[Opposite plot - Wedding time!]

[jill_langston]

Jill had escaped Mayko. She'd found a dress, put it on and then escaped her friend, not because she wanted to, of course, but because Mayko wanted her to do all this thinking and Jill was tired of thinking. Thinking was hard and she thought it would just be better to get married and not have to think ever again

John seemed to have been keeping a closer eye on Rodney than usual, but he didn't mind. He just talked at him about all the wonderful plans for his wedding he had, hardly noticing the glazed look in his best friend's eyes. He agreed to everything, though, so as far as Rodney was concerned everything was fine and dandy.

But Rodney had managed to escape to the Compound to get a suit. It had tails. It had a cummerbund, though Rodney didn't know that was what it was called. It had a bow tie. He was real proud of the bowtie. He'd tied it himself.

He loitered around New Atlantis, which seemed pretty empty for the site of a wedding, but John had promised he'd sort everything out so he was probably off doing that right now. And then Jill arrived, which drove any other thoughts right out of Rodney's head.

"You look beautiful," he breathed, opening his eyes wide and determined not to blink in case he missed a second of how beautiful Jill looked.

How in the hell was Rodney constantly escaping John? Or probably not escaping, at the level of...well, stupid he was working at, but maybe more along the lines of wandering off when John wasn't looking.

John hightailed it to New Atlantis as soon as he noticed Rodney was out of sight, and was almost disappointed to see he was right.

There probably wasn't anything scarier than seeing Rodney and Jill looking like they wanted to get married.

"Rodney, what the hell!" John cut his jog (he was not running, thank you) short as soon as he made it to New Atlantis, and hid a look of despair. "You're-- uh. You're not supposed to see the bride before the wedding!"

When Mayko can't find Jill, it's not exactly a stretch to figure out where she's gone, especially since the dress is gone with her. She just hopes she isn't too far behind, because in spite of all her coersion, a wedding on the island is an alarmingly simple thing to put together.

"Jill!" she says when she spots her, just barely in time. "Jill, you can't do this yet! We haven't... finished the guest list or figured out the hors d'oeurves."

"These are all the guests I need!" Jill answered when she saw Mayko, clearly delighted that her friend had decided to come be a part of the wedding after all. And John was there, too, which made the entire event even more special.

Clutching Rodney's hand, Jill glanced around, then frowned suddenly. "Where's Carson? Did anyone tell Carson that we're getting married? He has to be here, he's one of my friends, too, and I want him to give me away."
