Two Hearts Becoming One

Chapter 4: A Perfect Love

Things were hectic over the next few days since the attack, but many people helped out, even the inhabitants, with the cleaning and the preparations, much to the relief of the people working hard to get everything in order.

The day of the wedding dawned bright and lovely. Ben stood up at the altar with Rook, Max, and Kevin. He was looking nervously towards the door that leads from the palace down a path to where he stood. They were having the wedding outside the castle with plenty of people here, plumbers, families, and other aliens from allied planets.

With everything done, now all that was left to do is wait for the bride.

'Where is she?' Ben thought, his hands twitching nervously, hidden by his cape.

The music started and all the gathered people stood up from their seats, patiently waiting for the bride to appear.

Lilly, whom was Melody's distant cousin, and Rook Ben stood with their basket full of flowers and pillow carrying the two rings respectively, waiting patiently to go down the aisle first. Melody, however, was being dragged from the nearest room by Whampire.

"I CAN'T! I CAN'T," Melody cried, clinging to the door. "THERE'S TOO MANY PEOPLE!"

Sanre-Oh and Frankenstrike gave a great tug, and managed to pull her free from the door. Blitzwolfer handed her the bouquet of white and yellow roses and gently pushed her forward.

Snare-Oh then comforted her. "Come on, Melody. You've been waiting for this day ever since Ben proposed to you. You don't have to be nervous."

"Everything will be fine, I'm sure of it," Frankenstrike kindly added.

Melody clutched her roses tightly, gulping as Snare-Oh and Frankenstrike pushed open the castle doors that lead outside. The two walked back over and Whampire patted Melody's shoulder.

"My dear, since when are you nervous? Come on. Any girl who can face Lord Transyl can handle a simple wedding." He offered her his arm. She took it with a determined and caring look on her face. Whampire always seemed to know just what to tell her to give her back her confidence.

Lilly and Rook Ben hurried ahead of the group. Lilly, looking very adorable in her pale pink dress, threw rose petals as she walked down the aisle while Rook Ben held up the cushion with the rings looking very proudly.

As soon as Melody appeared with Whampire, all the people smiled for their ruler, quietly spreading gentle gossip of her beauty and good fortune.

"Oh, that's the princess?"

"She's so beautiful."

"I never knew that Earthlings married young too."

"What a lovely dress."

"The groom's a very lucky guy to marry a beautiful princess."

Whispers could be heard as Melody walked down the aisle with her three brother-like friends Snare-Oh, Blitzwolfer, and Frankenstrike and Whampire escorting her like a father should. She smiled when she spotted Ben, standing there, looking just as nervous as she did. But as she looked at him, she felt all her insecurity vanish.

When they finally reached the altar, Whampire nodded and handed Melody's hand to Ben, who accepted it and pulled the girl towards himself. He pulled back the vale and smiled at her, receiving a smile in return.

The music stopped and King Shade cleared his throat before he began the ceremony. "Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends and Families, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Princess Melody and Ben Tennyson. The strength of their commitment is clear and their love is undeniable. Do you, Ben Tennyson, take Melody to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, in life until death do you part?

"For life and even in death, I do," Ben proclaimed, smiling at Melody.

"And do you, Princess Melody, take Ben, to be you lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health; in life until death do you part?" The king asked, looking at Melody.

"Forever and for always, I do," Melody announced.

"May we have the rings please?"

Rook Ben happily hurried up and held up the cushion for the two being wed to reach. Ben took Melody's golden ring and held it up, holding up her left hand. "With this ring, I do declare you my wife, my soul mate, my love, for all eternity," he recited, putting the ring on her ring finger.

Melody took Ben's ring, and smiling, repeated the same phrase, "With this ring, I do declare you my husband, my soul mate, my love, for all eternity." She put the ring on his ring finger.

"It is with deep pride that I now happily pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride!" The king called loudly.

Ben bent his head a little and pressed his lips firmly against Melody's. Without warning, he wrapped his arm around her waist and spun his wife around, their lips still locked in a kiss. People started to clap, whistles punctuated the air.

Melody's mother was crying as well as Snare-Oh and Frankenstrike, Whampire was sniffling, and even Rook Blonko and Kevin were rubbing their eyes.

"Are you crying?" Gwendolyn and Rachel asked the boys as they saw their tears.

"Of course not!" Rook declared. "It is liquid pride!"

"Yeah, it's a totally different thing!" Kevin said as he wiped his eyes clean.

The girls giggled at their boyfriends who are not as tough as they said to be.

At the reception, everyone was gathered in the gardens, several large tables of food set up along with many circular tables meant to be sat at. On a stage that had been set up, a nine layer chocolate cake with white icing and purple and blue roses on it with green iced edges sat. All the children were looking at it hungrily.

After a while, Max and Whampire walked up to the stage with the two newlyweds and called for silence.

"Everyone, we thank you very much for coming," Melody called, waving to everyone and beaming brightly. "Really, thank you."

"It means a lot to us to have so many kind people at our wedding to bless our future," Ben said, bowing to the group as they all cheered for the newlyweds.

Snare-Oh then shouted out as he began to play the DJ. "Let's get this party started!" He then threw the microphone to Rachel who began to sing for the newlyweds.

Ben and Melody smiled as they danced to the music while the others joined in as well. Kevin danced with Gwendolyn, Rook with Rachel and even Whampire danced with Melody after Ben lets her.

"Best. Wedding. EVER!" Rook Ben shouted out as he danced with Lilly and the children.

After the dance, Max Tennyson announced to everyone. "And now the bride and groom will cut the cake," he finished as he handed Melody and Ben the knife.

Melody smiled innocently at her husband, a plan forming in the back of her head as she and he cut the first two slices of cake.

"Ladies first," Ben said, smiling. Melody picked up a slightly larger piece of the cake, and smiled up at Ben.

"Ben, EAT CAKE!" She shoved the cake at his face. Many people gasped while the kids started laughing at the shocked look on Ben's face. However, it soon turned into a smirk as he picked up a piece of cake and smashed it into Melody's face, getting a good amount of icing in her hair.

"Oh, you did not just do that! It took them like, forty-five minutes to do my hair," Melody exclaimed, wiping the cake from her face and throwing it at Ben, who ducked. It hit Rook dead on in the face. Kevin started laughing only to have cake thrown into his face.

"FOOD FIGHT!" Ben shouted.

And with those two words, food started flying everywhere. Even the plumbers and aliens from other planets were laughing as they threw food at anyone and everyone in the place. The only thing that seemed to stay untouched was the cake.

And so the fight went on for about fifteen minutes before someone finally called a halt to all the throwing of the food and the cake was cut and given to everyone. After that, it was time for the throwing of the bouquet as this was a custom on earth.

Rachel blinked as she caught the white and yellow roses without even trying. She looked to her left and blushed when she saw Rook in her sight. Melody and Ben pointed to the two, as they chanted. "ROOK AND RACHEL SITTING IN A TREE! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! FIRST COMES LOVE THEN COMES MARRIAGE THEN COMES ROOK WITH A BABY CARRIAGE!".

Ben then looked at his new wife with love in his eyes. "So Melody, is this everything you ever wanted?"

"Not quite everything," she said kindly as she stared at his bright green eyes with love as well.

Ben smiled as their lips touched again in a loving kiss but this time as a married couple. When they stopped, Ben then asked, "Ready to go?"

"Go where?" She wondered.

"Anywhere you want. We have the whole universe to explore."

"I don't care where as long as I'm with you all the way," she answered.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." He smiled as he activated his omnitrix and turned into Big Chill and carried his bride away in the sky after the party.

In the end, all turned out to be a rather perfect wedding day, even though it will take hours just to get themselves clean again.

THE END!
