~oOo McLain's Secret Admier Part 4: A Perfect Wedding oOo~
A blue-haired ghostly rocker looks at herself in front of the mirror. Eyes set on determination, but with little hints of nervousness and anxiety. Ember wasn't usually one to be afraid. Her first kiss sure wasn't scary. First concert was so so. Hell, even waking up and learning that you're a ghost didn't deter her that much. No, Ember McLain fears nothing, whether they be lousy ghost hunters, Walker's suckish prison, the intimidating Ghost King Pariah Dark, or even the ever annoying Klemper. Whatever thing they'll throw at her, she'll rise above through the ashes like a reborn phoenix. But this time...
This time was different.
"Okay, Ember. This is it. No backing out of this one. This is your day. Everyone's eyes are on you."
Closing them, she inhales a deep breath, and then exhales it through her mouth to calm down her building nerves. It was a breathing technique she'd always do right before any of her concerts, though performing on stage doesn't actually scare her. She only does that out of reflex rather than necessity.
After a few seconds of silence, a knock on a door jolts her back to reality. She turns back around to look at the person coming in. It was none other than her ever loyal best friend, Kitty. She wore a beautiful purple strap dress that crisscrosses at the back with matching stiletto heels. Instead of her usual fly away hairstyle, she had it in an up do fashion that was slightly leaning to the right side.
The green-haired ghost crosses her arms and looks at Ember with a wide grin and glittering sharp eyes. "Wow, girlfriend. You really look hawt and gorgeous in that dress. Guys are sooo gonna drool over and worship you."
Ember smirks. "Yeah well, too bad. She's already taken. Her wedding starts in less than an hour."
"And I bet that the groom's gonna be so in love all over again when you walk down that aisle."
Ember giggles, and Kitty couldn't help but smile. When Ember had started dating Danny, she noticed how her girlfriend slowly changed for the better. Ember still kept her punk rock image. But when it was only them or with Danny, she would open up and break away from the mask she wore ever since she became a ghost. It was like seeing her back again when they were human.
Kitty's eyes soften. "I'm so happy for you, Em."
Ember looks at her, and then smiles. "Me too." She then makes her way toward her best friend and gives her a thankful hug. "Without you, I think I would never have gotten together with the dipstick. You're the best friend I could ever hope for. Thanks, Kitty."
She reciprocates the hug, a wide smile painting her lips. "You're welcome, Ember."
After the two break apart, Kitty helps her best friend in any way she can, fussing over her dress, hair, and make-up.
Ember lets out an exasperated sigh. "Kitty, I'm fine. I look gorgeous and hot remember."
She holds up her hands in defeat. "Okay, okay. I was just making sure that everything's perfect."
"Kitty, if there is one thing I'm certain about is that just by being married to my baby pop will make this a perfect wedding."
Grinning at her words, Kitty's eyes gleams with mischief. "Ooooh, I get it now. Meow."
Ember tilts her head to the side. "Huh?"
Kitty wiggles her eyebrows. "Marrying Danny has its benefits—like you know—getting to that part."
"That part?"
"Yes, that part."
"I'm sorry. Can you repeat that again? My brain is too stupid to pick up what you're trying to say," she says sarcastically.
Kitty pouts. "Isn't it obvious?"
"Not really," she says dryly.
Kitty scoffs and rolls her eyes. She then puts both her hands on her hips. "Okay, I'll just ask you this question. What do couples after they get married?
Ember crosses her arms. "Well, there will be a wedding reception. And after that, Danny and I will..." Her eyes widen as realization sinks in. A blush creeps up from her neck to her pale cheeks and ears as she think of what the two of them would do in b—.
A sly smile slowly forms on Ember's lips. And just by seeing her reaction, Kitty lets out a squeal, hugging the ghost rocker with all her might. "I'm so very, very, very happy for you, Em!"
"Agh, Kitty. Y-You're crushing m-me."
The biker ghost quickly pulls away. "Oh, sorry. Just got super excited at the prospect of being an aunt to you and Danny's children."
Ember was taken aback by her statement. "Whoa, isn't it a little too early for us to be thinking about that?"
"Oh, right. We need to get you and Danny married first, before making mini-yous and mini-hims."
Ember frowns.
Kitty holds up her hands. "Okay, okay. Too early." She then grins evilly. "Buuuut, I can tell how you really, really want Danny. Don't lie to me." She cuts Ember off before she could deny it. "Anyways, with the two of you hounding on each other and having the time of your lives, afterlives, whatever, it would be impossible not to accidentally have a—you know—special surprise, if you know what I'm talking about." She wiggles her eyebrows.
Ember blushes madly, and Kitty laughs in a fit of giggles. The ghost rocker lets out a growl. "If you weren't my maid of honor right now, I wouldn't hesitate to torch and burn you until you turn into a crispy pile of ghost meat that I'll be presenting to the Lunch Lady as a token of my goodwill."
Despite the venom of her voice and words, Ember's threat wasn't taken seriously as Kitty continues her laugh, which pisses the ghost rocker more. But soon, her fit of giggles gradually diminishes.
Ember huffs and crosses her arms. Kitty holds up her hands. "Okay, okay, stop it. Gotcha" She then gives her a smile. "Anyways, are you ready?"
"Of course," she says as if it were obvious. "Who do you think I am?"
Turning around and opening the door, Kitty looks back and grins like a sly kitty-kat. "You're the soon to be Mrs. Fenton."
She winks at the ghost rocker, before exiting the room and leaving Ember to blush again for the third time. After about a moment, Ember snaps out of it and walks back to the table and mirror. She looks at herself one last time, checking if everything's alright, and then picks up the bouquet of white roses sitting at the table, before leaving the room.
Once outside, Ember sees that the procession was starting with Mr. and Mrs. Fenton walking in. After a while, they were followed by her bridesmaids, and then it was her maid of honor.
"Okay, Ember. This is it." Taking a deep breath, she makes her way toward the door, readying herself as she waits for the wedding music to begin.
It seemed like an eternity, and she fingers her engagement ring that was slipped on her necklace. But finally, the wedding music starts, and the doors open, letting everyone inside see the bride.
Down by the altar, Danny Fenton's breath hitches as he sees Ember in her bridal gown. He looks in awe and amazement as she walks down the aisle like an angel brought down by the heavens. She was wearing a strapless white gown with the back hem trailing behind complete with a pair of long white gloves that stops by her palms with a beautiful intricate design snaking to her lower arm up until the elbow. Her flaming hair was braided and curled into a bun with metallic white pins holding it in place, and a small tiara on top. She wore her turquoise necklace, and he could see that the engagement ring was slipped on its chain beside the wing. That brought a wide grin on Danny's lips. But what captivated him were her beautiful emerald green eyes staring right back at him. And in that moment, he falls in love with her all over again.
Everyone's eyes fall upon Ember as she carries the bouquet of white roses and walks down the aisle with a bright smile. Sitting at the right front pew was Maddie and Jack.
"Jack, look how beautiful our future daughter-in-law is." Maddie beams.
Jack grins, pumping out his fist. "Now that's what I call a Fenton, even if she's a ghost."
Other guests on the groom's side were his grandparents, relatives, Mr. Lancer, the former students of Casper High namely, Dash, Paulina, Star, Kwan, and Valerie, Valerie's Dad, Frostbite, Pandora, Wulf, Cujo, Dora the Dragon Ghost, and Danny's clone/cousin, Danielle.
"Man, Fenton's really lucky to marry someone as hot as Ember McLain," Dash says.
"Huhuhu, it should've been me walking down the aisle to get married with my Danny," Paulina cries.
"Please, you've treated him like dirt when we were at school. How did you expect he'd end up with you?" Valerie retorts.
"Guys, shush," Star says, "We're at a wedding here." She then smiles at Kwan, holding hands with him.
Mr. Lancer looks at the bride, and then at the groom. He smiles. "Looks like Mr. Fenton has a bright future ahead. I can't believe they're growing up fast."
"Lady Ember is so lucky to have Sir Phantom," Dora says.
"Yes, what an excellent choice, Great One." Frostbite approves.
Pandora nods. "A champion deserves only the best."
Cujo and Wulf barks in agreement.
"Nice one, cuz." Danielle gives a thumbs up.
On the bride's side, the guests were Youngblood, his ghost parrot, Desiree, Bertrand, Walker and his goons, the Lunch Lady with the Box Ghost in tow, other ghosts, a few old people she knew back in the days, and with great reluctance, Klemper.
"Argh, my first mate, Ember's a-gettin' hitched." Youngblood raises his hook arm. "Let's celebrate with a drink of ale."
"Capt'n, you're too young to drink." The parrot shakes its bony head.
"Aw man."
"A half-human getting married with a full ghost. Now that's against the rules. But with the master of time saying it so, I guess I can give a leeway this time," Walker says.
"Oh look sweetie." The Lunch Lady nudges the Box Ghost. "I wish we'll have a wonderful wedding like this in the future."
"Ugh—"
Desiree suddenly appears before the two. "So you have wished it, so—you know the rest." She waves a magical green mist around them.
Klemper looks at the wishing ghost. "Will you be my friend?"
"Eh...no," she says dryly.
Down by the altar was Clockwork as the wedding's officiant. On the right were Danny's groomsmen, Johnny 13, Skulker, Technus, while on the left were Ember's bridesmaids, Jazz, Sam, Spectra. Next was the maid of honor, Kitty. And the best man was Tucker.
Skulker sighs, "Why am I even here?"
"Why? We are here to be the groomsmen for the groom." Technus explains.
"What he means is that why he's even on his ex's wedding." Johnny snickers.
"Don't remind me." Skulker looks to the side at the maid of honor, who in turn stares daggers at him and cracks her knuckles, making him gulp. "I think they only invited me to rub their wedding in my face."
Johnny rubs his chin. "Well, that would be Ember's idea of revenge."
"It's your fault she left you in the first place." Technus agrees.
Skulker heaves a sigh.
"I can't believe my brother's actually getting married." Jazz beams with joy.
"Yeah, I really had no idea it would be Ember," Sam says.
Jazz nudges Sam's arm. "Are you still sad about you and Danny?"
Sam was about to reply, but Spectra suddenly cuts in on their conversation. "I'd be ecstatic if you would brood all day at this wedding. Your misery is really good for my skin."
Sam rolls her eyes. "Yeah well, not gonna happen." She then looks at the bride and the groom. "If Danny's happy with Ember, then I'm content with just this."
Kitty hears what Sam said and smiles at that. Tucker glances at Danny and smirks as he sees his best friend staring stupidly at his bride. He chuckles at that.
When Ember reaches the altar, Danny snaps out of his daze and leans to her side, grinning. "You really look hot and sexy in that dress, Emy."
She smirks. "You don't look that bad yourself, dipstick." She then licks her lips at him, making his knees go weak, and heart to beat faster. A blush flushes his cheeks, and Ember giggles at that. She flashes him her cocky grin, before looking at Clockwork. Smiling sheepishly, Danny follows suite.
Clockwork addresses the wedding guests. "We have been invited here today to witness and celebrate the uniting in marriage of Ember Rose McLain and Daniel James Fenton. They are taking the first step of their new beginning, their new life and afterlife together. The ability and desire for one being to love another is perhaps the most precious and fulfilling gift that has been entrusted to us. It is an all-consuming task, a lifelong endeavor—the journey we've been preparing for all of our lives and afterlives."
Turning his attention to the two, Clockwork changes from adult to child. "Loving someone is a reason to stretch beyond our limits, to become more for the sake of the other. It is to look into the soul of your beloved and accept what you see." He then changes to his old form. "Loving is the ultimate commitment which challenges humans and ghosts to become all that we are meant to be. We are more than just a separate existence."
Danny and Ember smile at that. Clockwork nods, and then addresses the guests again, moving back the cycle to his adult form. "As they join in marriage today, Ember and Daniel are announcing to the world that they are welcoming that challenge."
Ember hands out the bouquet of white roses over to her maid of honor. She then turns around to face her one and only baby pop. Danny grins and holds out his hands to Ember's, entwining them lovingly. After that, Clockwork turns to the groom. "Danny, your vows please."
Danny nods, and then looks solely at his lover's eyes. "I, Daniel Fenton, take you, Ember McLain, to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward to forever. I love you, Ember."
Most of the guests had tears in their eyes, especially a certain Hispanic A-Lister. Ember smiles at him, emerald green eyes filled with so much love and devotion. Clockwork then turns to the bride. "Ember, your vows please."
She nods. "I, Ember McLain, take you, Danny Fenton, to be my friend, my lover, and my husband. I will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph. I promise to cherish and respect you, to care and protect you, to comfort and encourage you, and stay with you for all eternity. I love you, Danny." A lone tear falls down her cheeks, and Danny carefully wipes it away with his right hand.
Clockwork nods at the best man. With a wide smile, Tucker takes out the bride's wedding band, and then hands it over to the groom.
Danny holds Ember's left hand. "Ember, with this ring, I join my life with yours." He slips the wedding band on her ring finger.
Ember's eyes shine like the burning sun. She wanted to kiss him right then and there, but a tap from her left shoulder makes her turn around. A smiling Kitty-Kat holds out the groom's wedding band, winking at her.
Blushing slightly a bit at her urges, Ember takes the ring, and then holds Danny's left hand with her own. She looks up at his beautiful baby blue. "Danny, with this ring, I join my afterlife with yours." She slips the wedding band on his ring finger.
Clockwork lets out a ghost of a smile. "It is my honor to announce you Mr. and Mrs. Fenton. You may now kiss the bride."
Stepping closer, Danny cups Ember's cheek lovingly with his right and the other entwines with her fingers, while Ember places her free hand on top of his. They slowly close their eyes as they lean in on the kiss. Their lips touch. It was soft and chaste, but with an underlying raw amount of passion and love. Cheers and claps break out as the newlywed couple seal the deal. Ember's hair flares up and nearly burns the ceiling. At the same time, frost creeps up from Danny's lips to hers. Snowflakes start to falls down from the ceiling, but some of them melt near the couple. Awe and wonder behold the entire congregation as they witness the amazing scene before them as this was the first time anyone has ever seen a halfa and a ghost come as one.
Danny and Ember break out of their kiss, slightly panting for breath. The two gaze at each other's eyes, deep in a trance-like state. And a smile slowly forms their lips.
"I love you, Ember."
"I love you too, Danny."
Clockwork looks at the newlywed couple, already seeing a bright future ahead, not just for them, but of the entire world and the Ghost Zone. Just then, a smile breaks his impassive face. A bright future indeed. He especially finds their little ones very charming.
