To say JoJo was confused was an understatement. One moment she was falling asleep against Ben's shoulder in the warm up room, the next he's kneeling in front of her covered in soot and dirt.
" Where are we?" JoJo looked at the room around her.
" Base." Ben gave her an odd look. She glanced down at his hand, then her own.
" Where's your ring? Where's mine?" She asked.
" What ring?" Ben questioned.
" Our wedding rings." JoJo stated.
" Jo, you must've really hit your head." Josh laughed from across the room. When did he get there?
" What are you talking about?" JoJo wrinkled her nose.
" Our last mission, you hit your head pretty hard." Bexley walked into the room. Josh and Bexley had their rings.
" I'm...confused." JoJo looked at them.
" JoJo! You're awake!" Penny raced into the room.
" I am." JoJo took comfort in Penny acting the same.
" Hey babe, where are the sleeping bags?" An all too familiar voice called.
" The storage room." Ben replied.
" I checked there." Maya strolled into the room.
" Oh, hell no!" JoJo stood.
" You good, Jo?" Bexley cocked an eyebrow.
" I..." JoJo looked between Ben and Maya.
" I think you need some more sleep." Penny pushed her back onto the cot.
" Yeah, I guess." JoJo muttered.
She tried to sleep, hoping that when she woke everything would be normal again. It wasn't.
oOOo
The next time she opened her eyes, Natalie was leaning over her.
" Oh good, you're alive." She smiled. JoJo was immediately launched into tears.
" Oh boy, what just happened?" Natalie's looked at her in concern.
" I'm so confused. The last thing I remember is falling asleep next to Ben in the warm up room. And we were married." JoJo sobbed. Natalie let out a sigh.
" I'd prefer you to Maya." Natalie muttered.
" What?" JoJo's head snapped up.
" Maya's not exactly the kindest person." Natalie shrugged.
" I know that." JoJo nodded. Natalie let out a laugh.
" Just calm down, everything should come back to you eventually." Natalie promised, taking her leave. JoJo sat there for a few minutes, trying to collect herself. After a moment, she made her way out of the room and down the hall.
" I mean, she's officially lost it." Maya's voice came from inside a room. JoJo peered inside the room to see Ben, Maya, Natalie, and some of the Toursies standing around a round table.
" She thought we were married." Ben muttered.
" I know, how crazy is she." Maya laughed cruelly.
" Hey now-" Josh warned.
" I do recall her being knocked unconscious trying to protect you." Ben stated.
" Crappy job she did." Maya muttered.
" I told you that somebody was coming at you, not her fault you didn't listen." Michael Dameski snapped.
" Benny bear." Maya pouted at him. Ben gave her a hard stare.
