Rocky: Aw, thanks. (Smiles) How come you guys don't have dates tonight anyway?
Max: Oh we had ours rainchecked.
AG: You know I seldom date.
Rocky: Oh come on AG. Aunt Ellie wouldn't like that. I'll set you up with someone. (Winks)
AG: Oh please. (Drinks wine)
Rocky: My best friend's flying in from London and I can't wait for you to meet her.
---AG just smiled. And then the doorbell rings.
Max: I'll get it.
---When he opened the door, it's the newlyweds.
Couple: Hey!
4: Hey!
Blake: What the hell are you guys doing here? We're having a party in the suite!
Syd: Oh we're good here man. Just enjoy catching up with your other friends.
Ally: Hey don't be silly, the other three are back from their dates and they're the ones we're having an after-party with!
Yeo: (arrives) Come on you losers! We brought more booze!
---And so they joined them in the suite. Syd changed to his hoodie and sweatpants first. Yeo is back - alone; while Taylor and Rain are still with Sophie and Lana. In the middle of their fun party.
Blake: Thanks guys, for always being there for me and Ally. I'm gonna miss you while we're on honeymoon.
---They all laughed.
Blake: But seriously, you know you are literally my second family. And now I see we're getting bigger. So (raises glass) I hope we could all be there as each of us settles down.
Ally: Yeah that's the right term babe. (Hugs him) Our first husband and wife argument was the term other than 'getting married'. (Laughs)
---They all laughed.
Blake: Cheers to that guys.
All: Cheers!
---And they enjoyed the rest of the night with the couple. The couple offered the suite to those who wanted to stay, but they all decided to go. Rain, Taylor, Sophie and Lana went home together with Yeo who was too drunk to drive so he just left his car in the parking lot. AG and Max are also drunk so Rocky offered their room since there are two double beds anyway. The couple is holding Max who's too drunk to walk.
AG: Just put him here. (pulls comforter) You guys sure we can stay tonight? We might be ruining your time together.
Rocky: Hey it's fine, silly. Okay Maxy, just one more step.
---And Max dives on the bed. The three sighed.
Syd: Whatever it is, he's not doing well.
Rocky: I know.
AG: He'll talk when he's ready. We all know Max.
Rocky: (exhales) Yeah. Okay get some sleep now guys. (puts blanket on Max) Good night, bunny. (kisses head) Good night, AG. (hugs him)
AG: Good night, Rock. (taps Syd's arm) Night bro. You want a hug?
Syd: (opens arms) Oh sure bro, come on. (chuckles)
AG: (pushes him) Go away!
---Rocky laughs. When the two are already in dreamland, Syd already joins Rocky in bed after washing up.
Syd: (whispers) Hey.
---Rocky turns around, facing him.
Rocky: Hey. (smiles)
