Day 26

Happy Australia Day mate!

Disclaimer: Hey guess what…I own something in this! I take full credit in owning the planet Pyma, no matter how insignificant it is. I own something!

This was it.

The big day.

Dex was about to become a married man, and although he was feeling slightly nervous, he was doing…ok…

"What do you mean there's no fuel in the ship?" Dex raked his hands though his hair as he shouted his question. Zap, who was casually leaning on the large computer desk simply shrugged Dex off while continuing to type on his wristcom.

"Relax," he said as he stood up and paid attention to the panic-stricken groom. "Tung and I just need to refill it and we'll head off."

The pilot left the room in a casual stroll, leaving the leader breathing heavily and his heart pounding.

Zap walked out the door slowly, but once he was in the corridor, he bolted down to the supply room to find the fuel and the frog boy along the way. It had been a few weeks since Zap's fiasco during the bachelor party, and most things had returned to normal. Tung is always quick to forgive, and even quicker to forget. Although things had been incredibly awkward, Jenny had only recently started talking to him again, in very short and infrequent doses. His role as best man had not been restored, but he felt it was a fair punishment, plus he was going to try and make up for it today by doing everything that Winston couldn't.

"Tung?" Zap called as soon as he reached the supply room. He was greeted by the frog boy poking his head out from behind a large metal barrel.

"Yo dude, could you give me a hand with this?" Tung moaned as he attempted to push the heavy container in from of him. Zap moved around to the back and with the tracker's help, managed to drag the barrel all the way down to the fuel tank.

"What are you guys doing?" Dex questioned when his team came into view. Zap and Tung exchanged looks.

"We're just about to fill the tank," Zap explained, resulting in a shake of the head from Dex.

"Hurry please; Jane wanted us there in half an hour so we have three hours before the ceremony," both employees raised their eyebrows questioningly at Dex. The leader allowed his shoulders to drop as the words processed in his head.

"You're right, we have plenty of time," he agreed rationally before practically jumping at the container of fuel. "Let's just, be quick with this."

The ship hummed to life once the fuel had been replenished and within no time, the ship was on its course to Pyma where the huge wedding was going to take place. The groom finally looked relaxed, although the tension in his shoulders was visible through his entomologist uniform.

Minutes, or what felt like hours to Dex, rolled past and almost instantly, thanks to the amazing technology and development of the thirty first century, the groom and the male members of the wedding party had arrived on time.

"So, ready to get married son?" Winston gave Dex a hearty slap on the shoulder as all the guys exited the ship. His body quivered under the unexpected action, or at least that's what he told everyone.

"Sure," he mumbled slightly before turning around to his support team. A grin began to grow on his face. "It's just another adventure. Tung, could you bring the suits into the dressing room?"

"I don't have the suits, dude," Tung shrugged his shoulders with his palms facing up to prove to Dex that his hands were empty.

"Well, could you get them from the ship please. You have the keys right?" the colour seemed to drain instantly from Tung's face as he slowly shook his head. If you were standing close enough, you could've seen the beads of sweat rolling down the groom's forehead.

Oh no, please anything but that. Oh my gosh no!

"How can someone lock the keys in the ship!" Dex yelled angrily as he pulled on the door. Winston was searching for the locker on the outside of the ship that possibly held a spare toolbox, and Zap was on the top of the ship. Tung had been sent by Zap to ask Jenny if she had any useful tools for them to use.

"Zap! Can you transform into your beetle and tear the ship open. We'll fix it later," the pilot's tiny head popped out from above the leader.

"It's not exactly that easy to control," he explained as he flew down to the entomologist's level. Dex continued to slam his fists at the door without success.

Tung waddled back to the craft, Jenny running beside him. Zap couldn't help but stammer when he saw her.

"Whoa," his eyes wandered down her silk red halter dress as it flowed beautifully around her figure.

"Who locks keys in the ship?" she questioned in the same tone of voice as Dex.

"Now's not the time for questions Jenny," Dex corrected as his eyes darted around the door. Luckily for him and rest of the wedding party, Jenny always carried a handy screw driver with her in case of emergencies like this.

Tung came out of the ship door with the four covered suits flung over his shoulder. Dex turned to Jenny, gratitude evident on his face.

"Thank you," he hugged her quickly, but she immediately shrugged him off.

"Don't thank," she yelled as she ran away from the team. "Just get ready."

The boys moved off without a second thought, each one grabbing their suit and hurrying into the large, white manor house.

Jenny closed the door behind her to the bride's dressing room, panting as she leaned her back against the wall. Bream, dressed in the same outfit and Jane in her huge bridal gown, raised their eyebrows at Jenny.

"It's all right, the guys locked their suits in the ship, but they've got them now," she reassured, walking over to both girls.

"Oh thank God," Jane placed a hand over her heart. "You got me worried then."

Jenny walked towards the champagne bottle, shaking her head with a smirk. "Don't worry, let's just get this day done as smooth as possible," she spoke as she poured three glasses of the bubbly liquid. Jane was about to bring the drinks up to her lips before she stopped herself to speak, a smirk growing quickly.

"I guess we don't have to tell the guys about how we almost lost the rings."

Next chapter is the ceremony! So excited! Hope you enjoyed this one and don't forget to send in your ideas. R&R!
