Finn and Amanda ran around the building, searching for the limo that would be taking them to the reception. Finn squeezed his wife's hand as his fast pace slowed down drastically when he took noticed of the sky. Finn could've swore the sky was clear blue a half hour before instead of the dark grey it was currently.

"Amanda, you noticed the color of the sky?" he asked.

"Hmmm yeah, that's strange" Amanda answered. "Was it this cold? I thought it was suppose to be warm today."

Finn shrugged before really taking in what she'd said. "Wait, what you just say?"

"I said, I didn't think it was this cold earlier," Amanda repeated, "Why?"

Finn wrapped a protective arm around Amanda and pulled her close to his side.

"Finn, what's going on? What's wrong?"

He didn't' reply, he continued to hold her and appeared to be searching the skies for something. "No" she whispered as she turned towards him, "But…she's been gone for SO long…"

"Just waiting for the perfect moment to strike us when we're happy" Finn growled through his teeth.

"It could be a mistake, I mean, we've been wrong before" Amanda said, almost as if she was trying to convince herself that it wasn't true.

"I'm not taking that chance" Finn said as he pulled her close in a hug. "Go back inside, I'll take a look around here" Finn practically pushed Amanda towards the door.

"No" Amanda said fiercely, "I'm not leaving you."

Finn knew better than to argue since she would continue to fight for her way. He grabbed her hand and smiled at her.

"It'll be ok, I promise."

The dreaded words that Amanda, on occasion, never liked to hear. As encouraging as it sounded, Amanda had had too much of a past whenever Finn said those words. It brought her back to prom night.

"I trust you," she said, hoping this time it would all work in their favor.

They continued their search for the limo while being cautious about their surroundings as he dialed Philby.

"You've been gone for two minutes, what the heck?" he answered, chuckling as the other Keepers gathered around the phone as he put it on speaker.

"Walk outside" Finn simply answered, turning around, waiting to see them from afar.

"Phew, it got cold" Finn heard Willa say as a pause came over the group of friends.

"Funny how things work like that" Maybeck groaned as the realization had gone through them all.

"What do we do Finn" Philby quickly asked.

"Well, considering the fact that I haven't seen her yet, I'm trying not to worry too much" he said, but was soon interrupted by Jess screaming.

"Finn, look up!" he heard from behind.

As much as he didn't want too, he obeyed Jess's command and looked up with Amanda gasping by his side at the sight of a big shadow casting over their heads. It wasn't what Finn would've expected to see, but the sight of the creature, a crow to be exact, made his stomach churn, and with the added pressure of Amanda's hand squeezing his didn't help at all.

"Are you kidding me?" Finn growled at the crow that circled around and darted itself towards the couple, who started running back in the direction of the wedding party.

"What..are…we…gonna…dooooo" Amanda stumbled over her words as they continued their fast pace.

"Stay with Jess, I'll come back for you" Finn shouted over the crow's obnoxious noises.

"No! I'm not leaving you! For better or for worse" Amanda shouted back as she grabbed Finn into a force filled kiss that would surely change his mind if Amanda had anything to do with it.

"Ok" Finn breathed out as he raced around the crowd as the crow, that Finn was pretty positive who it really was, soured through the crowd causing more chaos than he wanted.

"Feel like preforming some powers babe?" Finn asked, grinning at his bride. The smile she gave him back was all the confirmation he needed for his plan. As they headed towards the woods, before he could put his plan into action, the crow shrieked, getting the attention of the two and causing them to halt and turned around just in time to see the transformation of the crow, into a green faced fairy that Finn hadn't see since prom night.

"Well well well, long time no see Finn" she scowled at the recollection of their last meeting. "I've been gone for quite some time as you, I'm sure, have realized. But I'm back, and stronger than ever" she grinned evilly.

Finn, feeling brave at the sight of the fairy, grinned back, "and uglier, seriously, Botox didn't treat you well." He ignored the slap from Amanda, but he knew by the twinkle in her eye that she was proud of him nonetheless.

"The years have been good to you in the bravery section have they now my little Finnegan, but not in the strength category I'm afraid to say because I will destroy you this time, and take over Disney like I tried years ago and you. Will. Not. STOP ME!" Maleficent bellowed, sending shivers down Amanda's spine as she tightened her grip around Finn's waist as she hid behind him.

"Amanda, please go," Finn whispered as Maleficent walked slowly towards them.

"No" Amanda whispered back harshly so that Finn wasn't sure if he was scared of the green fairy, or what Amanda would do to him if he lived through this if he sent her away.

"Ok, then we're going to have to use your powers if that's alright," Finn hesitated, still slightly frightened by the tone of Amanda's last response.

"That's what I'm here for" Amanda said as she kissed his cheek before whispering her plan of action.

"So Finn," Maleficent continued, not paying attention to what Amanda was doing behind him, "How's married life?" she asked, not at all interested.

"So far so good" Finn raised an eyebrow, "How's life in the swamp?" feeling in the mood to confuse the old bat.

Maleficent's unpleasant smile turned into the worse face he'd ever seen her make as he said something he shouldn't have.

"You worthless little boy!"

"Ah ah ah, I'm not so little anymore" Finn corrected her, which really set her off as she spun around with her arms in the air chanting.

What occurred next happened so fast; Finn wasn't sure how he was still living, for he'd missed her spell by inches. Finn wondered how he had escaped death so closely, until his beautiful bride step out from behind a tree with her hands quivering which only Finn knew the meaning. It meant she was using her powers to save him, and accomplish what little of a plan they had formed in their race into the woods.

"How did you…?" Maleficent, surprised, asked as Amanda continued her weird hand movements that were soon set to work in levitating the one object Maleficent couldn't do without, her magic staff.

Finn had remembered how she'd used it in the underground world to cast him and Amanda into oblivion but had been miraculously saved by Smee and a trap door. Finn would bet his life, of course not the absolute perfect moment to do so, that she was somewhat powerless without her staff. He would soon find out as Amanda, with all the strength she had in her, managed to lift the staff from behind Maleficent while she was in her rage and confusion at Amanda's powers.

"Well little girl, I guess my plans have changed" Maleficent smiled as she moved towards Amanda. The fairy didn't even noticed the placement of her magic staff was above her head as she placed her arms in front of her and resumed her chanting.

"Fiiiiinnnnnnnn" Amanda stuttered, losing her emotional strength, as Maleficent was serious this time and not messing around.

Finn came to his senses after seeing the look on Amanda's face that tore him apart inside. He realized the reason he'd been pushed aside was from Amanda and her powers, that it was his turn to save her. He scrambled up as fast as he could just when Maleficent's chanting had stopped suddenly as she faced the shaky Amanda.

"No!" Finn yelled, hoping to distract Maleficent, although that was a pipe dream. Knowing it wouldn't do any good; he did the one thing he could do to save Amanda. He sprinted in the direction of the commotion and dove in front of Amanda, in hopes of protecting her, and took the spell that was meant for his bride.

Because I'm such a mean author, I'm ending this chapter on a cliffhanger…but on the bright side, this is the second to last chapter! I have completed this story actually but won't be posting the ending till later so be patient!
