Orla and James were in Hidalgo's, laughing and talking when Orla said. "So are you glad that you're back on A-Troupe?"

"Honestly, I've been so busy with Aunt Kathy's wedding that I haven't really taken it in," smiled James.

The real reason they were in Hidalgo's was to meet Aunt Kathy's fiance, which would be... interesting, Orla knew.

"Hello, hello!" Kathy called excitedly as she ran into the shop, sitting down with a very smiley expression.

"Hey!" James grinned. "Where's your fiance? He's real, right?"

"So funny!" Kathy rolled her eyes. "He's just finishing his parking job, he wants to make sure the car is parked equidistantly between the white lines and the pavement. He's a great parker..."

Orla and James looked at each other and immediately regretted it, both holding in laughter.

"So weird..." James trailed off.

"So how did you two meet?" Orla asked to fill the awkward silence.

"Ah, well, Deborah, James' mum, introduced us, and it was magic!" Kathy grinned. "It just-"

"That's my driving instructor!" James suddenly hissed, tapping Orla's shoulder quickly. "Remember the crazy one, he's right there, what's he doing here? Is he here to revoke my licence? He's crazy-"

"Relax, he's my fiance!" Kathy giggled as the instructor came over.

"What?!" James exclaimed, his voice going up about ten octaves as Orla struggled to keep from laughing.

"James! Hey!" Arthur, the instructor, grinned at the boy. "Isn't this exciting?"

"What?!" Was all James said, again.

"I mean, what?!"

"I helped introduce you to the satisfying world of safe driving and now, we're gonna be family!"

Orla was killing herself now, laughing head head off as James side eyed her, looking concernedly and Arthur.

"I mean, I knew he was gonna be weird, but this guy is beyond weird!" James exclaimed desperately. "And, of course, Orls is being a great help."

"How did I not know about this?" James appealed to Kathy.

"Oh, well, you know now, let's have a hug, okay?" Arthur grinned, putting an arm round Kathy and James then looking at Orla. "Could you take a photo?"

"Oh, yes!" Orla laughed, pulling out her phone.

"Do not take a photo of this, Orls," James rolled his eyes.

"Smile, James!" Orla smirked, pulling up her camera and pressing the button.

Orla watched, slumped on the sofa at Aunt Kathy's, as James taught Arthur how to slow dance boredly. She smiled as she looked at them, knowing that her and James would be doing the exact same thing at the wedding tomorrow.

However, she knew that James didn't want to be doing that, it was just because Aunt Kathy asked him to and Deborah had told him that he had to do everything he asked.

"They're setting up the wedding tent for tomorrow!" Exclaimed Kathy as she skipped into the room.

"Sounds like a hug!" Arthur smiled, leaving James and going to hug his wife-to-be.
