Out in the dining hall, most of the guest and the group are eating. Shen and Liu share a table with their parents as well as Roland and Ny-Lee. The next table over are the rest of the cousins. Rest of the family is spread out throughout the hall.

Breakfast is served in a buffet line as people takes their plates and place food on them. BdrLine goes back to the table with his cousins with eggs, bacon, and an omelette.

BdrLine
"So, who's ready for today?"

The others go about eating, Chang looks up and answers.

Chang
"Who isn't ready, I think this will be the biggest wedding we all have been to. I'm mean look what we are on. Plus when this is over, think of the free time we have to spend on this ship. You know I'll be in the casino or the pool."

Feng
"Oh yeah, pool time with all those dames in swin suits, Huan you with me?"

Huan
"You know me so well"

The two of them high five each other, whirl Mei and Ping just roll their eyes.

Through the doorway, Yiski and Lauren strolls in, but something is different in the air around them. From the table he is at, Roland sees it as well, especially when he spots them holding hands.

Roland
"Dear look, are you seeing what I'm seeing?"

He points over to Yiski and Lauren as thet go to the table that Zill and Jun'ko are sitting. She turns and see them holding hands.

Ny-Lee
"Are they back together?"

Roland
"I don't know? They look really happy right now. I'll ask him when we get ready."

Liu overhears them and looks at her watch.

"Speaking of getting ready, look at the time, come everyone, time to get dressed."

At their table, BdrLine and the others over hears his mother and looks at their watches as well.

BdrLine
"Oh yeah, come on Huan, don't want to be late for this one."

Huan
"I'm coming"

The rest of the others goes on to finish their food before heading back to their rooms to get dressed. Ny-Lee is taken by her mother and rest of the females in their family to help her get dressed, while Roland goes over to Yiski and Zill so that they get dressed as well.

Roland, Yiski, Zill, and the other men were in the changing rooms getting ready. Yiski and Zill noticed Roland getting a little jittery.

Zill
"Not getting cold feet are you Roland?"

Roland
"What! No... it... this... I still cannot believe this is happening."

Yiski
"I'm kinda with you on this one. Who knew you'd fall in love with BdrLine's lil' sister?"

Roland
"Speaking of things we cannot believe happening.... you and Lauren?"

Zill
"Flak. Don't tell me you two are?..."

Yiski
"We are. I'm tired of lettin' my past messin' with me."

Zill
"Can't say it's a good idea."

Roland
"Well if Yiski's happy, then who are we to object?"

Zill
"As long as their happiness doesn't invite people to kill us."

Yiski rolled his eyes. Zill and Roland chuckled.

Another hour passes and soon all those attending the wedding are situated in the chapel aboard the ship. Already positioned are Zill, Yiski, and Bdrline as the groomsmen and Jun'ko, Lauren, and Ming (Ny-Lee's cousin) as bridesmaids.

Aside from the group, most of the chapel is filled with Ny-Lee's family and noblemen from Yesha. Roland sits at the alter when "Here Comes the Bride" starts playing.

As the song plays, the back door to the chapel opens and everyone stands and turns towards the open door. Under the archway Shen and wrapped around his arm is his daughter. She is wearing the gown that she had bought back in Anvala, has a veil covering her face, and holding a bouquet of white roses. In front of the pair is Huan, who is holding the rings that Roland made. The three then start to walk down the aisle, with Huan in front being followed by the bride and father.

Once at the alter, Huan goes off to the side and takes his seat, while still holding the rings. Shen and Ny-Lee then comes next where Shen hugs his daughter before hand her hand over to Roland who takes it.

Holding both of her hands in his, Roland stares at his soon-to-be-wife.

Roland
"Wow, I mean... wow"

Ny-Lee giggles at him and places a finger to quite him.

Ny-Lee
"I know, but let go through this first."

"Eh hem."

The couple turn to see who made the cough. In front of them is the priest, who looks like he is ready to continue.

Priest
If everyone can take their seats, we may begin. Friends, Family, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. They have been brought together by one of the gifts that have been granted to man, love. And the love that these two share is that one of the purest. If any man can show just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace."

Silence.

The priest then turns to Roland.

Roland, will you take this woman to be your wedded wife, to live together in holy matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as you both shall live?

Roland
"I do."

Then he turns to Ny-Lee.

"Ny-Lee, will you take this man to be your wedded husband, to live together in holy matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him, so long as you both shall live?

Ny-Lee
"I do."

Priest
"Roland, repeat after me. I, Roland, take Ny-Lee to my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part; and thereto I plight thee my troth."

Roland repeats what the priest says.

Then he turns to Ny-Lee again.

Priest
"Ny-Lee, repeat after me. I, Ny-Lee, take Roland to my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part; and thereto I give thee my troth."

This time, Ny-Lee repeats after him.

Priest
"Now, who has the rings."

Huan
"I have the rings."

Huan rises and moves towards the priest and presents the wedding bands. Roland then takes Ny-Lee ring and places it on her left ring finger. Ny-Lee does the same. The priest then takes both of their hands and join them together, he looks over the crowd.

Priest
"As Roland and Ny-Lee have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed by this company, and thereto have given and pledged their troth, each to the other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a ring, and by joining hands; I pronounce that they are man and wife. You may know kiss the bride."

The priest then let go of their hands, which Roland goes and unveil Ny-Lee and goes in for a passionate kiss. The entire room stands and give their applause as the newly couple goes down the aisle to the doorway. Everyone move from there seats and Liu speaks over everyone.

Liu
"If i can have your attention, the reception will be held in the main dance hall. The is where we will have dinner and the cutting of the cake."

Everyone then heads to the designated room. Once everyone has entered, all the single women crowd around as Ny-Lee goes to the middle of the room and toss her bouquet behind her. Screams can be heard as the many ladies jumped to grab the flowers, in the end, somehow Feng got tossed in the middle of the group and the women disperse and sees him with the flowers. He goes red form embarrassment as a few people sinkers, until a few of the ladies jump him for the flowers, which cause more laughter.

The wedding cake is then brought out. The cake is 5-tiered and was baked on the ships bakery. On top are miniature figures of a bride and groom. Roland and Ny-Lee goes over and are handed a knife, where they take the first slice. Roland then takes a fork and gives Ny-Lee the first bite, where she happily takes.

Soon everyone takes their seats, with the newly wed couple seated at the center, food is brought out and the cake sliced. The night goes on as a live band comes out and plays, and people dance, eat, and all around have a good time.

At the reception, Roland and Ny-Lee took the ceremonial first dance. The music was played by an orchestral hired by the cruise ship at Shen's request. The song itself was a fusion of Yeshan and Baronies influences.

Yiski, Lauren, Zill, and Jun'ko were sitting at a table watching the newlyweds have their dance. All were drinking Yeshan sake. Jun'ko looks at Yiski and Lauren and smiles at the signs of their rekindled relationship. Lauren and Yiski were sitting closely next to each other and holding hands on top of the table. Jun'ko giggles.

Jun'ko
"You two make for a cute couple."

Lauren
"Thank you. I know today is for them, but I can't help feeling so happy for myself."

Jun'ko
"I told you he just needed time."

Zill
"And maybe he needs a few smacks to the head to remind him how much of a bad idea this is."

Yiski and Lauren roll their eyes while Jun'ko gives a 'playful' elbow to Zill's ribs causing him to give a little 'oomph'. Eventually, the first song ended and all other couples, married or not, come to the floor and start dancing along with the newlyweds.

Zill
"You know what they're doing for their honeymoon?"

Yiski
"Headin' down to Cathedral for two weeks. Supposedly a festival bein' held there too."

The four watch the newlyweds for another song and laugh in their own fashion. Ny-Lee had her head buried into Roland's shoulder while Roland was talking or singing to her, but the four couldn't tell. Yiski and Zill glance at one another and nod causing their respective partner to look at one another in confusion. Simultaneously, Zill and Yiski rise from their seats and present their hand to their ladies.

Yiski & Zill
"Can you spare a dance?"

The girls chuckled and took their hands without hesitation. The girls look at each other and to their partners.

Lauren
"You sure you want to dance? I've heard you two aren't the best."

Yiski & Zill
"What's the worst that... could..."

Immediately the two men grimaced and faceplamed themselves. One saying it was bad enough. They now wondered what two could do.

From his table, BdrLine watches as Zill, Yiski, and their respective partners hit the dance floor.

BdrLine's Thoughts
"hmm this is going to be interesting."

And true to form, the two males 'danced' the night away. Safe to be sure, their bills maybe a little high. Dancing with their partners were fine enough, no broken toes or anything, can't say for the others around them.

"Ouch"
"Hey"
"Watch it there buddy."

Zill & Yiski
"Pardon"
"My bad"
"Sorry"

BdrLine just watches on and couldn't contain his laughter.

BdrLine
*laughter* "Gods they are so bad"

Feng
"Who you laughing at cous?"

Wipes a tear from his eyes.
BdrLine
"Sory just at a few friends and their dancing."

He points towards their general direction and soon Feng finds it amusing as well.

While still on the dance floor, Zill didn't notice a waiter behind him as he accidentally knock him and a tray of champagne over. Resulting in a huge crash. The rest of the ballroom turns to the spectacle and notices the mess.

Zill
"Sorry about that. Here."

Zill extends a hand to help the waiter up, not knowing that the champagne made the floor slippery. Once the man grabs to get up, he slips back down bringing Zill with him as well. This causes them to be knocked into Yiski and company. Soon a small section of the dance floor has people on their backside. Silence was heard around the room as everyone have their eyes at the group.

They at the head of the table Ny-Lee couldn't take it anymore and starts to clap and release her laughter. Everyone joins in as well as it was only an accident and they still have a reception to enjoy.

Sill laughing
BdrLine
"Oh what a sight."

a whistle echoes from the street, a happy tune not notably affiliated with any of the known states of the Waste. The door opens, and a whistling man in his mid-twenties enters and takes his cap off. He is brandishing a couple of small wrenches and a push-measure on his belt, but more notable is the commanding presence of a pistol on his right hip. Grin-wrinkled green eyes observe the various crowd with interest before continuing towards the barkeep.
"Morjesta, good sir! Might I get something to drive away the dust that has clogged up my throat? We met some rather heavy sandstorms on our way here and I'd be more than delighted to feel moist again."

--NARRATOR--

--Tengshe--

Hours pass by and the reception was coming to an end. Many of the Yeshan officials had departed on civilian and military ships which had come and gone throughout the entire time. At this point in time, there were mostly guest, the group, and Ny-Lee's family. Yiski, Zill, Shen, BdrLine, and Roland were sitting at one table, while Ny-Lee, Jun'ko, Mei, and Liu were at another.

-Men's Table-

Yiski
"So are you two goin' to head for Cathedral immediately?"

Roland
"Yes, I believe our transport will be arriving shortly."

Yiski
"Need an escort?"

Shen
"No need. I've hired a Yeshan contractor to ensure their safe arrival and return."

Yiski
"Kinda feel guilty that I didn't contribute to any of this."

Shen
"No, no. You and your friends have done more for me and the Empire. This is nothing. Also, this was also for my little Ny."

Zill
"Either way. This was still very impressive to pull off."

-Women's Table-

Liu
"Ny, I believe you're transport is arriving shortly."

Mei
"I still can't believe you got to marry such a handsome man. He doesn't have brothers does he?"

Ny-Lee
"Only child I'm afraid and before you ask, no, I'm not sharing him."

Mei
*sticking her tongue at Ny-Lee* "Meanie."

Lauren
"Well Ny, I wish the two of you the best. Word of caution though, avoid the Arashi district of Cathedral. If you're not careful there, you're bound to lose a few things. Roland included."

Ny-Lee
"Hehe. Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.

Soon enough the newlywed's transport ship arrives along with two pyramidions and two junkers. The group watches as Roland and Ny-Lee board the transport. When the two are out of sight, Yiski gives a quiet whistle at the escorts.

Shen
"You don't think this is too much?"

Yiski
"Honestly. I'd probably would have thrown in a galleon or two."

Shen and Yiski share a laugh. The night had been grown longer and the group and family were getting tired. Eventually, everyone went back to their respective rooms. After seeing the wedding, Jun'ko was feeling particularly energetic still leaving Zill to wonder how much 'sleeping' was actually going to happen. Lauren and Yiski were still trying to figure out how to tread with their reformed status, but they knew at least where to start: In bed with no clothes and 'sleeping'.

Back at the saloon, Coldcurse and company called it a day. While Coldcurse was still wondering where Yiski and the group had gone, he figured they'd all be back soon enough and tell the tale of their adventure.

Unfortunately for them, the group's departure couldn't have come at the worse time and their return, not soon enough.

--START OF DAY 100--

--START OF MINI-QUEST: THE PAST IS NEVER DEAD--

--NARRATOR--

It was the day after the wedding. Roland and Ny-Lee were already on their way to Cathedral for their honeymoon. Most of the morning was spent getting the group ready to depart for Anvala. While Yiski, Lauren, and Zill took cared of the preparations, BdrLine took the opportunity to talk to his parents and family more. After all, it seemed like months ago when BdrLine's family realized he was still alive. The others in the group decided to enjoy as much of the Tengshe before leaving.

Another hour passed and preparations were complete and the group went to their respective ships minus two. Even though the M'Naghten Returns had it's additional crew, Yiski sighed knowing it would feel empty without those two.

As Then It Was Fixed Again and M'Naghten Returns started for Anvala, there was radio static coming through. Not on the Anvalan frequency, but Yiski's restricted frequency. Realizing the difference, Lauren called up Yiski to the helm.

Yiski
"What? Gettin' lonely?"

Lauren
"Yes, but this other radio is just static."

Lauren could see Yiski's eyes get large as he leaned down and pressed his ear against the radio. Yiski listened and noticed there was a pattern to the radio static... Morse Code. Lauren couldn't hear the code come through, but knew it had to be dire if it got this kind of reaction from Yiski.

Lauren
"Yisk...."

Yiski
"Shh..... By the skies! EVERYONE GET TO MAXIMUM ENGINE OUTPUT POSITIONS! WE GOTTA HAUL ASS BACK TO ANVALA!"

Lauren was shocked by the sudden declaration, but the crew scrambled and got into positions. Lauren would have been still shocked if not for the sudden burst of speed coming from the ship. Before Lauren could ask what the emergency was, Zill noticed the M'Naghten Returns gaining distance from him and radioed.

Zill
"Lauren? Yiski? The flak is going on?"

Yiski
"Match your speed with ours! We gotta get back!"

Zill could hear the urgency in Yiski's voice, while Lauren got that and saw him breathing heavily.

Lauren & Zill
"What's going on?"

Yiski turned to face Lauren and he had a look of dread on his face, he then faced toward the direction of Anvala and spoke.

Yiski
"Lance's code translates and I quote, "Guild hired mercenary fleet and troops. Destination... Anvala."

A lone plane that was flying around Then It Was Fixed Again had been seen for awhile now. Its markings on the wings was a clear symbol of Skyraider's Flying Panthers. The radio buzzes and Sky speaks.

Sky

"Well someone is in a rush. What troubles you now? Or are you just eager to get back to Anavla? I heard panic over the radio, but it was all muffled and hard to hear."

Sky's plane flies level to Then It Was Fixed Again and he shakes the plane's wings to get Zill's attention.

Lockheart had awoken early, after getting off the Commodore Beckett he took to gathering information on the whereabouts of the location of Yiski, Zill and the others, Most of the Dockworkers seemed to give the same information. That they set of aboard their ships, In no apparent cause of distress, and they would be returning soon.

Lockheart Gathered the remaining few in Anvala to tell them what happened.

Lockheart
" my friends, I do believe I know where our saloon owner went!"

Coldcurse
"And what be it?"

*Coldcurse drinks a bottle of ale*

Lockheart
" The first matter if concern, is that they did not die, nor leave due to anything of that sort"

*Lockheart explained the rest of what he had picked up from the Dockworkers*
