Day 208

Ok, so it's very close to the wedding, and I have to say all of you reviewers are right on the money…just a little bit off though. Enjoy this cute little chapter.

Disclaimer: Honest and true, I don't own Fanfiction...what?

'Where do they keep the water around here?' the clone wondered as she moved through the maze of halls. It seemed the further she walked away from her hotel room, the darker the rooms became.

'There's got to be a kitchen around here somewhere…ah,' she exclaimed once the desired room was found. She activated the door and made a bee-line to the sink, pouring herself a large beaker before setting it aside. Jenny grasped the edge of the metallic sink, feeling all the colour drain from her face. She moved her head to the direction of the door, where the sound of footsteps approaching grew stronger.

They stopped suddenly on the other side; as though sensing the presence of someone else. Jenny walked up to the door and pressed her ear against the cold metal, hearing the familiar rhythmic breathing.

"Zap?" she questioned impulsively, feeling nervous as the shoes scuffed at the ground.

"Jenny?" the voice replied in its rough tone, turning her insides to velvet at the sound. The clone pulled her ear away and held a finger in front of the door activator.

"Don't open the door!" he shouted immediately. The clone raised an eyebrow, wondering how he knew what she was going to do. He cleared his throat in a quick apology. "Dex said it's bad luck if we see each other before the wedding."

"Yeah, Jane mentioned something like that too," she spoke through the door, pulling her body closer for better acoustics.

"What are you doing down here?" his question caught the clone off guard. Jenny moved her head around the room frantically, before finally settling on the beaker full of water that sat on the bench top.

"I, uh, came down for a drink," she answered. "Why are you down here?"

Silence followed her question, her nerves tingling with every second that passed.

"Um, I just needed some air?" from the other side of the door, Jenny released a calm breath, a smile growing wide on her lips.

"You ran away too, huh?" she slid down the cold metal until the clone sat on the floor, oblivious to the fact that Zap had done the same thing.

"Yeah," he murmured, his mind flashing back to the memory.

"Zap, you've got everyone's suits?" Dex questioned as the group left the ship. They had parked right next to the habitat's other ship, indicating that the girls were already there. The pilot rolled his eyes before checking the huge pile of stuff in his arms.

"Yes, I'm sure the suits are among these, somewhere."

"You can't just be sure mate," Dex shouted over the groans from the tracker as he pushed a cart up the hill. "Check properly if you have the suits; you can't have this sloppy kind of behaviour once you're married."

Zap felt his face cover in a full sweat, almost now realising that he was about to take the biggest step in his life.

'What if I screw it up?'

'What if she wants to leave me?'

"Zap?"

"Ah, yeah I think the suits are still in the ship," the pilot shouted, dropping all the items at his feet and sprinting back to their craft. Dex's huff of annoyance could be heard as Zap continued his run towards the ship.

"All right, but hurry back. We'll meet you in our hotel room."

"And now I can't find the hotel room," Zap finished explaining to a very quiet Jenny. He was a little surprised to hear a bit of muffled giggling, before the girl released a groan.

"I wish there was a way out of this," she raked her fingers through her hair. "No pressure for the ceremony, or from anyone else. Just us getting married."

"We could elope?" he suggested, staring at the door. Jenny's eyes unknowingly locked with his through the solid metal. His head bowed a little in disappointment. "But…I couldn't do that to everyone."

"Neither can I," she admitted, placing her hand on the door in a form of comfort. "They've done so much for us…so they need to be a part of it."

"Do you think we should postpone the wedding?" he questioned nervously, wondering if he had said the wrong thing. "Do you think perhaps, we're too young for this?"

"If we postpone it then it'll never happen," she said with lightness in her voice. Zap placed his hand on the door, right where hers was. "I think it's better if we get married tomorrow."

His trademark smirk returned to his lips, shaking his head at her knowledge. "You're right," he replied, his finger playing with the shoelace on his brown boots. "I love you."

"I love you too," she answered, a little surprised with his tone of voice. "So, just track Dex's wristcom and you'll find you room."

She heard a little slap from the other side of the door, probably the pilot hitting himself for his idiocy. "Thanks," he mumbled begrudgingly. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Probably," she said with a bit of sass, standing up and crossing her arms.

"I'll go to the ends of the galaxy to find you," he stood up too, smiling at the door.

"I believe that," his footsteps echoed at an even pace as he left. The clone closed her eyes and listened, her body relaxing with every step. Once she knew the coast was clear, she activated the door and walked out, but hurried back in to grab her glass of water.

I love this because I've had it planned for so long. Hope you enjoyed adorable cheese! R&R!
