Well school is out. That means more time for more story! I made up some stuff about Leena's mom here since it was never said what her current condition was in the show, much like Jaime's dad (until later). I Figure grown women weren't the biggest fans of giant robot battles in general, so she stuck with a more sedentary lifestyle. Hopefully it is to your liking.

"Hey it's me, look I'm real sorry babe, I just went a little too far the other night."

"Who the hell is this?" Leena replied, still glowing from her encounter earlier but confused at this phone call.

"It's Mark…from last night?" Armstrong said growing frustrated.

"Ohhh…I forgot all about that since afterwards I…well anyways…leave me alone, you're not invited to the wedding!" She hung up.

'Well shit…there goes the easy way in, now how the hell am I supposed to set up the surprise the Commander had ready for them?' Armstrong thought to himself.

Meanwhile…

Bit walked to the breakfast table with a smile and a hum.

"Hey Bit, what are you so cheery about?" Brad inquired.

Bit only continued.

"Wait. You didn't…"

"Didn't what?" Toros asked entering the room. Bit stopped his humming right away.

"Oh nothing, just talking about that skirmish at the party last night, haha…" Bit tried to convince him.

Brad gave an eyebrow but quickly added. "…Yeah, you're right, I gave him that kick in the ass after all." Bit gave a 'Thank you' look.

"Oh…right. I wish you guys could be less violent though."

"What's a good ass kicking out of the Zoids once in a while for the ol' Blitz team?" Brad stated. Toros gave an 'idunno' look and gave up.

Leena walked in smiling "Hey Bit that was a great fu-" she stopped dead when she noticed the others with their confused looks and Brad with his hand over his mouth, holding back a complete outburst of laughter. "Uh…fight you had last night…yeah." She went to grab a seat and Brad whispered "Nice one" earning him a slap in the back of the head.

"So exactly when do you two want to have the big day?" Inquired Jamie.

"Hmm, guess we haven't really thought about it." Replied Bit.

"Well, it depends on how large you want it to be." Toros chimed in.

"Well I don't care much for churches, how about outside?" Leena said.

"I'm down with that." Bit replied.

'That will probably be the cheapest' Toros thought. "Ok, outside it is!" He said out loud.

"Because it's cheap right?" Everyone else said simultaneously. Toros smiled to hide his embarrassment.

"And dad, please don't invite all those people, I hardly remember half of them." Leena added.

"Ok, how about just us, your brother and mom?" Toros responded.

"Yeah, mom's never away from her research but she'll have no choice this time!" Leena said, excited.


A few days later, Toros took Leena out shopping for the wedding essentials.

"Hey Bit, why didn't you go too?" Jamie inquired.

"Well, I figure she could pick out everything she wanted, it's not like my opinion has that great a weight, the details are more important to her anyways." Bit said.

"Oh, I know what you mean…Well what's it like? Are you really ready to tie the knot?" Jamie asked.

"Of course! There's nothing else I want more." Bit said with certainty.

"Well that's good; I guess you of all people would be certain of what you want." Jamie said.

"…so who's going to be the Best Man?"

"Me of course!" Brad said stepping into the room.

"Now, now guys…"

"C'mon Bit, who's got your back in every fight?" Brad said as-a-matter-of-factly.

"Me! I handle the communications, and when the time calls for it…"

"Hey guys, I think the best way to settle this would be with a game of rock/paper/scissors." Bit interrupted.

"Fine with me!" The two of them said and they got into an overly dramatic stance.

"Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!" Jamie had paper, Brad had rock.

"Yeah I win!" Brad said with triumph.

"Have you played this before? Paper beats rock!" Jamie retaliated.

"What kind of stupid rule is that? How can a piece of paper beat a rock? The rock would tare that crap apart!" Brad yelled back. The two kept at it for a while, Bit stood by with a fake smile. Eventually Brad would concede defeat, but not without standing to his point that 'Rock's #1' and 'Paper is for sissies.'

The phone rang, it was Toros. "Hey guys, we were wondering what size to get for the best man's suit?...Speaking of which, who's the best man?"

"It's Jamie, I'll hand the phone to him…" Bit said. He walked over to give Jamie the phone but was interrupted by a ground shaking explosion. He dropped the phone.

"Crap, what the hell was that?" He yelled.

"Felt like an explosion in the bottom rear compartment, by the engines!" Jamie yelled, running over to the main console. "Crap the sensors aren't working. We'd better go check it out, could be very bad news." He said and the three of them headed to the ground floor.

"Suckers!" Armstrong said as he sneaked into the craft. He planted some listening devices.

"Well that's perfect, easy prey." Armstrong said. "The Commander will love this." He left quickly as he came. The team soon came back up.

"Well it wasn't as bad as I thought; I'm still not sure what caused the explosion..." Jamie said reluctantly.

"Well at least it won't cost us an engine." Brad said. Toros and Leena came back a while later to see the hole in the back.

"What the hell!" Toros yelled. He heard Jaime's story and decided it wasn't too bad, equally confused as to the cause of the explosion.

"Well I'll order some paneling tomorrow to repair the hull and some new sensors-" Toros said.

"..But the important part!" Leena interrupted. "We did all the essential shopping. Bit what do you think about this?..." She continued, dragging Bit away from the group. They discussed the details, unaware of the listening ears. The big day would be in a month.

"Perfect, I'll report all these details to the Commander." He said. "Now to destroy these devices, they'll have those sensors replaced tomorrow and will eventually be able to detect these bugs." With the press of a button, the devices disintegrated quietly and unnoticeably. He forwarded his findings to Brannigan.

"Excellent work, Lt. I want you to set a trap for them. This is revenge, don't be afraid of killing anyone, particularly…" Brannigan continued from the other end of the line.

"Understood, Commander, I won't fail you." He hung up and drove off from the outskirts of the Blitz team's base.


There you have it. Two plans set in motion for 1 day taking place in a month. Whose plan will be seen through to the end? Will Brad really let Jaime be the Best Man?
