What on Earth am I thinking? Why am I actually starting a Season 7? WTH? But I guess I did promise that I would at least write Six and Rebecca's wedding. So I'm going to start and see where this goes. I only have vague plans (unlike my other seasons) and as many of you know my imagination is a strange place… Hope you like it.
I do not own…
"Oh, Becca, you look beautiful." Beverly said misty eyed.
"It's the nicest one you've tried on." Circe agreed.
"Thanks, Bev, Circe." Rebecca looked at herself in the tri-fold mirror in the store. "I think this is it. I don't even need to have it altered." She added as she twirled the white dress around.
"About time you picked something." Rex groaned from the sofa. It earned him a glare from all three ladies.
"Rex, you didn't have to come." Circe reminded him.
"Ugh, hanging out with Six is even more boring." Rex complained. "Besides, you said you wanted help carrying things. I'm good at that."
"But not good at keeping your mouth shut." Circe glared at him.
"It's so boring…" Rex threw his head against the back of the sofa. "Hey, did you know there are mirrors on the ceiling?" He began making faces. "I can see up my nose."
"Okay, we have twenty minutes before he loses interest." Circe said. "Let's pick out some bridesmaid dresses and get going."
"Oh, I was thinking of these." Beverly pulled out some pale pink asymmetrical dresses.
"Oh, well pink isn't really my color." Circe wrinkled her nose.
"Just try it on." Beverly urged pressing a dress into her hands.
"Fine." Circe walked into the changing room.
"I'm going to change out of this dress." Rebecca walked into her own changing room.
Beverly went into the third changing room. In a few minutes each of the women came out.
"It's not that bad." Circe said reluctantly.
"See, I told you." Beverly said twirling in her dress. She picked up another dress. "There's even one more for Dr. Rhodes."
"Too bad she can't be here for the fitting." Circe said looking at herself.
"She'll be here tomorrow for the bachelorette party." Rebecca smiled.
"Yes, and we've been planning something online all week!" Beverly practically squealed.
"But it better be PG." Rebecca said sternly.
"How about PG-13?" Rex piped up.
The ladies once again stared at him. "Rex, go back to looking at your nose." Circe ordered.
"Already did that. Do you know how big my tonsils are?" Rex tilted his head back and opened his mouth. "Tere hooge."
Circe rolled her eyes.
"Seriously, Bev, I don't want anything… embarrassing at the party." Rebecca said.
"Don't worry." Beverly said dismissively. "Now come on let's pay for these dresses before Rex stops being amused by the mirror."

"I don't want a bachelor party." Six said flatly.
"Of course you have to have a bachelor party. Every guy needs to have a bachelor party before they get the ball and chain." Calan protested.
Even with his shades on, Calan could feel the glare.
"No party." Six turned and walked away.
A screen lit up behind Calan.
"You know the direct approach never works with him." White Knight reminded him.
Calan sighed. "Yeah, but I'd rather not trick him. It'll be my neck."
"Ooo, ooo, can I trick him?" Bobo popped out of nowhere.
"Be my guest. Get him to this address at 8 o'clock tonight." Calan handed Bobo a piece of paper.
"8 o'clock? Why so early grandma?" Bobo snorted.
White Knight and Calan both sent him death looks.
Bobo held up his hands. "Okay, okay. Sheesh, ask a simple question…." He went away grumbling.
Six didn't understand all the fascination with pre-wedding preparations. As far as he was concerned, all you need was the suit, the venue, someone to perform the ceremony, and maybe a cake. He already had the suit, the venue, and a priest. All he was missing was the cake. He was sure they could get one from a baker somewhere… or supermarket even.
The blaring alarms broke him from his thoughts. Making an about face, he ran to the conference room.
White Knight and Calan were already there.
"There seems to be an incident with a UFO rampaging in downtown Dallas. Go take care of it." White Knight ordered.
"On it." Six turned to go.
"Not you!" White snapped. "I was talking to Captain Calan. You have to get ready for your wedding."
"That's in a week." Six protested.
"And if anything happens to you in that time, a certain scientist is going to kill me. So no…" White responded. "I will send Rex to help."
Six stood in his spot as Calan walked past him.
"White, I can still do my job." Six said with an edge in his voice. "This changes nothing."
"I beg to differ. Being married changes everything. It's no longer just you. It's both of you. You can't just think about yourself." With that he signed off leaving Six annoyed.

Rex suddenly sat up. His communicator was beeping. He put his finger on the comlink.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh…okay, got it." Rex looked up as the ladies came with bags. "Sorry, guys. There's some problem… something destroying the city, blah, blah, blah. I've got to go help Calan take care of it."
"Six isn't going, is he?" Rebecca asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, doc. I'm sure White won't let anything happen to the ninja before he can get married." Rex grinned. He snapped on his goggles and formed his Boogie Pack.
"Rex! Not in the store." Rebecca admonished.
"Oh right." Rex's build retracted. He ran outside and reformed his Boogie Pack. They watched him disappear into the air.
"Great, now we have to lug these all the way home." Beverly complained.
"Actually, I'm glad Rex left." Rebecca said. "Since we're here in the city, I was thinking of having a practice session."
"Practice session?" Circe asked.
Rebecca held up her nails. "You know a manicure, pedicure, makeup, hair practice session."
"Ohhh, that's a great idea!" Beverly said enthusiastically. "Like a spa day!"
"Well, I don't know." Circe said uncertainly.
"Oh come on, Circ. It'll be fun." Beverly encouraged her.
"What are we going to do with these packages?" Circe asked holding up her bags.
"I'm sure they can store it for us." Rebecca said. "I don't get much down time."
"Well, sure, whatever the bride wants." Circe agreed.
"Let's go." Rebecca looped her arms around the two younger girls and led them to the nearest salon.

"Try to get under it!" Calan ordered his men.
"Sir, we can't. The lasers are keeping us from getting anywhere near it." One of the grunts replied.
"And its skin is too tough for our guns to penetrate." Another added.
"Then try to lead it away from the populated area." Calan said through gritted teeth.
Before them was a rather formidable looking flying ship. Several silver tentacles reached out and started shredding through some buildings.
"What in sam-hill is it doing?" Calan asked flabbergasted.
"I think it's looking for something." One of the grunts answered.
"It doesn't look like it's doing a very good job searching." Another grunt observed.
"Well, it's destroying the city! We've got to stop it." Calan growled.
"Captain, all the people have vacated the immediate area." A soldier reported.
"At least there's that. Where the heck is back up?" Calan asked.
Just then Rex arrived; he immediately formed his BFS and sliced through the arms. The ship turned and faced him. It fired several missiles at him. Rex dodged them but they destroyed the building behind him.
"Rex!" Calan snapped. "Avoid destroying any more of the city!"
"Hey, that wasn't my fault." Rex protested. While he was distracted another missile hit him in the stomach.
"Ooofff!" His arms automatically grabbed the front. Somersaulting he forced the projectile to fly back at the ship. Just before impact he released it, getting out of the way of the explosion.
"Chalk one up for the good guys." He said smugly. But as the smoke cleared, there wasn't a single dent on the ship. "Hey, what gives?" Rex exclaimed. Cannons popped out of the side of the ship. There was a shower of laser fire. Rex was forced to fly erratically to avoid the barrage but several shots hit his Boogie Pack. It fell apart. He quickly made his Sky Slyder and weaved in and out of the light show. He formed his Blast Caster. Flying closer, he wrapped his whip around one of the cannons. Electricity flowed from the turbine. The ship lit up as energy flowed through Rex's whip. There was an explosion as both Rex and the ship were both repelled backwards. Rex managed to right himself.
"Man this is tougher than I thought." Rex muttered. He landed on a roof of a building. Forming his Slam Cannon, he loaded it with concrete and metal from the edge of the roof.
He fired at the ship. The fodder ripped through one of the engines of the ship. Smoke poured from the gaping hole.
"Yes!" Rex exalted lifting up his arms in triumph. Then just as quickly he dropped them along with his jaw. "What the…" He trailed off as the ship seemed to repair itself.
A larger cannon popped up from the front. It was different than the other ones. A large orange glow appeared as it fired up. A giant fireball erupted from its mouth. It headed straight for Rex.
Calan could only see an orange orb crash into the building that Rex was standing on. When the fire collided there was no sound at first, then all at once the noise and force of the explosion hit those on ground level. Calan's arms went up to shield himself from the debris that flew everywhere. Some of his men were knocked down. Some tanks in the way of the ripple of energy overturned. When the violent wind died down, Calan stared at the devastation before him. A whole city block had been leveled. The ship turned and calmly flew away.
"REX!" He yelled running to where the building had once stood. "REX!" He screamed louder but his voice echoed through the now silent desolate landscape.

Six sliced through several training droids. He was working through some frustration. However, he did not want to admit that he was starting to be worried that this was just a foreshadowing of things to come. He didn't want to be kept off the field just because he was married. Worse he was concerned that Rebecca would want him off active duty. He couldn't even imagine being behind a desk. Before he could contemplate this future further, his sharp ears overheard a communique from outside the door. One of the agents had his radio turned up too high.
"Agent down. We can't find Rex."
There was more but Six didn't bother waiting. He bolted out of the training room and straight to the hanger. He didn't bother checking in with White. He got into his jump jet and flew straight to the incident.
When he arrived, Calan had all the grunts rummaging through the debris. Six noted the flattened buildings around them.
"What happened? "Six didn't bother with the pleasantries.
" Rex was fighting this... ship... and all of the sudden it just blasted the Bejezus out of the building that Rex was standing on." Calan tried to explain.
"Was all this damage from the ship of did Rex do some of it? " Six inquired.
" Mostly the ship. "Calan answered.
" Who's monitoring his biometrics? "Six continued his question.
" Caesar, I believe. "
" Caesar! " Six called into his comlink. When there was no answer, he tried again. " Caesar, if you don't answer so help me I'm going to let Bobo into your workroom."
A second later a calm voice answered. "Something I can help you with Agent Six?"
"Yes, are you monitoring your brother's biometrics? "
" My brother?"
"Yes, your brother Rex. Unless there's another brother I don't know about. " Six said dryly.
" His biometrics are fine... Oh, no, wait. It seems to have dropped. "
" That's because he was just blasted by an unknown force. "Six was losing patience." Can you trace his whereabouts? "
" Hmmm, it says he's around your area. " Caesar commented.
Six took that to mean that Rex was still alive although it's hard to tell from Caesar." Can you be more specific? "
" No." Caesar said bluntly.
"Fine, I'll see what I can do." Six hung up on the scientist. He stepped out into the empty area. Cupping his hands around his mouth, he yelled, "Rex, I'm giving away your game system."
There was silence as a wind blew through the area.
"And I'm giving your room to Bobo... including all your dolls." Six called out.
Again silence until...
"Actionfigures. "
Six almost missed it." Rex? "
Something in the distance moved.
" Over there! "Calan shouted. Grunts ran to the area and began digging.
Six arrived just as the grunts started pulling Rex from the ground.
Rex glared at Six. " They are action figures, not dolls."
A smile tugged at the corner of Six's mouth. "Good to see you too Rex." Then in a stern tone addressed the grunts. "Get him checked out immediately!"
"And you can't give away my game system... ever. I'm going to be buried with it." Rex said to Six.
Six smirked. At least Rex is all right, now to deal with the ship.
So begins season 7. Who was in the space ship? What were they looking for? Let me know if you're interested.
