Word of the fight had spread through out the Junkyard. Both Demeter and Victoria had answered the same questions over and over the same way. Yes the two of them would be mates and not to offend anyone, but they really didn't care if the others didn't like the idea of them being together. There were a few that didn't and a few that were unsure, but were happy for them nonetheless. The majority of they tribe was glad for them and wished them luck. Jellylorum still wasn't talking to Victoria.

~A week later.~
The day of the ceremony, the queens split into two groups. Bombalurina, Jennyanydots, Electra, Cassandra, and Rumpleteazer in one. Etcetera, Tantomile, MoonbeamDancer, Mistica and Dratini in the other. The first group grabbed Demeter. The second one got Victoria. Both asked what was going on and the two groups said that since it was their wedding day and according to tradition, they couldn't see each other until the ceremony, they were going to help them get all pretty.
They were both started off with a warm bath and a flea dip.
"Close your eyes dear, I don't want the shampoo to get into them." Jenny said, before dumping a cup of water on Demeter's head. Two hours later, both queens had been bathed, dipped and dried. Their coats gleamed like snow and shadows and gold. Both Cassandra and Tantomile carefully combed their coats so the wouldn't tangle.
The second group was in the middle of trying various collars on Vicki when Jelly showed up.
"I want to talk to Victoria alone." she said.
The others left.
"You look nice." Jelly said.
"Thank you."
"I've been thinking and... I wanted to say I'm sorry. I'm not sure I totally approve of your choice of a mate, but if she makes you happy, I wish you luck."
Victoria smiled and hugged her. "Thank you."
Jelly smiled back. "You're welcome. Now come on. Misto's ready."
They walked outside. Misto was there waiting, he was going to give Victoria away. Munkustrap was going to give away Demeter.
"Hi Vicky. Wow, you look nice."
"Thanks. Do you think Demeter will like it?"
"I know she will."
Meanwhile with Demeter...
"You look good" Munkustrap said. "And yes, I think Victoria will love it."
"How'd you know I was thinking that?"
"Lucky guess."
Demeter giggled softly. "Do you really think she will?" she asked.
"For crying out loud! Yes!"
"Alright, alright."
The two groups walked over to the tire. Both Demi and Vicky looked around; the whole tribe was there. Then they saw each other.
Demeter's eyes almost fell out of her head. Victoria's coat looked like fresh fallen snow and her eyes were a sparkling crystal blue. Around her neck, she wore a silver collar that was studded with small, clear stones and hanging from the center of it was a teardrop shaped pearl.
Victoria on the other hand, stopped dead in her tracks and stared at Demeter. Her coat glinted and flowed like melted gold and onyx. On her throat was a black spiked collar with soft gold crystals on it.
Both of them drew in a sharp breath and thought the other looked amazingly beautiful.
Old Deuteronomy stood up on the tire.
"Today we are here to witness the marriage between Demeter and Victoria.
He motioned for them to come forward.
"Who gives away Victoria?"
"I do." spoke Misto.
"Who gives away Demeter?"
"I do." Munkustrap responded.
Deuteronomy smiled and the two toms stepped away.
Demeter grinned and winked at Victoria. Victoria blushed.
"Do you Demeter, take Victoria to be your mate? To love and to hold, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, until death do you part?"
"I do."
" Do you Victoria, take Demeter to be your mate? To love and to hold, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, until death do you part?"
"I do."
"Let it be known that from this day forward, that Victoria and Demeter are mates."
The two queens rubbed noses and kissed.
Later that night, Demeter was lying on the nest of sheets. She and Vicky had decided the Demeter would live with her.
Demeter licked her lips and started washing behind her ears. "I wish you hadn't shoved that cake in my fur." she grumbled.
Vicky giggled softly and nuzzled Demeter. "Sorry, couldn't help it."
Demeter snorted and smiled. "Uh huh, sure. You wouldn't of done it if Rumpleteazer hadn't egged you on."
"Here, let me help." Victoria said, licking Demeter's ears.
Demi purred softly and closed her eyes, her ears flickering at Vicky's touch.
Victoria gently washed Demeter's ears, cleaning out the remaining cake and working down.
"What are you doing?" Demeter asked, opening her eyes a little bit.
Vicky didn't answer; she just nuzzled and sucked lightly at Demeter's neck.
Demeter shivered slightly in pleasure and closed her eyes again.
Victoria noticed her shiver, pulled back and asked "Cold?"
Demeter re-opened her eyes and shook her head. "No. Come here." she said, pulling Victoria into her lap and nuzzling her.
Vicky laughed as Demi's whiskers tickled her. "No! Stop, that tickles!!" she yelped, rolling out of Demeter's lap. She curled upon her side, watching Demeter.
Demeter grinned evilly and pounced on her.
Victoria shrieked with laughter.
Demeter leaned down and kissed her.
Victoria willingly responded back to the kiss, running her claws though her mate's fur and down her back, enjoying making Demeter purr. Victoria deepened the kiss, sliding her tongue into Demi's mouth and massaging the muscles along her spine.
Demeter moaned softly and framed Victoria's face with her paws. Pulling back and breathing in, Demeter looked at her with love and consern in her eyes.
"Are you sure about this?"
Victoria nodded.
Demeter gently brushed Vicky's lips again.
Afterwards, the two snuggled together in each other's arms, a pile of white, gold and black fur.
"You ok?" Victoria asked, her breath making Demi's chest fur move.
Demeter nodded. "Yeah I'm fine, you?"
"I'm fine." Victoria responded. She nuzzled Demeter with her chin and purred happily.
Demeter scratched her behind the ears. "Did I tell you how beautiful you looked today?"
Victoria shook her head sleepily.
"You looked like an angel."
"I thought I was your Lighting." Vicky said, struggling to keep her eyes open.
"That too." Demeter whispered, holding her closer.
"My shadow." Victoria mumbled, scooting as close as she could to Demeter.
"My Lighting."
And the two fell into a deep sleep a mixture of shadows and lights, a blend of White Gold.

The End
