                              chapter 1: Home of Happiness

Katie sat on the steps of an old-fashioned country church. She was out-of-view of the photographer, but was in the sights of the Priest and the farmers. There was a wedding taking place inside the church, a Betty Monroe to her high school sweetheart, Ralph Hapschatt. The photographer talked with his friend about the wedding and the people they were going to photograph as soon as they would come out of the doors with rice flying out to praise the future happy couple.

Katie blew a raspberry and chewed on some gum. The doors opened, allowing Katie to get out of the way as Ralph and Betty came out together and the rice was flying everywhere, making everyone laugh and have a great time. Katie huffed and stood behind everyone to hide.

"Yes, yes, all the close family." the photographer said as he was eager to snap a shot of the families of the bride and groom.

Ralph gave Betty a kiss on the cheek as everybody else stood with smiles. Once the picture was taken, everybody shared a loving laugh together. Katie brushed past the priest when they were done. She looked sullen and peeved. The priest glanced at the girl, then kept his eyes forward as he passed the farmers.

The best man was talking with Ralph as the bridesmaids huddled towards Betty, fawning over how beautiful she looked and how wonderful the ceremony was. Katie popped the chewing gum and slumped while leaning against a tree.

The bride was throwing her bouquet and her bridesmaids were nearly beating each other for it, but there can only be one winner and would be the next to get married. The question was just who would be the lucky girl? Katie hissed and ducked away, going to hide. Brad was talking to his friend.

Ralph playfully nudged his best man as the pink bridesmaid had won the flowers. "Hey pal, it looks like it could be your turn next."

Brad huffed, but grinned. Ralph and Betty then rode off together to enjoy their love fest with the family members chasing after them. Janet smiled and came up to Brad, then noticed Katie. What was wrong with that poor girl? Wasn't she happy about the wedding like everybody else? Brad followed her gaze.

Katie's cell phone was ringing and it had been Cherry.

Katie answered. "Hello?" She asks, sounding less grumpy than she would to anyone else.

"Hey, Kat," Cherry greeted, then noticed slight anger in the other girl's voice. "Is something bothering you?"

"Willy called the wedding off, he says he needs more time..." Katie huffs.

"Wonder what he's up to then?" Cherry wondered now.

"Poor girl..." Janet pouted, overhearing that.

"He doesn't love me anymore... or, he could have another woman... I don't know!" Katie says angrily, but not angry at Cherry.

Brad nodded, and instead of singing, quietly proposed to Janet.

"Oh, there can't be another woman..." Cherry tried to coax.

Janet beamed once she saw the ring, but tried not to be too showy due to how upset Katie was, even if she didn't know the girl and she happily accepted. Plus, this ring looked better than Betty's. Now she and Brad were engaged and she was so glad, because she was mad for him too.

Katie huffed. "Who knows? He could certainly have the pick of any other woman" she grumbles.

Brad looked.

"I don't think so, maybe you need some fresh air?" Cherry suggested.

"I'm outside as we speak... Ralph got me up here away from Willy." Katie says.

"Ralph?" Cherry raised an eyebrow. "Who the heck is Ralph? Like, Wreck-it-Ralph?"

"Ralph Hapschatt... a family friend." Katie says, her voice firm.

"Oh, my bad," Cherry chuckled nervously. "Umm... Gee, I wish I could help ya out, Kat..."

Janet looked too. "I don't know her, but we should do something... I feel so bad for her..."

"We could take her to see Dr. Scott." he suggests.

"Maybe," Janet smiled. "And while there, we could tell him that we decided to get married."

Brad smiled.

Janet smiled, coming to the girl. "Excuse me?" she spoke up, not meaning to rudely interrupt.

Katie glanced. "Just a second, Nee-bear..." she says then looked at Janet, curious.

Cherry waited on the other line.

"Would you like to come out with us?" Janet invited. "We're going to meet our old science teacher who became close with us after high school graduation. He's very friendly and a good person. That is, only if you want to... You poor thing, just dumped out like that..."

Katie blinked once. "Sure..." She says, her voice shocked.

Brad smiled.

"I'd hate to see a poor girl get her heartbroken... If you'd like, you could bring a friend." Janet smiled as she kept the bouquet firmly grasped as she was next to Brad.

Katie held up a finger. "Want to come meet a science teacher?" She asks her friend.

"A science teacher?" Cherry wondered what made Katie change the subject so quickly and bring something like that up. "Kat... Did you drink at Ralph's reception?"

"No, we've been invited by two guests... But, if you don't want to, just say." she says, not meaning to be mean but she was hurting deeply right then.

"Well, I don't wanna leave you alone, plus, I could get out of the house," Cherry sounded approving. "I'll bring you a little something."

"We'll be by, see ya." Katie says.

Brad was surprised.

"I guess this friend of yours is coming?" Janet safely assumed.

Cherry hung up, then decided to get herself ready for the new day she was going to have with Katie and possibly two new friends Katie hung up and nodded. She offered a tight smile. Brad started to lead them to his car. Janet walked with Katie to the car. Janet sat in the seat next to Brad while Katie sat in one of the backseats. Katie looked angrily outside the window. Janet looked out the window as Brad followed the directions to where Cherry lived and the girl was sitting on her front porch as she had her cell phone and charger out.

"Is that your friend?" Janet asked the girl in their backseat.

Katie looked. "Yeah." she says.

Cherry saw the car she didn't recognize, but once she saw Katie, she got herself over and went to sit in the seat behind Brad.

"How far is it?" Cherry asked Brad and Janet as she shared a hug with Katie for a moment.

"Not too far." Janet promised.

Katie kind of hugged back, not wanting to give in and cry. Brad drove off once they were all safely in. Cherry gave Katie a candy bar and even offered one to Janet. Janet smiled, happily taking hers and getting ready to start eating it. There were suddenly dark clouds coming as they left Cherry's neighborhood. Katie looked at what brand it was.

Brad looked up. "Looks like a storm." he says.

Cherry looked a little nervous about the storm.

"How odd..." Janet muttered as they were still going. "I don't recall seeing rain in the forecast."

It was getting dark quickly and a motorcyclist was passing them. Katie was snoozing, she refused to eat the Wonka bar.
A little something different in the previous Rocky stories provided by me and Katie, this time, Katie and Cherry themselves embark on a strange journey after a wedding, meeting two new friends named Brad Majors and Janet Weiss. Katie is down with her fiance, Willy Wonka calling off their wedding and Cherry joins her on a night out that they will all remember for a long time.
