[Jabberwocky]

Amber:"I know...maybe I'm just being needy?"

[Pockets]

Alexis shakes her head.

Alexis: I don't think so.

She looks at Amber for a moment

Alexis: You are hoping it goes further with Colin!

[Jabberwocky]

Amber blushes

Amber:"Maybe..."

she looks at Alexis

Amber:"Do you...think any less of me for what I do for a living?"..Or...did...?

[Pockets]

Alexis: What are you talking about?

[Jabberwocky]

Amber glances over towards Raquel, then back at Alexis

Amber:"I...know your aunt quite well. Her being my boss and all.."

[Pockets]

A look of confusion crosses Alexis' face, then you can almost see the light bulb turn on.

Alexis: Wha... Oh!

She chuckles off her surprise.

Alexis: Well, as long as you're not charging him....

[Jabberwocky]

Amber:"Heh,Only up until the point that I agreed he wasn't just a client...
So...that doesn't bother you?"

[Pockets]

Alexis: Not as long as you really are serious about him. Not counting all the drama that's been going on, I've never seen him happier than when he's with you.

[Jabberwocky]

Amber smiles and gives Alexis a hug
Amber:"Thank you...Wait...you need a dress right? I had this client...he's a dress maker. Italian guy, really nice. I can probably get you a deal on a custom fit number. And something for the wedding night too."

[Pockets]

Alexis returns the hug.

Alexis: Yeah... thanks!

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan walks into the bar via the back. He sees alexis, looking specifically at her left hand. He looks serious and takes a seat at a table in the corner of the room. Alex approaches him.

Alex: Dad.... you're here?

Ewan: I am.... I take it that what I've heard is true.

Alex: Yes.... Alexis and I are getting married.

Ewan: I see.

Alex: Aren't you going to congratulate us?

Ewan: Not yet.... Alexis still hasn't met our family's.... approval.

[Jabberwocky]

Amber looks over at Alex and his dad and turns Alexis, uncertainty in her voice

Amber:"I'm sure everything will be alright with you..."


Raquel looks over

Raquel:"Oh my goodness, Ewan Edwards?"

[Pockets]

Alexis: I knew this wasn't going to be easy....

She walks over to the table.

Alexis: Hello Mr. Edwards... what exactly do I need to do to meet your approval?

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan looks towards Alexis and gestures for her to sit down.

Ewan: Nice to see you again Alexis..... you can call me Ewan if you'd like.

..... so tell me.... why did you agree to marry Alex?

[Pockets]

Alexis sits, half nervous, and half smiling, thinking about Alex.

Alexis: I just asked Alex if I could stay at his place at first just so I could have a place to stay....

She giggles.

Alexis: Ok, maybe it didn't hurt my decision that I had a bit of a crush on him.... And when I got there, Alex was nothing but a gentleman, making sure I was comfortable there. I couldn't tell you where the line was, and maybe it wasn't a line exactly, but I went from just staying at his place to living with him. When we weren't at one arena or another or I wasn't with Micah... cause I was dating him at the time... I was with Alex, and I was happy. Micah saw it and called me on it... called Alex on it too. Until then I had no idea that Alex had any sort of feelings for me, or even really that I felt the same way. But actually being with him makes me even happier, and all I want is to be with him, no matter where, no matter what. It just seems natural to be with him, so why wouldn't I have said yes?

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan smiles.

Ewan: I see.... That story sounds somewhat familiar.

He looks at the ring on Alexis finger and laughs slightly.

Ewan: Do you intend to take our name Alexis?

[Pockets]

Alexis smiles.

Alexis: Yes, I do.

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan looks serious.

Ewan: Good.... now I'm sure you're aware that there is a certain... responsibility that comes with being an Edwards. I remember Jillian found the idea quite... daunting.

[Pockets]

Alexis looks between Ewan and Alex, suddenly nervous again.

Alexis: What is that?

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan laughs.

Ewan: I'm simply referring to the fact that if you are an Edwards.... you are a representitive of our family.... I simply wish to ensure that you understand what it means to be an Edwards. So I would like to invite you to come to our home... see where Alex grew up. Perhaps indulge us in participating in a silly little tradition we have when one of us gets married.

Alex looks concerned.

Alex: Dad. Don't.

Ewan: Come on Alex... Your mother did it without hesitation.... you don't think your fiance is up to it?

Alex: She is more than capable.

Ewan: Then there is no need for your concern.

Alex sighs.

Alex: .... It is her choice.

[Pockets]

Alexis: May I ask what this "silly little tradition" is?

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex doesn't look happy.

Alex: Part of the tradition is not knowing what it is beforehand..... so you don't have time to..... prepare.

Ewan laughs.

Ewan: Don't be so dramatic son. You mother had a lot of fun at her initiation.

[Pockets]

There is a gleam in Alexis' eyes.

Alexis: Fine. I'll do it.

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan looks impressed.

Ewan: Excellent. I look forward to your visit. It'll be.... fun.

He stands and hugs Alexis.

Ewan: I'm sure you two still have some.... celebrating to do..... so I'll leave you to it.

He looks at Alexis' hand one last time.

Ewan: Take good care of that ring.

He turns and leaves.

[Pockets]

Alexis blinks and stares at the departing Ewan... then at Alex.

Alexis: That went better than expected....
