Chapter Twenty Two

The Marriage of the Fish and the Lizard

The wedding between Undyne and Alphys happened in winter. Sadly the 'monsters' didn't realize it didn't snow in California till Shadow told them.

"I wanted a white wedding though!" Undyne shouted.

"That's just not how the weather works here." Shadow sighed and patted her back, "It does snow in the mountains though."

"Looks like we're getting married in the mountains Alphys!" Undyne exclaimed hugging her fiancée.

The group started planning the wedding. If things go as planned it's going to be beautiful.

"Um, Shaddy?" Alphys pulled on Shadow's jacket to get her attention.

"What is it Alphys?"

"Can you maybe be my maid of honor?" She asked with a nervous blush on her face.

"Oh my god, of course, I will be!" Shadow squealed and hugged the shorter girl in front of her. "Also just so you know, you and Undyne are one of my top shippings ever. It's even better that it's canon!"

Alphys squealed with Shadow and the two jumped up and down excitedly. Undyne looked over to the two with Sans and raised an eyebrow. After a shrug, Undyne went over to Papyrus, "Papyrus will you be my best man?"

"WOWIE ME YOU'RE CALLING ME THE BEST MAN EVEN THOUGH I'M STILL IN HIGHSCHOOL!" Papyrus exclaimed.

"No Papyrus, I mean you'll be my right-hand man during the wedding." Undyne tried to explain.

"OH WOW, THAT'S ALMOST AS AMAZING. I'LL DO IT UNDYNE. OF COURSE, YOU'D NEED THE GREAT PAPYRUS TO BE YOUR BEST MAN. NYEHEHEHE!" Papyrus puffed out his chest and grinned.

Sans and Shadow grinned at how Papyrus acted. Shadow soon looked over to Sans and wandered over to him. "Hey Sans~"

"Hey Shad, excited to be a maid of honor?" Sans asked her.

She nodded with a grin and hugged him close to her. She quickly landed a kiss on him and sauntered away from him with a smile on her face. Sans was still surprised by Shadow's antics but he had to say, he loved them.

With that, the group spent a lot of time planning the wedding. It took a lot of effort and hard work but it got done. It was really stressed out everyone but it was worth it when it all came together.

The big day had arrived. Alphys was in a beautiful long white gown. It puffed outwards at her waist and made her look slimmer. The bottom was covered in silvery sparkles that caused light to bounce around the room with every movement. She had on light makeup and her hair was in a bun. As for the maid of honor she had on a black dress. It fit her like a glove. Hugged her waist just right and showed off her legs quite well. She had on silver jewelry and black kitten heels. Her hair was in a ponytail still but it was curled. She finished off her look with shimmering silver eyeshadow.

Shadow was doing her best to calm down Alphys down. She wanted to marry Undyne but she was super nervous and getting cold feet.

"I can't believe I'm gonna m-merry U-undyne!" Alphys said trying to control her breathing.

"Alphys you love her, don't worry about anything, okay? Just stay calm and let's get you out there." Shadow said rubbing the girl's back.

This went on for a little while till Sans burst through the door. He looked like he had something important to say but froze when he saw Shadow. He took a moment to look her up and down. He quickly swallowed his blush and looked at Alphys. "Undyne is starting to get worried get out there you two!"

Shadow shoved Alphys out of the room and onto the aisle. With that, the music started. Looking around the room everything was in a snowy white. Even the smallest of things were a pure white color. Someone walking in might even think its a normal wedding, except for the white spears lining the walls. Alphys was even holding a bouquet of white roses. She practically floated down the aisle while Chara, the flower girl, grumpily threw white petals on the red carpet. The carpet was the only thing that wasn't white. Ariel was the ring bearer and stood by Undyne as Alphys went down the aisle.

Undyne was wearing a white suit with a black tie, while Papyrus was wearing the inverse. Finally, Alphys got up there and they said their vows.

"You may kiss the bride!" Toriel finished with a smile.

Undyne and Alphys shared a long kiss as everyone clapped for them. With the ceremony over the party began.

Undyne and Alphys took the first dance with Shadow and Sans close behind. The music was all slow songs at the start leaving both couples slow dancing. Soon enough the slow songs ended and the fast songs brought everyone to the dance floor. Sans and Shadow had snuck away to hang out a little.

"That was so sweet I cried", Shadow said to Sans holding his hand as they sat there together.

"It was very sweet, I'm happy for the both of them", Sans replied.

After that, the conversation died and the two just enjoyed the company of the other. For them no more words needed to be said to have a good time.

"Punks it's time to throw the flowers!" Undyne yelled.

Shadow got up and winked at Sans as she went to join their small group of females. Alphys threw the bouquet and Shadow managed to catch it. Everyone went quiet and looked to Sans expectantly. Sans gave the crowd a lazy grin and took his time walking over to a stunned Shadow. She had a feeling this was planned by the look on Alphys' and Undyne's face.

Went Sans finally got over there he dropped down on one knee and held a small box in his hand. Before he could utter out a single word, Shadow jumped on him, "Yes!"

"You know that would have been embarrassing if I wasn't asking to marry you", Sans smirked at her.

"I knew you were though so it was worth it." She replied with a grin.

The crowd cheered and Alphys ran to hug Shadow. "C-congratulations!"

"Hey, Alphys could you possibly be my maid of honor?" Shadow asked.

"Yes! Of course, I can!" The girls started squealing together once again causing the same looks that Undyne and Sans gave them earlier.

"They seem happy", Undyne smiled.

"Yeah, they really do. After all of this, we deserve some happiness." Sans replied.

The rest of the night went smoothly. Both couples were getting congratulations from everyone they saw. Shadow left Sans and Undyne to dance with Alphys.

Toriel soon wandered over to them, "They seem happy."

Sans turned to the motherly figure, "I would assume so. Seems like Shadow made a proposal to Alphys."

"Oh a subtle pun, that was quite good", Toriel responded while Undyne groaned.

"What brings you here Tori?" Sans asked with a lazy grin.

"I wanted to see how you were doing. Proposing to Shadow was a huge step and I'm really surprised you took it." Toriel responded.

"Well, I love her plain and simple. I want to spend my forever with her." Sans replied light-heartedly.

Shadow had walked back over there with Alphys in toe. "Hey, mom!"

Shadow surprised Toriel with a hug. The motherly figure laughed at her antics. "Hello dear."

"Did you see the ring Sans got me?" She asked.

"No dear I haven't."

"Neither have I. I got distracted and wandered off before he could give it to me." Shadow giggled and started hugging Sans from behind.

"Want to let me put the ring on you now?" Sans asked with a lazy smirk.

"Yes please!" Shadow chirped.

Sans brought out the ring box and opened it, it was a small ring. The ring had a small rose in the middle of the band. The rose was made out of small rubies. The band was a beautiful white gold. Shadow was speechless when she saw it.

"I saw the rose and thought of you. I know how much you like roses." Sans said while sliding the small ring on her ring finger. Somehow it fit perfectly.

"How did you know my ring size?" Shadow asked.

The only reply she got was a wink. She sighed at him and jumped on him. She pressed her lips roughly against his in a kiss. When she parted their lips were a little bruised.

After that, the wedding went off without any problems. The two couples sat and chatted with each other and watched everyone else dance. They noticed a rather flashy pair on the dance floor as well.

Papyrus and Mettaton were dancing their hearts out together. Shadow was pretty sure they were doing a fast-paced tango. She had no idea how the two danced like that but it was amazing.

Shadow, Alphys, Undyne, and Toriel all looked to Sans after seeing Papyrus dance like that.

"So Sansy~" Shadow practically sang, "Can you dance like that too?"

Sans rose an eyebrow at her, "No not like that doll."

Shadow blushed bright red, "Then how do you dance?"

Sans jumped out of the chair and did a backflip landed flawlessly and started break dancing. After a few moves, like spinning on his fucking head he jumped back up and bowed. "Like that sweetheart."

Shadow's face got redder but the small group was amazed. "That was pretty amazing punk!"

"W-wow Sans that was awesome."

"Well well, who knew you could bust a move like that", Toriel giggled.

"Wow, Sans, that was pretty amazing, you really broke our expectations." Shadow joined Toriel in making puns.

Sans smirked and grabbed Shadow close to him, "I can tango too. Who do you think taught Papyrus?"

Sans soon spun Shadow out and spun her back to him then dipped her. The rest of the night went on with a dance contest. Turns out Shadow had rhythm but still couldn't dance well. Sans ended up winning the contest. The rest of the night was filled with laughter and joy. This was a new age for humans and monsters. Luckily for them, they live in California, southern California, one of the more diverse states. If any place were to accept them it's there.
