I absolutely loved SilverStag9's idea to do a wedding crashed by something/someone the Guardians know. It being Jack's wedding is even better. I tried to be vague because this could be me the great and powerful Author describing a wedding without Scarlett (an OC of mine). Up to you guys and your imagination!
Pitch hadn't meant to do it. After all, Cupid was furious with him and probably had a long lecture prepared for when the two of them alone. Which was something he did not want to happen. But sometimes things don't work out the way you expect them to.
It all started when he got the invite a few weeks before the Incident to Jack Frost's wedding. That's right. Jack was getting married.
"Why would he want us there?" Pitch asked as he handed the invitation to Cupid as he drank his coffee. He drank his coffee black, of course. Cupid squealed as she read the small card.
"Because we helped them! Don't you think they make the cutest couple?! Besides us, of course," Cupid said that last part in a sing-song voice. Pitch rolled his eyes endearingly and let a small smile grace his lips. "Can we go?"
"Like I could say no to you," Pitch kissed her forehead before he stood up and made his way over to the kitchen counter for a refill. "When is it?"
"In two weeks. Which gives me just enough time to see if they need any help, pick out my outfit, and get the lovely couple a wedding present. Do you have a suit you can wear that isn't completely black?" Cupid asked. Pitch blinked a couple times. She should've known the answer to that question. "Okay, I'll find one for you. This is so exciting!"
Cupid fluttered over to Pitch and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before leaving his lair. Although since he wasn't evil anymore, Pitch might need to come up with a new name for it. One less...villainous.
Which was something he would have plenty of time to do since he wouldn't see much of his girlfriend during the next two weeks.
He probably should have seen it coming. After all, who wouldn't want Cupid, the Cupid and bearer of love and all that good stuff, to help prepare their wedding. The only time he saw her was when she was getting his measurements for his suit. Thanks to compromising, the suit was a dark grey with a maroon ascot and gold accents.
Pitch didn't hate it, so he agreed to wear it. Plus it made Cupid smile when she saw him in it.
"I'm going to go early to finish setting up. Don't be late, okay?" Cupid sent a pointed look at the king of Nightmares who looked away and crossed his arms in embarrassment.
"I said I was sorry. And I haven't forgotten a date since!" Pitch muttered.
His horses were tired of being cooped up in the lair that needed a new name, so Pitch decided to let a few pull his chariot when he went to leave for the wedding. It wasn't his fault they were a little rusty.
Sure, maybe he should have taken them on more walks. And maybe he shouldn't have waited so long to tug on the reins. But how was he supposed to know they'd try to stop by themselves?
It was definitely not Pitch's fault that they headed skidded to a stop. It was not his fault that the chariot got separated from the nightmares. It was not his fault that the chariot crashed through one of the walls at North's place. And it was most certainly not his fault that the wall he crashed into happened to lead into the room the ceremony was supposed to take place.
He winced as everyone in the room turned to find the source of the disruption. If looks could kill, then all of the Guardians, excluding the couple who were still getting ready, and Cupid would have ended his life that day. Not to mention the yetis and elves who were in the room as well as Mother Nature and Father Time, who had arrived early like him. Unfortunately, Pitch wasn't lucky enough to die and get out of having to take responsibility for his actions.
Cupid was prepared for anything, including the destruction of decorations. As were the yetis and elves, who were used to things going wrong after all incidents including bad guys (including Pitch at one point), had back up supplies as well. And with the help of Gaia, who vowed to get even with Pitch after the wedding, regrew the flowers that had gotten smashed under the remains of the chariot.
The wedding was a success and the couple had no idea that Pitch had crashed the celebration. Literally crashed it. Even though he knew he was in a heap of trouble, Pitch had to admit it was one of the best weddings he'd ever been to. Especially since the boogeyman had almost ruined the whole things.
Even the Burgess kids, though most were teenagers at that point, were involved. Sophie was the flower girl Jamie was the ring bearer, Pippa and Cupcake carried the bride's train, the twins were Ushers, and Monty was in charge of checking off names of those present as guests arrived.
Let be known that Cupid did indeed lecture Pitch. As did North, Sandy, Bunny, Tooth, Gaia, Father Time, Phil the Yeti, Jingle the elf (from chapter 18) and even little Sophie. Pitch never rode his chariot to a wedding ever again. Not that Cupid would've let him.
AN: I tried to make this prompt funny. I don't know if I succeeded, but I tried! Let me know if you have any ideas for the hundredth chapter. Only 4 more chapters to go for this story!
Tooth: *sniffles* That's so sad.
Kitkat: Don't worry; I'll probably write another ROTG story.
Jack: That's what's so sad. As if this wasn't torture enough.
Pitch: Even for me, that was harsh.
Kitkat: *shoots Jack a death glare* Until next time…..
Kitkat Out!
