" You must be over the moon " ; Luke smiled at me as we face-timed . He was packing his bags while I ate ice-cream . 

" I am . My wish came true . No more luggage trudging . But , I am going to miss having two birthdays , two Christmas but okay . Mom and dad being together makes up for all of it " ; I said . 

" So which one are you attending ? The bachelor or the bachelorette party ? " 

" I am attending both and you are my date to the wedding " 

" Woohh .... Double fun ! " 

" I know and this time I get to get drunk with no restrictions . I wanna get drunk and dance " ; I said giddily . 

" Well , I am glad you feel happy " ; Luke said as he finished packing . 

" I miss you " ; I said . 

" I miss you too but I will see you tomorrow and I bought something for you . I went to the market and I saw something that reminded me of you so I got it " 

" What is it ? " 

" A lot of things . You will love it " 

" Now I am excited " ; I squealed . 

He chuckled . " Okay . I gotta go . My flight leaves early and I gotta get my beauty sleep . Bye Stacey " 

" Bye Luke " ; I said as I blew a flying kiss to the screen . 

He caught it and winked . I laughed before hanging up . 

I jumped up from my chair and walked to the lab where dad was working on something . Mom walked past me but not before kissing my forehead as I heard Johnny shout - " What do you have against capitalism ? " 

We both chuckled . I walked into the lab to see Johnny holding up the fantastic four suit with brand sponsor tags on it . 

" That looks horrible " ; I said . 

He huffed before placing the suit back on the table . 

" Is the thing complete ? " ; I asked dad pointing at the new jet thingy he was making . 

" Not yet . Hey Stace , Johnny , come look at this " ; he said to us . 

We both looked at the huge screen and up there was the diagram of the earth . 

" So , you know about the phenomenon in Japan , right ? " ; dad asked both of us . Johnny nodded , I stared . 

" I don't " ; I replied . 

" And that is why you failed GK in school " ; Johnny said . 

" And you dropped out . At least I graduated school " ; I snapped back . 

" Okay okay . I will just say what happened . So , the water on the lake froze  but its not even winter there or snowing . They say an entity passed over them and everything became solid " ; dad explained . 

Johnny stifled a laugh . I whacked him . 

" Anyways , so I was curious , so I started to track the entity and so far it has passed over L.A. , Vegas , Japan , Egypt and ... Latveria " ; he read from the charts . 

" You don't have tiptoe around me ! I mean , the first thing I did was brag to Booth and Luke about how I was royalty and had royal bloodline . You can say Latveria without hesitation " ; I said . 

" Please , with or without royalty , you still act like a queen " ; Johnny pointed out . 

I ignored him . " Go on dad " 

" But it has disappeared , so I am in the process of making a new machine cause Hager said I should to help find this entity " ; he concluded . 

" Hager reminds me of Captain Holt from Brooklyn 99 " ; I said aloud . 

" Please don't tell that to him " ; dad said . 

" All this science talk is actually boring me . How about we talk something important ? Your bachelor party " ; Johnny suggested . 

" No " ; dad chuckled . 

" Why not ? " 

" Technically , I am not a bachelor " 

" Technically , you are " ; I pointed . 

" Johnny , Stace , no . No bachelor parties " ; dad said before starting to work on the jet . 

Me and Johnny looked at each other before he spoke up . 

" that's sad . Very much " ; he said . 

" Yeah . I bet mum will be really upset " ; I said . 

" If she sees you focusing on making the jet and this device for Hager " ; Johnny continued . 

" Instead of working on the wedding like you promised " ; I finished . 

Dad stopped working and wheeled back to us on his chair . He smiled at us . 

" Okay " ; he agreed . 

" Yes ! " ; Johnny high-fived me . 

" But no strippers " ; he added . 

" deal " ; I agreed .
