Chapter 4: Phone call
Location: Spirit World, Tiffany's dorm
Tiffany was given the job of assigning the invitations; she was alone in her room going over the guests names. But her solitary was interrupted by Aileta knocking on her door.
"Come in," Tiffany's answered. Aileta entered the room to find Tiffany at her desk, surrounded by books and papers. This was all that her room was actually. Tiffany's history made her room design very space efficient. All there was, was a cantilevered bar which were the customary Electrifying bed, and the desk she sat at, not much else.
"How are things going?" Aileta asked as she walked up.
"Good," she didn't look at Aileta, "for the most part. I've got four people who have to leave for the reception…and…one who might or might not make it to the end of the wedding itself," Tiffany said as she looked down her checklist, "Other than that everyone should be there."
"Who do you have next?" Tiffany looked at the next name.
"Oh boy…Jeremy Belpois," Aileta stared at her.
"…Jeremy...my Jeremy?" she stuttered.
"Do you…want to put some earplugs in…just in case he takes it the wrong way?" Tiffany asked, looking at her sideways.
"No…no let me do it," She said reaching for the headset.
Tiffany reached for the keyboard and set up the transmitter coordinates. Aileta didn't notice the antenna retract out of the earpiece.
"His phone should be ringing in a few seconds."

Jeremy stumbled into the kitchen of his resort. He still couldn't get over the felling that it wasn't some hotel room, no matter how many years he stayed. And the handbooks and tags on everything didn't help either. He walked to the sink and let the water collect in his cupped hands. He became much more conscious as the water splashed on his face. Jeremy jumped as the phone rang. He grumbled as he hobbled over to it. "Hello?" he grumbled as he picked it up.
"Jeremy is that you?" Aileta's voice said on the other end. Jeremy nearly fell over at the voice of his love.
"Hello Aileta," Jeremy said trying to perk his voice up,
"Hey I heard that you became a Soul Guardian. Congratulations!"
"Thanks, but that's not why I called. You see, David-"
"WHAT DID HE DO!"
"Relax Jeremy, its okay. Listen, what I called for is…well,"
Aileta held her hand up in front of her, "right now I'm looking at a diamond ring David gave me…and he gave it to me on one knee," she said proudly.
"You mean he…proposed?" Jeremy asked.
"Yes, yes he did," Aileta said smiling. Jeremy stood there silent, "Jeremy…are you okay?"
"Yeah Aileta I'm fine," Jeremy said monotone.
"You're not mad are you?"
"No of course not! I'm a little disappointed that we'll never have this chance…but David is sure to make you happy. I'm happy for you
Aileta, I'm happy."
"Thanks, but you know, if David and I weren't both soul guardians and you weren't…dead…I couldn't choose. But fate has put us in this position and now we have to carry on that way. You understand right?"
"Of course I do."
"Well, in any case, you're invited to the ceremony. Umm, there should be a transport picking you up in uhh," Tiffany held up six fingers, "six days."
"Okay Aileta, I'll see you there and Aileta…"
"Yes Jeremy?"
"…You know I love you," Jeremy said blushing.
"I do too," They hung up.
Jeremy let out a big sigh, and recollected himself from what he had just learned. Yes he was happy, yes she was right that the only thing that kept them apart was their fate…but he was still in love with her, and she said it herself that she was in love with him. It was then Yumi walked in.
"Hey, what's up…I heard the phone ring."
"Yeah, it was Aileta. She's um…getting married," Jeremy whispered the last part.
"Come again?"
"I said she's…getting married to David," He said, this time so she could hear clearly.
"What! But that's wonderful! Oh…I mean, I'm sorry Jeremy but-"
"Its okay Yumi, I'm happy for her."
"That's very mature of you Jeremy! I'm surprised you finally let her go," She said impressed, "I'm going to tell the other's the good news…uh, when is it?" She asked walking toward the door.
"In six days there should be a transport to pick us up," Jeremy announced somewhat depressed.
"Thanks," Yumi left to go wake up Ulrich and try to wake up Odd.
