Chapter 40: The "Wedding"
The "wedding" day...
"Sigh...," Stella sighed and looked into the mirror. Oh yes, she was indeed beautiful, but her heart was breaking quickly. She dusted off her dress and positioned the hat on her head as she kept on thinking about all the memories she had now ruined. Stella whispered, "I wonder where they are right now... No, they're not coming, and they never will, and that is why you must end everything soon."
Stella brought out a large knife from her suitcase which she had brought with her. "Welly, it's almost time; I might as well look beautiful when I die."
Meanwhile...
"Wow, this is a weird place," Caitlin remarked as she, Natsu, and Megan walked into the Hamster City Outskirts Chapel. The three double agents were all wearing fancy dresses, Caitlin's purple, Natsu's blue, Megan's red, but they didn't have their black dye in their fur. Chad quickly spotted them and walked toward them.
"Hey, Shoxxi gals!" Chad exclaimed. "How are ya? Ya doin' good? What happened to your-"
"No time to talk, Chad, we need to see Stella really quick. Just for a moment," Caitlin explained.
"Why?"
"Because if we don't, we're going to kill you, too."
"...WHAAAT?!!"
"Just let us talk to her."
"Let's say this... When we're ready to start, you can bring her out here, kay? KAY!" Chad ran away from the three double agents with a frightened look on his face.
"Wellys, you heard him. We go back there when they're ready to start. We can either bring her out here and let Mike be the hero, or we can drag her out, and we can be the heroines, even though Mike wants to be it and he has his little confession...," Caitlin thought aloud. "Oh wellys, let's just bring her out so he won't kill us, too. But we can't let her know who we are, Mike said, so we have to use these veils..."
"Right," Natsu and Megan replied as they three put on veils that matched the colors of their dresses to cover up their identity.
The three double agents walked up to the front of the room where Jake and the nameless hamster was. Jake was pacing back and forth as the nameless hamster looked rather dreary. No one acknowledged the three double agents they were there.
The pastor, who looked like he had been dealing drugs and had just finished filling himself with heroin and finished snuffing cocaine, looked at the time. "I think it's time," he shouted loudly in his high voice.
"It's only half past noon," Jake muttered. "You three, dear gallies, go back and get her so we can get this over with and-"
"EVERYONE CAN START MAKING OUT," the pastor shouted.
"...Never mind him..."
Caitlin, Natsu, and Megan just sort of glanced at each other as they walked down the aisle and turned left once outside the large room. The hallway they went down took them a short ways to a door. Caitlin looked back at the two other double agents as she took a deep breath and prepared herself the lines she had come with in her head as she opened the door.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!!" escaped from the door when Caitlin threw it open.
"WHOA," Natsu shouted as she jumped back into Megan. Caitlin froze in place before she could remember what she wanted to say. She cleared her throat and looked into the room.
Stella was there, but she looked out of place like a broken rib bone. She had on the beautiful pink dress and hat with the veil, and the veil was covering her face. Caitlin pulled down on her veil so Stella could not recognize her.
Stella stopped breathing for a minute and looked at the three double agents. "Oh, you're just little girls," she whispered as she leaned back against the mirror. "You're no harm. Come in."
Caitlin remarked, "We are here to take you to the aisle."
"It's that time already? I don't wanna die tonight."
Caitlin paused before saying anything. "I promise you happiness in a few moments if you just come with me."
"If you mean by that lame-"
"I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about someone else."
"...Who are you? I thought I knew you for a moment..."
"You know me. You know who I work for. You know we three are the ones who found out about this so you can be saved."
"You're not saying-"
"C'mon, Stellsys, we need to go quickly."
"Stellsys... ...OH MY GOD, IT'S YOU, CC!!!"
"Shhh... They know me as Cait Shoxxi, remember?"
"OH MY GOD!!! IT'S YOU!!! HOW DID YOU-"
"Long story; I'll explain later. Now let's go!" The three double agents tugged on Stella as she obediently followed them to the large room.
The Chapel had come up with their own singer, but it was a cross between a pothead and a R&B singer, so Caitlin had to run up to the front of the room really quickly before Stella entered to shut them up. She began singing "Xoe" by Unfinished Thought, but too many people thought it was depressing and they wanted to get the service over with so they could-
"MAKE OUT!" the pastor continuously shouted.
"That frickin' guy's obsessed with making out, isn't he?" Caitlin murmured as she walked back outside the large room to the three other girls. "Alrighteh, Stellsys, you go out there, and we make the BIGGEST delay until something happens."
"Alright," Stella whispered back as she walked into the big room.
Anyone from a mile away could hear the gasps when Stella walked into the large room. She was very breath-taking as she walked delicately down the aisle. Her mind was set onto what was about to happen... But she then remembered...
Stella walked up to Jake. She mouthed something before she heard Caitlin, Natsu, and Megan shout, "WAIT! Aren't we forgetting someone, hmm?"
Chad, who was standing at the front of the room, walked over to them. "Don't delay us, Shoxxi gals! We're trying to-"
"Get yourselves into a potload of trouble with me, right?" a demanding voice said from the back of the room.
Everyone in the whole room stopped dead. There in the back of the room was Mike in his awesome gloryness with Becky and Roger behind him. Jake quivered in his fur as Stella began floating with delight. Jake whispered, "Jamie, emergency."
The nameless hamster clamped onto Stella's arm before she began to run. She yelled at him to let go, but suddenly the voiceless hamster turned on her. Jake walked down to the middle of the room still quivering with Chad doubling his fists and growling loudly. Mike glanced at Chad and yelled over at Caitlin, "That short and annoying looking guy that Chad guy, right?"
"Yeah," Caitlin responded.
"YOU MEAN YOU ARE OF HIS?!!" Jake screamed as he began backing up quickly back to the front of the room.
"Uh, yeah," the three double agents muttered. "Have been for a while now..."
Jake reached behind a surface and whispered, "Alright, Mr. Bad Ham-"
"IT'S MONTGOMERY FOR GOD'S SAKE!" Mike retorted loudly.
"Oh my God," Caitlin gasped unbelievingly. "He never told me that... NO FAIR!"
"...Alright, Mr. Montgomery, if you think you've outsmarted me, think again!" Jake lunged forward toward Mike while he raised his club high in the air. Mike pounced and expanded his razor sharp claws from his paws. When they collided, Mike wounded Jake across the face with his sharp claws and landed on his feet on the ground. Jake held one of his paws to his face to try to stop the bleeding as he yelled, "I need some HELP!"
Mike shouted, "You can't call for help! That's not-" Before he could get another word out, he felt overpowering weight atop of his body that crushed him onto the floor. "HASHAA!?? GET OFF OF ME, YOU FAT LUMBERWOOD!" he shouted at the heavy hamsters that were atop of him.
Jake walked up with his club raised. "It was nice living your life, wasn't it?" he growled.
"...Yes, it was," Mike riposted as he tried to get up from underneath the heavyweight.
Jake was laughing mightily, but suddenly his laughing stopped. His eyes grew wide and pale as he dropped his club. He fell to his knees and looked behind him. Jake's last words before he closed his eyes were, "STELLA, WHY?!!"
The heavy hamsters paused for a moment before getting off of Mike. The other hamsters in the room were paused. Mike stood up and looked down at Jake. He saw that someone had thrown a knife at him from the back into his heart, and it was dead aim...
"Stella?" Mike whispered as he looked up.
Stella was breathing hard. The voiceless hamster's paw was on the ground in front of her (at the moment he was screaming with pain, so he must have not been voiceless anymore), but not a speck of blood got onto her. She closed her eyes began falling back. Mike ran to her and caught her as she fell. "Stella! You...you...killed him!"
"I...did?" Stella gasped as she looked up into Mike's soft and understanding brown eyes. She clung to him and burst into tears. "I'M SORRY, MIKE! I DIDN'T MEAN TO-"
"Shh, Stella, I know, I understand all that happened now." Mike embraced her as she whispered, "I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."
"Shh... Don't worry... Shh..." Mike softly pushed up on her chin and looked directly into her silver eyes. "I got something to ask you, and I didn't know I needed to do this until all this happened, but I know I need to ask now." He pulled out a little case and held it up to her. "Stella, before I say anything else, if it weren't for Cait, Natalie, and Dilla, I'd prob'ly be off somewhere else wondering what happened. You see, Cait was the one who found the ransom note, and then they found Chad and et cetera. I'll tell you later, but I wanted you to know that it wasn't all me doing the dirty work; it was the Shoxxi gals."
"Wow, he gave US credit," Caitlin gasped.
Mike cleared his throat and continued talking to Stella. "I need to ask you now, and I need to know your answer now. Stella, will you marry me?"
Poor Roger and Becky took this by surprise considering they were standing right next to them. Becky sniffed and looked up at Roger. Roger actually started crying out of instinct. Becky hugged him and whispered, "Don't worry, Rogie, I'm here."
Roger blushed and whispered, "Oui, Miss Becky."
Stella's eyes were lit up like large water crystals. She clung tighter to Mike and whispered, "Yes! Yes, I will!"
"Aww, this is so sad and DEPRESSING," Chad screamed as he ran into the walls continuously.
Suddenly many sirens went off. Number 1 ran into the large room and shouted, "BAD HAMS, RETREAT! They're here with a whole army! Now, c'mon! C'mon!"
Mike swept Stella into his arms. "Remember this? And then remember what happened next?"
Stella's eyes were still glowing. "Yes, let's relive that night."
"OH GOOD GOD," Caitlin shouted as she and the two other double agents ran out of the chapel.
Mike and Stella ignored the three double agents as they ran out of the Chapel with Number 1. Roger and Becky glanced at each other cutely and held each other's paws as they ran out of the Chapel...
