I don't think Ceri feels at all like Lilith is her best friend, definitely not mutual. Like I said, she's trouble.

[fluffysmom]

I don't think Sydney and Lilith will like each other.

Chapter 5

DORM ROOM
CERI: You might want to correct yourself, there. We never actually dated.
LILITH: But, we would have.
CERI: Um...no.
LILITH: But, back when you left for America, you told me that you loved me.
CERI: As a friend, yeah. I mean, we were close once upon a time, but not that close.
LILITH: Oh, get real. We told each other everything. We practically grew up in each other's houses. We practiced kissing with each other, that's how I first found out I was bi.
CERI: And how I found out I like girls. Regardless, it's been a long time. Three and a half years, to be precise. Even if I had had feelings for you in more than just a friendly way, that's over.
LILITH: Well, I'm here now. And maybe me being here will show you what you really want.
CERI: I know what I really want.
The door opened, and Sydney walked in.
SYDNEY; Hey.
CERI: Hey, hon.
Ceri and Sydney hugged.
SYDNEY: What's going on?
LILITH: Aren't you gonna introduce us, Ceri?
CERI: Lilith, this is my fiance, soon to be wife, Sydney DiMera. Sydney, this is Lilith Cummins, a friend from my old school back in Wales.
LILITH: Friend?
Lilith chuckled.
LILITH: Oh, please, Ceri, we were more than friends.

BRADY PUB
Allie coughed.
ALLIE: Excuse me?
WILL: Well, it's the only thing that makes sense.
ALLIE: It makes no sense at all!
Will stared at Allie.
WILL: Allie, really? Come on, I know you better than anybody else here.
Allie sighed.
ALLIE: Okay, fine. I guess I'm a bit hungover.
Will took a deep breath.
WILL: So, how did this happen?
ALLIE: Yesterday was my last day of classes. Some friends and I went out to celebrate. I...celebrated a little too much. I mean, I really didn't have that much to drink, just a couple glasses of wine...and, maybe a hard cider or two. But, I didn't drive. One of my sober friends drove me out here and dropped me off at Sydney's dorm room. I stayed there for the night, and I did my best not to appear drunk in front of my little sister. But, she knew something was off.
WILL: Allie, you're the smart one in the family. You know our family history with alcohol.
ALLIE: I know. I know.
WILL: Why'd you do it, anyway?
ALLIE: I don't know, I just wasn't thinking. I was stressed out from finals and just wanted to let loose a bit, you know? Look, I get it, okay? It was stupid. I never should have done it.
WILL: Is this the first time it's happened?
ALLIE: Yeah, totally. And the last. Never doing that again.
WILL: Well, that's good. So, that's why you didn't go to mom and dad's last night, then?
ALLIE: Exactly. And, they can't ever know about this. If they find out, they'll kill me. You have to promise me that you won't tell them.
WILL: Can you promise me that you won't do this again.
ALLIE: I already did. Sorry, sorry. Yes, I promise.
WILL: Okay. Because, I can't promise not to tell them if you can't promise it won't happen again.
ALLIE: Oh, trust me, it won't. This hangover sucks.

[heroicmuse]

I think Will is overreacting a little bit. Allie is a college student, and lots of college kids drink from time to time and even get hungover. It doesn't necessarily mean Allie is an alcoholic. Of course, the fact that she promised never to drink again means that she will

I hope Sydney has enough trust in herself and Ceri to ignore Lilith's attempt to interfere and even put her in her place!

I hope there will be previews André DiMera

[fluffysmom]

I agree heroicmuse. Will needs to relax unless the drinking gets out of control.

Lilith is definitely trying to stir up trouble.

Will there be previews André DiMera?

[André DiMera]

Yes, heroicmuse and fluffysmom, there will be previews tomorrow. I'm glad you're all enjoying the story so far! Lilith is an interesting character, and she has ties to more people than just Ceri.

[André DiMera]

Next week

Sydney and Lilith have words.
Lilith meets another old friend in Salem.
Allie has an interesting week.

All this and more next week on WHITE WEDDING.

[heroicmuse]

Oooh I wonder what's happening with Allie and who else Lilith has ties to. Can't wait André DiMera!

[Kpatch]

I'm glad Allie has not been forgotten in fan fiction!

[fluffysmom]

Thanks André DiMera. I wonder who Lilith's old friend is.

Chapter 5

DORM ROOM
SYDNEY: More than friends?
LILITH: Definitely more than friends.
SYDNEY: In what sense?
LILITH: In every sense. We were lovers. We were intimate.
CERI: Stop right there. That is a lie. Maybe you had a thing for me, but it was not reciprical.
LILITH: Well, you seemed to enjoy it when we did it.
CERI: Oh, please, Lilith, give me a break. The most we ever did was kiss.
SYDNEY: So, you guys were close.
LILITH: Very.
SYDNEY: That's strange, because Ceri's never mentioned you.
LILITH: What?
SYDNEY: Never at all. I've never even heard your name until tonight. And, if you guys were really as close as you say you are, I'm pretty sure Ceri would have mentioned you.
LILITH: You...you never mentioned me? Not even once?
SYDNEY: Nope. Never.
CERI: Right, well, I think maybe it's time for you to leave, Lil.
LILITH: Hell no. I didn't come halfway around the world just to have the door slammed in the face by my ex-girlfriend.
SYDNEY: Lilith, whatever happened between you and Ceri is in the past. Ceri and I are going to be married in two weeks. Now, I suggest you do what my fiance said, and leave.
LILITH: Shove off, love. This is nothing to do with you. This is between Ceri and me.
Sydney walked up to Lilith, very calmly. She put a hand on Lilith's shoulder.
SYDNEY: Lilith, you seem like a nice girl. A very nice girl. I'm sure I'd love to know more about you at some point. But, right now, I have a question for you. Have you ever heard of the DiMera family?
LILITH: Yes. Of course I have. Who hasn't?
SYDNEY: Okay. Here's something you should know about me. I'm Stefano's granddaughter. His only granddaughter.
Lilith gulped and took a step back.
SYDNEY: Now, I never really knew my grandfather. He died when I was living in LA. with my mom. But, I did grow up under one of his more ruthless sons, E.J., or Elvis DiMera.
Lilith stepped back further.
SYDNEY: Yeah. So, if you're trying to make me feel threatened by you, you should probably know, it's never gonna work. Because, if there's one thing I learned having E.J. as a father and Sami Brady as a mother, it's how to fight back.
LILITH: Right...well, I'll keep that in mind. Um, perhaps Ceri's right. Maybe I should just go for now. I'll, uh, I'll catch up with you later, Ceri.
Lilith made a hasty retreat.
CERI: Wow! I am impressed.
Sydney did a curtsy.
SYDNEY: Thank you.
She wrapped her arms around Ceri and kissed her.
CERI: I'm so sorry about all that.
SYDNEY: It's okay. Look, I know that whatever happened between you two was a long time ago. Way before we ever met. And, I'm cool with it.
CERI: Really?
SYDNEY: Really. I know that you guys were super close, and that you used to practice kissing with each other, and that she's the one who helped you figure out that you like girls. But, like I said, you've also told me that that was a long time ago.
CERI: It was.
SYDNEY: I know. And, in a way, I'm actually kind of grateful to Lilith.
CERI: Seriously?
SYDNEY: Yeah. Think about it this way: if Lilith had never help you discover that you like girls, you and I probably wouldn't be about to be getting married in two weeks.
CERI: You are an amazing fiance, you know that?
SYDNEY: No, you're the amazing one.
CERI: No, you are.
SYDNEY: No, you are.
Ceri and Sydney drew each other into a passionate kiss. After the kiss, the two sat down, and Sydney laid her head on Ceri's shoulder, and kissed her several times on the neck.
CERI: I love you.
SYDNEY: I love you.

[heroicmuse]

Go Sydney! I'm glad she didn't do the typical jealousy thing. I'm sure Lilith is not done trying to cause trouble though.

[Kpatch]

I'm impressed with the way Sydney handled Lilith also. So apparently Ceri HAD mentioned Lility to her, but Sydney just said that to blow her off.

[fluffysmom]

Go Sydney!

[mae00]

So glad that Sydney didn't jump to some of her mom's antics. I am glad that she used the Dimera name to get Lilith to back off tho.
