Thank you Astrid16 for your continued support! You've made this story so much better! We are almost at the end of the story and I created an epilogue for after the movie. It's kinda cheesy but it ties up some loose ends.

i own only my OCs

Zane sat down beside Mel as she played, she angrily glared at him and stopped playing, turning away from him. Zane started playing in a higher octave, then after several measures paused for her to start playing. After a couple seconds, she reluctantly started playing her sad tune, he joined in with his happier song. As they played together, Mel cheered up and Xavier sat up to bop along to their song. Then they finished, Xavier clapped for them excitedly.

"That was fun," Mel said quietly, avoiding eye contact with Zane.

"Mel?" he asked, she looked at him shyly, "I'm sorry for lying to you. I didn't want to hurt you, it's just-"

"I know you love her. That girl. I don't care if anyone loves me, I mean it would be nice but all I want is someone who could be there for us," she said, "He is the world to me, I want to give him everything I couldn't in our last life."

Zane opened his mouth, but was distracted when a white rose floated into the pub and up to Mel.

"What's this?" she asked, gingerly plucking the rose from the air, "Xavier, isn't this the rose I gave to Lloyd?"

He nodded, just as Kai, Jay and Lloyd burst into the pub.

"Zane!" they cried, running up to him.

"Guys, what are you doing here? How did you get here?" Zane asked, Mel grabbed Xavier off of the piano and quickly backed up.

"A whole lotta tea!" Kai said.

Lloyd looked at Mel and Xavier who were disappearing into the crowd, they rushed out and into the kitchen.

"Zane, Pixal is getting married to some guy named Cole," Jay said.

"What?!" he asked, startled.

"Since you disappeared, the Borg's found her a new suitor," Kai said.

"They're getting married tonight," Lloyd said.

"I'm probably too late," Zane said sadly, "She would never let me go back to the surface now! Not after I lied to her."

"She?" Jay asked, looking around.

"Mel-" Zane said, before seeing that she and her son were gone.

"Oh! That bride and her son! Where did they go?" Jay asked.

Lloyd walked up to the kitchen and peeked in, seeing Mel and Xavier hiding. He slowly walked in, she jumped and backed up, shielding her son in her arms.

"Please don't hurt us!" she cried.

"It's okay! It's okay! I'm not going to hurt you!" Lloyd said, holding his hands up, "We met earlier today! I'm Lloyd, remember?"

She slowly looked up, uncovering her son from her arms, "I-I'm sorry, my son and I..we had a bad experience in the surface world with the villagers. We're kinda..overly cautious now of any living people."

"What happened?" Lloyd asked.

"They threw rocks at us," Xavier said shyly, "They yelled at mama. I didn't like it, they were mean to us."

"They knew we didn't fit in, and they saw my arm and leg," she said, shifting her dress to show her bony leg.

"I'm sorry," Lloyd said.

Then a surprise visitor popped in.

Lloyd asked, shocked, "Dad?"

Garmadon turned and stared at Lloyd, his mouth agape, "Lloyd? Are you-? Is it really you?"

He nodded and hugged his father, Garmadon cried, "It's been so long since I've seen you! My, you've grown up so handsomely!"

"I've missed you, dad!" Lloyd cried. After they broke apart, Garmadon said, "I see you've met my daughter."

"Daughter?" Lloyd asked, confused.

"Well, we're not related, but we're really close," Mel spoke up, hiding in the corner still.

"My dear! I came here to tell you something!" Garmadon said, pulling out the book he brought in.

"Should I step out?" Lloyd asked.

"You don't have to," Mel said, "What's wrong?"

He flipped through the pages and said, "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you and Zane..aren't married. Your vows with Zane were 'Til death do you part', but my dear, death has already parted you."

Mel gasped silently, Xavier was shocked. Zane had walked up to the door and peeked in, overhearing Garmadon continue, "The only way for you two to be together is if you two renew your vows on the surface...and he drinks the Wine of Ages."

"Poison," Mel whispered.

Zane silently gasped, but thought, "I have no one else since Pixal is married."

He quietly stepped into the kitchen as Mel said, "I could never ask him to do that. He loves that other girl, I'm a nobody. He said he'll never love me."

He walked up to them and said, "I'll do it."

Everyone turned to him, Mel said, "Zane, you don't have to do this. You don't have to marry me out of pity. I know you don't love me."

"I will do it, I will marry you," he said.

"Zane, if you go through with this, you can never return to the surface world," Garmadon said.

"What about us? Kai, Jay and me?" Lloyd asked, "Would we ever see him again?"

"I'm afraid not."

"Are you sure you want to do this, Zane?" Mel asked, "This is asking a lot of you."

"I'm sure," Zane said, "We should do this properly!"

Garmadon clapped his hands together, "We are going to have a wedding!"

Kai and Jay had joined them at this announcement, "Who's getting married?"

Zane, Mel, Xavier and their friends walked out into the courtyard where many people were milling about. Zane climbed the statue and helped Mel and Xavier up, he called out, "Everyone, we are going to Ninjago to have a wedding!"

Instantly the crowd buzzed with excitement, everyone started getting preparations such as cakes, decorations, and presents.

They climbed down and Charlotte met up with Zane, "You can't get married in these filthy rags! Girls!"

Several more spiders appeared and started sewing his tux as several girls carried Mel and Xavier away. Kai and Jay wandered around, fascinated by the undead around them while Lloyd played with Xavier. Once both were ready, all of the citizens of the underworld traveled up to Ninjago for the wedding of the century.

Pixal sat somberly at her family's table, her new husband sitting beside her.

"I thank you for welcoming me into your family," Cole said, standing up, "I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with my beautiful wife! With this wealthy family by our side, nothing on earth can tear us apart!"

Then, the moment he said that, the undead started coming into the dining room where everyone was. Cyrus and Skylar panicked and fled, causing the guests to flee as well.

"Wealth?" Pixal asked, speaking up for the first time, "What wealth?"

"The dowry! The bride's family is supposed to share their wealth with the husband!" Cole cried.

"No, the husband was supposed to share his family's wealth with the bride's," Pixal said, standing up, "My family is broke. Is this marriage not going according to plan, Sir Cole?"

She turned on her heels and walked out, Cole grumbled angrily and smashed the table in half. Pixal opened the door and looked out onto the street, seeing the villagers reunited with their deceased loved ones. She joined the parade to the chapel where the wedding would be taking place.
