Flora closes the card and a grin appears across her cheek, she lifts her head and cast a cursory glance across the room. Out of a sudden, she feels a warm hand on her shoulder. She wheels herself around, but there were nobody in sight. She turns back disappointedly, only to find Gallen smiling before her.
GALLEN: Hi!
FLORA: You are Happy Teddy?
GALLEN: (acting cute) What do you think?
FLORA: Childish!
GALLEN: But it did cheer you up, didn’t it? Why are you so unhappy?
FLORA: (stole a glance at Roger) Why are you so meddlesome with my affairs?
GALLEN: Because I care!
FLORA: Thanks, but I don’t need your care!
GALLEN: (poutingly) Are you sure? (eyeing Roger)
FLORA: Yup!
GALLEN: (smiles) Nah… I think you do need my help.
FLORA: What do you mean?
Without wasting a second, Gallen had given her the answer. Deftly and skillfully, he waited until Roger was looking in their direction to press a peck on Flora’s cheek. Then he drags her away hastily out of the room.
GALLEN: (pulling her hand) Come on, quick!
FLORA: (pressing her redden cheek with her other hand) Hey, what do you think you are doing? Roger saw us!
GALLEN: (pulling her to a corner) That’s my purpose!
FLORA: (panicking) What am I to do now? (stares at him) You better explain it to him!
GALLEN: (smiling) Relax! (looking at his watch) 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
ROGER: (running out from the room) Flora! (staring at Gallen) What were you two doing?
FLORA: (anxiously) No! It’s not what you make out of it…
GALLEN: (smugly) You saw it! So why ask further?
FLORA: (shouting) Gallen Yip!
ROGER: (annoyed) You were accusing me and Jess earlier, and what about you? Fancy kissing in public! Do you have any regard for me anymore?
FLORA: No, it’s not like that! Gallen Yip, explain!
GALLEN: (nonchalantly) I have nothing to supplement!
ROGER: (staring at them) Do as you deem fit! Excuse me! (walks back into the room)
FLORA: (pulling Gallen’s shirt and shaking him) Look at what you’ve done! Are you happy now?
GALLEN: (pushing her hands away) Oh no, you crumpled my suit!
FLORA: Who cares? Deserves you right!
GALLEN: Hey, cool down!
FLORA: Unless you promise to explain matters!
GALLEN: (shaking his head) Not a good tactic!
FLORA: (irritated) Then what do you suggest?
GALLEN: Erm… just ignore him for a few days…
FLORA: (yelled) How can I?
GALLEN: Let me finish my sentence first! Ignore him and if he cares about you, he will miss you, and automatically look you up!
FLORA: (disbelieving) Are you sure?
GALLEN: (sourly) Of course! Unless you have no confidence in him!
FLORA: But he’s angry!
GALLEN: Have some trust in me, and have some trust in yourself!
FLORA: (helplessly) Who knows! By the way, aren’t you supposed to help out?
GALLEN: (smiles) It’s ok, Sunny’s there to help Julian! And there are a lot of buddies he have…
FLORA: Now who is the bridegroom here? Tough luck Julian had!
GALLEN: (grins) Ok, I’ll listen to you! I’ll go help out! See you around! (striding away)

(7.15 p.m.)
RAYMOND: (spotted Myolie) Myo? You are here too? Do you know the bride or the bridegroom?
MYOLIE: (smiles) Neither. I know the bridesmaid!
RAYMOND: (recalls) Oh yup! (to Tavia) Then what about you, Tavia?
TAVIA: Tagging along, as usual!
ANNIE: (patting Raymond’s shoulder) Ray! Did you see Ada?
RAYMOND: (looking around) Nope, why?
ANNIE: She was supposed to get something for me, and she’s missing!
RAYMOND: (grins) Maybe she’s gone to chat with my Dai Gor again?
ANNIE: (pouting) They are certainly stealing our limelight away! Anyway, these two girls are…
RAYMOND: Oh! Tavia and Myolie, my friends! Myolie is Ada’s cousin! (to them) And this is today’s bride, Annie!
MYOLIE: Nice to meet you!
TAVIA: You look too beautiful for anyone to steal your limelight, Annie!
ANNIE: (to Tavia) Hah! Sweet talker! Oh, I see! One of them must be your girlfriend, Ray! Naughty you! (winking)
RAYMOND: Erh… nope! Just friends!
ANNIE: (grinning) Are you sure?
RAYMOND: (looking at Myolie, then at Tavia) Of course!
JULIAN: (calling while walking to them) Hey Annie dear, why are you still here?
ANNIE: Looking for Ada!
JULIAN: She IS looking for you over there, and you are chatting here? Quick, let’s go and get ready! (pulls her) (to the rest) Excuse me.
ANNIE: (walking away with Julian) Where did you find her?
JULIAN: She came past us and had a chat with Gallen.
ANNIE: Awww… that friend of yours!
JULIAN: (correcting) Flora’s friend! How about that brother of yours? He only appeared at the last minute!
ANNIE: But you’ve got my brother to help you!

At the other end, Roger was drinking at a corner. Jessica joins him.
JESSICA: (grabbing his glass) Roger, why are you drinking when the function haven’t even started?
ROGER: (pushing her hands away) Leave me alone!
JESSICA: Why? What happened just now? Why did you ran out of the room?
ROGER: (insisted) Nothing happened!
JESSICA: But I’m worried, I don’t want to see you like that!
ROGER: I’m alright, I just need to be alone!
FLORA: (walking towards them, calling) Roger!
ROGER: (grabbed Jess’ hand) Let’s go!
JESSICA: Where are we going? The wedding is starting soon!
ROGER: (pulls her hand and reaches for the exit) Just come with me!
Just then, he knocked into someone at the exit.
STEVEN: Ouch! (lifts his head up) Hey you look familiar, have I...
ROGER: (turning around to see Flora catching up) Sorry, excuse me! (strode off with Jess)
STEVEN: (shrugs confusedly) (saw Flora approaching) Hi, Flora!
VIVIAN: (smiles) Hi!
FLORA: You two are so late today?
STEVEN: Erh…
FLORA: But it’s ok. Steven, let me bring you to them, ok?
STEVEN: (hesitating) Erm… but…
VIVIAN: You’ve forgiven them, haven’t you?
FLORA: Yup, if not, why are you here today?
VIVIAN: Steven! Just go!
STEVEN: You’ll come along!
VIVIAN: (smiles) If you insist!
Flora brought them to the first dressing room and gave a knock on the door, then entered.
ANNIE: (saw Steven) Steve?
STEVEN: (walks to her graciously while extending his hand) Hi, Annie, it’d been many years since we’ve seen each other. Congrats!
ANNIE: (shook his hand a bit unnaturally) Thank you. (looking at Vivian)
STEVEN: This is Vivian, my friend.
ANNIE: Oh, nice to meet you.
JULIAN: (barging into the room with some guys) Hey Annie, are you ready? They are rushing us!
STEVEN: (turns around) Hi, Jules!
JULIAN: (taken aback) Erh… Hi…
FLORA: (tugging Steven’s sleeves) Didn’t you have something to say?
STEVEN: (extending his hand) My most sincere blessings and congratulations!
JULIAN: But… you don’t blame me?
STEVEN: I do!
JULIAN: Huh?
STEVEN: I do blame you two for not informing me of your wedding! I only found out from one of our classmates!
JULIAN: I’m sorry, I thought you would still be angry at us… so I…
STEVEN: So I am that petty in your eyes?
JULIAN: Of course not! (patting his shoulder) Good buddy we will always be!
STEVEN: (patting back) Yeah!
FLORA: Then what about me? (to Steven) Oh… now you’re kicking away the ladder!
STEVEN: (raising his eyebrows) You don’t look like a ladder to me, Flora!
JULIAN: (teasing) Yeah, you don’t need us! You have your Roger! (looking around) Now where’s he?
FLORA: Erm… sorry, excuse me. Someone outside is calling me. (exits)
JULIAN: Hey, did you all hear anybody calling her?
STEVEN: Nope, she’s weird!
ADA: (confused) What happened?
GALLEN: (pulling Ada to a side) I think it’s my fault!
