~ Chapter 17: Wedding Bells ~
Sonic, Y/N, and the Freedom Fighters have been fighting the brilliant and sinister Dr. Eggman for their liberty for over a decade. During that time, they've lost so much, it seems only right that they've become closer. Antoine D'Coolette's marriage to Bunnie Rabbot comes as no surprise, nor does it that Sonic and Y/N are found under the care of their Uncle Chuck. Right now, Y/N is in Rosie's house as she was forced to wear a dress that she's not a fan of wearing, but her mom had to pull a trump card on her. After getting Bunnie in her wedding dress as well as styling her hair with the help of Y/N who gave her a nice purple pendant necklace as she placed it around her neck, they decided to get her into a dress.
"Come on, Sugah. Just come out. It's fine." Bunnie said, looking at the door Y/N is hiding in.
"No! I've never worn this before! I feel ridiculous...!"
"You'll never know unless you let us see you." Sally said.
"Sweetie, it's only a wedding. You have nothing to worry about." Rosie reassured.
"Hmph... F-Fine...!"
Y/N hesitantly opened the door and revealed herself in a nice blue dress with earrings and a necklace and a bracelet. Kirby was beside her with a nice black bowtie.
"Wow!! Y/N!! You look so beautiful!" Bunnie gasped.
"You look absolutely stunning!" Sally smiled.
"Pooteetah." Kirby nodded in agreement, looking up at Y/N.
"Indeed she is. She's going to get all the boys to fall down on their knees with just one look at her dress." Rosie agreed.
Y/N blushed in embarrassment, looking down and holding her arm.
"Thanks... I kinda like it..." she said. "But you look beautiful as well Bunnie."
"Aw, stop!"
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door and Y/N quickly hid behind Sally who chuckled. Rosie opened it to reveal Sonic who's in a nice black suit with a red bowtie.
"You leave Bunnie to us. Go bother the groom." Rosie said.
"The Chaotix beat me to it. Can't I do anything, Rosie? Oh, and how's my sister doing? I like to see her how she looks. Don't want any man to get all goo goo eyes at her."
Y/N and Kirby rolled their eyes that he's still protective of her.
"Convince Julie-Su she looks fine in a dress."
"Let's not ask for miracles here."
"Your sister is fine. You'll see her soon."
Rosie turned around and looked at Amy before she made a sneaky smile on her face.
"Alright, then..."
She pushed Amy out of the door, surprising Sonic.
"Keep your flower girl entertained until the ceremony!"
"Sonic!" Amy squealed with hearts in her eyes.
"Amy?!"
After Rosie closed the door on Sonic, Y/N, Kirby, and Sally giggled.
"Aw, Rosie, that was cruel!" Bunnie said with a smile.
"But funny." Sally said, still laughing along with Y/N.
"Of course."
Bunnie, Sally, and Y/N looked at themselves in the mirror.
"Ah, Sally... Y/N... You're the best."
Bunnie turned to Y/N.
"How did you even manage to get this beautiful necklace?"
"I actually made it myself with the help of Tails. That necklace you're wearing is Infinity Love Heart. It means yours and Antoine's love will never break and will always be forever."
Bunnie smiled, admiring the purple heart shaped necklace.
"Isn't it ironic? When you first came to us, you wanted to be my hair stylist." Sally said.
"Sho'nuff! And ah still will-- when ah'm not smashing Badniks or spendin' time with mah man!"
"We're proud of you, Bunnie. Antoine's a good man." Y/N said.
Bunnie, Sally, and Y/N hugged. Kirby went in the middle to join in the hug.
"Ah count mah lucky stars ah got him. We've both lost so much-- it's only right that we're there to support each other."
"And I'm proud of the three of you. You've kept us all safe for so long and grown up into such lovely, competent young ladies." Rosie said, smiling.
"Thank you, Rosie! Maybe Sally will follow mah lead and marry soon, too!" Bunnie smirked, looking at Sally.
"Oh, yes! Someone handsome and brave... and blue..." Rosie added with a smirk as well.
"And my soon to be sister-in-law~" Y/N smirked widely.
"Pooteetah..." Kirby cooed, smirking as well.
Sally blushed.
"M-Maybe someday. But, who knows. Maybe the next one down the aisle will be you, Y/N."
"Huh? What? Me? Ha! I don't need no man!" Y/N laughed, flickering her quills with a proud smile.
"Suuuuure you are!" Sally, Bunnie, and Rosie teased, knowing certain guys and some girls will try and win Y/N's heart one day.
They began to laugh along with Y/N.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later, Y/N and Kirby met up with Sonic, Knuckles who's in his ancient echidna clothes, and Espio who's in his dark purple kimono, as well as Julie-Su who's in a dress with the same ancient echidna clothes Knuckles is wearing as Y/N thought she looks good.
"Wow, sis! Looking good!"
"And you look good too and rather sharp, but still the dummy brother I know."
"Hey!"
"Y-Y/N! Wow! Y-You look beautiful." Knuckles stuttered, feeling his cheeks turn pink.
"Of course she's beautiful." Julie-Su teased.
"It suits you, Y/N." Espio said, blushing.
Mighty nodded in agreement, blushing as well.
"Thanks, Knuckles, Espio. Though I'm not a fan of dressing up like this." Y/N said.
"I feel ya, girl. Same for me." Julie-Su agreed.
"At least you look good."
"Like what my sis said."
"Well, I gotta go and get in place. Let's go, Sonic!"
Y/N runs off with Kirby holding onto her shoulder and with Sonic catching up as he waves at his friends.
"Catch ya at the reception!"
As soon as they're gone, Julie-Su looked at Knuckles.
"So, when are you and Y/N going to make it official??"
"Not yet. Someday."
"Ha! I'm pretty sure I will be the one to get her first." Mighty said, pointing at himself.
"I'm much more suited to her first." Espio scoffed.
"We'll see about that." Knuckles smirked.
"May the best man win." Mighty smirked back.
Julie-Su sighed.
"Boys..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sonic, Y/N, and Kirby made it inside the throne room to meet Sally, Elias and his wife and his baby, Alicia, and Nigel who's in his wheelchair as they skeed to a stop.
"You can all relax! The best man and the maid of honor are on the scene!"
"Never doubted, Sonic and Y/N." Elias said. "On behalf of the royal family, I welcome you all the same."
"Some of us like to be prepared instead of waiting for the last second." Sally teased with a smirk.
"Yeah, well, not all of us are obessive-compulsive worry-warts."
"Indolent!"
"Prude!"
"Jeez, you two. Get married already." Y/N smirked, causing their face to turn red.
"Sis!!/Y/N!!"
Kirby giggled, covering his mouth while Y/N just smirk.
"Do you remember how we used to tease like that, Maximillian?" Alicia asked.
"Young love can be so cruel." Nigel agreed.
"We're not teasing!"
"Well, I am. It's borderline treason, otherwise."
"Nonesense, Sonic. The crown recognizes your service. You're practically family and almost were at one point." Elias said.
"Heh, yeah." Sonic said, looking at Sally and quickly look away along with Sally with blushes on their cheeks.
"Oh, look! It's Tails' mom and dad! Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Prower!"
"Good afternoon, Sonic and Y/N." Amadeus greeted.
"Always a pleasure." Rosemary greeted.
Elias shook hand with Amadeus while Rosemary curtsied.
"Commander Prower! Thank you again for leading the honor guard for today's ceremony!"
"My pleasure, your highness. It's most gracious of you to perform the union for them."
"The honor is mine. And that sure, is why I am so optimistic for our great nation. Soon you won't have much more power than that, anyway."
Tails came in with a clipboard and he is also in a black suit.
"Um... mom? Here's the updated attendance list."
"Thank you, Tails." Rosemary smiled.
"What did you mean by that, dad?"
"Just that your mother and I have a number of suggestions for the structure of the kingdom, Tails. New plans to better the lives for everyone in Knothole."
"Oh—okay!"
Tails turned and his face turn pink to see Y/N in a nice blue dress as he could have swore he saw some sparkles all around her. Y/N turned to him with her eyes fluttered.
"Hi, Tails! Don't you look good."
"H-Hi! Wow! Y-You look...look so... b-beautiful!"
"Thank you."
Rosemary and Amadeus smirked at their son's stutter.
"Keep it smooth and you might win her over." Amadeus whispered into his son's ear.
"D-Dad!!"
"He also wanted to tell you how extravagant you are." Rosemary said to Y/N, teasing Tails more.
"Mom!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That evening, Antoine and Bunnie are already at the altar with Elias standing in between them as Sonic, Y/N, Sally, Amy, and Rotor are either side of them. Kirby is sitting on Cream's lap who's a flower girl next to Cheese. Everyone else is sitting down in the castle throne room.
"My people of Knothole! Today we are gathered to see the union of two of our finest! Two Freedom Fighters who, like all of us, have lost a great deal in our struggle for freedom— But like us all, they have shown the courage to make it to this day. It is because of their selflessness that we can enjoy this moment. And we have nothing but thanks for their actions, and for letting us join them on their happiest of days! Without further ado, it is my great pleasure to unite Commander Antoine D'Coolette and Bunnie Rabbot in a union for life." Elias announced.
Antoine nervously pulled out a golden ring and placed it around Bunnie's finger.
"W-w-with th-this ring, I-I-I th-thee wed!"
Bunnie took out a golden ring and placed it around Antoine's finger in tears.
"With this r-ring, ah thee wed."
"I now pronounce you husband and wife!" Elias proudly said.
Bunnie and Antoine kissed and everyone clapped and cheered. Amy cried hard like a waterfall as if she was going to flood the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That night, Y/N stood nervously on stage as they're gathered at the Coliseum for the reception. After having dinner and a cake, it was time for the dance as Bunnie and Antoine went in the dance floor first and look at Y/N. She turn to her brother, family, and friends as they gave her thumbs up and a nod that she can do it. She took a deep breath and nodded to pianist as they started playing.
https://youtu.be/oTo0PLrLm48
Everyone are in awe at her wonderful voice as she sings. Bunnie and Antoine started dancing through the songs, staring into each other's eyes. Everyone else started dancing as well and loving the song Y/N's singing. Sonic and Sally are dancing together. Knuckles, Mighty, and Espio couldn't stop staring at Y/N and Sonic gave them a secret glare for eyeing her, except for Tails who had a goofy smile on his face once again. Sally rolled her eyes and made Sonic focus on her. Jules and Bernadette teared up at how beautiful their daughter have become. Cream smiled, swaying through the music and her song as she dance with Kirby and Cheese.
As soon as Y/N finished singing, everyone applauded with cheers. Y/N blushes and bows and walks out of the stage. The next song came as Y/N came into the dance floor until a hand was held out to her and turned to see Knuckles.
"Care for a dance?"
"S-Sure."
Y/N took his hand and Knuckles took her in his arms in a classic dance stance with his right hand on her waist and his left hand in her right hand as Y/N's left hand is on his right shoulder. They started to dance through waltz, much to her surprise as she follow what he was doing.
"Wow. I never knew you can dance."
"There are other things you don't know about me."
Y/N giggled as she shift her weight to her right foot without moving her left as she did a gentle leaning movement. Knuckles slide his left foot over to his right, standing with his feet together. Y/N mirrored her steps. Now, Knuckles step back one step with right foot and Y/N step forward with her left. Then, step back and to the left with his left foot, then shift his weight to his left foot. And he slide his right foot forward together, feet together along with Y/N as they face each other. Knuckles was about to make a move on her when a gloved finger tapped him on the shoulder and he turned to see Mighty.
"May I dance with her?"
"Sure..." Knuckles said through his forced smile, trying not to explode as he lean Y/N back up.
Mighty took Y/N's hand and guided her somewhere where it's just a two of them in the dance floor and he suddenly dipped her down. Y/N giggled, remembering when he saved her from the Dingoes. Then, Mighty steps forward with the left foot, Y/N mirrors by stepping back with the right. He steps forward with the right foot, mirrored again by Y/N's right. Mighty steps forward again with the left, a slightly smaller step, preparing to step to the side with the right, then steps to the right with the right foot, using a technique known as "collecting" the foot.
"Was that tango?"
"It quite it is, beautiful." Mighty smirked, causing Y/N to blush at the compliment.
Mighty then did one of the more flashy, dramatic, and very simple tango dance steps is the corte. Y/N was in awe as he dip her down again with their nose touched slightly when another gloved finger tapped Mighty on the head and he and Y/N looked up to see Espio.
"Mind if I take her?"
"No. No problem." Mighty said, feeling a little mad as he want to spend more time with her.
He dipped her back up as Espio took Y/N's hand and moved her away from Mighty. Y/N was little confused and flustered that every guys she knows really want to dance with her. Espio faced her as he start with the left and do two walks forward, side step and then close with Y/N following his lead as she start with her right foot and do two walks back, a side step, and then close.
"Foxtrot, huh?"
"Yep."
"Aren't you quite a charmer dancer." Y/N smirked, causing him to blush.
"T-Thanks."
Knuckles and Mighty look over at them with jealousy. Espio and Y/N did the rock step and then the promenade step as they face each other. Espio was about lean in to kiss Y/N when Tails came in, much to his dismay.
"May I have this dance with Y/N?"
"Yeah..."
"Hey, Tails." Y/N greeted as Tails took her hand and guided her somewhere away from the others that wanted to dance with her.
Tails then did a ballroom dance with Y/N.
"Wow. You're good."
"I have been p-practicing for a while."
"Practice makes perfect and you're a good dancer."
"T-Thank you, Y/N." Tails stuttered.
He suddenly accidentally trip himself and was about to fall when Y/N quickly caught him by wrapping her arms around his waist and pulled him back up. Their faces were inches apart with their face pink. They both started to chuckle at how silly they are.
Later, it was time for the bouquet toss as Bunnie stood on stage with her back facing the girls.
"Y'all ready?!"
She then threw the bouquet over her head high in the air as all the girls except for Y/N tried to reach out to catch it. But to their surprise it landed right into Y/N's hands. Her face turned red as everyone clapped. She turned to see Knuckles, Tails, Mighty, and Espio staring at her with a smile. She covered her face with the bouquet, knowing she's going to choose who she will be with and marry one day.
