Spongy's P.O.V:

Ruby and I were inside the train, on our way to southern Gloiky, but after 20 minutes of riding, the train led to a screeching halt. "Owchie! It does sound like Four..." I winced as I was covering my ears. She, too, was covering her ears with a smirk on her face. I immediately regretted asking Ruby for help. Oh, well; at least the rings are safe inside my pocket. I patted my pockets and felt the cube-shaped object inside and sighed in relief. "So, umm, where are we?" I asked Ruby, not knowing exactly where we were. "Oh, you'll see~" She sang as she was skipping merrily to the open train doors and exited out.

I walked out with my legs shaking from exhaustion. On the other side was...FIREY?! A-AND LEAFY?! The next thing I knew was Firey jumped out and tried to attack me. We were both on the train's floor. He looked at me with anger burning in his eyes as he was trying to pull my curly hair while I was pushing his hands away from me. "FIREY!" I heard Leafy shout out. She tried to stop our fight, but Ruby held her down and locked in her arms on her elbows. After a horrifying two minutes, the train's door closed and we were slowly but surely driving away. "What the..." He whispered as he got off me and looked out at the back window.

He noticed that we were getting far, and far away from our original stop point. He turned around and immediately broke an emergency fire extinguisher and threw it directly at my face. I felt my world spinning and I also felt something flying out of my pocket as we were taking a turn. We took another turn and it placed itself on the tip of Firey's shoe. "What's this?" He asked as he picked it up. I, with my bruised face, muffledly replied, "I-It's your we-wedding rings..." And flopped myself into the ground.

I still wasn't unconscious yet, surprisingly. I panted in and out, trying to calm myself down; not knowing what Firey's doing with the rings. I tilted my head around and witnessed him staring at the rings with tiny tears forming inside his eyes. I fully sat up and asked the broken man, "Hey...Firey? Is everything okay?" He perked up with sadness all over his face and shook his head. "I-umm, I-I think I'm g-going crazy..." He said while placing his hand over his head. I shook my head and replied, "There's a difference between going insane and stress, and what you're experiencing right now is Type One level of stress. It's okay to feel this way." That's when he yelped out "B-But everything has to be perfect! R-Right?!"

He panicked as he got up from his seat and started to pace around the train and rambled on and on about all of the negatives that will 'probably' happen. "Wh-What if we forgot something o-or someone? What if we have to use a backup plan because of the weather?! W-WHAT IF SHE SAYS NO?!?!" He was shaking my whole body, but stopped after venting out the last sentence. "Are you worried Leafy might not like it? You know she's not that kind of person, right?" I tried to reassure him, but all I got in return was him gaslighting himself by saying, "Today, I had to LIE to my own fiancé, all because I was behind schedule. All for some stupid wine. Last night, she was so stressed out, to the point where she was probably coming back to her old mental state during BFDIA! I couldn't stand seeing her like that...AND I ALSO LIED SO YES, I FEEL EVEN WORSE! Ugh, I am such a terrible person..."

After giving him a moment to calm down, I tried to think of ways on how to make him feel better. "Umm...I-I think acknowledging that you were doing something wrong is...a start?" I started out. He sadly shrugged his shoulders and mumbled a 'Yeah, I guess' underneath his breath. That's when I remembered a quote that Blocky told me about his speech during practices. "Well, at the end of the day, you guys will talk it out and realize that the most important thing is not the pretty flowers or decoration, it's your relationship with Leafy! And how much you both love each other." He smiled and apologized, "Thanks. Oh, and sorry for trying to murder you! I thought you actually lost my rings, I should've texted you for confirmation." I shrugged, letting him know it's nothing personal. "I did lose them, but I didn't and...It's a long story." I sighed and flopped myself back down on the floor again.

Firey helped me up and gave me back the rings and noticed that we were still moving. His eyes opened up in fear as panic penetrated my heart. "Umm, how long have we been inside the train?" He asked as he was scanning around the moving train. I froze in fear as we both came to the conclusion that...WE WERE BOTH TRAPPED INSIDE A MOVING TRAIN! "Gosh DARN IT RUBY! That was her plan all along, DOH!" I huffed in anger as I was going to the 'driver's' seat to find the lever. I sighed in anger and pulled it back 2,763 miles behind to our last stop, while going 900 miles per hour (mph). "Looks like we'll be here for a while." I grumbled as I placed my hand on my face.

During the entire trip, Firey and I managed to finish up all of the wedding plans, rehearsals, and entertainment thanks to modern technology, and we both forgot that we had our phones. Three hours and four minutes passed by and we finally arrived back to Ruby and Leafy...not before Firey and I slapped her up to a pulp!

Leafy's P.O.V:

I was hesitant at first, but after watching my fiancé and ring bearer take turns slapping Ruby and thinking about it, she honestly deserved it. I also took the opportunity to push Spongy to the station ground. "I deserved that..." He mumbled as his face was smashed on the concrete floor. I rolled my eyes playfully and decided to get on the train back home. "I'm ready to go back now, anybody coming with me?" I asked as I was going inside the train. Ruby, Spongy, Firey, and I all boarded the train and headed back home. Hope everything back home goes well!
