Chapter 10: Planning a Big, Part-alien Wedding
"So what do you think, Gwen, would you prefer a normal human wedding or an exciting alien wedding?", her grandfather asked them curiously.
Max Tennyson, Verdona, Gwen and Ben's parents, and even Kevin and Julie's parents were all gathered up in Gwen's living room to plan about their marriage. Verdona didn't seem unhappy about her losing their deal, but actually she doesn't seem to show any emotion at this time. Gwen and Kevin had been studying Verdona's reaction and movements towards their engagement but it was not understandable.
"I'd like to try an alien wedding, sounds like fun, Jules?", Ben suggested to her girlfriend but she just gave him a quizzical look.
"What exactly is the difference between an alien and a human wedding?", she asked curiously to all of them.
Their parents seem to gathered up different magazines about their suits and invitations. They didn't really agree with each other as they argued uncontrollably with Ben's tuxedo and Gwen's wedding dress. Kevin glanced at Gwen, letting her know that he wasn't enjoing this and she whispered, 'I Know'. They even hired a professional wedding organizer for the two couples.
He was measuring Kevin's arms and waist for the tux. Ben was done just a while ago.
"You seem to exercise well, do you? You could become a supermodel if you wanted to. Fit for a beautiful girl, you are", the organizer complimented as he busied himself with writing the measurements.
Kevin seemed awkward by the compliment and Gwen and Ben just grinned at him widely. This day isn't getting very well.
"Kevin's too lazy to exercise. It's only natural for him to have that kind of body. Just Look at me", Ben boasted jokingly to him as Kevin smirked at him.
"Yeah right, Ben. Only a weirdo will drool over your natural body", he remarked as Julie glared at him angrily," No offense, Julie", he said to her.
Gwen picked that moment to speak before Ben could open up his mouth to argue.
"What is an alien wedding?", she asked enough for their grandparents to hear.
"Oh, it's the greatest wedding you could ever dreamed of. The ceremony is most likely in your home planet, but it involves certain things. Then follows the reception", she explained carefully picking the right words.
"But it's totally like a human wedding", Gwen said.
"No, the ceremony involves giving your spouse some of yourself", Max replied to her granddaughter's curious look.
"How's that?", Julie asked with the same look as Gwen.
"Well, you can give him some of your powers or if none, your blood. The minister will perform something then it will become a ring that will bind you forever. It means either of you will give and take throughout yous lives, with no deception. Plus, you need 3 life helpers for the groom and the bride", he explained while everyone hang on every word.
"Dad, how come you never told us that?", Frank asked him, curiously.
"We have our reasons, son", Verdona replied, looking directly at Gwen's mother, Lily.
"What kind of helpers is that?", Ben asked while Kevin sat beside Gwen after he finished being measured.
"Well, there's the Binder, the Protector, and the Keeper. They will help you throughout your lives to keep your marriage and future family safe and happy. The binder will help if there's too many problems between you and mainly keeping away the risk of breaking up , the protector will try to keep the family away from harm and the keeper will be the one to bring luck to the family and mainly a personal secret keeper", Max explained.
"That's really weird being an alien", Kevin said, knowing there's too much work to be done. Gwen and I would have a seizure.
"You are an alien, Kevin. So what do you think?", Gwen asked him talking about the big alien wedding.
"I don't know. It sounds complicated", Kevin replied.
"Oh, not to worry, we already prepared it. You just have to think of the place and the helpers .We'll take care of the lot", Verdona suggested as she smiled in delight.
Ben, Julie, Gwen and Kevin looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.
"Great!", Their parents agreed on as they busied themselves once again with the magazines.
The team hanged out at Mr. Smoothie letting their folks work on their engagement. Gwen and Julie's father had already talked about their rules to Kevin and Ben about caring for their daughters. Kevin and Ben looked intimidated about it. It involves no touching until and unless they're 35 and so on and so forth.
Kevin sighed," So whose your helpers?", he asked them as he sipped his smoothie, watching Gwen do the same.
"Well, we figured you could be the protector", he replied nonchalantly.
"Sure", Kevin replied coolly. Ben stood up, surprised.
"What? No angry response, no beatings, no bargain or anything?", he asked, impressed.
"I told you Kevin keeps changing everyday", Gwen said proudly.
"Nah, I just thought Ben could be our protector in return", he said as he went for some chilly fries.
"Oh, that makes sense", Ben said sitting down next to Julie again.
"Hey, Ben and I figured Eunice can be our Binder. She's really good at talking. She can be our personal balance keeper when there's an argument", Julie told them while Gwen agreed.
"But our helpers can't be around us all the time. Remember that we can solve our own problems even without them only when things go out of hand", Gwen reminded them and they all agreed.
"Alright, let's finish this up. Hey Gwen, how about ours?", he asked.
"Well, there's Emily, and Julie or Cooper, don't forget him", she said thinking of all their friends.
"Don't forget Argit", he said jokingly.
"Seriously?", Gwen asked angrily.
Ben and Julie laughed as Kevin looked at them.
"Okay so let's check", Kevin said as Gwen wrote it down:
Ben and Julie-(Binder)Eunice, (Protector) Kevin Levin, (Keeper) Gwen Tennyson
Gwen and Kevin- (Binder)Cooper Daniels, (Protector) Ben Tennyson, (Keeper) Julie Yamamoto
"Works for me. Is that it?", Kevin asked as they went back to his car.
"No, there's still the location", Gwen said, tired from their days work.
Before they could all go to their respective houses, their plumbers badges glowed angrily.
"I know the perfect place", Ben said before they all went to where the alien activity was.
