Forget It

Chapter 17: Getting married?!

Jill went about her business for the next week with a spring in her step. Skye would send her notes every night, notes that said things along the lines of having radiant beauty and not needing to worry about a dress.

Finally, the night before the wedding, someone knocked on the door. The teen opened it to see her fiancé. A grin spread across her face when she saw what he was holding. It was a white silk gown. Glittering gems lined the hem, the neckline, and the sleeves.

"Hello, beautiful." The thief's voice was soft. He held out the dress to her.

Jill took it. "Skye, it's beautiful. Please don't tell me you stole it."

"Something this elegant? No, the Harvest Goddess made it, just for you." Since her arms were full with the dress, Skye stole a kiss on her cheek. "I will see you tomorrow morning in that dress, my love."

The teen smiled at him as she held the dress close. "Good night, then." Skye closed the door and left.

The next morning, Jill put on her wedding dress. It fit her perfectly, flowing over her body so comfortably. She left her hair down and put on some makeup.

The teen ran a hand through her dark locks. Wow, marriage. She didn't know what was in store, but she was excited. She grinned at herself in the mirror and used the purple gem of the teleport stone to get to the Goddess Pond.

Skye was already there. "My beautiful, I will love you forever." He snorted, then continued. "I will love you when you are sick, and wherever you will go. Nothing will stop my love."

Jill looked at him. "My love knows no bounds. I will love you for as long as I live."

He swept her off her feet and kissed her. "Goddess, do we have your blessing?"

The green-haired woman smiled. "Of course. A bit of an unconventional wedding, but it works." She rung her bell and the newly wedded couple shivered when they felt the magic pass over them both. "May you be blessed for as long as you live."

Skye kissed Jill passionately. She fumbled with her teleport stone and teleported them both home. Finally, he let her down.

"I'm sorry, but I still have to run my farm." Jill slid her golden band around the fourth finger of her left hand.

Skye smiled at her. "Of course. I wouldn't mind a little catch-up on my sleep, especially if we're to enjoy each other's company tonight."

Jill blushed, changed, and fled to do her farmwork.
