Wedding Bells
(Theme song - Pokemon Journeys: The Series (Season 23) - English Dub Opening)
(Abigail's POV)
A month has gone by since Antoine proposed to Bunnie. It was now the big day. The ceremony was being held at the castle. All of Knotehole & New Mobotropolis was invited. Right now, my Mom & I were in my room getting ready. I was wearing the dress I got for my 16th birthday. Huck was wearing a green bow tie. Mom was wearing a light blue gown (look up "[WNG] [BM] [HC] Karson Ball Gown" by "WinxWildChild" on "DeviantArt")*
Laura: My daughter performing at a wedding reception. I couldn't be more proud. So, are you going to perform one of your old songs?
Abigail: Actually, I wrote a new piece. Lacey helped me a little.
Laura: Really. Well, I can't wait to hear it. And maybe someday, one of your friends can perform at your wedding, when the time comes.
Abigail: Maybe.
Huck: Chao-Chao.
*She tied a purple bow in place*
Laura: There.
*I looked at myself in a mirror*
Abigail: Wow. *I hugged her* Thanks, Mom.
Robert:*off-screen* There they are. The two most beautiful girls in the world.
*We turned around & saw my Dad & Grandpa standing at the door to my room. They were both wearing black tuxedos*
Abigail: Oh, Dad.
Laura: You both look pretty handsome yourselfs.
Lawrence: Thank you, dear.
*We all gathered into a group hug*
Lacey:*off-screen* Abby?
*We all turned to see Lacey wearing a pink frilly dress (look up "Estelle Princess Ball" by "TheLightFay" on "DeviantArt") & a pink bow in her hair*
Lacey: Come on. Rosie's expecting us.
Abigail: Kay. Gotta go. We promised Rosie we'd help her and Sally get Bunnie ready.
Laura: All right. We'll see you girls at the wedding.
*We both walked outside. Huck flew after us. As we headed for Rosie's house, we saw Sonic & Tails*
Sonic: Are your folks that bad, Tails?
Tails: Worse. And that's why I love 'em.
Sonic: You're looking pretty sharp, man. Hoping to catch someone's eye?
Tails: Cut it out! I'm dressed up because that's what we're supposed to do.
*That's when we decided to walk up to them*
Abigail: I think you both look handsome.
*They turned to us & their eyes went wide*
Tails:*blushing* W - Wow! You two look amazing!
Lacey: Aww! You're sweet.
Huck: Chao-Chao.
Tails: You look great to, Huck.
Huck: Chao.
Sonic: Isn't that the dress we gave you for your birthday?
Abigail: Yeah. It's my favorite.
Lacey: It's also the only dress she has, since she wouldn't let me take her shopping for a new one.
Sonic: Why bother going shopping for a dress you'll only wear once?
Abigail: That's what I told her.
Huck: Chao-Chao.
Shadow:*off-screen* I think she looks beautiful no matter what she wears. Maybe even more than the bride.
*We all turned around & saw Shadow wearing a black tuxedo & a red bow tie*
Abigail: Shadow!
*I ran up & hugged him*
Sonic: What brings you here, Faker?
*We both turned to him with a glare*
Abigail: He's my date, I'll have you know. *to Shadow* I'm glad you could come
Shadow: I would miss it for the world. Especially, if it's with you. *whispering* I have something to tell you later.
*I nodded. We then shared a quick kiss. We all then headed on our way*
Lacey:*sigh* I just love weddings! The decorations. The towering cake. The romantic music. I'm especially looking forward to the bouquet toss.
Sonic: Let me guess. Your hoping to catch it?
Lacey: You know it.
Tails: Yeah, it all sounds great. Although I was hoping . . . Me and Fiona . . . One day . . .
*We looked at him sad*
Shadow:*whispering* He's still not over that traitor you told me about? Fiona?
Abigail:*whispering* No. I'm getting worried.
Sonic: Ah, forget her man. You can do so much better. And you've got plenty of time.
Tails: You're telling me to slow down?
*Lacey & I giggled & Shadow rolled his eyes. We soon arrived at Antoine's house*
Abigail: Well, you guys have fun. And try not to scare Antoine out of getting married.
Sonic: I'll try. Good luck with Bunnie.
Lacey: Thanks. And tell Mighty I'll see him soon.
*The Chaotix came back for the wedding*
Sonic: Will do.
*We waved them goodbye as they went inside. We soon arrived at Rosie's*
Abigail: Well, I'll catch you at the castle.
Shadow: All right. You too.
*We shared another quick kiss & I went inside with Huck & Lacey. Sally & Rosie had just gotten Bunnie into her dress. Cream was fixing Cheese's bow tie & Amy was brushing her hair (Cream was the flower girl. Cheese & Chocola were the ring bearers. And Amy was the bridesmaid)*
Rosie: Ah, right on time girls. We were just about to do Bunnie's hair and makeup*
Lacey: Good thing I brought my makeup bag.
*It took us 2 hours to Bunnie's hair & makeup the way she wanted it. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Rosie opened it to reveal Sonic*
Rosie: You leave Bunnie to us. Go bother the groom.
Sonic: The Chaotix beat me to it. Can't I do anything, Rosie?
Rosie: Convince Julie-Su she looks fine in a dress.
Sonic: Let's not ask for miracles here.
*Rosie turned around & looked at Amy. She then got a sneaky smile on her face*
Rosie: All right, then . . . *she grabbed Amy by the arm & pushed her out the door* Keep our bridesmaid entertained until the ceremony.
Amy: Sonic!
Sonic: Amy!?
*Rosie closed the door. Sally & I couldn't help giggling*
Bunnie: Aw, Rosie. That was cruel.
Sally:*laughing* But funny.
Bunnie: Of course. *she & Sally both looked in the mirror* Ah, Sally . . . You're the best.
Sally: Isn't it ironic? When we were kids, you wanted to be my hair stylist.
Bunnie: Sho'nuff! And I still will - When I'm not smashing Badnicks or spendin' time with mah man.
Sally: I'm proud of you, Bunnie. Antoine's a good man.
*She & Bunnie hugged*
Bunnie: Ah count my lucky stars Ah got him. We've both lost so much - It's only right that we're there to support each other.
Rosie: And I'm proud of the both of you. You've kept us all safe for so long and grown into such lovely, competent young ladies. *she then turned to me* I'm also proud of you, Abigail. You haven't been with us long. But, you've proved to be a strong fighter & a strong young women.
Abigail:*blushing* Um . . . Thank you.
Bunnie: Yea, thank you, Rosie. Maybe Sally will follow mah lead and marry soon, too.
Rosie: Oh, yes! Someone handsome and brave . . . And blue . . .
*It was now Sally's turn to blush*
Sally: W - Well, maybe someday. In the future. But, who knows. Maybe the next one down the aisle will be one of these two.
*She pointed her thumb at me & Lacey. We both turned bright red*
Lacey: You really think so?
Abigail: I - I don't know maybe s - someday . . .
*Rosie, Bunnie, Sally, Cream, Cheese, Chocola, & Huck all burst out laughing*
*Later, with Huck, Lacey & I met up with our dates at the castle. We also met up with Sonic, Knuckles, & Espio. Espio was wearing a dark purple kimono. We then ran into Julie-Su. Rosie was right. She did look good in a dress*
Julie-Su: Hey, guys.
Knuckles: H - Hey! Julie-Su. Wow!
Sonic: Hey, JS. Looking good.
Abigail: You look great.
Lacey: Very stylish.
Espio: Quite lovely.
*Both Shadow & Mighty nodded in approval*
Julie-Su: Thanks. You're sweet. I hate dressing up like this.
Sonic: I think she looks good. Don't you, Knux?
Knuckles: I - She - Yes!
Julie-Su: Ha! Thanks, Hun.
Sonic: So when can we expect you two to make it official?
Julie-Su: And dress up even more? No, thanks. Besides, the Dark Legion never had any sort of ceremony.
Knuckles: And even if they did, why do we need a ceremony? Antoine and Bunnie are welcome to theirs. But I think my word to Julie-Su's is as good as anything.
Lacey: That's so sweet.
Sonic: I hear ya! I need to get in place, guys! Catch ya at the reception!
Abigail: Good luck, best man!
*That evening, were all sitting in the castle throne room, waiting for the ceremony to start. My Mom managed to convince my Dad to save Shadow a seat (he's just pretending Shadow isn't here right now). Huck was sitting on my lap. Antoine & Bunnie were already at the alter with King Nigel Acorn standing in between them. The rest of the royal family was on either side of them*
King Nigel Acorn: My people. Today we are gathered to see the union of our two finest Freedom Fighters. Who, like all of us, have lost a great deal in our struggle for freedom, but like us all, they have shown the courage to make it to this day. It is because of their selflessness that we can enjoy this moment. And we have nothing but thanks for their actions - And for letting us join them on their happiest of days! Without further ado, it is my great pleasure to unite Commander D'Coolette and Bunnie Rabbot for life.
*Cheese & Chocola both carried the rings on a red velvet pillow*
Antoine:*putting a ring on Bunnie's finger* W - W - With this ring, I - I - I th - thee wed.
Bunnie:*putting a ring on Antoine's finger with tears in her eyes* With this r - ring, Ah thee wed.
King Nigel Acorn: I now pronounce you husband and wife.
*Bunnie & Antoine kissed & everyone clapped. Amy was crying so hard I thought she was going to flood the room. Lacey & I kissed our dates*
*That night, after the ceremony, we all gathered at the Coliseum for the reception. After dinner & cake, it was time for the dance. The King got up on the stage*
King Nigel Acorn: And now, for the first dance, Miss Abigail Catz shall sing a song that she has written just for this occasion.
*A spotlight shined on me as I walked up to the stage. I stood in front of the microphone as Lacey started playing a piano. After 2 minutes, the DJ picked up the beat & I started singing*
*Abigail singing*
Love is in bloom
A beautiful bride
A handsome groom
Two hearts
Becoming one
A bond that cannot
Be undone, because
Love is in bloom
A beautiful bride
A handsome groom
I said . . .
Love is in bloom
You're starting a life
And making room for us
*I looked out into the audience & saw everyone dancing & loving the song. I giggled when I saw Shadow dancing with Cream. Cheese & Chocola were flying above their heads*
Your special day
We celebrate now
The freedom way
Your friends are all
Right here
Won't let these moments
Disappear, because
Love is in bloom
A beautiful bride
A handsome groom
I said . . .
Love is in bloom
You're starting a life
And making room
For us . . .
For us . . .
*As soon as I finished, everyone applauded. Lacey & I bowed & walked off-stage. When we saw our dates waiting for us, we both ran up to them & went to the dance floor. Later, it was time for the bouquet toss. Bunnie stood on stage with a whole crowd of girls behind her*
Bunnie" Y'all ready!?
*She threw the bouquet over her head high in the air. All the girls in the crowd reached up to catch it. But, to all our surprises, it landed right into my hands. My whole face turned bright red as everyone clapped. Shadow then kissed my temple*
