Leah drifted confidently down the aisle, her hair and face covered in white gauze. She looked to the left, to where her brother had looped his arm around hers…when had he gotten so tall. Leah wondered before looking back to the front, on one side in striking tuxes and black ties stood Aro, Cauis, and an empty place for Seth and Marcus. Her beautiful Marcus, his tux fit him like it had been made for him (Which come to think of it, it probably had.) the shoulders were brood and the waist was narrow, but it was his eyes that drew her the most, his red eyes usually shown with bloodlust now shown with an entirely different kind of hunger.
Tearing her eyes away from the man of her dreams, she looked to the other side of the aisle, there stood Dora, Sully, and Becca. Leah smiled as she finished her long walk; it appeared as though Dora had invited the entirety of the wolf, human and vampire, and other magical communities, who, upon threat of death, had yet to fight.
Leah was more than ready to be married. And 20 short minutes later they were.

(AN: introductions and gifts!)
By the time the gift presenting ceremony had begun Leah's head was spinning, so many names and faces to remember all jumbled together as Marcus took her hand and led her to the two thrones that had been placed in the center of the room.
"This is my favorite part," Marcus whispered into her ear, "It's easier to remember people after they give you gifts." He continued.
Aro stood and announced the ceremony was about to begin. "As is our right, we brothers shall go first." Aro continued.
"Aro, just give them the gift already." Cauis complained his face a mix of excitement and annoyance.
"Fine just take all the fun out of it. Brother, Sister it is custom to give an island, but as Marcus already has several, we instead bought you a small rainforest in South America, may you run free, and be at peace." Aro said.
Next was Dora and Sully, "Sister, we welcome you to the family, and present you with this crown. It has been passed down to the new queens since the beginning of time." Sully said as Dora unwrapped the gold and jewel incrusted tiara and placed it on Leahs' head. "Yes welcome to the family," Dora said before leaning in to whisper in Leah's ear, "Don't listen to Sully, we stole this crown from the Romanians when we took over. Sully just likes to be dramatic." She finished with a wink, turning and throwing another wink to the very Romanians she had just been speaking about.
The gifts continued.
She received a necklace from her mother, one that was handed down through the years at the marriage of the eldest daughter.
The Cullens - A house in Forks, a whole house! One that Esme had no doubt taken great pleasure in building.
The Romanians – a Sword, along with the offer of lessons, "Just in case you ever feel the need to go on a murdering rampage though the castle." Vladimir said with an evil grin.
The Amazonians – A suit of armor. "Because ever woman should have one." Said Zafrina with a smile.
The Guard – a diamond encrusted gown with matching shoes, and, "Just to be sure we didn't leave anything out." a bank account with upwards of 2 billion dollars in it.
Jane and Alec – One all expense weekend at the spa! "You are going to enjoy that so freaking much." Alec exclaimed.
Of all the gifts Leah received the one she enjoyed most was the Danili's gift, one that was only for Leah - "We don't blame you, Leah, for what Irina did. And if you have decided to marry into pure evil, know that we still love you. So we present to you, Nathan." The sisters parted to reveal a tiny dragon.
It was without a doubt the cutest thing that Leah had ever seen, and she fell in love instantly, she felt a pull to the dragon, almost like imprinting, just not as strong.
Around a foot tall, his spine was lined in dull spikes; his eyes were the brightest emerald she had ever seen. "Dragons," Kate said, "are notoriously protective and loyal. Once one has chosen you it will stay beside you for all of time. Nathan was born on the day of the almost battle, not far from the field. Apparently he stumble upon us, when he saw you Leah, he chose you to be his mother."
"Well that's very sweet, but how do you know that?" Leah asked.
"Leah love," Marcus said "Dragons are telepathic, Nathan probable told them."
I have been searching for you, White Wolf. I knew I was meant to be with you, I came across these cold ones, they smelled of you, so I asked for help. A deep, excited voice inside Leah head said.
"Was that you?" Leah asked the small dragon, who still sat sedately at her feet. She jumped a little when he nodded. "Well aren't you just the smart one." Leah said with a smile. "Well, up you get." She continued, patting a spot on her lap.
The small dragon became very excited, but instead of crawling into her lap, he opened his wings and became a flowing stream of color. The color stream flowed into the air and swirled around one of Leah's exposed arms, before abruptly disappearing. After a slight burning sensation, Leah saw a tattoo appear on her arm, a small dragon with flames exiting his gaping jaws, and his emerald eyes glowing with joy.
"Well," Aro began, "I do believe that ends…"
"Wait!" Dora shouted. "Aro, don't be mean, you know we have one more couple!"
"Oh! Do we have to!? He is such a showboat.."
"And you're not?" Sully asked. "Besides he is always the life of the party. Dora you do the honors, I did it last time."
"Very well," Dora beamed. When she walked to center of the room to address the group of people, silence fell, and the lights dimmed, because everyone knew when Dora spoke it was best to listen. "Ladies, gentleman, nomads, covens, packs, and humans, we few who are fortunate enough to know the secrets of the world, we who are legends, we who are the stuff of nightmares and dreams, wouldn't you be surprise to know that this world still has one more secret to tell." A murmur ran though the audience.
Those who had attended a Volturi party before understood what was about to happen. They carefully positioned themselves to see the faces of those who hadn't.
"Not so many years ago, during one of my many travels,"
"During one of your tantrums." Cauis interrupted.
"I met a man," she continued, as if not hearing her husband. " A strange man, with different colored eyes and a fierce scowl that sends even the strongest of men crying to their mothers. And without further ado, I wish the royal goblin couple were here, Right Now."
For a moment nothing happened, and then the lights went out.
Around the room people could be heard screaming as little creatures touched them, in a flash of lightning and glitter the lights came back on to reveal two people.
The man was tall, dresses in a blue jeweled coat, with tight fitting breaches, and knee-high leather boots. His blond hair stuck up in strange angles, and in his left hand he held a riding crop.
The woman was almost exactly his opposite, standing 5 foot 4 inches, she had long, perfect black hair that almost seemed to sparkle, she was dressed in a floor length white dress that floated around her in a magical way, in her arms she carried a small basket with a lid.
"May I present King Jareth and Queen Sarah, rulers of the Goblin Kingdom of the Underground. Who have come to give the happy couple a gift." Dora announced. Watching as those familiar with the Goblin King and Queen laughed at those who weren't. The astonished faces were truly something to behold.
"SHINY!" came a screech from the thrones, everyone turned to see a small goblin being held in the air by Leah, it's arms still held out, hands reaching for the crown on Leahs' head.
Oh, OH….came a voice in Leahs head…Kick it, Goblins love to get kicked, aim for the window! It'll be funny! Nathan said, giggling.
OK, OK. Calm down little one. Leah laughed. I am only doing this once, and only for you.
"Oh dear" Said Sarah, "I am so…." She was interrupted by Leah who suddenly stood, using one hand she half lifted the hem of her gown, and with the other she dropped the goblin, just as he would have hit the floor, Leah landed a perfect kick on his rear-end sending the small goblin flying, it laughed on its way out the window.
"….Sorry." Sarah finished, before laughing.
"How on earth did you figure that out so fast?" Jareth asked. "It took me almost 100 years to figure that out." He said, clearly impressed.
"Nathan told me." Leah said with a smile, walking forward to meet the new couple. "I'm Leah, it's a pleasure to meet you both."
"Who is Nathan?" Jareth asked. Leah lifted her arm, and the burning sensation returned, she watched as the tattoo shifted, crawling down her arm and half lifting from her skin to look at the goblin king.
Jareth jerked back as the tiny dragon, intrigued by the tall king, fully removed himself from Leah, and flew around the king, before being distracted by the basket in the queens' arms.
"Now," Jareth said, "My wife and I have brought separate gifts, I will go first," with a wave of his hand a round crystal appeared. Perfectly smooth the crystal seemed to roam the kings' arms of its own accord. "This is not an ordinary gift, for an ordinary… No wait, that's what I say when I take the wished away, sorry, old habits and all, anyway this is a portal crystal. You hold it in your hands, and wish to be anywhere in the world, and when you open your eyes, you'll be there."
"Thank you." Leah said, mesmerized by the delicate beauty she held in her hands, before being distracted by her dragon, who suddenly chortled loudly, as if looking for attention.
A friend, mother, they brought me a friend. Can we keep him; he will be a marvelous companion!
Leah jumped when the dragon had called her mother. I'm your mother? Leah asked.
Of course you're my momma! And he is my friend, can we keep him? PLEASE!? He begged.
"I think you should show me what is in that basket Sarah, whatever it is has poor little Nathan in quite a tissy. Nathan, come here darling." She said. The small dragon flew back to his mother, and settled on her shoulders.
"May you have a happy marriage." Sarah said. Opening the basket to revealing a baby unicorn, he was a precious little thing, black as night, his horn still small, barely showing though the hair on his head.
"Oh, Marcus he is so adorable."
