Idek how long this is gonna be

Jeremy had just gotten in his wedding tunic and sighed...he didn't like it. He didn't like this...concept...of marrying somebody so cruel...even if to save his friends, family, and people.

Sal was combing his hair and noticed the distant look on his face.

"Are you okay Prince? Ya look sad."

"It's nothing...." Jeremy whispered, voice cracking a bit as tears escaped his eyes slowly.

"No it's something you're crying." Sal wiped away the tears and turned Jeremy around in the spinny chair. "Tell me what's wrong. I promise I won't try and tell Squip... he'll just get mad at me..."

"I-I don't wanna marry him...I don't wanna be marrying him...I only said yes so he would leave my family alone...." Jeremy cried gently and Sal pulled a tissue out of his pocket and handed it to him. "Thank you..."

"If it makes you feel better, I think the tunic looks really nice on you. It suits you."

"T-Thanks..." Jeremy tried smiling but it was still broken.

Meanwhile, Squip was pacing his room by himself. He knew Michael was coming...he knew he could finally get rid of him...but he felt his heart seemingly rip at something and he didn't know what...until he spotted the photo on his desk.

He picked it up and held it in his hands, sighing.

"They'll learn to live with your mistakes...may they never remember what you did to get here.. " He placed it face down on the desk and went to his mirror, readjusting his tie and suit. "And...maybe if you make up for this mistakes...you can win Jeremy...maybe for once you can win..."

He let out a heavy breath and smiled, his cheeks turning red at the thought of winning...while he was a jerk to the prince...he did love him...he just couldn't show it...and he'd never be able to...not until this wedding was over...then he would be...then he could finally answer Shane's question...what happened to him...?

***

Michael stared up at the mountains and began climbing them. He'd be to Jeremy soon, he'd be there for his prince soon...he'd save him... he wiped his eyes, ignoring the guilt eating him alive and continuing forward.

He was so close...that's when he spotted a very familiar purple airship far in the distance...Keira...Christine could handle it he was sure...in fact she probably was dealing with it right now... he had to focus on Jeremy.

He let his legs speed up and he began running up the mountains. He had to hurry...he had to make it...he had to...

***

"Just...try to act brave. I promise you it'll work." Sal had been trying to console Jeremy and it was working. The prince wasn't crying anymore...but he was still upset.

"Thanks Sal...you're right, I've gotta be brave...for him...for Michael..." Jeremy picked his crown up and placed it on his head. "I've gotta keep them safe... a ruler always puts his people before himself..."

Jeremy began to leave but turned back real quick.

"Oh and Sal, I love the tunic, it's beautiful." Sal smiled at the comment as Jeremy strode out of the room...there went a brave prince.

(Small skip to like half an hour later, same location)

The door opened yet again to Jeremy's room and he turned to see Squip in a white suit, decorated with a blue bow and a thin silver crown.

"Jeremy." He spoke softer than he had earlier, catching the Prince's full attention. "I'm sorry about the collar..." He came over and removed the shock collar, throwing it to the floor. "Come on...we have a wedding that's calling us." Jeremy stared in full shock a how Squip was acting...be was being nice.

He could be nice!? Jeremy had so many questions, and was ignoring the fact he was being dragged to his nightmare wedding.

He was left at the end of the isle, the doors at the ending...and Squip went ahead and went in.

Jeremy was fully taking in this situation and realized this was reality. This wasn't the nightmare he'd had before. This was real...he was about to marry Squip...he sighed as he heard the bells begin to toll.

It was time.

He opened the doors and slowly walked up the isle, the only thoughts he was having being thoughts telling him to be brave. He had to be brave...he had to be brave...for Rich, Jake, Christine...and for Michael...the love of his life, his hero...especially for him...

***

Michael had made it. He was running towards the castle as fast as he could on his exhausted feet, hearing chiming bells in the distance...oh no...that only meant Squip was trying to...he had to hurry.

He forgot all about pacing himself and booked it up the castle's long stairs. He could feel Jeremy's pain from where he was it seemed. He was gonna make it... he was gonna make it... he would make it...Jeremy would be okay...

Michael stopped when he seen a ship overhead, Keira's ship... she must have been retreating. He knew Christine could handle her.

***

Jeremy now stood in front of Squip, looking down at his feet, the ever growing lump in his throat continuing to grow...this was it...this was everything...he was giving everything he loved a second chance...when the doors busted open.

"Let him go Squip." Jeremy's heart raced as he seen Michael standing there, body cut up from how many different landscapes he'd travelled.

"M-Michael!!" Jeremy couldn't help but run over to Michael and Michael picked him up and spun him around happily, and Squip stared at them in pure anger.

"You...We made a deal!" He yelled and Jeremy turned around in fear, tears rising in his eyes as he held Michael tighter. "I... I was considering sparing them! I hope you know that, because now I'm not having second thoughts." Squip pulled out a remote and pointed it at Michael. "I'm going to get rid of you...once and for all."

He sent the beam directly at Michael, but Jeremy pushed him to the ground quickly and felt his body stiffening and freezing.

"Jeremy?" Michael sat up and froze when he realized what had happened...

Jeremy was in front of him, a frozen, lifeless statue made completely out of stone...
