After the first horrid try at getting through a wedding alive (and nearly dying because of it), Leif and Jasmine managed to get married.
"Oh Leif" Jasmine sighed as she and Leif repaired the window that had been broken last night in a terrible storm.
"Yes Jasmine?" Leif asked.
"Why do things always go wrong for us?" Jasmine asked.
"What? The window? Oh Jasmine, that's nothing!" Leif said.
"No, not the window, just…well…everything else." Jasmine explained.
Leif laughed and captured Jasmines lips in his.
"I don't know" he said.
Jasmine sighed and picked up a piece of glass so they wouldn't step on it.
"But I do know that some things do go right for us. I am sure you do to. Right?" Leif said.
"Yes of coarse I do." Jasmine said.
"Good." Leif said before pushing her onto her back, crawling over her, and kissing her passionately.
Jasmine wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. Leif moaned in pleasure. They rolled so that Jasmine was on top of him and bumped into the bookshelf, knocking it over.
Jasmine laughed and stood up. Leif followed suit and together they picked up the bookshelf and began placing books on it.
"Told you." Jasmine said.
"What?" Leif asked, perplexed.
"Things always go wrong for us." Jasmine grinned as Leif wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck.
"Let's pick this up later." Leif said, picking Jasmine up and carrying her to the bedroom and closing the door.
Two
days later Leif was in the Library reading a book he had gotten into.
Marilynn was a couple shelves away organizing books with Josef by her
side. Suddenly, a stranger walked in and moved over to the other side
of the shelf that Marilynn was working with.
"Mama, I wanna go outside" Josef whined.
"When daddy comes maybe he'll take you." Marilynn said patiently.
"Okay mama" Josef sighed. Marilynn laughed but suddenly stopped. Leif looked up briefly then went back to his reading.
"Is something wrong mama?" Josef asked.
"Oh, no dear." Marilynn said.
Just as the door opened and Jasmine and Ranesh walked in the shelf Marilynn was working with groaned loudly.
Leif looked up from his book and Ranesh and Jasmine froze.
"Was that the shelf?" Leif asked.
"Yes it was." Marilynn said.
"Is it tired mama?" Josef asked.
"Probably is. Hasn't been replaced in years." Ranesh said.
Leif-taking the hint-said "I'll look into it."
"Thanks…" Marilynn started but then she screamed as the shelf fell on top of her and Josef. The stranger made to sprint out of the room but only got halfway out before jasmine tackled him. Leif and Ranesh ran to the shelf, picked it up off the two, and moved to see if they were okay.
"What is wrong with you?" Jasmine yelled at the stranger.
Barda, Doom, Sharn, Lindal, and a couple of guards sprinted into the room. Two of the guards took the stranger from Jasmine. Marilynn sat up, grabbed Josef, and made sure he was okay before standing up and leaning on Ranesh. The guards took the stranger away.
"Are you okay Marilynn?" Ranesh asked.
"Yes."
"And you Josef?"
"Uh-huh."
