Chief Companion Chronicles (CCC)

Summary:

Jack
It's a profound honor to have been chosen as your best man.
Thank you, Dr. Langdon
Franklin, if I may.


Frank
Huh

Notes:

don't be mad. i’m crack fic-ing way too close to the sun now…

but pls, indulge me just a little longer (not rly ready to say goodbye to this yet. and well, i'm a huge trilogy believer, so this is the last hurrah)

+ no need to check out the earlier parts of the series, but it does explain the way... they talk... and yep. though suspension of disbelief works too!
+ a bit of dark humor plz

Chapter 1: The Best Man

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Samira
LMFAO IKR?? its a whole movie
Yolanda
Never seen it, Dr. Robby
Heather

Why is it such a big deal?
Robby
It says who is ur ER stuationship
They said it has questions and OUR names and pictures in it
?
What the hell
Yolanda
Lol
Robby
Whats a situationship
Samira
like dating! but make it emotionally confusing without the labels
Heather
Ah so it’s like one of those magazine quizzes
Pick A, B, or C, and cry at the result
Samira
SOMEONE SEND IT CLEARER

Not to sound so clueless but
Why him
Princess
IJBOL

Yolanda
Oh wow
You had roles?
Princess
of course, we’re not amateurs💁‍♀️
Dr. Mckay’s the insider. Perlah’s lookout (a bad one). I did the questioning
we had already disposed of those four exclusive copies
but apparently, one wasn't
@cassie ehem
Perlah
You're the one who basically confessed to everything!
Princess
past is past girl move on that's minutes ago
Cassie
come on, thats not MY copy
Princess
before you all get all moral about it
we didnt even get to make that many patients take it
and we did this on breaks
?
What do u mean by that
Patients took that quiz?
Princess
they knew it was a JOKE
we also chose the ones who have chill vibes
dw we're picky
Perlah
For legal reasons
All the information written in that quiz has nothing to do with me
Princess
coward❗❗
Heather
This is sounding less like a harmless fun quiz and more like a crime
Robby
Where r the questions
Mateo

Fri, May 15 at 10:10 PM
Mateo
U all ready?
Mateo
Heres the first page

best man - gc

Robby added you to this conversation
Robby added Jack to this conversation
Robby added John to this conversation
Sun, May 17 at 10:10 PM
Robby
Whats this I hear from Jack that u chose him as ur best man?
@Feank
?
What
Jack
Whoops sorry, Dr. L
I mean Dr. Langdon
I thought Dr. R knew
Robby
Stop calling us that
And to think i had to hear all of this from Dr. A of all people
U chose him? Over me?
Jack
It's a profound honor to have been chosen as your best man.
Thank you, Dr. Langdon
Franklin, if I may.
?
Huh
Nope
Jack
Francis? Francisco?
Franck?
Frangelico
?
Frank's just fine, Dr. Abbot
Jack
Oh, come on. We're way past that now!
Just call me Best Man Jack now 👍
John
Yo why am I in this chat
Robby
Apparently youre backup best man if Jack said no
John
Woah
Best news I've heard all week
I humbly accept
When is the wedding
?
NOPE
No duties. No best man. This is like theoretical wedding prep
?
I just asked Dr. Abbot to be my witness IF it ever happens
To be present during the ceremony
Robby
Y them?
What do they hav that I dont?
?
Honestly?
A night shift and zero morning commitments
John
Hey
What a low bar
But true I respect it 😼
Robby
I couldve taken PTO
?
Not even a real WEDDING YET
I'm still preparing for the proposal
I'm just trying to be ready in case my future wife suddenly yells "Let's get married right now!"
Robby
And Y would Mel yell that
?
JUST IN CASE
Jack
Healthy mindset. Proud of you, Frankie boy 👍
?
FRANK
Robby
Look U two arent even close
Jack
We can easily fix that
We're on a 1st name basis now.
Robby
And let me guess
Mel picked her sister as maid of honor
?
Obviously
As her WITNESS
Robby
Y? Youre not having a church wedding?
?
Well we kind of talked about it, Mel and I just want it really private. No big fuss
She's not into the whole walk-down-the-aisle thing
Jack
Understandable.
?
But she said she might be open to it someday
Her presence alone would be enough anyway
Why'd you ask?
Robby
I dont know
I just had this vision of walking u down the aisle
John
Oh
Damn
that's kinda sweet
?
That's interesting
And unexpected
I kind of teared up a little
Jack
@Robby You sweet talker you
You once told me your dream was walking Dr. Mohan down the aisle.
?
Nah...
Now you're just trying to walk everyone down the aisle
John
Wow
He's just basically 🧚Aisle Fairy🧚 at this point
Kinda greedy
?
Hold up Dr. Shen
Don't call him greedy
But yeah you're kinda greedy @Robby
John
With all due respect
He's out here collecting aisle walks like
"You get an aisle walk! 🫵 You get an aisle walk too! 👆 Hey, you! 👉 Want an aisle walk?"
Sun, May 17 at 10:20 PM
Robby
IJBOL
Robby
I mean if Mel wants me to walk her down the aisle too
If Im available
And if she insists
Sure
?
Wowwwwww
Sun, May 17 at 10:22 PM
John
Wait
Just to clarify, theres no actual wedding planned?
No date? No wedding dress? No bouquet?
?
YES
John
Oh ok
I say let the two fight. Behind the hospital. 7 AM. No weapons 🙅🚫
Winner gets the title
Deal?
Jack
Deal
Robby
?
?
NO DEAL!
Sun, May 17 at 10:26 PM
Robby
U will regret this Frank
U will all regret this
John
Oh man
Come on. Me too?
I dont like having regrets 😞
Jack
Frankie will regret what?
Having a loyal, charming, punctual best man?
?
Oh wow
This must be hell
Jack
No no, it’s not. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.
It’s the best man’s duty to keep the groom safe from harm
Robby
We all know u will
So what are u gonna say when they ask u to give the best man’s speech?
Whats Frank's favorite food?
Do u even know his best time on the track? What about in a marathon?
Jack
Wait
Is this graded
Sun, May 17 at 10:29 PM
?
Ah
I knew I shouldve just asked my mom
Even my ex-wife would’ve reacted more normally than… whatever this was

Oh come on
Is that the powerpoint Santos was working on earlier
Robby
Yeah did it in 5 mins
She practically jumped out of her chair when I asked who is ready to piss off Dr Langdon
?
Why am I not surprised

John
So
Is the fight happening today
I think I'll be late
?
NO FIGHT HAPPENING, DR. SHEN
John
Ok tomorrow then?
I'll sleep for now
?
No fight happening EVER
John
I think you say no a lot, Dr. Langdon
What happened to yes
?
Yes and I are taking a break
It needed space
I needed quiet
John
Fine you're funny
Hope you have a quiet shift
?
Excuse me????
Tue, May 19 at 8:11 AM
Robby
With what Ive sent, Frank's already regretting it anyway
Im the best best man
?
No best man. No wedding
Robby
Oh sorry
Didnt know u guys broke up
U were just flirting earlier
?
Jesus
We're still TOGETHER
Just meant we're not getting married yet
?
Cant do this again
I think we're running in circles
Tue, May 19 at 9:20 PM
Jack
Not backing down without a fight.
I did my powerpoint all by myself, by the way
Robby
Yeah, right
Show it
If its in black & beige, thats Samira's template
Jack
Best template ever, FYI.
Robby
Calm down
Its just a template
?
Come onnn
Stop bothering those poor overworked souls
Jack
I only borrowed it in exchange for a research article
And I did the typing 👍

Christ
You really really don't have to, Dr Shen
Not necessary at all
John
Too late
Dont worry I promise I made it myself
