It was the middle of the night, cool air blowing through the nearly empty crowd. It was a small, secret wedding. Only the two lovers and their Officator. The moon hung overhead casting an almost divine glow upon them. The grass swaying ever so slightly, a perfect rustle that mixed into the ambient chirping of crickets in the most delicate way.
“Do you, Ogilivie Maurice Hedgehog, take Donald Keyton to be your loving husband. To share your rings and magical spikes with?” Asked Puss in Boots. Due to standing up Kitty Softpaws on their first wedding and giving up his adventurous life, he now earns money by being a marriage officiator. After all, he needed a job to support his simple life with Kitty Softpaws and Perrito.
At first, Puss in Boots declined officiating the marriage out of respect for Elizabeth. Otherwise known as dragon. But after Sonic tempted him with the promise of a golden ring he accepted. After all, he wanted to propose to Kitty Softpaws for sure this time and what's more romantic than one of Sonic’s golden rings?
“I do.” Sonic said clearly, tearing up and he looked at Donkey. Those understanding eyes, that goofy smile that never faltered in his presence. This night was perfect. Nothing could ruin it.
Puss in Boots sighed. It didn't feel right. He shouldn't do this. Kitty Softpaws wouldn’t agree to this. It was wrong. He’s made enough mistakes in his life, would this be another to the long list?
“Do you…Donald Keyton, take Ogilivie Maurice Hedgehog to be your caring husband. To always be there and help slow him down if it becomes to much for him to handle on his own? To save him if he drowns, in water or his own thoughts?”
“I d-” Donkey began to speak when a loud booming roar interrupted.
