The wedding reception started right after the big ceremony. The Basco's family ballroom was decorated with gold and bloody red accents. The tables were covered with golden, silk sheets and waiters were serving everybody the most delightful food one could ever imagine. Mostly it was a mix of creole, japanese and italian cuisine to celebrate different origins of the couple. Expensive alcohol was running like the river.
Newlyweds enter the ballroom and the music starts to play by the wedding band.
Demons start to clap for the young couple. It was the time for the first official dance as a married couple.
- I don't really know how to dance this. - The Doe whispered.
- No problem, I will lead you. - Her partner reassured.
The two were now in the middle of the ballroom spinning. Daria flapped her wings a bit and Tony placed her hoove in his hand. The slow melody was enchanting them to dance.
She looked into his eyes. This was her uncle Tony all right, but…
- You know, you look lovely tonight. - Spider smiled and puffed his breast. It feels soft and silky under her hoof.
- Stop, or I would think you are flirting with me. - She chuckled.
- Oh, Satan forbid. But that waiter was cute, don't you think?
- Go for it, Tony. - Daria giggled - this is our wedding night after all. At least one of us should be having sex.
- Oh, I'm not leaving you tonight… - He whispered to her ear. - You know, in case somebody notices anything. - Spider blushed.
The melody was getting slower forcing them to get even closer. The intent of the DJ was clear, they were pressing each other's bodies on the dance floor.
- Nice party… - He said.
- Yeah… - She curled her hair behind her ear.
- Uhm… - He gulped. - But we're still good, right? You know, that kiss…
- It was just for the ceremony. I bet you kissed like this a hundred times. - She stated. - I won't read into it.
When the music speeds up. He spinned her around and leaned her down to the ground to upbeat melody, when they heard a crowd cheering.
Guest start to chant and clap:
- Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
- I guess, we don't have a choice. - He noted.
She turned her head, but nodded.
- I guess, another one is fine...
Anthony closed his eyes and was now ready to kiss Daria again, when he felt a violent push.
Suddenly the couple was broken from each other's arms. A female black spider, the same demon Daria met the other day, took the glass of champagne and threw it into Angel Dust's face.
Demons gasped and Tony frozed from surprise.
- Aunt…
- I Wasn't sure when I saw that demoness during the ceremony itself, but now I am. - Her voice was bitter and cold. - I thought you were different. - Black Widow had tears in her eyes. - But you are just as cruel as your father!
- I… - What was happening? Why the harsh words?
He took a few steps backwards. The idea of him becoming like that monster scared him, but why would she call him that?
The crowd went silent for a second until Alastor steped in to make the female spider leave. He just knew one of his relatives would do something like this! They are all crazy! Good gracious, poor Anthony!
- Please, leave or I would have to use force. - He summoned his shadow puppets to intimidate her.
- Oh, I leave all right. You should be ashamed of yourself! All of you!
Spider lady put her hand on Daria's shoulder.
- Don't give up, ragazza. I'm on your side.
Daria panicked. This was her own fault to spill the beans to a total stranger, and now she only hoped their plan won't suffer for it.
Spider demoness left a ballroom and huffed.
Alastor decided to quickly use his microphone and apologized to guests.
- Well, you know how it is on weddings, what is one without a little fight. Let's just be happy they didn't crush any plates! - He smiled. To his relief the crowd laughed.
- How do you even know my aunt? - Angel Dust asked his new wife. - Care to explain, toots?
- Umm… I need to drink something!
She flew off to the bufet to take a sip of water, except this doesn't taste like water…
As the wedding reception was ending Daria got a little tipsy. Octavia took her to the side to talk. They were standing on the outskirts of the garden when Angel Dust notices this and decides to go after her.
- Ok, I got no chance to tell you what I wanted cause you were so busy all the time, but for Satan's sake, What do you two think you're doing!?
- Relax, it's not that serious!
- Not that serious!? You're married to a dick hungry slut and it's not that serious?! Believe me, my mom tried it once and they both miserable! He will cheat on you the first chance he gets! - The owlettet yelled at her friend. - That spider lady was right stepping in! This whole day is one big mistake!
- Hey! - Tony couldn't help being a bit insulted. - We'll be nothing like Stalla and Stolas. For once, we don't plan to have kids.
- Or sex! - Daria hicked. Her cheeks get rosy.
- Wait, what..? - Tavi looked at them suspiciously.
- Nothing! - Angel tries to silence his bride. He didn't want to deal with Alastor so soon.
But Daria's tongue got loose already.
- Yeah, it's a fake marriage anyway, we will get divorce right after we get all we want from it. But don't tell my daddy, I would be so grounded! - She giggled. Anthony sniffed her fur a bit. She smelled like alcohol. A lots of it.
- I must remember to never get you vodka again…
- Eh, you're not my uncle! - Doe hissed.
- Yeah, but I'm ya husband , it gives me some authority...
- Owl demon opens her eyes. She trembled.
- Fake mar… You can't get divorce in Hell!
They looked at her. Daria almost sobered up.
- WHAT!?
- Once you are married, you are stuck for life. Why do you think my parents are still together?! King Lucifer hates everybody way too much to just let demons go their separate ways if they want to!
- No… - They panicked.
- Yes! Did you even read the marriage contract you signed!? And if this is an arranged marriage, this means King Lucifer was making it as your parents wanted.
- It can't be so bad, then - Daria was relieved. - Dad and mom wouldn't add something against us.
- Yeah, but my dad sure would. - Angel Dust realised.
