((KJ, I still posted on the Overall thread, but I thought I'd get this started, too. It's about time, right? xD ((Ohhh, can you BELIEVE IT?? I mean, after more than HALF A YEAR, it's finally HAPPENING!!! )) The small Vegas church was a flurry of activity. Partners Ty Parsec and Fop Doppler – and Booster and XR – were in a rush to finish preparations under the frantic directions of Cadet Petra Hammerhold. “Sweet mother of Venus, it’s almost a quarter to!” Petra exclaimed, having lost every bit of her characteristic cool. “Where’re Erin and Warp??” “ Relax, Rookie,” Commander Nebula told her. “They’ll be here shortly. I just got a call from Erin, and she says they’re a couple minutes from here.” “Well,” Petra defended herself, “she needs to change into her dress here, so…” Buzz shook his head as he watched Booster and XR try to string up Christmas lights above the windows. “All this decoration, and yet this place’ll probably become a battlefield in under half an hour.”

After all the missions and playing "Cat and Mouse" with the Rangers, Warp could hardly remember a day when he had this much adrenline pumping through his veins.
Maybe on my first mission with Buzz. Maybe! But if not then, then today's a new record. He was trying really hard not to start bouncing off the walls of ship he'd rented for the ride to the church, and it was definitely becoming more of a challenge the closer they got to the church.
Only a few more minutes.
((I made it!))

((I'm so sorry for my delay guys. I had an eye appointment yesterday...on Black Friday. It was hetic there. And I was uber busy the past few days. Sorry again! I'm going to be one a lot more this weekend since everything seemed to settle down now ^^))
"But it's worth it," Mira said, coming up beside Buzz. "Just think of their faces when they step in here. It'll be better than kids of Christmas."

((Aww, it’s okay, Cherry! Oooo, appointment on Black Friday? I didn’t think that doctors’ offices would be open on Black Friday. =( *pats your shoulder*))
Buzz glanced at his copilot and shrugged. “Well, yeah. But trust me on this one? A decorated site does not make for a good battlefield, and I would know.” That Christmas just two years ago when he and Zurg duked it out on Tradeworld… exhilarating one-on-one, that one, but kinda messy.
Booster and XR’s string of lights fell, and the two Rangers toppled over trying to keep it from falling. Buzz chewed down a grin and glanced at Mira, his blue eyes still dancing with amusement. “Oh well, if you can’t stop ‘em, join ‘em. Wanna help?”
…Warp’s rental…
Erin eyed her husband-to-be and his antsy-ness. She wasn’t antsy herself; she was more… She wasn’t sure. So many different thoughts and emotions were flooding her. Excitement, concern, hope, anxiety, joy, fear, love… And just the tiniest bit of loss. Once again, her life was about to change forever.
She hugged her duffel bag to herself the same way that she so often hugged her books, her sketchpad, and her Bible to her chest. Something about the gesture made her feel more secure. Well, God, here we go. Please stick around, ‘cause we’re sure gonna need You before the night’s out.

Mira shrugged. "Why not? It's not like we have anything better to do before the Bride and Groom gets here." She smiled, taking him arm in hers, practically dragging him over towards the small group of decoraters.

Buzz let himself be pulled along – in the past eighteen months, he’d gotten used to Erin doing it. “Well, I don’t know about that – I think I saw mistletoe around here somewhere.” He grinned boyishly at Mira, then bent down to pick up a box of gold and silver ornament balls.

Mira put down the box she was holding and leaned over on him, eye level with the one and only Lightyear. "Buzz Lightyear, you know darn well there isn't any mistletoe in wedding decorations." She smirked, giving him a knowing look.

((Hehe. My turn to be late.))
Warp took a slid-long glance at the beautiful young woman in his passenger seat. She was hugging the her duffel bag yet again and he could only imagine what she was feeling, but he guessed that it was pretty close his feelings.
"It'll be okay, Erin. We didn't a thumbs up from God for nothing. It will be okay."He turned, giving her hand a slight squeeze. The church was just around the corner.

((Well, well, aren’t we the trio? xDDD))
Buzz gasped in mock astonishment, then shook his head in pretend disappointment. “Mira, Mira, Mira, after all this time, you still underestimate me.” Grinning again, he opened the chest compartment in his suit and withdrew a sprig of mistletoe, dangling it slightly.
“I know,” Erin nodded, not releasing her grip on the duffel. “And I’m okay, too.” She exhaled in a slow puff of air.

Mira shook her head, a little surprised that he had mistletoe hidden in his suit. "I'm beginning to wonder what else you have in that suit, besides a cleverly laid plan to kiss me again."
She smirked, closing in to place her lips lightly against his. "But I have to admit, it's affective." She said, pulling back.

Buzz's eyes fluttered shut briefly as he and Mira kissed again. Wow, was he lucky or what?
"'Course it is," he replied, smirking just a bit. Eh, the man couldn't help it if he was still cocky. "And whatever else is in my suit is for me to know and you to wonder about."

"Okay. Just checking." Warp released his grip and refocused on just getting to the church to start with.
((Yeah, we are.))

Mira raised her eyebrow and nothing more. "Alright! Are you two done? It's like you're more ready for the honeymoon than the Bride and Goom are!" XR yelled across the room, carrying empty boxes over towards the trash.
"XR!" Mira warned. Another marriage proposal thing in one day? It must me destiny.
"First Warp now XR. Whose next, Booster?"

“Aww, but, XR!” Booster protested from across the room. “I think it’s really sweet!”
“Yep. Booster,” Buzz said tiredly. “And next will be Erin, though I’ve got a feeling she’ll be a little more sensitive than the guys.” He stuffed the mistletoe back into his suit and picked up the ornament box again. “C’mon – let’s get these up before the lovebirds get here.”

Warp hummed a nameless tune as they slowly rounded the corner and parked in front of the church. That last red light had taken what felt like an hour to turn green, but it had turned and the rental and its occupants had reached the church that would soon become a landmark to all present.
"We're here." He stated the obvious after shutting off the ignition and stuffing the keys into his suit.
