A/N: Hi! This is my first story on Alex Rider! I really hope you enjoy it:D

Disclaimer: I don't own Alex Rider

"Why do I have to do this, again?" Alex Rider complained for the millionth time.

"Because, Rupert and I may be getting married." Jack Starbright explained, also, for the millionth time. "As I told you, for the countless time, he proposed, and I said that I would marry him, as long as the two of you get along."

Jack Starbright sighed tiredly, as she picked up her handbag, getting ready to meet her boyfriend.

"I can't. I have homework." Alex mumbled, as he sprayed biscuit crumbs all over the floor.

Jack sighed, yet again. "Alex, I distinctly remember you telling me last night that you had no homework, when I asked you to do your school assignments! Stop making up excuses! Can't you see that this is important to me?"

Alex put down his chocolate chip biscuit on a nearby shelf, and ran his hand through his hair. "Fine. I'll go. But that doesn't mean that I'll be your stupid maid of honour!"

Jack finally smiled. "Great! I know you'll love him! He's a great guy! He.."

And she droned on and on. Alex didn't bother paying attention. As they walked out of the house, and locked up the door, Alex wished that he could bang the door shut, a several more times, just to get Jack to shut up about her 'darling Rupert'.

What kind of name was Rupert, anyway? Not that Alex had anything against the Ruperts of the World.. It was probably some fifty year old man, with a tangly beard that worked at some bank.

Alex had no problem with Jack dating the dude. It was just that he was very comfortable with having only one person around the house.

"..a great fellow! Did you know that he's in the military! He's so brave! He…"

She was STILL talking. What would make her shut up? Alex wondered.

"Oh, look! We're here!" Jack exclaimed brightly. Starbrightly! (Haha, sorry.. I couldn't help writing that. It's not even funny.. Anyway.. yeah..)

Alex rolled his eyes, as Jack pulled him in to the Restaurant.

He hardly paid attention to the man that they were walking towards.

"Alex?" Jack said, excitedly. "This is Rupert! Rupert, this is Alex!"

Alex slowly raised his eyes to look at Jack's to-be husband.

Instead of saying, "Hi" and holding out his hand politely, he stood absolutely still. His eyes grew very wide, and his jaw dropped.

"Wolf?"

"Cub?"

"Oh, you two know each other?" Was the last thing Alex heard, before he fainted away.
