As I have worked VERY HARD on this fiction it's only understandable that I would CRUSH whoever tried to plagiarize or sue me. I acknowledge that some characters belong to MIB: The Animated Series, and that others belong to Delia or Chanda, the others are mine (yay me). Enjoy the story and thanks for reading this far. ^_~

Written in the Stars: A Destined Romance

Part 37: A Walk Down the Isle

In a beautiful chapel on the outskirts of Rochester the agents and aliens were all gathered for the wedding of the century! The wedding of Agents Elle and X! The bridesmaids were being led down the isle by the male aliens and agents. R escorted Delia and Y escorted A. As they passed the row where Y's mother and R's mother were seated the women overheard them mention something about how cute they looked walking by with their sons in those darling pale blue dresses.

"I think they're reading a little too much into this ceremony," A muttered to Delia once they were in place.

Delia nodded, "If she keeps taking snapshots of me she won't have any left for the bride and groom."

Zeeltor stepped forward to lead the next female up the isle when he noticed it was Yazmine. She certainly looked very appealing in that bridesmaid dress. "Ah, Dr. Yazmine," he smiled, "you look quite ravishing this morning."

Yazmine blushed and put her arm around his, "You look very distinguished in that tux Doctor."

"You think so?" Zeeltor asked cheerfully as he looked down and inspected his suit. "I must admit that this is nowhere near as comfy cozy as my lab coat. I really don't see how the agents walk around like this all day."

He chuckled softly as they walked, Yazmine shook her head and smiled at the doctor. He seemed amused by every aspect of the room. Upon reaching the end of the isle she reluctantly took her arm out from around his. "Enjoy the ceremony," she whispered before taking her place next to Agent A.

For a moment she thought he hadn't heard her. Biting her lower lip she glanced over to where he stood at the other side of the altar. He met her gaze and gave her a thumbs up. Yazmine beamed and shied back, 'He likes me.' she assured herself.

The Wedding March began to play. It was Elle's big moment. X glanced at the double doors. They were held wide open by large pink ribbons and lace. And in the center of the entrance stood his beautiful little human. She was clad in a long silken wedding gown with a long train behind her and thin see-through veil covering her face. Elle was holding a bouquet of white and red roses in front of her and blushed slightly at the awestruck look on her fiancé's face as he stared at her from down the isle.

"She's so beautiful," Elle's Aunt Bridget commented to Kris (Kristallin), her husband.

"Yes, it seems like just yesterday she was running off getting into all sorts of mischief." the alien agreed, draping his arm over his wife's shoulder.

Elle looked out at the room through the veil. She noticed her aunt and uncle seated in the first row on her family's side. She glanced over at Zoey who was seated on the first row with X's family. She noted all the aliens and agents spread out through the rows. This was heartwarming in it's own way. To see all her alien and human friends and coworkers together in the same room. What was really adorable was seeing Tiffany and Anne sitting with the Twins. Elle'd always known they'd get along.

"Deep breath Agent." Zed's voice came gently from beside her. Since Elle had lost her parents at a young age and was never really raised entirely by her aunt and uncle it seemed only suitable that Zed, who had played the biggest role as a father figure to her in recent years, should walk her down the isle and give her away.

Elle smiled back at her boss who extended her his arm. "Thanks Sir. This means a lot to me."

"It means a lot to me too." Zed grinned, "I trust now that you see that I knew what I was doing when I made you two partners."

Her cheeks reddened as she thought back to the time she had tried to get X fired for nearly killing them both by driving an SUV down the subway. "I'm glad you insisted we work things out." she admitted.

"Time to take that long walk Elle." Zed announced. Elle nodded. A few tears of joy running down her face as she was lead down the isle, and to her new life with X.

"Do you Agent X, take Elle to be your lawfully wedded wife? To cherish and to hold, in sickness and in health…" the priest continued to read from his book as Jay tugged at his collar.

"What's the problem Slick," Kay asked in a low tone.

"Don't know," Jay confessed, "maybe it's just too hot in this room?"

Now it was X's turn to speak, "I do."

The priest turned to Elle and asked her the same question about X.

Val felt arm being nudged by Delia, the maid of honor who was holding Elle's bouquet while her hands were in X's. "What?" Val muttered.

"Check out Jay." Delia snickered, "He looks like he just lost his favorite comic book."

Val glanced over at the sweaty agent and shook her head, "That dude just ain't right." she stated.

Zeeltor was thoroughly enjoying the ceremony. He really wished that he'd attended more weddings over the years. They weren't nearly as boring as people made them sound.

"I do." Elle spoke.

R, the best man, smiled over at Delia, thinking she was glancing at him. Delia smiled widely and waved a little from beneath the roses and sprigs of baby's breath. R's mother noted this with glee.

Yazmine and A were staring at the couple wondering how much longer it would be before they could get out of their six inch heels. Zoey and Zed were seated on the front row on X's family's side smiling at the couple as they slipped the rings onto each others' fingers.

With the rings placed and the vows read there was only one thing left to do, "You may now kiss the bride!"

Lifting the veil from in front of Elle's face X gazed into the little human's pale blue eyes. They were even more stunning in the candlelight before the altar. Talia nudged Remist (who was holding little Chant) and V, "Here's betting that half the room breaks down when they lock lips."

V nodded and wiped a few tears from her eyes, "I think you'd win that beat."

Remist shook his head and looked down at Chant, "Mommy's lost her mind again." he cooed. Talia sighed and laid against her husband's shoulder, "You know this reminds me of something we did over a year ago."

Elle and X exchanged subtle looks of longing and leaned into a passionate kiss. This was one of those perfect moments that brings tears to everyone's eyes.

Jay was rubbing the corners of his eyes. "You okay?" Kay asked him.

"I'm fine," Jay choked out. "Just got a little something in my eye is all."

Kay cocked an eyebrow and leaned away from the whimpering agent. It was apparent to him that Jay had gone nuts. Or maybe it was true---some people really do always cry at weddings.

Wishing that the kiss could last forever--but knowing it had to end--the newlyweds pulled apart.

A few moments later the guests were all outside the chapel awaiting the departure of the newlyweds. Kay leaned forward and whispered to the two who were staring at each other lovingly. "This is the part where you run down the isle. And out to your vehicle."

Zed fiddled with something he had hidden inside his jacket pocket. It was all set, Elle and X would jump into the SUV (which was decorated with white messages of 'Just married' and pink streamers and crazy strings), drive around the back way to the reception hall, and enter to cut the cake. Holding the two tickets in a firm grasp Zed chuckled, those two would barely have time to open the gifts, get them packed, and make their flight. Kay had dropped the hint to the couple to have their bags packed and Jay had loaded them into the back of the SUV. Things were perfect. And he couldn't wait to see Elle's face when she found out where Zed was sending her and X for their honeymoon!

Holding each other tightly the newlyweds raced out towards the SUV and were pelted by rice.

"Oh no!" one of the Worms exclaimed.

"What?" another asked.

"We didn't get a bag of rice!" the third yelped.

"What'll we throw?" the fourth inquired.

Elle and X raced past the Worms and noticed something odd being slung at them, "What's that dark stuff?" X asked, looking at the black specs on Elle's dress.

"It smells like---coffee?!" Elle gasped.

She and X glanced at each other a moment and then exclaimed together, "The Worms."

Climbing into the decked out SUV Elle and X sped off down the street, coffee cans clanging behind them with a big cardboard sign below the back window that read, 'Just Married'.
