Welcome to Gaia! ::

"If you learn how to cook as well as my mother, I might just be forced to keep you." C.T. joked, thinking back to the many dishes that her mother had prepared for them, the woman could work magic in the kitchen and C.T. wasn't completely sure that her mother was hiding some sort of magical cooking ability from her. That was really the only way that C.T. could ever hope to explain how her mother was able to force so much flavor into her food.

Part of C.T. was a little sad when Mag said that a spot at the rec. might not be for her, but that sadness lessened when she continued onto say that she and Jennie planned on moving into the area, so at least they would still be close. C.T. would never admit it but losing proximity to her first and closest friend would hurt her deeply. But she had to admit that a job at a clinic would suit her better, C.T. wasn't too sure about Esther, but then again she supposed she couldn't just assume the girl was going to be ok with letting C.T. work to support them. Esther had yet to even hint at being the type of girl to be a stay at home wife.

C.T. wondered how their relationship would ship once they were both married and working. Or if only she was working, or if somehow she became the housewife and Esther was working. In none of the scenarios she imagined did she seem unhappy. So there was that.

Things seemed to truly be looking up for her, she'd not only get to be closer to her blood family, but her adopted one as well, and she'd get to live happily ever after with the woman she loved, what else could she ask for? "I think the best part of this deal yet, is that I won't have to see Mag until Sundays." C.T. mused to herself.

If C.T. had known that there would be a fight for who would be able to be her best man, she might have kept the little known fact of her and Esther's engagement go by the wayside. "How about we let Esther be the husband, and I'll just have you two be bridesmaids." C.T. offered.

"Maid of honor."

Kat shot that down instantly and C.T. nodded her head to the side. "Oh yea, that is a thing isn't it." C.T. said having completely forgotten about that little bit of info. "Hm." C.T. said, as if she were still thinking about the maid of honor thing when she was really trying to think of a way out of this predicament.

Esther chanting in the background wasn't helping at all. C.T. shot her a look before sighing. "Soo..... Esther doesn't have a maid of honor...." C.T. started trying to pass some of the heat off to her wife.

C.T. was thinking about slipping away while all eyes were on Esther no one would even notice her if she were to just randomly disappear would they?

But Kia forced her to stick around by throwing herself into the fray and making the whole scene one that C.T. couldn't just ignore because it had the potential to become very funny.

But things calmed down rather quickly when Esther suggested that they not go with such traditional wedding roles so that everyone could be happy. Honestly C.T. would have thought of something like that herself if she didn't think that her idea would be ignored by either Mag or Kat. "Yes, Esther! That is a great idea, you two can both be my 'special guest' and everyone can be happy."

"Sounds like a cop out to me." Kat said directed at C.T. who shrugged. "It might be, but even if it is, it's no more of a cop out than calling our little bout a draw." C.T. commented offhandedly. "What was that?" Mag asked interested, "Nothing, it was nothing." Kat cut her off.

"We don't have to forgo the parties..." C.T. commented, smiling slightly at how excited Mag seemed to get at C.T. saying that. "The last party we had was kind of fun anyway." C.T. said with a shrug. It would be nice to see everyone together having fun again, even if she knew that Mag wouldn't probably make the bachorlette party more than just a night of innocent fun, but still she didn't mind. "See Esther, no big deal right?" Mag grinned. It was probably a bigger deal than Mag was making it out to be, but C.T. would ignore that thought for now. In favor of listening to Sandy and Kat's conversation.

"That's flexible," Kat said easily. "No rush really, now that we know how many we have, I can prepare spots and they will be open when you guys come around." Kat said nodding, before adding a bit more. "But of course, can't wait too long."

"Please, like I would ever allow any strippers anywhere near my best friend." Mag defended, crossing her arms. "Besides C.T. gets all stiff when strangers touch her, wouldn't want her hurting any of these girls feelings." Mag added, poking at C.T. with her elbow. Connie swatted the girls arm away. "It's a shame that the only reason you aren't going to hire strippers is because I'm "stiff" and not because I have a fiance." C.T. said giving Mag a look. "Well to be fair, I wouldn't expect you too do anything dishonest, besides I would hire male strippers, most of us aren't gay Connie, some woman like something with a bit more girth." Connie blanched.

"A-anyway.... I can't wait for my mother and the rest of my family to meet all of you." C.T. coughed, turning her attention to Sandy and the others. "It will be a bit weird getting used to being outside, but I promise everyone is going to be very accepting of you. My family has lived in palm for years, and never had they ever had to deal with any prejudice." Connie assured those who may be a little nervous.

"I also think it's worth noting that my mother is planning a dinner for us when we return. And all of you are invited if you choose to tag along a bit sooner."

Kat just had to mention free food.

"Wonder what that says about your food Mag, that all Kat had to do was mention food to get Sandy running." C.T. teased a bit. Mag humphed at that, not thinking the joke was as funny as C.T. did. "I can cook just fine thank you very much." Mag scoffed turning her head. "Not like my mother." Kia argued, realizing the mistake she made by talking a little too late, as Mag glared at her.

"First you insult me by preying on my woman," Mag said stepping towards Kia, who took a step back gulping loudly. "And then you insult, my cooking." Mag continued taking another step forward. "Calm down Mag, to be fair my mothers cooking is better." C.T. said, "But I'm sure she'll be willing to help you improve." C.T. said ignoring the look that Mag was giving her. "Anyway, you are right about one thing, I am a bit hungry after the trip, we should go eat."

"How are you going to ban me from my kitchen," C.T. challenged as they moved into the cafeteria, Mag didn't answer her only humphed. C.T. sniggered to herself before saying to herself a bit loudly. "Really not painting yourself as best man material." C.T. said and Mag turned on her "Oh yea? I'll show you best friend material!" Mag said before storming off behind the counter.

"Is she going to poison our food?" Kia asked a bit nervously.

"No, knowing her, she's going try and impress us with this meal, to shut us up about our mother's cooking." C.T. said, taking a seat at the counter and resting her elbow's on the counter. "She's kind of scary." Kia commented, more to herself than to anyone else. "Never heard that said about her," C.T. said with a laugh.

That's when Mag came out with food for everyone, minus C.T. placing plates in front of everyone. From there she sat across the counter right in front of C.T. and stared Connie directly in her eyes. C.T. held Mag's gaze unwaveringly. "So that's how you feel huh?"

"Yea, that's how I feel."

"Ok"
