Three days later. The wedding:
Harry: What is SHE doing here? Ruth: She’s not a guest! Harry: Not my guest. Lucas (defensive): Not my guest! Tariq: *silently passes Ros a fork* *pause*
(to the tune of Be Our Guest from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast)
Harry: My dear Ruth, it was my greatest hope Too much to hope *sigh* That our wedding could take place Without the song and dance Let us continue After we hear from our… Ros (fork taps impatiently): …Most unwelcome Tariq (edges away): ...guest?
S.C. (glares at Ros and takes centre stage to rant): It’s a mess. It’s a mess. Why is Lucas in a dress? Harry: An interesting tattoo, I see. Ros: I said it was my best. Nightingale, accent fail, why are you not in jail? S.C.: Our conspiracy - it’s malicious. Do believe me. We’re the bitches. You may sing. You may dance. Barbados just ain’t France. And your jails would never pass the Sarah test. I’m here to crash ur wedding, all mah lolcats say That you’re a mess, you’re a mess, you’re a mess
*silence*
Jo: Boo! S.C.: *faints* Ros: *stabbing sound*
*Everyone looks at Jo and truly sees her* Jo: What? Zaf could sing it much better. Harry: Where were we?
And the rest of the ceremony was uninterrupted.

Ros had not gone outside because she thought Poker Face was overplayed and the hall overcrowded but because she was avoiding dancing with Lucas. She did not want to risk giggling. Reputations, once broken, are difficult to rebuild.
“Three things”, said Jo quietly, and Ros looked up. “I am a ghost. There is a colour called amaranthine. And I’m taking a job as a tooth fairy.”
Ros was quite proud she remained expressionless except for the raising of one eyebrow. “I can see. Reddish-purple. Exactly the shade of Miss Reagan’s blood, I believe.”
They digested that for a minute.
“Harry said it was very tidy, considering,” said Jo. “She was easily scared,” replied Ros with sarcasm. “You’re not easily scared.” Jo pressed “Jo. I am not afraid of ghosts.” “Harry and Zaf want me back at the grid for good.” She said steadily looking Ros in the eye. Ros said nothing. “But I can take the tooth fairy job.” “You like chocolate too much.” Ros smiled. Jo smiled back, relieved, altogether glad.
She liked the idea of being easily scary. She would get Harry to add it to her job title. Even better she’d get Harry to add it to Ros’ job title. It wasn’t as if Ros could kill her. They’d make a good team.
Harry: What is SHE doing here?
Ruth: She’s not a guest!
Harry: Not my guest.
Lucas (defensive): Not my guest!
Tariq: *silently passes Ros a fork*
*pause*

Harry: My dear Ruth, it was my greatest hope
Too much to hope *sigh*
That our wedding could take place
Without the song and dance
Let us continue
After we hear from our…
Ros (fork taps impatiently): …Most unwelcome
Tariq (edges away): ...guest?
S.C. (glares at Ros and takes centre stage to rant): It’s a mess. It’s a mess. Why is Lucas in a dress?
Harry: An interesting tattoo, I see.
