Missing Gears

Chapter 1

Naomi and Virgil stood hand in hand outside a church in Matamata, New Zealand. Three weeks earlier Virgil had proposed to Naomi at a New Year's party with her old team at the FBI. Three days later they had decided that they wanted to get married at Naomi's old church in her hometown. A week after that, Naomi had started packing her stuff for her move to Tracy Island. Although Jeff Tracy had told the couple that he was perfectly fine with Virgil moving back to America to live with his soon to be wife, both Naomi and Virgil wanted to live on the island. So that Virgil could continue working for International Rescue. So that Naomi could join International Rescue.
"You okay Nomey?" Virgil asked his fiancé

"Yeah. Just nervous. I haven't been here for over 20 years. I don't even remember who was running the office,"

"You were barely six when you left,"

"Yeah. And I barely remember anyone from here. And like 60% of the church was at the funeral,"

"So let's get this over and done with,"

"Yeah,"

Naomi knocked on the office door. A short women opened it. She looked very familiar to Naomi

"Hi, can I help you?" She asks

"Um... Hi, I'm Naomi Winchester and this is my fiancé Virgil Tracy. We were wondering if we could have our wedding here,"

"Come on in, I'll see what I can do," The women showed the couple into the office "I'm Philippa Winchester by the way," Naomi laughed a little.

"I think my cousin on my dad's side has a wife called Philippa," She explained "It's not every day this sort of thing happens,"

"What's your cousin's name?"

"Err... It can't be Nat or Theo because I know for certain they're still bachelors. Maru is who knows where doing who knows what. Brian, David and Kelvin all have a different last names. Anthony lives in Rotorua while Jeremy is in Wellington. So that leaves Sam and Matthew," Naomi counts on her fingers "I think its Matt but I can't be sure. I haven't seen any of my cousins since I was like six,"

"So you're the cousin who moved to America,"

"Yeah. Wow. Are you and Matt living here?"

"On a farm out on Taihou South,"

"Cool,"

"Anyway, besides the mini family reunion, you two want to get married here,"

"Yeah. Naomi grew up here and we thought it would be nice if we married in Naomi's hometown,"

"So what date are you thinking about?" Philippa asked, logging onto the computer.

"We haven't..."

"July 14th," Virgil interrupted "No more tears of sadness,"

"A winter wedding?"

"Why not?"

"You just want it to be easier to remember my birthday," Naomi bantered with her fiancé playfully

"Have I ever forgotten your birthday?"

"No. But your brother has,"

"So we have nothing planned or booked on Wednesday 14th July this year, would you like us to book you in for the day?" Philippa asked

"Yes please," Naomi and Virgil said in union. A tall boy walked through the door.

"Hey Mum," He looked up and saw the two visitors in the office.
