Chapter 12 Back
Runt's POV
My mom pulled the seeds out of my fur, each time it stung a bit. The pile next to me kept getting bigger as she pulled them out with some fur occasionally. Claudette snickered a little as Stinky and I flinched at the pulling of our fur. "This seems a little cruel." I said as another seed was pulled.
"Next time you shouldn't get in to the seeds." Mom said
"But mom it was Stinky's fault." I whined and pointed to my brother.
"You tackled me!" He replied loudly.
"After you made fun of me having a crush on Magril!" I yelled back at him
"You two stop yelling at each other, you're not making this any easier you know." Mom said before pulling another seed out of my fur causing me to wince a little. It took another couple of hours to finish pulling off all the seeds Stinky and I had on us. She made us move them out of the den using a stick with a bunch of leaves on it. We brushed them out of the den and off to the side by the time all was said and done it was time for bed. I went to sleep with parts of me still hurting from where my fur had been pulled out. The next morning we woke up and walked over to the temporary den where our Aunt Dusty was staying.
"Hey." Dusty said as she saw us walk in.
"So when are you going to have the ceremony?" Mom asked as she sat down.
"After Huntly gets back. After that we'll probably go back to Yellowstone for awhile." Dusty replied
"Why's that?" Mom asked sounding a little upset.
"Yellowstone is home to me and him Kate, I promise we'll come back here though I'm just not ready to let it go yet." Dusty said in a comforting tone it seemed to work. Before we knew it we were heading to my grandparents den for breakfast. There was a fresh caribou laying in the den. We greeted our grandparents, thanked them, and dug in.
"If you three keep eating like that you're going to choke.' I looked up to see dad with Huntly.
"Your back." Dusty said as she hug Huntly.
"Great now we can get this wedding taken care of." Grandma said
"Right could we do it tomorrow?" Dusty asked causing a near heart attack of Grandma and the rest of our family.
"Tomorrow? We still have so much to get ready." Mom said.
"We could do it Vegas style we just both say we do and boom ceremony over." Huntly suggested
"Um alright we'll do it Vegas style...?" Not one of us knew what this Vegas thing one but apparently they didn't like large ceremonies. Well since none of us knew how to exactly put that on we had change for a different type of ceremony one that required a minister. Since none of knew a minister or how to be one we had to rely on Split who claimed he knew how to do it. So as he practiced the rest of us were setting everything up for the wedding. It was going to be small just my family and then afterwards the two would hop on the train going back to Yellowstone.
"Are you sure you want to go back?" I overheard Huntly talking to Dusty.
"Yes, stop worrying about it, but when we want to start a family I want to come back here." She replied
"Alright we can do that." Dusty said
"Runt a little help here." My brother called out he was pulling on a log I got on the other side and helped him push it.
"What's this for?" I asked and he smirked.
"For the rematch between us and the Northern team." I had to ask it must be an alpha [ride thing because I was not interested in taking part in another race any time soon.
"Good luck with that." I said as we got the logboard into posistion.
"What are you not going to join us in the race."
"Yes." I replied
"Hey you two need to be getting ready we're about to start the wedding." Dad said we quickly followed him to our den where he brushed our fur which still had knots in it from the seeds. He did our manes and we headed to where the ceremony was supposed to be. Huntly stood across from Dusty who had a white flower in her mane. Split stood in between them and started everything.
"We are gathered here today to join in union Dusty and Huntly." The two started snickering a bit. "Now does anyone object to this obligation?" Huntly bent down and whispered something in Split's ear he looked rather embarrassed.
"Do you Dusty take Huntly to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Split asked
"I do."
"And do you Huntly take Dusty to be your wife?"
"I do."
"I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss the bride." Split said the two rubbed noses and we walked over to congratulate them.
"Huntly we have to catch the train." Dusty said and the two ran off along with their bird. We headed home afterwards and the next day we headed back over the Northern territory.
"YOU GUYS WAIT UP!" I yelled out to my siblings were way ahead of me. I kind of missed Huntly and aunt Dusty but I was sure I would see them again sometime.
"Well maybe you should go faster!" Claudette yelled back to me as she and Stinky sped up. By the time I caught up to them they had already started a game with Fleet and Magril, I stormed off until I came across a white tail poking out of the bushes.
The End
