And, in fairness, the universe did blow up, open

"Now would be a good time to set your alarm to pick me up from jail in the morning."

...was the last thing that Levi remembered before waking up in his boxers on the bed of a strange hotel room. He had set an alarm, too - if the Star Wars cantina music blaring in his pocket was any indication - but, as in everything, Riley was the most unreliable jackass ever.

Shoving his hands in his pockets a little more forcefully than necessary, Levi worked his cell phone out of his pocket and shut off the alarm. The noise stopped, but it took a moment for the backlit "BAIL RILEY OUT - 9PM" to fade. He glared at it, then brought up his friend's facebook page on his phone and showed it to the receptionist behind the counter.

"His name is Riley Miller - or, he might've told you that his name was Captain Troy Handsome of International Rescue - it's this," Levi shook his head. "Thing he does."

"I'm sorry, son." said the receptionist, looking at him with pity. "We don't have Captain Handsome. I'd remember."

Levi gave her a feeble smile. "Thanks anyway."

He turned away and stuffed the phone back in his pocket. He pulled out another small object - a small, wadded-up pink post-it note. He smoothed it out and glared at it, as though by sheer will alone he could deliver the glare to the note's originator.

YOU'LL THANK ME EVENTUALLY - R

That and his boxers were the only things he'd been wearing that morning. On the beside table, with another pink post-it note on it (that said "Happy Birthday!) was The Vow welcome packet. He'd searched everywhere - Riley was gone, and the car was gone. The only things he had left were the clothes currently on his back, his wallet, his cell phone, and a packet of papers that said, in one week, that he'd be getting a wife.

Levi stumbled out of the police department, dropping down on a bench outside and letting his head fall into his hands.

Riley was so dead.

Amy was glad she had the man of her dreams. Right now he needed to go take care of a few things. She didn't want to be in the way, so she told him she was going for a walk.

Not sure how long it would take for him to finish his business. She had a lot to think about. The dress, how it was going to go. This was a good day for her right now. If she wanted anything she could get anything she wanted. This was the best move she had every made. If she didn't make the move when she did them she wouldn't have met Julian again.

She turned the corner, it was then she saw a young man who sat on the bench in front of the police department. He had his head in his hands. It seemed to her like he was in a bit of trouble. In the mood she was in right now she didn't mind helping a complete stranger out. She made her way over to the bench.
"Excuse me sir, are you okay?" Amy asked. She hoped he was okay.

"Oh, it's perfect! Just wonderful, actually, because somehow, I've gone from college student to happily betrothed in less than twelve hours, and I can't remember what happened at all, probably because Riley had me drinking moonshine in a milk carton from a guy named...Tomohawk, or something, last night."

Levi took a deep breath. And then another. And then he seemed to realize that he'd just yelled at a complete stranger, all the while shouting to the world about what an idiot he was.

His face flooded deep red, and he shook himself a little. "Sorry," he held out his hands. "Oh god, I am so sorry. It's been...really a very bad day. I didn't mean to...I don't usually...scream like an old woman. What was your name again? I feel like I should really...buy you...I don't know. Something. Coffee or tea or something. To make up. For the yelling."

Could the ground swallow him up, please? He just needed it to open up a little crack so he could drop right into the core of the Earth. It would be so much better than whatever this day was.

"All right, well...I'm going to just...go, now that I've made an idiot of myself."

Wow this young man who sat in front of her was having a bad day. With the venting he just did, she figured he was a college student. As for right now was in The Vow to get married, of course he was going to be married soon. It was interesting how different people react to the news of they will be getting marry soon. Amy had a feeling the young man in front over her had a little to much to drink last night. Amy didn't mind, she knew people needed to vent. She just let him vent. She knew she didn't know him, but he looked like he needed to vent, if his friend wasn't here for him to vent, then she was the next best thing. Any hadn't really vented to any one before. The only person who she vent around was Julian.

She remembered how she had vented to him about how her tutors were pushing her far beyond what she thought she could achieved. In the end she was better for sticking it out and showing her tutored she could go far beyond what they had planned for her.
"Don't worry about it. You just needed to vent. Are you feeling better now? My name is Amy Scott soon to be Amy Simmons. Maybe we can get something to drink. If you need to vent some more let me know. You're not an idiot."

Amy told him. Maybe they would be friends. She like to have friends, she didn't have many. She was glad that she had her best friend as a friend. She was still happy. The Vow had made her dream come true. She was marrying the man of her dreams. Nothing was going to ruin it for her. No omen was going to ruin it for her either.
