(Series 5ish)

It seemed liked heaven when Mega was caught and told them where the prisoners were. At first, Amber was nervous what would happen to them? Now that he had been gone for so long- and she had been alone with Bray jr.

Jay- he had tried to help her for which she had been grateful- taking his time out to do that when his and Trudy's wedding was mere days away. Helping getting men to go the location they believed held Bray.

Their gamble had pulled off- there Bray was however he was not alone. Danni was alive too. At first, Amber thought this would turn into a soap opera. However, her fears were unfounded as Danni fell for a guy of her own. Someone who had once been the enemy but had reformed himself.

So nothing was in the way. It was a fast re-courtship. The love and happiness had already been there from the start anyway. After much decision- they had decided to get married themselves ironically in the most odd situation ever.

(Flashback weeks prior)

Amber was in the loo giving Bray jr. a bubble bath when Bray walked in, "Amber, I have something to say…" he said slowly.

"Bray, can't this WAIT- I'm kind of BUSY," she said motioning to the other Bray.

"He'll be fine for like five minutes if I don't say this now…" he said slowly.

Amber looked at her son again he was busy splashing around anyway, "Okay…"

"This hardly perfect but considering we're pressed for time with this tribal meeting coming up…. And we're going to be so busy and I'll be around less but I want you to know that'll be always around- so Amber, will you marry me?" he asked taking out a ring.

"Oh my god- of course I will," she replied a bit floored- she had expected many things but that was not one of them.

Amber looked over at her son- okay so it was safe- she then grabbed Bray and pulled him into a kiss.

(Flashback ends)

Amber was standing in front of a mirror with Salene, Trudy, May, Danni, Alice, Ellie, Tai-san, Gel, Lottie, and Ruby in the room.

Lottie and Gel were laughing at Sammy's suit they saw him in earlier. Salene, Trudy, and May were involved in laughter of their as they made jokes about the disasters that had happened at their own weddings. Jay had been late to his and Trudy got so upset that by the time he got there her dress was covered in soaked tears. And then to make matters worse Brady then got sick on Jay when they "danced" together. It was the first and last time May ever tried to bake sugar cookies- because later that night… everyone was sick.

Salene and May's wedding well just had been insane from the get go- Salene was pregnant with theirson at the time and was huge. No one thought what would happen could have until it did. Half through their vows Salene went into labour and May was forced to deliver the baby. That had been hectic enough.

Now it was Amber's turn and she was scared less. She looked over at them, "Hopefully this goes well," she said after a minute.

"Oh Amber it will be fine… besides it doesn't get much worse than Salene's- and you're not pregnant. Off hand you should be okay and it's Bray you've been with him forever and he's not the late kind," Trudy replied.

Amber nodded, "I know- it's just scary…."

"I'd be afraid too if that helps and I've known Jack forever," Ellie chimed in.

"You're next by the way- I'd start being afraid now," Alice said to her.

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome sweetie- that's what big sisters are for," Alice replied putting her arm around Ellie as Ellie let out a moan.

"I'm just glad Mega isn't the marrying kind," Danni replied.

"He very well could be one day," May said.

Tai-san looked at them, "I doubt it, I think it's safe to say after Ellie and Alice are married that we're done"

"What about Ebony?" Gel said.

The girls looked among themselves and let out a snort, "Ebony? You've got to be kidding!"

"You can't even get Ebony in a dress let alone a wedding," Trudy replied amused.

"I don't even like her- invited her-and she still said no," Amber said rolling her eyes.

"Don't be surprised- she might be our side but she's hardly a friend," Trudy answered.

Amber looked at her- as if she didn't know that. They all knew Ebony was still a witch but still the rest of the tribe was going even Mega, Ram, and Slade- she could have at least made an effort.

"Come on Ladies let's get the show on the road," Lex shouted from the hallway.

Amber looked at them all, "Oh god, I can't believe this is happening for real…"

"It is Amber and you deserve it- now come on," Salene replied walking to the side with her.

As Amber walked down the hall she came across Jack with his hand out, Jack had agreed to walk her down the aisle, "Thanks Jack"

"Anytime… hi Ellie," he whispered blowing her a kiss as she laughed and ducked through the curtain.

"So who is Ellie's escort?" Amber asked suddenly.

Alice had Ryan, Lex was Tai-san's, Danni had Ram (as no way Mega was getting involved), Gel had Sammy, Lottie was the flower girl since Brady was holding Bray jr. so he could be the ring bearer, Ruby had Slade, Trudy had Jay, May was Salene's… but what about Ellie?

Jack laughed, "Bray got someone for the job with a lot of begging and blackmail," he answered.

Amber gave him a bewildered look which shortly turned to shock as Ellie stepped up and walking to her side was… EBONY! Dressed in that old black leather outside- she shot Amber a look as she walked with Ellie.

Amber was near hysterics as she turned to Jack, "Oh my god- my wedding is a zoo- could this get anymore wild before this thing gets underway?"

Finally, the music sounded- Amber looked at Jack and took a deep breath- she stood in front of the few remaining Mallrat guests, and other tribal visitors- she then walked down the aisle of the Mall with look of nervousness on her face but a smile to cover it.

She didn't remember much after that it was a blur until she heard "You may kiss the bride," from Salene who was doubling as the priest and Bray then kissed her.

Amber sighed happily as they kissed thinking about everything that had happened- all the wild turns, the battles, and the future that looked so good for them all. It was amazing how perfect life was right now- so perfect beyond words. And to think indirectly without the Techno's this moment would have not been possible.

Finally the dream was more than alive it was- here- it was real- and nothing would end it not now and not ever.

The end.
