"Gildar I swear if you touch that folder I will throw you in the dungeon." Ballista almost shouted.
"It's my wedding to." He argued.
The couple who were currently planning their wedding were at Gildar's parent's house in Gildar's old bedroom. Ballista sat crossed-legged on the bed going through pieces of important paper. They only went away so they could get away from the noise of the castle. The pair heard a knock at the door.
"How are we getting on?" Thora asked.
"It's a nightmare and you son isn't any help." Ballista said stressing out.
"Boys are useless at planning." Thora said, "Gildar help your fiancée out."
Thora left some tea on a tray on Gildar's old dressing table.
"What's the big deal anyway?" Gildar asked.
This was a big mistake. When Ballista lifted her head, Gildar swore her eyes turned red and steam was coming out of her ears.
"What's the big deal, what's the big deal; I'll tell you what the big deal is. Your brother's wedding was apparently the best wedding ever. We are going to beat that and we are going to have a fantastic wedding." Ballista said vigorously.
"Okay, what needs doing?" He asked.
"You can sort out food and entertainment and no before you ask Kook will not be entertaining. I do not want our guests covered in slime." She stated.
"I heard you loud and clear." He said getting up.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"I'm getting some tea." He said pointing to the tray.
"You can have tea when you've finished sorting out food and entertainment." She said aggressively.
Gildar did what he was told. He sat down and flicked his hair and wrote down a list of suggestions for what they could eat for their wedding dinner. Gildar thought about getting a DJ and something else like a magician for entertainment. When he was finished he looked up at Ballista who looked as if she was about to burst into tears over the seating plan. He sighed and snatched the piece of paper away and placed it careful down next to the tea. Before Ballista could argue with him for taking it away, he pulled her in for a hug. Ballista felt calmer than before, she and Gildar lay on the bed and hugged for a bit more.
"Better?" He asked.
"Better." She replied, "I've been a nightmare."
"No, you haven't you were right we are going to have a fantastic wedding." Gildar said.
"Yeah how do you know?" Ballista asked.
"Because we will be getting married, our friends will be there and at the end of the day we will be in a hotel room waiting so we can go on our honeymoon." He told her.
"I love you, you know that right?" She said.
"Yes and I love you to." He said kissing her.
"Can I have my seating plan back?" She asked.
"No because we are having the afternoon off and we are going to do something." Gildar said.
"Like what?" She asked.
"How about a date, we haven't been on one for ages." He suggested.
"Okay, I'll get changed." She said jumping up off the bed and leaving the room.
Gildar smiled to himself then got himself ready. He washed his hair so it was extra smooth and shiny. He got changed then saw a book under his bed. He realised it was his diary from when he was a teenager. He quickly flicked through it; Ballista entered wearing a vest top and shorts. She kneeled beside him.
"What's that?" She asked.
"My dairy from when I was a teenager." He explained.
Ballista nodded then snatched the dairy away from him. She flicked through it; Gildar was trying to snatch it back though it was hard as Ballista was running around the room trying to get away from him.
"Ballista, give it back." Gildar said almost pleading.
"No, this is great and really sweet." She said flicking through another page.
Gildar finally snatched it back and threw it on the bed. He then pulled Ballista out of the room and down the stairs.
"Mum, we're going out." Gildar shouted.
"Have a great time." Thora called back.
"We will." Ballista shouted.
The couple walked out of the house.
"I think I should show you around Handsomeville properly." Gildar said.
"Fine by me." She said.
"So, what do you want to see first, the allay way of mirrors or the water fountain?" He asked.
"Water fountain sounds like fun." Ballista said.
"Let's go then." Gildar said holding Ballista's hand and leading her through Handsomeville.
Ballista realised that almost every street had a mirror and every 2 streets had a shop which sold mirrors.
"Wow, there are so many mirrors." She said looking around.
"Yeah I know the council thought about recalling this town Mirrorville but they couldn't as yours truly used to live here." Gildar said.
"Yeah right, we are not having mirrors at our…" Ballista was saying.
"Do not mention our wedding; this afternoon is going to be a wedding free afternoon." Gildar said before she could finish her sentence.
"Okay, fine." She said.
The pair reached the fountain, Gildar held out two coins which they threw into the fountain and made a wish. Next Gildar took her to the alley way of mirrors. Ballista had never seen so many mirrors in her life. The whole of the alley was filled with mirrors. You couldn't even see the wall they were put on. After the alley way, the pair just strolled around Handsomeville; Ballista was surprised by how many people Gildar knew. People kept greeting them with hellos and I haven't seen you in years. After being out for 2 hours the pair arrived back at Gildar's family house. Thora was in the middle of cooking the dinner.
"You're back early." She exclaimed.
"Well, we just strolled around Handsomeville." Ballista explained.
"That's nice; dinner will be ready in half an hour." She said returning back to the kitchen.
The couple went back up to Gildar's bedroom. Ballista spotted a photo in the corner of the room.
"Oh my, it's teenage Gildar." She said looking at the picture.
"Oh no, please give it here." He said trying to snatch it off her, "This never happened in your childhood house."
"That's because my Nan died and my dad was earwigging on our conversation." She explained.
"You should forgive him for that before the wedding." Gildar said.
"I will." She said.
Finally dinner was ready, everyone tucked into it. Nobody knew how hungry they all were until they started eating. Everyone was talking about the wedding; Ballista answered most of the questions. Gildar just sat there smiling at his fiancée. Gildar's phone vibrated. He looked to discover that Kook had sent him a message asking him when he and Ballista should be back.
"Honey, Kook wants to know when we will be returning to the castle." Gildar said.
"A few days." She replied instantly then went back to answering questions.
Gildar stared into space for a few minutes then he was awoken by the sounds of Ballista's voice.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"Yep just tired, it's been a long day." He replied.
"Well get a good night's sleep because tomorrow we will be finishing our wedding plans." Ballista said kissing his cheek.
"Can't wait."
