Last Time On The USS Pendragon...

The crew was forced to witness a terrible tragedy as their Commanding Officer seemed to have some rather delicious looking green liquid explode from within. A week has passed since that incident and it is now time for something a bit happier.

A wedding is scheduled to take place on the beaches of Betazed between Mikal Luchena and Ashley Yates. Friends and crew have assembled to witness this historic event.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

SCENERY: As the guests step onto the beach, several dozen mini green palm frawns, with peach roses in the center of each leaf, form a path toward the deep green chairs. The white wedding arch is a mere two feet from the shore. The ocean's waves can be seen crashing onto the warm white sand.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Heather Grant makes her way onto the beach, not really sure what to do at this point in time. She was not really into the wedding thing. She just hopes that her flowers look nice::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
CEO:  How do I look?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CIV: You look fine. Quit obsessing about it.

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
::Ashley remains in a back room, looking at herself in the mirror. She can feel her body shaking slightly::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over at Ashley as she helps her get ready::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
CEO:  I can't believe we're going ahead with this so soon after...  ::looks sad::

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
Thraxis: Is this really happening today? ::She cannot help but grin::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::Heather makes her way over to one of the chairs and takes a seat::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::dour:: CIV: It wouldn't have been my first choice either

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
OPS: Hi.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Yates:  You get it is ... ::is finding it hard to smile after the last week she's endured::

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::follows the path towards the chairs::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
ACTO: Hey there, sir. ::She smiles:: ACTO: Are you.. excited? ::She looks a bit down::

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
::Make her way to the beach checking thing out as she approaches.::

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She cannot help but feel Jordan's sadness:: Thraxis: Perhaps we should hold off for a few weeks. To give everyone time to heal?

Host CIV_Luchena says:
CEO:  I don't know how Jordan's going to get through this.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CIV: I'm surprised she's even coming

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::finds a chair and sits::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::shakes her head:: Yates:  No ... Albaron wouldn't want that ... ::voice fades::

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
OPS: Yes.  I think this is great.  Especially to take everyone's mind off ..... everything else.  ::smiles::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
CEO:  How much longer?  ::nervous::

ACTION: Guests begin to pile in toward their seats. The guest list has a total of 37 people scheduled to attend. So far, almost all are present and accounted for.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CIV: We're almost there. ::calm::

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::listens to the ocean::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She shakes her head:: ACTO: But shouldn't our minds be on everything else right now?

A_CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Arrives in his white dress uniform, having enjoyed the scenery on Betazed thus far.  He had never come to this planet before.  The Betazoid population had done a great job with the planet since it was taken by Dominion during the war years ago.::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks at Ashley approvingly:: Yates:  You ready?

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: notices Lt. Ki:: ACTO: I see you decided to come after all.

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She shudders a bit:: Jordan: Not really... but no one is ever really ready until they go out there. Right?

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::frowns and crosses his arms over his chest::  A_FCO:  Humph.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Yates:  Right!  ::hands her the bouquet::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
CEO:  Do you have the ring?

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
OPS: If there is anything we, as officers can do, to change things, then, perhaps.  But, right now, this is my friend Mikal's big moment.  ::smiles::

ACTION: A man wearing a suit and tie walks up to the white archway. He motions for an usher to go and get the Groom.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CIV: Right here ::pats a chest pocket::

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
A_CTO: now you shouldn't take that attitude this is suppose to be a happy occasion.

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::takes a deep breath::  CEO:  Thank you Jose.  For everything.  This can't be an easy time for you either.

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She takes the bouquet and looks over it:: Jordan: I never thought this would happen. ::She cannot help but smile slightly::

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
AFCO: It is.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CIV; Just calm down. Think about the honeymoon.

Usher says:
::He runs in toward the Groom and Best Man:: CIV/CEO: Are we ready, dudes?

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::puts his eyes forward and sits looking grumpy::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::a little sadness in her look:: Yates:  I never thought I'd see the day when Mikal would get married ...

A_CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Nods to a few people and then spots a few of his fellow crewmates and he walks over to them.::  AFCO, ACTO:  Ensign, Lieutenant.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CIV: That’s our cue. Lets go.

Host Michael_Lammel says:
::He knocks on the door where Ashley and Jordan are::

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::nods at the Doctor::

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: looks up at the newcomer:: aCTO: Oh yes it is.

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::follows the CEO as best he can given how wobbly his legs are::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::hears the knock and goes to the door.  Opens it.:: Michael:  She's ready ::smiles::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::leads the groom out::

Host Michael_Lammel says:
 Jordan: Great. ::He steps in and smiles:: A_CO: You look beautiful.

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
A_CMO: Why hello Doctor it is good to see you and don't mind ol grumpy here.:: nods to the A-CTO::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
CEO:  I can't breath... I think I'm going to faint....

Ebony says:
<Ebony> ::finds a seat near the front ... her eyes only on the CEO::

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She smiles:: Jordan: I never thought I'd see the day either. ::She smiles again:: Lammel: Thanks.

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::ignores the AFCO::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::grabs her own bouquet and heads out the door::

A_CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
AFCO, ACTO:  Grumpy?  Why are you grumpy?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
CIV: Please. You *are* the groom. Not the bride. Just chill.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She takes in a deep breath, not really sure what to do::

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
ACMO:  Telepaths... a whole planet of 'em.

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: takes a seat next to the A_CTO::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::takes a couple of deep breaths::

ACTION: Light music begins to play, signifying that the Groom is to take his place under the archway.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::leads the way to where they will enter::

A_CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Sits on the other side of Ensign Shelaya.::  ACTO:  They may come after you if they find out you're NOT having a good time.  ::He smiles.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::walks slowly forward, prodding Mikal::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::gives the CEO a look of pure terror as he takes his place::

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: hears the music:: A_CMO: There is an open seat next to me. :: points to the seat::

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She follows behind Jordan:: Jordan: I... wow.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::slides into a seat quietly::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::reaches the entrance .. signals that the bridal party is ready::

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::glares at the groom::

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
Jordan: Are you ready? ::She smiles:: Jordan: You're the first to go out there... after our flower girl.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::looks for Brian but doesn't see him::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::knees shake::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Yates:  I'm ready .... ::feeling as if she can't do this but forces herself to for Ashley's sake::

ACTION: The wedding music begins to play. Several members of the crowd begin to look around anxiously.

A_CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Smiles at Shelaya.::  AFCO:  Thank you.  Oh, it's about to start.

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::concedes he's not bad looking but still::

ACTION: As the wedding music begins to play, the Flower Girl, Little Ashley, begins to walk down the path, tossing her flowers lightly. Following her, Maid of Honor Jordan Thraxis begins to make her way down the aisle.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::walks slowly down the aisle::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::gives Jordan a weak smile::

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She takes in a deep breath as she watches Jordan walk down the aisle::

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: watches as the procession starts down the path::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::gives Mikal a small smile truly happy for him as she finishes her walk and moves off to the side to take her place::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
::She watches as Jordan walks along the path, not sure what to think about her at the moment::

ACTION: Jordan and Little Ashley take their proper places.

Host CIV_Luchena says:
~~~Jordan:  Thank you~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::looks down at his cat, proud of her::

ACTION: The wedding march begins to play. Ashley Yates is ushered down the aisle by Michael Lammel, her cousin. Her deep brown hair is up in a tight bun, held up with strands of white pearls. Ashley's wedding dress is not the typical one seen on most brides. Her whiter tank top styled dress is covered with white diamonds, her midriff is uncovered, while her long white skirt is studded with the same white diamonds, which form a large shooting star.

A_CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Leans towards Shelaya.::  AFCO:  Is the Lieutenant always like that?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::sees her little kit and tears form::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::watches Ashley::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::smiles sadly as she hears Mikal's words in her head:: ~~~ Mikal:  You deserve happiness, Mikal. ~~~

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
::Ashley begins to walk down the aisle slowly, with Michael's arm looped through her own. She looks around and smiles, while butterflies flutter around inside of her stomach::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::tears fill his eyes.  Quickly blinks them back::

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: whispers back:: A_CMO: No actually he is quite a fun guy most of the time.

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::thinks the Captain looks good.  Wonders who tailored her gown::

ACTION: The Bride reaches the alter, Michael leaves her for his seat. The music stops.

A_CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Nods and pays attention to the ceremony, still not really knowing anyone on the crew.::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::holds out his hand to the bride::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::takes Ashley's bouquet as the ceremony begins::

Host Lancelot says:
::Lancelot moves up toward the couple and smiles widely:: All: Welcome one and all.

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She hands over her bouquet and places her hands in Mikal's, her eyes staring into his::

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
::stares at Lancelot, wondering if she should take any security measures::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::gives her hands a firm squeeze then smiles warmly::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::wipes the tears away::

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: watches almost tearfully as the wedding continues::

Host Lancelot says:
All: Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to join Ashley Lynn Yates and Mikal Luchena in holy matrimony. These two individuals have been through a great deal, and today, their two lives will become one.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::sweats a little::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::as she watches the memory of her own wedding comes back to her ... fights back tears::

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::wishes they'd hurry it up so he can get good and drunk::

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She takes another deep breath as a huge smile crosses her face. She can feel several tears form, so she tries to blink them away::

A_CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Listens to the person at the front.::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::feels himself steadying as he looks at Ashley::

Host Lancelot says:
All: It has been decided that the Bride and Groom will speak to each other from their hearts, and give their own vows of love to one another. ::He smiles:: CIV: Mikal Luchena, would you like to begin?

Host CIV_Luchena says:
ACO:  My light in the darkness, heart of my heart.  I give you myself, body and soul and promise to protect and cherish you all the days of our lives.

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::rolls his eyes::

Ebony says:
::Watches the CEO::

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She looks into Mikal's eyes, uncertain as to what he'll say. As he speaks, she cannot help but feel her legs melt from underneath her. Words really do not need to be spoken, his emotions say it all::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::has the odd sensation he's being watched - but of course he is being watched::

A_CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Has a smile on his face as he proceedings continue.::

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
::smiles::

Host Lancelot says:
A_CO: Ashley. ::He motions to her::

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: My dearest, Mikal. I have to admit that after I left the Pendragon, I would have never imagined that I would be standing here with you at this very moment. ::She looks into his eyes, a tear beginning to form::

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
::whispers :: A_CTO: You know if you didn't have this attitude you would realize that this is a joyous occasion.

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::smiles encouragingly::

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: At the same time, I've never felt so right standing next to a person in my life. I want to share my hopes, dreams, and aspirations with you. I want you to share with me what your heart desires. ::She smiles widely::

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: In sickness, in health, for richer or for poorer, and even when we disagree, I promise to love, honor, and cherish every moment we have together. ::She pauses, not really sure what else to say:: I am honestly at a loss for words. Just know that I love you.

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::whispers back:: AFCO:  I think the Captain is nuts.  Do you know anything at all about that guy?

Host Lancelot says:
::He turns toward the Groom:: CIV: Do you have the ring?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::begins to think that she shouldn't be here at all as there are to many emotions going on through the room::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::gets the ring ready::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::turns to the CEO::

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
A_CTO: No but since the Captain is marring him I believe she does.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::hands the ring to Mikal::

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::frowns and continues watching::

Host Lancelot says:
All: Take Ashley's left hand, and repeat after me. With this Ring, I thee wed.

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::takes the ring::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::takes the CO's hand::  CO:  What he said.  ::smiles::

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She cannot help but giggle at the comment. Tears are now flowing down her cheeks. She looks toward Jordan for the ring::

Host Lancelot says:
A_CO: And the same goes for you. ::He smiles::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::hands the ring to Ashley::

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She takes the ring and slides it on Mikal's finger:: CIV: And the same goes to you as well.

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::laughs::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::amused, but refrains from laughing, hides his grin::

Host Lancelot says:
All: With the power granted to me by the United Federation of Planets. I now pronounce you husband and wife. ::He pauses:: CIV: Go on and kiss her already.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::even in her misery she can't help but smile::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::leans forward, closes his eyes and kisses the CO lightly on the lips::

Host A_CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She returns the light kiss::

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::wonders if the drinking is about to commence::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::takes her hand::  CO:  Ready?

Host Lancelot says:
All: Ladies and gentlemen. I now present you Mister and Mrs. Mikal Luchena.

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::applauds politely and notices his grumpiness is less intense::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
::throws rice in the air::

A_CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Nods and applauds with the others.::  AFCO:  Yes it has been.  I've never been here to Betazed.  But I do have great company.

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
A_CMO: Why thank you :: smiles at the A-CMO::

TIME WARP: Fifteen minutes have pass and the guests find themselves in an outdoor tent where party festivities are scheduled to begin. The Bride and Groom are no where to be seen. However, refreshments are being served and light calypso music is playing.

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:

Ebony says:
CEO:  You were wonderful ... ::lightly kisses his cheek::

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
OPS: That's up to you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:
Ebony: It was nothing. My cat had just as much to do with it.

Host A_CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::She looks toward Mikal as they make their way toward the entrance of the tent:: CIV: You know, I couldn't have asked for anything better. ::She smiles widely and gives him a passionate kiss::

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::feelings much better, except for the too hot part::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damien says:

OPS: Nope.  This is my first.

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
OPS: And you?

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
A_CO: Captain you are going to have to pardon Lt Ki here he has been in a bad mood all day.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
aCTO: Mine too. Well, at least I know I'm not the only one. ::She shrugs her shoulders:: aCTO: I don't really get out much...

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
aCTO: I need to graduate from the Academy. Being a Provisional Ensign isn't really what I want to be my entire life..

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
A_CO: Captain I will look after him and if I have to I will have security hold him for the night.

Host CIV_Luchena says:
ACO:  It's something personal between him and I.  I don't know what but I'll sort it out later.

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
A_CTO: Uh, are you sure you want to do that?

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
aCTO:  It's too  hot.  ::walks into the water::

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
A_CO: That is true Captain but he has had a lot to drink so maybe I better keep an eye on him so that he stays out of trouble.

::Walks up to the Captain and her husband and Ensign Shelaya.::  ACO:  Hello Captain.  CIV:  Sir.  ::Nods to them both.::  A spectacular ceremony I must say.

Host CIV_Luchena says:
::smiles and nods although is inwardly distracted::

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
:: walks out of the Tent and looks for the A_CTO::

Host A_CO_Capt_Luchena says:
~~~CIV: You know that you can't hide your emotions from me. You're distracted...~~~

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::waist deep in the ocean::

aCTO_Lt_Tribble says:
OPS: I understand.   You have a promising career ahead of you.

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
aCTO: Umm... is he.. naked?

A_CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
ACO, CIV:  I've never been to Betazed.  And we are out here to explore strange new worlds.  It has been a good time.  Anyways.. I'm certain you two are making your rounds.  Good luck!

A_CMO_LtJG_Bannister says:
::Heads over to the bar to get another glass of champagne.::

OPS_Ens_Grant says:
aCTO: Umm.. ok. ::She cannot help but stare at the man::

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::starts walking back towards the shore::  A_FCO:  It's a party, isn't it?

Host CIV_Luchena says:
~~~::listens::~~~

A_FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
A_CTO: yes it is but that is no reason to endanger you life.

Host A_CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::She opens her arms and gives Jordan a hug:: Jordan: I'm so sorry Jordan. ::more tears begin to form:: Jordan: I really am...

A_CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::steps onto the beach, buck naked and dripping wet::  A_FCO:  That feels better.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::can't speak ... just cries::

Host A_CO_Capt_Luchena says:
::Ashley tries to send positive images to Jordan. Images of the good times, not the bad::

A_CTO: Well good then do so but I would suggest you stay out of the water till you sober up some. ::  walks back towards the tent::

Host CIV_Luchena says:
