Chapter 1: Save the Date

Date: February 10

(Charlotte's P.O.V)

"It all comes down to this." Trevor said.

"What we decided here could change everything." Brianna added.

"Are you ready?" I asked.

"Um is this all necessary in deciding a wedding date?" Jack asked and we all stared at him.

"Sorry. Got a little intense there, but it's been almost two months since you proposed, you gotta have some idea of when you want the wedding to be." I said.

Everyone was sitting around the kitchen table several papers lay everywhere. It was thought to be the most simplest assignment ever. Choose a wedding date. Yeah, not as easy when you have to run a holiday.

"I think we can rule out both September and October. Those months are super busy for everyone here." Trevor said, looking at clipboard.

"Also December and January, I don't think you guys wanna wait nearly a year to get married." Brianna added.

"Hmm, very good points. You're quite good at this." Jack commented thoughtfully.

"This is just the icing on the cake. But once we get a date everything else will become much clearer." Brianna said.

"Okay, February's also ruled out since we can't plan a wedding in less then a month. So where does that leave us?" Stephen asked.

"March, April, May, June, July, August and November." I said without hesitation then turned to Sally.

"You've been quite, it's your wedding so what are your thoughts?" I asked.

"Well, you've made some interesting claims, but I think I prefer a wedding when it's warmer out." Sally said thoughtfully.

"Ooh! I can totally see that!" Brianna squealed.

"Okay, but which one, there are several months. You just ruled out March and November." Stephen grumbled. Brianna gave him a light smack in the head.

"Give them a minute. It's their wedding." She huffed, Stephen rubbed his head in annoyance.

"So why exactly couldn't Coraline and Wybie make it?" Trevor asked.

"Family stuff, they couldn't make it without anyone knowing they were missing. They said that they would try to come to the next meeting." I explained.

"And the other four?" Trevor asked.

"Would you rather play games with a ghost dog, or sit in a chair trying to find a certain date?" I asked simply. Trevor seemed to understand and gave an 'ah' before nodding.

"Also Bella is still getting used to Halloween town." Brianna added.

"Yeah, I think she's not even sure what monster she is. I'm not sure what monster she is." Stephen commented.

"Isn't she a zombie?" Trevor asked.

"No, she's more of a corpse. She was drained of her life not infected...She's probably what Lock, Shock and Barrel are if anything." Stephen said thoughtfully.

"Okay, how about we change the subject...now." I growled through clenched teeth. It was kind of a sensitive subject. Bella was alone for decades and is living with monsters. Not a step you'd expect to take. I can't imagine what she would have gone through.

"May 14."

We all turned to Sally, and our eyes widened.

"Wait what?" I asked.

"May 14, I think that would be a good time for our wedding." Sally explained gripping Jack's hand.

"I like it too." Jack confirmed.

"Yes! Marking on my calendar now!" Brianna exclaimed happily and whipped her phone out and began typing on it.

"I guess it's settled then." I said happily.

"Great, can we go outside now?" Trevor asked pointing to the door.

"Dude, the date was the tip of the ice berg. Now we have loads more stuff we can do." Brianna then pulled out several binders from under her chair and slammed them on the table.

"Uh...this feels like we're gonna study for a test rather then plan a wedding." Stephen said, staring at the massive stack of binders.

"Brianna, when did you have the time to make this?" Sally asked, brushing her fingers against the stack.

"Are you kidding? I've been planning weddings since I was in diapers! Granted most had to do with cartoons and t.v shows, but I've been planning them. It's like a second nature to me. You'll thank me later." Brianna winked happily.

"Uh...Wait, you've planned a wedding for everyone you've meant?" Stephen asked, dumbfounded.

"Not everyone I've met. I couldn't plan my parents wedding. For a number of reasons." Brianna said simply.

"Okay, well I guess we have to look through these." I said, taking a binder from the top.

"I'll admit I'm impressed Brianna, the Mayor should take notes from you." Jack commented. The frowned for a moment. "Though how have you managed all this in less than a year? You've only known Sally and I since last Halloween." Jack asked.

Brianna and I looked at each other worriedly. Stephen and Trevor just averted their gaze by hiding behind the binders. I have been so careful not to break the fourth wall here, it's been running smoothly, not to mention I didn't live out the actual movie so that was good. But Brianna planned her own fantasy version of Jack and Sally's wedding since we saw the movie. How would we explain that?

"Well, Bone Daddy, you'd be surprised how much spare time you have when you aren't running a holiday. Most weddings are really straight forward anyway, and I've done this before. So quite questioning and start reading. We have a lot to get through." Brianna explained and I held in a laugh at Jack's face when she called him 'Bone Daddy'.

"Alright then..." Jack said and looked at the binder Sally was looking at.

"The decor you thought of looks really nice Brianna. I think the witches and I can make something almost identical too it." Sally said.

"Oh great, I can't wait too!" Brianna squealed then Jack opened a binder and frowned.

"Um, why are there no names on the guest list?" Jack asked.

"Well, I didn't know if you knew any outsiders that wanted to come. I decided to leave that blank. Even though a part of me wanted to write down slender man." Brianna said. Though it sounds like she wasn't joking about the last part.

"Wait, do you know slender man?" Trevor asked.

"No, not personally anyway." Jack said.

"Okay, then." Let's see what else we can get done tonight." I suggested and we kept looking at the binders. I smiled softly to myself. Thigh we had a lot to plan, I knew it would be worth it in the end.

"Oh, one more thing, don't you even consider eloping or I swear by the Seven Holiday's I won't be responsible for anything that happens to your house." I joked causing everyone to laugh.

"That goes for me too, I've been practicing my violin and learned a few things." Brianna said, smirking slightly.

"Well, I wouldn't think of not having my friends there." Sally said.

"Neither would I." Jack added and placed a kiss on Sally's forehead.

"Awwwwwwww." Brianna and I gushed.

"Wait, what was that about your violin?" Trevor asked in a slightly nervous voice.

"You'll have to wait until I show you, by that I mean when Coraline and Wybie are here." Brianna winked playfully.

"Does this have anything to do with why the soccer field..." I started but Brianna covered my mouth.

"Ssh! No spoilers! None!" She hissed. I have a thumbs up before she let go of my mouth.

"Uh...Charlotte, what time is it?" Trevor asked and I checked my phone.

"9:30...shoot, we should get home. Mom and dad will be home soon and expect us to be in bed." I said and quickly grabbed my keychain.

"Well, we'll see you all later." Sally said getting up and we each gave goodbye hugs and I used my keychain to get in my house. Stephen and Brianna went in their own ways and Trevor followed me.

"So, that was fun." Trevor said and fell into the couch. He then noticed I was fiddling with my keychain.

"Hey, you okay? You seem distracted?" He asked and I sighed heavily.

"I just have a lot on my mind right now." I said and sat next to him.

"Wanna talk about it?" He asked. I looked at him for a moment. I never really talked about this with anyone, mainly cause if I did I would be sent to a therapist, and it was all just mysterious. Finally I took a breath.

"I'm just wondering, why me of all people? Why was I the one who was whisked away to our school and save Sally? It's all just so weird. I mean, there are several other people who love the movie just as much as I do, but...why was it me?" I explained and Trevor was silent for a moment.

"Wow, I'll be honest I wasn't expecting that. Maybe it was dumb luck, or maybe there was a certain reason, but I wouldn't think to hard about it. Cause hey, if it didn't happen we wouldn't be going to and from Halloween town. Not many people can put that in a college essay." Trevor joked and we laughed.

"Oh shut it you." I gave him a playful shove and stood up. "I guess your right, I may never know what happened or why it happened, but the important with know is moving forward." I said and Trevor got up beside me.

"That's the spirit! Now, can we please get ready for bed." He pleaded and I rolled my eyes playfully.

"You don't need to ask for that, beds upstairs." I said and he rushed up.

I sighed and pulled out my phone, marking the day one of my OTP's would be wed. May 14.

Date: February 10

93 days until the wedding.
