p data-p-id="8f4396ce39216d05d8e8c1fc3f07e240"I felt like things were truly going to change. The way I live my life, the way everything around me works, as well as living in a more friendly environment. As much as I enjoyed not having to be that serious all the time, I still couldn't let my guard down. Because I knew they were still searching for us. However finding us would be a very difficult task. At the time I was reading some of the intergalactic newspapers, while Holly was sleeping on the couch next to me. Then she had suddenly woken /br /"Good morning.." she said while rubbing her eyes. "It's already afternoon, you sure know how to sleep as a rock." She looked at me with an annoyed expression. "Well maybe you could make me a nice little meal." Holly said as she was clinging onto me. "I'm trying to read the newspapers here, please go away." As I said that she grabbed the newspaper away from me and got up to read it. "Hmph, what is so interesting about this anyway!? So they're constructing some new buildings? Trying to expand the spaceport? Or that there is some wedding going to happen very soon?" /p
p data-p-id="f991946631f4664f29dea58081e84f17"I grabbed the newspaper back from her. "Look, if you're gonna be annoying, be annoying somewhere else." She sat next to me as I told her that. "Well maybe you should be more fun than a serious person all the time! You truly do not know how to treat a lady!" I scratched the back of my head. "I haven't really seen or worked with ladies before, I still don't know what that gesture from before was either. Would you mind explaining that to me now?" I asked her. "Gesture? Oh you mean what happened at the prison! That was nothing at all!" She said as she looked away. "E-eh? Come on, I think I deserve to know what it means!"/p
p data-p-id="2037fce463b1501c986973a99ac5ad9f"Pho laughed as he walked into the room. "I see you two are getting along nicely, I'm really happy to see this! Fills me with excitement and happiness to see brothers and sisters in front of me!" Holly got up and pointed at me. "Yeah well all he's done is sit down and read the newspapers, he didn't even think of making me some breakfast or lunch! Argh I just want to smack him with those stupid newspapers!" Pho began to laugh again as I felt slightly threatened. "You should give him more credit Holly, truth to be said he is known as a legend in a way!" Pho said as he sat down. "Legend you say? Why is that?" I asked him. /p
p data-p-id="21f04e9e842b151eb5fb4f7896356cdc""Well you see, The Gate was known as one of the most secure places in the entire galaxy, anyone that gets in never comes out again. So for one Hedgehog to go in there, take down an entire army of guards, and free all of the prisoners is quite an achievement. But then again you aren't just some hot shot who just says things, you actually let your actions speak for you. Which is what I'm gonna need you for with a new job!" /p
p data-p-id="7ebe339b45aabc0381a3e41bc3b9d793"I looked at Pho with a confused expression. "A new job? You make it sound like I rescued Holly and took down that prison because I got paid." Pho shook his head. "Don't get me wrong, when I say I have a new job it is something I need your help with. Honestly, both of you need to help me." Holly jumped up and down with excitement. "Come on Ty, this is going to be awesome! Who knows, we might just rob a fashion design store! The biggest one on the planet maybe? I recently saw some awesome shoes and some really cool nail polish in there! I am ready for this new job, believe me!" /p
p data-p-id="e29ee9ddf5347383e039f95615fa4ca6"Pho scratched the back of his head while having fake laugh. "Huh? Nail-who? What is that? Is it some kind of weapon you wish to steal?" Holly seemed confused. "You don't know what that is huh, you sure as heck don't really seem to care about how stylish you look.." Holly just made things more confused for me. "Alright alright, now please both of you follow me to the base please! I'll show you everything there!" Pho said as we began to make our way to the base./p
p data-p-id="9d6d4af5b194a8e585bf45323f9f4dec"As we had arrived, Pho had explained everything in detail to us. "So if I get I'm correct, we go in there. Act as a couple and play along. And then steal this bracelet that is supposedly on this woman's arm. Am I right?" I said as Pho nodded in agreement. "Then let me ask you, why do we need to go through all this trouble to steal this bracelet exactly?" I asked. "You see this bracelet is worth more than you think, I'd say it's worth about at least 100 million galactic Zenny. Which can be your ticket out of here to a peaceful place amongst the rich people. You two will be able of living there in peace for good! Nobody will come looking for us there and the rich won't care who we are and what we're doing. We are the last remaining Hedgehogs in the galaxy, so I want us all to be safe." /p
p data-p-id="57a6c62daf9cb46dfe2a95c5d0856872"Holly and I looked at each other. "But we don't need all of this, we can't stop taking the fight to the EoE after all! Right Holly?" I said as I looked at her. "I mean..such freedom is tempting however, nobody that will ever threaten us or try to put our lives in danger.." I went over to her and put my hands on her shoulders. "look at me, we are the last Hedgehogs remaining in the galaxy, we can't simply think that they will stop coming for us if we settle down somewhere. It doesn't matter where we are, they will come for us!" Holly felt scared and wrapped her arms around me. "That is why I need you to come with me, to protect me..please Tyson." /p
p data-p-id="e1fb36cdef67335c6501b0fb46da158f"Holly's warm words hit me hard. I slowly wrapped my arms around her also. "I'll always protect you and be by your side from now on, I promise you that." Pho began to think. "Alright well, if it's not to settle down somewhere, we can always use the money to get some additional expensive parts for the ship, or possibly get some really good weapons. So whatever we plan to do afterwards, I say we still do it. Are you two with me?" Pho asked. Me and Holly let go of each other as we looked at Pho. "We're always with you brother, even though I'm not much of a money freak myself, you are right we could still use it for other purposes. Let us prepare."/p
p data-p-id="7ae7d2c6e6460725c225482c62d9e9a5"br /Many hours spent to get ready as me and Holly were going to arrive at the wedding. As I was holding our invitations in my hand, the guard at the gate asked for the invite. I nicely handed them over, the guard greeted us as he let us through. Holly wrapped her arm around mine. "What is it?" I asked her. "This is what married couples do silly." Holly said as she giggled. "I really don't get this couple thing still." I said as I was very confused still. "Haven't you ever loved someone? Or been in love before?" Holly asked. "The only love I remember is from my mother, I can barely remember it but as a little kid she used to take good care of me and give me the love I needed. Other than that I've always been left to rot in that hell, being used to kill my own kind in a way." I said as I felt a bit sad with those thoughts. /p
p data-p-id="cfed751088b09e1fa5d9d83560e10ca6"Holly stopped and put her hand on my cheek. "Do not worry, you will experience a different kind of love." She said as we looked each other in the eyes. "hey you two lovebirds over there, are you going to move into the building or not? You seemed to have stopped moving." Pho said over the headset. Holly looked away out of embarrassment. "Yeah we're going in right now Pho, I'll let you know when we see the bracelet." I said over the headset. "Copy that, I am on the rooftops and see you two at the moment. I am going to move in from the roof, see if anything is out of the ordinary. You can never trust this man. Let me know when things get heated in there." Pho said as me and Holly made our way into the building./p
p data-p-id="53be711cc7d60b3c7ba91a6a13d7a53f"br /Holly was stunned by the beauty of the inside of the building, the wedding seemed to have amazed her. A man and a woman came over to us to greet us. "Good evening, my name is Jake Winters, and this here is my soon to be wife Monica Winters, I welcome you to our wedding sir." I greeted the man with a slight bow. "It is a pleasure to be here sir, ma'am." I said with a bright smile. "Is this your wife if I may ask?" Jake asked as he pointed at Holly. "Yes, we've been married for nearly a year now. We met each other on a remote planet where we fell in love with each other at first sight!" Holly said before I could even speak. "Ah such beauty, please make yourselves at home and have a good time!" Jake said as he walked away with his soon to be wife. "You sure seem to be digging this love thing, did you notice that she was wearing the bracelet?" Holly nodded in agreement. /p
p data-p-id="9941eb690cc5948b30251c1b155919bf""Pho, do you read me? We have the target in sight. What is your status?" Pho didn't seem to react in any way. Something felt strange. Holly grabbed my hand and began heading to the middle of the room. Everyone seemed to be dancing, husbands and wives all together. "Come on let's dance as well!" Holly said as she put her arms around my neck. "I don't know how to dance, I'm sorry I should've studied it a bit before leaving." Holly giggled. "You should put your hands around my hips, and then just take it slowly." As she told me that I slowly put my arms around her hips and began moving slowly with her. /p
p data-p-id="7a3d1588b726393f0a8218e8aba35d07""So this is what married couples do at weddings? It is all still confusing to me honestly." She giggled. "Not necessarily married couples only, but couples in general. You're always so confused about these things, it must've been really hard for you for what they did to you huh, Ty?" I looked down a bit. "It is okay now however, as you protect me, I too will protect you. Because I..." Holly stopped and looked away for a bit. She didn't finish her sentence, which made me think of something. "Hey, Holly can you look at me for a second?" I asked. As she looked at me I slowly kissed her on the lips with my eyes closed. I felt the same warm gesture as before, however this time it felt better and much more special for some reason. As I slowly backed away, I saw her eyes sparkle and her face was slightly red. She looked down out of embarrassment and didn't speak. I giggled and smiled. "Now I understand what that gesture means, you are in love, right Holly?" /p
p data-p-id="3c247c2b3e5130f2b29b7de4f3ed8469"As she was just about to speak, Jake began to speak on the stage with a microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen may I have your attention please." Everyone stopped dancing and looked at him. "Today to all of you who have been invited to my wedding and came, I want to say that I am very grateful, that I get to share this beautiful moment in my life with all of you together. Getting to marry someone I've known and loved for so many years, I can say that I haven't been as happy and lucky as at this moment. Cause now I get to name my beautiful Monica, my wife." Jake said as he sat on one knee and also opened up a small box which contained a ring. /p
p data-p-id="3debd87c495a04a4d954adcc8bc1c1f2"When suddenly Jake got shot in the chest. Everyone was in shock, however I was looking around me to see who it was. I noticed Pho on the third floor with an advanced sniper rifle. I saw him nod at me as he dashed away. "Holly go over to the exit right now, I'll be with you in a second alright?" She nodded in agreement as she quickly left the building. /p
p data-p-id="1a234de833457e322f7f7317aca816bb"The lights went out in the room, which allowed me to quickly take the bracelet from Monica as well as put an elixir on top of Jake's chest. When the lights had turned on again I was already gone. Monica put her hands on Jake's chest. "No not like this.." Jake woke up while breathing heavily. "What just..happened? How am I..?" As the elixir completely healed the wound on his chest, he immediately sent out guards to find the intruder. /p
p data-p-id="d066fcfdfc749ae6013c99c16699dfb4"As guards had surrounded Holly outside, suspecting she was the intruder, I immediately had arrived. "Allow me to take care of them." I said as I quickly took out the guards. As we left through the gate, a delivery van had arrived in front of us. The door had opened up. "Special delivery for number 1 couple of tonight's wedding, please have a seat and enjoy the ride to home!" Pho said while wearing a delivery boy's outfit. Me and Holly looked confused as we got in. Yet we were on our way home with the job completed./p
p data-p-id="bafa2834a074b06eb99e59791fe9930f"br /As we had arrived back at the garage, me and Holly noticed there was much more to it than the bracelet. "Apparently there was more to this wedding than I thought, I found a vault which for some reason was open, as well as a delivery van in the back of the building. Now I'll have you know this happened after I shot Jake and left. I simply knocked out the delivery boy, took his clothes, as well as all of this. Diamonds, gold bars and a lot of galactic Zenny. You could say that the mission was definitely a success, cause we don't even need to sell the bracelet anymore!" /p
p data-p-id="dc7cf9c3b9cfaf516e38c278bbf8fd25"I scratched the back of my head. "Well there were no casualties, so I'm happy about that. Wouldn't have wanted innocent people to get hurt, well there would've been had it not been for the elixir." Pho nodded in agreement. "Good job, both of you! I'm sure you enjoyed this as well and got to know each other even better. I'll go put all of this in a safe place and start looking into some galactic trades, you both should rest up." Me and Holly nodded in agreement./p
p data-p-id="747b6be10df8b81abbded3ff7bb9f798"br /The two of us went to our room, as I was staring at the moon through the window and Holly was sitting on the bed. "Hey, Ty? Was what happened at the wedding all like, just for the job to you?" she asked. "No, not at all." I said as I walked over to the bed and sat next to her. "Matter of fact, can you give me your left arm for a second?" I asked. She lifted her left arm, I put the bracelet I took on her arm. "I don't care about money honestly, I'd say I care more about your happiness and safety." Holly blushed slightly as she looked at the bracelet. "Do you really mean that?" she asked as she looked me in the eyes. "Yes, I mean every word of it." Holly looked away. "You're really gonna have to learn more about this entire love thing soon, I need you to do so." I scratched the back of my head. She looked at me again. "We might be a bit too young for this entire marriage thing, and I don't understand everything just yet. But I suppose I can say that I feel this love with you." Holly blushed even more, she rested her head against my chest. "How can you not blush at all, idiot.." I smiled. "I prefer to smile, it brings out the best in me I'd say. "You are too much to handle for me at this point on, all of this is also happening so fast." She said. "Then you'll just have to deal with it, because a lot of things are happening fast. However I will always protect you and be here." I said as we looked each other deep in the eyes. "Please, share that gesture with me once more Tyson.." I nodded and kissed her on the lips. As we closed our eyes and kissed on the bed with me laying on top of her. We spent the night sharing the very gesture she wanted us to share. As tomorrow, there might have been something new awaiting us again./p

"Special delivery for number 1 couple of tonight's wedding, please have a seat and enjoy the ride to home!" Pho said while wearing a delivery boy's outfit. Me and Holly looked confused as we got in. Yet we were on our way home with the job completed./p

"Apparently there was more to this wedding than I thought, I found a vault which for some reason was open, as well as a delivery van in the back of the building. Now I'll have you know this happened after I shot Jake and left. I simply knocked out the delivery boy, took his clothes, as well as all of this. Diamonds, gold bars and a lot of galactic Zenny. You could say that the mission was definitely a success, cause we don't even need to sell the bracelet anymore!" /p
p data-p-id="dc7cf9c3b9cfaf516e38c278bbf8fd25"I scratched the back of my head. "Well there were no casualties, so I'm happy about that. Wouldn't have wanted innocent people to get hurt, well there would've been had it not been for the elixir." Pho nodded in agreement. "Good job, both of you! I'm sure you enjoyed this as well and got to know each other even better. I'll go put all of this in a safe place and start looking into some galactic trades, you both should rest up." Me and Holly nodded in agreement./p

Was what happened at the wedding all like, just for the job to you?" she asked. "No, not at all." I said as I walked over to the bed and sat next to her. "Matter of fact, can you give me your left arm for a second?" I asked. She lifted her left arm, I put the bracelet I took on her arm. "I don't care about money honestly, I'd say I care more about your happiness and safety." Holly blushed slightly as she looked at the bracelet. "Do you really mean that?" she asked as she looked me in the eyes. "Yes, I mean every word of it." Holly looked away. "You're really gonna have to learn more about this entire love thing soon, I need you to do so." I scratched the back of my head. She looked at me again. "We might be a bit too young for this entire marriage thing, and I don't understand everything just yet. But I suppose I can say that I feel this love with you." Holly blushed even more, she rested her head against my chest. "How can you not blush at all, idiot.." I smiled. "I prefer to smile, it brings out the best in me I'd say. "You are too much to handle for me at this point on, all of this is also happening so fast." She said. "Then you'll just have to deal with it, because a lot of things are happening fast. However I will always protect you and be here." I said as we looked each other deep in the eyes. "Please, share that gesture with me once more Tyson.." I nodded and kissed her on the lips. As we closed our eyes and kissed on the bed with me laying on top of her. We spent the night sharing the very gesture she wanted us to share. As tomorrow, there might have been something new awaiting us again./p
