Managing to get the 7 flowers into Castle Town wasn't easy. Carefully putting each of the glass containers on Kris' old wagon and going back and forth from the flower shop to the school's supply closet. It was tedious, but Susie's spirit through the whole ordeal helped keep you from giving up. They know about Ralsei's warning, that flowers ingulfed in too much darkness will die. So the compromise was to only have them in the closet for one day. To get aquatinted with other darkners and show them a world outside their basement. Even if it was for a short amount of time. You and Susie put them in this morning before class, hoping that they get themselves comfortable before you both come in.
Once the school day is over. You and Susie meet up at the closet door when everyone has gone home. Giving a silent nod, she opens the door and you both hop inside. A daily routine that's all too familiar at this point.
The recognizable scent of dust and cheap plastic fills your nostrils as you land at the entrance. Ralsei comes into view as they always do. But this time they're wearing a black and while cloak instead of the usual green and black. They don't even notice you as they have their back turned, fiddling with some papers and… talking to himself?
Before you question his behavior, Susie marches right up to him and gives a friendly smack on the back.
"Ralsei! What's with the new getup?!" She let's out a boisterous laugh at the shocked reaction Ralsei gives. Nearly toppling his stack of papers he's holding.
"K-kris! Susie! Hello there!" Ralsei tries to keep his pleasant demeanor, even after getting the wits jumped out of him. "You just in time! The wedding's going to start soon!"
"Wait. Wedding? What Wedding?" The dinosaur asks, genuinely befuddled. She turns to you like you would have the answer. You only shrug at her.
Ralsei walks deeper into Castle Town. You and Susie go and trail behind him. As you walk, you take it the surroundings of the normal shops. They've now all been decorated with white banners, red ribbons and, the most telling sign on who's weddings this is, yellow and blue flowers. The main road has chairs set up to make it look like an aisle leading up to an floral arch. Some recruits have even already taken their seats. You turn to Susie, she looks just as in awe as you.
"Blue and Yellow's wedding," Ralsei finally announces. "Since they have limited time in the Dark World, they wish to do something that'll last until the last petal drops."
Susie huffs to herself and crosses her arms. "Damn, didn't know they were engaged."
"…they weren't," the goat flatly tells them. They perk back up when seeing some darkners put up the final banner "But we spent all day preparing when they decided to. They even asked me to officiate!"
"Your running the ceremony?!" Susie beams at Ralsei, wrapping and arm around their shoulder and almost knocked over their notes again. "Knowing them I would've thought they wanted Flowery!"
"I thought that too," Ralsei wrestles out of Susie grip, standing with a puffed up chest and slightest hint of a smirk forming on their face. "But since I'm the prince, they wanted the officiant to be of 'the highest authoratee!'"
Susie laughs at his Yellow impression and pumps her fists in the air. "Well me and Kris think that you'll kill it. Isn't that right Kris?"
You nod, stepping forward to Ralsei and give loving scratches on they're head. The light and fluffy fur helps calm the sudden feeling that this can go wrong. It's nice seeing this new bold side of Ralsei. Like he and Flowery are in a rivalry and them being chosen over him was a one up over him.
"Thanks, guys," Ralsei says, relieved.
They were so caught up in their little squabble that they almost didn't notice Lancer riding up to them on his flamingo tricycle. The only difference from other days is he's wearing a swanky new bow-tie.
"Ho ho! It is almost time for the ceremony to start!" He gleefully cheers, practicing jumping in his seat. "Make your butts comfy in the reserved seating. Lest you want to miss out on all the love!"
Before you can say thanks, the spade scoots away to deliver the message to some other darkners. Looking back at Ralsei, they look down and shuffle their feet.
"I guess that's my cue to go."
"Good luck, man!" Susie's calls as they speed walks to the flowery arch. You wave with a smile, trying to match Susie's enthusiasm.
"C'mon, let's go find our seats!" She drags you by your waving hand to the rows of chairs. More and more darkners are coming in, looking for their card that placed on each chair. You find yours and Susie's pretty quickly, as you nudge her and point to a spot that's in the middle of the left side.
You sit down and see that the other seat next to you is labeled "Asgore." To stop your heart from breaking in two, you look around to see who was all invited. Elnina and Lanino are in the row in front of you, ta talking about something.
[[❤️Easedrop Mind your business]]
"I didn't know another couple was in Castle Town," Elnina whispers to her boyfriend. "Much less one that's getting married here!"
"Agreed," Lanino replies. "But we don't want to turn down the invite. Maybe when they throw the bouquet, one of us can catch it!"
"And our wedding will be the talk of the town!"
"Yes, We'll show them who's the better yellow and blue duo!"
"With a much bigger cake!"
"That has our faces on it!"
As the weather couple laugh to themselves, you look behind you this time to see who else is here.
"This marriage is NOT pissing me off," Starwalker announces in the seat behind you. "I'm the Marital Starwalker."
You scan the other rows of darkners. Floradinns, Shearys, Netskies, Terakotas, Shinobeetles big and small. Along with the recruits that live in Castle Town.
All of the murmurs turn quiet when Sweet Cap'n Cakes puts on the music. A soft melody of violins fill air. Ralsei comes up first to the middle of the arch.
Blue comes in next, wearing an elegant, lacy ballgown. As beautiful as Blue presents himself, it does make you wonder if Yellow is going to outdo him as the last person to walk down. Or if him going first was cemented so everyone can behold him first. Perhaps it's both?
the other flowers trailing behind him. They all have baskets of petals of their own respective color. Scattering them at they make their way down the isle. At the end of line is Aqua with orange inside her basket, dropping the petals as she carries it. You think that Orange's basket was too big for her so she decided to share with Aqua.
Everyone stands up and turns to the last flower. Yellow, in a white dress with a big ribbon around the waist. Something that would be a casual, off shoulder summer outfit that just fit Yellow's style. Even with his trademark cowboy boots and hat, the latter having a blue flower crown around the trim.
He takes his time walking down the aisle, bouquet of blue and yellow roses in his hand. Like he's trying to hold back on running the rest of the way there and jumping into Blue's arms. Subtle oohs and ahs are quiet as everyone sees the uncharacteristic elegance Yellow's displaying. Not that it's a bad thing, elegance looks good on him. Even when wearing that goofy grin with the missing tooth.
"Before we start, I would like to ask," Ralsei speaks, turning his attention to the big cardboard box in the corner. It has "jail" written on it and holes cut out to look like a barred window. "Who put this box here?"
"That was my idea!" Yellow speaks up. "Anyone who objects will be punished f'r their disrespectful behavior!"
"Um, sure. Please be seated," The goat politely commands. Prompting everyone to sit back down, including you.
Ralsei clears his throat and reads off of his paper.
"Dearest friends, we are gathering here today to celebrate the blue and yellow flower. They haven't been darkners for very long, but in the light world, they're made of love. Love from Asgore that kept them alive, love with their found family, and love that they have for eachother."
Ralsei smiles sweetly, "but it would be wrong for me to tell their story, so I'll let them tell it. Yellow, would you mind going first?"
The flower tenses for a split second. Unprepared that he was the one to go first.
"Gosh, what do I even say?" Yellow stammers, blushing and fiddling with his bouquet.
You realize that they probably never did a rehearsal. Or wrote any vows. But what wrong with some improvisation? Makes stuff more interesting.
"Take your time, dear," Blue puts a hand on top of his, words coming out sweet like honey. "Just say how you feel about me."
"Oh, okay!" Yellow perks back up "Blue, we've known eachother for 20 some years but I feel like I've known ya 10 times the amount! Maybe even longer!" The flower takes one of his hands and puts it in Blue's. "I promise ta be loyal and always show how loved ya are! And if anyone gets in the way of that, I'll serve them a justice they'll never forget!"
Yellow looks up at Ralsei. "So, uh… how'sat?"
"Very good," The goat nods, turning to the ballerina for his vows. "Now you go."
"O, where do I beginning?" Blue ponders for a moment. "My dearest Yellow, for it has been only days since we were given form, the days we spent under the care of Asgore before then made me feel grateful to just be in your presence. All I ever wanted was to feel love through my limbs, and you helped that dream be realized. Though you may need guidance, your courageous and kind nature has shine during all the time we were together. Even when we wilt into piles of ash, I vow to be by your side."
Blue concludes his monologue with bringing Yellow's hand to his lips, making him tear up. You can't help the tears that start to form in the corner of your eyes like most of the other guest. Even Ralsei has to remove his glasses to wipes his eyes. After a few deep breaths, Ralsei goes back to his papers.
"Now then, if anyone wants to object, speak now or-"
"I objecteth!"
Everyone gasps and turns to the sound of the voice. There, at the very end of the walkway, stands Rouxls Kaard. He comes forward, almost gliding along the floor. Yellow immediately drawing his gun.
"Gimme one good reason why I shouldn't shot ya at this here weddin'."
Rouxls visibly starts to shake.
"Because… Because… It should be me up there with themest!"
Yellow shoot him with his gun rope before he can come any closer. Forming a makeshift lasso that swings him into the cardboard prison.
"Uuu, I wanna object too!" Aqua bounces up from her seat. "I object! I object!"
She also gets lassoed and sent to jail before Yellow gives her a chance at an explanation
"Any other blue feller gots something to say?!
Everyone stays silent… except Lancer. Who slides in from the side.
"I am also blue!" He says while spinning around. "Arrested me for blue crimes!"
Yellow once again shoots him and crams him in with the other blue people.
"I'm so sorry, Blue! This day was s'pposed to be special!"
"Yellow, don't let some doubters cloud your judgment. I'm now more certain than ever that I'm making the right decision. Your justice is your most admirable trait. And even at what should be your most vulnerable moment, you stood up for us. That nobility should be honored, even on this day of matrimony."
"Aww Blue, I could just kiss ya!" "Reverend?"
"If they're aren't any more interruptions. By the power vested in me by the dark fountain, I now pronounce you as Husbands! You may smooch the flower!"
Blue wraps his arms around Yellow's waist and brings him in close.
"C'mere, Buttercup," he purrs before spinning around and dipping him into a kiss.
The crowd cheers and throws and assortment of things in the air. Blue pulls back, revealing a Yellow with a dopey grin and blue lipstick stained on his lips. They ran back down the aisle with Yellow haphazardly throwing his bouquet in the air. You follow it as it flies until it lands right on Susie's head.
"Oh my," Elnina gasps.
"Lucky you!" Lanino smiles through gritted teeth.
She turns from purple to red in an instant. "I- uh. Well… if this means that… me and Noelle…" She stammers, scratching the back of her head that brushes the flowers out of her hair. She quickly turns to you and puts a big arm around your shoulder. "Say, why don't we head to the reception?!"
[[❤️Let's get turnt up!!! I need to go.]]
"Hell yeah!" Susie picks you up and practically drags you to Ralsei's castle. A banner hanging from the entrance reads "Flower party here!"
You have a feeling that your going to be come home after dark tonight.
