Written in the Stars: A Destined Romance

Part 33: I'm Getting Married!

Val looked over at her friend, she was just sitting there, "Coffee's getting cold." she grinned.

"Huh? Oh." Elle noticed the coffee in front of her, it was lukewarm by now and everyone in the room was staring at her, everyone except the Worms, who were arguing over which type of coffee to brew next.

"You okay girl?" W laughed, "You've just been sitting there for fifteen minutes holding your hand and staring into space."

Elle nodded and absently took her hand off her other one, the other three women in the room gasped.

"Wow, what a rock!" Val exclaimed.

W laughed and whispered to V loud enough to be heard across the kitchenette, "Looks like somebody's gonna have to call Chassidy back down here for the wedding."

V clasped her hands together, "Oh Elle, you've just gotta let me make the gown!"

"Okay," Elle looked up and finally faced the three women, a moment of silence followed, she couldn't hold it in anymore. "I'm getting married!" she squealed, this was the time old signal for the other girls to jump up and give her hugs and words of congratulation.

The Worms all spit out their coffee and stared at the odd scene, "Did she just say-"

"-that she was-"

"-getting-"

"-MARRIED?!"

They put their mugs in the sink and hurried off to find X, they wouldn't miss this his announcement for all the coffee beans in storage!

They peered into the tiny lounge area where X was sitting, reading a newspaper, with Jay and Kay sitting on either side of him. Kay was going over some case reports while Jay watched highlights of last night's basketball game.

"Man, gotta love that shot, what a beauty. No wonder that dude made pros that young." he said to no one in particular.

"Scoot over!"

"Let me see!"

"Your antenna's blocking my view!"

"Shhh!"

They scrambled over each other until they each had a view that they could live with. The Worms had made a sort of hobby of keeping up with all the gossip and worth knowing events that occurred within the walls of the MIB. It had become sort of a little soap opera that they liked to watch whenever the agents approached the kitchenette or stood just a little ways down the hall. The most recent 'episode' had been when Agent T had collided with Agent W in the hallway and knocked a good three hours work of organized paperwork out of her hands and onto the floor.

"T!!!" W'd shouted, "Why don't you watch where you're going? You knew I couldn't see you over all this!" she'd pointed angrily at the floor and all the scattered paperwork.

"Oops," T had sighed, "sorry, but you shouldn't be carrying so much that you can't see where you're going anyhow."

"Oh the drama!" one of the Worms had whispered as he'd taken another sip of coffee.

"Well excuse me for wanting to get all this filed in ONE TRIP!" W had snapped.

"He's in for it now!" another Worm had chuckled.

"The least you could do is help me pick this up!" she was kneeling down on the floor, gathering up the mess of forms. T had reluctantly bent down to help her. "It's still your fault you know." he'd muttered.

W held up her fist to slug him but her communicator had beeped. "Yes?" it was Zed.

"Agent W, those forms will have to wait, U needs you down in our childcare department ASAP!"

"Roger that." she groaned and got up. "Well T, unless you want Zed to know who spilled that can of fish food all over the files on his desk, I suggest you have all these forms picked up, straightened, and in order by the time I get back."

"Oooo, blackmail!" the Worms had thoroughly enjoyed this.

T grumbled and started picking up the forms as W turned with a smug grin and walked away. "I'll be back in ten minutes."

"Aww-"

"-commercial break."

"Better refill our mugs if we wanna catch the end of the show!"

That had been a very interesting 'episode' but this one, the engagement of the past rivals Elle and X, was something that you'd rent three extra VCRs for just to make sure you got the whole thing on tape!

"Slick, I don't think watching highlights of that game will help to further your career as an MIB agent." Kay said impassively.

"At least I have a life outside work Kay," Jay looked curtly at the file his partner was folding, "Don't you ever chill out?"

"There was that case in Alaska a few months back." Kay replied, grinning when Jay slapped a hand to his forehead. "You're hopeless dude!"

Seeing that he'd get nowhere with Kay he turned the conversation elsewhere, "So X, anything new happening between you and Elle?"

"Here it comes!" one of the Worms whispered excitedly.

"Nothing that's any of your business, human." X scoffed and turned a page.

"Aw c'mon X," Jay joked, "lots of people kiss and tell."

X groaned and put down the paper, glaring at Jay, "Well if you must know, we got engaged last night."

Jay's eyes widened and Kay dropped the folder. "Come again?" he asked, nearly losing his calm composure.

"We got engaged," X repeated, "I know human ears are little but I didn't think it made you deaf!"

Kay and Jay exchanged looks. "You mean-"

"Yes, Agent Jay, I'm getting married." X finished.

"Whoa," Jay slouched back against the couch, "Does Zed know?"

"Not yet."

"Better tell him when he's in a good mood." Kay chuckled, he wanted to be there for that.

"Did you hear that?!" one of the Worms gasped.

"He hasn't told Zed yet!" another answered happily.

"We didn't miss the best part!" a third cheered.

The Worms all took off down the hall to get their mugs. This was the biggest event of the 'season'! They couldn't wait to see the look on their boss's face, it would be---priceless!
