The sun shines through the open Windows as a Light Breeze blows through it, a Wonderfull moment to Wake Up thought Cait as Steph's arms were wrapping around her from behind. the Movement woke her up and she gave her a Kiss on her Shoulder "good morning Caity" she Turned a bit and kissed her on the Mouth "good Morning Steph" this was the first morning since the Civil War in Rheinland broke out that she was Sleeping on Curacao. the Samson Resort was now Shining again, the Situation on Baden has Calmed down right now but the Danger is still not over. but at the moment there is a Pause in the War or at least in the Region around Baden Baden. so she can now enjoy some days with Stephanie on Curacao.
After the Velvet Suffered Heavy Damage by a Hessian in the Last Evacuation Attempt, she had to Bring the Ship to the Alster Shipyard. ther she decided that the Crew needed some Long Overdue Rest, so she ordered Some Holliday on Curacao. after a Quick Shower, the two Took a Boat and Saild to a Beach nearby. ther they Laid down on the sand and Relaxed. Stephanie Gave Cait a Treatment wit sun blocker, as her natural Red Hair and Pale Skin made her weak to sunburns. after she was Save Caitlyn returned the Favor and Rubbed Steph with the sun blocker. it was a Calm and Sunny day the Temperatur was about 30 Degree Celsius, an all in all Perfect day. Stephanie had taken some Fishing rods with them and tried to catch there Evening Mealbut no fish had taken her bait.
"ahh man I wanted to Catch our Meal this evening," Said a sad Stephanie Cait laid an arm around her shoulder as the two walked back to the Sailing Ship "well are you sure with that, you would have to kill that Fish so we could have eaten it" Steph looked at her with Stormy Eyes "do you think I could not do that" Cait looked in that stormy eyes and Smiled "of course you could kill a fish. but you would have Mercy with the Creature I know you" the storm in Stephs Eyes calmed down as she looked at Caits Grin "you are right I just wanted to Impress you with a self Caught Meal this evening" Caits Smile got even bigger "well we can Catch our Evening meal our Self we just have to hunt the Mighty Fridge" Steph looks at Cait with a Diabolical Grin "oh You try to make some fun of me hmm that means Payback you know" she said as she started to Tickle Cait. "o.....oo....oooh mercy oh almighty Stephanie I w....w...will never doubt on your skills to catch some Foo.......Food" after her thirst for revenge was Satisfied she stopped Caits Torture, the two Boarded the Ship. and set sail back to the Samson Resort as the Sunset Paints the sky in an Orange and Red Light as the ship sails slowly towards the Resort and she Kissed Stephanie.
1 Hour Later
In the Entrance hall waited for a Surprise for the two. an Unfamiliar Woman in OS&C Gala Uniform stands there and looked around, she came straight to her as she saw Cait. "Subriector Cross my name is Natalia Merow I am your new Weapons Officer nice to meet you" Cait raised an Eyebrow "well then someone must have made a Joke with you I Chose my officers, and I didn't choose you" Stephanie switched from Caits Lover to her First Officer in a Second. "well Capitan if this Lady Claims to be our new Weapons Officer then she will have something to prove it" Cait looked at ther as she shows her Work face, but she could notice the warm glance in her eyes. "well do you have such orders to prove your Claim" Natalia Noded "yes Subdirector I have them right here" she handed Caitlyn a Tablet with the Orders.

Cait stared at the Letter and then at the Yung woman before her, after that she handed the Tablet over to Steph. "so Miss Merow come with me so we can sort out this damn mess" Cait took her to the Bar and made 2 Drinks a Rum for her and a Rheinbeer for Steph. "what do you drink miss Merow" the Yung woman was a bit uncomfortable she was as surprised as Cait. she thought she knew that she would meet here. "ahm Mam I dont think I should drink now" Cait Raised an Eyebrow. "you refuse a drink from me and stop calling me Mam this is your Application for the Job on the Velvet" the eyes of the woman grew bigger,
"but mam I mean Capitan I was already interviewed for the job." Cait got an evil smile "yea but well you see the Velvet is my Ship she is Private Property so the Company can Intervwie as much as they want I decide who works on my ship, not them." Natalia took a seat and looked at the Bottles behind the bar "in this case I take a Sake but the Bottle on the Right in the lower shelf I think I need the good stuff." A woman that knows what she likes Cait respects that. " ok so why do you want the Job as my Weapons officer, you look Pretty young my last officer was 34 and you look like what 20 at max maybe." Natalia took a sip the sake was good just like she expected it. "well I am 23 Capitan and I wanted the Job because the Offer on the Job Board sounded good, the Velvet is known for her Unusual tours and I could use a little excitement. and the opportunity to see the wonders of the Sector is simply irresistible."
Cait took a sip of the Rum and looked to Steph after she nipped from her beer she asked. "you know that Triton is not the standard Cruise Line, we deal sometimes with those that others never want to meet we operate in the Shadows and it can be very dangerous. so we need to be sure that you keep your Cool under Pressure" Natalia looked from Cait to Stephanie and back. "you mean the fact that I ended my Military Career before it started right. well, I can Guaranty you that I keep cool under Pressure but I just realized during the Training that the Military wasn't the right for me. a Friend brought me to OS&C and this Job suits me much more" Steph looked to Cait and nodded sightly. "ok you get a chance but you are on Trail for a while" said Cait Natalia looked at the two
"ok that sounds acceptable so I can prove you my Skills" Cait was satisfied with that agreement and emptied her Glas and Steph did the same with her Beer. "I think on the Second Floor are some Rooms empty, so get yourself a room. you arrived in the middle of our Vacation so enjoy it as long as you can." Cait and Stephanie walked to her room while Cait sent one of her contacts a mail, she wanted to know who this Guy from the HQ was that sent her someone without her asking for it. "com on Caity enough work for today" Steph wrapped her arms around her and kissed her shoulder from behind. Cait turned the Device off and Enjoyed the night together with Stephanie under the Stars of Curacao.
it was some time since the two had an Entire weekend together and Caitlyn and Stephanie decided to have it on Honshu. the two wanted to be away from all they know and so Cait got a Camping Permit for the National Forest. Cait had Prepared Everything, the two wandered through the Butyfull Landscape and hold each other hand. Cait wore some sand-colored Khaki Shorts and a Green Tanktop and Steph had a Green Military Pants and a Black T-Shirt, the two wandered through the Butyfull Nature and Cait Felt the little box in her Pocket pressing against her Leg with every Step, reminding her on the Most Important thing in her Life she will doing on this Tripp.
as the Shadows Grew Longer Cait Leaded her Love towards a Camp Ground, everything was ready for them Cait had made all the Preparations in Secret. "shouldn't we go back it's getting dark and we have no Tent," asked Steph and Cait Smiled Devilish. "oh but you should take one with you I told you", Steph was shocked and looked at her Loved one with big eyes and Cait tried so hard not to Lough. "you never told me to pack a Tent, you just wanted it and have forgotten it right." Cait could see the lights of the already Prepared Camp trough the Trees so she Blinded her with her hands and whispered in her ear "let me Suprise you," then she lead her trough the Trees. ther wher Solar Lights in the branches and a fire in the Pit, a Big Comfy tent was ther with some Pilows and Blankets perfect for a Couple in this Mild night. a Crate with some Food and Drinks were also there and as she Removed her Hands and Steps Jaw dropped.
"you have made all of this, and made me believe we had to sleep on the Ground?" Steph poked Cait Lovingly and then Kissed her. "well I wanted to Suprise you, we have to this and Tomorrow night. a team will make sure that there are no Traces that we were ever here so all we have to do is to relax." the two grilled some Meat over the Campfire and drank some of there favorites, they had a great night and then as the hours went by Steph Sleep on Caits shoulder. the day was long and so Cait took her Loved one and Brought her to the Tent, where they Layed her down and the two Sleept cuddled together in the Arms of the Other.
on the next day after they took a Shower from the Camping Bag, the two explored the wilds again the Litle Box reminded Cait again on her Important Quest today and she Knew exactly the Right spot for it. the two wandered for a while and Cait leaded Steph to a Hut in the Forest, the two reached it at the Middle of the Day. there the two were Greeted by one of Honsuhs Best Cooks a Woman named Hanami Tamuzaki, who made a wonderful meal for them. the two hugged her and Continued there Path after it, as Cait saw the Place where she would ask the most important Question of her Entire Life.
it was a Red Wooden Bridge Spanning over a Canyon with a River under it. Steph was Fascinated by the Wooden Construction, and that gave Cait some extra time to Gather her Curage. her hands where Sweaty and her Troat felt like it was Closed, but she had to make this. right now Steph was in the middle of the Bridge, and Cait Kneeled down. "Ste...Steph", she Gulped and Steph turned around seeing Cait Kneeling before her. "Stephanie Fleischhauer you are the Love of my Life and I never want to be another day without you, you make me want to be a Better Woman, and a Better Person. so would you make a Star Child Like me to the Happiest woman on this and Every other Planet and Marry me." Stephanie had Tears in her eyes and her hand on her Mout, seeing the Woman she Loved Kneeling before her was like a Miracle to her. she needed some Minutes before she could speak.
"i.....i I want to be your Wife," Stephanie said and the Tears of Joy rolled down her face as Cait Putted the ring on her Finger. it was a ring with two Stones representing both of them, a Red Ruby for Cait and a Green Smaragd for Stephanie, both Stones were in Heart Shape and were in a Form of Silver. the ring itself was formed of by Redgold and Yelow Gold Strings twisted into each other. and as the Ring was on her finger Stephs Legs gave in, she kneels to Cait on the Floor and Kissed her. "you know what that means right," she asks Cait, who nodded and Kissed her back. "that I will never be without you again." the two walked back to there Camp and Loved each other in the Knowledge that they will be together for the rest of there Live.
After Cait had Finally Asked the Big Question to Steph during their Weekend Holiday on Honshu both of the were soon Captured by the Everyday Life again, and it got even More Stressful and Buissy as Cait Took over Orbital Spa and Cruise after the Previous Chairman had to Step Down. But even when they were Officially Married they acted as if they were and Cait told everyone that Steph was her Wife, and Steph also did the same. But Cait didn't like this Stalemate and had Worked on a Plan to Finally Marry the Love of her Life for good.
Over Months she had Made Secret Preparations and it was a pain in the Butt to Hide all of this from her Smart Fiance, but Cait Somehow Managed to Arrange everything without Steph Finding out what was Realy Going on. She had Imported a Lot of the Blue Jillie Flowers that Stephanie loved so much and the Talented Flower Artist of Orbital had made them into Beautifull Decorations for the Wedding. She had arranged that the Flowers would form an archway and lay on the ground, also the Flowergirls would Throw them while she would walk to the altar.
The Gests were also Informed before that the Wedding would be taking Place today and everyone managed to keep the Secret. Now, all that Cait had to do was to Distract Steph for another Hour while the Staff would Make the Final Preparations at the Beach they would Marry each other. Cait had Chosen the Favorite Beach of the Two where they often enjoy their evenings after Work with a Cold Drink. As the Right Time had Come Cait got a Note onto her Phone and smiled as she was Going onto her Knees in front of Steph and got the Engagement Rings out again. Cait: my Love Steph we are Engaged for so Long now, and you never Complained that I had my Work interrupting our Private Plans. I have Promised you a Beautifull Wedding as I asked you to become my Wife back on Honshu and today I will make this Promise come True. So I ask you my Beautifull Stephanie will you still accept me as your Wife?Steph had held her Hands onto her Muth as some Tears of Joy were Running down her Cheek again while she was getting emotional about this sweet display of Caits love for her. She could only nod and Reach her Hand out for Cait so that she could put the Ring onto her Finger again.
Steph was just happy and would be fine with a Priest that Married her right there on the spot, but Cait had planned something else, and as soon as the Ring was on her Finger Steph's Mother Came and Brought her Daughter away so she could Slip into a Beautifull Made Wedding Dress. Her mom was of course part of the Plan and had talked with Steph during the Last weeks here and there about how she would Imagine her Perfect Wedding Dress. In the end, she made a Beatifull Dress that had Parts of Stephanies Rheinland Origin and the Traditions of Kusari that both Steph and Cait loved a lot. And even Cait who normally wasn't really a Dress Person had a Tailor-Made Wedding Dress for the Big day. Of Course, Caits Dress was much more Simple as she simply wasn't that Fancy type of Bride.
As Cait had no Family other than her Orbital Family left she was led by Stephanies Mother to the Altar while Steph was Lead by her Father. Both of them had a huge smile on their face, but Stephs was a bit more Bright as she saw what Effort her Wife had made to make this Day Special for her. All their Friends and Coworkers Lined the Isle and smiled at them as the Two Brides Walked to the Altair and the Priest Begins to Speak. Priest: We came here together today to witness some of the happiest moments in the Life of Caitlyn Cross and Stephanie Fleischhauer. We came here together to be the Witnesses when two Loving Souls Form the Bond for their lives. I was told that both of them have Written their own Vows so I will shut up now and let them speak. The Guests chuckle a bit as the priest makes a Gesture that he locks his lips.
Cait smiled and got a Piece of Paper from the Priest and Raised an Eyebrow as it was the Wrong one and the Guests chuckle again before she got the Right one.Cait: Stephanie you are not only the Love of my Life, but No you are also my Best Friend and the one I can Rest my Heart with after a long and Tiresome day. I knew on the first day as you came on board of the Red Velvet that you are someone special, and I know you will say that I took a lot of time to finally Concede and you are Right. I was so Scared to Open my Heart that I Ignored the Love of my Life for 2 Years as I didn't believe I had even the Slightest Chance with you. the Guest Chuckle as the Present Day has Proven that believes totally Wrong. You are my Heart and my Soul and without you, I would be a Sorry Husk of a Woman, I want to Spend the Rest of my Live with you by my side as we travel the stars together and see the Wonders that make your eyes shine. So I am standing here and asking you today to Become my Wife and take me as yours in front of our Friends and Families. Cait smiled and stood there Nervousely while Steph was smiling at her and took the Paper with her own Vow from the Priest.
Of Course, being always Prepared and Ready for everything Steph had Written her own Vow already Months ago after Cait had asked her to become her wife. But now she was Improvising a bit as she felt this was the right thing now. Steph: Yes you have Waited for a way too long my Love, it felt like an Eternity.The Guests laugh about this Joke and Cait smiles nervously. But you were not the only one that didn't have the Courage to Act what her heart had told her. I fell in love with you as soon as I had first got a Sight of you. You had Stolen my Heart like the Pirate that you often played to entertain our Guests. [color=#808080]agian you can hear Laughter. But I didn't think that such a Bold and Brave Woman like you could have an interest in a Tight and on a tight-lipped and shy woman like me. But you have changed me for the Better, you have shown me that my Fears couldn't keep a Hold on Me and Supported me in everything I did, first as a Friend and later as my Partner and Lover. You accept me with all of my Flaws and even love me for them and that's why I ask you here and now if you want to become my Wife?
The Priest and some of the Guests had to Wipe some Tears from their eyes and so had the two Brides that now held each other's hands and smiled at each other and the Priest. The holy man had to
clear his throat before he could speak as he was Emotional Taken by the Two and the Love they Displayed.Priest: Well then let us come to the Most Important Part.He looks at Cait and Steph and then at Steph's parents.I assume you have the Rings?He smiled as they both handed the Girls one Ring that they could put on each other's fingers. Well then By the Power of God and the Chairwoman of Orbital Spa and Cruise that Gave me the License to Marry People on this Planet.Laughter I ask you Caitlyn Cross do you want to Marry Stephanie Fleischhauer and Honor and Love her both in Good and Bad Times?Cait smiled and Speaks loud and Clear as she puts the Ring on Steph's Finger. Cait: yes I want to take her as my Wife. And I Want to Love and Honor her in Good and Bad times for as long as we LiveThen the Priest looks at Steph. Steph: Yes I also want to take her as my Wife. And I also want to Love and Honor her in good and bad times.She puts the Ring on Cait's finger and the Priest Smiled Deeply.Priest: Then it is my Great Pleasure to Declare you Wife and Wife. You may Kiss each other now.And so they did. they Lifted each other's veils and enjoyed the First Sweet Kiss as Freshly Married women while the Guests Applauded and cheered for them.
After the Wedding, they went over to their Favorite Bar and had a Wedding Party. Cait had Organized their Favorite Food and a Huge Wedding Cake. They had fun with all their Guests and Danced till the Sun came up in the Morning before they Finally Fell asleep in each other's arms as a Newly Married Couple. It was a Long Road for them till here but it was worth it now their Way together had just Started and they were happy to Discover what is ahead of them together.
