Y/N is a Jedi who recently joined The Bad Batch. She becomes close with everyone in the squad, but is the closest with Tech. Y/N begins to fall in love with the nerdiest member of the squad.
Summary: The squad helps you and Tech plan your wedding.
Warnings: A bit of angst?
Note: I'm so sorry that I haven't updated my stories for a while! I hope you enjoy this chapter.

You and the squad have been relaxing lately. It's been nice not to have any missions to worry about. Since you have this time off, you and Tech decided to start getting things ready for your wedding. You and Tech decided that Pabu would be a suitable location for your wedding, so you and the Bad Batch decided to go there. Currently, you and Tech are sitting on the sand on the beach, Tech reviewing some information on his datapad.
"We should invite some of our old friends that we haven't seen in a while." You suggest.
Tech looks up from his datapad. "Keeping the amount of guests smaller would be safer. If the Empire sees a large number of people flying to Pabu on a random day, wouldn't they get suspicious?"
"But it's our wedding, Tech. When else are we going to see them?" You protest.
"If they Empire invades Pabu, we won't have a wedding at all." Tech says bluntly.
You can't deny that you're a bit hurt. You haven't seen your friends from the academy or some of the batch's friends like Cut and Rex for a long time.
Tech clears his throat. "You seem... upset. Is it something I said?"
"It's just..." You begin, looking out at the sea. "Who knows when we'll get an opportunity like this again? I love you, Tech, and I want others to be able to share this special moment with us."
"I know, Y/N. I just want to protect you."
"You know that I can protect myself." You say, realizing your tone is a bit too harsh.
Tech stands up. "I'll... leave you alone for a while."
"Wait- Tech!" You call out, watching him walk away.

You contemplate running after Tech, but decide that maybe he needs to be alone for a while. You hear footsteps behind you. You turn around and see that it's Echo. He looks like he wanted to ask you and Tech a question.
"Hey. I have a question for you and Tech." He looks around. "Where is Tech?"
You feel guilty. "Oh. He just... he went to do something."
Echo seems to infer that something happened between you two. "Don't take it personal, Y/N. He just wants the wedding to go perfectly."
"It doesn't need to be perfect."
"I know. He'll come back, I know he will."
Before you can explain that you feel like you should be the one apologizing, Echo says, "Also, Omega is looking for you. She said something about a wedding dress."
You see Omega waving at you from one of the higher levels of the island. "I'll go see what she needs." You tell Echo, making your way towards Omega.

Omega is beaming when you find her. You don't want anybody else to ask if you and Tech had a bit of a fight, so you fake a smile.
"Lyana and I have been working on something for you." Omega tells you.
She takes your hand and leads you to Shep and Lyana's house. Lyana sees you two walk in and you and Omega follow her into her room. Lyana pulls out a beautiful, white, crocheted wedding dress with intricate designs.
You gasp, looking at it. "You- you made this?"
Lyana and Omega nod.
"Try it on!" Lyana says.
(AN: The wedding dress looks something like this.)

Omega and Lyana leave the room so you can try on the wedding dress. It fits very well. You take a look at yourself in the mirror. Countless hours must have been put into making this dress. Omega knocks on the door.
"Can we come in?"
"Yes." You respond.
Omega and Lyana walk in, staring in awe.
"You look beautiful." Lyana compliments.
"Lyana, Omega, this dress is perfect. I need to pay you, or give you something."
Lyana shakes her head. "You're a friend. You've helped rebuild Pabu, and besides, it's for your special day. We won't accept anything you give us."
You smile. "You two are sweet."
Lyana and Omega leave again so you can change into your old clothes.

You meet up with Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair at the place on the beach where the wedding will be. Various other people who live on Pabu are helping with setting up chairs, moving various objects, and more.
"How can I help?" You ask Wrecker.
Wrecker picks up a stack of 10 chairs like it weighs as much as a feather. "Ask Hunter. He should know."
Hunter sees you. "Can you use the Force to string those lights between those two poles. They're too tall for any of us to reach- even Crosshair."
"I could reach them if I stood on my toes..." Crosshair mutters.
You use the Force to lift the strings of lights, making sure they don't fall and break. You're able to do it after a few moments.
"Anything else?" You ask Hunter.
Hunter shakes his head. "I think we've got it covered from here." He smiles. "Go relax. You've been planning all day."
Taking his advice, you walk to one of the upper islands and look out at the gorgeous view, drinking some cold water.

"Y/N?" You hear Tech's voice say behind you.
You turn around. "Tech, I'm so-"
"I'm sorry, Y/N." Tech interrupts. "We should invite our friends. I was just worried, because I care about you so much, and to have the Empire find us on our wedding day would be awful. I just... I want it to be amazing."
You give him a gentle smile. "It doesn't need to be perfect. I understand your concern. If it's safer, we shouldn't invite them."
"No." Tech walks over to you and hugs you. "We're inviting them, and if the Empire finds us, I'll fight every last one of them for you, mesh'la."
"You're too sweet, Tech." You laugh. "I'm so lucky to have Mr. Hero to protect me."
"Indeed you are." Tech smiles. For others, seeing his smile is a rare occasion. But for you, you're used to it, because he feels comfortable showing that side of himself around you.
Tech ends the embrace and pulls out his datapad. "I think it's time we tell our friends about our special day, don't you?"
