Chapter 6: Chocolate and Chili Peppers

OMG I am SO sorry that I screwed up! I meant to replace Chapter 7, but then I was thinking about how the comment at the end was about Chap. 6, so now I have to retype the whole thing! (I don't keep the actual chapters on my computer, I just copy them from the site 'cuz they're mine already) I am SO SORRY! I already know the plotline of the story, though, so it should only be about half an hour 'til it's back up.

FluffleNeCharka: Read the first 3 words of this chapter, then tell me if you're still confuzzled.

Sasha: At the wedding, there were very few people. Part of the reason for this was that, apart from Psychonaut officials, Sasha hardly knew anyone. The other part was that when there was a marriage with even one psychonaut, you didn't want to have too many minds in that close proximity. Therefore, he had limited the number of people in attendance to 50. Raz was the ring bearer (and disappointed about having a position with that dumb of a title) and Lili was the flower girl. Truman, of course, was Sasha's best man. Milla had, of course, jazzed up her wedding dress with the same category of ribbons as were braided into her hair: bright.

At the reception, there was only one wedding game. It was a contest between Sasha and Milla to see who could eat more chili peppers. Milla won, of course, because she'd grown up in a country where they use a lot of chilies and enjoy spicy food. Then they cut the cake. It was chocolate. Milla had arranged that. She said that then it was like the first time they'd met, when she'd made hot chocolate with chili peppers.

At last, the reception was over.

"So, darling," Milla said as they were driving back to Psychonauts HQ, "Are you ready for the next step?"

"Umm… What 'next step' would that be?" Hopefully she didn't mean…

"Applying to be partners, of course. That's what all Psychonauts do, if they haven't already."

"Oh."

"Oh, you thought I meant… No, darling. Not for a long time, if ever."

"Okay."

Then a thought occurred to him. "We aren't partners anymore?"

"Well, you see, darling, I thought you needed some alone time, so then I applied for us to not be partners anymore. Then I got the letter, then you kissed me, and now we've just been married, so… I haven't had much time. You and I are officially paired with Psycadets. So now we have to reapply. They'll pair with other Psychonauts, and we'll be together on most of our missions." Of course, they couldn't be together on all of the missions. She was too bubbly for some missions, just as he was too suspicious-looking. But it didn't usually matter.

Milla: She snuggled up next to him. She had no clue what he was thinking. He could think of any number of things while he was driving. She was just glad to be next to him. Little did she know what she was in for.

Yeah and then there's the next chapter. Sorry if you got confused. I really didn't mean to.
