Wedding Day

(Blaza PoV)

I raced out of my house as the rain died down. The golden desert sun shone through the dark gray clouds, halfway submerged by the horizon. The sky ranged from deep reds to yellow and orange as it sank lower. Looks like the wedding's gonna have to extend through the night.

As I sped through the village, I ran into Meme on his way to the wedding site. He was wearing a... a wedding dress?

I chuckled to myself. Meme and Wicktoria must be switching outfits or something as a joke. And sure enough, Wicktoria was catching up behind Meme, wearing a suit usually worn by the groom. Her dark brown hair hung to her shoulders, streaked randomly with white. I waved at the couple-to-be as I passed, but didn't stop. I needed to help get the wedding set up before the priest arrived.

After finally climbing the tall hill where the wedding would take place, I looked around at the tarp-covered seats set up at the top. The rain kind of soaked a lot of things, and silently thanked that they had thought to cover the seats. No one likes sitting in water when they get into nice clothes after all.

I stepped forward and started to pull the tarps off of the seats. The sprinkle that had been left of the rain had fully cleared at this point, and the autumn-colored horizon looked much like a painting.

"Hey, Blaza!"

I turned around to see Socks walking up the steps, wearing a suit and tie instead of his usual orange spacesuit. Though he still had his helmet and socks - I've never seen him without them.

My heart seemed to skip a beat as his warm brown eyes met mine. I've had a crush on him since forever, but have never gotten the guts to tell him.

I shook my head. No time to worry about that today. This was Meme's and Wicktoria's day.

"Hey, Socks!" I said.

"Need help with that?" He asked. I shrugged, and he came over to help me fold the tarps up after taking them off the seats. Soon all of them were uncovered.

And just in time as well. Everyone else was coming up the stairs as we tossed the folded tarps aside.

First was Muffin. He wasn't dressed too nice (which was understandable, knowing that he was homeless). His brown shirt was torn in a few places, as were his pants. He carried a chair and a wooden hoe with him, for some reason.

No one really understands the things he does.

After Muffin came Joocie and Nadwe walking together. I would expect Nadwe to be walking with his adopted parents, aka the bride and groom of the wedding, but he was probably too excited about this and came ahead. Then Oompa, Oof, and Woolfster arrived. However, Dino was not present. Strange. Usually the two furries arrived places they were both going together, despite supposedly hating each other's guts. Tbh came after all of them.

Finally, Meme, Wicktoria, and Laff, the priest, arrived. I could see Socks trying to sustain a chuckle at Meme wearing a dress. I gotta agree, it is kind of funny.

"What the heck are you wearing, Meme?" Socks chuckled, "I thought the bride was supposed to wear the dress!"

"Hey, we thought it'd be funny," Meme said. Wicktoria mooed amusingly. He certainly pulled off the funny part of it.

"Right, let's get this started before the rain comes back," Laff said, "I saw the forecast, it may return later, so let's get it over with so that we don't have to reschedule."

Everyone nodded, and made their way to their seats.

(3rd PoV)

Shoot, they're starting!

Dino quickly rushed to search for the position he had marked the other day. The darn rain had made the soft sand mushy, so the metal stake he had planted into the ground had fallen somewhere. After some searching, he finally found the stake, which had been knocked over in the soaked sand.

As he got into position, Dino grabbed his sniper from where it was slung on his back. He made sure the scope was sighted in, and finally set it to his target. The furry-saurus waited for a moment, until the bride and groom came into view.

The two got into position. Dino sighted in on the person wearing the suit. It looked like Meme from afar, but as we all know from the actual SMP, it was the bride.

But just as he was about to pull the trigger, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck.

"Gah!" Dino yelped. Out of his surprise, his finger pulled back on the trigger.

A gunshot rang out.

But the bullet missed its intended target. In fact, some would say it missed by a mile.

After a minute or two, Dino finally got the thing that was biting him off of him. He threw the small creature to the ground.

Where a small bat transformed into a tall, black haired man with bright red eyes. A black cloak flowed behind him.

A vampire.

The vampire hissed, and lunged back for Dino's neck. He hit his mark, and the furry fell to the ground. He struggled to find something, anything, that could help. Thankfully, Dino's hand brushed a dead bush. He forcefully yanked it out of the ground and plunged the thin branches into the vampire's chest.

The vampire yowled, and fell limp next to the furry.

Dino breathed heavily as he slowly stood up. He put his hand to the back of his neck, and felt blood seeping from it. He felt lightheaded and dizzy.

Before he passed out on the desert sand.

"FatMemeGod, do you take Wicktoria to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

Meme took a deep breath before saying, "Of course I do!"

Laff chuckled, sensing his enthusiasm. He then turned to Wicktoria, her tail swaying with excitement.

"Wicktoria, do you take FatMemeGod to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Laff questioned.

Wicktoria took one look at Meme, smiled, and simply gave a moo.

"SHE SAID YES!" Meme excitedly translated. Multiple cheers and claps were heard in the small crowd.

But as Laff was about to say the magic words, a loud gunshot rang out.

Someone fell from their position.

Not the bride nor the groom. But someone in the crowd.

"BLAZA!" Socks cried out. His fallen friend, who had been sitting next to him in the front row, was now laying on the ground in a puddle of his own blood. His sunglasses had broken on impact with the ground, and lay in pieces by his head. Socks quickly lifted him up to turn him to where he was facing up. Blood was on his face from where his broken sunglasses had scratched him, and poured from a bullet wound in his chest. Right in the center.

"Blaza, wake up! No, you can't be dead!" Socks said. The others had all gotten up at this point, and were all looking around to see where the bullet came from.

Meme ran over to Blaza and put two fingers near the base of his neck. But it didn't take a doctor to know the state he was in.

Blaza was dead.

—————————

The rest was merely a blur.

A voice. Deep and dark, and sounding like it came from the sky.

Fire. Explosions. The village below was burning.

Laff yelling at everyone to get out of here. Meme ran with Wicktoria, the others following close behind. Socks picked up Blaza's corpse and slung him across his shoulders as he slowly made his way forward, and through the chaos.

One thing of all was certain.

Nothing would ever be the same. Ever again.

I'm sorry I wanted to start this XD

I have most of this already written, but I might redo a few chapters for the sake of... well, redoing a few of the chapters.

RIP Blaza already
