Chapter 20
It was Deloroes's and Mariano's wedding and Pepa went up to Melissa.
Pepa: Hey Melissa, do you want to help me present the earrings you made for my daughter with me?
Melissa: Ah'I would love ta.
They found her in a room with the family, in her elegant wedding dress. Pepa was in tears seeing her once little girl, now a woman in a wedding dress, which got Melissa in tears. Bruno noticed and he helped her wipe away the tears. She smiled lightly and kissed Bruno's hand as a thank you.
Pepa: Oh look at you Corazon, I can't believe my baby's finally getting married.
She said through tears as clouds formed, as Felix tried to calm her.
Felix: Peppie you're going to get her wet mei amor, we're are so proud mei amor.
Antonio: Yeah, you look so beautiful Hermana.
Camilo: Yeah…you look great.
Luisa, Isabella, and Maribel: Looking great Prima.
Julieta, Agustin, Bruno, and Melissa: You look wonderful Sabrina!
Ya look wonderful Sabrina!
Alema: You look very lovely la nieta
As she hugs everyone.
Delores: Aw, thanks, Guys. And Mama I know, and I'm so happy.
Pepa: Oh, before I forget…
Then Melissa gave Pepa a medium box, and she gave it to Delores.
Delores: What's this?
Pepa: Well it's sort of a gift from Me your Father, your brothers, and your new Tia Melissa.
Melissa and Delores: Aw…
Then Melissa and Delores started laughing as well as everyone in the room. She then opened the box, and her eyes lit up as she saw the beautiful pair of earrings and a necklace.
Delores: These are…are…so beautiful, they must have cost you a fortune, where did you ever get them?!
Felix: Yes Peppie, where would you have gotten them?
He said through gritted teeth.
Pepa: Well Felix, if you would let me explain, you should ask your tia, Melissa.
Delores and Felix looked at Melissa.
Felix: Melissa you made these?! What craftsmanship!
Delores: Tia Melissa?! You made these?!
Melissa: Yeah, guilty. (nervous laughter) Ah'm just glad ya like em', ah'I also made ya'r mom's earrin's as well. She was mah first customer.
Delores: Wow, thank you so much, Tia Melissa.
Then she gave her another hug. Then she noticed Camilo wasn't all that happy. She went next to Camilo.
Melissa: What's wrong sugar?
Then Camilo pulled out a piece of paper and pen and started to write.
Camilo writes (V.o): Tia, is it wrong to feel a bit jealous of your sister on her wedding day, or am I a horrible person?
Melissa looks at the note and then looked at Camilo with sympathy in her eyes.
Melissa writes (V.o): Oh, Hon ya're not a horrible person, people get jealous from time ta time, especially at sibblin's, hell sometimes Ah'I get jealous at my sister. As long as ya don't act on it, so, why are ya jealous?
Then they started writing back and forth.
Camilo writes (V.o): Well, see normally I would get all the attention.
Melissa writes (V.o): Let meh guess, ya where compeatin' for the attention for a long time due ta Isabella bein' the golden child, and now the attention is on Delores due ta her marrin' Mariano, ah'I see
Camilo writes (V.O): Everything was fine he had to be all Mr. Machoman and tried to woo the perfect Isabella, and when that didn't work he went to my sister.
Melissa writes (V.O): Ah'I think there's a deeper meanin' ta this, do ya like him at all?
Camilo writes (V.O): I mean he's a cool dude or whatever, is that what you mean?
Melissa writes (V.O): Well ah'I mean sugar, is….
Then Camilo knew what she was thinking.
Camilo writes (V.O): What?! No, he's just cool, but he's so stupid, but he's funny, charming, muscular… Fuck he's hot!
Melissa writes (V.O): Hmm ah'I see have ya had any other crushes?
Camilo writes (V.O): Well I have 3 crushes, Mariano, this girl from the village named Sophia, and this boy named Jose, keep in mind the boy not the man.
Melissa writes (V.O): Since Mariano is taken, try focusin' on the other two, ok.
Camilo writes (V.O): Why, aren't you mad at me…for being the way that I am?
Melissa writes (V.O): Mad?! Why would ah'I be mad sugar cube?! Ah'm happy because Ya're ya and that's what makes ya special, and ya're part of the rainbow with meh, ah'm Bi taa!
Then Camilo read it and smiled slightly, then went up to Melissa and hugged her tightly.
Camilo: Thanks Tia, thanks for everything.
Melissa: And if ya need ta talk about it, ya can always talk ta meh.
Camilo: Yep, thanks.
Then Camilo hastily leaves as Antonio came rushing towards Melissa with Maribel running in tow.
Melissa: Whoa there sugar cube…
Antonio: Tia, the ceremony is about to begin, where's Tio Bruno?
Maribel smirked as she picked him up.
Maribel: I'm not sure Tonito, but where ever he is, I think Tia should go find him.
Then Antonio jumped out of Maribel's arms and was about to cling onto Melissa until she grabbed Antonio.
Maribel: By herself.
Then Maribel and Antonio turned around away from Melissa.
Maribel(Whispers): Don't worry, we'll meet them outside, ok.
Antonio: Oh, ok!
Melissa thought this was odd, but she and Maribel smiled at this. Then Melissa left to go find Bruno. She found him by himself outside of the church next to some beautiful flowers and a fountain. He was staring at the sunset as it began to go down, he was admiring the beautiful colors as he sighed.
Bruno (sigh): I wish Melissa would hurry and admire these colors with me.
She seized the perfect opportunity to slowly sneak up to her lover and put her hands to his eyes, he slightly jumped up at her touch, but soon realized it was his lover.
Melissa: Surprised, sugar? (Giggles)
Bruno: Hey, mei Vida, I was wondering when you were coming. Look at this beautiful view of the sky mei amor.
Melissa: It's lovely hon but…
Then he cuts her off with a kiss. She accepts it, then she cuts it short by pushing him slightly.
Melissa: Yeah, Ah'm sorry but the ceremony is startin' hon. Let's get in before…
Then he put his hand into hers, as everyone came out of the church and surrounded the pair smiling, Melissa was creeped out by this at first. Until he pulled a black creature small/ medium plushie out of his tux and gave it to her.
This can't be what ah'm thinkin' this is…
Melissa: Mah old plushie of Niffler?!
Bruno: Check his pouch mei amor, he's got something for you, mei Vida.
Then she did as he asked just to humor him, and she found a small box, and she started to tear up.
Melissa: Is this what ah'I think it is?!
Then without warning, he took the small box and then got down on one knee.
Bruno: Melissa Ann Holewa, mei amor, you've made me the happiest man in the whole wide world, heck maybe in this whole universe. Your bravery, patience, and kindness astounds me, and for what we've been through, I never met anyone who loves rats as much as I do.
Then everyone giggled.
Bruno: Well you do me the greatest honor of becoming my wife Mrs. Melissa Madrigal?
Everyone was so happy, as Melissa looked down sadly.
Melissa: No.
Then everyone went quiet and was nervous, as Bruno was speechless.
Bruno: What?! Why?!
Then Melissa smirked as she kissed him. Then Melissa pulled away giggling.
Melissa: Kiddin', of course, ah'll marry ya, ya blockhead.
Then she pulled out the ring and she gave it to him.
Melissa: Do ya want ta do the honors mei amor?
Bruno shook his head vigorously as he slid the ring onto her finger. It was in the shape of an hourglass with emerald gems, and it had two golden Butterflies hovering around it, one on top and one on the bottom.
Melissa: (Sobs) Oh mah Gawd, it's so beautiful, how did ya, where did ya…. Thank ya, thank ya so much.
Then she gave him a big kiss, as everyone cheered.
Julieta, Augustin, Pepa, Felix, and Alema: Yay!
Maribel, Luisa, Isabella, Camilo, Antonio, Delores: Yay Tia,Tio!
from on top of the church, the Demon was tearing up from laughing at the sight of his new son-in-law and his daughter kissing as they went back into the church, they got ready for Delores's and Mariano's wedding.
Demon: Ha, ha the son of a bitch pulled it off! I knew he could. They both deserve each other. Hmm, they remind me of me and Lorie.
Satan, I miss her so much.
He smirked at that slight forgotten memory, as he watched the wedding from the glass window skyline. The wedding started with Melissa, Pepa, Julieta, Maribel, Luisa, Isabella the bridesmaids, and the groomsmen were Felix, Augustin, Camilo, and Bruno, and the ring bearer was little Antonio, and the flower girl was Mariano's 15-year-old sister Sophia, the same Sophia that Camilo had a slight crush on as he was looking at her with a slight blush and got nervous, Melissa noticed as she pointed to her and mouthed " Is that her?" He nodded as the wedding went on normally. At the end of the wedding, they kissed. Pepa and Melissa started to cry. Bruno and Felix went to their specific partners and tried to comfort them.
Melissa: (Crys) Ah'm so sorry, ah'm a blubberin' mess, ah'I always cry at weddin's!
Pepa: (Crys)(makes gust of wind) I know right, me too, I'm so sorry!
As they were crying as the gust of wind grew stronger, the men tried to calm the crying women down. Bruno held Melissa close in a tight hug.
Mrs. Guzman: Can you please get her to stop the wind!
Felix: We're trying senora Guzman!
Melissa: Ya know what! That's not gonna fly…
Pepa: Melissa, please!
That Cunt, she's lucky her son is Mariano, Just think of them, just think of them ya're doing this for them.
Melissa: Hmm… fine, sorry.
Mrs. Guzman: That's better.
Then she left at that moment.
This Fuckin cunt, just kill her with kindness even though she's a piece of work.
Melissa just smiled and ignored the fact that she was about to turn into the beast until Bruno came over and pet her nose.
Melissa: (whispered) Thanks hon, she's a fuckin' piece of work.
Then everyone clapped as the newlyweds made their way out of the church as they made their way to La Madrigals for the reception. The party kicked off without a hitch. The Demon got a potion from Stolas and change back into a human. Then he went to go find Melissa.
Fuck, where the fuck is she?! 9 times out of 10 she would be with loverboy! Satan, they also remind me of Millie and Moxxie, they would worry about each other constantly, but they would be five feet away from each other, it's pathetic!
Then he found her with Bruno talking and laughing.
Demon in disguise: Listen, I know you're having fun with loverboy, but…
Then the Demon and Melissa heard a sound far in the distance. They got a bad feeling, as Bruno felt their nervousness.
Bruno: Mei Vida, what's wrong?
Melissa: A-Ah'I don't know, ah'I just got this weird feelin' that somthin' might happen.
Then from the distance, a medium-sized figure of an animal stopped and stared at the casita, then the figure heard cheering and laughter until the figure saw Melissa, and two strange men, but mostly Melissa. It started to barreling towards her like a freight train. Without warning. Melissa went down as the figure used its hooves to drop kick Melissa.
Animal: No calls, No texts, No note?! For the first two months, I thought you were Fuckin' dead, then not even another month goes by and Ah'I finally get a text from ya saying "Oh, ah'm just shacking up with 12 other people, ah'm fine everything's fine!" Is ya'r Hedgehog ok?!
Melissa was dumbstruck holding her jaw, laying half up on the ground confused.
Melissa: Ok ah'm sorry, ah'm sorry, What?! Ya dropped kicked mah dumbass, and ya're screamin' at meh for stupid shit, on mah fiance's niece's weddin' day! If we're gonna fight let's go in casita…
The madrigal family: No!
Luisa: See the last time someone had a fight…
Isabella: Casita turned into rubble.
Camilo: It's true.
Melissa: So, ya'll want meh ta argue out here with mah Ma!
Everyone at the party except the Demon in disguise: Ma?!
Boar: What the Fuck is a casita and Fiance?!
Melissa: Ma, seriously casita is their house, and yes fiancé, he just literally propose ta meh like an hour ago before ya got here.
Then Bruno and the demon in disguise came to the group. The Boar made a warning noise as Melissa got nervous and tried to stop them. The boar was about to attack until Melissa stopped her.
Melissa: Ma, stop, please! That's mah fiancé and his, his (Whisper) great uncle twice removed.
Boar/ Melissa's mom: Ah'I don't care, ya should have called meh, texted meh, anythin'! ah'I thought ya were hurt or raped or worse, and shackin' up with people ya bearly know was stuck on stupid! and ya're marrin' one of them, what if they decided ta kill ya, Fuck if Ah'I know!
Melissa: Mom, Please, language, we have kids here!
Everyone was staring at them with wide-eyes, as she started walling on Melissa.
Bruno: Woah Ma'am, with all due respect we would never harm anyone let alone your daughter, like what you're doing now, please, she was in safe hands.
Boar/ Melissa's mom: How would Ah've known that?! I don't know even know you people!
Felix: You people?! Look at you!
Then Julieta stopped him.
Julieta: Felix, he's not wrong, well except walling on her daughter. She's just a worried mother and…
Felix: So, I'm a worried father.
Julieta: Yeah, but remember Felix, she probably comes from a rougher town, where she worries about her kids constantly.
The Boar stopped walling on Melissa and looked admiringly at Julieta.
Boar/ Melissa's mom: Aw, thank ya.
Then without warning a puff of purple smoke, she turned back into her human form completely naked. Everyone was surprised, disgusted, or both, but the demon was aroused. Then Bruno being the gentleman that he is, got his Ruana and put it over her, covering her.
Melissa smiled at this, Bruno noticed and smiled back.
Melissa's mom: T-Thank ya.
Melissa: Ah'I told ya ta go in the house if ya'll wanted ta talk, but Fuck meh right?! Sorry Delores, Mariano, Antonio if ya're in earshot, Pepa, Felix, ah'I have ta talk with mah mom.
Then they nodded and Bruno, Melissa, and her mother went into the casita.
