AUTHOR'S NOTE: I REMODELED SOME OF THE SIMS, ESPECIALLY JENNA. THEY WILL LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT... OKAY? OKAY!

Two months later

"Do you like this one? I like this one." Jenna looked at Kari, and Kari smiled.
"I do, but I don't know if it matches the theme." Kari responded, and looked at the dress on Marisa. "Oh, but it looks amazing on Marisa!" Kari looked around the bridal shop, it's been two months, but everyone is still a little paranoid. Marisa looked back at Kari, with a little bit of worry in her eyes. Kari suspected it was from what Hollie and Mia said in Bridgeport, or the fact that all of this was over and Kam was still missing.
"So, is the the dress we're choosing?" Marisa looked in the mirror. She felt genuinely stunning.
"Yeah, I guess it is." Kari looked at Marisa, who had her hair in a side ponytail so she could see the dress better. "So, how's Liza?" Kari asked Jenna. Liza had been staying with her grandmother for the last couple weeks because Jenna thought it was still too dangerous to stay with them.
"Good. I visit her every day, of course, but I still miss her alot." Jenna said, looking in a mirror. "Have the police contacted you about Kam's disappearance lately?"
"Yeah." Kari looked around, making sure no one was listening to them. "They have no leads, no clues... It's like he just... Vanished."
Jenna looked at Kari. "Do you think it's... her?" Jenna asked, obviously talking about the Cursed Woman.
"Maybe." Kari sighed "but we don't have all the answers. Heck, we don't have any answers."
Jenna could see tears start to form in Kari's eyes, so she quickly changed the subject. "So, do we want to go pick out the wedding cake?"
"Yeah!" Kari said, excitedly. Kari loved cake; it was one of her favorite things about weddings.
They walked to the cake shop, where they had an appointment to test cakes and frosting and other necessities.
They got there, and Kari told her her favorite flavors; Strawberry cake with Banana icing, and chocolate filling. They spent a few hours testing a bunch of different flavors, and they eventually decided on a box-shaped cake with many different layers stacked on top of each other, and a couple fancy versions of strawberry, banana, and chocolate. After they decided on the cake, they walked home with their bridesmaid dresses.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
When the three girls got home, they found Travis, Jamie, and Adrian sitting in the bar talking about the tuxes and other details.
"Hey, Kari!" Travis smiled at her, and walked up and kissed her on the cheek.
"Hey Travis." She smiled back. "We're just going to put these up in my room." Kari and the two others walked up to their room and put the dresses in the closet. "So, a new book was released that I wanted to rea-" Kari was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell ringing. Kari, Marisa, and Jenna walked down to the front door, where the saw a note sitting on the doormat outside.
It was an invitation to a masquerade that night.
Masquerade.
Hosted by Aperille Clarke.
October 24th
1 Hill Road, Starlight Shores, Cali.
"Oh my god..." Jenna looked at the address.
"That's our old house..." Kari said.
The note was signed.
See you there.
----------------------------------------------
"Are we ready for this?" Kari said in her Biker outfit. She looked around at her friends; Jenna in a Cowgirl outfit, Marisa in a yellow and black dress, Adrian dressed as a Genie, Jamie as a hipster, and Travis as a skeleton. They were all wearing masks.
"This seems like a really bad idea." Marisa said, obviously scared out of her mind. "Maybe we should leave..."
"No" Jenna said. "We have to do this, if we don't... They do have Kam, after all." Jenna was right; there was no proof they had Kam, but who else would it be?
"Alright, let's go in." Travis held Kari's hand, and they walked in to the party.
They were immediately greeted by a girl named Aperille Clarke, the party's host. She was dressed as Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas, using digital editing devices to portray blue skin.
"Hey, I don't think I invited you..." She looked them over. "Do you have an invitation?" Kari gave them their invitation. "Well, this is my handwriting, all right. Hey, you mind taking off your mask?" She was looking straight at Kari, so she did. "Ah, sorry, Miss Bloom. I couldn't recognise you! Have a good time!"
Kari looked at her friends, "Miss Bloom?" She asked them. They all shrugged, but everyone had a freaked-out look under their masks. "Well, if we're going to be here, might as well have a good time. And it probably would be best to, well, split up. Horror movie, I know, but let's just do it." Kari and her friends split up. They looked around the house, knowing the interior all too well. Surprisingly, there weren't many guests as one would have expected.
Kari walked around the house, looking at objects. She made her way out to the pool, where a lot of guests were. She looked through them to see if she could notice anyone familiar, but she didn't see anyone.
Meanwhile, Marisa pulled Travis into the inside garden. "We need to talk, Travis."
Travis sighed. "There's nothing to talk about, Marisa."
"What do you mean there is nothing to talk about!" Marisa started to yell, then quieted down. "What about Bridgeport? I know we agreed about not telling Jamie and Kari, but honestly, I don't know if I can take looking at her knowing she doesn't know."
"There is no reason to tell her, Marisa." Travis calmly replied.
"I'm her bridesmaid!" Marisa actually yelled this time. "How could I not tell her we kissed!?"
"You... Kissed?" Kari looked at Travis. "Why... Why didn't you tell me?" Tears started to roll down her eyes.
Travis walked up to her. "Kari..." He reached and grabbed her arm, and she jerked away. "Kari, I didn't want to tell you be--"
"YOU LIED TO ME!" Kari yelled. "You lied... To me! Your future wife! I could take the kiss... But you tried to cover it up!"
"Kari..." Travis started crying, too. "I'm sorry, Kari, don't cry..."
"No." Kari said. "The wedding's postponed until further notice. I need to walk." She started to walk out of the mansion, when Aperille stopped her.
"Miss Bloom, is everything okay?" She asked Kari, but Kari walked right past her. Kari walked through the city for about an hour, and as she walked, many memories ran through her mind...
After an hour, Kari's phone rang with a new text message.
I'm so sorry, Jenna is on her way to pick you up-Marisa
As soon as she saw that text, a car pulled up, she didn't look as she responded to the text and got into the car and saw her blonde-haired friend out of the corner of her eyes.
Here she is, see you when I get home.
And almost instantly:
What? Jenna hasn't left yet.
Kari looked over.
"Hey, you're not--"
Thwack.
"So, is the the dress we're choosing?" Marisa looked in the mirror. She felt genuinely stunning.
"Yeah, I guess it is." Kari looked at Marisa, who had her hair in a side ponytail so she could see the dress better. "So, how's Liza?" Kari asked Jenna. Liza had been staying with her grandmother for the last couple weeks because Jenna thought it was still too dangerous to stay with them.
