Our story part 1:

(In which Aislin basically rants about every single quintis thing to ever happen ever.)

"I'm confused," the wedding planner, Lauren, stated. She had been in their home for about 15 minutes, and already she could tell that it could be a rough ride.

"Typical normal," Happy muttered sarcastically. She was against having a wedding planner, but Toby had argued that they disagreed on too much and they needed someone to pull it all together.

"Play nice," Toby chastised. "What don't you understand?"

"So you," she pointed at Happy, "Basically don't want anything flashy or showy, and you," she turned to look at Toby, "Want something people will be jealous of?"

"How hard is that to understand?" Happy asked.

"We need you to find a middle ground," Toby informed Lauren.

"No, it's not that I don't understand how to plan a wedding," Lauren laughed. "I just- you're clearly so different. How did you even end up together?"

"That's not what we're paying you for," Happy pointed out.

"What if I told you it would help me plan your wedding, and I made all my customers tell me?"

"I wouldn't believe you," Happy answered.

"What if I wouldn't charge you, and it would actually help me plan your wedding by getting to know you better?"

Happy sighed, "Doc, you can start talking."

"So, once upon a time, I gambled a lot. I had to get my way through med school somehow, you know?" He started. "But the thing was that even after I got through med school I didn't stop. And god was I good at it. No one can see through a poker face as well as I can.I won so much cash, but that pissed a lot of people off.

"I wound up in a lot of bad places, and eventually had to leave New York to escape some bad bad people. And then I was in LA, but I didn't stop gambling."

"Because he's an idiot," Happy interjected.

"Because I'm an idiot," He agreed smiling. "So, I got myself in a bad place again. And that's when Walter found me. He offered me a job. That's how Happy and I met, at work. I swear to god the first thing I thought when I saw her was 'She is going to kill me.' "

"To be fair I had just thrown a hammer, a screwdriver, and a wrench at you," She laughed.

"She had just done that," He affirmed. "And that really set how our relationship functioned back then. I would endlessly bother her with psychoanalysis and general annoyingness, and she would throw things at me and insult me."

"It was a friendship," She seemed defensive.

"Yeah it was. I had a fiancé, and Happy sometimes went out on odd dates. And as time went on I kept gambling, and Amy left me. And I kept gambling and gambling and gambling. I would get money, and gamble it away in an instant. I was basically homeless for-"

"We don't need to hear about the gambling, Doc," Happy cut him off.

"Fine, fine. So yeah the gambling was bad and Scorpion was on its knees. I gambled away the little money we had and we were all about to kill one another. That's when a ray of sunshine landed on our company. We met Paige and Ralph. The team bonded back into place, and everything started to feel just about perfect.

"We started getting jobs that actually required us to use our brains. We weren't just a genius IT crowd anymore. We went on missions, and I eventually realized my feelings for Happy, but she didn't like me back yet, so I didn't do anything about it. I mean it's not like I wasn't obvious. I defended her to Collins. I made comments. I even tried, unsuccessfully, to ask her out on a date to a monster truck rally.

"And then Bosnia was when I finally confessed feelings out loud. I'd lost my hat, which was hard for me, you know? She'd hurt her ankle, and I was treating it. We were lost. I mean we could've died. Happy didn't take down her armor, which was normal. But later she came up to me, and she thanked me for looking after her, which was abnormal."

"He told me that he could take better care of me, and I told him it was good that he would never give up," Happy kept talking.

"It wasn't much, but it was something. I'm a shrink. I knew she liked me. She just wouldn't accept it for a while. Happy got me a new hat for Christmas. People who don't care don't do that for you. And then I decided to see if I could get a emotional response out of her. I flirted with a CIA agent, and actively pointed it out to Happy. She told me to shut up, which was the exact response that I wanted. She was jealous." He rambled.

"I was not," She retaliated.

"You were too." Before Happy could interrupt again, he continued, "And then we had a conversation with Ralph about a crush he had on his best friend. I was telling him that he needed to be persistent because some girls need persuading. Happy told him to be patient because the girl had probably never had a best friend like him before, and it probably meant alot to her. This was obviously not about Ralph."

"I mean it could have been. I was giving you both advice at the same time. I was being efficient," She argued.

"God, you and Walter and your efficiency," He complained. "Anyhow, we set up a fireworks show for Ralph and Sloan at the school. It was supposed to say 'Happy Valentine's day Sloan, love Ralph', but the P was backwards."

"Love can misspelled and messy but still work, it just needs to be given a chance." Happy quoted.

"That's what I told her, and I leaned in to kiss her. But because nothing can ever go smoothly with us, she stopped me and asked what I was doing. I asked if she was going to punch me. She smirked and said she didn't think so, aaaaaaannnnnndddddd the principal interrupted. And then the miracle happened. A week and a half later she kissed me."

"You're ruining it as we speak," Happy rolled her eyes.

"She still refused to go out on a date with me, but we were about to die again. And I very very nearly told her I was in love with her."

"Please the only word you missed out was the you," she corrected.

"Right, so I told her I loved her, and then later I told her I meant it. Because I did. I mean come on, how can you not love that," he gestured wildly at her. She rolled her eyes at his antics. "And then I bet her that if she couldn't get a paper airplane in an open window across from our building. And I won."

"To be fair a truck hit that plane," Happy complained. "I would have gotten it in the window."

"So you're gambling finally got you something good? You got together because of this bet?" Lauren seemed to think the story was over.

"Not quite." They said together.
