A/N: Btw, I forgot to mention that the Roller Rocket World and the Rainy Day Spa and Salon were awesome ideas made by my collaborator, BerryWatterson (PrincessGumballWatterson). From the bachelor and bachelorette parties. The Raining Spa and Salon (which have great services and treatments from massages to hair services and even a sauna, mud spa, and a hot tub). And the Roller Rocket World (which is home to roller rinks, an indoor arcade, and bowling to all ages and genders). Both of these places have restaurants as well and they were inspired by her favorite places.
And...the next one is going to be quite tricky since this involves the date with Kate and EAD, even so much more... This was NOT easy! So I hope you'll appreciate this, Berry!
Lap 7
Kate Alen and Mr. EAD went shopping at one of the prestigious shopping malls in Mute City, and she offered him to try out different tuxedos and dresses for the wedding; he was pretty shy about it since he's an android and his extra-extra large stature would be proven to be quite a challenge for searching for an accurate size. From a worker behind the counter, she measured his humongous circumference, confirming it to be XXXL! Thankfully, they didn't have to rely on a tailor to design a super huge tux for the usher; instead the patron showed the duo a back chamber within the store that shown an XXXL black tux with a white undershirt and a red tie. She said that not many customers of that size come here often, though she knew it could happen since she has seen some F-Zero pilots with that said stature such as EAD as well as Draq.
Kate was ecstatic when they found what they needed for Rick and Tinsel's wedding only a fortnight to go. Unlike the android, she easily found a silky medium dress as well as a matching headband.
By the time they were successful, they can get some lunch. And while there, Kate decided to tell EAD how she was used by others on the week before she met the Mobile Task Force team. On how fans always pressured her to succeed and demand her to be at her absolute best; and since she was the youngest out of 10 brothers, she dealt with it all her life and her stress always built up from there. Since her parents were recording artists, she thought that going on stage and performing would be a relief, which at first it was, but her millions of followers as well as the infinite relocations she was forced to make were just grinding on her nerves, even the more rude and obsessive fans that she wished would be put down like the ravenous dogs they were! Even while she was F-Zero racing, the anxieties just followed since other fans had expected her to win them, not to mention take advantage of her soulful vocals and unique physique, even to the point of being a naked model! All those stresses on staying on top on both occupations were far too much, even how the fans treated her.
So, Gordon and EAD were the only dear friends to her. Even while she was being hunted down by Zoda. She, at first, never cared of the ultra-sized machine and took away his memory chip, that was till his deep sacrifice he made, which made her have a change of heart that even the most emotionless lifeforms can still possess a heart, albeit metallic. Kate realized that she thought...maybe they can take their relationship onto the next level. So she decided to buy something at a store.
After they were finished shopping and having their picnic, the two decided to go to her mansion; he had moved there in May, which explained why he was seldom seen at the Task Force base, unless if the need arose for his well-coordinated skills as a mechanic as gifted as the late Dr. Clash. As they got to her private, spacious quarters, she told him that she wants to take the relationship further by showing him something that she had brought. It was a...condom.
Kate then wanted to teach him of the birds and the bees, since he's an android, and that he won't fry his circuits while learning it, in other words to consummate their romantic relationship.
"You mean this machine wants to physically join with a human? Is that possible!?" Dr. McCoy questioned.
"Let's find out." Decker dared, he walked toward the archaic, though high intellect satellite comp known as V'Ger.
Clank and Alias were so enamored with the movie-adapted documentary that took place back in 2273 as Admiral Kirk and his crew infiltrated a deadly interstellar mass known as the Cloud; Tinsel offered it to them personally, as a nice, little distraction even for her while EAD and Kate were finally making love to each other. She wished the process would've been the same as the mergence of Capt. Decker and Voyager 6, even when Ilia stepped in. She didn't seem to like to think of how it'll turn out; while the bachelorette party was a nice distraction, it was still very temporary. Rick saw her pangs of worry from time to time, as did the Stewarts. It seemed rather awkward, especially if he were able to reproduce. Like Rodney said once, most androids cannot survive without their organic components, hence Dr. Stewart's formula cleansing Mr. BAD's codes that were corrupt by Black Shadow.
Just then, an unexpected chirp emitted from Tinsel's key fob. Thinking it'd be just a lure to a sensuous moment, her hand began to shake as she held the device in a fish grip. Rick noticed her hesitation so he offered to pick it up instead. A young man recognized Rick's voice, as did others in the background while his comm was on speaker; it was able to carry on a long range, as if it came from a ship or some kind of vessel. But the moment the Young Falcon realized a squeak, "I am Groot!", he instantly knew it belonged to his distant friends, the Guardians of the Galaxy! That also made Tinsel perk up and storm off the couch. Peter Quill, aka Starlord, answered the call, and Tinsel was admired to hear from her favorite members, Rocket and Little Groot, along with Gamora and Drax.
Rick and Tinsel met them awhile back while they hunted for a bounty, but they had been very difficult to contact since then. Then, the misfits heard some rumors of them tying the knot, but they each never received an invitation since they were always so busy roaming around the universe. One time, their paths crossed as Rick and Tinsel encountered Drax as he twisted the neck of a violent attacker. Starlord saved their lives as he advised them to leave while his gang took the wanted, though comatose, aggressor so they won't waste the Dilithium Crystal they lend for the Falcon Flyer. Starlord really admired Tinsel's taste in music, as she always loved his playlist his late mom made specially for him before she died of cancer on Earth; a lot of his songs were downloaded onto her Audio Blu-Rays. The Guardians wished they would come to Mute City, but they'd always be distracted bounty farming, so Starlord requested it should be recorded, and Clank volunteered to do just that using his robot assistant, Tek. Tinsel and Rick said it was nice for them to make the call and notify them they aren't available for their matrimony, yet they still said farewell as they wished them luck, with the cute Little Groot saying those same three words all the way through!
Tinsel sighed, "Such a small world. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to meet these guys."
"Me too." Rick said as he smiled, just as grateful.
By the time the documentary ended, the young boys left and were soon picked up by the Red Gazelle. Then, Rick offered Tinsel to rehearse their first dance as they had gradually gotten better with every step; they knew they'd be ready, just in time for their fortnight wait.
A/N: Forgive me for misspelling the Deltan's name; it's Ilia, not Alea like I thought, and these sci-fi names can be difficult to spell and apply to. Yet again, the original Star Trek movie, The Motion Picture, made an appearance; the previous one being the inspiration for Dark Star using elements of the Intruder Cloud/V'Ger. What can I say? I find this movie to be incredibly underrated, and should be praised more since V is FAR worse!
Also, the Guardians of the Galaxy made a cameo appearance; I like these guys, before their team was ruined by the events of Endgame, but sometimes I find the series difficult to get into for some reason. Heck, I kinda forget the names of the team from time to time excepting Starlord, Groot and Rocket, LOL. Also, there was this reference, via the Dilithium Crystals, on a Star Trek: TNG episode; can't remember what it was since I saw it a month ago, something involving a skilled aggressor and the crew was running out of warp speed/power if they ran out of Dilithium. Could someone help me out?
I wanted to get this Lap out of the way asap and I...didn't want to go too far describing Kate and EAD's consummation because a)...this was something that I'm sure my collaborator can do better and it's out of my comfort zone, b) it's between a human and an android to which is kinda weird, hence the interruption w/ the mergence of V'Ger, and c)...let's just say I'm saving a very sensuous scene for last, and it may be a little inappropriate and grotesque to show multiple scenes like this to various audiences; I don't want any trouble, and I have seen enough disgust as it is!
So, there's only a fortnight till Rick and Tinsel's wedding! I can hardly wait!
