Gary was sitting on the couch, Lia had hadn't arrived home yet. When she got home they could decided on what they wanted
for dinner. However in the meantime his thoughts drifted to the wedding. There was still much to decide on. Anje was going to
sing "Lia's Song" After he talked her into it on the holodeck. She was also going to be the maid of honor. Little Tayalas was going
to be the flower girl. A smile coming to his face as he thought on it. Tayalas would steal the show. He had no doubt about it.

He wasn't sure if he was going to sing or not. Anje was all for him singing the song "Forever and Ever Amen." He however wasn't
so sure. Phoenix would preform the ceremony. He wasn't sure who else Lia would want as bridesmaids. He sighed and a sad smile
came to his face. He missed Liselle Qwyyn terribly. The former Chief Flight Control officer had been transferred off the Elysium with
a host of other officers by the Elysium's own personal nemesis, one Commander Garrett Lovejoy. He would give anything to get Liselle
back on the Elysium and especially to stand with him at the wedding. Right now Gallia was going to do that but he would love to have
Liselle as well. She had been in his partner in so many holoprogram adventures. Not to mention after a rocking time, they had made
up and were best friends again.

He sighed and laid his head back on the couch, as he did a song came to his mind. A song he thought summed up everything he and
Lia, indeed the whole crew had been through. He would ask Lia what she thought when she got home. For now though he was going to
listen to the song and the all so true lyrics. " Computer, play Times of Your Life by Paul Anka." Moments later the heartfelt lyrics filled
their quarters.

Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it's hard to find
The memories you left behind
Remember, do you remember?

The laughter and the tears
The shadows of misty yesteryears
The good times and the bad you've seen
And all the others in between
Remember, do you remember
The times of your life? (do you remember?)

Reach out for the joy and the sorrow
Put them away in your mind
The memories are time that you borrow
To spend when you get to tomorrow

Here comes the saddest part (comes the saddest part)
The seasons are passing one by one
So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life?

Gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life?

Of your life
Of your life
Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life?

Do you remember, baby
Do you remember the times of your life?


As he sat and listened, his thoughts drifted to Catlin. He had been shattered when she died. He never thought he would love gain. He had
put up walls to keep people away that is until one Lia Holmes entered his life and showed him how to love and laugh again. Now here he
was about to get married again to another amazing woman. What could be better?
