When Lester informed the team that the Minister would be hosting a gala in honour of the ARC, Becker rolled his eyes. Being stuffed in a tuxedo and making conversation with mindless bureaucrats was not his idea of fun.

Jess had dropped not-so-subtle hints for Becker to ask her as his date for weeks, but he wavered. He finally gathered his nerve the day before, casually asking Jess what time he should pick her up.

She smiled sheepishly. “I’m sorry, I already promised Haken I’d go with him.”

Becker tried to hide his disappointment. His window of opportunity had closed.

Maybe Becker won't wait so long next time. *poor boy*

Hopefully he'll seize the next opportunity. Thanks for reading!

Well, Becker, you should have moved a bit faster and not assume she'd still be waiting around for you! :)

Good one! Nice to see you doing the P100s again :)

Becker learned the hard way he can't keep a girl waiting forever.

Thanks! I'm dipping my toes back into writing.

Glad Jess didn't wait around for him! He won't make that mistake again.

Me too. Hopefully Becker will get another opportunity. Thanks for reading!

Oops! You'll have to be quicker next time, my boy! *g*

Something tells me he will not hesitate again. Thanks for reading!

Aww, too late, Becker.

He'd look great in a tux *happy thoughts*

Yes, that is a nice image. Thanks for reading!

Poor Becker. But really he didn't deserve to go with Jess after keeping her hanging around hoping and waiting.

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

Definitely. I don't think he'll be making that mistake again. Thanks for reading!

Becker was certainly foolish here. Thanks for reading!

Silly Becker! Maybe he'll learn his lesson for next time.

[dreamer-98.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he won't make that mistake again.

Thanks for reading!
