The Clockwork Princess

22. a nice day for a white wedding

Back in Manchester, the mayor had sent the message agreeing to Caligari's demand.

The main gate to the city where opened and Caligari followed by thousands of his mechanical follower came into triumphantly the city. Caligari waved from his horse as he marched through the streets. His mechanical followers came in after him carrying flags showing bits of his new book. Caligari and his army marched up to the doors of the citie's oldest cathedral and waved to the silent people of Manchester.

'Why so solemn my soul mates on this spring of such success? Simply celebrate the sunny serman with strings of your smiles' he announced to the crowd.

Inside the church flyboy now dressed as the best man, spoke the Princess dressed in the wedding dress. Flying guessed that that the Princess had swapped clothes so that Calgair would think that that he was marrying the real princess.

'Clockwork Princes finally you switched clothes with the real Princess. You look good in the Princess Ameali'a wedding dress. Are you really really really sure you want to do this plan?' he signed to the Princess.

'Yes' said the Princess 'it's the only way to free the city of Manchester and keep the kingdom safe from Caligari as the next King!'

'I,I,I,I don't care about the safety of the Kingdom, don't do it, don't do it for me!' said the flyboy suddenly talking.

'You can talk!' said the Princess in surprise.

'I, I, I, I , can. I'm really a Prince. P,p,p,p prince Harry. I, I, I, pretended to be a flyboy so I could be locked up in the prison with. So I,1,1,1 could follow you to the real Princess. While we t,t,t,traveled I fell in love with you. I,I thought I was falling in love the real p,p,p,p,princess. Then I met the real her and I realised I,I,I didn't lover her only y,y,y,y,you. YY,ou can't marry Dr Caligari, if you do I,I,I will never be able to love anyone else ever a,a,a,a,a,a,a,a,a,again.'

Before the Princess could say anything the Turing fairy flew over head.

'Quick its Caligai, his is here dear' she announced and the Princess left the flyboy behind.

'I'm sorry' said the Princess 'the fake princess wedding must go ahead as planed'

The archbishop of Manchester stood as first Dr Caligari, then the Princess in her long white bridle gown walked down the middle of the church to the alter. Everyone stood close by as the bishop began the ceremony.

The Princess saw the look on flyboy's now Prince Harry's face.

'It's OK' the Princess signed to him quietly.

'Dearly beloved' the archbishop began.

'Ahhh' the Princess said as if she was going to sneeze, then didn't.

'Dearly beloved' the archbishop began again.

'Ahhh' the Princess said as if she was going to sneeze, but then didn't.

'Dearly beloved, we are gathered here' the archbishop began again quickly.

'TishSchooooo' the Princess said sneezing like a gun been shot at a very fast rabbit, riding by a very speeding motorbike.

Caligari noticed something bright and yellow bounce on the floor. Everyone held their breath. Caligari ignored the archbishop, walked over and picked up a tiny yellow cog from the floor.

'Stop!' he announced.

He grabbed the Princess in her wedding dress.

'So you unprincipled, perjure, you petty parasitic pedlar of puny ploy and piffling prank. You think you could pull your putrid pretence on the poet of plenty? You think your pretentious posturing of play acting in this pungent pagent could persuaded me, the president of the pamphlet, to be palmed off , to pair with the pallid parody of a pesudo Princess. I, I who vaulted this perilous palisade could be parted from my priority by this palpable pandemonium of party poppers. No the priest of this parish shall perish rather than preside over my partaking!'

'Oh he's spotted that the girl he thought he was going to marry was the fake Princess. He's taken the other one thinking they swapped clothes' said the Turnin fairy to the Prince.

Caligari pointed at the Princess in the riding out fit.

'Present this one. She is the real princess not the mechanical copy'

The rincess in her long white wedding dress was dragged over and flyboy or prince Harry came over to her.

Caligari's mechanical people came and grabbed the Princess in her riding clothes. Flyboy or Prince Harry bravely tried to stop them but there were too many for him. The Princess in her white wedding dress sat down next to the Prince Harry.

'I,I,I,I thought Caligai might work it ou,ou, out. But at least your not getting ma, mam ,ma, married to him'. Flyboy said to the Princes in the wedding dress.

The archbishop looked confused.

'Well if your ready? Are you sure this is the one you want?' he asked.

Caligri nodded.

'OK err Dearly beloved we are gathered here to today...'
