Chapter 1:

Elizabeth looked at herself in the long floor length mirror, the long white wedding dress with the tight bodice looked extravagant on the future Mrs. Cassadine. It would only be a matter of minutes before she walked down the aisle and married her prince charming. The seamstress looked at the hem of the dress and made sure the lace trim was perfect.

"Well Miss Webber, I think the dress is almost done." Said the seamstress.

"Really? Let me guess, all that’s left is the train and sleeves." Liz said with a smile plastered across her face.

"Exactly, that’s all we need to do. Have you picked the lace you want at the end of the train?"

"Yes I have. It’s in the sample’s we were going through yesterday."

"Well then I’ll be right back."

The Seamstress left and Liz looked at the dress in the mirror, it was perfect as perfect as it could be with out the finishing touches. A few moments later the seamstress returned with the sample book and handed it to Liz. She flipped through the samples until she came to one of antique French lace.

"This is the one."

"Ahh, perfect choice Miss Webber. I’ll add it in time for the final fitting. Now what about the sleeves?"

"I’ve been thinking of that, and this will sound somewhat silly but I was thinking of sleeves like Sleeping Beauty in the Disney movie."

"Excellent choice. Mr. Cassadine is going to have his breath taken away when he sees you walking down the aisle."

"I hope so."

"Well, were done for the day. Would you like to see the Bridesmaid dresses?"

"Yes I would, but I think I’ll change first."

"Alright, I’ll go get the sample."

Liz went and changed in to her jeans and simple sky blue tee-shirt. When she came out, the seamstress held up a rose colored dress.

"It’s prefect!" Liz exclaimed.

Just as that was said Nikolas walked in.

"What’s perfect?" He asked as he walked over to his fianc�.

"The bridesmaid dresses." Liz replied as she took his hand in hers.

"Good, how’s your dress coming along?"

"Splendidly. Don’t think you’ll be getting a sneak preview."

"Oh rats, what if I’m really, really good?"

"You have to wait till the wedding."

"Alright."

"Miss Webber, I’ll need you back here in two weeks for another fitting."

"Alright, I’ll be here."

Nikolas and Liz left the dress shop and walked over to his car. Liz leaned against it for a moment.

"So what do you have planed for this evening Nik?"

Nikolas smiled and said, "Well my sweet, how does the OUTBACK sound. The latest L&B artist is performing there tonight."

"That sounds wonderful. Who is it by the way?"

"V, Ned, and Alexis are keeping that very hush, hush. They want it to be a surprise and a shock."

"Maybe Emily knows."

"If she does then, she’s not letting on. She’s probably begging Ned or V to find out who it is."

Nikolas opens the passenger door and Liz gets in.

Several hours later Liz is in her apartment getting ready. She’s wearing a pair of black pants, a large, loose purple silk blouse, and black boots. She stands in front of the hallway mirror and gathers her hair and pulls it back, then releases it.

"That’s not right." She said to herself.

She grabs the brush from the table in front of her and brushes her hair out.

"This will have to do."

The doorbell rang and she ran to the door. She opened it and saw Nikolas.

"Hi honey!" she said.

"Hello my sweet. You look wonderful this evening." He said as he walked into the apartment.

"Even my hair?"

"Yes, even your hair. You ready, the concert starts in an hour."

"Yeah, just let me grab my purse."

"Great."

Liz runs off to the bedroom to get her purse.

Emily is following Ned, V, and Alexis around the OUTBACK. They are trying to ignore her but they can’t help but hear her imploring for information about the hot new singer. All she’s gotten out of them is that it’s a Guy.

"Please Ned! You’re my favorite cousin. Please tell me who it is." Emily begged again.

Alexis turned to her and smiled. "We can’t tell. It’s part of the contract."

"What a crock!" Emily said.

"Believe me Em, I’d love to be able to tell you who it is." Ned said.

Liz and Nikolas walked in and Emily left her cousin and his business associates and went over to her friends.

"There keeping mum. Who ever this is, they better be good." Emily said.

"You really want to know that badly don’t you." Liz said.

"Yes! Whoever this is though, put it in their contract we can’t know who it is till HE performs."

"You know it’s a He?" Nik asked.

"Yeah, that’s all I got out of them."

"Let’s get to the table, The show will start soon."

The three sat down at the table, and ordered their drinks. After the drinks arrived, V got on stage.

"Good Evening Port Charles! Is everyone ready for the newest L&B sensation?"

The audience claps and cheers.

"Well then, let’s welcome him!" She gets off the stage and the performer steps on. There are no lights on him so his features can not be seen. He walks to center stage and the light shines down on him. As soon Liz sees him her eyes widen, and then shut as she faints in her chair, un-noticed by Nikolas or Emily.
