Harper and Rhone leave the weight room. Rhade is outside, waiting for them. He blocks Harper's way.
Harper: What?
Rhade: We didn't finish our fight.
Harper: So! We...
Rhade punches him and he goes down. He quickly stands up and kicks Rhade in the side, Rhade retaliates with a punch to the nose, breaking Harper's nose. Harper strikes out blindly. Rhade kicks Harper in the side, he goes to finish him when Telemachus punches him in the back of the neck. Killing him instantly. Harper falls, but Rhone catches him.
Rhone: We've reversed roles.
Harper smiles at her. His nose is bleeding and three of his ribs are broken. Telemachus looks at Harper.
Harper: Thanks.
Telemachus: No problem. He was wrong in attacking you.
Rhone: Can you go tell Trance and Captain Hunt. I'll help him to medical.
Telemachus: Okay.
Rhone helps Harper to medical, as Telemachus goes into the weight room.
Telemachus: Harper's hurt.
Dylan looks at him.
Telemachus: Harper's hurt and Gaheris is dead. Trance, Harper needs help.
Trance: Okay.
She hurries out the door and to medical. Telemachus explains what happened.
Telemachus: Dylan, If I hadn't intervened Harper would be dead.
Dylan: I understand, you won't be persecuted.
Telemachus: Thankyou, Captain.
In medical Trance has fixed Harpers ribs and is realigning his nose.
Harper: Ow! Careful.
Trance: Sorry.
Rhone: So, when's the wedding?
Trance: Friday, not next week. On obs deck. Dylan's marrying you two, and Zelazny is presenting the helixes.
Rhone: Okay, just making sure I knew when to show up.
Harper: Hahaha, Oww!
Trance: Don't laugh, your ribs are still sore.
Torum walks in.
Torum: Um... My lady... I must ask if I may miss your wedding.
Trance: Why!?
Rhone looks at Trance weird.
Rhone: Why, Torum?
Torum: Well... I have to return to the planet. Telemachus will be staying in my place.
Rhone: Okay. You sure you can't stay till friday?
Torum: I don't believe so. I may be able to come back, but if the Drago-Katsov pride knew you were getting married... there would be a big to do over it.
Rhone: Very well.
Torum: I will try to be back for it.
Rhone: Okay.
Torum leaves.
Harper: Too bad.
Trance has finished with Harper's injuries.
Harper: Can I go know?
Trance: Yes, Harper, you may leave now.
Harper leaves with Rhone.
Rhone: So who's going to be your best man?
Harper: I don't know, who's your maid of honour?
Rhone: I don't know.
Harper: Do we even have to have them?
Rhone: Yes... I guess.
Harper and Rhone turn around and go back to medical.
Rhone: Um... Trance?
Trance: Yes.
Rhone: Do we need a maid of honour?
Harper: And best man?
Trance: Yes.
Rhone and Harper: Okay.
They leave and go to Harper's quarters.
Rhone: Who?
Harper: I don't know.
Rhone: I think we need to take a shower first, you smell.
Harper: So do you.
Rhone: I know. You take one first while I think, then I'll take one.
Haper: Okay.
He goes and takes a shower. Rhone sits there thinking, when Harper gets out she goes and takes a shower. He sits on his bed waiting for her to come out. She comes out and lays down on his bed.
Rhone: I could have given you a helix and we wouldn't be doing this.
Harper: They seem happy though.
Rhone: Yeah. So who's your bestman?
Harper: Dylan or Telemachus? Telemachus saved my ass and Dylan's the Captain.
Rhone: Well in my case it's either Terran, Beka, Trance, or Rommie. Well Terran probably won't care. Dylan's doing the ceremony, isn't he?
Harper: Yes, so it's Telemachus. Beka would probably just want to be a maid.
Terran comes on the com.
Terran: Rhone?
Rhone: Yes, Terran.
Terran: I'm not coming.
Com goes off. Rhone thinks for a minute.
Rhone: Well, Rommie can be the ring bearer, Zelazny's the helix bearer, Beka's maid of honour, and Trance is the flower girl.
Harper: Now, the only thing left to do is tell everybody. I'll go tell Dylan and Telemachus.
Rhone: I'll tell everyone else.
Harper: Andromeda, where's Dylan and Telemachus?
Andromeda: On command. Everyone's on command.
Rhone: Thanks.
Harper: Let's go.
They go to command. Dylan adresses them when they enter.
Dylan: Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Harper.
Rhone: Beka, you're maid of honour.
Beka: Really?
Rommie: But... I...
Rhone: Rommie, you're ring bearer.
Zelazny: Hey!
Rhone: You're the helix bearer.
Zelazny: Okay.
Rhone: Trance, you're flower girl.
Trance: Yay!
Rommie: Where are the rings?
Zelazny: Where are the helixes?
Rhone: I've got the helixes.
Harper: Um... we don't have rings.
Terran: I'll go get them.
She leaves.
Harper: Dylan you're doing the ceremony right?
Dylan: Yep.
Harper: Good. Telemachus, can you be my best man?
Telemachus: I would be honoured.
Harper: Alright, since that's finished. Boss do we get time off?
Dylan: Yes, two weeks, starting right now.
Rhone: After the ceremony we're going to a planet.
Harper: Right now, we'll go get the helixes.
Beka: Rhone, we have to pick out a dress.
Rhone: What!?
Harper: First, helixes.
Rhone and Harper leave. They go to Rhone's quarters.
Rhone: A dress, I can't believe I have to pick out a dress.
Harper: Maybe you have something in here.
He goes over to her dresser and opens the first drawer.
Harper: Whoa!
He pulls out a balck leather corset.
Rhone: Put that back!
Harper: You could wear it.
Rhone: Harper!
Harper: I'm puttin' it back.
He looks through the second drawer.
Harper: You could wear this.
He has a white dress with black and dark green frills on the sleeves.
Rhone: Isn't it supposed to be all white?
Harper: Why?
Rhone: I don't know.
Harper: We'll ask Beka later.
Rhone: Put it in the maybe pile. The helixes are in the third drawer.
Harper: Okay.
He pulls open the third drawer.
Harper: Whoa!
