ANNA's POV
I looked over at my sister who was trying her hardest not to laugh. We were pretty much asking for a death wish with what we were about to do.
It was dawn and we somehow silently, discreetly, without dieing, made our way into our parent's room. We sat right against the foot-board. I made the signs with my fingers.
She nodded while her glowing turquoise eyes sparkled with laughter. I crawled to Natasha's side of the bed and peeked over. They were both snoring silently.
I crawled up on the bed and laid across my mother's legs. "Anna go back to sleep." She mumbled. How she knew it was me I have no idea. "But I can't." I said dramatically.
"The sky's awake. So I'm awake. So we have to play." I said mimicking a little girl voice. "Besides! Its wedding day!" Bri said jumping on Steve. He groaned as the dead weight landed on top of him.
"How long have you been waiting to use that one?" Nat asked her eyes still closed. "Dunno. Since I found out my name was Anna, I suppose." I replied still looking at the ceiling.
"Why are you both up so early?" Steve asked stifling a yawn. I shrugged. "The Internet?"
Brianne smiled. "I fell asleep on a cloud. It was nice until it disappeared from under me and I plummeted down towards my certain death." She chirped.
I nodded. Steve opened one eye and looked at her. She shrugged. "Ok so maybe the plummeting isn't all true. But I did fall asleep on a cloud and it did disappear but it only scared the shit outta me. So yeah, I'm not going back to sleep anytime soon." She explained nonchalantly.
"Ill never get used to that..." Steve mumbled. "Well too bad." I said shaking them. "C'mon. Dad don't you normally go running around this time?" I pouted playfully.
"I don't get up at fucking 4 in the morning." He mumbled.
"Actually, It's 5:30." Brianne corrected.
"Come on. Get up. Get up. Get up." I pleaded poking Natasha in the face. "I am not afraid to incapacitate you Anna." Nat snarled sleepily. I backed off slightly. I knew she had no true intention of hurting me, but she wouldn't be so sympathetic as to put me in my place.
"C'mon Anna. I don't wanna feel the widow's wrath today. Wanna go flying?" She piped up.
I shrugged.
"Don't you dare." Steve said turning over. "Watch us." I said sticking my tongue out at them in a playful manner. We quickly scurried out of the room and up to the room. It was starting to cool off and I shivered at the morning mist.
However Brianne looked at fresh as a peach. Little rain droplets sprinkled down on us and a chilly wind blew.
"Ready?" She asked. I nodded and stepped up on the edge and fell. It had become a common thing between us. We would both dramatically fall from the edge and when were about halfway she would grab my hand and we would fly.
Believe me it scared everyone a good couple of times.
I laughed as we soared through the air as free as an eagle. "Are you excited about the wedding today?" I asked looking over at my sister. She beamed. "Definitely. I loved getting all dressed up and stuff. It helps that I absolutely adore weddings too. It will be awesome that I will be a bridesmaid this time. Last wedding I went too, I was the flower girl" She explained.
I nodded. "Wanna grab some Starbucks?" I offered. She smiled. "Like you even have to ask."
TIME SKIP
We landed back were we started which was at the top of Stark tower. "Hiya birdie!" I chirped as I saw Clint standing on the roof.
"Anna. Aang. What the hell were you doing?" he asked crossing his arms. He had taken the liberty of calling Brie, Aang, and Avatar. It was kinda a thing. An occasional Katara or Ty Lee but yeah.
"Flying, what's it look like dipshit?" I shot back. I was seriously getting tired of people thinking we can't handle ourselves.
"You know your parents don't like it when you double fly. It scares them. You could both get hurt." He reasoned. I snorted. "Like they are scared. Besides Brianne has only dropped me once. But she caught me." I pointed out in exasperation.
His eyes widened. "hey hey hold on! You know that was on accident and it was only because you made me go fly at like midnight. I was like half asleep. Our parents do get scared. They are scared of losing us Anna." She quipped.
I face-palmed and Clint just looked so done with all this flying and bending and shit.
"Let's go down shall we its like what 8? The wedding will start in a little over 5 hours." Brianne suggested, shaking her white and gold tipped wings out before folding them back in.
I stuck my tongue out in concentration as I played Hungry Shark. "Hungry Hungry Shark Shark Hungry Hungry shark. Hungry Hungry Shark Shark Hungry Hungry Shark." Brianne chanted as she watched me play.
I rolled my eyes at Brianne.
The door slammed open and Pepper walked through with a giant smile on her face.
"Alright everyone! The wedding starts in a little less than 4 hours! Lets move!" She exclaimed and ushered us all to our separate areas.
We had gotten our hair and nails done a few days prior so that was one of the few things taken care of.
We had hopped into the car and drove to the banquet hall where the reception and ceremony was being held. As we pulled up to the hall I looked in awe. It loomed over us, its massive pillars surrounding the entrance.
The inside was truly beautiful, exquisite carvings obviously done by hand. Gold accented most of the room with marble flooring and beige walls. Delicate swirls and patterns filled up the walls and ceiling.
We had entered the bridal suite where we would be staying in until the ceremony would begin. "Pepper are you excited?" Brianne asked happily. Pepper beamed. "Of course I am. It's been long enough." She replied.
"Let's start getting ready we-" Natasha was cut off as a sharp knock on the door sounded. I leaped up and opened it to a very cheery blond, a very soft spoken woman and a two small children about the age of 8 or 9.
Pepper squealed and ran to go hug all of them. I was starting to see the resemblance between all of them. Same pale skin, same bright blue eyes and relatively the same hair color.
"Mom! Courtney! Rose! Lily! It's so good to see you." Pepper exclaimed. The hyperactive blond wrapped her sister in a giant hug. "Pep it's been too long. I missed you." She squealed.
"Auntie Pepper!" One of the girls whom I'm assuming was rose, (She had a rose in her hair) squeaked and hugged her. Lily kept staring at me like she was trying to figure me out.
"Girls, these are some of my and Tony's closest friends. This is Natasha and her daughters Brianne and Brietta (read: Anna). Jane, Tony's daughter Sandy, Betty, and Bobbi. This is my mother Emily, My older sister Courtney and her daughters Rose and Lily." She introduced us to her small family.
"Let's start getting ready." I suggested as we were wasting time.
LATER
I twirled around in the mirror. As much as I hate to admit it, I love this dress. It was a halter blood red dress that wrapped at the waist and flowed out until it stopped at my knees. Our makeup was light just some ruby red lipstick and mascara. Our hair differed I had straightened my hair until it was as flat as a pin and it reached down to my shoulder blades.
Everyone had the relatively same dress, except Natasha who was the maid of honor, she had a big gold ribbon around her torso and it was lined with gold. Rose and Lily were the flower girls. Which I thought was ironic.
"Come on out Pepper! We wanna see the dress!" Courtney shouted at the door. The door opened and I audibly gasped.
PAGE BREAK. PAGE BREAK. PAGE BREAK. PAGE BREAK. PAGE BREAK. PAGE BREAK. PAGE BREAK PAGE BREAK. PAGE BREAK. PAGE BREAK. PAGE BREAK. PAGE BREAK.
RYAN'S POV
I let my brown gaze sweep over everyone at the ceremony. I could see some old family friends, Pepper's family, some of Tony's family, famous celebrities, among others. The men were waiting for the bridesmaids to emerge so that they would be able to walk with them before Pepper came out.
I of course would be walking with Anna, and of course there would be some obvious pairings that anyone could have seen coming. Tony was as nervous as hell and I was afraid he would pass out.
"Tony, bro. Calm down." I tried to soothe him but he kept pacing. "You don't know what I'm going through Ryan. I'm freaking out. What if something goes wrong? What if she wants kids. I dunno if I can do this." He panicked.
I rolled my eyes at him.
"Do I have to remind you that we live with three teenage girls? And Ryan?" Clint pointed out. I glared at him. "But I'm only here for the summer. It's sad it's ending soon. I don't want to leave Anna." I said sadly.
Steve glared at me. I rolled my eyes. "Did you forget Sandy is your daughter?" I said to him.
"I sure hope not. That would be weird." A new voice says. We all turn to see Anna and Sandy leading the pack of red and gold clad bridesmaids.
They were all gorgeous. Anna stood out though. How did I get so lucky to have this beautiful girl to be mine? I kissed her hand gently as she came up to me. "My lady." I said with a smirk. "Looking beautiful as always."
I saw a hint of pink covering her cheeks then it quickly faded. She rolled her eyes at me. "Flattery will get you nowhere sweetheart." She pointed out and pecked my cheek.
I could feel her father's gaze scorching the back of my head but I really don't care. He needs to suck it up and roll with it.
"Ryan..." I heard Brianne's voice from behind me. I turned around to she her looking at me with a disapproving gaze. Her arms were crossed over her chest as she tutted. I tried to act innocent with her, but nothing gets past that girl. I swear.
"What?"
She 'sneezed'. "Oh I'm sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit. Be nice." She growled before swiftly walking past me to Pepper's youngest brother Calvin, whom she was paired up with. The Odinson's and Laufeyson's couldn't be here today.
I Heard the music begin to play. I linked arms with Anna and smiled sheepishly. We got in the order that we would walk down the aisle in. The doors open in the ceremony began.
When it was our turn we calmly stepped out and strolled down the aisle smiles plastered on our faces. Everyone looks so happy. It was a good feeling. We sadly had the part once we got to the altar each of us going our designated sides.
Everyone stood up and we turned our attention to the doors. They flew open and we all gasped at the sight.
Anna's POV
Pepper looked absolutely gorgeous. Her dress was a beautiful snow white. It was in the style of a mermaid tail gown beads swirled all on the corset and hemline and train trailed in the back. Her hair was up in a beautiful French twist. She had little to no make up at all and that beautiful face of hers. Just some mascara and some lipgloss she was already looking like a goddess.
Her father had linked arms with his daughter and they probably started strutting down the aisle. Once they reach the altar her father bed her a goodbye and sat down in his seat.
And thus the ceremony began.
Time skip
I had tears of happiness rolling down my face as they said their vows to each other. It was so beautiful. The priest closed his book and looked at the two lovers smiling happily.
"you may now kiss the bride."
Tony and pepper shared a deep passionate kiss and the crowd went wild. The shutters of cameras went off everywhere and when air became an issue they broke apart.
they ran down the aisle with us following behind them. "Who knew weddings could be this happy and fun?" My lovely boyfriend said to me. I giggled wholeheartedly.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
