Well, it's finally here! And what a ride it's been. I will be doing more stories, don't worry. As you can see from my avatar, I used some photoshop skills to show what the beautiful couple looked like. That was fun. I thank all of you for reading and this for Icee. A longer chapter. ;-) Wait till you read the next story. Bwahaha. Happy reading!


Robbie arrived at the airship. The door was open. He walked inside and looked around. "Hm. Well, it's been a while. How am I supposed to get these rings? There is nothing in here."

"Hello, Robbie. Sportacus told me you were coming."

Robbie nearly jumped out of his spats. "Who was that?" He looked around quickly.

"I am the airship. Or as Elena insists on calling me, Ezra."

He turned around and saw a communication device on the wall. "Oh, so you're Ezra. Good. I thought Elena was losing it. So, where are the rings?"

A wall plate opened and it extended a small box. Robbie reached out and took it. "Thank you." His eyebrows furrowed.

"You're welcome."

Robbie stopped. "You sound quite cheery for a computer." Then he exited the ship and went back to the mayors house.


Sportacus walked into the living room. "Son, you look like you're ready to get married."

"Mayor, I can't thank you and Bessie enough for all you've done."

"Oh, Sportacus, you've saved us so many times it's the least we could do."

Sportacus looked out the window impatiently for Robbie. "He should be back by now."

He started to pace. "What if something happened? I should go check. Do you think Elena's doing ok?" He was becoming nervous. He began to pace nervously. He was lost in his thoughts, but he wasn't thinking. He was thinking about thinking. His father stepped in front of him.

"I was wondering when it would hit. It's all sinking in. Everything is fine. No one is in trouble. Your crystal would've told you."

"I just want everything to be perfect." He looked out the window again.

"Sportacus, Bessie is in charge. It will be perfect." Milford commented

"And son, one thing about women, never underestimate them."


Lily had just come back to the house and entered the room. "You truly do look amazing. I am sure Sportacus will want to rush into your arms as soon as he catches sight of you."

"That is unless Elena rushes him first." Leanna joked.

Sportacus mother turned and looked her square in the eye. "You are not to do that. Do you understand?"

Elena nodded. His mother was not convinced. "Let me put it like this. This is your most special day. Take your time. He's not going anywhere."

Elena knew she was right, but it's been so long.

"Oh, my I forgot. You need someone to give you away!" Bessie exclaimed.

"Can the mayor? He's been wonderful to me ever since I arrived."

"Of course dear. He'll be honored. I'll just call him." She flipped open her phone pressed a button and called her husband.

"How do I look?" She was nervous.

Leanna gilded her to the full length mirror. "Amazing."

Elena looked at herself. She was so happy she started to cry. Both Leanna and her mother stopped her. "If you do that, your make up is going be a mess."

There was a knock at the door. Bessie hung up the phone and answered it.

"I am here, Mrs Meanswell! Armando Magnifico ees a ready to play heez a music."

"Wonderful! Is Pablo Fantistico here?"

"Yes. He is a setting up thee sports hall for a most Fantastico feast!"

"Perfect!" Bessie shouted. The door opened and Milford walked in. Bessie pulled him aside. "I think she'll be fine, but hold onto her tight. She just might run down the isle into Sportacus's arms."

"You can count on me, Bessie."

"I know I can, my sweet." She kissed his cheek. "Places everyone! Now, once you hear the music, you will WALK down the isle."

Elena nodded. They all left for the park and they put Elena close, but out of sight.

As everyone was seated they marveled at how wonderful the vining lilacs looked and wondered how they got there. Sportacus's family had a feeling there was a touch of magic in its doing. It was very well done.

Sportacus and all the men headed out. Robbie just made his way back and joined them.

Everyone was in place. Elena was behind the tree trying to resist every urge that wanted her to just run up to Sportacus and jump in his arms.

"You know," Milford spoke. "Days like this only come once in a life time, my dear. I'll never forget the look in Bessie's eyes when she saw me looking at how beautiful she was. It's something I will always treasure. Trust me, my dear, when he sees how beautiful you look, you're going to want to remember the look on his face too."

She knew he was right. She was not going to ruin it. She closed her eyes and relaxed.

"I'm relaxing." Her knees almost buckled.

"Oh my! That's a little too relaxed." He said as he steadied her.

"What if I fall or trip or pass out?"

"Just look at Sportacus and you'll be fine."

"Thank you." She gave him a hug.

The music of Armando Magnifico's violin started. He wrote a beautiful piece especially for Sportacus and Elena. Milford took her arm and they came around and in view of everyone.

Sportacus looked down the isle and waited for her procession. She turned the corner and his jaw dropped and his eyes went wide. He was enchanted. She was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. She was more than beautiful. She was breathtaking. With each step she took, the layered pieces of her dress flowed and danced around her. His gaze softened and he smiled at her, expressing his love.

"Mommy looks an angel." Loquia told her grandmother.

Elena looked at Sportacus and how handsome he looked. He looked so wonderful. His clothes made him look like he was sent from the heavens just for her. Their eyes locked. He was cherishing every moment, every step. She couldn't believe it was finally happening. Their expressions said 'I love you' to each other. She reached the alter and Sportacus joined her and took her hands.

Loquia tapped her poppy on the shoulder. "What happens next?" She whispered to him.

"We listen." He whispered back.

Elder Matrik stepped forward. "We are gathered here today to join these two people in the bonds of holy matrimony, is how one would regularly start a wedding. But these two are not your regular couple. They were brought together by an extraordinarily set of circumstances.

As their friendship grew, their love for each other manifested to what you see here today. I can think of no two people who better define love, as Sportacus and Elena."

Sportacus caressed her hands with his thumbs. She gave a gentle squeeze. The Elder continued. "Not only has their love for each other blossomed, but so many things have blossomed from their love."

Robbie thought Elena looked so stunning. She looked the happiest he's ever seen her. He then caught the eye of the new comer looking at him. He stood up straight with a proud tug at his vest. Though he wasn't sure why. He looked at her looking at him. She looked down with a slight blush to her face. He grinned. Then he wondered why she was looking at him. He decide to concentrate on the wedding before he started talking aloud again.

"Now, I believe Sportacus and Elena have some words they wish to share with one another."

"Sportacus. You were there from the beginning when I first opened my eyes, and you helped me take my first steps into a world I knew nothing about. You helped me, rescued me, friended me and loved me. I remember when we were on your air ship and you were tending to my sunburned face, I got lost in you. I remember reaching up and touching your face. You were so beautiful and although I didn't know it then, there was a connection that ran deeper than I ever knew. But everyone else did." People chuckled.

"Now, I know only one thing. You complete me. You are a part of me. You always have been and always will be. You are my heart, my soul, my one true love."

"Elena, ever since you came into my life, I have been filled with so much happiness."

She smiled. "I remember one night I couldn't sleep and somehow I started thinking about you and how you would always give me hugs and kisses every time you were happy about something. Which was quite a lot." Everyone chuckled.

"I didn't know it then, but I looked forward to those hugs and kisses everyday. And I can't imagine living without them. When I did for those three months, the only way I made it through was knowing that I was going to return to you. I thought of you every day and every night, before I went to sleep."

"And me too, daddy?"

Everyone laughed.

"And you too." He chuckled. "And if destiny ever calls again, I'm hanging up the phone. Elena, no one has touched my life they way you have. You are my heart, my soul, my one true love."

Robbie found he was being stared at again. He smiled awkwardly and he was beginning to wonder if his hair was sticking up or something.

He turned to Robbie who seemed a little preoccupied. "Robbie." He whispered. "Robbie." He whispered sternly, as Robbie snapped back to reality.

"What? Oh. Sorry." He smiled. "Sorry." He opened the box and handed the rings to Sportacus.

"It is usually the custom to bind our love by wrapping the ceremonial cloth around our hands, but we have also chosen to give each other rings as well. This ring is very special. The stone was made from my crystal. The very one that brought you to life and brought you to me. I will always be with you, no matter where I am."

Loquia noticed her grammy crying and gave her a hug. "It's ok grammy. I'm sure poppy can get you a ring too." She whispered. Sportacus's family, having as good of hearing as they did, giggled quietly. Sportacus and Elena smiled trying not to laugh at her cuteness.

He slid it on her finger. She stared at it in awe. It was in the shape of a heart, that sat between two golden leaves as if it were blooming from them. It looked like there were stars inside the heart, just like his crystal. She wrapped her arms around him. "It's so beautiful." She whispered.

He hugged her and smiled.

"Ahem." The elder cleared his throat. They stepped back.

She took her ring that she made for him. It was a dark gold band with a silver trim. The engraved design was that of two hands holding a heart. This is me giving you my heart. It belongs to you. It always has. They held hands and faced each other.

Elder Matrik wrapped an emerald green cloth, three times, around their hands. "It gives me great pleasure to pronounce you man and wife. You may-" Elena jumped in his arms and kissed Sportacus.

"kiss the bride or groom."

Everyone stood up and cheered! Sportacus looked at Elena.

"Elena, my wife, I love you so very much."

"Sportacus, my husband, I love you so very much." And they kissed again.

They were in each other's arms at last. And it felt wonderful. Loquia ran up to them and Sportacus picked her up in one arm and held Elena in the other.

"Well, Bessie, you managed to pull off a wedding in record time. This goes the book for records day."

"Oh, Milford." After everyone congratulated the newlyweds, Bessie announced that the reception was in the sports hall.

Sportacus set Loquia down and she ran to her grandparents. Sportacus and Elena held each other tight. "Elena, my wife. That sounds wonderful."

"As does Sportacus, my husband. We don't need to eat do we? I just want to stay here in your arms."

"We should go in. Bessie did a lot of work in a short amount of time. Besides, we have tonight."

"Tonight can't come soon enough." She loved being back in his arms again.

He looked at her face. "You are so beautiful."

She reached up and placed her hand on his face. "Just remembering." She smiled.

He closed his eyes. It felt wonderful to feel her touch. "We'd better go inside before I change my mind and take you away."

"I have no objections." She smiled.

He started to think about it when he heard a familiar voice.

"Ah, my good friends Sportacus and the lovely Elena." Pablo Fantastico ran up to them. "You look a lovely, my dear." He kissed her on either cheek. And you a look very dashing." he kissed Sportacus on either cheek. "Come inside. I have made a special wedding cake for you. Eet is filled with passion and love." He kissed his fingers. "Come, come, come." He went to the hall and waved them in.

"Well, our public awaits."

They went inside where they were greeted with cheers and everyone celebrated them as husband and wife.
