The reception was lovely. The food was to die for. Penny seemed ecstatic that Jacob’s seat was next to hers. She bragged to everyone about her boyfriend. She even regaled the pretend guests about what a catch he was.

Judy took the first dance with her father. He seemed a bit slow on his feet, but Judy hardly noticed. Then Don stepped in. He was so handsome, Judy swooned. They had been through so much and he had won her heart. She felt close to him again. The day had been perfect. She was so glad she’d decided on going forward with the wedding. The distant roar of the falls rumbled in her belly like something powerful making its way toward them. She looked up and wondered why they weren’t wet from all the mist the falls kicked up. Did they have some sort of shield on Minoxx-9? She wouldn’t want to get soaked through on her wedding day. It didn’t matter, it was all a hologram. She danced on with Don. Judy didn’t even notice when Mary took Jacob’s hand and led him out of the holopark. About thirty minutes later, her own mother put her hand on Judy’s shoulder.

“Come with me, Judy. I have something to show you.” Maureen smiled serenely down at her daughter.

“What, where?” Judy looked up at her mother, her eyebrows raised.

Maureen waved her hand toward the exit.

“I’m not leaving my own wedding.” Judy looked around. The band played a slow song, and the dance floor was filed with couples. She took Don’s hand. “Let’s dance.” Her husband stood up at her command.

“Not now, Don. You can dance with her later.” Maureen’s voice had a slight edge to it.

“Okay.” Don sat back down and stared into his glass of wine.

“Don?” Judy couldn’t believe he’d listened to her mother over her. “Get up and dance.”

“We can dance later, Judy.” Don looked over at her with a faint smile.

“Really?” Judy shook her head, her lips scrunched together in disgust. That was the same stupid smile he’d had on his face for weeks. She took a deep breath and tried to regain the closeness she’d felt not long before.

“Your husband needs a rest, Judy. This won’t take long. I’ll have you back in no time.” Maureen hated lying to her daughter, but there was nothing else to do. It was time.

“Okay, fine.” Judy stomped her foot a little. She stood, made her way to the changing area, and slipped out of her holographic gown and into her well-worn uniform. She then followed her mom out of the holopark. A wave of quiet hit her when the door closed behind them. “So, is this a surprise or something?”

“Yes, it is.” Maureen nodded, now dressed in her own uniform. She led the way through Wilderness’s labyrinth of passageways. “You know, I’m very proud of you, Judy. You’ve always been smart. Well, I mean, you’re a genius so …” Maureen’s laugh sounded nervous to her own ears. And why not? She felt like her insides were twisting up into a pretzel.
