Yay! It's half term!
Disclaimer/warnings: Is it really necessary to repeat myself? Go back to the first chapter people!
It was the day of the wedding and Thorn was a bundle of nerves, his normal calm slightly intimidating demeanour was replaced by a frantic nervous one. It took all of Firnen, Oromis and Gleadr's patience to put up with him as he fretted and fidgeted, he only calmed down after Saphira skipped into the room and threatened him with severe bodily harm, which gained a laugh from everyone in the room.
...
At Eragon's house Murtagh was the same, he snapped constantly at his brother and cousin who further infuriated him by only rolling their eyes at him before exchanging exasperated looks. It didn't help him at all as his mother kept breaking down in tears at her 'baby boy's big day' as she so eloquently put it. Eventually the time came for them to leave for the venue, a castle out in the country side, and Murtagh took a deep breath to steady his nerves "I'm ready"
...
The ceremony passed without incident other than Silena breaking down in tears half way through much to Brom's embarrassment.
At the reception Eragon and Saphira stole off to escape from the suffocating presence of their relatives and the sappiness of their brothers. Now whilst they loved both of their brothers they found it hard to be around them when they were so happy and obviously in love with one another.
They reached a deserted hallway and sat down finalising their plans for the ultimate prank – which they had permission for (for once).
As 'pranking time' approached they headed back to the main hall, brushing aside the red streamers that hung everywhere.
"Would milady care to dance?" Eragon asked Saphira bowing low and acting like a knight from a story.
"Of course sir knight – or should that be fair maiden?" Saphira relied playing along and grinning wickedly. She took his arm and led him to the dance floor where they started to dance much to the delight of Katrina, Arya and Angela.
"Is it just me or are we being watched by the harpies?" Eragon muttered to Saphira
"We're being watched. Damn! This makes it harder to pull off the prank..." she cursed realising just what it meant.
They quickly vacated the dance floor on the pretence of getting a drink. As they approached the drinks table they were joined by the three girls "Sooo... Saph, Era, do you have something to tell us?"
Eragon looked at them in confusion so they elaborated, "We saw you dancing together... you blatantly like each other, in fact the looks you had on your faces mirrored that of your brothers..."
Eragon and Saphira both blushed a deep red and started to protest.
"Oh don't insult our intelligence please" Angela butted in "You both like one another and don't deny it, so Eragon ask her!"
He just gazed at the floor blushing ferociously.
Saphira rolled her eyes and decided to take over "Eragon will you go out with me to get these gorgons off our backs?"
The three older girls leaned towards them in expectation.
Said boy replied with a nod which made the girls other than Saphira squeal in joy.
"Now that you she-demons have got what you wanted will you please LEAVE US ALONE? We have business we need to take care of."
The three girls backed away from Saphira before running off and giggling to their partners.
"Come on Era," Saphira said taking his hand and pulling him along behind her.
...
At the end of the reception all of the plans were ready and the newlyweds were heading out towards their car among the confetti thrown by the guests.
Suddenly among the confetti came a loud giggle and a burst of blue silly string headed out hitting Thorn in the face. As he looked around for the source a jet of water came from the other side hitting Murtagh in the arm.
Both had a suspicion as to who was responsible as to who was responsible especially when ten seconds later blue feathers hit the pair of them from the trees, closely followed by more silly string and water.
The pinnacle of the prank was still to come however and as the couple headed under the portcullis of the castle a cascade of small packages and notes came floating down from the castle walls.
Murtagh picked up one of the notes; it read 'Thought you might be needing these later! Murtagh groaned as he realised what was in the packages.
"ERAGON! SAPHIRA! YOU ARE DEAD WHEN WE CATCH YOU! DEAD!" Thorn bellowed at the castle walls as he realised what the packages were too.
Everything was silent for a moment and giggling and footsteps could be heard running away on the castle walls.
The couple shook their heads, vowed to get revenge later on and continued on to the car sure that they were now safe from their siblings.
...
Later on in the castle courtyard Eragon, Saphira and their friends Tari and Gilraen high fived one another at the success of their plan, they repeated the process once again as Roran came over to them.
"Well done team!" Saphira congratulated everyone "I like the touch with the blue Gilraen, but was it really necessary to squirt them with water Roran? I'm sure it just added to their bad moods."
Everyone burst out laughing as they relived the memories of the looks on Thorn and Mutagh's faces.
Eragon started to speak "And you know what the best bit is? Firnen caught it all on camera!"
They all started to roll around laughing again.
Tari put on a serious face as something occurred to her "You do realise that we're all dead when they get back? Especially you Saph and Era"
They all gulped at the thought of what the two could do to them.
Saphira tried to make everyone feel better "Oh well, if we have a month to live then lets live it to the full"
"Agreed"
