Note: Here's part 2!
Chapter 12: The wedding part 2
As soon as all of them got near the tower, the two couples talked with the ticket manager for permission to use the first level to themselves. He said he would be fired if he did that. Before Kevin burst in anger, Ben threatened him to throw the tower to Bellwood if he don't, as one of his aliens. He reluctantly agreed but only for a few minutes and they replied that they only needed 15 minutes at least.
As Ben and Gwen motioned for their family to follow them, they saw a line full of tourists lining up in the elevator. They all sighed.
"I bet no one had this bad luck for one day", Gwen said looking exasperated.
"We can use the stairs", Julie suggested, looking exactly like her best friend.
"There's over 300 steps before we get there ", Kevin said looking way up high.
"Alright, I got this", Ben said walking over the line and as fast as he ran towards them showing his overly handsome face, he came runninng back with a crowd of people following him, demanding autographs. "Take...the...elevator. I'll fly up!", he managed to say before being strangled.
Kevin grinned, wishing he had a camera with him," He'll be alright, Come on!", he said pointing to the empty elevator while Julie looked concerned. Gwen pulled her in and waited for all of them to fit in.
" Who knew a wedding could be so unpredictable. Max and I got married beside our special lake, it would have been easier to do so", their Anodite grandmother explained and Gwen wondered why they didn't even thought of that. Kevin held that same feeling in his mind and looked at Gwen who just shrugged.
"We could always go back", Gwen said and the whole family seemed to think.
"Nah", they said simultaneously before the elevators opened only to see a fantastic view of the city of love.
"We got 15 minutes, guys", Max said acting as the minister of the ceremony for his grandchildren," Guys, seriously, don't get too in love with this place", he said trying his best to get themselves a move on when all of his family was too stunned with the view.
The elevator seems like it stopped moving for there are no signs of noise and movement from the tourists. After Ben dropped in as Jetray, telling everyone that he broke the elevator, Kevin and Ben sat at the open area. Their brides stared at them.
"Are we supposed to sit, Grandpa?", Gwen asked her grandfather who was gathering and laying 2 fancy alienated bowls of the same structure on top of their grandmother's Greek- like table of Manna.
"Here, dears", Verdona said as she conjured pairs of chairs for everyone and as usual made of her energy.
The two smiled in delight and Ben and Kevin groaned before standing up to sit beside their girls when Verdona laughingly and accidentally hit them with the chairs.
"We should start the weddings, everyone. Greetings mortals and celebrate the mighty new union of another one of our kind", Max said as Verdona was the only one smiling.
Kevin and Gwen looked at each other," Aren't we all mortals here?", Kevin asked whispering as silent as he could, trying not to disturb their minister.
"Guess he wanted to say that for as long as I can remember", Gwen whispered unsurely as she saw Ben and Julie doing the same thing.
They saw the couple grab two fancy alienated knives and gave one to each of them. They exchanged confused looks.
"Firstly, the process would be incomplete if neither would give away a piece of each of you", Max explained and Kevin and Ben didn't really know what to give.
"I didn't bring any money, Gwen", Kevin said apologizing and Gwen and Julie slapped their hands with their faces.
"Kevin", Gwen whispered almost unpredictably.
With that, Verdona spoke before it could take any longer," It means you could cut Gwen's hands and Gwen would cut yours, Curtis. That goes the same for you, Ben", she said commandingly.
"Can't it be our powers for a change?", Ben asked and she disagreed.
"You ain't got the same powers from the same heritage. It would take longer to bind two different humanoid species", she explained.
They looked at their spouses," No deal", the boys said as their parents and friends looked terrified by the thought.
The girls looked at Max and whispered they only have 10 minutes then glanced with each other signaling something.
Gwen grabbed Kevin's arms and gently cut a little wound which only released a few blood. Kevin didn't seem like he felt it at all but the problem was their was hardly no blood dripping enough to fill ΒΌ of the cup.
"Gwen, this is taking all day", Kevin whispered as he kept looking over his wound on his hands which Gwen was holding. Julie did successfully in making Ben bleed and as usual Ben groaned like a child.
"I can't slice you open, you do it!", she whispered but still slowly continued to cut a little more.
"That hurts a little- argh", he groaned and finished as he saw a good amount of him in the cup. Gwen looked apologizing at him.
"Your turn", he said and took the knife from her," You're not scared of knives, are you?", Kevin asked teasingly, entertaining her so she won't feel the pain. He hated to see her in pain.
"I don't think so", she replied and saw as a gush of blood flowed through little by little. It hurt and how slowly Kevin did it made it worse," It hurts!", she yelled. Kevin jumped at the sudden yell and accidentally made the wound wider. He threw the knife and saw blood from her beautiful skin going in their cup. Too much of it.
Her parents stood up muttering her name but Verdona who was the only one not stupefied, easily fixed up Gwen's wound, magically stitching it close as well as Kevin, Ben, and Julie's.
"Thanks, Grandma", Gwen said and hugged Kevin," I'm fine, don't worry", she said comfortingly at him, knowing that every time he incidentally hurts her, he feels worse than a true monster should. Kevin put on a smile only intended for her and came back to normal.
"Alright, now the helpers of these united couples", Max gestured and a white visible bond in the shape of an infinity sign formed around Gwen, Kevin and Eunice as a sign for Ben and Julie's helpers and a yellowish visible bond for Ben, Julie, and Cooper for Gwen and Kevin coming from each of their bloodied cup.
"Cool", they muttered.
"Now that's done, O mighty God of our universe, bless the unified parts of Gwen and Kevin as well as Ben and Julie!", Max said raising the cups and then giving it back," Now bottoms up", he said.
They drank their blood with the girls having no choice and Ben muttering that it doesn't taste anything like smoothie.
"Now, I now pronounce you intergalactic and everlasting husband and wife", Max announced and they cheered as Gwen hugged Kevin and Ben doing the same to Julie.
Before the sun set, the last thing they wanted to do was kiss their brides and go home.
-For such a very long time, I demand even a piece of your reviews. Kidding, just don't forget to do it anyways.
