Chapter 11: The End
Tori walked into her apartment and straight into the bathroom. She began taking her shower as Blake came to the door.
"Can I join you, or are you freaked out too much?" Blake asked from outside the bathroom.
"You can come in." Tori called. Blake opened the door and shut it again quickly as to not cause a chill. "Are you get in or what?" Tori asked.
"I'm coming." Blake said as he stepped into the shower behind Tori, wrapping hid arms around her waist, and kissing her shoulder.
"You're the only one allowed to touch me." Tori said resting her head on Blake's chest, leaning into his embrace.
"Well, we have to get ready for a wedding!" Blake whispered into her ear.
"I know." Tori said stepping out of his arms to wash her hair. Blake showered as well, and soon they were getting dressed in their room.
"You ready for this?" Blake asked her, as she curled her hair.
"Yup." Tori answered, as she finished a curl, and started another. Blake finished spiking his hair, and fixed his tie. Tori wasn't in her dress yet. The door bell rang, and Blake kissed Tori;s cheek.
"I gotta go. But Tara's gonna help you finish getting ready, okay? I'm going with Hunter to help Cam and Leeann set up." Blake said.
"Sure." She said kissing him back quickly as he went to answer the door.
"Hello Tara, Tori's in the bedroom getting ready. We'll see you later." Blake said as Hunter kissed her good-bye. Tara happily skipped into the bedroom with her dress in her hands. Her hair and make up was done, but she opted to get dress here.
"Ready to become Mrs. Bradley the first?" Tara asked placing her dress next to Tori's.
"The first?" Tori asked raising an eyebrow looking at Tara through the mirror.
"You do realize there are two Bradley brothers, the others going to get married at some point!" Tara said taking the curling iron out of Tori's hand and continuing the curling.
"Are you trying to tell me something?" Tori asked.
"No, just reminding you!" Tara said with a happy smile.
"Thanks Tara, for everything." Tori said after a comfortable silence as Tara finished.
"Glad to help. Besides, we may be sister-in-laws someday!" Tara said with a warm smile as she did the last curl. Ding dong. (Doorbell). "I'll get it." Tara answered the door to see Skye.
"Tori's still here, right?" Skye asked. Skye looked just like Tori, only with beautiful dark brown hair.
"Yeah in the bedroom." Tara said leading the way.
"Tori!" Skye squealed.
"Skye!" Tori squealed. They hugged, but careful not to mess up Tori's hair.
"Here." Skye said handing her a necklace box. Tori opened it.
"A wave crossed with thunder, in the form of a cross, wait this is mom's!" Tori cried.
"Yes it was. She said it was to be given to you. Because it was in your destiny to be with the thunder, and tame the storm. I never understood what she meant, but she said I'd know that when to give it to you." Skye explained. Skye placed it around Tori's neck, as Tara held her hair up.
"Hmm...my two sisters helping me on my wedding day/night." Tori said with a huge smile.
"You consider me your sister?" Tara asked as a tear formed in her eye, which she fought back, only because of her make-up.
"Well, not legally, yet, but I believe some day, you will be." Tori said smiling at her.
"Well, why don't we get our sister into her dress. You too!" Skye said to Tara.
"Right..." Tara said. "Be right back, then we put Tori in hers!" Tara ran off to the bathroom, and quickly put on her dress. She reemerged from the bathroom, in a dress mirroring Skye's only not in the same color.
"Who picked these dresses?" Skye asked admiring how it looked on Tara.
"Blake did. He picked out mine as well." Tori said with a huge smile. Skye did her make-up while Tara got dressed.
"Wow, boy's got good taste. Let's get yours on you!" Tara said. They put Tori in her dress, and where taken back at how beautiful she looked. Both were speechless.
"Does it look that bad?" Tori asked as they didn't say anything.
"Bad? Tori you look, Blake's going to be the luckiest guy there. Aside from already being the guy that gets to marry you." Tara exclaimed. Tori blushed.
"Well let's get my little sister to her wedding, shall we Tara?" Skye said.
"Yes, we shall." Tara said grabbing her roses, and handing Tori her bouquet. They left Tori's apartment at 9:30, and headed to the Academy. Tara drove Tori's van, and Skye drove her car. They arrived at the Academy, and saw a beautiful archway set up in front of the waterfall. Tara ran up to Blake and Hunter.
"We're here. Tori's with Skye, is everyone here yet?" Tara asked.
"We're just waiting for the Sensei to come out. I think Sensei Wantanabe was crying before." Hunter said.
"There they are, I'll go tell Tori and Skye." Tara said running back to the girls. Hunter stood next to his little brother and looked over at him. He was nervous beyond compare. Technically they wouldn't be married until they got the correct licenses on Friday, and Sensei signed them, but he was still nervous. Then Tara ran back and took her seat. Cam turned on the stereo, which began playing here comes the bride. Shane was standing there with a video camera, while Dustin cried on Marah's shoulder. Skye and Tori walked down the aisle, arms linked. The girls all stood to the side with their baby bouquets. Blake's heart stopped. He'd seen Tori in the dress this morning when they bought it, but this was. She was beautiful. As Tori gazed at the archway in front of the waterfall, under the star filled night sky, with Blake waiting for her, she felt her eyes welled up. Soon Skye was giving Tori's hand to Blake. Everyone sat down, except Shane who was still taping.
"Ladies, Gentlemen, and fellow Ninjas." Sensei Amono began.
"We welcome you to this ceremony." Sensei Wantanabe continued.
"To celebrate the union."
"Between Two fine Ninjas, and wonderful people."
"Blake and Tori."
"Blake has asked to say his own vows."
"Blake..."
"Blondie, I love you so much. A year and a half ago, I never would have said those three words. I was afraid too. I thought I'd lose you. A week ago I almost did. Even after I tricked you when we met, used you to get something, you forgave me. I broke your heart, coming back from the pro's engaged to a woman who I thought was pregnant. And you still forgave me. And now you're willing to marry me after only knowing that I love you for 9 days. And not even being engaged for 24 hours. I love you Tori, and I promise to love you, until death does us part, and even after that." Blake said beautifully, causing Tori to cry.
"Tori has also asked to say her own vows." Sensei A. said.
"Tori..." Sensei W. said.
"Thunderboy, I, too, love you very much. A year and a half ago, I never thought I'd find someone to love. Between fighting Lothor, trying to cope with my father figure being a guinea pig, and the overall strain of life. But then you came. At first it was to get Sensei, but you were misguided. And you came back to me, and helped fight on the side of good, to defeat Lothor. You became one of my bestfriends. Even broody Hunter-"Tori said glancing at Hunter after the comment." And then you left again. But again you came back, for the wrong reason, but you came back. You told me you loved me. I knew why you were scared to say it, and I was over joined when you said them. And now I can say them to you everyday for the rest of my life. Blake, I love you, and nothing in this world could stop me. Not Lothor, not Niki, no one ever has, no one ever will. I promise to love you and be loyal, until death tries to part us. But even then it won't." Tori said smilng throught her tears.
"The rings?" Sensei A. asked. Skye and Hunter handed over the rings.
"Thank you." Sensei W. said.
"Blake, repeat after me:"
"I, Blake, take the Victoria, to be my lawfully wedded wife."
....(a/n too lazy to type full vows)
"Tori, repeat after me:" Sensei W. said.
"I, Victoria, take the Blake, to be my lawfully wedded husband."
...(again, too lazy)
"I know pronounce you husband and wife." Sensei A. pronounced.
"You may kiss the bride." Sensei W. said trying to contain his tears. Tori and Blake kissed in a passionate kiss, before turning to their friends.
"Pay up!" They said together. Shane, Hunter, Marah, and Kapri all handed them twenty dollars.
"$300 total so far!" Tori said proudly. Tori and Blake left that the academy as Mr. And Mrs. Blake Bradley, and lived happily ever after, until the next story.
And there you have your official end to Three Little Words. Now I must plot for the sequel, and spin-off possibilities! Thank you for reading. Watch for Two Little Babies, the sequel, now in writing processes. Until next time, - Storm Strider out...
"WAIT!"
"What?"
"What happened to Niki?"
"Hehe... wait and see in the sequel...." :evil grinning:
