Day 29

Disclaimer: I can't believe it's almost the end of the month!…and yet I still have to do this!


The newly-wed bride and groom stood together, Dex's arm wrapped around her waist and joining his hands in hers. Ever so carefully, they brought the knife down through their self-created cake as they cut through the frosting, the crowd erupting into applause.

"Yes," Jane cheered as the knife cut the entire cake and she immediately through her hands up in the air and wrapped them around her new husband. With fingers covered in red and brown cake, she kept them carefully distant from his perfectly-in-place hair as he pulled her in for a kiss.

"We still have to eat the cake," he murmured through the kiss. She pulled away quickly, placing that mockingly thoughtful look that Dex always found adorable. They faced the cake together and cut two perfect squares, each holding one in their hands. Facing the large group that hand gathered around the cake table to watch the amusing act, Jane and Dex held up the delicious deserts for all the cameras before promptly shoving the squares in each other's mouths. In a blur of crumbs, their lips were covered in frosting and cake as the lights from multiple cameras blinded them.

Jane brought her hand around his waist while subtly wiping the cream from her chin with a napkin. From the corner of her eyes she could see Tung's video camera hiding his chubby face.

"I think it's time this wedding was wrapped up," Dex whispered to her. He had already noticed a few people leaving and as Jane moved her head around the room, she began to notice the crowd thinning out too.

"Shall we head off then?" she said slyly as she held out her arm. He took it immediately as he smiled back to her.

"We shall," the newly-weds made their way through the crowd to the wedding party table where the other members of Hamilton Habitat had returned to.

"We're going to head off," Dex announced to everyone, who all nodded in agreement.

"Have fun," Tung applauded as he pulled Bream away from the group. The fish girl flicked her head back around to catch the gaze of the bride and waved her hand gingerly. Jane smiled in response. He is very cute when he's trying to impress.

"Are you sure you don't want to change your mind?" Winston questioned on a serious matter, but Dex simply shook his head.

"No thanks Dad, I tried once and I didn't enjoy it. Plus Sam would miss us," the bride pulled his arm closer in a hug at the mention of the cricket's name. The older man simply shrugged before smiling and giving Dex a firm handshake.

"Congratulations again, son," he spoke with a proud sense about him.

Dex smirked as a warm feeling spread through him. "Thanks dad," Winston kissed Jane's hand in his charming way before returning to his chair. Zap and Jenny walked up to the bride and groom to bid their farewells.

"Have a good time you two," Zap congratulated when he stepped forward. Dex in return gave him a handshake while Jane and Jenny hugged.

"You too," he replied slyly, his eyes darting over to Jenny, causing Zap to blush.

"We're going to go to," the pilot gestured bashfully to Jenny, Dex giving him an amused grin. "The valets parked the ship down the block so we're going to walk."

Without another word, the two headed out the door and into the night.


"A limo?" Jane stated in shock as she looked at the hover ship in front of her. Dex held open the back door for her to get in.

"I figured we do this properly, take a fancy ship back home," he proclaimed with pride. Jane shot him an impressed look as she slid into the back seat.

"So…that's it," Jane exclaimed, not in a way to say the she was upset that the wedding was over, but in a way to say that she was proud to have spent the day with Dex. The groom draped his arm around his bride with a content nod.

"Yep," he replied quietly as their ride lifted in to the air.

"It was a beautiful wedding," Jane mumbled as she pouted her lips to him. He took the hint, immediately kissing her back. Their moment was interrupted when Jane heard a noise.

"What is that?" Jane questioned as she heard small explosions from outside. Dex looked out his window, a huge toothy grin spreading on his lips.

"Look," Jane leaned forward to the side window that Dex was seated next to. To her surprise, the sky had become littered with colours as fireworks exploded over the planet. She returned to her seat next to Dex with an enthralled expression.

"This wedding really was perfect," he mumbled in to her hair as she rested her head on his shoulder. "Our future generations will be talking about this for a long time."

The entomologist pulled Jane closer, the two embracing once again before the bride pulled herself from him, her hands still resting on his chest.

"Wait, wait," Jane whispered as their eyes met once again. "Are…are you thinking about kids?"


Cliffhangers! Woo! Shame you won't see anything else from these two for the rest of the month (like 2 days) so, huh, what do you think? Also, can some people drop off some ideas? I might be set until the 10th of Feb, but after that it's blank. I need your help! R&R!
