A/N
Here's more of the story.
I hope people like.
It's a little quiet on the review front.
Rumpel was nervous as he woke up that morning as a few days had passed and the day of his and Elphaba's wedding was here but he was nervous as he left the room he and Elphaba were in at his lair as he needed some advice and saw Artie and Shrek awake.
"Hey you okay?
Today's the big day huh?
You're nervous right?" Shrek asked.
Eumpel nodded in reply.
"I-I'm nervous.
Is it nervous to feel this way?" he answered.
Shrek nodded.
"Aye it's normal.
You and Elphaba love each other right?" he answered.
Rumpel nodded.
"Yeah but this is a big step." he answered.
They understood.
"Yeah but you're not going to be alone.
The others and us are going to help you.
It's what being part of a family is all about." Artie said.
Rumpel was stunned hearing this.
He then decided to agree with them.
He knew that Elphaba and him would be a good couple.
But he saw Artie get excited seeing Leah.
"Is Carley awake yet?" he asked.
"In a while but why?" she asked.
"N-No reason." he replied blushing.
Shrek gasped seeing this.
He had a feeling he had a crush on her since they returned and after she'd used her and Ogre Child's Ogreix and hadn't been able to tell her but the ogre male sighed.
"You have feelings for her, right?" he asked.
He nodded blushing.
Leah understood hearing footsteps.
"What's going on?" Molly asked.
"Nothing." Leah answered.
The eleven year old saw her give Artie a look.
She shook her head as they went to the dining room.
They were excited about the wedding today.
"We should get into our wedding clothes." Artie said.
Leah nodded remembering the other day when Raul had been doing fittings on them for the clothes they were to wear but remembered that Shrek had gotten stuck in the tux he'd been wearing.
Leah then left after eating breakfast as she went to her and Carley's room.
She hoped that her friend was okay.
Carley's eyes opened as she heard the door open as she was sitting on the huge bed but Leah was happy seeing her awake but knew that she was excited as she sat on the bed beside her.
She was dressed in a tux which she knew the others would find strange but she didn't care as she had always wanted to wear one like some of her friends but Carley smiled as she was getting dressed in clothes as she was going to get breakfast.
"I'll see you in a while Leah-chan." she said leaving.
Leah knew Artie would be happy seeing her in the dining room.
She then went downstairs to join the others.
But she smiled seeing Shrek and the others in their wedding garb.
"Where's Carley?" Molly asked her.
"She's getting breakfast and then she's getting dressed.
You know what she's like when she doesn't eat." Leah told her.
"Yeah that's true." she replied.
They then went to do their own things.
Elphaba was in her and Rumpel's room getting ready but was wearing a black wedding dress even if she was the bride but had used magic to make it as Raul had suggested she wear pink which the witch hated but smiled seeing Rumpel as he kissed her.
She smiled at this but had an idea.
"What is it?" he asked.
"I could use my magic to make you taller." she said.
He smiled.
"Thanks Elphie but I like being my normal height." he told her.
She understood as she hugged him as it was alnost time.
Artie was stunned seeing Carley in a punky black dress with green tassles and biker boots with studs which Raul had came up with as it suited her personality but he loved this as she blushed at the young king.
"T-Thanks Artie." she answered.
"No problem.
You look beauitful." he said.
He had no idea that Leah was watching.
He sighed as they knew that the wedding would be starting.
"We should hustle." she said as she and Carley left.
Artie just followed after them and decided not to take the carriage.
He hoped Lillian would understand.
Later that afternoon, the happy couple left the church but were heading back to the castle along with their friends to get ready for the wedding reception later that night but Leah saw Artie warching Carley with Shrek.
She was telling him about dragon racing, a popular new sport in Aria and he was curious.
"Shrek's right.
You do have feelings for her.
Why don't you tell her?" she said.
"Because I'm afraid of getting rejected.
Plus we live in two different worlds.
It just wouldn't work out." he said.
Leah felt bad for him.
"Maybe you should try.
I know she won't reject you." she answered.
He nodded but saw a dragon appear but it had came from Aria.
Artie then found himself on the back of it but didn't care.
He had that toasty feeling he got around her.
"What're we doing?" he asked.
"Dragon racing." she answered.
Artie then held on tight as they were going faster than a speeding bullet along with Dragon as Shrek was on her back racing against them but were having fun as anything went in dragon racing but were having a lot of fun.
Later Artie along with Shrek and Carley were sitting outside in the forest but he noticed that Artie was quiet as he saw Carley looking up at the clear blue skies and at cloud shapes but the ogre male smiled as he knew she was day dreaming about things especially Aria but he noticed Artie was acting weird but understood as he was quiet but went to get ready for the party but smiled seeing Rumpel eating cupcakes along with Elphaba and were giggling as they were enjoying being married but he smiled going to his room in the castle.
He hoped that things would get better as he knew that in his friend's world, it was near the end of Summer but knew they would have to return and knew that was why his best human friend was quiet but he understood.
He then saw her leave and head to the castle...
