It's The Real Deal: Rebooted 3

Chapter 3: Rewinding The Music A Bit Too Much

(A/N: Yes, I skipped a few episodes, sue me.)

Lily's P.O.V.

I don't know why but somehow we're on Season 3 already. "Shouldn't you be at a beauty parlor or something?" Carter asks. "This episode is so sad." I say. "What do you mean, episode?" Allison asks. Oh, gosh. "I mean, uh, what is it the 1960s and nobody told her?" I cover. They look confused for a second and then shrug it off. "Relax, Carter. We've both done this before. I mean, separately, but..." Allison trails off. We already met Eva Thorn. She's the 'fixer' of G.D. and I really don't like her. "Yeah, but getting married isn't like riding a bike or returning dry cleaning. I mean, getting married
should be momentous!" Carter states. I agree. "Well, redaction is momentous, too, but I owe it to these people to see them through it." Allison points out.

More redactions. Argh! "Big day. Nervous?" Eva asks. Allison laughs. "I'm not a first time bride." Allison points out. That's true. I feel so bad for Carter. "Sorry I had to call you in, but quarterly balance sheets are due Monday. This couldn't wait." Eva points out, handing her a peice of paper. "Another set of layoffs? There's over a dozen people here." Allison points out. Not a good day for a lot of people. "Good thing you called in the cavalry. Blood stain?" Eva asks Carter, looking at his shirt.

"Oh, no, breakfast." Carter explains. Makes sense. "It's Saturday, it's my last clean shirt, so..." He trails off. Not a very happy day for Carter. "Time's a-wasting. Wouldn't want to miss your beautiful wedding." Eva claims. "You didn't invite her, did you?" I ask Allison. "No." Allison points out. Of course she didn't. "I take one half, you take the other?" I ask Carter. He nods. "Sure." He says.

In one of the G.D. hallways: Lily's P.O.V.

"Look, this whole redaction thing stinks." I say to him. "I'd like to see the Fixer cleaning up excrement." He states. "Look, Lincoln, um, for what it's worth, we all know that you're the best, um, excrement guy around. Just remember, today at 6:00 p.m., your badge is disabled. I'm sorry." I say to him. I really am. "I've been in Eureka for eight years. Kinda hard to go back to the PETCO in Pacoima, you know?" He asks me. "Yeah, well, it's been a hard day for a lot of good people." I say to him. "Lily! Curl your hair?" Stark asks. "No. Shouldn't you be at the beauty parlor? It is your big day." I ask him.

"Supervising an important delivery." Stark explains. "Time-sensitive." Fargo points out. I really like Fargo. "Guys." I say. "Do you need something, Lily?" He asks me. I do. "Yeah, I need to find, uh, Maintenance. Last guy on my list is, um...Uh, Weinbrenner." I state. "Basement." Fargo says, pointing down. Good to know. "Just do whatever you have to do, but, please, don't be late to the wedding" Stark requests. He walks away. "I can't believe she's marrying him again." I say to myself.

In the basement: Lily's P.O.V.

"Weinbrenner? Leo Weinbrenner?" I ask, going into the room. "Anyone here?" I ask. A big flash of light beams in my face. I groan. "Wow. All right. You just bought yourself an extra day." I state. I know what that was and thank goodness Carter didn't go in here.

At the wedding: Lily's P.O.V.

"You're late." Joe scolds me. "I met your sister." Joe says to Carter. "Yeah, arrest her for corrupting a minor." Carter states. "Wow." Carter and I say at the same time. "Momentous, huh?" She asks. "Yeah. Are you okay? You look, pale." Allison says to Carter. "That's the white tent. Allison, um, there's something that I wanted to say. Um, something you should know. I'll always be here for you, no matter what." Carter states. Aw, that's so sweet.

I love them together. "Everything's gonna work out the way it's supposed to." Allison states. Oh, really? We're outside and the wedding has started. "Love is timeless, transcending everything we know, everything we understand, and giving us strength and comfort forever. What is past is now present, and what is present will become your future. That is what love is: Never-ending. Now, before you share your vows, if there is anyone here who knows why these two should not be joined together, speak now, or forever hold your peace." Henry states. Objection! Carter and Allison belong together! Of course I don't say that out loud. There's a thunder clap and then the day rewinds.
