Oh joy, progress reports day. Big surprise I made the honor roll. Bigger surprise, Nick Baker nearly had a heart attack because he got an A-. The freak. Turns out it should have been a regular A and it was a computer mark or something. Like I care? No, not really. Though, I would have paid good money to see the computer screw up and give him like a

I think I owe them the chance of being there. If they decline? They can save the lecture for when we get back. They're already in Vegas though so...

*picks up her cell phone and dials her Dad's cell phone number*

Daddy, Eric and I have decided we're coming up to Vegas. Yes. That would be awesome if you could get us a suite at the Venetian hotel, but you should hear me out first.

Eric and I have decided we're getting married. Daddy, wait, just listen. I love him and you know I'm going to do this anyway. I've always wanted you to be the one to give me away, but if you can't respect my wishes, I'll understand. Bottom line is, I want to be his wife and I've chosen to make this committment to him. We're running on a real short time schedule, so i'll...

*listens to her father*

Yes, Daddy, I know that. Yes, I know that too. Yes, Daddy, I'm really serious about doing this tonight.

*beams a smile at Eric*

Honestly we need a chapel booked and rings. No, let Mom go ahead and pick out the chapel, I trust her judgement. Yes...yes, tell her that is exactly the type of dress I want. Right. The one she and I looked at back in Palm Beach.

I don't know. Hang on.

*turns to Eric*

You need a tux or are you going with your dress uniform?

*mouths the words*

They are being really good about this so either they'll blow up later or things are cool.

*surprised*

Probably a tux, it'd look funny if I went back to the base and walked off with my dress blues.

*to her Mom who's taken over the phone*

Eric needs a tux. Yeah, that sounds about right. Thanks, Mom. Yes, we're sure we want to do this tonight. Ok, how is this? You guys are being amazingly cool about this so if you want to plan a big reception for friends and family, that is all yours and Eric and I will show up when you tell us too. I don't know. I'll have to discuss that with him.

Yes, Mom. Ok. I'll see you guys soon. Thanks.

*hangs up*

Oh my God. Seriously, he was all, you're going to do this with or without me and I was like, yeah, so he said fine. But that he hoped we understood what kind of committment we were making and that he'll want to talk to you. Probably the break her heart and I can disect you while you're still alive speech.

[eric_st_james]

Thats gonna be fun. Look forward to that.

*smiles ruefully*

I don't know how Morganns gonna react. I'm pretty sure the whole what part of not leaving town let alone the state didn't I get. And then um theres the afterwards. i don't know about the living arrangements. It not anything I ever looked into before. And man, the paperwork. Plenty of that.

*looks over andsmiles at her*

Sorry. Went off on a tangent.

[summer_blake]

Mom asked about the living arrangements too. If you were going to stay on the base or move into the house until we got military housing. Do me a favor, if my mom hits on you? Tell me.

*tucks her hair behind her ear*

Are you okay with Captain Morgann getting upset?

[eric_st_james]

*looks at her funny*

Baby? Why would your mom hit on me?

*thoughtful*

I don't know if he'd be upset so much as you can't really keep it a secret that you broke regs when you come back all married up and stuff. He won't be able to hide this from the higher ups. But I'll deal, it'll be cool. *smiles over at her*
