saying congratulations to Ryan and Jen, Keith whispered to Sarah, “Come on, let’s get to the reception! Ryan said there would be Guinness!” Sarah shook her head in amusement, but they headed towards the car in order to go to the reception. Paul and Keith were slightly ahead of the girls, which allowed Sarah and Alanna some time to talk. “You know? I’m really glad we all came together so we can watch the lads enjoy their Guinness,” Alanna said. “Not to mention my house is right down the street so Keith can walk me home afterwards.” The girls had planned such a wonderful reception. You could see the happiness radiating from Jen and Ryan. The first dance was so adorable, it also allowed Keith to dance with Sarah, and even Paul and Alanna danced! When time came to cut the cake, it looked like Jen and Ryan would be nice about it, but as Jen was giving Ryan his cake, she smashed it into his face, causing Ryan to do the same thing back. The site was so comical, especially after all the guests received cake. Keith quickly finished his piece and went up for seconds. Paul was downing the Guinness, creating a hysterical view. When Keith got back to where Sarah, Alanna, and Paul were, Keith snuck up behind Paul and took part of his cake and smashed it into Paul’s face. “I’m gonna get you all!” Keith yelled as he ran from everyone in order to get more cake. Sarah and Alanna rolled their eyes as Paul got up unsteadily. Sarah prodded Alanna with her elbow and pointed to Paul who was trying to make his way towards the cake table. When he finally reached it he grabbed a few pieces and started to chase after Keith. He ended up passing Damian and Neil, throwing cake at them. “You didn’t!” Damian exclaimed as eh went to join the food fight. “Only with them…” Alanna whispered to Sarah. The food fight was in full swing as Ryan, Jen, Sarah, Alanna, George, Neil and Carrie went to the other room to hide from it. “Only Keith…” George began causing the others to laugh. “Thanks George,” Sarah replied through her laughter. “It figures that Keith would start this. We have the ‘young ones’ of the group starting it,” Ryan said. “But Ryan, you should have expected it,” Neil said, causing the others to laugh even harder. After a little while, things calmed down allowing them to go back in. Paul, Keith, and Damian were covered in cake, but there was some left for Jen and Ryan. “Well, this is a memorable wedding,” Jen said to Ryan as he nodded, grinning. “Why don’t you three get cleaned up…” The three walked off, finally calm. Maybe they got it out of their systems. A few more hours went by, the happy couple leaving for their honeymoon. Paul and Keith downed a few more Guinnesses and after a bit. Keith turned towards Sarah and asked, “You ready to go?” “I think so… let’s go.” They said good-bye to everyone and Keith took Sarah’s hand as they walked out, heading towards Sarah’s house. “So Keith, are we still on for this weekend?” Keith glanced around nervously before asking, “This weekend?” “Yeah… you know, our anniversary?” Shoot… Keith thought. Has it really been a year already? “Um… well I kinda made plans with Rosy…” “So you forgot?” “Uh…” Thankfully for Sarah, they had just reached her house. “Don’t try to explain right now Keith…” “Please Sarah…” he begged. “No Keith!” she yelled and walked into her house, slamming the door in his face.
