It had been two weeks since Marques had been shipped back to his own planet with the rest of his men. Tech was busy with a list of formalities to deal with, but with Rev helping her out, things went along much faster than they would have. She managed to organize not only her brother's coronation for next week, but she also started to set up the arrangements for the double wedding. She and Lexi had agreed on a double wedding on the planet Coyotus.
Rev's, Lexi's, and Ace's families would all be arriving with Zadavia today. Technacalice was nervous. As Tech, the super genius of the Loonatics, she hadn't exactly gotten along with Rev's family, save for maybe his little brother, Rip. As Technacalice, the princess of Coyotus, she was about to become part of the family. In her mind she was worrying that Rev's parents would never talk to him again, and it would be all her fault.
"Hey-Tech-do-you-like-being-a-princess-other-than-the-fact-that-you-can't-invent?" Rev had been asking a few questions here and there about her life on this world, but he hadn't yet asked her of if she liked it. She put down the document she was writing and thought about it.
"Not really, I mean, I grew up with this life, sure, but I never really liked being treated like I wasn't going to amount to anything. My parents were always busy with my brother. My siblings and the servants literally had to raise me. It's not for a lack of trying on my parents part, but still… I wish that I had had more time with them. No, I don't really think I liked being a princess when all I really had to do was put up with a dress and some formalities. It just wasn't my thing. I'd rather spend a day dealing with our usual problems as the Loonatics then as a princess, especially since I had less problems being Tech than Techna." She smirked. Rev smiled.
"Uh, hate ta interrupt ya tender moment, you guys, but Zadavia and the others have arrived. They're at the docks just waiting for us to show up." Ace smiled from the door's edge.
"Right, chief." Tech and Rev started towards the door. "Rev, you should run on ahead before your parents freak out towards the locals. I need to change into a proper gown for greeting people and unfortunately, it's not my uniform."
Tech only needed ten minutes to become Princess Technacalice and walked with Lexi towards the ship. She groaned inwardly as she realized she hadn't shown her "New Form" to Zadavia. She was wearing the same dress that she had worn on the day that the Loonatics had come to save her sorry tail. She felt her nerves tighten as she recognized Zadavia and Rev's family talking to Rev and Ace. There were also a few dozen rabbits and bunnies with them, which Tech assumed to be Ace and Lexi's families.
Lexi was wearing another pink dress that had been given to her by Tiana. This one looked more like a princess gown with puffy shoulders, but a slim form. Lexi smiled at Technacalice as though she could read her mind. "Everything's going to be fine. Remember, you're still our Tech."
"Yes, but if you remember how Rev's family reacted last time…"
"True, but they don't matter, our friends do, and besides…" She smiled confidently to her "new" girlfriend. "We do come equipped with super powers. They'll get over it or answer to me." Tech chuckled, silently hoping that Lexi was just joking.
"Heh, thanks, Lex."
As they stopped in front of the group, Rev's parents were eying the "new" Tech with concern and confusion. They had been expecting Tech, not this pretty coyote in a dress with Lexi by her side.
Tech bit her lip, waiting for someone to start yelling at her, or something. She was surprised when the first one to react was Rip, Rev's little brother. He let out a short whistle and asked, "How come Rev's always the lucky one?"
Everyone chuckled a little at that and the mood seemed to lighten up. Techna curtsied slightly, as was proper for a princess. "Welcome to Coyotus. I am your host, Princess Technacalice Electrica Coyote. It is good to see you all here." She turned her gaze slightly towards her old boss, who was now a good and dear friend to the team. Zadavia hadn't seemed to recognize her yet. "I'll show you all to your rooms. You can take a tour tomorrow. The wedding is next week, I'm afraid, so I do apologize if you have busy schedules." She was as nervous as she had been when she had started being Tech, or when she had returned to her form of Techna. It was all a bit much for her.
After showing the Bunny families and the Runner family to their rooms, the others had left Tech and Rev with Zadavia to show her the way to her room. She had a guest suite that was fit to accommodate a single person, especially one of royalty like Zadavia.
"I hope this will be to your liking. Thank you for coming."
Zadavia smiled kindly to the brown coyote. "Thank you for inviting me, Tech. I'm glad that everything worked out."
Tech gave her signature smirk when she was almost done with something. "Me too."
