Party Time

Halle and Dean arrive at their hotel.  They relax for a while, then get dressed and make their way to the party.

 

There are about 50 guests, the music is booming and the lights are low.  The Waverly and Gilbert's occupy the 2 tables in the corner.  Dinner has already been served.

 

Dean's been working the room and finally takes a seat.

 

Halle- "I'm so proud of you."

Dean smiles- "Thanks babe."

She kisses him.

Olivia and her boyfriend, Landon, enjoy themselves.

Miles dances with his daughter, Delilah.

(*Quick update: Delilah has been looking for a job since her graduation, but hasn't had any luck.)

Brandy strikes up a conversation with Naava (Dean's mother).

(*Side note: Halle and Brandy have avoided talking to each other.)

Halle, Dean, Olivia and Landon join Miles and Delilah on the dance floor!

 

 

Much Later...

 

Olivia- "I miss our lunches."

Halle- "Me too.  Do you think the girls would want to get back to it?"

Olivia- "I hope so."

Brandy- "Oh Ethan, you're better off without Alex.  She's evil.  I'll be there for you."

Clark looks on in disgust at his wife.

Then he looks over at Halle and wonders about Alex.

Clark (who may have had a bit too much to drink)- "Alex...a freaking heartbreaker, right?"

Halle- "Excuse me?"

Clark- "She broke mine, she broke Ethan's and now my heart is breaking again...I want her back...

No!  I don't want her."

Clark- "She'll make me miserable like my wife over there, WHO CAN'T KEEP HER STINKING HANDS OFF MY BROTHER!"

Olivia- "You're gonna have to calm down."

Dean- "Clark, what's going on?"

Clark jerks back- "Don't touch me!"

Dean- "What's the problem?"

 

Clark- "You want to know what the problem is Mr. Dean?"

Clark- "I got her!  She's the worst wife in the freaking world.  She's lazy, mean...I see the way she looks at you.  But, she has this...this...this hold over me.  I can't break free from her spell.  She's like a witch."

Clark- "I envy you dude.  I'll take your beautiful wife any day."

Dean- "Alright Clark, chill out."

Clark- "Look at her...you know, I think I went after the wrong sister.  Mmm, look at those lips."

 

Dean shoves him off- "That's enough."

Clark- "Wow, it's just a compliment."

Halle- "Honey."

Naava- "Dean."

Clark- "Mmm, soft skin."

Dean hits him- "Don't touch her!"

Halle- "Dean, please don't."

Dean- "Halle move."

Halle- "How about we take a walk?"

Miles- "Son, take a minute."

 

Halle and Dean leave the building.

Brandy- "You're pathetic."

Clark- "Just get out of my life!"

Brandy- "I'll see you in court."

Clark- "I have the best lawyers you witch lady.  You'll get nothing!"

 

 

Much Much Later...

Halle and Dean rejoin the party after a relaxing walk on the beach.

 

It's after 2am and many of the guests have left.  The Waverly's are among the few remaining.

 

They talk, laugh and enjoy a few more cocktails.

Memorial Day with Family & Friends

Halle and Dean had a few people over in celebration of Memorial Day.

 

Halle- "So, tell us!  How was your date with Timothy?"

Carissa- "Horrible!"

 

Olivia- "What?!  What happened?"

 

Carissa- "Well, when we were speaking, all he did was talk about his ex-girlfriend, who he's apparently still crazy about."

 

Halle- "Oh gosh, I'm sorry."

Olivia- "So am I, I had no idea."

 

Carissa- "And on top of that, he was too cheap to pay for my dinner."

Alex- "Ouch."

 

Alex- "You should have pulled the restroom move."

Carissa- "Huh?"

 

Alex- "When you saw that the date was going nowhere, excuse yourself to the ladies room, then head for the nearest exit."

 

Carissa- "That's just wrong."

 

Halle- "Well, so is talking about his ex when he's on a date with you."

 

Olivia- "I agree Carissa, he would have paid for that therapy session.  Sorry girl, that was really my fault."

 

Carissa- "I think I'm destined to be alone."

Alex- *eye roll* "Ugh."

Halle- "You are not."

 

Olivia- "You can do what I've done.  I have taken a personal pledge to not focus on finding a man."

 

Carissa- "I may have to take that pledge."

 

Halle- "Not to knock your pledge, but Landon seems to really have a thing for you."

 

Olivia- "Isn't he a sweetie pie?!  It's tempting."

 

Alex- "Then date him!  Just don't go into it looking for anything more than a good time.  Goodness!  Is everyone looking for a husband?"

 

While the ladies chat it up in the kitchen, Shane and Mason enjoy the baseball game.

 

 

Mason has brought his daughter, Bridget, along.

 

 

Dean is grilling outside on the balcony.

 

 

Ms. Alina and Belinda enjoy their burgers.

 

 

Jessie and Amber stay close.

 

 

A While Later

 

Halle goes to check on the chef.

 

Halle- *smile* "Your food was very very tasty."

 

Dean- "Thanks babe."

 

Meanwhile...

 

Landon- "So, you don't return phone calls anymore?"

 

Olivia- "Trust me, it's nothing personal."

Ms.Alina- *chimes in* "She's just been busy, that's all."

 

Landon- "Is that right?"

 

Olivia- "Landon, it's just a bad time right now."

 

Inside the apartment 

 

The baseball game is still going on.

 

 

Belinda, Mason and Bridget talk cookies.

 

 

Carissa and Jessie take a moment to catch up.

 

Jessie- "How are things?"

Carissa- "Things are great."

Jessie- "Good."

 

Carissa- "Umm...I've never apologized for that catastrophe of a date.  I'm so sorry."

 

Jessie- *smile* "No worries, I survived."

Carissa- *smile* "I see."  A few moments later, "I heard that you're getting married."

 

Jessie- "Yeah, that's true."

Carissa- "Congratulations, she's a lucky girl."

 

Jessie- "Thank you."

 

Shane- "Oh, come on!"

 

Amber- "That's not good."

 

Hours Later

 

The last guests are leaving.

  

Halle- "Thanks for coming!"

Belinda- "Thanks for having us!"

Olivia- "I'll talk to you later."

Halle- "Okay."

Ms. Alina- "Halle, you should come out dancing with us one of these nights!"

Halle- "Sure, I'm up for it."

Olivia- "Just make sure you don't have to go into work the next day.  She can close any club!"

 

They say goodnight, then Halle walks out to the balcony.

 

Halle- "It's just me and you now mister."

 

Dean- "It's about time."

 

Halle- "Let's go to bed."

Dean wraps his arms around her- "Not just yet."

 

 

Hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend! :)
