Things happened so quickly Bastin had trouble keeping track of what was happening. He got fitted for his suit and felt absolutely silly in the thing but it was necessary. He was going to be married! He was so excited, soon they would be married. The only problem is they wouldn't get time to really celebrate, Wolf would send one of them on a mission not long after the wedding was over.

The day came for the wedding and Bastin had been asleep alone, missing Anise something terrible. He didn't want to be separated from her ever again. Adela cane to wake him up and he groaned, shaking his head. "Five more minutes." He mumbled, rolling over so his back was towards her.

See the devil on the doorstep now (my oh my)
Telling everybody oh just how to live their lives
Sliding down the information highway
Buying in just like a bunch of fools
Time is ticking and we can't go back (my oh my)
What about the world today
What about the place that we call home
We've never been so many
And we've never been so alone

Adela groaned, "c'mon! I promised Charlie that I'd make sure you got over to his place on time, then I have to go so that Cinnamon can do my hair!" She huffed and stood back, hands on her hips, "do you want to get married or not?" Considering the way he always seemed to light up when anyone said 'married' these days, she knew he would probably respond.

You keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are
You wash your hands and come out clean
Fail to recognize the enemies within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are, we are, we are...

When she mentioned the wedding he sat up suddenly, looking at her with wide eyes. "We're going to be late." He grabbed his glasses and after a few seconds of struggling managed to stand up. "We need to go. What time is it?" He looked around, feeling a mix of emotions. He was excited and scared, happy but nervous. "My suits at Charlie's right? I can't remember, what do I need to take? Where did I put the rings?" His mind was drawing a blank, the day had just started and he was already stressing out.

Adela sighed in a way only a preteen could, with a long, low groan that let you know exactly what she thought. "We won't be late. I woke you up in enough time. Your suit is at Charlie's, you don;t need to take anything, because Alex has the rings. You just need to show up, okay? But you should get dressed first." Luckily, Adela had made him take a bath the night before so that wasn't an issue.

Bastin gave her a nervous smile, nodding his head. "I should really do that. Yeah." He turned and quickly went to get dressed. He was so nervous and excited, he could barely think straight. All he could think about was Anise walking down the aisle and getting married.

Adela waited, and once Bastin was ready she took his hand and walked him to Charlie's house. Coral was there to give Bastin a hug and Adela pointed to the couch, "there are your suits. Don't be late, okay?" She looked at Alex, smiling a little at the boy who's suit matched hers. Adela loved that Alex's suit matched her dress. The same way Charlie's matched Coral's dress, and Bastin also had a suit that shared a color scheme with Anise's gown.

"Okay! We gotta go! Bye!" Adela and Coral headed out to where they would get ready with Cinnamon and Anise.

Bastin wasn't quite sure what happened over the course of the day, everything happened so fast. He was so nervous, and incredibly excited. Charlie had to keep redirecting him or else the young man probably would have been too unfocused to even get dressed. All Bastin could think of was watching Anise come down the aisle in her dress, he was sure it'd be breath taking. Hopefully he wouldn't pass out from excitement, he shouldn't, he'd be able to keep calm. Everything would go perfect.

Everything went off just fine and soon the three of them headed to the library. Bastin was still somewhat frazzled, beginning to be more nervous than excited. He fiddled with his glasses, looking around. It wasn't that he was having second thoughts, he was worried Anise might be having them. Or that something would happen and they wouldn't be able to be married.

Anise was trembling as Cinnamon did the final touches, standing back and smiling, tears in her eyes. "You look wonderful." Anise tried to smile, sucking in a shaky breath, "y-you think so?" Adela grinned, "yes, you look amazing."

Anise smiled and felt a curl fall on her cheek as she stood up. She tried to stop shaking and gave everyone a big grin, "is it time?" Coral nodded and Cinnamon reached out, she was going to walk Anise down the aisle.

Bastin was inside, probably standing in front of Wolf. Charlie and Alex however were waiting outside as per the rehearsal. The girls came up and Coral flushed as she looked at Charlie, averting her eyes as she fluffed out her dress. Adela on the other hand, grinned at her outfit buddy, holding her basket close as she made sure he had the rings. Cinnamon grinned at the two adorable couples, imagining that one of them would be married in the near future, and the other? Well, growing up changed things, but she certainly wouldn't mind seeing that marriage either. Finally, Anise stood at the front of the library, staring a the closed door with her cheeks flushed, first, Adela went it, scattering wildflowers petals with Alex by her side, they took their places, and then in came Coral with Carlie, Coral holding Charlie's arm as she nervously smiled at everyone. Then, last of all, Anise appeared in her gown, holding Cinnamon's arm, almost as if she feared that without this older woman she wouldn't know where to go, as she looked up the aisle to see Bastin, and her face broke into a large grin. Not many of their friends could make it. None of the ones that had helped bring them to this paradise could come, as they had been sent on a mission, but Bastin's coworkers and Anise's were sitting down, along with some of the people Adela had taught, not to mention Wolf and his son and wife, who had front row seats.

Finally, Cinnamon was sitting down while Anise took the last few steps on her own, before she reached Bastin and took his hand, giving it a squeeze.

Charlie and Alex did their parts, walking down the aisle with their respective partner. Charlie couldn't help but think Coral looked absolutely stunning, she was beautiful. Alex thought similarly, thinking Adela looked nice in her dress but was too shy to ever say anything about it. When all of them took their place it was time for Anise to come down the aisle and every eye was on her.

Bastin turned to looked at the beautiful woman coming down the aisle, a goofy grin spreading acrossed his face. Anise approached and he gave her hand a squeeze back, his blue eyes looking a little watery as he looked at her. He couldn't believe it, it was finally happening. He was going to marry the woman he loved and nothing was going to stop it. No one was going to keep them apart. No one knew he was Aryan and the ones who did, didn't care. They were equals here, it wasn't about color, it was just about love.

"You look stunning." He said quietly, before glancing at the gathering. "This is amazing."

Anise flushed when she heard Bastin's praise, she smiled gently at him before Wolf began to ceremony, speaking about partnerships and the importance of love in times like this. In the end, it felt more like a political speech than a marriage, but finally he ended it and told them they could kiss, Anise turned to Bastin and gladly obliged.

The ceremony began then, people staying for drinks, food and some dancing. While Adela watched Bastin and Anise take their first dance, her hand around the necklace they gave her, Wolf appeared, "congratulations on your new family." He told her, and she looked up, surprised, before she smiled, "thank you." He nodded and then gave his son a rather dangerous looking glare, indicating that he needed to come over to the girl, and once he had Wolf left.

The ceremony went by, Bastin only really half paying attention to what Wolf was saying, most of his focus was on Anise. He smiled the whole time and when it was time for the kiss he held her tightly as they kissed, before releasing her so they could go to the party. It was nice, most people stayed around for food and drinks. He had his first dance with Anise and actually managed to not step on her toes. All in all it was a very fun time, although it still hadn't quite sunk in that he was married now and that Anise was Mrs. Spruhen.

Peter didn't want to go near Adela but knew better than to go against his father. He walked over, hands in his pockets as he looked at the girl. "Congratulations..." He mumbled before looking around at the other guests. "At least they seem happy."

Adela nodded, "you tend to be happy when you're in love." She glanced at his father and cleared her throat, "by the way, make sure to practice your algebra for next week, you still seem to have trouble solving those quadratic equations as far as I can tell from your last assignment." She crossed her arms over her chest and watched as everyone else began to dance, Coral leading Alex out to the dance floor, laughing gently as she danced with the boy.

Peter sighed, rolling his eyes. "You don't use most of this stuff in practical application. I don't care how tall a tree is. I don't need to figure it out by using it's shadow." He grumbled, he really didn't like it at all. "I bet you don't make your boyfriend there do anything hard." He said watching as Alex danced with Coral, his lips pressed into a line. She just wanted to make things hard for him because she didn't like him.

Adela frowned intensely, hating to admit that she hadn't really tried to teach Alex any math, mostly because she just wanted to talk to him, and maybe, just maybe, she was scared that he wouldn't be able to understand the math, and maybe he would think she was strange for understanding it.

"He's too busy working to have to worry about education!" She told Peter, arms crossed over her chest defiantly. "Unlike you he's not a spoiled brat. He works hard and therefore he's more of a man then you'll ever be." She didn't know why she said this, but sometimes in books women would say this to a man she didn't like, and it always seemed to crush his ego. So she hoped it would work here to.o.

Peter gave her a confused look before shaking his head. "I'd rather be educated than that." He said, gesturing towards Alex again. "My father says the uneducated cannot think for themselves, that's why they need a leader. Someone to tell then what to do or else they become lost. I bet he does anything and everything you ask of him, like a dog."
