Prologue

---------------------------------------------------------

Jade looked up from her rather glum demeanor. This was supposed to be a happy day, yet for some reason, it wasn't. Everybody was there: Pey'J, the kids, Double H, Hahn, Mei, The Governor... even Secundo transported himself into a separate holographic machine to witness this firsthand. The outside of the Lighthouse was decorated with the most beautiful shades of blue and white, and there were even some flowers planted in the form of a road to where Lighthouse's lone tree stood watch. A table was set near the door to the hangar with a four-story high cake, some champagne and the most beautiful white flowers ever seen. Jade herself didn't look too bad, either. Just exiting the Lighthouse, the rays of the sun accentuated all the glitter adorning her simple-yet-beautiful dress.

Her simple-yet-beautiful wedding dress.

Jade's wedding dress was kind of a tight fit, but she really was never into those open dresses that weight a ton and make you look like you have too much behind...

'Wait, what's going on?' Jade suddenly asked herself when she realized this just wasn't any old wedding. This was her wedding. But when did this happen? When was she engaged in the first place? All this did not add up to Jade, who was pressured to continue down the road of roses and meet whomever she was to marry at the makeshift altar by the tree. Jade, however, was thinking quite the opposite. She wanted to run down to the Hangar, take the hovercraft and hightail it out of there. Something, however, didn't let her move anyway but forward.

She was in panic.

Something was definitely not right, and she definitely needed to understand what it was. Besides, it wasn't like she had no choice but to move to the altar and begin this wedding already. As she walked and as she passed the various guests, she made her mind: she was not going to let this wedding take place until it was all clear. As she passed her Uncle Pey'J, she could notice he was fighting hard to hold his tears, seeing his little girl transform into a full-grown woman.

Already upon the altar, Jade subconsciously dropped her gaze upon the sillouette of her possible groom. Suddenly, all her resolution, all her questions, all her second-guessing melted away from her. The groom gently took Jade's chin and slowly raised her head until they made eye contact. She then understood, for the guy just inches away from her...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

The scream echoed through all the Lighthouse, and even reached several nearby ships and even the Mammago Garage. As soon as he heard the scream, Pey'J sumbled out of his bed and bolted to where the scream had produced... Jade's room.

"Jade!" Pey'J called out his adoptive niece, as if trying to calm her down. "Jade, what's the matter? Calm down, girl. Tell me what happened?"

Jade took a couple of deep breaths to calm down before she even tried to say a word. "Uncle, I... I... I just... saw something in my dreams."

"Yes? Yes? go on."

"And, well... I was outside, and you were there... and everybody was there... and... and..."

"Uh-huh. what else?"

"And, well... I... I was... I was..."

"On with it, girl!" Pey'J demanded, growing impatient.

"And I was... getting... married."

Pey'J's worried face dropped within a second and was immediately replaced by a dead-serious look that could kill anybody. "And you woke me up for that? Jade, are you that afraid of marriage?"

"Well, it's not that, Uncle, but..."

"Wait a minute..." Pey'J interruped Jade when a thought crossed his mind, and he suddenly went wide-eyed (well, as wide-eyed as Pey'J can get, anyway). "Are you doing stuff behind my back? Have you been sneaking off with someone?"

"What?" Jade asked indignant. "NO! I'd never do such a..."

"Cause if you do such a thing behind my back, you can be sure it'll sting you in the ass pretty bad. And I'm not even talking about what I'd do." Pey'J spat angrily, not even sure himself what took over him when saying those words.

Jade just looked at Pey'J with a never-moving gaze and open mouth. Did she just hear what she thought she heard? As long as she had memory, Pey'J had never even threatened to hit her, spank her, or even punishing her with her supper. When did that new chapter of Pey'J's become public like that?

"Uncle Pey'J, trust me. I haven't done a single thing that deserves your distrust in any way. I just had a dream, that's all." Or a nightmare, she muttered under her breath.

"Well, that's good to hear, then." Pey'J said with a noticeably calmer demeanor. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be going back to bed. My back is killing me right now."

"Ok. good night, Uncle Pey'J."

"You too, Jade. Sleep well."

Except she didn't. She couldn't sleep at all. That dream was haunting her for the rest of the night. The dream itself was a shock to her, but somehow, she knew this meant something else... something deeper than what she saw there. It wasn't helping that she already forgot some pieces of the dream, but tried to hold on to as much as possible. Finally, she simply decided to write as much as she remembered down. When she was finished, she turned off all lights and eventually dozed off to sleep.

Chapter 1 coming soon. R&R, y'all!
