Day 198

Yeah when you're on holidays you tend to forget what day it is; fortunately this story has kept me up to date. Glad it was a surprise though.

Disclaimer: There are no words to describe…how annoying it is to think of something funny. I don't own it!

"So do you know what kind of suits Jenny wants us to wear?" Dex questioned from the wardrobe in Zap's old room. The pilot was keeping himself busy by tossing a ball at the roof and catching it repeatedly.

He caught the ball again, rolling it in his palms. "She said we can wear whatever so long as it was black tie."

"Really?" his head poked out from behind the door. "Wow, she's not like Jane was when she was planning our wedding."

Zap threw the ball once again. "Thanks for being so cool about this, man," his only reply was a grunt.

The boys were thankful when Tung walked in to the room, breaking the awkward silence between them.

"Hey Zap, you wanna here what I have prepared of my speech as your best man?" Zap's gaze flicked over to Dex, both sharing a knowing and almost guilty smile.

"Yeah, sure," he humoured, spinning around in his spot and lying on his stomach on the bed. Tung cleared his throat and uncrumpled the piece of paper in his hand.

"Hello everyone, I'm Tung, Zap's best man," he began in a robotic, rehearsed voice; his head snapping up dangerously every few seconds to maintain eye contact. Zap had to stifle a laugh at his appearance.

"I've known Zap ever since we both came to the habitat. At first he was always angry and moody, and now, it doesn't bother me as much. But as long as I've known him, he has always treated Jenny better than the rest. He never barked at her, hit her on the head or yelled at her like he did the rest of us. And then there's Jenny; smart, funny and cute, Zap's words, and even though she's bossy, Zap still manages to like her. I wish both of them a bucket load of happiness in their future together as the worlds most unstable yet balanced couple in the world."

As the frog boy looked up again, he noticed the pilot's jaw hanging open with the corners of his lips tilted up. Tung gazed around the room, falling nervous at the sight of Dex's grim look. Zap was the first to clear his throat.

"That was, uh, something," he stuttered, wiping the corner of his mouth. He smirked a little as his gaze fell on to Tung's wide, puppy dog eyes. "It was really good, Tung."

"You think so?" he said hopefully, clutching the piece of paper to his chest. Dex strolled over to pat a hand on Tung's shoulder.

"Yeah it really is," Zap continued, clambering off the bed to address the frog boy properly. "And I think it would be really nice if I had a best man or we were giving out speeches."

His big red eyes lowered to the ground. "Oh, I understand."

"Well, maybe Zap can talk to Jenny?" Dex suggested kindly, staring intently over at the groom.

"Oh, yeah, sure," the pilot stammered in reply, his mind already racing with what he was going to say to the clone later. "Yeah she should be cool with that."

"Awesome, dude," Tung shouted, shoving the piece of paper back in to his pocket. His hand reached in to his other pocket and pulled out a different sheet. "You wanna hear the menu I've planned for your wedding feast?"

Aw poor innocent Tung; he's just so adorable and clueless. R&R! Wanted to finish this one early while I still have ideas.
