But Alice was the solution for all that mess, she has all the needed information to help the young adults, even some underage, the only couple who didn’t ask for her service were Bo and Lauren, and Alice was intrigued by that, so, along with Dana, she decided to talk to the girls, before lunch.

Alice: “guys, do you have any plan for the future?”

Bo: “like what…?”

Alice: “I don’t know, any plan…, look Dana and I married and we want to start a family, Bette and Tina did the same, indeed we did it together (Bo and Lauren raise their eyebrow)… I mean Bette with Tina and Dana with me, but at the same place and same time…, what about you girls?”

Lauren: “oh…, so, you are interested in knowing if we plan to marry?”

Alice: “well… yes of course I am…; you are my friends”

Laurel: “too late…, (showing her wedding ring) we already did, and we really didn’t have interference, my father is in the governing board in New L.A. and my mother doesn’t like Bo, she wanted to meet her parents or any family of her, before we marry, so we decided to keep the maximum secret…, we just marry on Friday, November 29th”

Alice: “wow…, well…, congratulations, well done…”

Bo: “Alice…, you are our friend and we would like to help everybody; you know, there are ways to allow people to marry even if they are underage”

Alice: “really…? How…?”

Bo: “compassion…”

Alice: “compassion…? What do you mean?”

Bo: “parents care deeply for their children, and if they knew they are dying they would do everything to fulfill their last wish”

Alice: “are you suggesting that some people should pretend they are dying?”

Bo: “not exactly pretend…, just, exaggerate”

Alice: “let me see if I understand…, let say, Helena wants to marry Dylan who is underage, and to be allowed to do it, if she is wounded in battlefield she could say that she feels she is dying and then, her wish would be granted, is that what you mean?”

Bo: “aha…, I read in some place that in those cases, even if the underage’s family doesn’t give permission, but the younger wants to marry to her or his almost dying girl or boyfriend, the authorities will allow the wedding, and they are exonerated from the waiting time, the house and the engagement ceremony”
