Holding out for a hero, Peter Quill

018. DISTRESS SIGNAL

Chapter eighteen

"Distress signal."

It had been a year since Atara and Peter had gotten engaged and in that year the two had gotten married, on Berhert, seeing as Rocket thought the woods there were the closest thing to Atara's planet, where as the sun shined down from the tree's, Craglen stood there being the one to marry them, Peter wore his long red jacket while Atara stood across him wearing a long white dress with bell sleeves and had a flower crown on her head that Mantis had made her, as her and Peter held hands, Rocket, Drax, Mantis and Gamora all watched them.

"This is truly an honor seeing as I've only ever been overlooked or a second in command to be standing in front of you all to bring together two people who have been through different paths across the galaxy that lead them straight to each other. And having only ever really known the ravanger code, even then I've never seen two people more willing to risk their lives for each other since these two. And since Yondu can't be here himself, I'll tell you what he told me that day we left you on Xandar. He said that a love like yours was forever written in the stars of the galaxy and that I love like yours doesn't come around often especially for people like us ravangers." Craglin shared.

And as he did, Atara smiled at Peter, squeezing his hand, Peter smiled back at her "Peter Jason Quill, do you take princess Atara of Alfheim to be your wife, through sickness and health and forever and whatever comes after that?" Craglin asked "I do." Peter said "and do you princess Atara of Alfheim, take the Peter Jason Quill to be your husband, through sickness and health and forever and whatever comes after that?" Craglin asked "I do." Atara said "you may kiss the bride." Craglin said, and as he did, Peter moved forward, dipping Atara, he kissed her, Atara kissed him.

As the others clapped, Gamora, Mantis, Drax smiled but Rocket was crying and as he did, Drax looked down at him "are you crying?" he asked "no! It's allergies!" Rocket voiced, wiping his tears away "I am groot." Groot said "I am not lying!" Rocket voiced, continuing to cry, as Drax put his arm around him.

Where as that year went by, they continued on being the guardians of the galaxy, listening for distress signals and figuring out which one they all wanted to go to and a lot of times it came down to who they thought might pay more, as one of them came through, they began flying in the direction of it, they were listening to music like they always did as rubberband man by the spinners played, Atara was wearing Peter's long red jacket and a red dress with leggings and boots as her and Peter were dancing in their seats.

"(Du du du du du du du du)

Got speed to move it
Get rubberband off the ground, uh
(Du du du du du du du du)
He lifted it well high
In the sky, y'all
And then he
Du du du du du
Oh, get with it, y'all."

Atara and Peter then began to sing along

"hey, ya'll prepare yourself for the rubberband man."

"Sing it, Drax!" Peter voiced but Drax was dead asleep, as Atara and Peter continued to sing so did Gamora.

"You've never heard a sound

Like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam."

Rocket then yawned "why are we doing this again?" he asked "it's a distress signal, Rocket. Someone could be dying." Gamora shared "I get that, but why are we doing it?" Rocket asked "cause we're nice." Atara shared "and maybe whoever it is will give us a little chedder cheese for our effort." Peter shared "that too." Atara said "which isn't the point." Gamora reminded them "which isn't the point, but!" Atara voiced "but if he doesn't pony up.." Peter shared "we take his ship." Drax told them "exactly!" Rocket voiced "b..b..bingo!" Peter voiced "all right!" Rocket voiced.
