As promised, here is the reception chapter! :)
I hope you enjoy!
The croud continued to applaud as the couple kissed. Queen Clarion stood in the front row on the left with Lord Milori and by now she was holding back tears. After everything her children had been through, they really now were grown up. Now, her eldest son was married to a very special and beautiful fairy. Clarion gave in and let a tear roll down her cheek. Milori beamed as he pulled his wife into his arms and passionatly kissed her. The Minister of Spring watched from a few chairs down the row and sighed.
"Oh, come on Hyacinth! It's not the end of the world!" The Minister of Winter laughed. "Be happy for Ree! It's not like you had a chance anyway."
"Hm..." The Minister muttered.
Princess Clarity beamed as Tristan aproached her and took her hands in his own. He smiled back and both fairies happily watched Agua and Milagro.
"You know, Clarity," Tristan whispered "Agua is your sister now."
"I know." Clarity smiled "And I'm glad that she is."
Fairies began to settle and the clapping stopped. The Keeper was on the verge of tears as he watched the young couple holding hands and smiling in glee.
"To the ballroom!" he called across the lake and fairies and sparrowman began to fly.
The ballroom was a large room that was often used for celebrations in Pixie Hollow. It had been decorated with balloons and streamers different shades of blue and pink. The two columns in the ballroom had been covered with flowers, all different shades and colours.
Agua gasped as she walked into the large room, her arm linked with Milagro's. She had helped choose the colour scheme but never had she imagined the outcome would be as beautiful as it was.
"This is incredible, Milagro!" Agua giggled.
"We shall have to personally thank the decorating fairies later." Milagro smiled.
"Good idea." she replied, resting her head on his shoulder as they walked further into the room. Queen Clarion and Lord Milori followed behind them.
"I've never seen either Agua or Milagro so happy before." Clarion whispered to Milori. "Although, true love is a powerful thing."
"Indeed." Milori chuckled "So powerful that I can't help but do this-"
"What?" Clarion frowned in confusion until she felt a pair of cold lips on her own. Oh, Milori!
"Have I ever told you just how much you mean to me, Ree?" Milori whispered.
"I believe you have." Clarion softly chuckled. "I love you, Milori."
"I love you more, Clarion." Milori smiled "I love you more than you could possibly ever understand."
After an hour, couples began to gather on the dance floor. Tables lined the outskirts of the dance floor and Queen Clarion and Lord Milori sat together at a table at the side of the room.
"Ree, they're about to play a slow song." Milori smiled "Would you care to dance?"
"Milori, I doubt that is a sensible idea. Your injury might cause you pain." Clarion reminded him.
"Clarion, it would pain me more to see you miss out." he looked deeply into her eyes. "Please,"
"Very well." Clarion gave in, allowing a smile form on her face as she helped Milori stand without his crutches.
Milagro smiled as he offered Agua his hand.
"Would you care to dance, my lady?" he chuckled. Agua softly nodded as she took his hand and he led the way to the dance floor. The large room was then filled with the sound of the slow song.
"Princess?" Tristan teased as he offered his own hand to Clarity. She laughed and dragged him to the dance floor by this arm. Tristan gently wrapped his arms around her waist and Clarity locked her arms around his neck.
"Isn't this great?" Clarity smiled, looking around the room. The lights had been turned off but there was coloured lights glowing inside the room, creating enough light for each fairy to see their sparrowman as they danced.
"Yeah, it is." Tristan agreed. "I wonder how long it took to decorate."
"I don't know. Maybe all morning." Clarity guessed, slightly laughing. There was a pause as Tristan looked deeply into Clarity's shinning brown eyes.
"Clarity, this is a night that I really hope I don't forget." Tristan began "I wanted to wait to ask you this, but I don't think I can wait any longer..." he trailed off, his eyes flickering to the floor.
"What is it?" Clarity asked kindly, trying to settle his nerves. Tristan looked up at Clarity's kind eyes and smiled. Tristan moved closer so their bodies were touching and he pulled a small ring from his pocket.
"Princess," he smiled, dropping his voice to a whisper "Would you do the honour of becoming my wife?"
The music still played and Clarity remainded silent.
"I'm not sure, Tris." she finally replied. Tristan froze, unsure of what to do or say.
"But-"
"Tris, I'm not sure how to say "yes"." Clarity giggled. "What about... WOOOOOO!" she cheered.
"So, that'll be a yes?" Tristan chuckled.
"Definitely yes!" Clarity giggled. "I love you, Tristan. How did you think I could say no to you?"
Both fairies laughed and other fairies stopped and looked at them. Lord Milori glanced at their daughter and saw her screaming in joy.
"Seems to me like we shall have to plan another wedding." Milori chuckled. Clarion looked at him in confusion.
"Pardon?" she asked. Clarion followed his gaze to see her daughter rather excited as Tristan placed the ring onto her finger. "Oh my," she laughed. "You may be right, Milori."
"When am I not right, Clarion?" Milori chuckled. "I always believed that one day you would be in my arms again, and was I right?" he smiled, wrapping his arms tighter around her waist.
"Of course," Clarion beamed. Milori raised his eyebrow, waiting for her to admit defeat. "Very well! You are always right." she admitted with a slight laugh.
The rest of the evening was spent dancing, laughing, kissing and enjoying such a magical occasion were two fairies came together as one. Now that Queen Clarion and Lord Milori are married and have two children, what could possibly happen? And with Princess Clarity now engaged to Tristan and Prince Milagro married to Agua, what could happen? Will it really just be another day for the royal couples?
This may seem like the ending, but really, this is only just the beginning...
And there you have it, folks! Another Day For The Royal Couple has now finished! Done! Forever!
But, that doesn't mean that it's the end for Clarity, Tristan, Agua and Milagro! There is still much more to come in these fairies' lives in the new sequel! Yep, you read that right! I will be creating a sequel! :)
