Scene 12
Lake Tahoe Hotel
5 years ago…
Normal POV
As the sunlight sparkled off glistening lake Tahoe, people began to get ready for a very special wedding. The white chairs were set up on the beach's shore. They were adorn with roses and daisies, a white trail down the sand leading to a white chapel. The chapel had assorted flowers on the beams, a big golden colored cross on top, and it was just in front of the lake Everything was set, the only thing needed to be done was to get everyone ready.
A very tall brown fox walked out of a room in haste, he was wearing jeans and a white t-shirt. "Where is his room at?" he asked as he walked down a hallway.
"Yo, little bro, over here!" someone yelled. The fox turned his head and saw a room door open. He quickly jogged to it and walked in.
"I wish you could've told me where the room was at Miles." He said.
"I sent you a text earlier! Never mind that though, why the hell are you in day clothes still?" he said.
The brown fox quickly looked at older brother. He had on black suit pants, black suede shoes, a Gucci watch, and a yellow bow tie.
"Already dressed? Isn't it a little early?" said the younger fox.
"Marshall, your watch is late. It starts at 6 and its already 5:30! Hurry up!" he yelled.
Marshall jumped back a bit and said, "Jeez Miles! Calm down man."
Miles rubbed his forehead and said, "Sorry, im just nervous about getting married. That's all."
Marshall had his clothes in his arms and said, "Calm down bro, you are marrying a beautiful girl, just relax. If you are this nervous, imagine Cream! Just sit down for a bit."
"Alright, but she is beautiful huh?" said Miles as he sat on a couch.
Marshall walked into the restroom and closed the door.
"Yeah, but I wish I can get a girl as beautiful as her." Said the younger brother behind the door.
"Hands off bro, she is taken!" joked Miles.
Marshall laughed and opened the door. He wore black pants, a black suit jacket and a brown bow tie. He also wore a black fedora and black and white Kobes.
"Why are you wearing those shoes?" asked Miles as he got up.
"Our step-dad wants me to wear these." Said Marshall as he quickly tied his shoes.
"Got the ring?" he asked.
"Yup." Responded Miles as he gave his younger brother a golden ring adorn with a small green emerald.
"Remember when to give it to me alright? Don't screw this up." Said Miles as Marshall took the ring.
"Relax, I got it. Although it is exciting to be a Best Man" Said his brother as they walked out of the room.
"TAILS!" yelled someone.
Suddenly a blue hedgehog, a black hedgehog, a silver colored hedgehog and a red echidna with violet eyes ran down the hall. They wore similar attire but their bow ties matched their fur color.
"Hey guys." Said Marshall. The echidna took Miles arm and led him outside.
"Better get up their man, Cream is almost ready." He said.
"Don't tell me what to do Knuckles, I know what I got to do." Scoffed Miles.
The bachelors then looked outside and saw the seats were all filled up.
"Damn, everyone is here!" said the black hedgehog.
"Yup, everyone from Cream's and Mile's family" said Sonic.
"Well, I hope everything goes as pla-" Silver stopped mid-sentence.
"Are those Kobes?" he asked as he pointed at Marshall's shoes.
"Yeah, Dante wants me to wear these." He said with a small smile.
Silver then proceeded to give Marshall a nuggie.
"Got to like a different team man!" he said.
"Stop it dude! I hate that man." Said Marshall as he got out of Silvers grip.
"Fellas, get in line!" said Shadow.
The guys looked behind them and said the Maid of Honor and the bridesmaids. The Maid of Honor went up to Marshall and hooked arms with him, she was a purple hedgehog with purple eyes. They wore a basic light-creamed colored dress, they all had roses in their hair.
"I never been Maid of Honor before! This is so exiting!" said the purple hedgehog.
"Well Pie, you are one now." Said Marshall with a smile as the bridesmaids got inline behind them.
Sonic got behind Marshall, Silver behind Sonic, Shadow behind Silver, then Knuckles behind Shadow.
In the Bridesmaids line, Pie was in front, then Amy, then a purple cat with yellow eyes known to them as 'Blaze', then a bat with blue eye shadow and blue eyes behind her, she was known as 'Rouge', then a orange echidna with brown eyes, she was known as 'Tikal'.
"Is Cream ready?" asked Sonic.
"Yup, and she is gorgeous!" said Amy.
"Alright it looks likes they are signaling Marshall and Pie to go first." Said Silver as he tried to look above everyone else.
Marshall and Pie slowly walked down the aisle, with everyone in the seats facing them.
"Im so nervous, everyone is watching." Whispered Pie.
"Relax, just focus on me." Whispered Marshall.
Pie then looked at the tall fox and couldn't help but blush a bit.
"You look lovely." Said Marshall, making Pie blush more.
"You don't look so bad yourself, Zorro." She said as they neared the end of the aisle.
They quickly broke apart and went to their spots.
"Dude, you alright?" whispered Marshall into Miles ear. He was sweating and shaking like a leaf.
"Yeah, just cant wait to see how Cream looks like." He said back.
Pretty soon everyone was in their places as the doors a flock of white doves soared above everyone.
"Ohh…" went everyone as they looked at them.
"I swear if one of them craps on me, Miles is paying for the suit." Said Sonic.
Soon 'Here Comes the Bride' begins to play as everyone stood up. A two figures then slowly walked down the aisle. One of them being Cream, the bride, in a silk white dress, a veil covered her face. And beside her, her father, Vector, a green crocodile.
"I don't see how a rabbit and a crocodile can make someone as beautiful as Cream." Whispered Marshall into Sonic's ear.
"Science and Biology is weird." He replied.
"No wonder you failed it in high school." Chuckled Marshall.
"Shut up!" whispered Tails to the two.
The blue hedgehog and brown fox snickered as Tails returned his attention to Cream. As he looked at her, time almost… began… to slow…down…
Miles POV
As I laced my fingers together, I looked at my soon to be wife and my soon to be father-in-law. I was so nervous, but I was so happy. Cream was the most beautiful thing in the world. Long ears, gorgeous brown eyes, nice cream-colored fur. Even though its kinda taboo for a fox and a rabbit to be together, we didn't care. I fell in love with her since the first day I saw her, 2012, 5 years ago, sophomore year, I was just 15.
I took a quick look at the people who attended the wedding, some of my teachers, my co-workers, and my family. The only family that was actually here was Marshall; my little brother (well technically he is my younger brother, he already passed my height), my mother, she wasn't actually my biological mother, but she treated me like she was. I never knew my real mother, but I was raised by my dad. My father meet and married Marshall's mom, they soon had him, and that is how we are related. They raised us until I was like 6 years old, they divoreced and fought for custody. I couldn't see my dad anymore, well I couldn't visit, but Marshall got stuck with the custody stuff. As soon as Marshall hit 18 years old, he left somewhere. I always wonder where he is at, but he probably wont want to see us. Anyway, when I was 13 and Marshall was 10, our mother meet a brown hedgehog named 'Dante'. She said they were together in high-school, and pretty soon they were dating again. After being together for a year, they got married and 9 months later, I got another brother. His name was Julian, a brown hedgehog like Dante, but with light brown eyes. Usually people looked down on us since my 'mom' is a fox, and step-dad is a hedgehog, but we didn't care. I looked around real quick and saw my mother, Dante, and Julian sitting in the third row. My mom had tears of joy going down her face, Dante was smiling at me, and Julian sat quietly, also with a smile on his face.
I saw Vector continue to walk his daughter up the stairs to the chapel, my heart began beat faster as Cream stood in front of me. As she stood there, I took off her veil and saw her face. She smiled at me and blushed, she then said "Hi Tails."
I smiled at and said, "Hi Cream."
"We shall now begin." Said the priest. When did he get here? I probably didn't notice.
Anyway, he was brownish badger with dark brown eyes, he held the bible in his hands as he began.
"Dearly beloved," he started.
"We are here to celebrated…"
Cream POV
I looked at Tails as he stared at me, I looked into his eyes and I felt my face blush. I always wanted to be with him, every since I first saw him, he was just the nicest, and sweetest person ever. His family was nice to me when I first meet them, his mother and step-dad was so kind to me, and his two brothers were so funny. I took a quick look to my left and saw my mom and father. My mother was a rabbit, her name was 'Vanilla', and my father was a crocodile. I still cant see how I came out to be a perfect rabbit, instead of getting any traits from my dad. I was never ashamed of having a mixed-species family, and neither was Tails. My dad was so protective of me when I first started to date Tails, I remember when he even followed him after school to what he does!
But even when my dad told Tails to stop seeing me, he risked his fur always to see me at school, around town, or even sneaking over to my house to talk to me.
"I am aware that the spouses have wrote there own vows?" asked the preist. I forgot he was speaking, I refocused and answered.
"Yes padre." We replied.
Tails went into his pocket and took out a slip of paper…
Normal POV
As the yellow, two-tailed fox unwrapped the paper, he cleared his throat.
"Ahem." He started.
"Cream, when I first saw you I have always wanted to be with you. You are the most perfect woman in the world, heck, probably the whole universe. I always stood by you and always tried to be with you. We stood together even in the bad times, and laughed in the good times. I will always be true to you, never leave you, never yell at you, and never hurt you. Cream, I love you."
He finished and put the piece of paper back into his pocket. A few tears went down their families and friends faces.
"So fricken beautiful." Said Knuckles as he wiped off a few tears.
Shadow looked at him with surprise and said, "I didn't know you that this stuff touched you."
"Shut up." Sobbed Knuckles.
Cream then unwrapped a piece of paper and began her vow.
" Miles 'Tails' Prower, I am honored to be with you, and to be your wife. I loved you since the beginning, and always will love you. You have done so much for me, done so much to get to see me, and I love you for that. Your family is so kind, your brothers are so nice and funny, but it is you that I want to be with. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, for better or worse. I love you."
She put away the piece of paper and more tears went down everyones faces.
"Beautiful, just beautiful." Said the priest.
"Now, do you, Miles 'Tails' Prower, take Cream the Rabbit as your lawfully wedded wife?" he asked.
"I do." Said Tails with a smile.
"And do you, Cream the Rabbit, take Miles 'Tails' Prower, as your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do." Replied Cream.
"I know pronounce you as Mr. and Mrs. Prower".
"You may kiss the bride." Said the priest to Tails.
Tails and Cream leaned in on each other, slowly, when they were just centimeters away, they kissed each other passionately on the lips.
Soon the whole crowd of people got up and cheered, the groomsmen, best man, bridesmaids, and maid of honor had tears going down their face.
"I love you." Said Tails to Cream through the cheers.
"I love you too." Said Cream as she kissed her husband again…
Later at the reception…
Everyone was in the party room of the hotel, the groomsmen sat at one table, and the bridesmaids sat at one. Tails and Cream sat at one table next to the cake.
"I cant believe it." Said Marshall as Shadow sat next to him.
"What? That your brother got married, or that you cant drink champagne with him." Said Shadow as he sipped on a glass of wine.
"Both, mainly the champagne." Replied Marshall as he looked at Shadow.
"You still got two years to go." Laughed Shadow.
"Hmm." Said Marshall as he looked at Tails and Cream. "It feels like I'm forgetting something…" he mumbled. His hand reached his pocket and he felt something, he took it out and his eyes went wide.
"Dang! I forgot to give him the ring!" said Marshall as he got up. He bolted from his chair and went to Tails and Cream, trying to get past everyone in his way.
"Scuse me, excuse me please…" he said as he tried to get past the people.
He finally reached to where Tails and Cream sat at and said, "Miles, I forgot to give you this."He handed him the ring and the older brother said, "Oh its alright, mistakes happen."Marshall felt a sense of relief as his brother took the ring. "Is that what it looks like?" asked Cream as she looked at it.
"Yup!" said her husband. "Its beautiful!" squealed Cream as she hug Miles.
"By the way, Marsh, you have to do something for me." Said Miles with a smile on his face.
"What?"He then quickly gave him a microphone and shoved him onto a stage.
"Don't ever forget what to do next time." He whispered into his ear.
Marshall looked at his brother, stunned, as a light came down on him.
"He just threw him under the bus, huh?" said Sonic as he looked.
"Yup, payback for not giving him the ring." Said Knuckles.
"This should be good." Said Silver as he leaned in to see.
Marshall stood there stunned, as the whole crowd of people watched, his family, his friends, and co-workers.
SPEECH!
SPEECH!
They chanted. Marshall looked around and saw his older brother with a mischievous smile on his face. He quickly mouthed 'Pay back, Zorro'.
Marshall quickly cleared his throat and looked at the crowd.
"Hello everyone." He started.
"My name is Marshall Jerimiah Prower, I am Miles younger brother, and he chose me as his best man. Um, I don't know what to say really, I never gave a speech before." The crowd laughed, and Marshall waited. They stopped and he continued, "All I want to say is that, Miles, Cream, I wish you both the happiest, longest, and most romantic marriage ever. I know that you two together, you will both love and take care of each other. And, welcome Cream, to the Prower family."
"Aww…" went the crowd.
Marshall then continued.
"You know, I still remembered when you two dated, and that Miles would go all out, buying stuff that he couldn't afford, all for Cream. He would even ask me to loan him money to buy more stuff for her. By the way, you still owe me $200 for that one dinner date."The crowd laughed as Miles raised his glass.
"Maybe when you give me back the money you owe me." He said.
"Anyway, from what I could remember, they were just the cutest, most happiest couple you would ever see. Miles would even sacrifice his life to see Cream after dark at her place, even when Vector told him not to see his daughter."
The crowd laughed. Vector looked at Miles with slight anger and Miles slid under the table a looked at Miles and mouthed "Burns, doesn't it?"
He then continued, "Anyway, concluding my speech, I just want to say that, Miles and Cream, I love you both and I wish a happy, long marriage for you two."
The crowed cheered as Marshall walked down the stage.
"I cant believe you said that!" said Miles to his younger brother.
"Well, next time done allow me to make a speech then!" he laughed.
"Don't worry, Vector wont hurt you… hopefully." He then chuckled…
Later…
The reception was soon ending, only the family and friends stayed. The cake was cut, tears of joy were shared, laughs were shared, and everyone was happy.
As everyone else was dancing in the middle of the room, two people sat at a table, watching. "I cant believe he is actually married." Said Marshall. "I cant believe Cream picked me for maid of honor." Said Pie as she ate some cake.
"I thought she was going to pick Amy." She continued.
"I thought Miles was going to pick Sonic as best man." Said Marshall as he ate some sat back into their chairs, watching everyone dance.
"I wish I could dance with someone." Said Marshall.
Pie blushed and said, "Maybe we can dance?"
Marshall looked at her and said, "People will think we are a couple if we do."
"Everyone knows we are friends, they wont think that." She said with a smile. Pie stood up and took Marshall's hand.
"Come on!" she said as they went to the dance floor.
Almost literary the second they did, a slow song began to play.
"You got to be kidding me." Said Marshall.
"Its alright, just follow my lead Zorro." Said Pie.
She put her hands on his shoulders, but Marshall put his hands on her shoulders. Pie laughed and said, "Like this." She grabbed his hands and put them on her hips. Marshall blushed and said, "Sorry, I never danced before." "Its alright, lets just dance." Said Pie.
Together the purple hedgehog and brown fox slowly turned as they danced together.
"Tails." Said Cream as she danced with her husband.
"What?" he asked.
"Look." Said Cream as she nudged her head towards Marshall and Pie's way.
"Well ill be damned." Said Tails.
As Pie and Marshall danced, he said "People are watching."
"Its alright, just focus on me." Said Pie.
"I told you that earlier." Chuckled Marshall.
"So? lets just dance." Said Pie.
As they continued to dance, everyone began to leave the dance floor, soon leaving them the only ones on the dance floor.
Pie laughed.
"Whats so funny?" asked Marshall. "You are so focused on me that we are the only ones dancing and everyone else is watching." Quickly Marshall picked his head and looked around, everyone was really looking at them.
SLAM!
"Who slammed the door?" asked Blaze.
Quickly, Marshall bolted out the door too in haste…
Why did he leave?
Secrets will be revealed...
