News had spread quickly about the proposal, so when Jax and Ragatha showed up for today's adventure, all eyes were on them.
"What's everyone staring at me for?" Jax asked Ragatha, who shrugged in response.
"Congratulations!" Caine announced, flying over to them. "As of today, the two of you have entered a legal binding relationship!"
"Wait, you know?" Jax asked, sounding surprised if not a little irritated.
"My all-seeing eyes saw that heartwarming proposal!" Caine replied. Bubble blows his nose with a tissue. "Good on you for proposing, Ragatha."
"Um…Thanks?" Ragatha says, still confused. Everyone circled around the couple and started clapping like at the end of Evangelion (the series, not the movie).
"Congrats," Kinger said almost ecstatically, clapping.
"Congrats," Zooble sighed as she slowly clapped.
"Congrats!" Gangle said with a grin, clapping.
"Congratulations!" Caine says, clapping.
"Congrats..?" Pomni said, clapping in confusion as she looked at everyone else. "Why are we doing this?"
"It's our way of congratulating the engaged couple," Caine told her. "Why don't we make today's adventure about their special day? Everyone, we're gonna have Jax and Ragatha's wedding as today's adventure."
"Y-you don't have to do that!" Ragatha suddenly stammered. "I appreciate it, though."
"But that means I get to do this," Caine said. Putting one hand on his hip, he snapped his fingers and everyone was now in formal wear; Pomni still had her jester hat on, but was now wearing a standard pink dress, Gangle was wearing a flower crown, Zooble had on both a bow tie and a hair bow, Kinger still had his robe but now had a bowtie on, Jax had a standard tuxedo, and Ragatha had a white wedding dress that looked straight out of a Disney film.
"Wait!" Caine says. "The bride and groom aren't supposed to see each other before the ceremony! Whatever shall I do?"
Caine quickly snapped his fingers, and Ragatha disappeared. Some of the group gasped, not expecting her to vanish so suddenly.
"Where did Ragatha go?" Gangle asked, sounding like she was already on the verge of tears.
"She's on the other side of the circus," Caine said. "Pomni, Gangle, why don't you two go check on Ragatha?"
With a quick snap of his fingers, Pomni and Gangle disappeared as well.
"As for the rest of us, we're gonna wait for the bride to walk down the aisle," Caine said. He snapped his fingers again, and the rest of the group was now outside. There was a makeshift arch and chairs that had portraits of previously abstracted characters sitting on them.
"Are you trying to make us cry on our wedding day?" Jax asked, almost exasperated.
"You're going to be crying anyway when you see HER," Caine said as he suddenly made Ragatha, Pomni, and Gangle reappear.
"And that's why you shouldn't leave Jax alone with me," Ragatha said, Gangle and Pomni nodding in agreement.
"Bubble, if you will?" Caine asked him. Bubble floated over to the organ and somehow started playing Here Comes The Bride.
"Wait, where are the rings?" Kinger says, holding the pillow that had the rings on them.
Ragatha looked over at Jax, seeing him with a look of amusement. He never thought that Dollface would look so beautiful in a wedding dress.
"Ragatha, I think you're supposed to walk down the aisle" Gangle whispered, tapping her shoulder. Nodding, Ragatha began walking down while Gangle threw flower petals as they and Pomni walked down the aisle.
When the three joined up with everyone else, Gangle and Pomni retreated to the sides and Ragatha and Jax stood by each other.
"Dearly beloved," Caine said, now the priest. "We have all gathered here today for the first ever wedding in the Digital Circus between Jax and Ragatha. All I need you to do is sign this legal binding contract, and you two will officially be wed."
Caine pulled out a comically long contract that had 2 spaces on the bottom for 2 signatures. He then handed Ragatha and Jax a quill to sign their names with.
"Well, here goes nothing," Jax said with a shrug. The couple signed the contract, which then disappeared into thin air the moment they lifted the quill off the contract after signing.
"Congrats, you two are now officially married!" Caine announced. "Now say your vows."
Jax and Ragatha looked at each other. Jax.. actually didn't have anything rehearsed, so the two of them just stared at each other for a while. After what felt like forever, Ragatha spoke up.
"Jax…." Ragatha started. "You're annoying, all you do is cause trouble, and you hide centipedes in my room so often that I wonder where you keep finding them."
Everyone was confused, seeing Ragatha talking so poorly of Jax after watching them literally sign a contract a few seconds ago.
"But…." Ragatha continued. "I'm in love with you, you have helped me in my worst moments, and at least you get rid of the centipedes when I ask. Remember that day I was breaking down so much I almost abstracted?"
"Oh right," Jax said. "I held you and sang to you that stupid Elvis song until you calmed down."
Jax almost gently took Ragatha's hands into his.
"But maybe he had a point," Jax admitted. "I can't help falling in love with you, dollface."
Smooth, that's what everyone thought.
"Awww," Gangle cooed.
"You may now… name your child after a fruit," Caine said.
Jax twirled Ragatha around and pulled her into a kiss, and everyone cheered and flower petals fell from the sky.
"I feel a song coming on," Caine says. "Kick it, bubble!"
"Kickin' it!" Bubble said, throwing up a jukebox as International Love by Pitbull started playing. Once the song started, everyone started dancing.
After a while, Jax was carrying Ragatha over his shoulder as he walked over to Zooble.
"Hey Zoobs, keep this party going, will ya?" Jax says, motioning to his exhausted wife. "Me and Raggedy Ann are gonna have some alone time."
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Zooble said, crossing their arms. "You know about Caine's all-seeing eyes."
"Yeah, yeah, so that's why I need you to distract him," Jax told them. He then walked off with Ragatha still on his shoulders. After watching him leave, Zooble looked over at Kinger, Gangle, and Caine all doing the Macarena while Pomni was in a little anxiety ball in the corner.
Halfway into the Cha Cha Slide, Caine suddenly stopped the music.
"Wait, where did Ragatha and Jax go? We were supposed to be cutting the cake!" Caine asked, before looking at the rest of the group. "Excuse me for a second." The group watched as he suddenly disappeared.
"Everybody clap your hands!" Bubble cheered, and everyone did exactly that.
When Caine entered Jax's room, it was pitch black. Hearing the sound of kissing, Caine freaked out.
"Oh my!" he exclaimed, turning on the lights to see Jax and Ragatha making out on the bed.
"Hold it right there!" he shouted, pointing at the couple. "We can't have all that in the digital circus!"
With a quick snap, there were suddenly several censors under Ragatha's dress, on Jax's crotch, and where Ragatha's exposed bra was.
"Now get yourselves dressed up!" Caine said. "We're about to raise a toast!"
Disgruntled, Ragatha and Jax fixed themselves up, and Caine teleported them back to the others.
"I told you what would happen!" Zooble shouted at Jax, him wincing at their volume.
"Alright, sheesh, you don't gotta tell me twice," Jax groaned.
After a toast and cake being smashed in Ragatha's face, the married couple begin to slow dance to the song "Close To You" by the Carpenters.
"I can't wait for this to be over so we can have some alone time," Jax whispered, and Ragatha got closer to Jax's face.
"I'm overwhelmed with emotions again," Ragatha said with a sly smile. "I love you, Jax"
"Heh.. love you too, dollface" Jax said. The two of them kissed again as they danced in each other's arms, everyone watching in awe.
"I would want a nice wedding like theirs someday," Kinger said. He then turns to Gangle.
"Hey Gangle, do you wanna get married?" He asked innocently.
"WHAT?!" Gangle says, taken aback. Her volume caught everyone's attention, and once Caine chuckled, so did everyone else.
What a fun day, and what a fun wedding.
