To Mage's surprise there was a pure sapphire blue dress waiting for her in Sandy's closet. The front of it held silver stars ranging from small and medium sizes, and they went down from the collar and cascaded towards her belly button. The sleeves were of a shall like material and were see through because of the fabric, making the only real sleeves on the dress, similar to tank top sleeves, but it cascaded beautifully and didn't touch the floor, and in the dresser there were sapphire blue shoes flats. After getting dressed she turned to see what Sandy was dressed in, and her eyes went wide as a pleased smile crossed her features.

Sandy was wearing a loose sapphire blue shirt similar to the one she had seen him wear in his dream, the loose sleeves disguising the perfect muscles that hid beneath. It made him looked like relaxed nobility. He also wore navy blue pants, and boots that were a darker shade than the pants. "How do I look?" He asked her as he turned around.

"Like a prince. What about me?"

"Like a queen." He smirked at her, and she blushed at the compliment. Seeing her smile, Sandy moved to the nightstand and grabbed his circlet and her tiara. "We can't forget these. Here, you put mine on me, and I'll put yours on you." Sandy handed her his circlet and smiled at her. "Okay, one, two..."

"Three." They both said together as they placed their proper crowns on their heads.

"That was nice."

"I'm glad you think so, because that is part of the ceremony. I will put your crown on you, and you will put mine on me."

"Right but uh...Sandy, if we're getting married tomorrow...how are we going to get crowns in time?"

"When you went back to sleep, I contacted Cupid. She should have them finished..." Sandy and Mage turned to the window when they heard the whirring of a portal opening. "...minute now..." He finished with a broad smile as Cupid walked through with two boxes.

When Cupid was finally all the way through, wings and all, she took a good look at Sandy and Mage, and honestly felt a twinge of jealousy for Mage, but her heart was so good and kind when she observed it, it was hard to be mad at her, and besides, they were literally perfect for each other. 'Oh my...Sandy looks like such a prince!' She thought to herself as she walked towards them with both boxes. "The two of you look very majestic!" Cupid told them truthfully. "I've brought what you asked for Prince Sandy, and I also told Mother Nature of your request, and she was overjoyed with it. She'll be here sometime later today. I have also taken it upon myself to explain to the Guardians and Pitch that you were getting married tomorrow, but when I mentioned you, Pitch seemed...I don't know..."

"Scarred for life?" Sandy snickered.

"Yeah, actually." Cupid said as she felt a smirk grow on her lips while her brow furrowed. "What happened?"

"Well, apparently while I was asleep...Pitch decided to come in while the both of us were still naked under the covers." For some reason, Sandy felt immense pride and satisfaction that Mage wasn't ashamed to put it so bluntly to Cupid of all people. He also crossed his arms as a smug grin appeared on his face at Cupid's reaction.

Cupid's jaw dropped almost completely and her wings stopped flying or moving for that matter and she stood in front of them in disbelief. "The two of you...had sex last night?"

"Yes." Sandy confirmed with a proud smile.

"Well, it was more of making love than just having sex." Mage corrected, and her words sent a joyful warmth into Sandy's heart.

"You...wow! That was quick."

"Yeah, but that's okay." Mage told her. "So, mama Cupid...Sandy says you made us crowns?"

"Oh! I like you! I like you very much! You are my new favorite spirit!" Cupid squealed as she heard the only spirit to ever call her Mama Cupid, call her it again even after the festival. "And yes, I do. Prince Sandy gave me very specific details, and with my magic, along with my men's magic, it wasn't difficult to make either of them in the time frame." She walked over to the bed and set the boxes down. This one is yours, Princess Mage." She told her as she pulled out a silver circlet that held a sapphire gem in the middle of it, and had three curves weaving in and out of each other coming from the jewel and out to the side until it completed the half circle crown, and they had intricate etchings of stars and crescent moons.

"Wow! This is beautiful!"

"Let's see how it looks." Sandy said as he took off Mage's tiara, and then carefully placed the crown that Cupid brought on her head. He stepped back to look at her, and his heart nearly stopped, and his breath was caught in his throat.

"Sandy? Are you alright?" Mage questioned in concern.

Sandy swallowed a lump in his throat as he slowly knelt down to one knee, causing Cupid to gasp in shock, and he bowed his head. "I will never know true beauty in this or any world unless I look upon you, my queen to be. You look magnificent, and I feel blessed and honored to call you mine. You shine far brighter than any star, and if I could, I would have even the stars bow before you."

Cupid actually did swoon and had to prop herself up on the beds frame. "You have quite the man there, Princess Mage."

Mage nodded her head at Cupid before placing a hand on Sandy, urging him to stand. When he stood up, his eyes were still wide, but instead of dropped jaw, his lips curled up into an overjoyed smile. "You are truly magnificent, my love."

"Thank you, Sandy." She gave him a quick kiss before peering into Sandy's box. "This one's your's, then." She stated as she took the crown out of the box. She looked at it and noticed it was similar to her's but broader, and instead of just curves overlapping each other it seemed to be branches connecting the curves that overlapped each other, and his crown also held a sapphire jewel in the middle but it also held two more at the left and right side of the large sapphire. The jewels on the left and right were diamonds, and instead of a half circle like her's, his went all the way around. She took it to Sandy and carefully took off the circlet he was wearing, and placed the new crown on his head. She stepped back to look at him, and both her and Cupid gasped.

"What? Does it look that bad? It didn't look that great on my father but..."

"No...you look incredible. You honestly look like a king." Mage told him honestly, meanwhile, Cupid was flabbergasted by his most recent words.

"Wait, wait, wait...you mean to tell me...these are the same crowns your mother and father wore, and that you've remembered their detail for millions of years?"

"Yeah, pretty much. These are the crowns that belong to the Lord High General of the Galaxies and his wife, but no one recognizes a Lord High General of the Galaxies anymore. The only ones who would truly recognize it would be Pitch, Mother Nature, the Man in the Moon, and...Bunny." He sighed out Bunny's name.

"What's wrong with Bunny?"

"Well..." Sandy walked over to the stand up mirror and let out another sigh. "That's what I thought."

"What?" Both Cupid and Mage asked with concern.

"Well...about a year before I left, father wanted to see how his crown looked on me...and we looked exactly alike. It was almost creepy. The problem with this is...Bunny once fought along side my father. I don't think he remembers that because it's been so long, and he didn't say anything too surprising when he saw me in this form the first time...so I don't know how he'll react."

"Well, that's simple..." Mage said as she immediately left the room.

About fifteen minutes later Bunny could be heard on the other side of the door and Sandy hadn't taken the crown off yet. "What is the point of blind foldin' me, Princess?"

"Because it's a surprise...sort of." She told him as she opened the door and closed it behind him. "Alright...you can take the blind fold off now...just remember...you said you would be calm."

"Calm about wha-" Whatever Bunny was going to say completely died in his throat when he took the blind fold off and looked at Sandy. His eyes were widened in shock, and the blind fold slipped from his fingers as his jaw and his arms dropped.

"Bunny?" Sandy asked carefully, but got no response so he stepped forward, Bunny didn't move. He just continued to stare at Sandy. "Aster?" He tried with his real name, and that seemed to get Bunny's attention because he blinked several times before staggering back against the wall.

"Y-You...You c-can't be...you...you're d-dead..."

"Aster...it's me...Sandy. Remember?" Sandy questioned as he conjured a sand image of his shorter self.

"S-Sandy?" Bunny questioned as he came forward from the wall a bit. Sandy nodded and changed the dream sand into a bunny and made it hop around just a bit before retreating back into him. "You...you're really Sandy..." Another nod and Bunny ran both paws against his ears. "Stars in heaven, Sandy. You look just like him!"

"It's the crown..."

"Yeah...I can tell that now. I nearly had a heart attack. My heart actually stopped! I couldn't breathe, mate. I thought Mage had somehow found a ghost...speaking of which...where did you get his crown and..." Bunny turned to face Mage, and found himself kneeling with his head bowed.

"B-Bunny?" Mage stuttered out, and looked to Sandy for help, but he was at a loss for it as well.

"I...I didn't see ya, cause ya snuck up behind me...Princess Mage...you look every bit as regal and noble as the first Lady Pitchiner. You actually resemble her in some ways when you're wearin' that outfit, and especially with the crown. I...when I was just a kit, I met her...the first Lady Pitchiner and she was kind, sweet, noble, gentle, funny, lovable, wild, and mischievous. She was a lot like you...and I...I can't help it. Pitch was right...you are the epitome of royalty."

"Bunny...please stand." Mage requested.

Bunny did as he asked and looked at her. "I'm sorry, Princess...for reactin' that way."

"No, it's okay...I'm sorry if my appearance upset you."

Bunny blinked once and then twice. "You really are like her."

"Wait!" Sandy shouted, shaking his head. "When you were a kit...which is a baby Pooka yeah?"

"Well...it's a kid Pooka, but yeah..."

"That's when you met the first Lady Pitchiner?"

"Yeah...?"

"Bunny...do you have any idea how long my family line is?"

"Reckon I do considering I went with my Da to the ultimate grand council meeting to discuss who would be Lord High General, and then Pitchiner came up."

"Bunny...that was over ten billion years ago!"

"And your point is?"

"How old are you!? That's what I want to know! I had told Mage to try and guess our ages, and she guessed that no one knew your age, but she tried to say that I was three billion years old and I nearly died laughing! How old are you!?" Everyone in the room could tell Sandy wasn't angry, just more shocked than anything.

"You really want to know?"

"I wouldn't have asked otherwise."

Bunny scratched the back of his head nervously as he looked to the floor. "Can't really say no to ya when you're wearin' that crown of yours...well um...I am ten billion...five hundred and sixty-three million...four hundred and thirty thousand...two hundred and twenty-two years old."

"Starshine, Bunny! You're ancient!"

"Nah, really?" Bunny chuckled out fondly. "I hadn't noticed!" He laughed out. Once he calmed his laughing though, he let out a heavy sigh. "When I was old enough, I was allowed into the Pitchiner palace, and there, I met Lord and Lady Pitchiner. They treated me like family, and asked me to protect their family for as long as I could...but then Pitch Black happened...and I couldn't...I failed..."

"No you didn't." Sandy chuckled out as he placed a hand on Bunny's shoulder. "I'm alive and so is Pitch, and Pitch is on the side of good now, and if you won't keep your promise with Pitch...would you at the very least keep it with me and protect my family?"

"Y-Your family!?" Bunny immediately looked at Mage and then darted his gaze to Sandy. "Is she..."

"What? No! She's not pregnant...not yet anyway..." The last sentence made Bunny and Cupid gasp in shock, but made Mage smile. She had always wanted a family of her own someday. "Anyway...no...my family that exists now, which is you and the other Guardians, and my family to come in the future...will you protect them like you promised the first Lord and Lady Pitchiner?"

"I...wait...the way you're talkin'...and the crowns...mate...I know for a fact you could've had Cupid make any kind of crown...you got your's and her's accurate down to the etchin's...are you?"

"I am...I decided it this morning."

"You are what?" Cupid and Mage asked at the same time, feeling a bit lost.

"I'm taking back the name Pitchiner. I told Manny about it and he said it was fine, and that he was happy for me, and proud of me. He told me that everyone would still probably call me Sandy or Sandman so it was really up to me...so I decided. I will no longer be Sanderson Mansnoozie. I will return to being Sanderson Ezekiel Pitchiner."

"You know what that means right?"

"Yes, I know. It means I will be reclaiming my full title as First Prince, and then when I marry Mage tomorrow...to the spirit world I will be King Sandy...but to you, Mother Nature, Pitch, and Manny..."

"You would be Lord High General of the Galaxies...by birthright, and Mage would be your queen basically...and she would be the new Lady Pitchiner."

"M-May I ask w-why that's a big deal?" Cupid asked, feeling awe, dumbfounded, excited, and confused all at the same time.

"Because...Lord High General of the Galaxies and the name Lady Pitchiner were just titles to appease the more violent planets and there were only four, but that was four too many. Everyone else knew what the titles really were."

"And what were they?" Mage asked curiously.

"King and Queen of the universe." Sandy answered shyly.

"I-I'm...marrying the first born prince...of the universe?"

"Is that a bad thing?" Sandy questioned with a hint of worry in his voice.

"No! Are you kidding me!? This is amazing and wonderful!"

"Truly?" Sandy asked with so much hope it nearly made Bunny stagger back.

"YES! This is so exciting! I'm sure I'll learn more, but I'm prepared to learn as long as I learn it with you."

"Thank you..." Sandy sighed out in relief. Then, he looked to Cupid who's butt was firmly panted on the floor. "Cupid?"

"Mama Cupid?" Mage asked and got Cupid's attention.

"I-I'm fine darling...I...Oh! I probably shouldn't call you that, I mean you'll be queen of..." Before she could finish her sentence Mage smiled and swooped down to the floor and gave her a tight hug. "Princess Mage?"

"Don't apologize for calling me darling or anything else. I want you to be you, always. You're unique, and deserve to stay that way. I didn't get that chance when I was human, and refuse to allow anyone feel like they have to be something they're not. Please be yourself, Mama Cupid." Cupid had a steady stream of tears fall as she silently wrapped her wings around Mage, which then earned shocked gasps from Bunny and Sandy. Mage turned her head to face them, and noticed their expressions. "What's wrong?"

"This...this is how some birds show their love and protection..."

"But why...?"

"Because...I don't know what it is about you...but when you called me Mama Cupid...I felt like I gained a daughter. Princess Mage...I had been Cupid for nearly a million years...and not once had someone called me Mama Cupid, and for most of that time, my name wasn't even Cupid...I can't remember it...but still...in all that time...no one called me Mama Cupid no matter how many times I referenced myself with that name or asked people to call me that...and then you say it so easily...and after everything I learned...and then you tell me to be myself...I've always been known to be the overbearing spirit...no one's ever asked me...or let me be myself..."

"Well, now you can...Mama Cupid."

"Thank you, darling." Cupid said as the wings briefly wrapped tighter around her before relaxing behind her back. "Now...we have a wedding to plan! You'll need to put your crowns back in their boxes..."

"Alright..." Sandy and Mage agreed and placed them back in the box like she asked, and couldn't wait for tomorrow.

oOoOoOoOoOo

At the wedding, Sandy had Pitch as his best man. He had asked him after putting the crowns away, and although he was completely stunned at Sandy's request, he happily accepted. Bunny gave Mother Nature and Pitch the warning of who Sandy would look like and they understood.

Mage's Made of honor was Cupid, who squealed in delight at the offer, and North was now behind his office doors with Mage who was dressed in the same white dress that she wore to the festival. It was Cupid's idea. "You look beautiful, Mage." North told her as he felt a single tear fall from his eyes.

"Awe! Don't cry North! Come on...I know we see each other like father and daughter, but..."

"But...I am happy." He told her with a wide smile. "I never thought I would have children, especially at this extremely old age. I am happy, Mage, and I am proud of you."

"Thanks North." She told him as she made a sand cloud so she could float up and hug him.

A knock on the door from Phil was the signal and with the elves playing on their trumpets, North walked her down their version of an aisle as they made their way to the Guardian symbol. When they got there, and Sandy turned around, Sandy's eyes widened and gentle tears fell from his eyes as a smile spread on his face. After North completely led her up to the 'altar' which was really the very spot the Guardian symbol rested on, he went to his place, and Mother Nature started the ceremony. She spoke of how it was good that people were brought together and that they were fortunate to have Guardians such as Mage and Sandy. Then, it came time for the vows. "Alright...Prince Sanderson, you may go first. Remember, every word you say will be bound by truth. If you say you are someone, you are that person from here on out. You requested that of me."

"I know...thank you." He told her with a grateful smile.

"Very well...if you're sure...you may say your vows."

"I, Sanderson Ezekiel Pitchiner, rightful first born son and heir to Zakaro and Elena Pitchiner, the Lord and Lady High Generals of the Galaxies, reclaim my rightful place at the throne." A bright glow shined on Sandy and Pitch was stunned speechless. Once the glow diminished Sandy could feel all of the power he had before he left and was disowned, and he felt his current powers and magic mix with it well. "Now that that is done...I, Sanderson Ezekiel Pitchiner, vow to take Magerina..." Sandy eyed North for a careful second, knowing that North was his last name and turned back to Mage with a smile. "...North..." At that he heard a slight choked sob from North. 'The man's a crier...honestly.' Sandy chuckled in his mind as he continued. "...as my wife and queen. I vow to love her, cherish her, protect her, and I vow to defend her hopes, wishes, and dreams. I vow to dry all of her tears. I vow to make sure she knows more good memories than bad. I vow that she will always know joy. I vow...that I will love her until my dying breath." Sandy then took Mage's tiara off her head, and replaced it with the crown he had Cupid make, and he gently placed it on her head.

With a full heart and an overjoyed smile, Mage began her vows. "I, Princess Magerina North, spirit and Guardian of Imagination, vow to take Sanderson Ezekiel Pitchiner as my husband and King. I vow to love him, cherish him, protect him, and vow to defend his hopes, wishes, and dreams. I vow to dry all of his tears. I vow to make sure he knows more good memories than bad. I vow that he will always know joy. I vow...that I will love him until my dying breath." She took off Sandy's current circlet and replaced it with the crown Cupid made and placed it on his head, quickly earning a gasp from Pitch, but they continued anyway.

"You have claimed your names, your titles, and you have said your vows. You may now kiss the bride." Mother Nature stated joyfully

Sandy wasted no time in pulling her in for a deep kiss, and only they felt the new surge of power that rushed through their veins like a waterfall, because that's what happened when the King and Queen of the universe kissed. When breathing was needed, they separated and heard the cheers from every living creature in the room. Sandy took her hands into his and looked her in the eyes. "We're on this journey together for eternity now, my love."

"For the dancing and the dreaming?" Mage asked him with a small smirk.

"For the dancing and the dreaming."

THE END
