Honeymoon

Chapter 1: The Marriage

Max stood at the altar with butterflies in hisstomach. This was the day that he and Roxanne had waited for the past nineteen years; this was their wedding. The church was completely full. Some were friends, or family. And others Max had never seen before. Who's the guy in the third to last row? They must be a friend of Roxanne's. That was view Max had of most of them. But as he scanned the faces in the crowd, he saw a few that surprised him.

His best friend's dad and long time neighbor, Pete was one of the few that made that list. Pete always seemed to have it out for him. Even as a kid, Pete, seemed to do more harm than good. That often made Max wonder why his dad was friends with that type of individual. Maybe it's because his dad didn't realize what Pete was doing? Or maybe, his dad realized it and refused to accept it as the truth? Or maybe, it was because his dad was so forgiving, that his dad forgave him every time Pete did him wrong? His eyes continued moving, Pete's wife, Peg, and teenage daughter, Pistol were sitting near Pete. Max didn't understand why Pete and Peg were still even married. They we're always fighting. No wonder why when PJ and him first met that he was afraid to do anything wrong. If Max had Pete for a father, he would be afraid of him too.

The next person Max saw was his dad. Max darted his eyes toward the floor. I was so mean to him. His eyes focused on one pigment of the pearl flooring. He narrowed his eyes as he began to think back to that night.


Max drove into the driveway. His heart was pounding. The speed increased the closer it got to being in the house. But compared to the way it was when he proposed to Roxanne, this was nothing. The way it felt earlier was close to a heart attack. He put the car in gear, removed the keys, and undid the seat belt.

He calmly got out of the car. What will his dad think when he tells him about their engagement, he wondered. Well, he wouldn't have to wait long. He reached the doorway. This was the moment of truth. When he opened this door, then he would be in the kitchen. And there he would tell his dad everything. There was no turning back.

He took a deep breath as he turned the handle. The door squealed as it slowly opened. His heart sped up. He could feel it beating against his lungs. He took deeper breaths and he walked into the kitchen. There his dad was, cooking over the stove. Max attempted to clear his throat to get his dads attention. But when he tried, nothing happened. Suddenly, Goofy turned around.

"Hey there Max. Dinner will be ready in a little while." said Goofy while holding the spatula in the air.

"Dad...I um..."

"What's the matter?" said a concerned Goofy.

"Well..you...see...I'..um..."

"Max? Are you hurt? Do I need to call the hospital."

Max closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Here it goes. With his eyes closed, he blurted out the words he so desperately was trying to say.

"Roxanne and I are getting married!"

There was a pause. Why isn't he saying anything.? Max slowly opened his eyes to make sure his dad hadn't passed out or anything. His dad just stared at him. It didn't even looked like he blinked. Oh God, please say something. Goofy broke his eye contact and looked away from Max. He rested his hands on the edge of the sink. His back facing Max. Suddenly, Goofy broke the silence.

"Is this a joke..."

"No...It's not."

Goofy didn't say anything. He just stayed in the place, without moving.

"Are you ok dad? You know, most of the time people say congratulations at this sort of thing."

"Wh...when is the wedding?" stuttered Goofy.

"Two weeks. We wanted to have it on our anniversary. "

"Max what are you thinking?" said Goofy sharply as he turned in Max's direction.

"What?"

Goofy threw his arms in the air."Getting married at the age of nineteen! You're still in college for crying out loud!" Goofy took a step back to regain is composure."Couldn't this have waited till you graduated?" Goofy shouted at his son.

Max balled up his fist. "Dad, come on. I'm in love!"

"Max, your throwing away your youth. these are the years of your life that you spend trying to make something of yourself! Not getting married to some…"

"Dad! It's my life damn it! I care for her and she cares for me. When I'm away at school, she's all I can think about. I miss her so much it hurts." Max turned away from his dad. "What's so wrong with us getting married now?"

"Max, you've got it all wrong! Your too hardheaded to understand what I'm trying to explain to you." Said Goofy as he calmed his voice.

"I see where I got it from," chuckled Max.

"Max, cut it out! You have been gone for a year at college! This is the first time I've seen you in months. That's hard enough as it is, now when you get married, how often will I see you then huh? Every year or two?"

"Dad, it's not like that.."

"You haven't even been calling to check up. And when I call you don't bother to pick up the phone! " Said Goofy with tears in his eyes.

"Dad...I've been busy."

"Yea, I know! With your college skating, your studies, your friends. And Now, your wife! I wouldn't be so mad if you were going to wait a few years. If you get married now, you won't be able to support yourself."

"I'll work it out, Dad. I'll be fine."

"Where are you going to live? They're not going to let your wife stay with you in your dorm."

"We're getting an apartment."

"Really? How do you expect to pay for that. Are you going to juggle a job too?"

"Roxanne's dad said he'll help cover the apartment rent."

"That's not the point Max! If you get married, go to college, spend time with friends, and skate, when do have time for yourself?"

"Dad, I can deal."

"Can you? Can you pay for insurance? When you get married, your taken off my insurance. Can you pay for yourself, and for her? "

"I called Roxanne's mom, she said she would cover it."

"What if the unforeseen happens?"

"What?"

"What if Roxanne were to get pregnant?"

"Dad!"

"Think about it, it could happen. If she got pregnant, what would you do?"

"She's not going to get pregnant. We've already talked about our birth control options."

"Those don't always work. And what if she had the baby? How would you support it? Would you be able to go to school, skate, and spend time with Roxanne, and be a father? You would have to give something up."

"I would find someone to help watch the kid to help Roxanne when I'm not there."

"What if Roxanne wasn't there to help?"

"What...what are you talking about?"

"What if Roxanne died? Or was in an accident and couldn't help you?"

"Dad, your over thinking things way too much. Just because that happened to mom doesn't mean it will happen to -."

"It could happen! I didn't think it would happen to me...but it did! "

"Dad, I can't plan my life around the chance of something bad happening. I could died when I drive down the street. I could die if I fell down the stairs. I can't live my life in fear."

"Stop treating me like the enemy! I'm your father; I'm here to help you. So stop undermining everything I say. I have a point, and you know it. You just don't want to admit it." Goofy said as he tried to calm down.

"Dad, stop treating me like a kid! I'm not your little boy anymore! And I'm not undermining you. I have it figured out. And you can't plan for every single thing...." said a disappointed Max. "Dad...I just wanted for you to be happy for me. I don't know the first thing about weddings or planning them. I just wanted for you to he-"

Goofy interrupts, "Help? Is that what your calling it these days? Coming to dear old dad when you need money or want to know how to do something? Sorry pal but since you don't want me to treat you like a kid then so be it! You're a big man getting married, so what do you need me for?"

"FORGET YOU! I DON'T NEED TO DEAL WITH THIS!" Max yelled as he headed towards the garage door. "Don't worry. I'll still send you an invite."

Max turned and slammed the door. He drove off in a rage. "Family,' Max mumbled, "who needs them anyway? I've got Roxanne and that's all the family I need.."


That was the last time he had spoken to his dad. He had sent him the invite as promised. Max had called and left a message on the answer machine the day before. He told him how sorry he was about the argument. But his dad never called him back. Max made eye contact with his dad. Goofy smiled at Max. I hope that means he's not still raging mad at me.

Max continued to look through the faces and saw a two faces that he never had expected to see: Bradley Uppercrust III and Chad. He had met Bradley the year before, they certainly didn't hit it off. Brad tried killing him to win the Ex-games. To forget him, you would have to be pretty damn stupid. Now, for Chad, he was a jock that always picked on Max and his friends in high school. But that seems like such a long time ago.

Reality set back in. This is Max and Roxanne's wedding. It's hard to imagine that he had only been standing at the altar for 2 minutes. To Max, it felt like a life time. He need to focus on the task at hand. The traditional wedding music was being played on the piano. How long had it been playing? He didn't know.

Max's best man, and best friend, PJ, walked down the aisle. He wobbled while he walked. It's hard to image PJ as a decent skater. You would think he would lose is balance easily. PJ gave Max a smile as he took his place next to him.

"Don't choke, man" whispered PJ sarcastically.

"Thanks, Peej."

Pj was about to respond, but right then the doors of the chapel opened; and there stood the flower girl. Roxanne's cousin was the flower girl. But Max couldn't seem to remember her name. He had always imaged that PJ's little sister, Pistol, would have been the flower girl at his wedding, but she was around 13 now. She was a little too old to do it know. The young flower girl walked in and started to walk forward while throwing the flower petals toward the floor. Shortly after the girl's entrance, Roxanne appeared in a beautiful wedding dress.

It was long and dragging the floor. It was made of silk. Her hair was up in a bun with part of her red bangs hanging down. And covering her face was a white vale. Max closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he reopened his eyes, the she was now only a few feet from him. Roxanne took her place beside of her husband to be. The preacher came forward to give the ceremony.

"We are gathered here today to honor the marriage of Maximilian Goof and Roxanne Martin. Roxanne do you accept Max to be your lawful husband to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health for as long as we both shall live?"

"I do."

"And Max, do you accept, Roxanne Martin, to be your lawful wife to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health for as long as we both shall live?"

"I do"

"If anyone has any reason for these two to not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace."

The room was silent, and no one spoke.

"Max and Roxanne, with the power invested in me. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Max and Roxanne embrace each other and share a romantic kiss.


That's it for chapter 1; what did you think? I hope that you enjoyed it, but if you didn't I still want to think you for reading this. Like I said before the story is rated for later chapters because it has sexual content, and maybe some violence. I hope that my next chapters are better than this thdrnilescrane and SunRise19, thanks for the reviews. And drnilescrane I will try to put that "link" from where Goofy is coming from in mind. So I hope you like this chapter as well. It's still rated for later chapters. Reviews are greatly appreciated.
