Sue's hands twisted the makeshift ring Reed had given her nervously. With their wedding approaching, things were hectic. Invitations had to be sent, flowers ordered, a dress picked out. And what a dress it was. She'd spent a full day dragging Johnny along with her from one dress shop to the next, finally seeing her dream gown just as he was launching into his umpteenth 'Don't you have a girlfriend you could be doing this with?' And now it was safely tucked away in her closet, covered in plastic sheathing, both to protect it, and to make sure that Reed couldn't take a sneak peek. Bad luck and all. Even still, she sighed happily, checking her To-Do List one more time before tiptoeing to the door of the lab and looking in at Reed, sitting at the desk, his hands worked feverishly, scribbling like a man possessed, and only pausing when each piece of paper had run out of room.

"Dear," she called softly. "Reed…" Earth to Reed, this is your fiancée. He mumbled something unintelligible, still scribbling. She frowned for a moment and then concentrated, and Reed suddenly found that he couldn't quite get his pen to meet the paper, no matter how much pressure he exerted.

Looking up, confusedly, he saw Sue. Oh. Right. "Five more minutes?" He questioned. Working is good. Working pays the bills. Working means that he can afford a trip to wherever it was that she wanted to go for their honeymoon.

"That's what you said fifteen minutes ago," she answered, tapping her foot just slightly. "Come on, Mr. Fantastic. We're going shopping." A smirk as the codename rolled off her tongue.

Wrinkling his nose he nodded, tossing his pen down. "Alright, but if I can't remember where I left off, you'll pay." Handsomely. In kisses and hugs. They were expensive these days.

Sue grinned, nodding. "I'll take full responsibility." And held her hand out. His arm stretched across the room, even as he stood, so that by the time he actually reached the door, they'd already been holding hands for a few seconds.
