A/N: Jazmine Matthews is Howl Of A Werewolf's character.
'Marriage makes people miserable! Love?! What's love got to do with it?!' Derby thought as he watched his aunt and uncle standing across from each other at the altar reciting their vows.
He glanced around the church, seeing Carly and Gary kissing and seeing Gary's right arm around Carly's shoulders as they smiled… and he briefly heard his own dad say "That's gonna be them one day." as Derby's mom smiled, Derby rolling his eyes.
Johnathan and Alexandra paid no attention to their son's aggravation… and Derby looked at Pinky and Mandy, noticing them talking but not paying attention.
He snapped out of his boredom when the reverend pronounced Samuel and Marcie husband and wife again and the two kissed as Derby cheered along with everyone to not look suspicious.
After the wedding and cheering, the reception had started and Sussudio by Phil Collins played as the guests danced.
Carly and Gary held each other and kissed as they smiled and danced, her right hand entwined with his left one as his right hand rested on her lower back and her left hand was resting on the right side of his face… and they noticed Pinky putting a blindfold on Derby as they were by a wall.
"She's waiting for you." Pinky whispered in Derby's left ear before Beatrice walked over.
Derby untied the blindfold and lowered it… and he went wide eyed.
"Beatrice?!" Derby responded in a flustered tone, Beatrice nodding. "You… you look beautiful." He replied.
"Yeah but you only see my outer beauty." Beatrice replied before she stepped back as a bucket fell on Derby, who yelled in fright and most of the guests were startled.
Derby pulled it off of him… only to realise he was covered in fake blood and that his belt had been stolen right off of him, his pants having fallen down.
Some guests laughed while most of the boys were covering their respective dates' eyes and Derby pulled his pants up and stormed off with tears in his eyes.
"It's okay, Caroline. I know you and your date had nothing to do with it. I'm going to tell Pinky's dad about what had happened, she likely did this because she doesn't want to marry Derby in the future." Johnathan responded in a calm and reassuring tone after seeing the distressed looks on their faces before he and Alexandra told the others to enjoy the reception and left to go find their son.
From where she was standing, Sally looked to where Dash was and quickly walked over to her before pulling her sister aside.
"I put slime in that bucket earlier, how did it get switched out for fake blood?" Sally asked quietly.
"Wasn't as interesting." Dash replied, seeing nothing wrong with it as she smoothed out a wrinkle in her floor length black satin halter neck dress, hating that she had to style her hair and leave her hat at home.
"You always were a twisted little duck sis." Sally snickered after moving her curly shoulder length hair out of her face.
Not replying, Dash pulls out a secret canteen and drinks some whiskey.
Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel played on the radio and Zoe was dancing on a table, Jimmy climbing onto the table and dancing with her before they kissed.
Carly turned around to see Gary, who guided her to the dance floor as Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf played and the two slow danced… and from where he was, Petey watched them.
'I'll never find someone.' Petey thought with a lonely look on his face… and then he turned around and saw Beatrice before they leaned in and kissed, smiling after they stopped.
"Don't doubt yourself, Pete Kowalski." Beatrice whispered.
Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through by Meat Loaf played as Carly and Gary had snuck away into a room after they grabbed a bottle of tequila for themselves and some shot glasses.
"Never have I ever accidentally thrown a dart at someone's eye." Gary responded.
Carly downed a shot of tequila, Gary laughing a bit.
"Holy shit, you actually threw a dart at someone's eye?!" Gary asked.
"I was on vacation in East Carraway with my family, snuck out to a pool hall one night and threw a few darts at a dartboard… one of them hit a biker in his left eye, the biker had to be restrained by his buddies. He kept ranting about how he was Billy Grey and that everyone should be in fear of him." Carly explained.
"You almost blinded the leader of The Lost MC? How high was he?" Gary replied.
"His second in command had to handcuff him to the bar. Then he apologized for Billy's behavior." Carly explained. "Never have I ever… been to the abandoned observatory. Though I want to go there." She responded.
Gary downed a shot of tequila and then replied with "Safety reasons, my ass. Earnest and his friends go there all the time and come back unharmed." , Carly knowing that was true.
"Never have I ever… kissed anyone while it was storming outside." Carly replied.
Lightning flashed before they kissed… and both drank more shots.
"I never want to go back to San Andreas." Carly whispered as they smiled.
"Good. Because I never want to go back to Happy Volts." Gary responded quietly as they set the tequila bottle and glasses aside and held each other.
A while later in the Harrington House at the academy, Derby got into clean clothes after taking a long shower and drying off.
"Stupid prank." The blonde growled to himself, checking the mirror for any missed spots. "Fuck you, Carly!" He retorted before he grabbed the mirror off of the wall and threw it down the staircase.
Shards went flying everywhere and Derby didn't care about picking them up… he turned to go back upstairs but heard a knock at the door.
"Go away, Bif!" Derby responded, having assumed that his friend had left the wedding to check on him.
But the knocking persisted and Derby put his slippers on and walked downstairs, opening the door angrily.
A blonde woman jumped back in fright, her slightly oversized floral print sundress blowing for a few seconds in the wind … and Derby calmed down.
"Sorry, Miss." Derby responded before the woman, who he guessed to be in her late teens or early 20s, smiled slightly.
"It's alright. I heard the commotion and wanted to see if everything was okay." She replied.
Little did Derby know that the woman he just met had plans even more sinister than the one he was coming up with himself.
