Stay away…'cause I can't stay away-ay.
Serenity woke in her own room with Jim next to her, wide awake. He messed up her brown hair a little more.
"Mornin' babe" he said.
"Hey to you too, Dream".
"Why do you call me that?".
"It's the name of the Sandman from a show or manga I know called Sandman: Sleepless Nights".
"Hm…can't say I didn't learn anything today. Hey Serenity, I got a question for you".
"Yeah?".
"I know it's a little soon, and I ain't got nothing to give ya, but…I want ya to marry me, Kid".
Serenity looked at him. "What?!".
"I'm serious. I know somewhere we can do this, and it doesn't even have to be public. I know just the person to marry us, so it'll all be perfect".
"Are you sure you want this? What if someone finds out?".
Jim shrugged. "I they find out, they find out. Who cares? It's not like they can do anything about it".
"Well…who's marrying us".
"My friend Tom".
"Tommy Dreamer is going to marry us?".
"Yep. I've already talked to him about it. He hates this war every bit as much as I do. He has a soft spot for newbies, and he knows if this keeps up, it'll tear ECW apart permanently".
"So…we'd do ECW a favor by doing this, and I'd still get to be with you?".
"You bet".
Serenity smiled. "Then yes, I'll marry you. When should we?".
The phone rang. Jim picked it up. "Yeah. Yeah, she said yes, man. Alright, we'll meet ya there. Thanks a bunch. See ya. That was Tom. He wants us to meet him at the church downtown. Think we can do that?".
"Do I have to look nice?".
"Wear a dress? Nah…hell, just wear a shirt and jeans, I don't care. It's not like anyone but Tommy's gonna know about this".
"Alright".
Serenity got up and changed while Jim went back to his room and did the same. For once everything was turning out perfectly. He'd be ending this stupid war all the while getting the girl of his dreams.
Serenity met him outside, wearing a nice blue shirt and white shorts. So much for shirt and jeans. Hey, it was warm, why not take advantage of that? Serenity smiled.
"You ready for the biggest day of your life?" Jim asked.
Serenity took his hand. "Yeah…and it's all because of you".
"Alright, let's get the hell outta here".

"Where've you been?!" Tom met them at the church, "You were supposed to be half an hour ago".
"We got stuck in traffic. Sorry to keep you waiting, Tom. Oh, intro…Tom, Serenity, Serenity, this Tom Laughlin".
"Nice to meet you, Serenity" Tom shook her hand, "Now, shall we begin? Come on in".
A/N: Well, I think you know what happens in there. Next chapter: Elijah threatens Serenity again. But will this threat be played out? And will Serenity have it in her to tell her brother about her marriage?
