New Beginnings
Chapter 12
When they say time flies, they mean it! It feels like only yesterday I proposed to her! And now, its already the day of the wedding! The place is beautiful, and perfect. Tails picked out a wonderful citadel. Looking at myself, I wore a black tuxedo with a white undergarment, buttoned up so it covers the garment, I also didn't wear my gloves as before. "Knuckles." I heard someone call; I turned to face the priest, a skinny, blond haired man with a white robe. "Its time." I nod to him. He begins to walk down the hallway to the main room of the citadel, as we turn the corner to the gigantic room, I see rows of people, hedgehogs and creatures alike. The priest took the lead, slowly, and I followed him down the center walkway and up to the altar. I took my place on the left side of the Priest and looked out to the mass of people. Here comes Tails, wearing the same type of Tuxedo as me, cept he had a yellow flower pined to the left side of his collar. He finished his walk and stood to my left, and looked to the entrance with me. I saw Sonic walk in, wearing, yep, the same tuxedo, with a blue flower pinned to his collar. I nodded to him as he came up to the altar; I saw, in his hand the wedding ring, just as the jeweler made it out to be. We looked to the entrance and waited.
The Maid of Honor, Layla the Bat, came up to the altar, I've seen this black furred and red eyed bat before, and it came to my attention that she was a childhood friend of Rouge. The style of the maids were simple, a light crimson satin dress with puffy sleeves. After a minute, Amy Rose came up wearing the same dress as Layla. Then, after another minute, I saw Cream the Rabbit wearing a similar more white dress, with a heart shaped box on a pillow, followed by Cheese, whom was throwing rose petals on the floor.
Suddenly, 'Here comes the bride' began to play and I turn my head to the entrance once more. There she is, Rouge The Bat, in a white wedding gown, with a veil over her face. Holding her arm is the President. They walked towards the altar slowly as the music continued to play. My heart was beating faster and faster. They came to a stop a good 10 feet away from the altar. The President removed the veil from Rouge's face, and I stared into her eyes with passion. "Who dares, give this woman to be wed?" I heard the priest call. "I do." I heard the President respond. "Rouge the Bat, please come forward." The Priest said once more. Rouge walked forward and stood on the right side of the priest. I faced the priest, as did she. "Face each other." Well, why didn't I do that before? Oh well, I turned to face Rouge, and she faced me. "Dearly beloved." It has begun. "We are gathered here today to unite two unique beings within a holy matrimony. Marriage, like most things in life, requires patience, unity, and above all else, love. But love can be like a spell. It can either transform someone into a demonic satanic, or into an angelic masterpiece. What we have here today, has to be an angelic masterpiece. Even in the strangest of forms, love can bloom.
The priest cleared his throat. "Knuckles, do thee take, Rouge, to be your beloved wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, till death do thee part?" I was waiting for this. "I do." I said clearly. "And do thee, Rouge, take Knuckles, to be your beloved wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, till death do thee part?" "I do." She said clearly. "Now, Knuckles, do you have the ring?" I felt Tails tap my shoulder, and I put my left hand behind me. I felt the ring go in my hand. I brought the ring forward. "Take her left hand." I did such, slowly raising her left hand. "Repeat after me. I Knuckles," "I Knuckles, place this ring which is bound by my love, on thy hand, as my mate in marriage, may you cherish it like you cherish me." I slipped the ring on her ring finger. "Rouge, do you have the ring?" Rouge opened her hand and held a gold band with an amethyst gem inlaid in it. "Take his left hand." She held my left hand, letting her pinky and index finger caress the barbs on my hands. "Repeat after me." "I Rouge, place this ring which is bound by my love, on thy hand, as my mate in marriage, may you cherish it like you cherish me." She slipped the ring on my finger, it had a warm feel to it. "I can now pronounce thee, Husband, and Wife. You may kiss your bride!" I took no hesitation and kissed her passionately. "WooooHooo!" "Yeah!" I heard everyone shout randomly. After a good two minutes we broke the kiss, and faced the crowd. They were all clapping.
As I started to walk down the Isle, wife in hand, I noticed a group of people that seemed out of place in the third row. The first person I recognized . . . Nah . . . It was! It's V! I recognize his mystic green eyes, brown hair and brown goatee anywhere! He wore a black tuxedo with a pale blue undergarment, he just stared at me, as if telling me something, smiling, he nodded to me.
I looked a bit more to the left V and saw another human, first off . . . he wasn't dressed formally . . . no . . . He was actually dressed in a black leather trench and black armor from what I could see over the other's heads . . . He was even wearing black SUNGLASSES! He had odd blue hair that cascaded down his back and came out the front in two very long bangs. He was also wearing black denim pants. Needless to say, he was a bit on the shady side, but he didn't look too bad, clean-shaven and all.
Once more continuing my observation, I saw a pink cat with these big teal eyes, she had more of a darker pink hair on her head, but the rest of her fur was a normal pink. She wore this light pink dress with white heart shaped patterns over it, and . . . she was . . . crying? Hmm, must be a happy event for her.
What the? Another Echinda? Heh, I knew Death Fist and me weren't the only ones left. This one was female, like Tikal, but her fur color was a purple color, and her face, was a red-ish color. She also had these strange orange eyes. She also wore a light purple long sleeved dress and just smiled at me.
As I walked past them, I noticed V begin to mouth something, and the next thing I know, all of them disappeared! "Huh . . . Weird." "Whats wrong Honey?" Rouge asks me. "Oh nothing my love." I shook it off, and continued to walk out of the citadel to a white limousine. Picking Rouge up, I opened the back door and put her in, then, as she scooted over, I got in the limo as well. "Driver, Rouge's Place!" I called, and instantly we were on the move. I smiled to her once more, She returned the smile, and we embraced in a kiss, one that lasted the entire trip to her house.
