Location Groomsman Tent

Jazin sat in a tent, in full dress sweating like there was no tomorrow. Partly because his uniform combined with the climate. On the other end however he was just about to take the biggest step of his life. Marriage. He was nervous to be sure. But he sort of put himself in the situation. He sat in thought. Rehearsing his lines as it were when he saw John enter. He offered a wave.

John waved back. He made his way his nervous future brother in law. He held up the box with the rings. "What kind of best man would I be if I didn't bring the rings." He grinned.

"Leave it to a Marine if you want it done right." The Trill chuckled. "You're a lifesaver." he smiled.

Peyton was not sure why he was asked to be a groomsman. His only thought, maybe Sam wanted someone to walk down the aisle with her. And who better, than that guy bugging her at the resort. He wondered if this was punishment or if he was winning her favor. The tent was a little warm. He looked over to Gabe. "Mister Sharpe, you are an engineer, is this air conditioning even working?" He asked.

"Somehow I doubt it." Gabe replied, wiping the sweat from his brow. "Unless of course Jazin wanted this place to feel like the middle of Vulcan. Besides, it's Risa, it's almost always warm on these beaches and we're not exactly dressed for it."

"Good point, so my sister appears to be taking a fancy to you." Suggested Peyton with a big grin on his face.

"Frankly Kiddo, I get the feelin' she's taken a fancy to the idea of me. An idea that the academy's blown way outta proportion. The real me can't even begin to match up to the genius Wunderkind they've made me out to be." Gabe replied, doing his best to keep the anger out of his voice.

"That has to be rough, to idolized, do you want me to talk to her?" Asked Peyton, taking a little amusement that he may have to talk to Emily about her idolizing Gabe.

"'Prolly best to leave it for now, She'll learn the truth soon enough. May be better that way, less chance of something goin' wrong." Gabe answered, not wanting to drag Peyton into whatever was going on.

"Okay, I see your point." Said Peyton, as he wondered how Sam was doing over in the bridesmaid tent?

Jazin couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't know the young man talking to Gabe but that didn't make it any less amusing to him. He looked at Gabe and smiled, shrugging his shoulders.

Location Bridesmaid Tent

Emily was sitting down, the tent was very cold. She was shivering, which was not helping the hair dresser. She looked over at the bride, and then over at Sam. "So my brother?" She said with a big grin on her face.

Sam was doing her own makeup and hair. She hated anyone else then her mom or herself touching her hair. She turned to Emily when she was talking to her. She then put some foundation on. "Yes, you're brother."

"What's the story with you too. Spent all day together, the other night." Said Emily, curious to know what Sam's intentions were with her baby brother.

Sam shrugged and then said, "He came to me really, and you know he is alright once you get to know him, I guess. And, well, there aren't that many kids my age on the ship. So what the hell." She then looked to Emily and then bounced back, "Speaking about brothers, it looks to me you had a moment with my brother there. What do you think of him?"

"Don't know him, but he is cute." Simply said Emily, as she continued to get ready for the wedding.

"Oh, you'll love Eoin. He is the sweetest guy you'll ever meet. So be nice to him." Sam said with a grin.

"Your assuming we meet, neither one of us, has reached out to talk to the other." Said Emily, with a smile on her face. She had a feeling that this Eoin guy was trouble, but she was attracted to trouble. Hopefully soon, she would be able to meet Sam's brother. For now she had to admire him from a far.
