While planning the wedding everyone told them to relax, some things can go wrong, it’s normal. Between the two of them they both were psychologically ready SOMETHING might happen, yet when half of Skylar's father figure was found in the ICU the night before and a few others of the wedding party were having issues, there was totally panic! There ended up having no ceremony rehearsal, practicing and understanding the plan of the big day, when Lana text messaged Tinker about his whereabouts the day of, there was no reply. Everything that seemed that it could go wrong, did, on the way up to Paleto, Skylar found herself stranded on the highway with her truck broken down. There was no word from Nettie would be asked, and confirmed multiple times that she'd be there for the wedding as a bridesmaid.

From Skylar's view it seemed that she was relieved and thankful, thought she did joke to her food caterers Esmeray Morteza to run away with her. Even after the actual ceremony, Skylar came to realized that she'd had never reached back out the DJ that she'd asked MC the wedding, in where with quick-thinking Lana asked Quimbley Hayabusa to step in. The feeling that the initial drama and anxiety bomb might have magnified the overall happiness of the day!

======The Block's Collateral Damage======

After the bench trail, the food truck was released back to Skylar and she attempted to get back in the swing of things and attempted to reopen the Little Teapot and work a bit where within a few hours of the bench trial for Busta Block, the one and only Mike Block chose to hold up the Little Teapot as well and held Skylar at gunpoint, taking her food truck. Later on the Skylar was told that he was found selling out of her food truck in the Southside.

======Sacrifice Tomorrow======
Skylar, recognizing the seriousness of Heidi's medical condition, handed her the medical report and firmly instructed her to go through it carefully and to ask if she had any questions. Heidi later texted Skylar, expressing her confusion about the medical jargon and the implications outlined in the report. Understanding the urgency, Skylar took the time to clarify the details for Heidi.
Skylar broke down the complex medical terms into simpler language, highlighting the critical areas that required immediate attention. She emphasized to Heidi that her situation was dire and required significant lifestyle changes to ensure her survival. Skylar made it clear that if Heidi continued on her current path, she was at severe risk of fatal consequences. The seriousness of Heidi’s condition meant that if she were to get shot again soon or continued using drugs, it could be catastrophic.
Skylar outlined the steps Heidi needed to take to address her health issues comprehensively. She strongly recommended that Heidi see a cardiologist to deal with her heart problems, a neurologist for her neurological concerns, and a psychiatrist to address her mental health and substance abuse issues. Skylar stressed that these actions were not merely suggestions but necessary steps to safeguard Heidi's life.
Skylar's message was direct and uncompromising, reflecting the gravity of the situation. She conveyed that this was not just about improving Heidi’s health but about keeping her alive. Skylar’s firm stance underscored the urgency of taking immediate action.
Despite the harsh reality, Skylar also offered her support, assuring Heidi that she would be there for her. She made it clear that if Heidi needed help finding the right doctors or someone to talk to, she could reach out to her at any time. This combination of stern advice and supportive reassurance aimed to motivate Heidi to take her health seriously and make the necessary changes to ensure her survival.
However, Skylar also expressed her inner conflict about their friendship. She questioned whether she could continue to be friends with or care for someone who was so willing to throw away her life at a moment’s notice. This added a layer of emotional complexity to the situation, as Skylar’s deep concern for Heidi was tempered by her frustration and disappointment in Heidi’s apparent disregard for her own well-being. Skylar hoped that by conveying both the urgency of the situation and her own emotional boundaries, she could inspire Heidi to take the necessary steps to protect her life and health.

======Start of Something New======
Skylar's journey through the police academy was nothing short of impressive. She approached each challenge with determination, quickly becoming one of the standout cadets. Her sharp instincts, honed through years of diverse work experiences and her time as a paramedic, added a unique edge to her training. Lana, who took an active role in assisting the academy's trainers, watched with pride as her wife excelled.
Skylar's medical background subtly contributed to her success at the academy. Her ability to remain calm under pressure and her quick thinking, traits developed through countless emergency situations as a paramedic, proved valuable. She applied her knowledge of first aid and emergency response to various scenarios, impressing both her instructors and peers.
Lana saw firsthand how Skylar's passion reignited, her eyes gleaming with excitement and purpose. Skylar's quick thinking and professionalism during a simulated chaotic chase were particularly noteworthy, as was her ability to predict parallels and scenarios with uncanny accuracy. Even in the midst of intense training, Skylar's playful side emerged, especially when she found moments to flirt with Lana.
At the end of the last academy day, after an especially successful session at the academy, Skylar returned home after doing some auxiliary hours to find a letter waiting for her. Knowing that Lana didn't usually write letters made this one particularly special.
----Skylar,
Proud doesn't really begin to describe how I feel, so I'll try to say it in more words than one. You are flourishing. From your court clerkship to passing through the academy with flying colors, and so much more... you're truly amazing me. I see the passion in your eyes every day and I see your brilliant mind dancing and having fun again, where a few short weeks ago you felt stagnant. It makes me happy to see you this way. It warms my heart.
When I tell you I'm proud of what you did in the academy just today, I mean it. So many moments you shined and left me grinning, thinking, "that's my wife." Like when you noticed Kylie was pointing a weapon and shot her down, when you predicted so many parallels, the way you carried yourself with professionalism and grace through a chaotic chase, and the way you stayed true to who you are and flirted with me on the side through it all. <3
You're simply amazing, Skylar. You prove that to me every day. I'm proud of you. I said when we got married that I love you more every day, and that has rung true more than anything in my life. I love you so much, and I love you more every day. Be proud of who you are and everything you've achieved, love. I'm sure somewhere up above, your aunt is looking down at you, alongside me, and thinking what an amazing person you are.
With all the love in the universe,
Lana xo
----Skylar held the letter close, her heart swelling with emotion. Lana's words resonated deeply, reaffirming her belief that her late aunt and her wife would indeed be proud of her. She felt a renewed sense of purpose and gratitude, ready to continue her journey with the unwavering support of her loving wife.
