Rydel's POV

I slowly awaken to find myself buried under a mountain of blankets.  I'm coated in a thin layer of hot sweat and the blankets really aren't helping anything.  I dig through my mountain of blankets and I emerge at last, only to realize I'm in a tent.  Memories of yesterday come flooding back to me as I sit up and grab a blanket to cover myself with.  

"Is my queen awake?" A muffled voice asks as the blankets being to move.  

"Yeah," I yawn as my newly wedded husband emerges from under the blankets.  He drags himself on top of the blankets and pulls me in for a kiss, dragging me on top of the blankets as well.  The kiss begins to heat up as his arms caress my body gently.  My hands bury themselves in his hair as our lips begin to move in sync.  Eventually, I pull away.  

"Good morning," Ellington smiles as he pulls me back into his lips.  I enjoy the kiss for a few seconds before I push him off of me.  

"Babe, we gotta get dressed.  We don't wanna repeat last night, do we?" I smirk as I drag my suitcase closer to me.  

"Actually, I wouldn't mind repeating last night," Ellington smirks devilishly.  

"Of course you wouldn't mind," I giggle as I open his suitcase and throw some clothes at him. "Now come on, the sooner we get to Wisconsin, the sooner we can start our new life."   Ellington reluctantly puts on his clothes as I throw on a tee shirt and some sweat pants.  Afterwards, we pack up all of our things and load them into the car.  Ellington walks me around to the passenger side of the car and opens the door for me, helping me in.  He runs around to his side of the car and starts the engine eagerly.  He buckles himself in, and soon we are speeding off into the city.  

We drive around for an hour or so, stopping once to drive through McDonald's for breakfast, before finding a beauty parlor to hopefully get our hair dyed.  Once we finally find a place, we both jump out of our car and head inside.  We enter the store to find a little old lady behind the counter.  

"Hi, we're here to get our hair dyed," I smile politely.  

"Ok, did you make an appointment?" she asks as she types something into her computer without giving either of us a glance.  

"No, we were just hoping there was someone available to do it for us," I sigh.  The woman types a few more things into her computer before looking up at us and freezing.  Her eyes dilate in fear and she begins shaking.  Crap, she must know who we are.  She studies Ellington and I nervously for a few minutes as we exchange glances.  

"Um, where's your bathroom?" Ellington asks, breaking the awkward silence.  The old lady points a shaky hand at a few doors near the back as Ellington whispers a quick thank you and walks over to it.  I let out an awkward giggle before I follow Ellington as wander into a bathroom of my own.  I quickly do my business and wash up before digging through my purse for some makeup. Hopefully this will give Ellington time to deal with the appointments and stuff.  

As I'm doing my mascara, I begin to hear sirens getting nearer and nearer to the store.  Getting nervous, I decide to pack up my makeup and see what all of the commotion is about.  I cautiously exit the bathroom and peek around the corner to see a struggling Ellington in handcuffs, being held by a police officer.  I let out a gasp as my eyes dilate in fear.  My heart starts pounding as Ellington's eyes meet mine.  A confused, scared look is running through them as Ellington begins struggling less and less.  

"There's the other one, get her!" Another police officer shouts as he points as me.  I drop my stuff in surprise as the man rushes over to me and straps a pair of handcuffs around my wrists.  The police guys drag Ellington outside to their car and shove us both into the back seat.  We stare at each other in confusion as the car speeds away.  

"Ok look, I admit it.  I stole Riker's tie.  I'm sorry.  I just needed it for my wedding.  He can even have it back if he really wants it," Ellington sighs.  

"Shut up," one of the police guys growl.  

"Ok, someone's having a bad day," Ellington giggles.  

"Ellington," I snap as I elbow him.  

"I'll shut up now," Ellington sighs.  The rest of the ride is silent accept for my thoughts, which are screaming at me in fear.  I rest my head on Ellington's shoulder and he tries to put his arm around me, but he soon realizes he can't.  Eventually, we get to a police station and the police guys guide us down the halls and shove the two of us into a holding cell.  They then remove our handcuffs and lock the door, leaving us alone.  Immediately after they leave, I burst into tears and collapse into Ellington's arms.

"What did we do?" I whimper.  

"I don't know, baby, but it's going to be alright.  I promise.  I'm sure they'll realize we're innocent and we'll be outta here by tomorrow," he assures.   "Then we can go to Wisconsin and start our new life, just like we were planning to."

"But I don't wanna be here!" I whimper.  

"I know, baby.  Neither do I, but I'm sure this is just a mistake," he smiles comfortingly.  I smile back at him as he leads me onto one of the stone bed things and sits me down.  He plops himself down next to me and wraps an arm around my waist, pulling me closer.  He places a soft kiss on my cheek before resting his head on top of mine.  I rest my eyes peacefully, only to be startled by the sound of lots of footsteps.  I snuggle myself closer to Ellington and burry my head in his chest, wishing everything would go away and we could go back to yesterday, when we were getting married and happier than we've ever been.  I eventually open my eyes to see Rocky, Ross, Riker, Mom, Dad, and Ellington's parents standing in front of us, all with red eyes and puffy noses.

Dun dun dun!  What the heck do you think happened?  Comment below!  Also, I'm sorry for the lack of updates, I just got back from a trip to Africa and I am insanely jet lagged and dead tired, even though it's only 7 pm my time.
