The next afternoon Twyla went to see Allura.

"May we talk?"

"Of course." Allura let her into the room. She had just gotten out of the shower and the glistening water seemed to make Allura's features radiate. "Something I can help you with?"

Twyla went over and sat on the bed. Allura went back to the bathroom but left the door open.

"I don't know if Hunk has told anyone else but we plan to get married. I was wondering if you would help me plan the wedding?"

"Keith was telling me that Hunk was talking to him about it. I would love to." Allura came out of the bathroomdressed. She sat on the bed beside Twyla.

"I didn't think I was ready for this, for marriage. I never realized how much Hunk meant to me until I was gone. I didn't really understand love, not until last night. Oh Princess, it was wonderful."

"Your first time or..."

"Yes."

"My first time was with Keith. he's a very special guy. I was uneasy, nervious, you name it I was feeling it but Keith just had this way about him that made me feel so relaxed and that everything would be fine and it was."

Twyla hung her head a little.

"But it hurt though."

Allura hugged Twyla close,

"I know, it really hurt for me too. It gets better, trust me."

"I do. I went for a short walk this morning and that helped."

"Yeah. You'll be a little sore today but that's nothing to be alarmed about. Have a hot bath before you got to bed and you'll be fine in the morning."

"Thanks Princess."

"So, do you want to have a large wedding or a small one?"

"I don't know. I've always wanted a huge wedding but a small one would be just as nice."

"Inside or out?"

"Out. When I went for my walk this morning I noticed the ruins of a chapel on the outskirts of the woods. It seemed to be old but mystic. If it was safe and cleaned up a little, I would like to have it there."

"I'll get someone to look into that. I think I know the place you mean, but I'm not quite sure."

"If it's not too much trouble I would like a lot of flowers, roses and daffodils and dasies and pansies and callalillies."

Allura hugged Twyla again.

"Anything you want, love, anything you want."

At that moment, Hunk was again seeking out Keith. He desperately needed someone to talk to. Keith was once again tending the roses.

"You're all smiles today." Keith only glanced up for a second.

"Yeah, I guess I really am getting married."

"And.." Keith could tell there was more to Hunk's smile than just the fact that he was getting married.

"Well..." Hunk hesitated, he wanted to tell Keith but he wasn't sure if Twyla would approve of him telling everyone he came across of what they had done last night.

"Talk to me Hunk, you can trust me."

"Tywla and I made love last night." There it was out.'

Keith reached out and patted Hunk on the leg.

"I guess that proves that the two of you love each other."

"Yeah, I guess it does. Though..." Hunk hung his head, "I really hated hurting her."

Keith looked startled,

"What?"

"She'd never done it before." Hunk looked suddenly embarressed.

Keith smiled slowly.

"Don't worry. She'll be fine. It hurt Allura too the first time we made love."

Keith got up and clapped his hands down on Hunk's shoulders, there was a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye.

"Hunk, ole buddy, you worry too much. That'a part of life for a woman, she'll be fine. I can almost garentee she's telling Allura all about it right now. I'll even make a wager on it that they're making wedding plans right now. And I can almost bet it's going to make your life miserable from now to the wedding."

"I hope she don't want something huge."

"If she's talking to Allura I can almost garentee it's going to be a huge wedding."

"Help." Hunk whispered.

Keith couldn't help but laugh. This was going to be fun.

"Hey, look, if you need my help. I'm here."

"Thanks Keith. I really think I'm going to need it. I mean, where do I begin?"

"Well, for one thing, you need to relax. Allura and Twyla will take care of most of the planning, the only thing we do is sit back and keep our mouths shut. The most we're required to do is to see who to invite, get tuxes and decide who you want ot be the best man. Me, Lance and Pidge will plan your batchlor party."

Hunk opened his mouth to speak but Keith cut him off.

"And, yes, I'll understand if you decide not to chose me as your best man."

"I don't know, Keith, I think I need some quiet time."

"Why don't you go for a nice long walk and leave the planning to us?"

"Thanks."
