Chapter Ten: Jail birds

(Maria's POV)

I had never felt happier in my life, nothing pleased me more then being able to say Erek was my fiancé. So here we were, Erek and I, with Daniel, Jenny, and Lourdes help planning our wedding, which would be held in august.

We only had just one problem… what church to do it at.

"St. Johns!" I shouted.

"But I'm not catholic!" Erek protested.

"To bad, you can live with it." I argued.

Erek crossed his arms.

Then I had an idea; I let holographic tears well up in my eyes, "Pleeease Erek, please, it was always my mother's wish I was married in a old Catholic church like St. John's"

Erek's face softened, he took my hand in his, "Whatever you want…wait you don't have a mother!"

I quickly changed the subject, "So now that we have our church, we should probably decide what food we want."

"Mountain Dew" Erek suggested.

"Humm I think champagne would be nice." I said.

"Yeah but it's a little, sophisticated don't you think?" Erek said.

"And what's wrong with that?" I asked angrily.

"Guys could we do this later, we're going to be late for our dress fittings." Lourdes said.

"Alright, its champagne then" I said.

"Mountain Dew."

"Champagne"

"Mountain Dew!"

"Champagne!"

"Mountain Dew!"

"Beer." Daniel interjected.

We both looked at him.

"What, beer is good!" Daniel said.

Everyone just stared at Daniel.

"He has a point" Erek said.

I just rolled my eyes.

……………………………………

Lourdes and Jenny were going to be my bridesmaids, so we all went to "Lily's Wedding and Special occasion's dresses".

Lily's was a big white and pink store with dresses hanging everywhere.

"Hello darlings, you must Ms. Maria Strangfos?" asked a blonde woman.

"Yes." I said.

"So what type of wedding dress are you looking for Ms. Maria?" Lily asked.

"Well, you see money is no object for me, so the best." I said boasted, just a little.

"Oh really?" Lily said raising an eyebrow, "Well, yes of course we'll get you the best, but your choices may be a little limited."

"Limited?" I asked, suspiciously

"Yes, you will probably need one of the larger dresses." Lily said.

I turned around to Lourdes and Jenny, "Did she just say what I thought she said?"

"Maria, maybe we should go." Lourdes suggested.

"NOW IF YOU DON'T GET MY THE BEST, AND I'M TALKING ABOUT ABSOLUTE BEST, I WILL MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN, DO YOU HEAR ME LILY? BECAUSE I DON'T THINK YOU DO! YOU MAKE ME SICK" I screamed.

Lily cringed, and said "Y-yess Ma'm w-wil do ma'm."

I grinned evilly.


"Do you think this tuxedo makes me look fat?" Asked Daniel.

I looked at Daniel's pink tuxedo and sighed, "Daniel, that's the wrong tuxedo"

"Oh, good, because I really do think it makes me look fat." He said.

Suddenly my phone rang.

It was Maria.

"Hello?" I answered.

"I'm in jail, that stupid scum eating r-"

"WHAT? You're in jail?" I screamed

"Yeah and you would think they would have better cells, here but they still are the same as they were in 60's. And get this Erek, the morons that work here call themselves police officers, all they do is sit around playing with their handcuffs, idiots." Maria said angrily.

"Wh- what did you do?" I whispered.

"Oh, nothing big, I just stole some dresses from Lily's. You know your income last week was 99.5 % less then it was l the week before. I'm sorry to say this Erek but I think we might go bankrupt." Maria said conversationally.

I grimaced, a reenactor's pay check isn't a lot, I know I have millions of dollars from over the years but I would rather not use them unless for an emergency , and we were already using some of that money for the wedding.

"Okay…I'm coming to get you, but we are going to do this my way, got it?" I said.

"Okay." Maria said.

I shut my cell phone.

I turned around to see Daniel posing in the mirror and quietly singing "I'm too sexy" to himself.

"Sorry to interrupt your err- concert Daniel, but we are going to have to break, Jenny, Maria, and Lourdes out of jail." I smirked.

"How did they- wait I probably don't want to know do I?" Daniel said.


"Soda-Freak to Mercedes-Man, do you read me Mercedes-Man? Over?" I said into my two-wave radio.

"I read you Soda-freak. Are you sure this is a good idea? Err- I mean should we abort this mission? Over." Daniel's voices said from the radio.

It was later that night, Daniel and I decided that if we were going to get them out of jail- in which we did debate leaving them there all together or not, but Maria would drink our blood,( if that was possible) if we didn't get them.

"Negative. We stick to the mission. Now remember, we climb through the window, brake Maria, Jenny, and Lourdes out, and make it look like the whole thing never happened." I said strategically.

"Umm Soda-Freak, why are we talking on these when we are standing right next to each other? Over." Daniel said.

"Cuz, it's cool." I said.

We walked around the police building until we found the window near the cell that Maria, Jenny, and Lourdes were in.

I jumped through the open window with ease.

I landed silently in the room, were a officer was snoring, a newspaper in his hands.

"Erek!" Coursed Jenny, Maria, and Lourdes.

I picked the lock on the cell, I used to be a lock smith back in Paris, France 1796.

Suddenly Maria did something unexpected, she screamed.

I put my hand over her mouth, "what the heck are you trying to do?"

The officer awoke.

"THE PRISONERS ARE ESCAPING! " He screamed.

"Making things more interesting, what does it look like?" Maria said answering my question.
