Date Posted: 5/13/06 8:21am Subject: RE: X-wing: Rules For Engagement - Hobbie,Janson,Inyri,Amelie - May 13
Chapter One, Part One

“He’s going to do something, isn’t he?” Hobbie Klivian cast a forlorn look to where his best friend was studying the reception hall. “He’s got that look in his eye. He’s planning something awful.”

“If he is, he hasn’t shared it with me,” Inyri Forge replied as she set down the large basket of flowers in her arms.

“What, exactly, are you worried about?” Amelie asked, looking from Hobbie, to Inyri, and back at Janson. He’d tried to warn her that his best friend was going to do something to ruin the wedding. At the time, she’d laughed it off. Now, it appeared, she wasn’t so sure everything would go smoothly.

“Well, there was that incident at Gavin’s wedding…” Inyri started.

“And then at Tycho’s,” Hobbie added. “Although he managed to get through most of Wedge’s while acting like a little angel.”

“Or as angelic as he ever gets,” Inyri finished. “Don’t forget that speech.”

“That speech was nothing. You managed to get him to behave somehow, Inyri. You can work your magic again.” He turned to her with a pleading look. “Gavin, Tycho, Wedge: they’re all small fish compared to me. He’s been planning this moment since he met me. This is going to be a disaster.”

Inyri shook her head. “I don’t think there’s anything I can do to help you, Hobbie. I mean, I can try, but you know how hard it is to control Wes.”

“Why don’t you ask him to not pull anything crazy out of respect for the two of us?” Amelie asked.

Inyri and Hobbie just stared at her.

“Alright, I know. Stupid question.” She turned to Inyri. “What’s it going to cost to keep him under control.”

“Since when did I become the Wes-wrangler? Isn’t that Hobbie’s job?” She crossed her arms across her chest. “Besides, embarrassing Wedge is one thing. Hobbie is something completely different. There’s not enough power in the universe to stop a disaster from happening. What I can do is keep an eye on him and let you know if I learn what he’s planning. It may not prevent it, but we can at least minimize it.”

“Of course, whatever happens, we can’t let Wes know we have this little conspiracy,” Hobbie added. “That will only make him come up with a new plan that’s even worse than the one he’s working on now.”

“My wedding is going to be a disaster, isn’t it?” Amelie groaned.

Inyri nodded as they watched Janson continue to survey the room. “You have no idea.”

“Hobbs, we going to set up tables or are you going to stand there and talk with the girls all day?” Wes called from the far end of the reception hall.

“We still have to wait for Wedge and Tycho,” he called back.

“Why don’t you two get started,” Inyri suggested, giving Hobbie a shove towards Wes. “We’ll start bringing in the stuff in the speeder.”

“We should have hired people to do all this,” Hobbie remarked, studying the large piles of folded tables and stacks of chairs along the right wall. “Why did I think this would save us money again?”

“Because the reception hall wanted to charge you what you make in a year to set up?” Inyri suggested.

“Because the florist gave us the flowers for the centerpieces at a discount if we picked them up ourselves?” Amelie added.

“Because Iella knew where we could get decorations for next to nothing if we didn’t mind putting them up ourselves?” Inyri continued.

“Because if we have a cheap wedding, we can have an expensive honeymoon?”

Hobbie pointed at his fiancée. “Okay, that one I like.”

“Go help Wes set up tables, Derek.” It was Amelie’s turn to give him a little shove. “Inyri and I will get to work on the girl stuff.”

Hobbie grabbed her arm, pulling her close for a quick kiss before turning back to where Wes was waiting beside the pile of tables. “We made the guest list too long. More tables this way.”

Janson grinned. He probably had some sort of table-set-up game already in his mind that would only make the whole process take longer. “See this as your workout for the day. Do we have a picture that we’re working off of or are we just making this up as we go along?”

“If we had a picture, the girls would have us change it five times either way.” Amelie had changed her mind on the invitations a total of seven times, the cake twice, and he didn’t even want to know about the dress.

“Okay, so setting up tables blind.” Janson nodded. “Reminds me of a lot of missions that we get sent on compliments of NRI.”

Hobbie frowned. “Speaking of NRI…” He glanced back at Inyri. “There have been some questions asked about your recent…deployment.” More like demands, actually. Inyri had bothered Shalla and gotten no where, then come to him for information. At one point, she’d even threatened to call General Cracken himself. Part of him wished she’d gone through with it just to see the look on Cracken’s face…

His friend didn’t seem phased by the statement. “I just want to wait until things die down. This is your and Amelie’s time.” Wes inclined his head to the left and together they carried the table towards the far wall. “Besides, I want to make sure this isn’t crazy.”

“You talked with her parents, Wes. You arranged this huge, elaborate plan so you could go out there and ask her father’s permission. Now you’re getting cold feet? Okay, set it down.” Hobbie put his end of the table on the floor and turned back to the stack. One down, only about a million to go.

“I just…if you ask people who know me, how many do you think would say I’m the type to settle down?” Janson joined him in front of the nearest stack of tables.

“Isn’t this conversation reversed? I’m the one getting married. I’m the one who is supposed to be going crazy right about now, while you’re supposed to be telling me that this will be the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” Hobbie waited for Wes to grab the other end of the table and lifted his own. “And yet, I’m calm, composed, and cannot wait to get married two days from now, while you’re ready to run away because you want to propose to your girlfriend?”

“Not so loud.” Wes gave him a death look. “It’s just starting to become real and it’s a little terrifying. I mean, think about it this way, I’m never going to sleep with another woman. Ever.” Only Wes Janson would cite that as his biggest concern about marriage.

Hobbie gave him a devious grin. “See, this isn’t something that worries me. Once you find perfection…”

“Yeah, yeah. Wedge is here.” Wes suddenly set down his end of the table, his attention drawn to the main doors.

“What is it?” Hobbie turned to look. Wedge was standing inside the hall with Tycho and another man, the latter of whom seemed to be… “Is that a police officer?” Why was a police officer in his reception hall?

“Unless Iella or Inyri hired a male stripper, then yeah.” Wes frowned. “You do have this place paid for, don’t you?”

“Yes.” Hobbie scowled. “And don’t worry, the speeder’s not parked in a red zone. I’ll go see what they want.” He brushed his hands on his pants as he started across the room. He really didn’t have time to deal with this. There were still easily a thousand things he needed to do today…half way to the door, he suddenly stopped. The officer was escorting Inyri from the room? “Wes?”

“What the…” Janson was already striding past him. “Hey! What the hell is going on here?”

Inyri visibly winced and said something to the officer. She took a step forward to meet Janson, catching his arm and pulling him aside. “Wes, this really doesn’t concern you.”

“You’re leaving with a Coruscant policeman. Somehow, I think this is something I need to know about.” There were very few times Wes Janson got angry. When he was, it was usually a good idea to stay clear. Inyri, unfortunately, didn’t seem to have that option at the moment.

“Wes, just…” She looked miserable, and for a brief moment Hobbie wondered if she actually had done something. He quickly dismissed it. Inyri wasn’t likely to go looking for trouble, especially the type that would involve the Coruscant police.

Janson ignored her and moved between Inyri and the officer. “I asked what was going on.”

The police officer cleared his throat. “Sir, I’m going to have to ask you to get out of the way. I have orders to escort Ms. Forge down to the station, and impeding me will only earn you a seat there, too. Now please, step aside.”

I'll be updating on Sat/Sun and Wed every week. For real this time.

Oh no, Inyri! Just when things are working out...

I really like the Wes/Hobbie relasionship. Those two have been through a lot together, it's only right that Wes expells extra effort to sabatoge Hobbie's wedding. I love the switch that Hobbie is talking to Wes about cold feet instead of the other way around. Poor Hobbie, nothing ever goes right...

Paash Cracken...interesting, scary, but interesting...

Ohhhhh, looking forward to this...

Myra,

*whistles innocently*

Poor Wes ... he's lived with monogamy this long, he should be okay.
You don't need to worry about Wes' feelings towards Inyri. They won't change.

Only two posts a week? I may shrivel and die.
I have the first 3 chapters (12 posts) written, but, because I somtimes get sidetracked, I'm going to try to post consistantly than have long spells of no posts followed by a lot of posts all at once.

Thanks for the review, Myra! I'm glad you're enjoying the story.


Thanks, Lane!

Astro,
Oh no, Inyri! Just when things are working out...
Poor Inyri. Any speculation on why the police want her?

I'm glad you liked how I wrote Wes and Hobbie. I had a lot of fun with them (I wrote this scene long before I finished ToS). As for Hobbie's wedding...*laughs*...Well, Wes does find himself in a sticky situation.

Paash Cracken...interesting, scary, but interesting...
You have no idea...

I'm so happy you liked, Astro! Thank you!

After I go congratulate Jade on graduating, of course. (send her well wishes, everyone, as of tomorrow morning she is offically Master of History! happy ) Guess this means I actually have to WRITE to occupy my time, because I'm not working on my thesis this summer!

No! Don't make Paash all evil and creepy-like. Make him just like Pash, only with two 'a's in his name.

Well, at least my devastation abou his death hasn't even come close to how sad I was when I thought he died in profic. :P

What do you want me to do with Paash? Should he save the day and get the girl?

Well, at least my devastation abou his death hasn't even come close to how sad I was when I thought he died in profic.
Yeah, I flipped out. There was massive cursing involved.

save the day and get the girl WOULD make for a nice change in how clones are usually handled in SW....

I'm trying to write, I promise, but nothing's coming at the moment.

Yes.


tongue

As for Pash in profic, I don't quite remember what I did when I thought he died (major shock, probably), but I danced - literally, I got up and danced around my grandma's condo without music - when I read the beginning of TUF and found out that he lived. I was happy for a very, very long time.
