The room was alive with energy as fairies flitted around with hushed whispers, each one trying to work faster than the other. A warm breeze blew in, sending the gold sheer curtains blowing while the rays of the sun managed to pour into the room.
On a pedestal stood a girl no older than eighteen dressed in a beautiful light pink off the shoulder tulle ball gown with a long pastel pink tulle cape that had small sparkly pink flowers on it. The bodice was adorned with countless pink diamonds and Swarovski crystals and the smallest of pink flowers while the skirt sparkles and flows perfectly. Her heels glittered with their crystal-like quality, rivaling Cinderella's famous glass slippers.
The girl smiled at her reflection in the large mirror as the fairies flew around her in a rushed manner, applying sparkling pink fairy dust to the dyed parts of her blonde hair. She watched as they picked up a luxurious diamond necklace and placed it on her while a few others lifted up the diamond crown that had been sitting on its own velvet pillow. The fairies seemed to struggle with the crown a bit, possibly due to their incredibly small size, but eventually laid it atop her perfectly styled hair. To finish the look, two separate teams of fairies each lifted up a single diamond earring before putting them in.
They all began to back away before one let out an alarmed high-pitched yell. "The veil!" The fairy quickly zipped towards a fancy box before pulling out a long white lace veil with pink flower petals on it.
The girl tilted her head, prompting several fairies to charge forward and begin securing her crown again. Watching as the little fairy struggled with the veil, she held her palms open and caught the fairy as it made it over. She smiled at the fairy before giggling. "Are you okay?" She asked, seeing the fairy brush her dress off while holding onto the veil.
"Yes, I am quite alright. Thank you, princess." The fairy said with a bright smile as a couple of other fairies assisted her with the veil. Together they managed to place it atop her head without much trouble, adjusting it with their magic that they had only recently gained back.
The princess closed her eyes as she remembered the day that the King and Queen overturned the no magic law. It was one of the first acts Mal did and the fairy community rejoiced that day as they too had been restricted by the law. Thanks to Mal, and a rather good argument, Auradon was free to exercise magic as long as it was not used for nefarious purposes. Of course, there was a force set in place, her soon-to-be wife had decided to take up the mantle and called herself 'De Facto Leader' of the entire force...She wasn't sure if the woman was actually the leader or not, Mal hadn't made the announcement yet...But the goddess certainly seemed happy about it.
A firm knock on the door brought the princess out of her thoughts and she stepped off the pedestal, causing the fairies to fly after her while looking at the various flowers attached to her gown. As she reached the door it suddenly opened on its own to reveal a very regal looking Mal.
Mal tilted her head and leaned over, looking at the many fairies with a raised eyebrow. "I see someone has a way with the fairies." She commented, watching as they flitted about and followed the princess when she moved.
The blonde nodded and laced her fingers together. "Heidi only wants the best, she's been going wild with the luxuries ever since you overturned the no magic rule." She gestured towards the grand suite she was in. "Such as a magical room for me to get ready in."
Mal nodded, glancing around at the rather luxurious room with its marble floors, gold accents, and shimmering walls. It greatly resembled a grand room one would find in Olympus, especially with its magnificent pillars and glowing orbs used as lanterns. "Yeah...I was going to ask what was going on with this room. Looks like she pulled it straight out of Olympus…" She rubbed her chin. "Did she do it?"
The princess smiled back as she returned to her pedestal, admiring herself in the mirror. "Heidi? She did, well, she rented out the room and converted it before deciding it would be better to just buy the resort." She giggled at the thought. "Now we own a resort, apparently."
Mal blinked before she playfully smirked. "Looks like I'll be contacting you for the venue for our wedding. I'll be sure to get the information afterward." She glanced around the room once more before turning back towards the door. "I will see you then, Audrey."
Audrey waved her off as the purplette quietly closed the door, leaving the princess to nothing but the soft sounds of fairy wings fluttering around her while they prepped her. She let out a shaky sigh and shook her hands, attempting to rid herself of the jitters. Despite the fact that she had always dreamed of this day, hoped that it would come...she was nervous. Terribly so.
The princess fiddled with the fabric of her dress as she noticed the fairies begin to apply her makeup using their magic. It always amazed her to see the little beings so happy once again, for they were once greatly saddened by Fairy Godmother's act to leave magic in the past. It was if they had left a portion of their soul in their magical home they were forced to abandon. It truly was a surprisingly dark past that all of Auradon learned when it came in regards to the magic and Audrey sometimes found herself questioning why magic was even banned in the first place.
The blonde was pulled out of her thoughts as she felt the veil being pulled over her face, a sign that the ceremony was to begin soon. Audrey closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself before she opened them to smile at herself. "You can do this…" She murmured, lacing her fingers together as a large bouquet of multicolored roses with small diamonds appeared in her hands.
She exhaled through her nose as she heard the door open and a surprisingly dressed up Hades walked in. He was wearing a black slightly distressed suit that had spikes on the collar along with a pair of black dress shoes. The god whistled at the room before smirking at the princess. "We got all the gods and few humans in and settled, except for Dionysus and Thor who is being handled by Heidi at the moment. Apparently, those Asgardians like to crash weddings...as in actually crash into them. She barely made him crash elsewhere and what do you know, he has gifts from everyone in Asgard." He shook his head with a slight look of exasperation. "You'd never think it was the blonde musclehead who was the wedding freak."
Audrey looked at him in amusement. "Hello, Hades." She said warmly, looking up at the man with a smile. Over the past month, she has grown quite close to the god who she had formerly thought of as insane. Ever since she accepted Heidi's 'proposal', Hades had been unusually nice to her. Considering it as a sign, Audrey did her best to be nice back...and found it extremely easy for some reason. Especially when he explained what had actually happened when he zapped his daughter into a coma. Knowing that it was a mistake, and the fact that he was highly concerned over it, made Audrey see him in a new light...Not as a maniacal god, but as a loving father.
Hades smiled back at her as he saw her stride towards him before bringing him into a gentle hug while keeping ahold of the bouquet. "I have to say, my daughter is an excellent designer." He said once she pulled away. "I take it she designed all of this?"
"Even the room," Audrey responded back with a soft giggle.
Hades laughed and looked at the grand room. "I knew this looked like her handy work, or rather my handy work. She gets her interior designing from yours truly." He said while gesturing to himself.
Audrey held her hand over her mouth to hide her wide smile before letting it fall back down. "Hades?" The god stopped looking around and turned his attention to her. "I...have to thank you for standing in…" She took a deep breath. "I did not think my family would…"
Hades patted her gently on the arm. "Don't worry about it, kid. I know how that feels...Besides, if I don't get to walk my own daughter down the aisle because she's stubborn the least I can do is walk her bride." He said with a gentle tone before a crooked smile appeared on face. "Word to the wise, if your family didn't give a damn to take time to show up to your wedding, don't give them a damn when you can't show up to their events. Don't apologize, just give 'em a shit-eating smile."
Audrey felt a laugh bubble out at his rather smart advice and lack of filter. She had long since grown used to his way of speech, it was hard not to when he spent much of the past month crashed on their couch, and was no longer bothered by it. "Thank you, Hades. I'll be sure to keep that in mind."
Hades gave her a wink before offering her his arm. "No need to keep the fidgety goddess waiting. She can't wait to see you." He snapped his fingers and adjusted the veil so it was just perfect. "Not to mention I don't know how long we can keep hundreds of gods, demigods, and humans in their seats. The gods especially-I think some just came for the food." He said the last part in a hushed whisper before snickering. "Anyway, shall we?"
Audrey stepped off her pedestal as she saw the fairies all flitter off and out of the room. Making sure she wasn't stepping on anything, her dress was already creating quite the precarious situation, she smiled at her soon-to-be father-in-law and linked her arm with his. "We shall." She said, the tiny twinkles in her eyes seeming to sparkle as she was led out of the room.
….
The blue-haired woman straightened her black bowtie for what could only be the hundredth time as she bit her lip and looked about the grandiose room that was filled to the brim with gods, demigods, and humans. She nervously kept playing with the bottom of her black tuxedo jacket despite the deadpan she was receiving from her sister who was right up front along with Ben, Carlos, Evie, Jay, Gil, Hadie, and Uma.
"Heidi...HEIDI!" A sudden annoyed-sounding telepathic message came searing through the goddess's head causing her to cringe before shooting a sharp look at the person responsible.
"Mal. For goodness sake would you not screech in my head while I am trying not to panic?" Heidi asked back, her telepathic voice ringing heavily with irritation.
Mal rolled her eyes as Ben looked between them in a tad of confusion. "Calm down and breathe. You are more twitchy than dad when he is annoyed. You're acting like she is gonna say no or something-And don't worry about any objections...Her family didn't show up." The elegant looking purplette thought as she laid her hands on top of each other.
Heidi averted her eyes at the last part. She didn't expect Audrey's family to not attend...not whatsoever. "I...I feel bad that we got everybody-" Her thoughts were brought to a crashing halt when she heard the music beginning to play and the sound of somebody landing behind her prompted her to turn around.
Lo and behold...Hermes was standing there...in a tux!
Heidi blinked before a frown appeared on her face. "Hermes!" She said in a hushed whisper, eyes glowing blue in irritation.
Hermes gave her a sly smirk. "At your service." He said, doing a twirl midair as he inadvertently showed off his white tuxedo with a gold flower tucked into the tuxedo pocket while his odd gold-colored dress shoes shimmered under the noon sun.
Before she could ask what he was doing up there with her, the sudden standing of countless beings made her turn to face the aisle lined with white and pink roses. Her eyes locked onto the flower arch...and her heart stopped at the sight.
It was a beyond enchanting sight that had captivated the bluenette...The sight of the already beautiful princess donning a gorgeous pink wedding ball gown adorned with countless flowers. The almost diamond-like glass heels sparkled and glittered under the rays of light with each step she took. Her perfect blonde hair fell in all the right locations and the pink streaks shimmered and practically glowed with magic.
Heidi's jaw fell open and stayed open as her father led Audrey down the aisle. She didn't even notice the amused look on her father's face while she slowly watched the beautiful bride reach the pedestal the goddess was standing on with Hermes. She was vaguely aware of the silent snicker from the blue-haired god
Behind her veil, Audrey had the biggest smile while her pink eyes seem to glow. She let out a breathy giggle as she saw the bouquet lift up from her hands to float by her side. Looking back at the stunned goddess, she gave her a small wave. "H-Hey." She whispered, her cheeks glowing red once she noticed the woman's eyes trailing over her.
It took a few seconds for the goddess to snap out of it and she blinked before giving the girl a small finger wave of her own. "...Hey." She whispered the greeting back, the golden flecks flickering brightly with emotion as the music slowed to a stop.
Floating above them, Hermes smiled before looking out at the incredibly large amount of attendees. "Gods, goddesses, demigods, and humans, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Heidi and Audrey." He said in a grandiose way, prompting a few gods to stare at him. "And yes I do have a license to do this." At this comment, many of the gods let out a chuckle while the humans blinked at him in surprise.
Once the blonde god lowered a bit, he folded his hands behind his back as a book appeared in front of him and floated. "Today is the beginning of an eternal journey for this couple! Drawing on their mutual admiration, respect, and trust, they are ready to embark on the next chapter in their lives. We celebrate the love and light evident in their relationship, and wish them well on this joyous occasion." He snapped the book shut. "A union between a god and human is an incredibly special occasion, one that is to be remembered for a long time. This union is no different and I believe for many of us it is truly one of a kind." Several of the gods smiled at his comment while Hades' eyebrow twitched, a clear sign that his 'tough dad' mask was slipping.
Hermes tossed the book over his head in a comedic manner before floating high up into the air. "While I know that none of you are going to do this, especially with this couple, I have to say it." He clapped his hands together and gestured widely. If anyone has cause to object to the forming of this union, speak now or forever hold your peace." He looked around with a grin. "Anyone? No?" When he got enough head shakes and a few thumbs down, he let out a chuckle. "Alright, now that we got that out of the way-let us move on." He zipped back down to the two women and smiled.
Heidi smiled at him before slowly taking Audrey's hands and beginning to rub them. Audrey looked down at their joined hands before tightening her hold on Heidi's in silent reassurance.
Hermes looked at the two of them with a grin. "Ladies...I trust you two both came up with some personalized vows?"
Heidi chuckled and nodded. "You know it." Her comment made a few of the people in the audience laugh before the goddess beamed at her blushing bride. "Seeing as I am the one who spoke up...I'll go first." She took a deep breath and rubbed the back of Audrey's hand. "Audrey...The moment I stepped out of that limo and laid eyes on you...I knew you were by far one of the most beautiful individuals I've seen in my, admittingly, long life." She let out a soft chuckle, prompting Audrey to giggle at that while her blush seemed to double. "Then I find out you were my roomie? I was wondering what force made that one happen because it seemed that I was fated to meet you. I always questioned what powerful force could have led me to you...be it fate or destiny, but I am glad it did. I had never once met someone before you that didn't want to immediately date me...and...it made me realize just how special you are. From that day forward you have always been on my mind...and from now on you shall be the only one in here…" She gestured to her heart. "And in here." She lifted her hand to her head. "Because you are the only one I want to live forever with."
Audrey was glad that she had magical makeup on by the end of that, mainly due to the tears that were streaming down her cheeks. Hearing the soft awws from the crowd and even Hermes muttering a "Not gonna cry", she smiled and looked up at the taller goddess. "Heidi, I have to say...from the day I almost slammed my dorm room door in your face...I never thought I would be up here with you getting married." Her words made Heidi laugh a bit while the VKs and Ben in the front one laughed as well. "I could never envision doing this with anyone else, not anymore. You were there when I was down, when I was alone, and when I needed someone to pull me out of the darkness. You are my savior, my love, and my goddess...the only one who has been with me even in spirit." Her hands tightened around Heidi's as she felt a warm aura being expelled from the goddess. "I don't ever want to leave you...even if that means going to one side of the world and back. If Hell wasn't so nice now you know I'd walk through the fires just to reach you." At this Heidi snorted a bit while various gods laughed. "I will do anything for you and anything with you...because this once broken-hearted princess loves you, you big teddy bear."
Heidi's smile seemed to triple at the nickname as she heard even more awws from the crowd. "Teddy Bear? Okay, that one is pretty good." She said with a laugh before they both looked at Hermes.
Hermes, who had recovered from his moment of emotion, smiled at both of them before chuckling. "Seeing as you two are handsy enough-I'm going straight to it." He said with amusement before lacing his hands together. "Heidi, do you take Audrey as your beloved Wife, to have and to hold, through laughter and in sadness, through challenges and successes, till the end of time?"
Heidi looked Audrey straight in the eye and nodded. "I do."
Hermes looked at the princess who was blushing as bright as a tomato now. "Audrey, do you take Heidi as your beloved Wife, to have and to hold, through laughter and in sadness, through challenges and successes, till the end of time?"
Audrey let out a breathy chuckle and nodded as well. "I do."
The god snapped his fingers and a red velvet pillow holding two rings appeared. "And now for the rings, you ladies know which one belongs to one another, I know you do." He said with a grin, watching as Heidi gave him a momentary deadpan before picking up a silver-colored ring with countless diamonds and a beautiful red diamond heart on the center with two smaller ones on the side.
Audrey smiled at the god and gently plucked a black metallic wedding band with a blue interior ring before tilting her head. After a moment of the two questioning who went first, Audrey let out a chuckle and slipped the band on Heidi's ring finger. "There…" She whispered quietly, watching the interest enter the goddess's eyes before they flickered up.
Heidi smiled back before carefully slipping the beautiful ring onto Audrey's ring finger. She took a moment to admire it before taking Audrey's hands in her own again.
Hermes, upon noticing they were done, grinned before floating a bit higher. "And by the power invested by me, thanks to some handy classes, I now pronounce you wife and wife!" He paused, not appearing to notice the smirks on everyone's faces. "Or would it be goddess and wife...Wait no…"
Heidi rolled her eyes and shook her head. "And by the power vested in me, thanks to me being the buddy of this talkative guy, I may now kiss the bride!" She announced before lifting Audrey's veil and bringing the blonde into a kiss, sending everyone into laughter before cheering while Hermes gaped at the fact that he hadn't gotten to say that part.
Upon pulling away, the princess was suddenly engulfed in a light so bright that many of the gods gasped with one even teleporting away immediately. The light spun around her in ribbons before the ribbons increased in speed until the finally crashed into her and caused her entire body to begin glowing while her hair turned a baby pink.
Heidi's eyes widened as she reached out to catch the surprised princess. "Woah...Audrey...Y-You look...amazing." She breathed out, taking a moment to stare into the stunned eyes of her new wife.
Audrey's eyes appeared to gain small sparkling flecks to them from the abrupt transformation while her pink hair grew a bit longer and she somehow looked even more beautiful. The princess now turned goddess, blinked a few times as she was steadied by the bluenette. "W-What was that?"
Hermes zipped down while a few of the gods began teleporting away, probably to find the food, though most of them seemed genuinely curious by the new goddess's rather flashy transformation. The god rubbed his chin in thought as the two women looked at him. "That is what happens when a human or mortal marries a god or goddess, you get ascended to their level and will remain that way so long as you are married to them. As for the especially bright part...I might have to consult Athena on that one." He said with a confused look before he shrugged and faced the crowd. "Anyway, gods, goddesses, demigods, and humans, I give you Mrs. and Mrs…" He paused and looked down at them. "Last name?"
Heidi and Audrey shared a look before they both smirked. "Rose." They said in almost perfect unison.
Hermes raised an eyebrow before looking back at the crowd. "Mrs. and Mrs. Rose!" He announced, sending the crowd into a cheer while he looked confused. "Why does it sound so...off?" He asked himself as he floated a bit higher.
The newlyweds let out a laugh before stopping as the wedding march began playing...in rock mode. As in rock concert mode. The bluenette blinked and looked down at Audrey. "I...Have no idea why that is playing."
Audrey giggled and pointed at something off to the side, or someone, in this case. "I do. Looks like Hades wanted to play the wedding march on his guitar." She said, noticing the comically headbanging god whose electric guitar was hooked up to some speakers while a few demons played other instruments.
Heidi let out a surprised laugh as the floating bouquet landed back in Audrey's hands. "Of course my dad had to leave his own little mark." She said in amusement as she saw rose petals beginning to float up into the air while the tiny fairies cheered from their seats on the countless roses lining the aisle.
Audrey giggled once more before beginning to lead Heidi back up the aisle, watching as she saw a beautiful white chariot drawn by two golden pegasi land on the green grass. She gazed up at her new wife in amazement. "A chariot? Why would we need a chariot?" She asked, taken by surprise at the idea of riding in a flying chariot.
Heidi smiled, clearly happy at the fact that Audrey had no idea where they were going for the reception. "Because we need to fly to reach our next destination, Princessa." She said with glowing eyes and a playful look causing the princess to look at her in curiosity.
Before they reached the rose-lined arch at the end of the aisle, Audrey looked at her bouquet before grinning. "I almost forgot…" She said aloud, pulling her hand out of Heidi's. "I've always imagined doing this."
Heidi blinked before a matching grin appeared on her face and she whipped around. "She's throwing the bouquet early!" She announced with a laugh, prompting countless females to gasp, along with a few men, and immediately pour into the rather large aisle.
Audrey glanced at Heidi who gave her the thumbs up before the pinkette nodded and smiled. Taking a breath, she readied herself before tossing it high into the air. Whipping around, she gasped when she saw it bounce off of one hand and over the other before finally landing in one 's hands...The one being they were never supposed to land in, especially considering how far off to the side they were.
Heidi bellowed in laughter while several goddesses and other women's jaws dropped at the person who was holding the bouquet. "DAD?!" She howled with laughter as she saw the surprised look on her father's face. "Well, I guess we know who's getting hitched next!" She exclaimed, prompting her father to let out a yell before tossing it back into the crowd of women where it continued to bounce off of their hands before eventually landing in Mal's...which was rather fitting.
Audrey shook her head in amusement as she saw Hades turn an angry red when Hermes zipped over to him before the older god promptly tackled Hermes and practically throttled him. "And they say that the person who catches the bouquet will be getting married soon...I wonder if it's wrong." She said with a thoughtful hum as she took Heidi's hand again.
Heidi shrugged as she smiled and glanced back at her father. "Who knows? Love is a strange thing. It can come at the most unexpected time and to the most unsuspecting individuals." She let out a low chuckle. "Maybe one day he will find that special someone."
Audrey's eyes softened at the thought as they stepped into the chariot. "You think so?" She asked, letting out a quiet gasp when the horses neighed and took off into the sky.
Heidi nodded and held her new wife closer. "Yeah...After all-" She allowed a smile to appear on her face and looked down at the pinkette. "-If we were able to do this, my father finding that special one should be a piece of cake." Her words brought a smile to Audrey's face and the princess closed her eyes with a soft happy sigh as they rose higher and higher into the clouds.
…
Hey guys! So there is a part two of this that I am currently working on. The crossover fic is being finished up when this goes up and the fourth arc is going to be worked on soon. I do have a few announcements. The fourth arc of this fic is going to be a continuation of the crossover (time skip of course) and I was wondering if anyone wanted to see an alternate version that did not feature that much crossover madness. It would be written after the crossover version was finished and would be attached to this fic as it focuses on Audrey and Heidi moreso than the crossover version. I'd love to hear any responses for that-especially considering that I am on the fence about it.
Now for other things. I will be coming up with more one-shots for my one-shot fic that surround the now married Audrey and Heidi. These will be filling up that time gap between this and the fourth arc and I highly recommend reading them once they are up.
I think that is everything, hopefully, so all I have to say is...REVIEW!
PS: Don't be afraid to voice ideas for who I should throw at Hades, as in pairing wise. He did catch that bouquet and you know what that means...
