Hey, it's me! I'm back! Not much to say, Friday was the last day of school, and I made a dance team at the new school I'll be going to… So here's to summer vacation people!
Me: I do not own PJO any characters associated with it, or any songs I use in this chapter. Well enjoy chapter 21!
Previously: We got home, and I changed into a tee shirt and pajama shorts, and I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
I woke up the next morning at 6 am. I was so excited about doing everyone's makeup for the wedding. I am really good, working with cosplay makeup. I walked into the pink guest room, which one was for any of my female friends that stayed the night… I walked in and woke up Abie and Hexxe, after that I walked into the blue room, where male guests stayed the night. I woke up Nico, and told him to go into my room with the girls. Once he was up, I woke up my brothers and told them the same thing. Then I went to Mom and Dad's room, and woke them as well. After that, everyone was in my room.
"Okay, who wants to go first?" I asked no one in particular.
"I'll go!" Hexxe offered. I supposed she was new to this, so she wanted to get the experience over with. Everyone had left their costumes in my closet, so I went into my closet, and grabbed her robe, blonde hair dye, her boots, a pair of green contacts and hair cement.
"Ok, everyone else, please go wait in the living room?" I asked politely.
"Of course dear, work your magic!" Mom said, ushering everyone out of the room.
"K," I replied. I had my own bathroom, so dying her hair wouldn't be a big problem.
"Ok, So, we're gonna dye you're hair, please step into my bathroom," I told her.
"Ok," she replied walking into the bathroom. She wet her hair, and I applied the hair dye to it, and put it into a hair cap. Once this was done we waited for the dye to set, and then we rinsed her hair. She looked in the mirror at her wet hair.
"Whoa," she gasped.
"Different?" I asked, knowing the answer.
"Yeah, when will it wash out?" she asked me.
"It's temporary so it'll wash out tonight in the shower," I replied.
"Oh, ok," she said.
"Yeah, so could you please sit here?" I asked her. She nodded and sat in the chair, and then I blow-dried her hair. After that I told her it was ok to get into her costume. She put the robe and boots on, and then sat back down. I used the hair cement to style the two antennae like pieces of hair. Once this was done, I faced her towards me, and did her makeup, which was pretty much her base, and I told her to put her contacts in. She did, and she looked exactly like Larxene, she stood up, and I gave her the replicas of Larxene's throwing knives that I made her out of cardboard and tin foil. Once I gave her these, she looked in the mirror to see the finished product.
"I look amazing!" she exclaimed.
"Did you doubt my totally awesome power?" I asked her. She chuckled and shook her head opening my bedroom door.
"Oh, don't go to the living room, go to the pink room ok?" I told her. She nodded and went to said room as I went to the living room to hunt out my next victim.
"Ok, who wants to go next?" I asked. Soon, Ashton stood up. I took him into my room and went to my closet to grab his costume, robe, boots, contacts and red dye. I took him into my bathroom and repeated the dying process with him, blow dried his hair, sculpted it into various spikes like Axel has, told him to put in his green contacts, and put some makeup on him, base and those two little triangles. He got into his costume, and I gave him the replica chakrams and sent him off to the blue room. Once again I walked into the living room.
"Next?" I asked. Abie stood this time. I took her to my room and went to my closet to grab her costume, robe, white dress, sandals, sketchbook, contacts and blonde dye. I led her to my bathroom and did the dying process again, blow dried her hair, and told her to change into her costume, and then I gave her the blue contacts to put in. I did her makeup, and sent her to the pink room, with Hexxe. I walked back to the living room.
"Next?" I asked. Nick stood this time. I took him to my room and went to my closet to grab his costume, robe, boots, contacts and blonde dye. I led him to my bathroom and did the dying process yet again, blow dried his hair, and told him to change into her costume, and then I gave him the blue contacts to put in. I did his hair, spiking it up with the hair cement I already had out, then I gave him the replicas of the Kingdom Key and Oath keeper and oblivion I made. After this I sent him to the blue room with Ashton. Again I walked into the living room.
"Next?" I asked. Mom stood this time. I took her to my room and went to my closet to grab her costume, pink dress, lavender converse, red hair dye and blue contacts. I led her to my bathroom and did the dying process again, blow dried her hair, and told her to change into her costume, and then I gave her the blue contacts to put in. I gave her a replica of the Destiny's Embrace Keyblade and then I did her makeup, and sent her to the pink room, with the other girls. I walked back to the living room yet again.
"Next?" I asked. Dad stood this time. I took him to my room and went to my closet to grab his costume, black and yellow Tripp pants, and sneakers, and a blue and black shirt. I led him to my and since his hair didn't need to be dyed just did his makeup, sculpted his hair into random spikes like Sora's, and told ihm to put his costume on, and contacts in. after that, I gave him another replica of the Kingdom Key, and sent him to the blue room. I walked back into the living room to find only Nico standing there.
"Ok, you're the last one," I told him, leading him to my room. I went to my closet to grab his costume, black and blue Tripp pants, black sneakers and a black and blue shirt. I sculpted his hair into random spikes like Sora and Anti-sora have, and told him to put his costume on. He did, and then I did his makeup, which consisted of yellow full eye contacts, and black body paint on everything not covered with clothes. After that was done, I gave him the replica of the Shadow Kingdom Key that I had made for him. Once he had that, I sent him to the blue room. Once he was gone, I started to work on my own costume, I put on my black and purple dress, and my black converse, and tied them like Kairi normally does, after that, I dyed my hair with the black dye, and I blow dried it. Once that was done, I decided to do my makeup, so I painted all my showing skin black with the same body paint that I used on Nico. After that was done, I put in my full eye yellow contacts and picked up my Shadow Destiny's Embrace Keyblade. I walked into the pink room and told all of them to go into the living room and then did the same with the blue room. I grabbed the CD and went into the living room and everyone was in awe at each other's costumes.
"I think we did well," I stated.
"I do too honey, now lets go get into the van," Mom said. With that said, we piled into the van, I sat with Nico, Abie sat with Nick, and Hexxe and Ashton sat together. Mom and Dad occupied the front seats. We buckled our seatbelts and were off to camp for the ceremony, after the wedding, Mom and Dad were going on a honeymoon, and the kids would stay at camp for the rest of the summer. I fell asleep on the ride so it went by fairly quickly… I woke up and we were at camp. We got out of the van and walked up to the crest of the hill, towards Thalia's pine. There we found Chiron waiting for us. I found a CD player hidden near the trunk of the tree, and I popped the CD in, and told Chiron to press play. Everyone from camp was sitting in the audience, and Apollo and Demeter both came too. Chiron pressed play, and I walked down the isle with Mom on her left side, and Ash was on her right, Dad was waiting at the crest with Chiron and Nick to his right. Behind me, came Hexxe, and then Abie, behind Ash was Nico. Nick had one ring, and I had the other, once Mom made it to Dad she stopped and stood at Chiron's other side, Hexxe came after her, then Abie and after her me. I shut off the CD player as the boys got in line as well, Dad, Ashton, Nick and then Nico.
"Who gives this woman away today?" Chiron asked. Ashton and I stepped out of line and answered respectively.
"Her son," Ashton started.
"And her daughter," I finished. Chiron nodded and continued in the repeating of the vows.
"May I have the rings?" he asked. Once again I stepped out of line, this time Nick stepped out of the other line; we gave Chiron the rings for our respective parents. He held them up, and gave them to the other to put on each other's fingers. They did as so.
"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride," Chiron ended the ceremony. They kissed and I started the music up again for track two to exit to. We exited in our cosplay pairs, and headed towards the Big House for the reception. We made it, and Chiron came in with the CD player.
"Now the bride and her daughter will share a dance," Chiron said. "Mama's Song" by Carrie Underwood came on, and my mom and I danced together.
"Now the groom will share a dance with his new stepdaughter," stated Chiron. After that, I danced with Dad to "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle. Once this was done, I left the dance floor, and Mom stepped back on.
"At this time the bride will share a dance with her son," Chiron announced. Ashton came onto the floor then, and he and Mom danced to "Always the Love Songs" by Eli Young Band. Once they were done, Ash stepped off the floor.
"Now, the bride will share a dance with her new stepson," Chiron said. Nick walked onto the floor, and danced with Mom to "Let Me down easy" by Billy Currington. Once they were finished dancing Dad stepped onto the dance floor, and Nick left, and came to sit with the rest of us. Mom and Dad didn't know what songs I had chosen, so I was looking forward to seeing their faces when they heard them.
"Now the bride and groom will share their first two dances as man and wife," Chiron announced happily, knowing that all his announcing would be done. Dad and Mom got into a waltz stance. It was pretty ironic, seeing video game characters about to waltz… then the song "My Baby Loves Me" by Martina McBride started playing, Mom looked at me, and her eyes watered, knowing I had edited the CD. She quickly switched into a two step position opposed to the waltz.
Don't need no copy of vogue magazine
Don't need to dress like no
Beauty Queen
High heels or sneakers
He don't give a damn
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am
He never tells me I'm not good enough
Just give me unconditional love
He loves me tender and he loves me mad
He loves me silly and he loves me sad
He thinks I'm pretty, he thinks I'm smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
He's always sayin' he's my biggest fan
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am
When there's dark clouds in my eyes
He just sits back and lets 'em roll on by
Come in like a lion go out like a lamb
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am
He thinks I'm pretty, he thinks I'm smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
He's always sayin' he's my biggest fan
My baby loves me just the way that I am
He thinks I'm pretty, he thinks I'm smart
He likes my nerve and he loves my heart
Don't see no reason to change my plan
My baby loves me just the way that I am
My baby loves me just the way that I am
After that song was over. The next and last track on the CD "She Don't Know She's Beautiful" by Sammy Kershaw started, and Dad looked at me, wondering how I somehow knew his favorite song. I just laughed and watched them two step again…
We go out to a party somewhere
The moment we walk in the door
People stop and everybody stares
She don't know what they're staring for
She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so
There she goes just walking down the street
And someone lets a whistle out
A girl like her she just can't see
What the fuss is all about
And she don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so
Morning comes and her hair's all a mess
That's when she thinks she looks her worst
It's times like this she don't know why
I can't take my eyes off her
'Cause she don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her
She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her
She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so
Once that was over, they separated and took a bow, leading everyone to cheer for the happy couple… A few more songs played and everyone got up and danced with their dates, which left me dancing with Nico all night, and all summer too for that matter….
Ok, so that was chap 21, next up will be the epilogue, I hope you enjoyed the wedding, and the dances… its late, and I'm gonna get some rest. Peace out, review, and keep reading!
