Kind of quick, I know, talk about how anxious I was. *wink wink*

Gideon woke up to Wyatt shaking him at 10:30 A.M. the next Saturday. "Go away!" Gideon groaned as he rolled onto his side.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Wyatt said, "I only wanted to wake you up for your wedding in four hours."

Gideon bolted upright and said, "Oh my god! I completely forgot."

Gideon jumped out of his bed and flew into the bathroom, (Not literally) and jumped into the bathtub, turning the water on as hot as possible. He quickly washed, scrubbing his scales clean, his scales steaming from the hot water.

When he got out of the shower he quickly towel dried then opened the door and sneaked upstairs, opening the door enough to push his muzzle through and shouted, "Where's my tux?"

"On the other side of your door!" Carol yelled, "Better hurry! We have to leave in twenty minutes."

Gideon almost yelped as he grabbed the tux from the other side of the door and rushed downstairs, flipping the overhead light switch so he could see himself in the mirror better. He bent all his scales out of position and used cotton swabs to clean the dirt out from under his scales. He bent his scales back into position and started to rub at his scales with scale polish.

He put his tux on, spreading it out so that it was completely straight, no wrinkles at all. He walked up the stairs quickly and opened the door just as Carol was about to knock. She blinked and then said, "Good, you're ready. Let's go."

Gideon looked and saw Wyatt and grinned at how uncomfortable he looked in the tux. "It's so warm!" He complained as they climbed in the car.

"You'll be happy for it after hours outside in the cold weather." Gideon said, grinning.

"He's right Wyatt," Carol said from the front seat.

"Yeah," Ron said, "It may be uncomfortable as hell but it'll keep you warm when it matters the most."

Wyatt groaned and Gideon said, "Hey, Dylan will be wearing one too."

Wyatt grinned and said, "I get to see my wolf in a tux!"

Gideon laughed and said, "So do I."

Raymond woke up too Dylan shaking him at 12:30 P.M. "Wake up sleepy head," Dylan whispered into his ear, "you're wedding is in an hour."

Raymond groaned as he sat up and said, "Alright, thanks for waking me."

"Oh, I'm not just here to wake you up," Dylan said, "I'm here to make sure you get cleaned up as fast as possible."

Dylan ushered Raymond into the bathroom and stripped him down and then got him soaked and then scrubbed at him. "I can wash myself you know," Raymond said, blushing fiercely as the thirteen year old scrubbed his body.

"I know," Dylan said as he scrubbed at a particularly dirty spot on Raymond's fur, "but Liz said you would take too long, so she told me to do it for you."

Raymond sighed and said, "Fine, whatever, just hurry up."

Dylan laughed and rinsed him off and then started drying him off. When he was nice and dry it was 1:00 and Dylan was pulling all the parts of Raymond's tuxedo onto him, smoothing them out and smiling as he started to comb Raymond's fur.

When he was finished Raymond grinned and twirled in front of him and said, "How do I look?"

"Absolutely hot." Dylan said, grinning.

"Good," Raymond said, smiling.

"Well," Dylan said, "better hurry, ceremony is starting soon."

Raymond smiled and kissed Dylan on the cheek, "Thanks for your help."

Dylan smiled and said, "No problem."

Lizzy was in the doorway suddenly and she smiled at Raymond. "Come on Ray, time for the ceremony."

Raymond grinned, his heart pounding nervously. "Let's go."

Gideon looked around at the area in his Aunt's back yard that had been prepared for the wedding. They had hired someone to make a temporary dance floor, that was decorated with paper lanterns for when it got night and everything looked very nice. The area for the ceremony was packed with people who were being seated slowly by ushers.

Wyatt was behind him massaging his back to help relax him. He had ignored Gideon's attempts to get him to go find Dylan, eager to help his older brother relax before his big day. Gideon could see Horen seating people, along with Dylan and Jack. His mother stood next to him, tears flowing down her cheeks.

"You alright mom?" he whispered to her quietly.

She sniffed and said, "Of course I am honey. But my baby boy is getting married."

Gideon rubbed his mom's shoulder and said, "You still have Wyatt and Horen."

She smiled and said, "Yes, I do have them."

The music started playing as the last guests took their seats and Gideon took his mother's arm and smiled at her and they started walking down the aisle. Gideon's heart started to pound more and more nervously as they drew closer to the front.

When they made it to the front Carol walked to the side and Gideon stood up and turned to face Raymond, looking into his eyes and smiling widely. Raymond returned the smile as the preacher started talking.

Gideon couldn't hear the words the man spoke. He was lost in Raymond's eyes, and it seemed like Raymond was lost in his. They were obsessed with each other, as if seeing each other in a new light now that they were moments away from being bound forever.

Gideon's scales glinted in the sunlight, the scale polish making his scales shine almost as much as the sun itself did in the sky, reflecting blood red light onto Raymond's fur. It was a beautiful sight. Suddenly the words sprang into Gideon's mind. "Do you, Gideon Restin, take Raymond Zasturfinztin, as your lawfully wedded husband."

"I do." Gideon said, without hesitation, his voice ringing out in the large space.

"And do you, Raymond Zasturfinztin, take Gideon Restin, as your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do." Raymond said, smiling as he did so.

"I know pronounce you man and husband." The preacher said. "You may now kiss the bri... uh... husband." The preacher blushed as Gideon and Raymond leaned their heads together.

When their lips were a centimeter apart white flared in Gideon's vision and he sat up, rubbing his head and groaning slightly. He looked around the room and wondered where he was. He moved to stretch his wings and realized suddenly that he didn't have them. He looked around frantically and realized he was in a hospital.

He looked into a mirror and what he saw shocked him. He looked like he had when he was twelve. He looked at a calendar and gaped at it. It said it was the summer right before he went into seventh grade! And it all came back to him.

The car ride, the crash, the hitting his head hard on the street. He was just a scrawny, gay, twelve year old dragon. His mother came into the room and her eyes widened before she jumped at him, hugging him tightly and crying, clutching at the back of his head. "Oh god you're awake. You're finally awake."

Gideon cried too, but for a completely different reason.

ALright, rushed, I know, don't really care though. My ultimate twist. Loving it? Probably not. Tell me what you think.

*Sits back and waits for the angry mobs.*
