Soon the day of the wedding arrived and Hux was more than nervous about it. He didn't know why. It would end just as quickly as it began. It just never occurred to him that he would be getting married soon. He didn't plan to get married for at least another ten minutes of at all. But it was a good plan in order for him to continue on with his mission. If he didn't complete it his father would be furious. But that was the least of his worries. There was no way for his father to find him.

Hux finished dressing in formal black attire from the boots to the coat, when he heard a knock at the door. He shouted for the person to come in. He turned to see Poe standing there in his normal looking attire.

"I can see you're ready." He commented just standing at the door.

"I guess so. What can I help you with?" Hux said, feeling the tension rise.

"Look I know these aren't the best circumstances but under them, I have to do this." Poe said, seeming to try to convince himself.

"What is it you have to do?" Hux asked, confused.

"Warn you." Poe said.

"About what?" Trying to make sense of what he was saying.

"If you hurt my sister . . ." Poe started.

Hux raised his hand, "I have no plan to." He stated honestly.

Poe stopped him, "That may be but she is a fragile soul underneath her exterior. Even if you have no plan to, I want your word that even in the short amount time you will not to anything to harm her."

"Why this sudden thing? You'll be here the entire time." Hux said trying to make sense of his sudden change in mood.

"Not exactly. I will be leaving after the wedding." Poe announced.

"Why?" Hux asked, shocked.

Poe took a deep breath as he turned to the door, "I have been given a job that will take me about a week or more to complete. Either way when I come back I will help get the marriage annulled."

"Sounds like a plan." Hux nodded.

"So promise me." Poe said forcefully.

"I promise." Hux said, assuringly.

"Thank you. So are you ready?" Poe asked breaking the tension.

"As I'll ever be."

"Okay we are going to a little church on the outskirts of town. We will all go together but you'll go in first everything is set up and ready to go. Oh do you have a ring?" Poe asked remembering, trying to think of where to get one at last minute.

"Yes I got that covered." Hux said putting his hand up to stop his worrying.

"What how?" Poe asked shocked.
