Chapter 2
Pippy and Jinx immediately panicked covering up Harmony with a dome of hair! The two trolls stood in front of the Bride making extra sure that she couldn't be seen. Why? River was here and it was considered bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her dress before the wedding.
The same rule also applied to the groom in his suit too but, River was still in a suit of light wieght leaf armor which was a little odd. Everyone else was dressed and ready for a wedding but, River was dressed like he was going into battle? Everyone knew that River was part of the small army Pop Village had but, that didn't mean a suit of armor was appropriate for him to wear at every event.
" NOTHING!" Pip yelled dramatically.
Harmony separated some of the hair with her hands creating a big enough peekhole to reveal her face. She lovingly smiled at her fiancé. River chuckled at how her face cutely poked out as he approached the side Pip and Jinx weren't protecting.
" Boop." River said playfully tapping Harmony's nose.
The wind gently blew through male troll's neat strawberry blonde hair. His Aqua skin was protected from the sun thanks to his armor. River also had orange nose which appeared lighter due to the sun shining through the leaves of the tree, they were in. The Princess gazed into his black eyes lovingly with a goofy smile on her face.
Jinx rolled his eyes while Harmony giggled as a result. Giving up his position, the redhead made his way up on his current critter while keeping the hair tent in tact. Pippy just watched River being extra attentive than usual to the heir. Pip's mind drifted off into space, wondering why he wasn't wearing his tuxedo. Last time she check, her father had released him from his services temporarily after Harmony and him had gotten engaged. It especially wasn't mandatory for River to serve today or on any other day after. Not to mention most of the army had their day cleared with only a quarter guarding the Royal Wedding.
" Need some help getting out of there,Hon?" River joked.
" It's Bad Luck to see me in my dress. " Harmony reminded.
" Do I at least get a kiss? I hadn't seen you for two weeks. " River smirked.
Roland playfully made a kissing face while meaning closer to his soon-to-be wife. Harmony giggled even more pretending to avoid his kisses at first, before giving him a quick peck on the cheek. River grabbed and lifted up her chin just to steal a couple more kisses from his bride, causing Harmony to blush in the proccess. He was being more spontaneous than she expected and she was honestly adoring the amount of affection he was giving her. He always did this whenever he came back from one of his trips.
River had went on his week long bachelor party two weeks ago and had extended it to extra week last minute. Harmony and her family were fully aware about the changes too since he sent her a letter stating that him and his friends needed to give their critters extra time to rest. The Princess never saw anything wrong with it, despite the idea of taking a extra week instead of a day was a very odd choice to most of the family. It didn't matter to Harmony much since she much rather have her man return safely than be harmed from his travels.
" Save something for the wedding,Love Birds. " Pippy teased.
Jinx petted his critter while doing his best to ignore the strange feeling growing in his stomach. The critter hummed as it sensed the gently movements against it's fur. For some reason feeling the softness of the blue fur wasn't helping him chase away completely the bothersome feeling.
" Oh Jinx. I didn't see you there... You look different... " River said politely while gesturing to Jinx's suit.
River didn't like Jinx either due to how close him and Harmony were. He would be nice to Jinx since he was his fiancée's friend afterall but, River secretly hoped that the guy would eventually grow distant from her and had thought during the time Jinx was around less would remain like that. River had even made Harmony stay with him multiple times when they were dating,whenever she wanted to go hangout with Jinx alone. He still couldn't convince his partner to end things with Jinx so he was just going to contuine being nice until him and Harmony were married to talk about what needs to change in his opinion.
" Thanks. You look the same. " Jinx joked awkwardly gesturing to the suit of armor.
Then everyone's hug watch dinged! Jinx,Harmony and Pippy all checked their watches while River just glanced at the oppsite direction of where his wedding was taking place. It was like he was distracted by something. Pippy and Jinx scoped Harmony up onto their ride without revealed her to her groom. The Bride almost let a startled scream but,she was fine. They needed to leave if they were going to make it to the wedding on time. River whistled for his very own critter,a squirrel, to come over to him. Before Jinx prepared their large bug to leave, River climbed up to give Harmony a extra kiss on her cheek.
" Love you. " River said charmingly.
The groom jumped onto his pet's back and slowly rode away not looking back. Harmony waved smiling over the fact that he said that he loved her. Pippy fully uncovered her,like Jinx had done a second ago, and forcefully brought her sister's attention back to her. They didn't have much time to waste.
" Come On! We gotta go before your hair gets ruined by the wind! " Pippy stated worried.
" Do you think he still means it when he says that?" Harmony questioned a little worried.
" When he says loves you? Oh Harmony. How could he not love you? Your so totally lovable! " Pippy said confidently trying to chase away her sister's good feet thoughts.
" Really?"
" He's the lucky one to have you if you ask me. I would consider River crazy if he didn't love you..." Jinx added.
Glow Bugs flew around Harmony singing a melody as a song filled the air. Harmony looked down at the box still in her hands while Jinx warned them about their take off. The Princess's eyes widen with shock realizing that she never gave River his gift. She was wrapped up in that moment that she completely forgot that she had it to begin with.
" WAIT! I need to give this to River now! " Harmony exclaimed.
" But, Harmony- " Jinx tried to reason.
" I'll be right back! Don't worry. We still got until the second hug time left to get there on time. " Harmony insisted determined.
The older Princess jumped off whistling for another critter which rushed over to her without a second thought. Pippy called out to her sister worried about she was about to do. Pip knew that her sister was crazy in love but, this?
" Isn't it bad luck if he sees you? Harmony!" Pippy called out.
" Oh I can't help falling in love with you..." Harmony sang steadily flying away.
Jinx and Pippy shared the same worried expression as they looked at each other. Jinx's bothersome feeling returned but, stronger this time. Their added itself into the melody of the song by singing with the glow bugs still with them but, the delightful song wasn't enough to distract the two silent trolls. Jinx sighed as Pippy returned her gaze back to where the runaway Bride left in.
