Chaotic Wedding Day. (A Fireafy Fanfic)

Chapter VI: Representation? [Bride's Side]

Teardrop's P.O.V:

The gals and I were inside the train, awaiting our destination. Like pirates have been setting out into sea, with our team captain (Leafy), our helmsman (Lollipop), quartermaster (Ruby), and me! The first mate. Lollipop wasn't actually our driver, she's the one who basically directed us to the venue. Ruby checks for supplies every 5 minutes or so. "We're good on food and supplies!" Ruby yelled out. Then there's me who's second in command! I'm Leafy's right-hand gal, so my job is to help her in case she goes ballistic...or hysterical. Ball-Sterical? Eh, I'll come up with something better later.

I was typing another pirate story in a Google Docs to pass the time. Since I can't speak, thanks a lot Blocky, I usually have to communicate with either American Sign Language–ASL for short—, hand gestures, or physically write something to grab someone's attention. Some people think that it's kind of annoying, but believe me, I got used to it. Eventually.

I felt a little thud on my left, and turns out, it was Leafy. "Hope you don't mind me sitting next to you, Teardrop!" Leafy exclaimed as she was swinging her legs up and down with joy. I didn't mind at all. I nodded my head and gave her a big thumbs up. She was acting and feeling very excited, which I don't blame. I mean, she's getting married to Firey soon. She loves him so much and he loves her back with all of his heart! Oh, if only a special someone in my head feels the same about me. I may have met him pretty late in BFB, but he made me feel like I've known him for years–

"Hello~? Earth to TD?" I snapped back into reality. Leafy was trying to talk to me. I shook my head around and gave her an awkward smile back. "Whatcha thinkin' about?" Leafy asked while swinging her legs slower to properly pay attention to me. I panicked, I didn't want her to know. And so I waved my hands left to right to indicate the 'nothing' signal. "You sure? You're blushing a little bit." What?! I felt my face, and indeed, it's warm. Like really warm. Oh...gosh...

I immediately tucked my head underneath my hoodie, so that I won't have to face Leafy physically. "Teardrop, are you hiding something from me? Y'know, you can tell me anything, or if something's bothering you, right?" I slowly took off my hoodie and nodded in agreement. I brought up my phone to Google Docs and typed in a few sentences for Leafy to read; 'I'm so happy for you Leafy! And slightly jealous, heh 😅' Leafy looked shocked and jumped out of her seat a bit. "Me?! Why are you jealous of me?" I typed in a couple more sentences; 'You're literally getting married to someone who genuinely loves you, and you love him back! Sure you guys had your ups and downs, but that's what makes a good, no great relationship healthy and strong. I sorta wish I had the same thing you and Firey have together if you know what I mean 🥺...'

Once Leafy was done reading my tiny paragraph, she placed her hand on her chest, where her heart is, and said, "Aww, Teardrop! You can have that kind of relationship with someone too! All you gotta do is this, always love them no matter what, trust them with all your heart, and know that they've got your back. Find a friend in your lover, because before love, always starts with friendship." Wow, that was really well said. I clapped my hands as a sign of my appreciation, and typed in Google Docs; 'Thx Leafy! You're a great motivator!😁' Leafy rolled her eyes playfully, "Eh, I try my best!" She turned around to Ruby and talked to her, while I got some time to finish up 'Pirate's Lost Key' Chapter XLV (45).

After 15 minutes of riding in the train, we arrived at our destination. The train stopped with a screeching halt. "Ugh, that sound reminds me of Four," Ruby whined as she was getting off first. I got off after everyone else and decided to explore the place. Finding the treasure if you will!

I walked around the big, open field to find 3 huge pillars in the middle. They weren't the pillars from the Pillory Ruins, instead they were fancy and clean? Huh, you learn something new every day. Around the pillars were sky-blue and sunset themed roses. There were so many of them, and they felt like natural roses. The sunset theme would look great for Leafy's wedding! I plucked some off and held a handful on one of my hands. I got 12 sunset roses and 2 sky-blue roses.

I was casually looking and trying to put the rose on my head. Then I heard someone scream my name, "TEARDROP?! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Ugh, they do know I can't talk. After a few moments, I felt a hand on my shoulder, so I immediately threw all of the roses at the person who was behind me, all but one. A sky-blue one I was holding on ever so tightly. "Owie! That hurts Teadster," OH MY WATER MOLECULES, IT'S GELATIN! AHHH! He was wiping his face off, and there were a few extra petals on his face. I sign-languaged 'Sorry about that!' to him and he replied back, "Oh, no worries. I probably shouldn't have snuck up on you like that, heh."

We were basically standing in silence for a while, with nothing but a gentle breeze every few moments or so. I reached my hand into his face to remove the last few petals from his face. His face turned into a light pink of a shade and his cheeks felt warm. Instead of letting go like a normal person, I keep my hand touching his cheek, while also stroking the center with my thumb. I was also subconsciously staring into his bright green eyes, while he stared into my ocean blue eyes. We both softly smiled to enjoy this moment. It was...beautiful. Gelatin noticed that I was holding on a sky-blue rose in my other hand. "Hey, can I see that for a sec?" He asked. I gave him the rose. He first placed a part of my aqua-like hair behind my ear and placed the rose in the same place, but visible for the world to see. A few moments of silence went by until he finally said, "You look stunning, TD."

I blushed hard at the pretty sudden compliment. I sign-languaged, 'Thank you.' And did something I never thought I did. I...

Kissed him...

On the cheek!

My eyes shot open in shock, so did Gelatin's. "T-Teardrop? Did y-you just–?" We got cut off by Firey who yelled out, "GELATIN! WHEN YOU FIND TEARDROP, COULD YOU COME ON OVER TO THE VENUE STAGE AREA?! BLOCKY HAS HIS SPEECH PREPARED, AND WE NEED TO PRACTICE!" I immediately sign-languaged, 'I'm so so so sorry! I don't know what got into me a-and-' Gelatin grabbed my hands to stop me from 'speaking' and finally spoke, "I-It's okay, really! Look, after the wedding, we can talk about this, okay?" I silently sighed and we walked back. Mid-way while we did, he slowly slipped his hand into mine. I silently gasped at the sudden gesture, and wrapped my fingers around his hand as well, and held it tight.

Gelatin's P.O.V:

OH MY COLLAGEN, I THINK SHE LIKES ME BACK!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH–

Teardrop's P.O.V:

We went back and I rushed over to check on Leafy. Looks like she was talking to Firey and Blocky. I showed Leafy the sunset themed flowers and her eyes shined like stars. "Oh my goodness, Teardrop! They're beautiful! Would you like to use them for our wedding?" I nodded my head gleefully. Blocky clapped his hands twice to grab out attention, "Okay, okay, let's get started with rehearsals. The groom's altar will be on my left and the bride's will be on my right. The first part will be the flower girl, which is Teardrop, surprisingly. Then the ring barrier, who is Spongy, and finally the normal roles like the bridesmaids, me, the best man, ect."

We all got to our positions and we rehearsed for about 2 hours long and 3 breaks. "Oh my sugar, I'm exhausted! Can we please go home now?" Lollipop asked with slight fatigue in her voice. I even sign-languaged, 'We can continue tomorrow, so that we have more time!' We were all in agreement. Everybody got into the train, except for Spongy, Ruby, Firey and Leafy. I didn't know what was going on, but I'd rather not interfere with their private conversations. I ended my night writing chapters with a smile on my face. '😌'

Spongy's P.O.V:

Ruby and I were talking in the distance. No, wait, we weren't talking, we were panicking! "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!?!" Ruby panicked. "I-I-I-I DON'T KNOW!" I yelled back. "Okay, let's calm down, and think. When was the last time you saw the ring?" Ruby asked me. I took a deep breath and thinked. Where did I put it? Ummm... "I-umm, don't remember..." Ruby thought for a moment and said, "Let's go straight to your house after this, we'll start searching there!" I nodded as we walked back and into the train.

Leafy's P.O.V:

Oh man. Time went by pretty quick! I didn't get a chance to visit Pin for our wedding cake. I texted her that I'll check it out tomorrow, and apologized that I lost track of time. After a while I felt a familiar head resting on my shoulder, followed by soft snoring. "Oh Firey. Long day, huh?" I whispered and kissed his cheek. "We're almost home, so you better get some sleep there," I jokingly deadpanned to him. He held onto me a little bit tighter, and I just smiled. "Love you, Fireman."
