Word Girl and the 7 Deadly sins

Chapter 18: The decision

Pacing back and forth in her room, our plucky superheroine was internally debating on what to do. How are you feeling about all this Becky?

"I don't know what to think." She replied to the question. "What if this whole thing is some kind of ruse to get me to go back and it turns out that nothing is wrong?" She said with a worried tone. "What if it's still a ruse but to kidnap me specifically? I'm super nervous about Huggy's upcoming trial. I wish I could be a key witness but I was 3 I hardly remember even first getting to earth."

Well, whatever the answer may be you have a wedding to attend today. Don't forget it.

Suddenly remembering, she quickly got changed into her dress she picked out for the wedding.

*what does ruse mean?* Asked Bob as he continued to swing in his hammock until it was time to leave.

"Oh. A ruse is an action intended to deceive someone, or a trick." She replied to her monkey sidekick just as there was a knock at her door.

"Becky, are you ready? We have to get going if we want good seats." Said the voice of her adoptive mother Sally Botsford.

"Yeah mom, I'm coming." Said Becky as she got Bob out of the hammock and made her way to the door.

Later......

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Becky wore a red strapless dress that went down to her knees. Tobey wore a black tuxedo with a red bowtie to match his girlfriend. He also wore contacts so his eyes would show more clearly.

Jackie wore a light green dress that was the same style as Becky's. Rex wore a lime green suit that kind of made him look like the riddler from Batman.

Scoops and Violet got home in time to make it to the wedding. Violet wore a violet colored gown that was the same style as her friend's dresses. Scoops wore a necktie that matched his girlfriend's dress. Violet convinced him not to wear his reporter hat.

"Oh I just love weddings." Sniffed Sally Botsford as she wiped a few tears from her eyes. "And then Becky and her friends will be leaving for college. There is so many changes happening this year. It's all too much." She blew her nose into a handkerchief.

"There, there dear." Said Tim Botsford as he patted his wife on the back. "I just hope nothing else weird happens."

Later at the reception....

After the cutting of the cake and the first dance and everyone got to dance with the bride and groom it was time for the bouquet toss.

Violet, Becky and Jackie gathered around along with the other unwed women at the reception to catch it. Becky and Jackie ended up on top of one another in an attempt to catch the bouquet without the use of their superpowers. Becky was going to fly up in the air to catch It but Jackie quickly tackled her to the ground in order to conceal their identities. It was Violet who ended up catching the bouquet.

"Does this mean I will be the next one of us to be wed?" She asked herself out loud.

Jackie got up first and she helped up Becky after apologizing for tackling her. Becky walked over to Violet and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Are you ready for marriage?" Becky asked her friend seriously.

Violet thought for a moment. She placed her free hand on her chin in deep thought before answering.

"At the moment we are still quite young. Perhaps after we graduate college. For now we should work on making the relationship last that long. I don't know for certain if I will marry Scoops but if I do it will be spectacular if I do. And of course I would want you to be the maid of honor Becky." Said Violet with a small smile on her face.
