Through Time and Space

Chapter 43

"Wake up, wake up, wake up," Jemma shook Skye awake as she walked in to her friend's bunk.

"What?" Skye mumbled, not at all pleased to be woken before 9:00.

"We have to get you ready! Today's the big day!"

Skye looked over at the clock and sighed. She ran a hand through her hair and sat up slowly, getting her bearings before standing. Jemma grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the bunk and towards Jemma's bunk.

"Sit," Simmons ordered, moving Skye to sit on her bed.

Skye did as she was told as Simmons started pulling out the supplies to do Skye's hair.

"Simmons, can we get breakfast first?" Skye asked as she rested her hands on her stomach. "It's still extremely early and I'm still waking up. Besides, we can get ready at the venue."

Jemma paused, looking down at the curling iron. She sighed. "Fine, but in one hour, we're going to the site and getting ready."

Skye held her hands up in surrender. "Fine."

"Alright, now you're allowed to push me around," Skye joked after she had finished eating her breakfast.

Simmons gave her a grateful smile and rolled her eyes, tugging on Skye's arm to pull her out of the Bus.

They made it to the cargo bay when they bumped in to Ward and Fitz.

"Hello, boys," Skye saluted with two fingers and Simmons held on to her wrist.

Ward copied her salute and smirked. "Busy day?"

Skye shrugged. "No more than usual, this one's excited, though," Skye pointed at Simmons.

Ward chuckled. "Good luck."

Skye grinned at him and allowed herself to be pulled off the Bus, down the ramp, and towards the Bridal Room, where the bride and her wedding party could get ready.

"Sit down," Jemma directed, pointing towards a chair.

Skye did as she was told and Simmons walked over with the supplies.

She took Skye's hair out of its loose bun and ran through it with a brush until it was smooth. She pulled most of the hair back and started braiding it, then twisting it into a bun. She fastened the braid against Skye's head with a few bobby pins so that it wouldn't fall out. She then pulled on the outer edges of the braid so they created a flower effect. Jemma then moved to the other side of Skye's head and curled the shorter pieces of hair that didn't fit in to the braid.

With a satisfied smile, Jemma leaned back and admired her work. "Perfect."

"Can I see?" Skye asked, raising her eyebrows, holding out her hands to accept the mirror Simmons was holding. "Oh, Jemma, its beautiful!" She exclaimed as she looked at her hair in the mirror.

"Ready for your makeup?" Jemma asked, starting to pull the makeup out from the bag she had packed.

"Sure," Skye shrugged.

Jemma applied Skye's makeup easily, having already had practice on applying the makeup during Rose's wedding.

Skye appraised the makeup job once Simmons had finished. "Not flashy. I like it."

"Good to hear," Simmons smiled as she started putting the makeup away.

Skye laughed. "Do you want to just do my makeup every day?"

Simmons laughed at the joke and then zipped up the makeup bag. "I'm going to go run these to the Bus. Once I get back, we can get you in your dress and do any final touches. The wedding starts in an hour and a half."

Skye nodded her approval as Simmons walked away quickly. Skye stood up from her chair and walked towards the closet, where her dress was hanging up. She pulled it out and took it off the hanger, holding it up to herself whilst looking in the mirror. She let a satisfied smile cross her face.

She heard a slight scuffle in the hallway and chuckled. "Simmons are you okay?" There was no reply so Skye set the dress down on the chair and walked out of the room. "Simmons?" She walked to where she heard the sound come from and there was no one there. She turned the corner to head back to the Bridal Room and a figure popped up in front of her. The person shot her with an icer and threw a bag over her head.

The last thing Skye saw before falling completely under, was another figure with a bag over their head being dragged along side her. 

If you really thought I was going to let everything go smoothly, then you don't know me at all. 😂
