Or Forever Hold Your Peace
Danny watched Kendall walk down the aisle to him. They held hands and turned to the preacher.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here to day to bring Kendall Mariah Peterson and Daniel Michael Dadalgo together in holy matrimony. If anyone has any reason for these two to be together, speak now or forever hold your peace."
"Danny, wait!" Alyssa ran down the aisle in a torn blouse and skirt and to his side. Danny held her up by the shoulders and she placed her hands on his chest to stand steadily. "Danny, don't do this, please? Danny, you have a whole life ahead of you... are you sure about this?"
Danny looked over to Kendall and then down back at Alyssa and kissed Alyssa passionately on the lips slowly, holding her close to him. She pressed back right before he parted from her. "You're right, Alyssa. I'm not ready for this."
She smiled at him and he scooped her up in his arms.
"I love you, Alyssa," he whispered to her.
"I love you too, Danny," she whispered back.
"Daniel Michael Dadalgo!" Kendall shouted, throwing her bouquet at him. He ducked.
"Alyssa, stop!" Taylor yelled, holding up a torch. Cole and Max were right behind her.
"Alyssa, what'd you do?" Danny asked.
"Well... they had me tied to a tree and were going to burn me," Alyssa shrugged at Danny's question. "What was I supposed to do?"
"Good point," he said. "Hey, Tay-Tay!"
"Don't call me that!" Taylor snapped.
Danny kissed Alyssa, she kissed back, giggling.
"Awwww!" the other three Wild Force Rangers said.
Max took the torch and walked past the baptismal fount, throwing the torn in and whistled as he walked back to where his friends were.
"I love you so much, Alyssa Jezebel Enrile," Danny said later that night as they walked around the lake on Animaria, holding hands.
"I love you so much too, Daniel Michael Dadalgo," Alyssa giggled. Danny let go of Alyssa's hand, she looked at him, thinking, "What did I do wrong know? Great job, Enrile!" She watched him pull off his ruby wedding ring. She gasped softly, "Oh god."
"Alyssa, will you take this?" Danny asked, kneeling before her and taking her hand. Alyssa started to cry, her whole body trembling. "Alys'?"
"I will," Alyssa cried.
"This is a promise ring. I promise to always love you by caring for you everyday of our lives, till death do us part," Danny said, slipping the ring on her right ring finger. She pulled him up onto his feet, wanting to rip his clothes off and have her way with him, but only just kissed him. He kissed back, wrapping his arms around her.
"Awww," Cole and Taylor said, watching it from the water fountain.
"Do they ever get sick of this?" Mirrick asked Max. Max shrugged in reply.
"I think they just start . . ." Max was interrupted by soft snoring. The two rangers looked under the table. Princess Shayla was asleep, softly snoring. "Now that's cute." Mirrick picked her up and put her on a bed, kissing her lips softly.
"'Night, Princess," Mirrick whispered.
