A/N: I loved writing every bit of this chapter! And I hope TheSorceressQueen does not mind that I have written and put the name of the songs. I thought it got really good in the story and made it more realistic. But if TheSorceressQueen wants me to remove it, I can modify the chapter. Hope you like it!
CHAPTER 26.
In a short time everyone was in Etheria, except for some masters and the royal guards, in case Skeletor decided to attack the palace.
While they stayed in the palace, the other guests went to Etheria for the party.
The children ran from side to side, the adults talked, danced and ate the sweets that were scattered around the tables in the garden. Queen Angela was more than glad that Adora and Hawk chose their kingdom for their wedding party, for the past four years she considered Adora as their daughter.
Speaking of Adora and Hawk, they were talking to Madam and Swen.
"I told them they were going to be together!" Madam said with a smile.
"Hey, I never doubted that." Swen replied.
"Actually, if it were not for you guys, I do not think Adora and I would have said we liked each other at the time." Hawk exclaimed.
"And we thank you for giving us the courage to talk about our feelings." - Adora added.
"No need to thank you, my dear, we-" "Madam was interrupted when Randor began to speak and caught everyone's attention.
- '' I ask for a minute of everyone's attention. Today was a day to which we united a couple who on more than one occasion showed their love and friendship with each other. I want to propose a toast to my daughter and her new husband. For Adora and Sea Hawk. ''
"For Adora and Sea Hawk." They all lifted their glasses of wine, champagne, what they were drinking.
"Before the music starts, it's not just me who wants to say a few words to the couple. King Falcon? "Randor stepped aside and Falcon stayed where the king of Eternia was.
"First of all, I need to thank you that I can be here to see my son's wedding and that thanks goes directly to your new wife, Adora if it were not for your powers, I could not have left that island, then thank you.''
Adora smiled and nodded.
- '' And now what I have to say to the couple. I had no idea that my son would find someone so wonderful to be his wife than Adora, that his love only grows as the years go by. Adora, welcome to the family, and I hope it will grow soon. ''
The couple blushed and gave a nervous laugh.
"We've just gotten married and you want grandkids already?" Hawk asked in a good mood.
"I want." Queen Marlena exclaimed, making everyone laugh again.
When the laughter was over, King Randor spoke. "Now, I want to call Princess Adora and Prince Hawk to the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife."
Hawk held out his left hand to Adora. The princess smiled and placed her left hand on top of his, showing the two rings together. Since Adora had been with her wedding ring since the engagement, it was Hawk only to put her own wedding ring on the ceremony.
The ex-pirate put his right hand on her waist and took her to the center of the dance floor, and as soon as they got ready to start dancing, the music started. (Music I'm a pirate, you're a princess.)
"Our music." Adora exclaimed as the melody began.
"Our music." Hawk nodded, and when he reached the music refrain, he sang along. - '' Im a pirate, you are pricess ... '' - Together they were dancing until the music was over and when it reached the last touches of the song, he hugged her and they both leaned to the side, she with her hands on his chest and he with his hands on her waist.
Everyone applauded with enthusiasm.
When they were straight again, Adora's brother came on stage and announced. - '' Before you left the dance floor, we had a little video for you. '' - He came down and behind the band started a video showing some of the couple's adventures and as background music, it was '' Love night and day (Amo noite e dia) Jorge e Mateus feat. John Kip. ''
When the music ended, the couple had tears in their eyes to relive all this, because in the video was from the moment they met until the request for marriage.
Adam approached them and his sister immediately hugged him tightly.
"You deserve it, sister." He returned the hug with the same force.
-''Thanks.''
The kings watched with a big smile as their children embraced. This was a vision they had expected to see since Adora had returned.
"I did not think this day would come so fast. Our little girl married. "The king exclaimed.
"Yes." The queen hugged him and exclaimed. "And you did not tell them both about that.' '
"Marly, I'll talk to them as soon as Adora returns."
"Of course, and then you'll postpone after Adam's engagement announcement, and after the engagement party ..." -Marlena remarked, seeing what her husband. "You've been delaying this for weeks."
"It's not an easy matter to just come and talk. Especially after they've hidden it from us for so long. "Randor whispered.
"Well, I went straight with them. Randor, Adam is tired of giving a cowardly prince in your front, he on more than one occasion said that he wanted to show you what he is capable, for you to be proud of him.''
''But I'm proud of him, Marlena. Of both.''
- '' Now just tell them. I will not force you to talk to them, but I will respect your decision to wait Adora to return and I want you to know that after a while I will question them about you having talked to them, and you'd better have had this conversation when I ask, okay?
'' Okay, '' he replied reluctantly.
Marlena laughed. - '' I think it's time to have a dance of yours with our daughter. ''
"And then our dance." Randor kissed his wife and went to her daughter.
Upon realizing that his king was walking towards the princess, the royal orchestra began to prepare.
Adam and Hawk walked away from the dance floor as soon as Randor reached Adora. With a signal for the orchestra to begin, Randor guided his daughter along the dance floor.
(The song played was Photograph, by Ed Sheeran.)
"It's Hawk, unbeknownst to you, you and Adora joined Etheria and Eternia and performed an old dream of mine and her father's." Falcon exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" Hawk asked.
On the dance floor.
"What do you mean, father?" The princess asked.
"Before I knew your mother and before we lost contact with Falcon, we said we wanted to unite our kingdoms, once we cited an example in case he had a son and I had a daughter." - Randor began to respond while they danced.
"Let the two of you know each other and fall in love so we can unite the realms." Falcon finished explaining to his son.
'' Then I'd meet Adora anyway, '' Hawk exclaimed.
Falcon nodded.
"So even if I had not been caught, would Hawk and I meet?" "Adora asked her father.
"Yes." Randor sighed.
'' Dad. '' -Adora put her hand on his father's face .- '' It's over, I'm home. ''
Randor tried to smile. "I know, but I can not stop thinking about what that villain took from us. All the hugs, jokes, family travel. It was for the family to be complete. ''
"It's full now and that's what matters."
The king can not help but smile. "You're identical to your mother, both in the way you talk and in the way you do things."
Adora smiled and both bowed as the song ended.
"You and your brother are strong. Stronger than we could imagine you would be. "Randor kissed her daughter's forehead and led her to her husband, then went to his wife and took her to the dance floor. The next dance was the king and the queen.
(The song '' River flows in you '' from yumira began to be played.)
The king led his wife along the dance floor and they were quiet for almost a minute.
"Did you give her the hint?" She asked.
-''Yes my queen.''
"Well, since you gave the hint, I think we'd better leave it, after she returns."
"I totally agree." Rand looked at his wife, admiring how beautiful she was.
-''What's it?''
"I was remembering our marriage party. I hope Adora and Adam are as happy with their consort as we are happy. ''
"They're going to be. They already are. ''
"Teela already knows?''
The queen shook her head.
- '' That's going to get in trouble. ''
"I'm surprised you did not get in trouble when you heard." Marlena exclaimed.
"Let's just say I had to hold on. Pretending that I do not know about this secret is very difficult and I wonder how the two managed for so many years? ''
"I do not know that, either. But I know they wanted to tell on several occasions. ''
"But now I know and they can stop hiding. At least in front of us. ''
"That's what they want most, especially Adam."
The music ended and they bowed to each other.
The party was coming to an end and the time came that Adora was waiting. One Earth tradition was for the bride to throw the bouquet and she wanted to do it since her mother told her.
Adora climbed the steps of a small staircase and asked. -''Are ready?''
Many girls were below her, all with their hands outstretched to try to pick up the bouquet.
Adora turned and tossed the bouquet over her head.
The ship of red and gold flowers stopped in two stretched hands and Adora turned to see who had taken the bouquet, not being surprised when Teela lowered her hands with a surprised face.
Teela looked at Adam, who was looking at her with an open mouth that soon turned into a smile, she returned the smile and looked again at Adora, who was laughing. Approaching the princess, she asked.
"It was your powers, was not it?"
"No, they were not. In fact I just threw the bouquet. ''
Adam appeared behind Teela and heard what they were talking about.
"The destiny is stronger." Adora said.
'' That's right. '' Adam put his hand on Teela's waist. -''Wanna Dance?''
"You know my answer." The two walked away toward the dance floor.
"Congratulations!" Adora turned to watch her friend approach.
- Lohni! Thank you! And congratulations to you too. ''
-''For me? Whereby?''
Adora raised an eyebrow. "For his recent courtship with Duke Philip."
-''You knew? How, when? ''
"My friend, I am the princess of Eternia and you would be surprised at what I hear from the court. The gossip there runs faster than it ran in the horde. ''
"That's what I need to agree on." They both laughed.
"Married now, who would say." Lohni exclaimed.
-''It is true.''
- '' You were already happy before and this marriage will only increase that happiness. You deserve it.''
"Not just me." Adora hugged her friend. - '' The party is already over, Hawk and I are going to say goodbye to everyone and we are going to leave. ''
Lohni looked up at the sky and realized that it was already dark, it must have been seven or eight at night.
"Then come back, I'll see you at the palace.''
"Are you living with Philip?" She asked with a wicked grin.
"And you thought I'd let you and he out of my sight?" They laughed and Adora went to her husband.
