Chapter 12
A knock came on the door rousing Java from her post sleep slumber
"Who is it?" she muttered without opening her eyes
"Lieutenant Dan, it's about the wedding" came a voice
"Go. Away." Java told him in no uncertain terms before rolling over to rest her head on Vic's firm chest and dose off again
However ten minutes later another knock came on the door.
"I don't care who it is - go away" Java growled at them before they could say anything, annoyed at being woken for the second time, she had never been a morning person. Groaning she rolled onto her back and tried to force open her sleep heavy eyes. Seeing Vic was still asleep she kicked him
"If I have to be awake at this god forsaken hour you do too" she muttered. In reply he growled and rolled away from her onto his side. She kicked him again, harder. The only response she got was one hand, lifted, flapped a few times then dropped. She kicked him for the third time.
"Ok, ok" he mumbled rolling onto his back in defeat and squinting at the light as Java had a minute before "Nice to see you're your usual kind self this morning" he commented
"Shut up" she muttered and hit him gently with one hand while reaching blindly for her clock with her other to read the time. 8.04. Groaning again she sat up the sheets falling off her and pulling off Vic as she did so.
Vic pulled the sheets back over himself huffily.
"Go nick sheets from Ram" he told her. She rolled her eyes at him
"You're always so negative on mornings" she said teasingly
"Coz you're so perfect yourself," he grumbled back
Suddenly a third knock came on the door
"No" she shouted at whoever it was
"But..."
"Go away" she yelled. She flopped back onto the bed "Three people in fifteen minutes and it's only eight in the morning" she muttered in discontent
"Welcome to the wonderful world of weddings" Vic said sarcastically next to her
"Don't use alliteration this early" Java told him with a groan "This is just gonna get worse" she stated with fustration
"Yep" said Vic sounding slightly too happy for Java's liking at her problem. He inclined his head to watch her as she stumbled out of the bed and tried to rescue her clothes from where they had been discarded the night before
"Right, were getting out of here to celebrate my last day of freedom" she instructed him as she tugged on her trousers
"We?" echoed Vic from her bed
"Yeah, I need entertaining" she told him
"Can't," he told her a hint of amusement entering his voice as he propped himself up on his elbows to watch her
"You can," she told him with certainty as she fussed with her braids in front of her mirror. He shock his head a grin creeping across his face
"Ram's got a massive list of things for me to do for your wedding" he said
"Play hooky" she told him in a matter of fact manner as she applied mascara
"Can't, far too much to do," he told her.
She paused, looking at him in the mirror then turned and walked to the end of the bed, straddling his legs underneath the covers she crawled up him, stopping to sit just below his crotch. Unfortunately for her he was one of the only men her wiles and pleading face didn't work on.
"But I need to celebrate my last day of freedom" she told him, pouting slightly
"No can do," he said grinning at her, enjoying turning her down though he was sure he would have enjoyed the day out. "Wasn't that what we were celebrating last night too?" he asked
"Noooo, that was my last [I]night[/I] of freedom, this is my last [I]day[/I] of freedom" Java told him and then with a wink she said "Ya know, we have all day to rerun last night" Smiling seductively at him she ran a finger up the toned muscles of his bare chest and bent down to kiss him sucking gently on his bottom lip in a way she knew he loved. He groaned dropping his head backwards whishing he could go along with her knowing he would have great time if he did.
"I'd love to Java but I can't" he told her pushing her off him and reaching for his clothes
"Fine" sighed Java in resignation

An hour later Java was sat in a Techno vehicle she had 'borrowed' for the day heading out into the woodland. Usually she hated nature on principle but today she was gonna have to lump it if she wanted to escape the Technos.
Pulling out a CD she had found of her favorite previrus band she turned the sound system on loud so that the heavy guitars and lyrics boomed out across the woods showing nature what she thought of it.
[I]Why you gotta sit in my easy chair What makes you think that I would care? When I say to you - What are you gonna do?[/I]
She smiled relaxing slightly. That was an improvement, nature on her terms.

She returned to the base about 11 that evening, she had managed to waste away the day in the woods training, working on her laptop and sleeping, she was utterly sick of nature but glad she had escaped the mess of the day before the wedding.

The day of the wedding dawned beautifully with a glorious sunrise, as it should on such occasions. Unfortunately the bride's morning was not nearly as perfect.
First she was woken by some dweeby little Techno sent to help her with her make up and hair. Halfway through that torture her bridesmaids arrived. She was glad when the hours before the wedding were over; if she had to put up with any of the four girls in a confined space for much longer she was gonna hit one of them. Hard.
The wedding itself was perfect too, Ram had found a picturesque clearing and set up a delicate arch in it, the Technos sat on benches in the clearing. Ram and his best man, some dweeb Java didn't know, were dressed in suits and the bride and bridesmaids were stunningly dressed. Unfortunalty this beauty washed over the bride who was not too bothered about the entire thing and zoned out for most of the nuptials, though she made sure she said
"I do" and her vows in the right place. Watching Vic, who was conducting the ceremony, out of the corner of her eye she saw an amused smile twitch on his face as she repeated after him her vow to be faithful to Ram, and Ram only.
The ceremony was brief and, for Java, the after party was too as it she had only been at the party for half an hour before Ram dragged her off to consummate their marriage. For the rest of the Technos the party continued into the night, and the holiday extended for several days.
A knock came on the door rousing Java from her post sleep slumber
"Who is it?" she muttered without opening her eyes
