Welcome To Paradise, chapter 2
It was Thursday, the day before the wedding and Rai was a little more than excited.
"I fought the law and the law won! I fought the law and the law won! I miss my baby and I miss my fun!" she sang, while rummaging through her closet.
Billie walked through the door and stopped, leaning against the doorframe, grinning like a fool.
"Excited?" he finally asked.
Rai jumped, and turned around.
"Holy shit! You scared the shit outta me!"
Billie chuckled.
"And yes! I'm excited!" Rai finished.
"Yea, it's gonna be awesome. But, I still kinda feel bad for Tre." said Billie.
"What? Why?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"Um. Apparently not." Said Rai, with a confused _expression.
"You don't remember that summer when we all hung out? When we first met?"
"Yea." replied Rai, slowly.
"They were like inseparable."
"Billie... are you telling me that Tre likes Danelle?"
"I dunno. I always just kinda assumed it. He acts like it."
"Holy... shit... why didn't you tell me?!"
"What? I can't believe I was the only one that saw it! And I'm a guy!"
Rai stared at him blankly. "You are?"
"Fuck off."

Tre was in his room, sitting on his bed staring at the phone. He'd been in this position for about half an hour. So many thoughts were flying through his mind.
'Why couldn't I just tell her when I had the chance?'
He thought to himself. His mind has been set on the same subject this whole time. Danelle.
'This is insane. She's so much younger than me. But, she and I have so much in common. Wait, since when did age matter to me? Besides, Rai and Billie have a huge age difference, and they're happy.'
He tugged on his hair in frustration, and sighed.
"Shut the fuck up, brain!" he yelled to himself.
He needed to get a grip... fast.

"Hey Jo, check out this dress!" yelled Danelle.
Her friend JoAnna came walking up to her, staring thoughtfully at the dress she was pointing out. After having no luck from the previous day, they decided to hit the shops again, looking for her perfect dress.
"I like it. It's simple... yet....not. It's awesome."
"Yea. I like the color the best."
"You just like it cause it's green for Green Day." smiled JoAnna.
Danelle grinned and took the dress from the rack laying it over her arm, heading for the dressing room.
"I'm gonna try this on. I'll call you when I'm done so you can tell me what you think."
JoAnna waved her off and continued looking at the selections of dresses in the small boutique. Danelle hung the dress on the hook behind the door, about to take off her shirt when she heard her phone start to ring.
'Awkward place to talk on the phone.' she thought. She dug through her purse, her fingers finally embracing her cell. When she pulled it out, she was a bit surprised to see the name that flashed across the front screen.
Tre.
"Hello?" answered Danelle.
"Uh. Hey Danelle. How are you?"
"Hey Tre! I'm doing great. How about yourself?"
"Um. I'm doing fine. Listen, are you busy?"
"Heh. Uh... actually I'm looking for my wedding dress right now."
"Hey Danelle! I found a dress for you! Catch it while I throw it over the door!" JoAnna, interjected. A little louder than necessary.
"Are you in the dressing room?" asked Tre.
Danelle bit her lip, trying to refrain from laughing. "Yea, actually I am."
"Are you by any chance... uh...naked?"
"TRE!"
"Heh. I'm just kidding." laughed Tre, nervously.
Danelle giggled. "Okay Tre, well I have to get going. But will you be able to make it to my wedding? It wouldn't be the same without you. Not to mention the reception would probably suck."
Tre laughed, "Um. Yea, I'll definitely be there."
"Sweet. Well I'll see you soon. Tell Ramona and Frankito I said hi. Oh and Mike, Jase, and Billie of course."
"Sure. No problem."
"Okay Tre. Bye."
"Bye Danelle- Oh wait!"
"Yea?"
"Uh... good luck with your dress shopping... and have a nice day."
Danelle laughed, "Okay Tre. Thanks, and I hope you have a nice day too."
Danelle hung up her phone and threw it back in her purse, finally being able to try the dress on. Ah yes, the dress. It was a perfect fit and it looked stunning on her. She walked out of the stall and did a little twirl for JoAnna as she watched, gasping.
"Danelle, that looks amazing on you!"
"It does, doesn't it?" smiled Danelle.
"You should definitely take that one! Jakob's gonna go crazy when he see's you in it!"
Danelle grinned, feeling her heart skip a beat at the sudden mention of his name. She loved him dearly, and had no doubt in her mind of marrying him. Although, she couldn't help but feel something was going on with Tre. I mean, he was acting weird. But then again, it IS Tre. she shrugged it off as she handed her credit card over to the cashier. At this point, she was certain about one thing. And that was her excitement of getting married the next day.
"I fought the law and the law won! I fought the law and the law won! I miss my baby and I miss my fun!" she sang, while rummaging through her closet.
