Seems all the authors are in the wedding mood! I already did a Wheeler and Linka wedding, but I had this idea to do different chapters about the emotions of the different characters and their thoughts leading up to the wedding. They never thought this day would happen.

Our Best Friend's Wedding
Gi lets out a sigh as she stands in front of the bathroom mirror of her hotel room, absentmindedly applying her make up while thinking about where the time had gone. Had it really been ten years since she had first joined the Planeteers? And look how far they have come. They are no longer "officially" Planeteers. They are civilians who still do their part to save the planet…not by fighting Eco Villains, but by doing the simple things necessary to reduce, reuse, and recycle. They have each gone their separate ways, one by one. Now, she's here in this Russian hotel room, getting ready to fulfill her role as Matron of Honor in her best friend's wedding…Gi is happy to return the favor since Linka was the Maid of Honor in her wedding. Gi steps back and looks in the mirror, thankful that she had lost all the weight since having the baby so her dress fits perfectly. She wishes her husband and little girl could be here right now. She would have loved for her friends to see her beautiful baby girl. She still can't believe she's here. When did they stop being kids and turn into adults?
It started when Gi's parents announced that they were looking towards retirement and cutting back on their research. They told Gi that they wanted her to take over as the head of their research facility, but she would need to go to school to get a proper education. So Gi made the difficult decision to say goodbye to her friends and leave the Planeteers for college.
Gi went to the window and looked out at the streets below her. The red head running up the steps to the hotel caught her attention immediately. She had been wondering how he was holding up.
"Looks like Wheeler needed to blow off a little steam…some nervous energy perhaps?" she thought to herself.
Gi's phone rang and as soon as she saw that it was her husband, she picked it up. They had chatted for quite some time when Gi realized that she was going to be late.
"Oh no! I have to go! I was supposed to be in Linka's room 15 minutes ago to help her get ready!"
Gi wrapped up her conversation, left her room, and rushed down the hall. She saw Wheeler leaving his room and was about to knock on Linka's door.
"Oh no you don't!" She says.
"I need to see her," he says.
"You can wait until she's walking down the aisle like everyone else has to!"
"No, this can't wait. Please Gi. I need to do this."
"Wheeler…," Gi sighs, then relents. "She's going to get mad at you."
"What's she gonna do? Not marry me?! Please Gi…just gimme a few minutes…if she wants me to leave, I'll go."
"Fine, but don't take too long. I'm already late. She's going to kill me. You know what a spaz she is about being prepared!"
"I won't be long. I just wanna tell her how much I love her."
"Oh Wheeler...she already knows...she always has."
"Thanks Gi...I really needed to hear that."
To Be Continued...up next, Ma-Ti.
