/Glamour and Guns/

When the door opened to their bedroom, Garrus and Shepard were amazed at what they saw!

The apartment looked like no one had been there but them. Everything was spotless from top to bottom, to the point that if an apartment could sparkle, it would.

"Well" said Shepard, taking in the scene with a surprised chuckle "that's unexpected. We should have everyone over more often."

"Well, they didn't get everything." replied Garrus, holding what looked like two notes – one addressed to her, and one to Garrus.

"Notes, eh?" muttered Shepard "how clandestine…"

She opened hers up, and recognized the flowing Quarian script as Tali's handwriting:

Shepard! Liara, Solana, Traynor and I are waiting for you at the casino!

Once you tear yourself away from Garrus and get dressed (and I know how hard it can be), meet us there for a day out with us! We need to shop for dresses for the wedding, anyway!

~Tali

"Well" said Shepard looking up from her note, "it looks like my day is set."

Giving Garrus a deep kiss and a slap on his ass, she said "You going to be ok without me for a day, big guy?"

"Oh, I think I'll survive," replied Garrus as he read his note "it looks like Grunt, Vega have plans for me as well."

Garrus' note was written much less eloquently, showing that James wrote it:

Scars!

Grunt and I are waiting for you at the Armax Combat Arena on the strip! Get your ass down here and let's blow some shit up!

I know you've got trouble tearing yourself away from Lola, but man up and let's do this!

~Vega

"Well, it's not trying on dresses and having cake", teased Garrus as he embraced his fiancée before they both left for the day "but I'll do my best to keep the boys out of trouble."

"I'll hold you to that, Vakarian" replied Shepard with a wink. "We're going to need the Normandy crew at full strength once this reprieve is over." With that, she opened the door and left to meet her girls.

"Yes, ma'am" called Garrus after her as he grabbed his Black Widow that Legion gave him and racked the slide and checked the scope. "I aim to please."

He slung the massive rifle over his shoulder, and as it compressed to fit his armor, he couldn't help but picture Shepard in her wedding dress.

"I aim to please, indeed."
