To Be in Starlight

We Were Thinking of a June Wedding

"Your what?" Aphmau shouted. "I'm attending your wedding. Do you need me to say it slower?" Maria scoffed.

"Wow you really know how to pick them Aaron" she laughed looking around at the cakes.

"Who even invited you Maria? Weren't you banned from your pack!" Katelyn said curiously.

"That's right! I was banned from my pack. So when I went back to MyStreet, I found myself a partner of sorts" she explained very vaguely.

"What kind of partner?" Aaron asked cautiously.

"All will be unveiled in a matter of time. Anyway enough about me, let's talk about the blushing bride" She said very sly.

Everyone was unsure of what Maria was planning. Maria coming back for the wedding seemed innocent enough. But highly unlikely. There had to be an ulterior motive.

"I will be the wedding coordinator of course!" She announced across the room.

"Wait what!" Lucinda said. There was this nerve in her forehead that looked like it was about to break.  Maria stepped closer to Lucinda.

"I appointed myself the responsibility of being wedding coordinator. Which means I will help our bride to be with all her dauntless little tasks" She repeated picking up magazines.

"I believe Aphmau gets to choose her coordinator" Katelyn countered. "Then let's ask her why don't we? Oh Aphmau! Are you ok with me being in charge of your wedding"

The both of them looked to Aphmau. She was silent for quite some time before she spoke. "I believe everyone deserves a second chance. If Maria says she can pull it off, I'm putting my faith in her." She said.

"Aphmau are you sure?" Katelyn asked again.
"Very" she smiled.

"Then it's settled" Maria said. "Aphmau. And friends" she added "Come with me. We have to get finalize the cake, dress, flowers, venue etcetera etcetera."

Katelyn, Lucinda, Kim ,and Aphmau all glanced at each other. They were unsure of Maria's coordinator skills. So many things could go wrong.

But, Aphmau decided to give her a second chance and that was what she was going to do.

"Cmon girls! We have a wedding to plan!" Aphmau said.

And what a wedding they'll have.

...

"So Aaron." Blaze said approaching Aaron.

"Your getting married, and of course you'll be needing a best man" He said hopefully.

Ahh. That's why he was here.

"Yeah, I've been thinking about who would be the best option" Aaron said.

"Of course!" Blaze bursted out. "I would be so honored to be your best man!" He said grabbing Aaron and strangling him in what I think was a hug.

"Uhh I was thinking of Garroth" Aaron said.
Blaze immediately tossed Aaron aside after hearing that.

"Ah come on man! I'm part of your pack, your right hand wolf!" He said pleading.

"Uhh" Aaron managed to get out. Then, Blaze started doing puppy dog eyes. You know the kind. When your sweet, adorable little puppy starts pleading. It's eyes so cute and innocent, begging you. Yeah, those eyes.

After a couple of minutes, Aaron finally broke. "Fine, I'll take what you've said into consideration" Aaron said begrudgingly.
"Your the man Aaron!" Blaze said doing some sort of high five.

...
"Aphmau's getting married" Lucinda said. "Who would've thought"

"Try telling that to every Aarmau shipper" Ghost mumbled.

"What was that?" Lucinda asked, turning around and looking at Ghost. "Nothing darling!" She replied looking around.

"And Maria is the wedding coordinator, MARIA!"  Lucinda said in frustration.

"Aphmau has a heart of gold ,but I can't say I agree with her in this decision. But it is her wedding" Kim said.

"I doubt what Maria says" Ghost butted in "There is no way that Maria has good intentions for Aphmau. I mean look at what Maria did to try and steal Aaron."  Ghost stated.

"It's Aphmau's choice to trust Maria in being her wedding planner" Kim said calmly, weighing in on the matter.

"Yeah well I'm not Aphmau" Lucinda said abruptly. She had gotten up and picked up her bag, swinging it over her shoulder. She had also gotten her black hoodie.

"Come on girls, we still have work to do" Lucinda said in a confident voice. 

Ghost had gotten up as well. "Any inspirational quotes?" Ghost had asked, talking to herself.

Kim was silent for a moment. "Yolo?" Kim said, grabbing a black sweater. "Famous last words" Ghost mumbled to herself before walking out the door.

...

"So Aphmau what kind of cake where you hoping to get?" Maria asked, organizing different fabric samples.

"Uhh vanilla" Aphmau responded. She was in the middle of getting a mani/pedi. Maria had requested it saying Aphmau needed all the rest and relaxation she could get. Maria said she had a big surprise for her.

"Oh right I forgot! You quit red velvet after Aaron told you he can't eat chocolate" Maria said.

"Yeah" Aphmau responded. She shifted her position in her chair, while trying not to move her hands or feet.

"I forgot to mention, I have this exquisite suit for Aaron. It will fit him perfectly in every area" Maria said slyly, looking at Aphmau for some sort of reaction.

"You do realize he's my fiancé right?" Aphmau said coolly, trying to keep her composure.

"Oh I know." Maria said approaching Aphmau.
"And I also know I have know ability to convince you to leave Aaron." She said, having a smile as wide as the Cheshire Cat.

"But I think I know someone who does have that power, someone's opinion that you've always wanted but could never get." She said vaguely.

"What are you talking about Maria? Who's opinion!" Aphmau had shouted. She had disturbed everyone in the nail salon. She had an apologetic look on her face.

"You'll see in a moment" she said turning towards the door. "You can come on in" she said very loudly.

Then moments after the door had opened, and came through was...

"Dad?" Aphmau said shaking off the nail artists , and standing up.

"Hi honey" he had said smiling.
