Ok so here's the start of part 2, hope you like it Alyson and Ryan had been busy planning the wedding these last few months since their wedding was going to be in September they still had a bit of work to do when they returned from tour, Alyson was about to go insane but somehow managed to keep her cool. They had just returned home from tour hoping to be able to relax, when Ryan had mentioned wanting to meet her family. Alyson had booked a flight back to the states again in a couple months time to visit her parents, this was their first time to visit her parents since Ryan and she being engaged and the last fall tour. Her parents loved him, how could they not though, being so charming and sweet. The weeks went by fast, Alyson was thankful for that because she just knew that if he was with her parents for too long that they would no doubt mention embarassing things from her childhood. “Good to be home again isn’t it?” Ryan says as they’re getting off the plane. “It certainly is,” Alyson agrees. “I sure hope my parents and my friends weren’t to overwhelming for you, I’m sorry if they were,” Alyson apoligises. “Aly, no worries, they were all lovely, just looking out for you,” Ryan tells her. Alyson felt a huge wait lift off her shoulders at that comment, she was sure that it would be a very intence interrogation by her dad not to mention all of her friends at the police department since she’d grown up aroud them her whole life. “That’s what I was afraid of, they can be a little bit too overprotective of me,” Alyson states. “Aly, that’s perfectly alright,”Ryan tells her. Ryan and Alyson reach the house both practicaly half dead from the long flight. They are both so tired that they fall into bed and are both fast asleep with in seconds. Morning comes and Alyson wakes up looks at her phone that has a missed call and text message both from Melanie, and realizes that today was the day that Melanie was flying over to help her with some of the wedding details and her plane would be landing in about an hour. “Shoot, I can’t believe I forgot about that,” Alyson wispers to herself. She gets in the shower and gets her hair fixed and make-up on going what seems like a hundred miles an hour. She comes out of the bathroom to find Ryan finally up at the kitcken table having a cup of tea. “What’s the rush honey?” he asks confused. “Melanie is arriving today and helping me with some final wedding details,” Alyson explains. “I see, will you still be up for the cinema tonight?” asks Ryan. “Of course, we’re probably going to do a wee bit of shopping while we’re in Belfast so I’ll be back about four thirty, if that’s alright,” replys Alyson. “Sure, I’ll see you when you get back,” Ryan says and gives her a kiss before she leaves.

Alyson goes to pick Melanie up at the airport. “Aly!” Melanie screams as she sees her best friend walking up to the terminal.
“Melie,” Alyson says as she gives her friend a warm hug. “Thanks so much for coming over and helping with this.”
“What kind of maid of honor would I be if I didn’t help the bride plan her wedding especially when it’s getting so close?”Melanie chuckles.
“Still thank you,” adds Alyson.
“Not a problem dear, so where to now,” Melanie asks.
“Well I told Ry we might do a little shopping and we might not be back till 4:30 or so,” Alyson states.
“Well what are we waiting here for shopping her we come,”Melanie laughs.
The girls head off to their shopping adventure and after a lilttle while he girls look at their watches, 3:30 came quickly. “Well I guess we better be off, if you told Ryan you’d be back,” Melanie says.
“Yeah, I guess we better,”Alyson agrees. They get in Alyson’s car and head back to Moy and Ryan and Aly’s house. Alyson and Melanie walk in a find Ryan sitting in the family room playing with Molly and Harry. “Ryan, we’re home,” she says walking through the entry way.
“Hey sweetie, hi there Melanie welcome back,” Ryan greets the two women.
“Hey Ryan thanks, good to be back,”replys Melanie.
“Melanie, hope you don’t mind but, Ryan and I are going out tonight,” Alyson says. “Help yourself to the fridge if you want or there’s a great little pub down the street,” she continues.
“Sounds great, I’ll see you two later,” Melanie says.
With that Ryan and Alyson are off to the cinema and dinner and Melanie walks down the street to the pub, hoping by chance to run into Keith but not getting her hopes up. The moment she walks in she feels instantly energized with live Irish music and the locals talking about love and life. She walks up to the bar and grabs a Guinness, before she knows it someone taps her on the shoulder, she turns around to see who this sranger was. “Keith, hey how are you?” she asks.
“I’m grand Melanie and yourself?” he casually asks. “Hey Sam I’ll take a Guinness as well,” he tells the bartender.
“I’m great, what are you doing here by the way?” asked Melanie innocently.
“Oh, just down here for the music festival that is going on this weekend, what brings you back?” Keith asks.
“Aly and Ryan’s wedding,” Melanie commented.

thanks for the comments and here's another peice.
“Ah, right but isn’t that next month,”Keith asks innocently.
“Only about two weeks actually, but if you know Alyson like I do, you’ll know that she needs all the help that she can get,” Melanie laughs. “Plus I’m maid of honor so it’s kind of my duty to help the bride.
“Oh, that makes sense then,” Keith comments. “How long will you be in Ireland for?
“I promised that I would stay till they were back from their honeymoon, so quite a while yet,” Melanie blushed. Melanie and Keith talked all night until Melanie realized what the time was and was off to Ryan’s house. “Laters Keith, talk to you soon,” she says.
“Later Melanie, see you soon,”Keith replied.
Melanie trys to seek past into the house, no such luck, Molly woke up which inturn woke Alyson up. “I take it you had a good time at the pub, being as it is midnight,” says Alyson.
“You could say that.I ran into Keith,” Melanie beemed.
“Oh, you ran into Keith, I want details later, but now I’m going back to bed,” states a tired yet intrigued Alyson.
“It wasn’t like that,”Melanie smirks.
“OK, yeah sure whatever you say,” sighs Alyson.
Melanie wakes up early to cook breakfast for Ryan and Alyson trying not to make to much noise to let the couple sleep in.
“Morning Mel,” Alyson says walking out of the bedroom.
“Good Morning Aly,” says a still excited Melanie. “I decided to make breakfast for you guys,”she adds.
“Melanie, I was going to do that, you didn’t have to,” states Alyson.
“I know, I felt like it tough since I’m putting you guys out,” replys Melanie.
“Honest Melanie, it’s not a problem,” reassures Alyson.
“Something smells good,” comments Ryan coming from the bedroom. “Morning ladies, ooh, who’s cooking?” Ryan asks.
“Melanie decided to cook us breakfast, isn’t that great,” says Alyson.
“It certainly is,” Ryan states.
Melanie’s phone rings, “Hello?”

“Melanie, hey it’s Keith I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today, Alyson told me that you have wanted to learn to play guitar,”Keith states.
“Oh really,” Melanie shoots Alyson an evil look. “Yes, that would be great, when did you have planned?” beems Melanie trying to hide her face from Alyson. Alyson giggles in the background, Melanie giving her another evil look that she gives when Alyson has a secret plan.
“I was actually think right about now, if that’s alright with you,” Keith replys.
“Sounds alright by me, see you in a bit, bye Keith,” says Melanie.
“Not like that huh,” remarks Alyson.
“Shut it Aly,” blushes Melanie. “Did I miss something here?” Ryan asks confused. “Mel ran into Keith last night and she said that it was nothing,” comments Alyson. Ryan just leaned on the kitchen island and laughed at the two girls talking. “So spill, what’s going on between you and Keith,”Alyson says trying to be demanding.
“Nothing,” Melanie trying to sound as innocent as possible, Alyson just shakes her head. “Well, you apparently told him that I wanted to learn guitar, and he’s going to give me lessons,” she continues.
“Oh yeah,” laughs Alyson. “I might have mentioned that so, when are you going to start?” questions Alyson.
There’s a knock at the door, “Right about now,” Melanie states with a huge grin on her face. “Aly, I hate to say this but, I owe ya one,” she laughs grabbing her things on her way out the door.
“Hey Keith, where are we going exactly?” Melanie asks Keith.
“That is for me to know and for you to find out when we get there,” Keith says with a mischevious grin. Keith and Melanie drive for a while when Melanie hears the ocean, “One of me favorite places,” he comments as they pull up.
“Wow, this is so beautiful,” Melanie replys.
“Breathtaking isn’t it, this is where I come to help me with my music, and where I surf,” Keith states.
“You surf?” Melanie inquires.
“Yeah, one of me favorite things,” he answers. “Why, do you?”
“I tried on a vacation one time, other than that no. Being from Missouri I really can’t considering the only water we have around is the Mississippi River,” she replys.
“Melanie, I would be glad to teach you when you have time,” Keith articulates.
“Really,” beems Melanie, “That sounds great,” she adds.

"Sure, whenever you like. But since we’re here for guitar lessons, have you ever played guitar before?” he asks.
“When I was like 6, with a little plastic one,” she answers. “Ah, well then it sounds like we’ve got some practice ahead of us then,” he comments.
Keith hands her a guitar and tells her to play around to see what happens, she starts strumming a tune that she has had in her head and has never left.
“Wow Mel, what was that?” Keith asks.
“It’s nothing, just a tune that has been in my head over the past few years. I have no clue where it came from, just notes that stuck,” she explains.
“Wow that is brilliant, for not playing in several years that’s great,” Keith says in amazement.
“You really think so, I couldn’t tell you what I played though,” blushes Melanie.
“Yeah that was great, would you mind if I tried and put some words with it,” Keith inquires.
Melanie blushed even deeper, “Of couse not, you can do whatever you like with it,” she beems. Her answer makes Keith smile like he had just received a new surfboard or guitar. The lessons continue into the early evening.
“Well I guess we should be heading back,” Keith says eventhough he never wanted the night to end, the ocean the music and Melanie.
“I guess so,” says Melanie looking at her watch. The two arrive back in Moy after a lovely ride through the Irish country side. “Mel, what are you doing tomorrow?” Keith asks.
“Nothing that I know of, did you have something planned?” replys Melanie.
“Well, I was thinking about maybe going surfing if you wanted to,” Keith states.
“That sounds great, guess I’ll see you tomorrow,” Melanie comments as they drive up to
Ryan’s house. “Well, Keith that was lovely, thank you for tonight I had a great time,” she adds.
“Me to Melanie, see you tomorrow,” he says before driving off.
Melanie walks in the house beeming from ear to ear. “Wow, who would have thought me and Keith Harkin, and surfing in Ireland. This is the best vacation ever,” Melanie comments to herself practically dancing in the foyer.
“Well, I see your day was grand,” says Alyson begining to get an Irish accent.
“Oh my God Aly, the only word I can even think to describe it, indescribeable, absolutely amazing,” Melanie beems.

thanks for the comments guys, glad you're enjoying the story.
The weeks go by with Melanie spending the mornings helping Alyson with the wedding and spending some of the afternoons and evenings with Keith. With all of the wedding planning finally finished Melanie gives Keith a call.
“Hello,”Keith answers.
“Keith, it’s Melanie, you have anything planned today,” she states
“Meli girl, not really, I thought that you girls still had planning to do though,” Keith comments.
“It just so happens that the final touches are done untill the actual day so,” she adds.
“That’s great, what did you have planned?” he asks.
“Well I was thinking that since it is such a gorgeous day we could go surfing,” she says with a slight giggle in her voice.
“Melanie, that sounds fantastic, I’ll come by and pick you up in a bit then,” he replys.
“Perfect, see you in a bit bye,” Melanie says as they hang up. "Aly, hope you don’t mind I’m going to hang with Keith today,” she tells her friend.
“Mel, of course not, everything is finished now thank God,” Aly states. “Now we just have to wait for the big day, Saturday,” she adds.
“Yeah, are you ready for it,” Melanie asks.
“Yes, more than ready and nervous as ever,”Alyson sighs.
“That’s normal don’t worry about it,” Melanie comforts her. “Well Keith’s here so see you later, love ya,” she continues.
“See ya later, have fun,” Alyson tells her.
“Don’t worry I’m sure I will,” Melanie replys as she walk out the door. “Keith!!!” she screams and jumps in his arms.
“Great to see you too Mel,” Keith laughs. “So, ready to try surfing again,” he adds.
“You bet, ready as I can be,” she replies. They drive out to the lovely Irish coast and get the boards off the top of the car. They run to the beach and dive into the cold Irish Sea. “AGH! Cold,” Melanie screams.
“Alright over there Meli girl,” Keith chuckles.
“Yeah, just a wee bit of a shock at first,” Melanie laughs. “Now let’s see if I remember how this goes,”she says. Melanie gets on her board paddles out into the water and trys to get to her feet in one motion, no such luck, wipe out. Keith swims over to her making sure that she is ok, “Melanie, you alright,” Keith asks.
“Yes, I’m fime, well looks like that I’m going to need more instruction than I thought,” Melanie answers. They head back to the beach to refresh Melanie’s surfing skills. Keith stands behind her with his arms wrappped around her waist helping her balance and giving her lessons on how to move with the board. Melanie doesn’t ever want this day to end and neither does Keith, the sun begins to set so they decide that it would probably be best to head back to the house after dinner at a very cute pub, in Derry.

“Keith, that was amazing, I’ve never had so much fun in my lilfe,” Melanie beems at Keith.
“I’m glad Melanie; I had wonderful time as well. Has anyone ever told you that you are such great craic to be around?” comments Keith.
“Aly has but, she’s like my sister so she has to say that,” laughs Melanie. “I forgot what exactly, does craic mean anyway, because it is obviously not what it means in America?” she asks.
“Aly’s never told you?” Keith asks. “Well, we use it as fun, like surfing is great craic, or ‘how’s the craic?’, is how’s it going,” he replys.
“Oh, I see, I’m going to have to use that more often,” says Melanie. “And see what looksi get from my friends back in Missouri,” she laughs.
“Well, Melanie I had a great time with you tonight, when will I see you again?” Keith asks walking her to the door.
“You are going to be at the wedding, right?” questions Melaine.
“Of course, how could I forget about the wedding,”answers Keith.
“I guess I will see you Saturday then, good night Keith” says Melanie.
“Goodnight Melanie, untill Saturday then,” Keith says giving her a kiss. Melanie walks in the house meeting with Alyson’s evil grin.
Aly and Ryan spying on the couple through a window looking out from the dining room, “Alright, I want details woman,” Aly states.
“What,” Melanie questions innocently.
“Don’t give me that, I-we seen you and Keith,” Aly replys with Ryan quietly laughing in the background.
“What you were spying on me,” Melanie laughs.
“Not on purpose, it just happened that…” Aly tries to say innocently, but bust out laughing.
“You are such a liar,” comments Melanie.
“I know, I’m just happy that you’ve found someone, that is such a sweet person,” Alyson tells her friend.
“Yeah, Keith is wonderful. So not like American men, so sensitive and charming,” Melanie agrees.
“Exactly, and they’re not as shallow as the lads in America, how else do you explain Ryan proposing to me,” comments Alyson
“Aly, shut up, you shouldn’t be downing yourself, you’re a beautiful person,” Melanie tells her friend. The girls are off to bed before the wedding festivities are in full swing.
The morning of the wedding arrives, Alyson’s family and friends arrive at the church including Lizzy and Jay. “Jay, Liz, I’m so glad that you could make it over for this, thanks for coming,” Alyson states.
“Aly, of course we made it, you’re one of our best friends, how could we not,” says Jay.
“You guys are awesome. Jay, would you find my parents and make sure that they’re not telling Ryan any embarrassing stories, and that goes for you as well,” adds Alyson.
“What, you think that we would do that you Alyson?” he asks.
“No, I know you people would do that to me,” she laughs.
“Aly, come on we’re not that evil are we,” Lizzy states innocently.
“Some days I wonder, by the way, has anyone seen Melanie?” asks Alyson.
“I thought I saw her with Keith a few minutes ago, I’ll go get her,” replys Lizzy.
“Liz, that would be great, that way we can get this wedding started,” comments Alyson. There is a faint knock on the door, “Come in,” answers Alyson. A woman walks in carrying a smally box with a card attatched to it

“Zara, hey how are you?” adds Alyson.
“Alyson, hey sweetie I’m fine, how are you?” replys Zara. “Ryan wanted me to give you this,” she adds, handing Alyson a smalll box with a beautiful bracelet inside.
“I’m grand, thank you Zara. Ready to get married that’s for sure,” answers Alyson
There’s a knock at the door. “I’ll get that,” Zara says opening the door to Melanie holding the bouquets.
“Aly babe, ready?” asks Melanie.
“Yes, more than ever,”she answers.
The girls walk down the asile, Ryan beeming like a little boy on Christmas morning at the sight of Alyson in her gorgeous gown and soft chocolate curls pulled back with a silver headband, and Keith beeming at Melanie as well, you would have thought by the looks in their eyes that it could have been a double wedding. They walk into the wedding reception arm in arm, Keith then heads to the bar with Ryan to get them and the girls drinks. “Ryan, can I get your advice in something?” asks Keith.
“Sure Keith, what’s up?” replys Ryan.
“Well, I was thinking about maybe asking Melanie out,” answers Keith.
“Honest mate, the way you two look at each other and talk about each other. Wait, I thought you two were already going out, haven’t you guys gone on dates?” Ryan asks confused.
“Well, we went surfing and I’ve been hanging out with her giving her guitar lessons,” answers Keith.
“That sounds close enough to me,” laughs Ryan. “Now go and ask her properly though,” he continues.
“Alright Ry, I’ll be back,” states Keith. Keith walks over to where Alyson and Melanie are standing and pulls Melanie aside. “Hey Melanie, I was wondering if you would like to be my girlfriend,” he asks.
“Keith!” Melanie squeeks and kisses him. “Of course I’d love to,”she says as he picks her up and spins her around. Keith and Melanie make their way to where Ryan and Alyson are talking with some of her friends that flew over for the wedding.
“Well I see that conversation went well,” states Ryan.
“Yes, very well,” Keith replys.

Alyson, wish you and Ry the best, I think Melanie and I are going for a quick walk, see you two in a little,” he adds.
“Alright see you in a bit Keith,” says Alyson. “Damian, hey how are you?” she states seeing him standing behind Keith.
“Alyson, I’m fantastic, just wanted to say congrats to you and Ryan, you two are so great together,” he tells her, forgeting she was in the middle of conversation with some of her friends.
“Oh my god, how rude of me, Damian I’d like you to meet some of my friends from across the pond, this is Meagan, Kristy, and Kristine,” Alyson introduces.
“Well, lovely to meet you lasses,” he states looking mainly toward Meagan. The rest of the night goes by with dancing, toasts, and loads of craic. Waiting for the oportune slow song, Damian heads over to the table where Meagan and Kristine are sitting. “Meagan, may I have this dance,” he asks. All Meagan could do is giggle shyly.
The night was an all out blast everyone had left the hall after giving the newlyweds their blessing. On their way home Ryan and Alyson are talking about plans for the next few days, “Ryan I was thinking, what about if we don’t do a honeymoon just yet, I mean, we’ll be going on tour in a few months and what if we just stay around Moy and have some time to relax here at home, since touring is so hectic,” says Alyson.
“Really, you would be okay with that?” questions Ryan.
“It doesn’t matter where we are, as long as I’m with you love,” replys Alyson.
“And that is why I love you Aly, your so well you,” smiles Ryan. They walk into their home and see that someone had left a message on the answering machine. Ryan listens to the message while Alyson is upstairs changing out of her dress. “Aly, some bad news sweethart, we apparently have rehersals for the tour starting day after tomorrow,” he continues.
“Ah, well, all part of the process of being a musical phenomonon I guess eh?,”sighs Alyson.
“I suppose so, but I was really hopeing for some quiet time with just you and me,” adds Ryan.
“Ryan, honey, it’ll be fine. Plus I’m sure that some of my friends would love to get a peek at rehersal and meet the lads,” replys Alyson. The couple heads off to bed and gets ready for their day off before their back into the touring season.
Morning comes and Alyson gives her friends Melanie and Meagan a call and has them meet her and Ryan at one of the cafes for breakfast, Melanie, ofcourse, brings Keith and to her surprise Meagan had called Damian and had him meet the other couples there.

Morning comes and Alyson gives her friends Melanie and Meagan a call and has them meet her at one of the cafes, Melanie, ofcourse, brings Keith and to her surprise Meagan had called Damian and had him meet the other couples there.
“Aly, what you have planned today?” Meagan asks.
“Well, Meagan my dear, shopping of course. I’m gonna need some new outfits for tour and lord knows I need fashion help, hence where you two come in.” Alyson answers. The girls are off shopping making it through all the little shops in the Moy, and are off to Belfast for a quick afternoon trip. “I thought you guys were leaving on you honeymoon later today,” Melanie states confused.
“We were, but we decided since the fall tour is coming up quick that we would hold off on the honeymoon, and just relax here in Moy for a bit,” answers Alyson. “Ah, that reminds me, rehersals are starting for the tour tomorrow, would you guys like to sit in,” she continues.
“DUH!, Aly, of course, and I can think of a couple of others who might like to as well,” answers Meagan, thinking of her friends Kristy and Kristine. The car ride home is nothing but Meagan giddy about seeing a rehersal and also getting to meet Damian again. “Kristy! Kristine!” Meagan yells as she runs into their hotel room that was rented for the wedding, “Guess what?” she sqeeks.
“What?” the girls asks.
“Were going to a tour rehersal tomorrow, Aly invited us,” Meagan giggles in excitement.
“Shut up, no way how sweet is that gonna be,” Kristy states. Needless to say there was no rest for the girls that night, they were so excited, Celtic Thunder is wast brought them together with each other and with Aly as a matter of fact. Well the morning comes and the girls are ready to go so they call Aly and aks her where they should go, she tells them the name of a performing arts venue. They meet her there and walk inside. They lads are all ready practicing coreography and laughing at each other trying to get the steps right.
“Lads, I like you to meet some more of my friends. This is Kristy Meagan and Kristine. Kristy, Meagan, Kristine, the lads of Celtic Thunder,” Alyson introduces.
“Oh, Aly, don’t worry we know who these lads are,” laughs Kristy noticing Paul looking at her and blushes.

Alright here's another update for ya, hope ya like it.
Kristy’s reply confuses the guys, Aly notices the bewildered look on the lads faces, “Don’t worry boyos, it’s a long story,” she laughs.
“Well we have time,” states Damian.
Alyson just sighs, “Alright,” she retells the story of what brought her to Ireland and cofesses about being a thunderhead with the rest of the girls and about them chatting in the pub and meeting up a few times. The guys try to keep from laughing, only slightly works though. The rehersal begins, running the show from the beginning, when it comes time for Jesse James, Sharon calls Alyson to come up and sing the song, the girls had seen Alyson in the previous tour dance for Zara, but they never knew that she had such a powerful voice, rehersals continue as usual.
The girls run to find Alyson after rehersal, “Wow, Aly we had no idea how great a voice you had, that was brilliant,” they comment.
Thanks guys,” says Alyson shyly.
“Aly!!” Damian yells. “That was amazing, I had no idea you had a voice like that it was fantastic,” he adds.
“Thanks D, it means a lot to me that you all think that,” Alyson answers. Changing the subject Alyson asks, “So, who wants to go out for lunch?” Everyone nods in agreement, and they all head out to grab a bite to eat, Damian walking hand in hand with Meagan and Kristy walkiong hand in hand with Paul. Kristine stays in back talking with Alyson and Ryan, when all of the sudden someone sneeks up behind Aly and scares the living daylights out of her, she turns around to see who it was. “Neil” she screams, “how many times do I have to tell you, don’t do that, you scared the heck out of me,” she adds.
“I know, but you have to admit from back here it was pretty funny,” Neil laughs.
“Yeah Neil, very funny, not,” state Alyson. “Oh, Neil, have you met my friend Kristine,” she continues as she and Ryan pull ahead, to let Neil and Kristine talk. They reach the restaraunt and are seated and the lads pull out the chairs for the girls.

The dinner goes by fairly uneventful, everyone chatting and having great craic reminisimg about the wedding and talking about the upcoming tour. Everyone heads out after a great dinner and conversation; the girls arrive back at their hotel still reliving the events of the day. “hey girls, wanna go shopping tomorrow, I was thinking about getting a wedding present for Aly and Ryan, and maybe something for Damo,” says Meagan.
“Meagan, that sounds like a great idea,” the other girls state. The girls are off to bed perparing for tomorrow’s shopping adventure.
The morning comes all the girls asleep when one of their phones goes off. “Hello?” Kristy answers.
“Hey Kristy, could tell Meagan that we want her at rehersal today?” asks Alyson. “Well, were getting ready to start, so talk to you all later,” she continues.
“Meagan, you’re never gonna guess what that was about,” beems Kristy.
“What?” Meagan aks intrigued
“Aly says that they want you at rehersals today,” replys Kristy.
Meagan is estatic and heads to the rehersals; she is met in the lobby by Sharon. “So glad you could make it Meagan, we want to run a few songs and would like you to run through Standing on the Corner, would you mind?” says Sharon.
“Sharon, of course I would love to, I’m so honored that you would ask me,” replys Meagan. They run through everything as planned, Damian and Meagan are having a blast and after rehersals are finished head out to grab a bite to eat and go shopping for a present for Ryan and Alyson.

alright so this post is a wee bit evil, Hope you all like it.
Several more weeks go by and the girls pop in to see rehersals a few more times and are thrilled to see Meagan and Alyson on stage having great craic. The tour is getting ready to start so before everyone goes their separate ways they set up a final dinner but with some surprising news for the girls.
Everyone is seated at the table, which happens to be right next to the dance floor, Ryan seated next to Aly, Kristy next to Paul, Kristine next to Neil, Meagan next to Damian, and Keith next to Melanie. After a fantastic meal, everyone decides to go to the dancefloor, except Melanie and Keith who decided to stay at the table and talk a little while longer. The couples out dancing turn to where they were sitting earlier to see Melanie practically tackle Keith in excitement and pull him out on the dancefloor. “Mel, what was that about?” asks Alyson. Melanie tries to explain but is speachless, so she holds up her left had to reveal an engagement ring.
Everyone is esctatic for the newly engaged couple, with one surprise out of the way the lads can’t keep their news in, “Well lasses, here’s to a wonderful night with some amazing girls,” Paul starts a toast.
“And to a night filled with surprises,” continues Neil.
“What are you guys talking about?” says Kristine as the girls look at each other somewhat confused.

K so i had to be evil again, sorry. hope ya'll like it, and let me know what ya think
“I hope you girls like traveling…” begins Damian, “Because you’re all coming on tour with us,” he beems.
The girls are speachless and run over and give their guys hugs. “Are you lads serious, we get to tour with you,” states Kristy.
“Yep, you all get to come with us,” replys Paul.
“YAY!” all the girls shout. Everyone packs for tour; they arrive at the terminal and head over to the states. The fight is great everyone talking about the tour and how exciting it will be when they get to help with the shows. The shows go beautifuly, Zara dancing as gracefull as ever and Meagan being a wonderful addition to the cast, and everyone still amazed at how powerful Alyson’s voice is. About two or so weeks into the tour comes Damian’s birthday. Before the show the lads and girls have a birthday dinner for Damian, “Hey Damian, I have a present for you”says Meagan.
“Meagan, you didn’t have to do that, you being here is a present enough for me,” replys Damian.
“You are to kind,” blushes Meagan,” I felt I had to get you something,” she says reaching into her jacket pocket to pull out a small jewelery box, he opens is to receive a sterling claddagh ring.
“Meagan, it’s beautiful, much like the girl who gave it,” Damian answers, Meagan beems back at him as he kisses her on the forehead.
“Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news boyos but it’s almost concert time,” says George. Everyone heads back to the venue and the show goes fantastic there were no M &G’s that night so it was a fairly early night back to the hotel. Ryan and Alyson head off for a moonlight stroll in the local park.
“Ryan, have I told you lately that you’re awesome,” comments Alyson.
“Hmmmm, yeah, I think a few times,” laughs Ryan.
“Well I figure there’s no harm in letting you know over and over,” replys Alyson. “Oh, by the way I have some news for you,” she continues.
“What’s that love,” asks Ryan.
“That is for me to know and you to find out….later,” Alyson relpys and starts off running towards the hotel. “And first you have to catch me,” she laughs. Ryan still a little in shock about what just happened and after giving her a small headstart, takes off after her.

You all have another update, hope you all enjoy
Alyson runs into the lobby where she is met by Kristy, Paul, Kristine and Neil. “Woha, Aly what’s up?” asks Kristine.
“Well Ryan and I were going for a little walk in the park and I told him I had news and then said that he has to catch me to find out what it is, so try and stall him when you see him coming at least untill I get up to the room,” explains Alyson.
“OK, what’s the news?” they ask.
“You’ll find out soon enough,” says Alyson as she is off to the elevator tgo to the floor that CT is on.
Just after the elevator door shuts Ryan enters the lobby, “Hey guys, has Alyson been by here?” asks Ryan.
“Yeah, you just missed her, she’s heading up to the rooms,” says Neil.
“She didn’t happen to tell you all the news did she?” questions Ryan.
“No, sorry mate, if it’s any help to ye, it sounds like good news,” answers Paul.
“Thanks Paul, well I think I’m going up to the room, night, talk to you all tomorrow,” says Ryan making his way to the elevator.
“Well I must say, that was odd,” states Paul.
“Yeah, now Aly has me curious now, I wonder what her news is,” says Kristy.
“I have a brilliant idea,” states Kristine.
“Ok, I’m scared now,” Kristy states.
“Haha, Kristy. But seriously, what about we listen outside the door,” replys Kristine.
“Kristine, you know that’s not a bad idea. Let’s go,” answers Paul. They head up to their floor and listening intently outside Aly’s room, but the idea doesn’t go quite as planned, Paul is unable to keep quite for to long and makes noise. Ryan here’s something outside the door and heads to open it to find the four of them siting in the hallway, looking innocent.
“Ahem, and might I ask what you four are doing out here,”comments Ryan.
“Well you see, it was all Paul’s idea,” answers Kristy.
“What?” replys Paul, “it was so not, I wasn’t the one who just HAD to hear Alyson’s news,” states Paul matter of factly.
“Oh, so that’s what this is about eh?” inquires Ryan. “Aly love, would you mind coming here for a second,” he continues.
“Yes Ry,” Aly state, looking out in the hallway and starts laughing. “What is this all about,” she laughs.
“They want to hear the news that you have,” answers Ryan.
“Oh, I guess I was kind of mean leaving you all hanging huh,” laughs Aly. “Well, Ryan and I are estatic to share with you that, there will be a new addition to the Celtic Thunder family, I just found out that I’m pregnant,” she beems.
