Melody disappeared from the screen and Caroline turned back to Ki the bed sheet wrapped round her. "So ….." she said …"I cannot remember past deciding to go for a swim after the cocktail bar," she smiled. "Not that the outcome wasn't pleasant. I mean I have brief flashes …. Yous spoke some Japanese," she said after a moment smiling slowly. "Oh its coming back …."

Michael smiled, it was not often that he had a Sake binge like he did last night. But he did rather enjoy what happened. That is until he tried to move and his head was swimming. "Indeed it was quite the night, one that I am sure we needed after all that had happened. I find that my home language is the most romantic." He added with a smirk.

"There is certainly an element of exotic about it," Caroline grinned. "Of course I don't really know what you were saying. Perhaps you should enlighten me."

She got off the bed and walked to where her clothes were stored both chuckling and wondering what his response would be. Pulling out two dresses she looked them over trying to decide if either were suitable for a last minute wedding as she waited.

"Just whispering sweet nothings in your ear my dear. Telling you that your beauty is more powerful than a Japanese orchid." Michael began to don his dress uniform. He was not a man for suits, and felt that the uniform would be the best for a last minute wedding.

"Oh you charmer," Caroline grinned. "Which one?" she asked holding out a purple floaty long dress or a mid length floral number.

"Purple..." It was his favorite color and the color of his favorite orchids. It had the added benefit of hugging her figure.

She placed the one not chosen back, grabbed underwear and walked over to the bathroom ready to jump the sonic shower. She stopped on route to place a kiss on his face before she went in. "I won't be long. If you want to grab some coffee or something. The view from outside is nice. I'll come join you once I'm dressed,"

Michael grabbed a quick cup of coffee. It seemed that the couple held true to the old saying that women took a lot longer than men to get ready for anything. He took his coffee out on the balcony and marveled at the view. His thoughts turned to how lucky his life seemed to have turned in the recent months. A far cry from what he was when he first joined the Merlin's crew.

True to her word she emerged a few minutes later tousling her hair up into a knot. "Will I do?" she asked.

"You will more than do..." Michael said as he pulled her into him by the waist and kissed her deeply. "I think we will be the best looking couple there. If I do say so myself."

"Well the Captains wedding. We do have to make an effort. I do hope your planning on dancing at this celebration," Caroline said with a twinkle in her eye.

Dancing, he knew that would come up. It was the one thing that he did not want to come up. However, Michael had taken lessons in preparation of just this eventuality. "We can dance if you wish it my dear. Although I must confess that I am not much of a dancer. In fact I may actually have two left feet."

Caroline grinned pulling him closer her arms snaped round his neck. "So what your saying is I might be okay for a quick shuffle. I'll take what I can get. We can always work on those left feet later.

Well," she looked over at the time display. "We better get a shuffle on now."

"Quite so..." Michael said with a smile and motioned toward the door.
