Through a long and dangerous journey, Dipper safely rescued Mabel while everyone got an interesting story of her true destiny by an alternate time course Mabel, Princess Mabellita. Now that she and Dipper knows, he has made it a vow to protect his sister until she discovers her destiny and beyond, officially being dawned her protector. With that, let's check in with everyone to see how they are doing.
Star Kingdom
Princess Mabellita and Mordecai have officially restored the Star Kingdom to its original form and status as if the invasion by Narsus never took place. With a brand new staff, rules, and customs, the soon to be new rulers are currently beginning a new chapter in their lives.
"Oh my! Oh my! Oh my!" Mabellita panics as she runs about the dressing room trying to find her shoes. "I thought I had those ready for the day! Oh my where could they be?"
Making her way to her closet, Mabellita now darts into her walk in closet and spots the shoes that she needs for the day.
"Oh there they are!" Mabellita breathes a sigh of relief. "I thought I lost them. Today wouldn't even happen had I not found these shoes!"
Taking a seat on the stool in the closet, Mabellita kicks off her slippers and places her much desired wedding shoes on. After placing her shoes on, Mabellita gets to her feet and begins walking out of her closet. On her way out, she passes the mirror attached the closet door and catches a quick glimpse of her reflection. Walking back to the mirror, Mabellita begins taking in her image with the image of her mother wearing that wedding dress and the accessories appearing in the mirror over hers.
"I can't believe I'm actually doing this." Mabellita begins, tears beginning to appear in her eyes as she fixes her veil. "I can't believe I'm actually getting married. I wish my parents were alive to witness this and I know they would have loved Mordecai."
Lightly wiping away what tears have formed with her satin gloved finger, Mabellita manages a wide smile.
"Because I know I do." Mabellita finishes. "I love him so much that words cannot describe and I'm glad that in mere minutes, we will be united together forever."
Still seeing her mother's image in the mirror, Mabellita gives her a small wave.
"Your little girl is getting married today mother." Mabellita speaks. "And I'm wearing the same dress you wore when you married father. I am carrying your image well and I know if you could see me, you would say the same thing."
Continuing to take in her image, Mabellita doesn't hear one of the castle servants enter her dressing room.
"Your highness?" The servant, Carla, calls. "Your highness, are you here?"
Hearing the woman, Mabellita pops her head out of the closet and takes notice of Carla looking around the room for her.
"I'm in here." Mabellita says, now getting Carla's attention.
"There you are your majesty." Carla replies sighing in relief. "Everyone is waiting for you in the chapel."
"I know." Mabellita nods as she exits her closet. "I am just so nervous about this."
"Why?" Carla asks. "You are about to marry the man that you love. Aren't you happy?"
"Of course I am." Mabellita answers, her tears now reappearing as she takes a seat at her vanity. "It's just that after everything I've been through with saving this kingdom from Narsus and now finding out the one person who raised me on earth is in love with me is just, I don't know. It's a lot to take in."
"Surprising and a bit of a shock all in one?" Carla asks, now approaching Mabellita and placing a hand on her shoulder. "These things do have a way of surprising you, but I don't doubt for a second that he doesn't love you with all of his heart because I know he does."
"I know he does and Mordecai is very wonderful." Mabellita nods as she grabs a tissue and begins dabbing her eyes, making sure not to ruin her makeup. "All of this was just so sudden and I know that I will be happy for the rest of my life with Mordecai. Of course this is way better than marrying Narsus."
"Then it's time that you left this room and went to join the man of your dreams at the end of that isle." Carla smiles, now catching with Mabellita's gaze in the vanity mirror. "He's probably wondering where you are at the moment."
Nodding, Mabellita dabs her eyes once more and gets to her feet. Turning to Carla, Mabellita smiles.
"So, how do I look?" Mabellita asks, now modeling her dress for Carla.
"Beautiful." Carla replies with a smile. "Your mother would have been so proud of you and to know that you look just like her in her dress would have brought happy tears to her eyes."
"That's sort of what I was aiming for." Mabellita admits. "Too bad my father isn't here to give me away at my wedding."
"I know, but I found someone that will do just as great of job that he would have done if he were here." Carla replies, now handing Mabellita her bouquet of red roses. "Now come on, let's get you married."
"Thanks so much for being my maid of honor." Mabellita smiles to Carla as she embraces her in a hug. "I couldn't make it through this day or this ceremony without you."
"Hey, what are servants for?" Carla replies as Mabellita releases her.
"No, you're much more than just the castle's helper." Mabellita says, her tone a bit serious. "You have become a very best friend and sister to me. Never look at yourself as anything less than that."
"You got it Mabellita." Carla smiles. "Ready?"
"I'm ready." Mabellita nods.
Smiling to Carla, Mabellita takes her bouquet and now exits her dressing room with Carla in tow.
The Chapel
In the chapel of the Star Kingdom, the house is packed as everyone who has been invited to the wedding is seated in the appropriate pews as they await patiently for the arrival of princess Mabellita, the bride. The preacher is standing in place as he waits to conduct the ceremony for the couple and Mordecai is currently exchanging words with his best man, his brother Mike.
"You are one lucky guy to be marrying a woman like Mabellita." Mike says to him. "I've gotten a glimpse of Mabellita and wow! What a babe!"
"She's not a babe, she a wonderful woman who has captured my heart." Mordecai says with a smile. "However when you finally talk to her, you are not to call her a babe. I've seen her fight and trust me, you do not want to anger her."
"Sorry man." Mike says as he puts his hands up in defense. "But I had to give her the compliment she deserves. Mabellita is very beautiful and I hate that I didn't catch her first."
"Mabellita is more than just looks Mike." Mordecai sighs. "She's a wonderful woman with a great heart and great leadership skills. She's stern yet caring, knows what she wants, and never has a problem stating it. Also, I love that she is so bubbly and unique. Just yesterday she presented to me a knitting catalog with a project in it that she will be starting on soon. Those are the types of things that make me love her so much."
"Again, you are very lucky man." Mike smiles. "Good luck to you both."
"Thanks Mike." Mordecai nods.
The song "Here comes the bride" begins to play as everyone gets to their feet and turns towards the chapel doors, anxious to see the princess enter. The doors now open and in steps Carla, Mabellita's bridesmaid. As Carla makes her way down the aisle, the flower girls and the ring bearers follow behind her. Reaching the end of the aisle, Carla now takes her position on the right side of the preacher with the other bridesmaids while the flower girls and the ring bearers take their positions.
With them in position, Mabellita, with the chosen guard who will be escorting her down the aisle, now enter the chapel. With her veil covering her face, Mabellita is tightly holding her bouquet as her breathing begins quickening. Feeling herself beginning to hyperventilate, Mabellita quickly gains control over her breathing as she looks ahead of her to see Mordecai waiting for her at the end of the aisle. Seeing him flashing her a smile, she returns it as she and the guard begins making their way down the aisle.
As Mabellita is making her way down the aisle, she can hear the whispers of everyone around her of how she looks like her mother in her dress, how beautiful she looks, and how lucky she is to be marrying Mordecai. Even a few compliments about how nice her hair looks has reached her ears. Now reaching the end of the aisle, Mabellita is helped by the guard into her place with Mordecai now stepping next to her.
"You look wonderful." Mordecai whispers to her.
"Thanks." Mabellita whispers back. "You clean up pretty well yourself."
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join Princess Mabellita Athura of the Star Kingdom and her chosen love Mordecai in holy matrimony under the stars of this dimension." The preacher begins. "If there is anyone here that feels that these two should not be wed, please speak up now or forever hold your peace."
Mabellita and Mordecai look around the chapel only to be met with the chirps of crickets. They now turn back to the preacher.
"Mabellita and Mordecai, if you could turn to each other and join hands?" The preacher requests.
Mabellita hands her bouquet to Carla and turns back to Mordecai as he takes her satin gloved hands.
"The couple has written their own vows and will now exchange them." The preacher announces. "Princess, why don't you begin."
"Mordecai, from our time on earth, I never thought the one I'd come to love and marry was right under my nose." Mabellita begins. "From the time you've trained me to discover the true power within me to the close relationship that we came to have, my heart has grown for you. I've come to see you as not just my best friend, but also my king, the king that will rule beside me here in the kingdom. I love you and can't wait to start my life with you."
Mordecai notices that Mabellita has tears in her eyes. Reaching over, he wipes them away.
"Now you Mordecai." The preacher says to him.
"Mabellita, words cannot describe how much I've grown to love you." Mordecai begins. "From the tike I raised as the little princess in my care that Queen Athura asked me to look after while on earth, I watched each day as you grew up into a very beautiful young lady. When I began training you to use your powers, that only made my heart grow that much more fonder of you. However, on the dreadful day that you came here to defeat the enemy broke my heart, knowing that it was a possibility that I would never see you or your smile again. When I found you and saved your life, I was determined to tell you how I truly felt and how much you truly mean to me. I will make it my life's mission to always protect you, love you, and, keep harm from ever reaching you. I love you Mabellita and will hold your heart forever."
A few sniffles can be heard coming from the crowd with Mabellita doing her best to keep from breaking into a sob herself.
"That was beautiful." Mabellita says, her voice shaky as she fights back her tears. "I love you so much."
"May we have the rings?" The preacher requests.
The ring bearer now approaches the two as Mordecai takes the rings from the pillows.
"Mabellita and Mordecai, please exchange rings." The preacher says to them.
Mordecai slips Mabellita's gold wedding band on her ring finger and she slips his ring onto his ring finger. The two now rejoin their hands.
"Princess Mabellita Athura, do you take Mordecai to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The preacher asks to Mabellita. "To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer and poorer so long as you both shall live?"
"I do." Mabellita answers.
"And do you Mordecai, take Princess Mabellita Athura to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The preacher continues. "To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer and poorer so long as you both shall live?"
"I now and forever do." Mordecai answers, staring into Mabellita's brown eyes. "No one will ever come before her."
"By the powers invested in me by the constructs of the Star Dimension, it is my distinct pleasure to pronounce you man and wife!" The preacher announces. "You may now kiss the bride."
Approaching Mabellita, Mordecai now pulls her veil up and embraces her as the two have their wedding kiss. Pulling apart, the two now face the crowd with smiles.
"I am happy to announce the new rulers of the Star Kingdom: Queen Mabellita Athura and King Mordecai!" The preacher cheers as the crowd begins cheering wildly for the married couple and new rulers of the kingdom.
"This is a dream come true." Mabellita says to Mordecai.
"A dream I know will last forever." Mordecai says, sweetly smiling to Mabellita.
As the crowd continues cheering for the new rulers, the two now rejoin to share another wedding kiss, this one lasting longer than the first.
If anyone is crying right now, trust me, I'm right along with you there! That was just too beautiful! Our little Mabellita has gotten married and will officially be following in her parents footsteps as the new ruler of the Star Kingdom! So there is a happy ending after all, just too bad Narsus didn't have one!
