Ch 14: Wedding Bells? Part 2
On the day of the wedding, Bloom awoke to find Elise missing from her usual spot on the bed. Had she not return last night? Walking out of the room, Bloom decided to look for her friend, only to run straight into Prince Riley.
"Oops, sorry your highness,"
"Whatever,"
"Say have you seen Elise?"
"No. Besides, you should keep those little beasts on a leash from now on. I don't want them ruining my wedding!"
"Excuse me? You have no right to talk about Elise, who idolized you once, like that. Watch your mouth or I will do it for you!" As Bloom stormed off to find her guardian, the 'prince's' eyes followed her.
"Such a beauty. Perhaps I could invade Domino next,"
He walked away to find his master, intent on getting rid of his first wife and marrying the fairy.
Far below the castle, Elise finally managed to break free of her nightmare. Jumping to her feet, she observed the surrounding area. Looks like she was finding her own way out. Suddenly, someone appeared.
It was Riley.
With a roar, Elise pounced on the unsuspecting prince. He cringed in fear.
"Please don't hurt me!" He pleaded. His eyes met Elise's.
"Elise? Boy, am I ever glad to see you!" When he tried to pet her, she growled menacingly. He realized what was going on.
"Elise listen. The Riley you saw up there is an imposter that is working for Diethro! They locked me down here so I wouldn't be able to stop them! You parents are also in on it!"
"Prove it!"
Riley smiled.
"Dragons, dragons! High do they soar!" He chanted their old theme. Elise smiled and joined in.
"And sent foe running with a might ROAR! Riley it is you!" She tackled the prince again, only this time, it was a tackle of love. Riley scratch behind the ears of the animal.
"Though this is a touching moment, we have to find a way out of here!"
"You're right! If we don't hurry, Selenia will marry an imposter!"
"Come on then little wolf!"
The two began running as fast as their legs could carry them. After a while, they came upon a small opening of light.
"I'll never be able to climb to that! My love is going to marry someone who doesn't love her!"
Suddenly, the two of them were surrounded by nightmares. Taking out his weapon, Riley and Elise charged at the monster. Once they were finish, they looked at their only escape route and tried to think of something.
"I could fly out and warn Selenia, but she wouldn't believe,"
"My love is doomed to be with someone who will not cherish and adore her!"
Riley slumped to the ground in despair. Elise looked at her friend with realization.
"You really love her," The prince nodded sadly. Elise glared at the escape tunnel.
"I'm sorry so Riley, I wish I could fly you. I wish I was big! I wish I was... A dragon!"
Elise necklace suddenly began glowing as she rose into air, eyes glowing pure sapphire. Her fur harden into scales, her claws and fangs grew long and sharp, her tail dragged along the floor and was given spikes, and her eye turned to slits. The dragon turn to the prince.
"Get on my back," Following orders, the prince mounted the mighty beast.
"Lets go save your bride! oh, and you might want to cover your ears," With a thunderous roar, Elise spread her wings and took to the air.
Back at the castle, the wedding ceremony was underway. As the bride walked down the aisle, the other anamists stood proud and strong. Bloom had found Elise sleeping in gardens that morning and she was now standing proudly with her cousin. Bloom, however, wasn't convinced about 'Elise's' reappearance. Suddenly, the minister asked.
"If there is anyone who objects to this lovely union, speak now or forever hold your peace,"
Suddenly, a booming roar rang sapphires aqua dragon dove from the air and landed in the middle of the aisle. Good thing the ceremony was held at the rooftop gardens. The dragon let out another roar.
"I have a few objections. That man is an impostor!"
Everyone gasped as the prince jumped from the podium.
"That's a lie!"
"No, it isn't!" An identical voice called out. To the guests amazement, another Riley jumped from the back of the dragon. 'Elise' came to the accused Riley's side.
"Team! Don't be fooled! These two are nightmares out to ruin the wedding!"
"Guys, no. I'm the real Elise. Look at her neck, what's missing?" Bloom looked at the wolf claiming to be Elise and saw a crucial piece missing.
"That's a false Elise! She's not even wearing her necklace!" The anamists began growling at the imposters. They both gave a evil glare at the true ones.
"Listen to your prince people!" Elise called to the crowd.
"My people, this monster is Prince Alinea! A greedy and cruel prince from a neighboring kingdom. Through Diethro, he's managed to pose as me to marry my bride to gain control of this kingdom! The royal families of the west are in league with him as well!"
Selenia stared at her relatives.
"Auntie, uncle, is this true?"
"Riley is no good for you Selenia," William spoke.
"We were just looking out for you!"
"Guards! Arrest my aunt and uncle, the impostors, and their guest!"
As the knights surrounded the royals, a shadow transported them back home. Elise grabbed hold of the false prince and removed his disguised. The dragon was suddenly overran with nightmares, one of which was posing as her. Bloom and Riley stood by her side while the others chased the false Riley. After all the nightmares were defeated, the saw the prince escaping. With a whip off her wings, Elise grabbed hold of Alinea and threw him into a cage. Selenia threw her arms around her true love and kissed him.
"I'm so happy that your alright!"
"I wouldn't have missed our wedding. Besides, I had a good companion watching my back," Elise, who had returned to her original form, walked up to them. Selenia hugged her.
"Thank you cousin!"
"You're welcome... Sister,"
Once she was finally released, Elise jumped onto the podium.
"Well what are we waiting for? I believe there's a wedding to be completed!"
Link led the minister, who had been hiding behind him, back to the alter. All the guest returned to their original spots. Before the minister could start over, Elise cut in.
"No offense sir, but for safety reasons, I suggest we skip to the end.
"Right, Prince Rileous..."
"Just Riley sir,"
"Prince Riley, do you take Princes Selenia as your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, for richer or for poor, in sickness and in health, till death you part?"
"I do,"
"Do you, Princess Selenia, take Prince Riley to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, for richer or poor, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"
"I do,"
"Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. Riley, you may kiss the bride,"
Lifting his new wife's veil, Riley kissed Selenia passionately. The two then ran out to waiting carriage, all the while Elise stared at Bloom and Sky who began to kiss, knowing soon, they would also make those vows.
At the reception, after the cake was served, Musa took the mic.
"All right everyone, listen up! The Maid of Honor will now say a few words for the bride and groom!"
Elise jumped to the podium and began speaking.
"I have to say, it's been awhile since I've been surrounded by high class personas at one of these events. But it was my cousin's call for me to see her that dragged me out of the shadows. Selenia, you're more than my cousin, you're my sister, you're funny, loving, wild, and gave me a home when my family turned their backs on me! I love you sis. Now Riley, you and I have known each other for plenty of years. During my childhood, you took care of me, even though my parents hated you! Riley, you're one of the greatest guys I know and I know you'll make my sister happy. I congratulate both of you!"
Everyone cheered and raised their glasses. Elise walked over to Bloom and Sky who were impressed by her words.
"That was a wonderful speech Elise,"
"Thanks Bloom!"
"You do know now you're speaking at our wedding?"
"Of course Sky, but first, I think I could use the Winx's musical talents,"
"Way ahead of you!"
The Winx grabbed their instruments as Elise grabbed the mic again.
"I would like now to sing a song in honor of the newly weds. Selenia, this song is from our childhood and it's for you. My your life be long and happy! Hit it girls!"
Musa played the first notes on the guitar and Elise began singing.

Grew up in a small town
And rain would fall down
I just stare out my window
Dreaming of would could
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray.
Trying hard to reach out
And when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could here me
wanted to belong here
but something felt so wrong here
So I'd pray
I would breakaway
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly!
I'll do what it takes
till I touch the sky
Make a wish
take a chance
make a change
and breakaway!
Out of the darkness and into the sun
but I won't forget
all the ones that I love
I've gotta make wish
take a chance
make a change
and breakaway
Da da da da da
da da da da da
da da da da da
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
feel the rush of the ocean
get on board a fast train
travel on a jet plane
far away
and break away
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes
till I touch the sky
Make a wish
take a chance
make a change
and breakaway
out of the darkness
and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that I love!
Make a wish
take a chance
make a change
and breakaway
Buildings with a hundred door
Each with revolving doors
Baby I don't know it'll take me
but
gotta keep moving on
moving on
fly away
breakaway
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
though it's not easy to tell you good-bye
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
make a change
and breakaway
Out of the darkness
and into the sun
but I won't forget
the place I come from
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And Breakaway
Breakaway
Breakaway
Everyone cheered as the bride hugged the wolf.
"Thank you, little sister,"
"You're welcome, now get out of here!"
Giving her one last hug, Selenia and Riley ran to the carriage awaiting them. Before she left, she through the bouquet. Surprisingly, it was Musa who caught it. Celeste grinned.
"Good luck Riven!"
As the rest laughed, Bloom walked to her guardian.
"You did good Elise,"
"Family looks out for one another,"
"I'm proud of you,"
"You know, this is gonna be you pretty soon,"
"And I wouldn't have a better Maid of Honor,"
As fireworks went off, Bloom and Elise shared a hug.
