[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.

"Besides," Rodney interjected, as a brilliant idea had just occurred to him, "We can have more than one ceremony!" He beamed. "We can have one now then have another one and everyone can come and celebrate us getting married!"

It was a good idea, he was pretty sure. He looked at Jill. "What do you think, Jillums?"
