Monday : June 2nd, 2003

Now that the weekend is over and it's the start of a new week, this morning Debbie woke up early to get her day started. As she walked down the stairs entering the kitchen, there sat Carla drinking
some coffee and reading the morning paper.

"Morning mom." Debbie Said

"Morning hun, so what's the plans for today?" Carla Said

"Um nothing much, Val and I are supposed to head over to Jim's later on. Michelle wants us to meet her sister and she has something important to tell me." Debbie Replied, as she poured herself a cup of coffee.

"So I meant to ask this have you heard back from any jobs lately?" Carla Asked

"Well no I had two job interviews last week, but I don't know if I made a good impression." Debbie Said

"Don't say that I'm sure you did the best you could." Carla Said

"Hope so but I'm just hoping I could land a job soon." Debbie Said

"Debbie don't worry you'll land a job, you just graduated college a week ago don't stress it hun." Carla Said

Debbie shrugged then took a sip of her coffee and made her way towards the table.

"Mom can I ask you something." Debbie Said

"Sure what's up." Carla Said

"How is that your so okay with being around dad, considering he's your ex husband...I mean how do you do it without wanting to rip him to shreds?" Debbie Asked, as Carla lets out a little laugh.

"Let me guess Steven." Carla Said

"Oh yeah, Jim invited him to the wedding only because Steve is teaching him how to do dance." Debbie Said, sighing.

"I didn't know Steve was good dancer." Carla Said

"Mhm his mother used to force him to attend cotillion, and he's not a bad dancer actually.." Debbie Said

"I bet now back to the whole wanting to rip your ex to shreds part." Carla Said

"Right so with Steve being apart of the wedding, I'm feeling so many..feelings." Debbie Said

"Like what exactly?" Carla Questioned

"Like whenever I see him..all this anger takes over, and I just want to slap his stupid face. How did you deal with being broken up with Dad?" Debbie Asked

"See it wasn't as easy as it seems with your dad, there was plenty of arguments that we didn't have in front of you guys. But when we separated and the more we learned to coexist...it became easy." Carla Said

"How?" Debbie Asked

"I guess I just learned to let him go and realize that what we had was special, but it's not there anymore.
Sometimes you've just got to learn to let go and move on, and eventually you'll feel better." Carla Said

"But Mom I've moved on." Debbie Said, as Carla raised a brow.

"Have you truly moved on Debbie...are you still in love with Steve?" Carla Questioned

Debbie sat in silence for a moment and thought, she thought about all the good times that they've shared.
But she couldn't help but think back to that day she received that letter he sent her, telling her that he wanted to end things.

"No. Pfft come on mom I'm totally over that Jerk." Debbie Said, slightly laughing.

Carla looked at her daughter and half smiled, she wanted to believe her but couldn't tell if she was being genuine.

"Okay, whatever you say Debs." Carla Said, then picks up her mug and finishes her coffee.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Later on Debbie picked Valerie up from her new job downtown, the two of them then went over to Jim's where Michelle was waiting for them.

As Jim was sitting at the kitchen table writing something down, the back door opened as Valerie and Debbie walked through.

"Hello, knock knock." Debbie Said

"Hey, guys." Jim Smiled

"Hey, Jimmy where's your fiancé?" Valerie Asked

"Oh she in the dining room with her sister Cadence." Jim Said

"Oh okay, wait what are you writing?" Debbie Asked

Jim looks over near the dining room to see if the doors open.

"It's my vows, I wanted to start off early with writing them and so far they sound good..I hope." Jim Said

"Would you like us to be sure?" Debbie Asked

"Yes, please." Jim Said

Debbie picks up the paper then she and Valerie reads a few lines from Jim's vows, and they both look over at him with smiles.

"So what do you think? Is it too much?" Jim Asked

"No Jim, it's sweet." Valerie Said

"Very sweet..Michelle is going to love it." Debbie Said

"Cool, aw thanks guys." Jim Said

The dining room door opens as Michelle stood out and walks into the kitchen.

"Debs, Val there you are." Michelle Said, as she hugs them both.

"Sorry we were just talking to your fiancée." Debbie Said

"Oh, well come with me we need to talk. Later sweetie." Michelle Said

"Have fun." Jim Said

Michelle leads them the two of them into the dining room, as they head inside there sat a beautiful blonde girl on the couch and smiled over at them.

"Guys meet my younger sister Cadence, sis these are my two good friends Debbie and Valerie." Michelle Greeted

Cadence stood up and shook hands with both of the girls as they all introduced themselves.

"It's so nice to finally meet you guys, Michelle's told me so much." Cadence Said

"Likewise, so how was your flight?" Valerie Asked

"Good but I'm just happy I'm back home, I could use a break from college but lucky for you guys your all done with it." Cadence Said

"Thank god I couldn't wait for it to be over, so Michelle what's so important you wanted to tell us?" Debbie Asked

"Right, right Um okay so I've been thinking about this all morning of how I was going to ask you all so here goes. I would love for you all to be my bridesmaids." Michelle Said, as all three of them smiled.

"Of course sis." Cadence Said, then hugged Michelle.

"Oh I've always wanted to be a bridesmaid." Debbie Said

"Same it would be my honor." Valerie Said

"Well that's great I'm so happy your all on board, now there's another thing I went over this with Jim already and he's okay. Now who's up for the job of planning a bachelorette party for me?" Michelle Said

"Ooh me I call dibs!" Debbie Exclaimed, raising her hand.

"Oh oh okay." Michelle Said

"Wait are you sure you're up for this Debs?" Valerie Asked

"Yes I love parties and planning them, sure I've never planned a bachelorette party but it's my first so why not plus you guys can help." Debbie Said, looking between Cadence and Valerie.

"I'd love to help." Cadence Said

"Come on Val, it'll be fun I promise." Debbie Said, smiling to the brunette.

"And I want this bachelorette party to be a showstopper so blow me away." Michelle Said

"Oh don't worry I'll blow your world." Debbie Said, sending a wink at her.

Meanwhile back in the kitchen Jim is still over looking his vows, the front door opened as Stifler burst through making his way towards the kitchen.

"Dickhead. Do not send shit to my office at school." Stifler Said

"Hey, Stifler, why don't you come in and make yourself comfortable?" Jim Said

"Your letter made a great impression on Coach Marshall when he read it. Let me refresh your memory, partner." He opens up the paper,
"Dear Steve, I will be forever in your debt if you teach me to dance like you did in the gay bar."

"I put serious thought into that letter." Jim Replied

"Don't push me, 'cause I'm close to the edge. I'm trying not to lose my head." Steve Said

He crumbled up the note then threw it over at Jim, as he was on his way out the house Steve stopped in his tracks. He backed up peaking into the room, and saw Cadence wearing nothing but just her bra and underwear in the dining room.

"These are really nice for a bridesmaid dress. At
least something you can actually wear again.
You guys don't think it's too sexy, do you?"
Cadence Said

"No." Michelle Said

"I mean, I don't want to seem slutty or anything. I'm trying to attract a decent guy here." Cadence Said

"It's a wedding. They'll all be decent guys." Debbie Said

"I just don't feel quite like a virgin in it." Cadence Said

"Oh your a virgin?" Valerie Said

"Yeah, it's not weird or anything right?" Cadence Questioned

"No." They all said in unison

"Look it's your choice remember that." Michelle Said

"She's right just do it whenever your ready." Valerie Said

"Trust me I'm ready." Cadence Said, slightly chuckling.

Steve let's out a little gasp but quickly moves away from the door before anyone can see him.

"Who's that?" Debbie Asked

"I don't know." Michelle Said

Michelle walks towards the door looking out in the hall, she sees no one is there then closes it right behind her.

Tuesday : June 3rd, 2003

The next day Paul and Kevin decided to have brunch and invited Debbie and Cadence along. The two girls entered the restaurant, as the two boys were sitting at the table.

"Afternoon fellas." Debbie Said, with a smile.

"Hey Debbie." Kevin Said

"Ladies." Paul Replied

"Guys I'd like you to meet Michelle's younger sister Cadence, Cadence this Kevin Myers and-" Debbie Said

"We've met already it's okay, Cadence." Paul Said, sending her a smile.

"Nice to meet you again Paul." Cadence Replied

"I'm here to by the way, nice to meet you." Kevin Said, lending out his hand which she shook.

"Likewise." Cadence Said

As she and Debbie went to go sit down at the table, Paul stood to his feet and pulled out the chair for her to sit down.

"Oh so chivalrous of you." Cadence Said

"Your welcome." Paul Said

"I've known that kid for years and he's never done that for me." Debbie Said, leaning over to Kevin who shook his head laughing.

A few minutes later the four of them are still sitting at the table with their food, as Cadence brings up college.

"So, you guys have to be psyched to be done with college. I mean, I swear, I'm running out of room in my brain for everything." Cadence Said

"Oh don't worry that feeling never stops." Debbie Said

"There's always room for Plato and Aristotle." Paul Piped up

"Some of my favorites." She smiled, "Excuse me, guys." Cadence Said, then got up to leave for the bathroom.

"Finch, she thinks you were being sarcastic." Kevin Said

"But I wasn't Kevin." Paul Said

Once Cadence was finished using the bathroom, on her way out she sees what appears to be Stifler helping out an elderly man.

"Okay. It's so good to see you. You want some help? Here, let me help you out there." Stifler Said, helping him stand.

"Thank you son." He Said

"No it's all good there you go, you keep fighting the good fight, sir." Stifler Said

"You have a good day." He Smiled, before leaving the restaurant.

Cadence walks over to Stifler and taps him on the shoulder, "That was really sweet of you."

"Yeah. I love old people, you know?" Stifler Said

"Mhm me too." Cadence Said

"Hey, I hate to be nosy and impolite, but do you know Jim Levenstein and Michelle Flaherty?" Stifler Asked

"Yeah." Cadence Said

"Are they here?" Stifler Asked

"Well, I'm Cadence, Michelle's sister." She Replied, as they shook hands.

"I had no idea. I'm their good friend, Steven." He Said

"Nice to meet you." Cadence Smiled

"Yeah, you, too." Stifler Said

"Well, they're around town doing some wedding stuff." Cadence mentioned

"That's cool." Stifler nodded

"But there's still a few of us in the other room if you want to join us." Cadence Said

"Oh I don't know you look so nice, I feel underdressed." Stifler Said

"Well, I think you look great." Cadence Said

"Thank you." Stifler Smiled

Back in the other room with Debbie, Kevin and Paul soon Mary Flaherty and Claire Levenstien entered to greet them.

"Here they are, hey kids." Claire Said

"Hello Mary and Claire." Debbie Greeted, standing up hug them.

"Hello Dear, Hi, boys. Don't stand up. The dads aren't here yet?" Mary Said

"I'll go find them." Claire Said, before walking off.

"Now which one of you is the best man?" Mary Asked

"Jim didn't pick just one. Or I mean, he couldn't decide." Kevin Said

"Hey, Paul. Hey, Kevin and Hey Debbie." Stifler Said, smiling at them.

The three of them all stared at Stifler with wide eyes, Debbie couldn't help but look at what he was wearing which was nothing he would ever wear.

"Mom, I want you to meet Steven he's friends of Jim's and mine and everyone's." Cadence Said

"You look very familiar, Steven." Mary Said, lending her hand out which he shook.

"Really? I'm afraid we've never met." Stifler Said

"Well, we have now." Mary Said

"Oh looks like you found Samantha's Sweets." He looked down at the small bag she's holding, "Isn't their chocolate just to die for?" Stifler Said, as he and Mary chuckled.

"You have no idea." Mary Said

"Actually, I do." Stifler Said

"I love chocolate more than-" Mary Said

"More than life itself!" Stifler Continued

Debbie looked over at Kevin and Paul who remained speechless, the blonde couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"What the fuck is going on.." Debbie mumbles

"What was that hun?" Mary Asked

"Oh I didn't say anything, what were you going to tell Kevin and Paul before Sti-I mean Steven joined us." Debbie Said

"Right I was just saying to your friends I have something very precious here." Mary Said

"What is it?" Stifler Asked

"Michelle's grandmother's, my mother's, wedding ring." Mary Said, opening the box showing the beautiful ring inside.

"That's very beautiful, she's going to love it." Debbie Said

"I know." Mary Said, smiling.

"Isn't that precious?" Stifler Said

"But since all of you are the best man, I don't know who should hold onto it." Mary Said, holding out the ring.

"I think it's best if I-" Paul Said, reaching out to take the ring but Stifler stops him.

"Oh I think you should get to know us first and then decide." Stifler suggested, then Mary closed the ring putting it away.

"You are such a gentleman, Steve." Mary Said

"I hear that all the time, but it never gets old." Stifler Said, as Debbie, Kevin and Paul rolled their eyes.

"Hey, Paul, do you have a camera?" Stifler Said, moving closer towards Cadence.

"How thoughtful." Mary Said

"Sure I'd love a picture." Cadence Said, as Stifler makes faces at her without her knowing.

"I must've forgotten my camera at home, Steven." Paul Said

"Maybe you could take, like, a mental note." Stifler Said, as they all laughed.

"I won't forget this moment." Paul Said

"I'll bet you won't." Stifler Said

"Okay Debbie, Cadence I'm glad you girls are here you can join me along to meet Michelle and picks out her flowers for the wedding." Mary Said

"I would love to come." Debbie Said

"Would you care to join us, Steven?" Mary Asked, as Debbie looked to him shaking her head.

"I'd love to. Thank you come on Debs it'll be fun."Stifler Smiled, putting his arm over Debbie as she faked a smile.

"Great." Debbie Said, lamely.

"Good to see you fellows." Mary Said, as she walked towards the exit.

"Later guys." Cadence Said, waving as she followed behind her mother.

"Okay," She slapped his arm off her, "Get your hands off me asshole." Debbie Said

"Ow! That's not how a lady should be talking Deborah." Stifler Said, pointing at her.

"Whatever Steve." Debbie Said, as she rolled her eyes at him following behind Cadence.

Stifler smirked at as he watched her leave then looked back at Kevin and Paul smirking, making crotch chops at them then walked outside to join them.

A couple minutes later Michelle and Jim walked into the flower shop, and spotted her mother, sister, Debbie along with Stifler near their flowers.

"Oh amazing." Stifler Said

"What the hell is he doing near my flowers?" Michelle Gasped

"I love the way the tulips accentuate the..what do you call those again, sir?" Stifler Asked

"Double Lisianthus." The man replied

"Lisianthus." Mary Said

"Double Lisianthums what a pretty name." Stifler Said

Steve glanced over at Cadence who sent him a smile, Debbie sees the two smiling at each other so she rolls her eyes in annoyance.

"This can't be happening.." Debbie mumbled, shaking her head.

"Jim what's he doing here?" Michelle Asked

"I told him to be nice, or he couldn't come to the wedding. Okay, I will take care of this I will take
care of this." Jim assured, as Michelle looked at him worriedly.

"Hey, James." Stifler Said, waving at him.

"Jim, Michelle your here great, come on over. You can see if I forgot anything. I don't think I..." Mary Said

"Come over, we're having a great time." Stifler Said

Michelle walked over to the table where everyone is, Mary starts going over the flower samples with the girls as Stifler started dancing and goofing off behind their backs.

"I think I've got it all. Look, look, look. Sahara and desert rose for Your bridesmaids' bouquet." Mary Said, as the three girls sniffed the flowers.

"Mhmm." Cadence and Debbie Said

"Ooh I love that." Michelle Said

"Give me that. Smell this." Mary Said, as Stifler stopped goofing off and smelled the rose.

"It's fantastic." Stifler Replied, as Mary nodded.

"Fantastic and...Oh, oh, oh look at this!" She makes them sniff another rose, "Let's go look at the candelabrum, honey. I think with the summer blossoms it'll look perfect, bye dear." Mary Said, as she booped Stifler on the nose.

"Thank you for everything." Stifler Said

"What'd you think, girls? Isn't this adorable?" Mary Said, as she and the girls walked further down the aisle.

"Bye, Cadence." Stifler Said, then Jim approached him.

"Okay, I know what you're doing. Look, have you seen yourself? I can't believe you're doing this, Stifler." Jim Said

"Just calm down, dude. It's all set." Stifler Assured

"What's set?" Jim Asked

"I'm gonna teach you to dance like a Baryshninikov." Stifler Said

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Later on that day after spending a morning with The Flaherty's and Stifler, Debbie headed back home to relax for a bit. In the living room she was busy writing something in her journal, as the door opened and entered Kelly.

"Anybody home?" Kelly called out

"In here." Debbie Said

Kelly walked towards the back and entered the living room, where Debbie is sitting on the couch watching Television.

"Hey, where's Mom and Sam?" Kelly Asked

"Mom's still at work and Sam went over to the park to play with his friends." Debbie Said

"Oh. Okay." Kelly Said, then sat down on the couch.

"Hey, how was apartment hunting with Daniel?" Debbie Asked

"It went very well we just found the place." Kelly Said

"Really? What's it look like?" Debbie Asked

"It's downtown perfect view, the apartment is on the third floor not to high. Two bedroom two bathroom, oh Debs it's just right for us I can see us growing together until eventually we find our forever home one day." Kelly Said

"Wow look at you guys already found your place, aren't you and Dan the perfect couple." Debbie Said

"Come on you know there's no such thing as "perfect couple" Dan and I just make sense. And that's why we were meant to be." Kelly Said

"Aw I miss that feeling of just having someone." Debbie Said

"Oh don't worry baby sis, it'll happen again for you." Kelly Said

"Hopefully one day," She chuckles, "Heh maybe I'll find a date just in time for the wedding." Debbie Said

"You want me to help set you up, Dan's got some cute friends I could-" Kelly Said

"Oh no, no the last time I went out with one of Dan's friends, he turned into a stage 5 clinger after the third date no thanks I'll find my own date." Debbie Said

"Geez just trying to help and by the way Max just gets attached to quickly." Kelly Said

"Still could have warned me next time." Debbie Said

"I will, so what's up with the journal?" Kelly Questioned

"Oh I'm planning Michelle a bachelorette party." Debbie Said

"Ooh count me in, what do you got so far?" Kelly Asked

"Well I've got everything we need, music, food, guests, decorations, game ideas, a location but now all we need are.." Debbie Said, pointing her pin to the last thing on the list.

"Ah Strippers." Kelly Said, smirking as Debbie nodded her head.

"I know.." Debbie Said

"Why is this so hard for you, it's not that hard to get Strippers." Kelly Said

"Well it's hard for me...where the hell am I going to find strippers.." Debbie Said

"Wait didn't you guys just head over to a gay bar while in Chicago?" Kelly Pointed out, as Debbie quickly came into an idea.

Over at the high school Jim and Stifler are seen in the gymnasium. Music is playing in the background as Stifler talks to Jim.

"Observe the fucking Stifmeister, now what is his defining characteristic?" He Said

"He uses the "F" word excessively." Jim Retorted

"Thanks, man. But I also have confidence you're one big floppy cock. Look at you, you got to stand like a man." He takes Jim's hand and gets into position,
"Your posture tells your partner where to go." Stifler Said

"Okay." Jim Said

"Okay follow my lead this is the waltz." Stifler Said, as they began dancing.

"Waltz? Okay. Waltz. Okay that's pretty good." Jim Said

"You're fucking right it's good. I'm gonna save your ass in this wedding. Pretty soon you're gonna want me to shave your balls." Stifler Said

"Should I shave my balls? Do you shave your balls? How do you do it?" Jim Asked, as Stifler gave him a look.

"Dude! No." Stifler Shook his head

"I'm just...shaving...never mind." Jim exasperated

As the two went back dancing the sound of clapping is heard, Stifler and Jim quickly break away as they see Debbie entering the gym smiling.

"Wow now that was great." Debbie Said, clapping her hands.

"Debbie?" Jim Said

"The fuck are you doing here?" Stifler Asked

"Oh don't mind me keep going I want to remember this forever." Debbie Said, smirking.

Stifler walked over to the radio and turned it off, and glared at the blonde.

"How'd you know we were here?" Stifler Asked

"Michelle told me where Jim was so I came here, don't worry I'm not going to tell anyone." Debbie Said

"Oh thanks please don't." His phone starts ringing, the caller ID reads his dad, "Damn it I gotta take this it's my dad." Jim Said

"Where the fuck are you going?" Stifler Asked

"It's my dad it's probably important I'll be back." Jim Said, as he walked out the gym.

"So what brings you by Debs?" Stifler Asked

"Well I to be honest I was looking for you, I..need your help with something." Debbie Said, as Stifler looked at her with a smirk.

"Oh well Debbie you know I'd be happy to-" Stifler Said

"No, no, no I wasn't talking about that god no." Debbie Said

"Oh, then what do you want from me?" Stifler Asked

"I need the number that your friend Bear gave you, you see I'm throwing Michelle a bachelorette party. And I was hoping that since Bear is very well known and liked in Chicago he might know some..Strippers." Debbie Said

Stifler stared at her for a moment then bursts out into laughter, Debbie rolled her eyes at the boy.

"What's so funny?" Debbie Questioned

"Nothing it's just I wouldn't take you to be the one to look for strippers Debbie that's all." Stifler Said

"Why Strippers are fun especially male strippers, and all I want is Michelle and company to have a great time so would you please give his number?" Debbie Said

Stifler pulled out a pen from his pocket, then grabbed her hand and started writing on it.

"What are you doing?" Debbie Asked

"I'm giving you his number, besides I have to call him as well." Stifler Said

"For.." Debbie Said

"I'm throwing Jim a bachelor party this weekend as well, and it's gonna be awesome we're gonna have all the tits and ass you can imagine." Stifler Said

"Hm better hope none of the strippers have anything contagious, don't wanna get sick right before the wedding..who knows Finch might step in and take your place." Debbie Said, as Stifler scoffed.

"Yeah, right like Finch stands a chance with Cadence." Stifler Said

"Who knows he might, it's not like Paul has to put on this facade to impress Cadence." Debbie Said

"So what it's working she's into me I know it." Stifler Said

"Yeah only because your pretending to be this nice guy, when we all know how you really are." Debbie Said

"Well I guess she won't know that then." Stifler Said

Debbie raised her eyebrows and nodded her head slowly, "Wow your really good at pretending to get with a girl you just met. But you couldn't be honest whenever it came to me.."

She looked at him disappointedly as Stifler looked at her almost sadly, she looked at the ground as he slowly moved closer towards her.

"Debbie.." Stifler Sighed

"No it's okay, I came for what I need I'm ju-just gonna go..I'll see you around, bye." Debbie Said, as she turned to leave as he watched her on letting out a frustrated sigh.
