The Fenton-Matrix Wedding: Earth Edition

[ami_imperfect]

The Earth wedding is held on a small stretch of beach in Chile, the same stretch of beach where ten years ago a sprite and a half-a shared their first kiss. The set-up is semi-formal, but not too casual. Even the ropes cordoning off the area blend in with the decorations, done up in mint green and lavender.

(There may or may not be bazookas hidden in the flower arrangements, in case of potential human or ghostly interference.)

After the ceremony comes the reception, with dancing, a luncheon featuring steak tenderloin, a crab boil, and summer squash lasagna, and swimming.

"Does the dog puke an awful lot?"

"He used to, but if I kept him on a strict diet, that evened out," Autor says, adjusting his glasses. "When other people, like Jim, fed him, he'd throw it all up."

"Why did Jim feed him then?" Bonnie asks.

Re: Gift Table

[herr_bookman]

"To make him throw up," Autor says, wrinkling his nose. "Jim is a jerk."

Re: Gift Table

Bonnie looks appalled.

"He'd make a dog sick on purpose?"

Re: Gift Table

[herr_bookman]

"I wouldn't be surprised if he kills people," Autor says, scoffing.

"Why does Wilford let him come in?" Bonnie asks.

Re: Gift Table

[herr_bookman]

"They're friends, in the strangest way," Autor says, shaking his head s head. "They understand each other."

Re: Gift Table

"He don't mind that Jim hurts his dog?"

Re: Gift Table

[herr_bookman]

"Of course he does, but he can't really do anything about it except shoot him," Autor says, frowning. "This isn't a good topic for a wedding."

"True, sorry. They're a beautiful couple." Bonnie says, turning to look back at the bride and groom.

Re: Gift Table

[herr_bookman]

"They are, and that's a beautiful gift you've made them. How long did it take?" Autor says, gesturing to the patchwork quilt.

Re: Gift Table

"Didn't count the hours, but I worked on it fer a month or so." Bonnie says. "The patches are big and I got a sewing machine so it didn't take as long as it could have."

Re: Gift Table

[herr_bookman]

"I've never used a sewing machine. Is it difficult?" Autor says, tilting his head.

Re: Gift Table

[is_the_motion]

"It is fiddly." Bonnie says. "But fast, if yer goin' in straight lines."

Re: Gift Table

[herr_bookman]

"Hmm. Maybe I should try one sometime," Autor says, glancing at the quilt. "In any event, I hope you have a wonderful time at the wedding."

Re: Gift Table

[is_the_motion]

"I'd be happy ter teach you." Bonnie smiles. "You might need to sew all sorts one day."

Re: Gift Table

[herr_bookman]

"Maybe I will," Autor says, nodding thoughtfully. "I'll take you up on that. Thanks, Bonnie."
