Nico pov: I'm still not sure what happened to me since one second I'm reading Corpse Bride the next I'm in a forest.
"A creepy one at that." I thought with a shudder, as I was walking around I heard two voices. "It's just few simple vows." A gentle voice said, I could tell it was a man's voice.
"You just got nervous because the pressure." A velvety voice replied, that voice I'd know anywhere. "Freddie's here too?" I thought, I followed the voices and found Freddie.
"Who is Freddie with?" I thought in wonder, just as I was about to call her name, Freddie grabbed me. "Who are...Nico?" Freddie asked me. "Hey Freddie." I said to her.
She let me go then introduced me to her new friend Victor and he told me what they were doing out here. "That's so not cool." I told them, they both agreed with me on that.
"This looks like a good place to practice." Freddie told Victor. "I don't know." Victor said with a sigh, we managed to convince him and started to practice but stumbled a bit.
"Come on Victor! Just remember who your doing this for!" I told him, he then got a look of determination and said the vows perfectly as he placed the ring on a stick.
As I congratulated Victor we heard and saw crows all around us. "Something's wrong." Freddie muttered. "What do you mean?" I asked her, just then Victor let out a yelp.
Freddie and I saw that a hand was gripping Victor's arm. "Victor!" Freddie and I shouted, we helped pull him back but the limb came off and still gripped his arm.
"What the huh?!" I yelled out, just then the ground under the tree started to move a woman came out of the ground shocking the three of us into a frozen daze.
Once she moved her veil back we saw that she had blue skin and some bones showing. "I do." She said softly, she held out her hand to Victor who was scared.
Victor, Freddie and I made a run for it but I had to drag Freddie since she had been entranced by the corpse. "I think that's Emily." Freddie whispered to me in surprise.
We soon made it to the bridge near town, I turned back to the forest but didn't see the woman however when we turned back around the woman was behind us.
Victor backed us up against the side of the bridge's wall. "You may kiss the bride." Emily told Victor, the three of us blacked out on the bridge from the shock.
Third Person pov: As Victor, Freddie and Nico came to, they heard voices. "What happened?" Freddie mumbled, the trio woke up. "Oh, three new arrivals!" A skeleton announced.
"They must've fainted. Are you alright?" Emily asked as she help up Victor's head. "W-what's going on?" Nico asked, he grabbed Freddie's hand which surprised the girl.
"Looks like we've got some live ones." Old skeleton said. "Do they have a dead brother?" Ms. Plum asked, a younger skeleton poked Victor. "They're still soft." Skeleton boy stated.
Victor, Nico and Freddie stood up and looked around the pub, once they found out what happened in the woods Victor freaked out and asked for some answers.
"Well that's kind of a long story." Emily replied. "And what a story it is." A smooth voice replied. Everyone then looked over to a skeleton wearing a hat and had one eye.
"A tragic story of romance, passion and a murder most foul." Bonejangles added. "This is gonna be good." Bonesapart whispered, Victor dropped him in surprise.
This made Freddie and Nico nearly laugh. "Hit it boys." Bonejangles told the band, when the music started Freddie, Nico and Victor payed attention to the story.
[Bonejangles]
Hey! Give me a listen, you corpses of cheer
Least those of you who still got an ear
I'll tell you a story make a skeleton cry
Of our own judiciously lovely corpse bride!
Everyone in the pub joined in as the spotlight shined on Emily.
[All]
Die, die we all pass away
We don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay,
Victor tried to leave but got pulled back by a skeleton with a monocle.
You might try 'n' hide
And you might try 'n' pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeahhh!
Emily was then pulled onto the stage by Bonejangles as their shadows started to show Emily's story in the background as Victor, Freddie and Nico watched the shadows.
[Bonejangles]
Well our girl was a beauty known for miles around
'Till a mysterious stranger came into town
He was plenty good lookin', but down on his cash
And our poor little baby, she fell hard and fast
When her daddy said no, she just couldn't cope
So our lovers came up with a plan to elope
Two skeletons huddled against Victor, causing him to dance with them while Freddie and Nico swayed to the music before starting to dance more to the jazz music.
[All]
Die, die we all pass away
We don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay,
You might try 'n' hide
And you might try 'n' pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Bonejangles started to scat while the others sang.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeahhh!
All the skeletons from the band started a dance routine as they used their bodies for instruments and as music played Bonejangles grabbed Victor and they danced while Freddie and Nico did the same but they had fun.
[Bonejangles]
Aw, that's nice.
So they conjured up a plan to meet late at night
They told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight
Now her mother's weddin' dress fit like a glove
You don't need much when you're really in love
Except for a few things, or so I'm told
Like the family jewels and a satchel of gold
The next to the grave yard by the old oak tree
On a dark foggy night at a quarter to three
She was ready to go, but where was he?
[Monocle Skeleton]
And then?
[Bonejangles]
She waited
[Ms. Plum]
And then?
[Bonejangles]
There in the shadows, was it the man?
[Freddie and Nico]
And then?
[Bonejangles]
Her little heart beat so loud
[All]
And then?
[Bonejangles]
And then baby, everything went black
Now when she opened her eyes she was dead as dust
Her jewels were missin' and her heart was bust,
Bonejangles then moved to stand by Victor and everyone started clapping to the beat.
So she made a vow lying under that tree
That she'd wait for her true love to come set her free!
Emily held out her hand, asking Victor to dance with her. Bonejangles pushed Victor into the middle and the two danced until Victor let go with Nico and Freddie catching him.
Always waiting for someone to ask for her hand
When out of the blue came this groove young man
Who vows forever to be by her side
And that's the story of our corpse bride!
[All]
Die, die we all pass away
We don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay,
Victor managed to sneak away and ran out of the pub while dragging Nico and Freddie with him, none of them noticed that Emily saw them leaving the pub and party.
You might try 'n' hide
You might try 'n' pray
But well end up the remains of the day!
Freddie pov: I can't believe Victor dragged me out of the pub we were in. "Why'd we have to leave before the song was over?" I asked Victor, we were hiding behind a statue.
"Why is it that your not scared?" Victor asked me, I smirked at him. "If you knew who my Dad was, then you'd know why I'm not scared." I replied, Nico started to snicker.
The three of us kept an eye out for Emily in case she found us. "We need to get out of here." Victor told us, I rolled my eyes. "How're we gonna do that?" Nico asked Victor.
I saw Emily and smiled softly at her, just before Emily looked our way I heard the worm's voice. "There he is! He's getting away!" Mr. Worm shouted out.
Victor grabbed my arm and we ran around town trying to avoid his new wife even though I heard her calling out Victor's name and asking where he'd gone.
"Funny. I didn't think Victor would avoid his wife until the first honeymoon." I whispered to Nico, this caused him to laugh softly but he stopped when we got to wall.
"Now what?" Nico asked Victor in worry, just then we heard Emily's voice calling for Victor and this made him start climbing the wall. "We go up." I replied.
"Guess that's my answer." Nico responded, we climbed up the wall when Victor grabbed Emily's leg and I smiled again as we were pulled up onto the cliff.
"Could've used the stairs sillies." Emily told us, I smirked at her. "But where's the fun in that?" I asked Emily, she giggled at my question then started to talk to Victor.
I pulled Nico aside to talk with him. "How'd you get here?" I asked him. "I was in my room reading Corpse Bride when I suddenly found myself in the woods." Nico replied.
After a second he spoke up. "What about you?" Nico asked me, I sighed. "The same thing only I wished I could help Emily and then I woke up in Victor's room after he found me outside his house." I answered.
We thought about what happens in the story and I told Nico about Barkis being at the Everglot's manor while the wedding rehearsal was going on.
"So, that means we can help Emily and Victor get together while helping Victoria out with the money problem." Nico told me, before I replied a clap of thunder rang out startling us and making me hold Nico's hand.
Nico and I looked at each other and knew what this meant. "Elder Gutknect." Nico and I whispered, we then followed Victor, Emily and Victor's dog Scraps to the tallest tower.
