Part 34: The Episode You Just Can't Miss!
Up in his office the head of the MIB worked on filling out forms and preparing for a meeting with who else but---Lyndon.
"Whenever that pain in the neck drops by things explode around HQ and I'm caught in an even bigger mess." Zed grumbled. He looked up as his door was tapped once and then swung open, now who would be arrogant enough to barge in like that? X.
"What is it now X?" Zed sighed while X took a seat in front of him.
"Just thought you might wanna know this before Lyndon started raving about it to ya first," X mumbled.
"And what's that?" Zed asked reluctantly, did he really want to know?
"Ah! Here it is!!!"
"He's gonna tell him!"
The Worms were all crowded against the slightly ajar door to Zed's office. Supplied with their mugs and ready to listen to X's big announcement.
"If he collapses of shock-"
"-do you think that would buy us-"
"-enough time to-"
"-raid his coffee stash?!?"
"Last night I proposed to Agent Elle," X informed his boss, "She excepted, naturally."
Zed was silent, staring at the green alien before him in disbelief. Was this a joke? Couldn't be, X had that dead serious expression on his face. That must mean that-
X looked at his boss in shock, for the first time since he (and probably most of the agents that were still members of the MIB could remember), Zed had burst out in uncontrollable laughter.
His green features suddenly grew dark, "I don't see what's so funny Sir!"
"You!" Zed managed to cackle out, "Agent Elle! Getting MARRIED!!!"
X grumbled something in his own language and crossed his arms, glaring at his boss.
"Oh I can't wait for Lyndon to hear this!" Zed mused aloud.
"Wow-"
"-that was-"
"-unexpected."
The fourth Worm was snickering behind the others, "He won't have to wait long." Lyndon was coming down the hall.
The Worms darted out of the way as Lyndon entered Zed's office, "Um, Zed…you okay?"
Zed regained his composure, it took a few tries though, "Lyndon, we were just talking about you."
Lyndon glanced over at the alien he had gotten hired a while back, he had a sour expression and was muttering in his own language about what jerks humans could be. "Is everything okay in here?"
"Agent X just caught me off guard is all," Zed forced down a snicker.
"Oh, and what about me were you discussing?"
"X here informs me that he's getting married to his partner, Agent Elle." Zed couldn't help but smile at those words. "I knew you'd be delighted to hear the news."
"Well congratulations!" Lyndon beamed. "It's good to know that you two have been coexisting so well that you feel that comfortable with each other. This is a real big leap in the right direction for alien/human relations!"
X stopped mumbling long enough to accept Lyndon's hearty hand shake, and even shook Zed's hand as well. Why? He didn't really know, maybe growing closer to Elle had made him softer on humans. What an upsetting thought!
"I hope to get an invitation to this wedding," Lyndon smiled, "You know I wouldn't miss it for all the universe."
"You got it," X muttered, getting up and leaving the room. He shook his head as the Worms scattered when he opened the door. 'Nosy little…'
"Here you go," Agent R handed X an open communicator. His cousin looked at him puzzled so R explained, "Delia tells me that you've got some good news. I'm pretty sure Aunt Zoey would love to hear all about it."
With a knowing smile R took the other party off hold and rushed down the hall. With a groan X looked into his communicator. "Son? Is that my sweet little green rascal? Your cousin tells me that you've an announcement to make?"
Exhaling X began slowly, "Mom, remember my partner Agent Elle, the one Chassidy told you about?" his mother's image nodded, "Well, we're engaged."
X held the communicator away from his ears as his mother squealed happily. "M-mom?"
"I'm so happy for you sweetie! I'm gonna get my self a seat on the next transport to Earth and then you can introduce me to this lovely young human of yours!"
This was exactly what X DID NOT want to hear. "Mom you don't have to really, it's just a quick ceremony and then the honeymoon. I don't think it's something you should trouble yourself with."
"Oh nonsense!" Zoey insisted, "This is a ONCE in a lifetime event and I wouldn't miss it for the universe!"
The connection closed and X was left sulking in the hall, "Why does everyone keep saying that?!"
Then a thought crossed his mind, there was a human city, Las Vegas, he'd heard that humans got married there all the time in little chapels that were right around every corner. 'Vegas,' X sighed, 'I should've taken Elle to Vegas.'
