"Mose…let me explain the rules to you again…" Alex sighed in exasperation as she shifted the sumo suit into a more comfortable position. "You are supposed to try and tackle me and hold me down for three whole seconds…not knock me over and run away…that's just being a bully…not an ultimate fighter…"

Mose giggled and nodded, "I'll be on top…" He snorted. Alex rolled her eyes.

"Yes. If you can get up there."

"Okay…ready?" Daryl asked giving Alex a flirtatious smile.

"Yeah, hurry before I pee the sumo suit." Alex muttered waddling back over to her side of the ring. Mose smiled and got into position as well.

"You shall descent fair lady." He shouted jumping up and down despite his heavy suit.

"Yeah…I'll take you down too Mose." Alex said with an encouraging smile. Daryl raised his arms and signaled for them to go. Before Alex could move, Mose was coming at her and knocking her down. But instead of running away, he body slammed her. "Ow! Ow! Mose! It's been three seconds!" The young Martin tried to laugh it off, but he kept bouncing up and down on her.

"Mose! You win buddy!" Daryl patted the farmer's black helmet. "You can get off her!"

"Who is your paternal guardian?" Mose asked as he straddled his opponent.

"What?" Alex squealed as she tried to move out from under him.

"MOSE SCHRUTE! Remove yourself from my baby sister this instant!" Angela shrieked as she ran over and grabbed the man's arm. "Get off of her right now! She is a child!" When he didn't budge she jumped on his back and pulled backwards.

"Angie? What the hell?" Alex grunted when her sister added more weight. She was ignored though.

"Dwight help!" Angela shouted as her fiancé approached. Dwight didn't hesitate before hurrying over reaching around Angela and pulling her and Mose off of a bewildered Alex.

/

"Angie was always the drama queen of the four sisters." Alex said matter-of-factly. "Which is quite the accomplishment considering that we come from a conservative…very strict Baptist family."

/

"We were just sumo wrestling." Alex tried not to laugh as Angela pulled her upright roughly. "I don't THINK he whipped it out at any point…but you know…I could be wrong."

"Alexandra!"

"We used protection Angie!"

"He was straddling you!"

"It was consensual!"

With a frustrated huff, Angela shook her head and stormed off. By that point Dwight had helped Mose out of his suit and the two were watching the sister's argue intrigued.

/

"I love it when she's angry." Mose said shyly.

/

"I don't understand what the big deal is." Alex shrugged impishly. "I mean, I'm not really in the position to date right now…even if I was…why would I date my future brother-in-law's cousin? I might be into agricultural hobbies…but…"

/

"Okay everyone! Kevin has officially damaged the last moon bounce!" Michael said into the microphone. "It has been patched…but only one person at a time…and that one person must weigh under one hundred and twenty pounds." He gestured Phyllis and chuckled.

"So all that's left are some fat suits and a trampoline?" Logan laughed and shook his head. "This party sucks."

"Don't let Angela hear that." Jim warned, "She will probably kill you."

After gathering a sandwich and some chips, Alex wandered around looking for somewhere to sit. She smiled when she saw an empty seat next to Oscar's brother.

"Hi." She said placing herself next to Antonio and holding out her hand. "I don't think we've met, I'm Alex Martin. Angela's sister." Antonio ignored her hand and turned back to fiddling with his drink.

"I'm married." He muttered gesturing his wife who was approaching the table with a suspicious glint in her eye.

/

"Monkey." Dwight greeted his fiancé as he sat next to her at a table near the back of the warehouse. "You okay?"

Angela nodded and took a sip of her tea. "They forgot to deliver the veggie subs." She sighed. Dwight kissed the side of her head and pulled a granola bar out of his pocket.

"It's the berry and nut kind you like so much."

"Thank you." She said quietly as she opened the snack. After a few moments of silence she looked up at him with big worried brown eyes. "Am I a mean sister?"

Dwight almost missed the question because he was so focused on playing with her hair between his fingers. "No!" He said once it registered. "No you are not! You are amazing. Alex loves you. And I'm sure the Abigail does too. I'll omit Allison for your sake."

Angela nodded and gave him a small kiss. "Thank you. I just had to be sure."

/

"Hey Mose, can I ask you something?" Alex said approaching the man with caution. Mose immediately straightened up and swallowed the last of his sandwich whole.

"Okay." He muttered through his mouth-full.

"You and your cousin…Dwight…" Alex began slowly, as she sat next to him. "Do you…Are you…what…do you believe in…in terms of religion…?"

Mose thought for a moment, and swallowed before answering, "I think we're Buddhist." He answered confidently. "Dwight collects statues of fat people."

Alex stared at him, "So you're not Christians?"

"No. Dwight believes we are our own god." Mose said with a proud smile. Alex couldn't help but feel shocked at this piece of information.

"Does Angela know this?"

"I think so…I mean…" Before he could go on, Alex had stormed off.

/

"It's hot in here." Angela complained letting Dwight take the empty granola wrapper and shove it in his discarded cup. "How much longer until we can go?"

"Oh I don't know, probably another hour or so…" Dwight's response was cut of by an irate Alex.

"Angela! You're dating a Jain?" She practically shouted.

"Alexandra!" Angela stood up.

"Dwight practices Jainism!" Alex exclaimed pointing at the bewildered farmer accusingly. "Which is way worse than an Atheist! How on earth could you hold a grudge against Ally, when you're about to marry someone who advocates dharma?"

"I do NOT!" Dwight boomed in offense. By this time the whole party had turned their attention to the three.

"You see yourself as a god Dwight! Which I will not judge you for! Liberate away!" Alex said with a small wave as though she were shooing him, "But I do judge my sister, who thinks that she's so much better than her sister who loves a man that chooses not to believe in a god. When she's dating a man who thinks he IS a god!"

"Alex, this is different." Angela sighed rubbing her forehead.

"Why because it's you?" Alex demanded her hands on her hips. "Angela, I'm a democrat. I'm all for mixing it up and trying new things…that's why I support Allison's marriage, and I'll support yours. And I've backed Abby's marriage up even though her husband gets a spray on tan.

But now that you've seen that inter-religious relationships are wonderful, can't you patch thing up with Ally?"

As she took a deep breath, Angela shook her head. "No."

Alex gave her own version of the Martin glare before pointing at her. "You…are a hypocrite." She growled before storming off.

So I'm not to religion savvy when it comes to non-Christian things. So I don't know TOO much about Jainism…so if anyone reading this is a Jain…sorry if I got anything wrong…
