Day 195

I can't believe how far I'm in to this story. I really need to write future chapters though while I'm still on holidays.

Rest in peace to Cory Monteith; that was a bit of a shock. Glee just won't be the same.

Disclaimer: I disclaim everything, I claim nothing.

Inside Jenny's room was Zap, seated on the edge of the bed and looking around nervously. He felt weirdly out of place in the perfectly arranged room, yet oddly enough, it felt so right. He was just about to leave in search for Jenny, when the clone strolled in to the bedroom, clad in a bathrobe with a towel neatly wrapped around her head.

"Hey fiancé," the bug boy greeted with a smile, standing up to her level. Jenny furrowed her brow.

"Huh?" she questioned, a smile growing on her lips by the second. "Oh yeah, I guess technically I would be your fiancé."

He noticed the way her eyes dropped and her shoulders slump as she moved across the room.

"Is everything ok?"

"Yeah," the girl droned, screwing up her nose in thought. She busied herself in her cupboard, sighing frequently. "It's just…"

"What?" he asked with concern, walking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist.

"The other girls are getting wedding intense," she began with a giggle, resting her hands on his. "They want to check out dresses and venues and…and so many flowers! I told them what we had kind of discussed and they looked horrified. It made me feel really guilty."

"Well that's not right," Zap spoke as Jenny turned around in his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Remind them that it's your day or whatever and only agree to the things you want."

"I know but it's hard to say it to them," she began, her eyes dropping slowly in sadness. "But I just try and think about what we wanted; a ceremony in one of the habitats at dusk, surrounded by only the team, no bridesmaids or best friends, no cake-" Zap made a gagging noise at the mention, to which Jenny instinctively moved away.

She sighed again. "And with every new book or planner they show me I can feel our image fading away."

"That's not going to happen," he whispered, tilting her head up by her chin. "Bring me next time; I'm an expert on saying no."

"I can say no," the clone snapped, but her eyes softened immediately. Zap however, was unaffected by the change in attitude. "It's just; I don't think I'd be able to do anything without their help. I don't want it to be a complete dud."

"Whatever you do, it'll be perfect," he murmured, kissing her forehead before moving past her in to the bathroom.

"Uh, I just hate this," complained Jenny, resting her back against the wall. "I've never had to worry about something like this, and then it's all shoved in your face at once…" she heard a faint whisper on the other side of the door, as though he were about to speak. "…and don't you say we have plenty of time; I don't want to postpone a wedding so that we become one of those couples that stay engaged forever."

He emerged from the door and rested his back against the wall next to her. "We'll just take it one day at a time; everything should fall in to place."

She nodded her head slightly, before furrowing her brow in thought. "Since when are you so level-headed?"

"Oh I'm not," he said, as they both moved towards the bed. "But you make me. And just knowing that we're going to be spending the rest of our lives together makes everything feel normal. The wedding is only one day."

The engineer smiled at his words, kissing him goodnight as she turned out the lights.

"Goodnight."

Was struggling with how to end this one, but I like the start. Really getting in to wedding plans now, though I have no idea what tomorrow's chapter should be. R&R!
