Chapter 22
"Chris, hurry up we don't want to miss the whole thing" Steph calls to him through the bathroom door after convincing him to go to the party with her, she walks away from the door and sits down on the end of the bed and slips on her shoes before standing up in front of the mirror and putting some earrings in. She looks round and smiles at Chris as he walks out of the bathroom and starts getting changed into his suit. "Can you come and do this up for me?" Steph asks holding the necklace out to him.
"Why is this party so formal?" Chris asks getting up and walking over to her, he takes the necklace and lays it around her neck before doing it up. He puts his arms around her waist and looks at her in the mirror, he puts his head on her shoulder. "You look great" Chris smiles at her and kisses her shoulder, she shrugs him off.
"Thank you but we'll never leave this room if you start with this.." Steph laughs as he stands looking all innocently at her "Stop it" she laughs again pushing him away from her "It's formal because there are going to be loads of important music people there and it's an important evening for you guys" she says handing him the room key as he shrugs on his black jacket.
"Who could that be?" Chris asks walking over to the room door when he hears someone knock on it, he opens it and sees KK standing outside all dressed up too. He looks quite surprised that Chris was in the room "Hey.." Chris says giving him a huge smile making KK look even more surprised.
"Why are you looking so happy? Steph get back with you or something?" KK asks in a joking tone not realizing that Steph is in the room, she comes to the door and puts her arms around Chris making KK's eyes pop out of his head "What is she doing here?"
"Oh thanks a lot, nice to know that I'm wanted" Steph laughs taking Chris's hand as they step out of the room closing the door behind them, Chris drops the key into his pocket and puts an arm around her waist. "We're going to the party aren't we? That's what we were supposed to be doing" Steph laughs as they walk away from KK who still stands at the door not knowing what's going on. Steph stops and looks back at him "Are you going to the party or not?"
"Erm..Yeah but..You two fell out, and now..What's going on?" KK asks running to catch up with them "Have I missed something, did I just dream the whole past few months and your not really ill and you two didn't really fall out because Steph thought you were going to murder her? Oh yeah and Chris didn't loose his memory, that was all a dream right?" KK says walking along with them till they reach the conference room where the party was being held.
"Na, I got my memory back.." Chris starts
"And we're going to get married" Steph finishes for him laughing at KK's expression "Once we've sorted this thing out that has infected Chris everything will be back to normal" she says looking at Chris who just has a big grin on his face.
"Hey Chris, why don't we go get some drinks while Stephanie goes and finds the others and what table we're at huh? KK says quickly, before Chris can answer he grabs the sleeve of his jacket and drags him away from Steph and across the room "What the hell are you thinking, are you insane!?" KK hisses at him looking around checking no one is looking "You know you can't marry her Chris!"
"I'll marry whoever I damn well please and I want to marry Steph" Chris says pulling his arm away and smoothing out the arm of his jacket that KK had hold of, Chris looks over his shoulder at Steph who is now sitting with Kidd and Duke at a table laughing and talking to them. He sees them excuse themselves and walk over to Chris.
"Are you insane!" Duke grabs Chris by his shoulders and shakes him as they walk over to them "You know you cant marry Stephanie, why are you getting her hopes up like this"
"Because I am marrying her that's why" Chris rolls his eyes "It's my life and I think that also means it up to me what I do with it, we are citizens of earth now you know..You know, free the human race and free will and freedom of choice and all of that," Chris says.
"That doesn't mean the council aren't going to kill you when they find out, that's for actually earth born people! That doesn't even mean it happens for half the people on the planet! Chris let us remind you of something..You were on trail for misuse of your powers, you broke the superhero law and you're acting as if you're just going to go ahead and do it again. Once was bad enough CJ, they let you off lightly and dropped your case for now didn't they. The last thing you need is to go against them again..Jeez man what are you thinking" Duke sighs.
"You know we're not allowed to marry humans, it's the law for us. They kicked up enough fuss when you started going out with her and when you started to live together, what are they going to think about this. We told them she didn't know about the Fozz, as far as they know she knows nothing about our powers or anything like that. As far as they know she just thinks we're just a rock band. If they find out she knows and that you've asked her to marry you'll we'll all get in trouble" KK says checking that Steph is still the other side of the room and not hearing any of this, she is still sitting at the table looking at them looking bored.
"They've let me off before, maybe they'll let me off again or something.." Chris replies hopefully, he looks at the others who look doubtfully at them "I'm sorry guys.."
