The Cotswolds are a range of hills in England famous for their beauty. They are mainly situated in southwestern and west-central England, an area 25 miles across and 90 miles long. More specifically, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, but also extends into Wiltshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, and Somerset, where the city of Bath lies in the Cotswold Edge. The area has been designated as the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Trolls have, historically, probably made homes here; we know that troll specialist Gondoline Oliphant was clubbed to death by trolls in the Cotswolds while she was sketching in 1799.

✧Tanya's mind was a whirlwind of anger, hurt, betrayal, but right at the forefront was the unmistakable fury at both Kas and Echo. Right at that moment, the fury scale was tipped more in Kas' favor than in Echo's so the nerd better be happy that when she came to see him next she would be significantly less angry than she was right now. Who the ******** did he think he was doing?! Dating Echo then just as the two were practically serious and right when he was supposedly confessing his feelings he goes and says he's <******** dying ! Of all the ******** things to admit at a time like that! "I love you!" "Whelp, sucks to suck CUZ I'MA ******** DIE IN A FEW SHORT YEARS" That candy brained, flat-assed, t**t! Mothers that were playing with their children near that saw her stomping by hid their younglings behind them in fear of the dark aura surrounding the dark skinned girl in front of them. Murderous intent might as well as been stamped on her forehead by the way kids were leaping out her path. And she honestly couldn't blame them, she didn't know what she might've done if one of them managed to successfully stall her from her course. Limbs wouldn't have been lost but maybe a broken bone or three. Finally she reached her destination, or rather she reached where she was told her friend might be. He was mainly just siting there staring at nothing as if he didn't have a care in the world and it ******** infuriated her. With an inhuman growl she prowled over towards him and punched him right on his cheek and began yelling at him even as he felt forward. "WHO THE ******** HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU ******** PIECE OF ANDROGYNOUS s**t!" by her first "********" the parents had completely abandoned the streets and practically threw their kids into their home. For the best really. "WHEN!? WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL US? TELL ME?! WHY WOULD YOU JUST...JUST LEAD ECHO ON LIKE THAT WHEN YOU KNEW HIS FEELINGS WERE GROWING?!" by now Tanya was hitting Kas nearly every second or third word before she finally just collapsed on his still body. If she were less emotional and more lucid she would've worried that she accidentally killed him. As it were, her head was laying on his chest as she began sobbing near uncontrollably so she could hear the study rhythm of his heart. "W-w-why didn't you s-say anything sooner!? Dammit Kas...what's wrong? Can it be fixed? Can't...can't you just...you're not dying! I won't allow it, I'm not gonna let you die until your old and can't color coordinate your brights and colors anymore. Y-you're gonna live long enough to see my kid's kids start Hogwarts andand help me tease Echo and braid Elsie's hair whenever she asks, and..you're just supposed to be there dammit!" No more words were said as she just kept crying on her friend and she swore that no matter what the future held that Kas would live to see them graduate and ever after. Even if she had to bring the ******** ghost from the great beyond.✧

✮✯✰ Tanya was still a bit shell-shocked over the surreal turn her life had taken. She woken up today as a girlfriend and fiance and now she'd be going to bed a wife. An actual honest to god she signed the papers in the gorgeous white dress wife. She knew technically nothing had really changed regarding how she and Echo would treat each other wouldn't change (she knew that now after nearly a year of crazy thinking, thanks) and it definitely wouldn't diminish the love she felt for him (especially if he kept wearing that black nail polish like ohmyglobshenearlyswooneddammit) but it was sort of a big deal. Their lives were permanently intertwined, everything they did now involved the both of them and it was a bit overwhelming when she thought about all the decisions they could have to make in the future. But the future could wait until morning, or hell maybe next week, because right now she was sitting beside her husband who was wearing black nail polish like he was born to wear it and being both thankful and pouting that he hadn't thought to wear black eyeliner as well. She was trying not to think of the ways she wanted to tear his fecking hawt as eff suit off of him because dear Merlin there were children around them and she was fairly certain her father could smell sex pheromones like a ruddy bloodhound and she sooooo did not need his knowing look plastered all over his face.
It was bad enough pretty much all her bridesmaids had that look (along with a smidge of smug because they knew exactly what she was thinking) when she had walked down the grassy aisle with both her father and grandfather at her side and practically stopped in her tracks at seeing him there. It probably would've been more embarrassing if she had actually swooned rather than practically tugging the older men with her as she went to stand with Echo with their officiator. Tobi officiating the ceremony had been a spur of the moment thing, mainly because she was still in stitches from his performance at Jer and Gypsy's wedding, but also because she knew he would do a good job. Which he had but it was sort of hard to listen to his semi-serious recitation when she was looking at the man she was willing to spend the rest of her life with. Hell she'd nearly forgotten she had an actual speaking part until Echo had said the first "I do" and placed the ring on her finger.
Tanya's dark hazel eyes still strayed between staring at her husband (lorditwasgoingtotakeforeverforhertogetusedtothatbuthellshehadforeverright?) and at the uniquely different wedding bands they had chosen that she thought matched perfectly with the ring he had surprised her with. Without saying anything she reached over and grabbed his hand in her own and leaned her head on his shoulder breathing in his unique scent. This was the forever she had chosen and dammit she'd chosen right. "Three galleons more adults go home with the bubbles than kids." she told him with a warm smile on her face as she surveyed the reception around them. Kids and adults alike were mingling some in fancy dress but a lot more than she bargained for actually came in costume. And really she wasn't even remotely upset about it, she was the one who put the dress code on the invitations after all. She was still giggling that her brother had actually come dressed as a Jedi and was totally planning a way to steal his lightsaber by the end of the night.
Her eyes scanned the fairy lights strung across the branches and the firefly-like lights sprinkled on the talbes where kids had already broken into the party favors for their candy and zombie blow bubbles. Which she might have spied a few adults break into as well along with actually blowing some of the said bubbles. Her favorite to look at though (besides the husband and the rings keep up) was the wedding cake. Or more specifically the cake topper. She had no rightly idea where Echo had even found such a thing but dear gods and goddess she loved that man. "How many times have I said 'I love you' today? I seem to have lost count."

spaceEcho had to wonder if he was the odd man out in regards to how his wedding day had felt; he knew there were a lot of people who talked about it with a sense of poetry, who said cliche things like "It felt like a dream" and talked about the butterflies in their stomachs and being nervous... He'd felt none of that. Not that he hadn't been happy to be getting married, it just hadn't held that sense of... wonder? the way it seemed to for most people. Probably because, if he were honest, there wasn't anything particularly bewildering about it. He'd known this was coming, for a long time. He was happy, certainly, and he'd definitely felt the awe when Tanya had appeared at the end of the aisle (how could he not? She was the most beautiful bride in history), but there was no sense of 'I can't believe I'm getting married.' He didn't really know why, but the entire thing felt so... matter-of-fact, to him. It'd been a long time coming, and something he'd been ready for since... he didn't know how long. He didn't recall a time where he didn't want to be right here. Where he didn't know that, eventually, he would be. Of course, he was keeping all of that to himself, because he had a feeling that telling his wife 'I'm not feeling that giddy 'I can't believe it' thing everyone else gets' was probably a horrible idea.
spaceStill, lack of bewilderment or not, he still couldn't keep his eyes off of her. Maybe it didn't make much sense, that he felt no awe over the wedding itself because he'd known it was coming, but was still utterly captivated by her even though he saw her every day. But even the most logical of people couldn't evade all the cultural connotations, and that white dress was doing things to his heart that he'd long since forgotten could be done. It wasn't like there was ever a moment he didn't find her beautiful, (Merlin knows he'd seen her sick often enough to know he was ever so slightly biased in that regard), but he'd known her since he was ten. After a while, when you became accustomed to something, it stopped registering as much. He still found her distracting as all hell, but it was easier to direct his focus away from the distraction... Not tonight, though. Tonight, he didn't think he'd notice it if an actual zombie apocalypse broke out around them, not until one of them got too close to her.
spaceHer comment about the bubbles was met with a smirk, and he pointed over towards his sister, who was already having entirely too much fun with one of the bubble wands."I don't normally take bets I know I'm going to lose, but I'm pretty sure giving you three galleons is just sticking said three galleons back into my own bank account,"he joked. To credit Gypsy, she was mostly blowing the bubbles for the benefit of her newborn, likely in an attempt to keep him pleasant and happy and prevent any crying. But he knew her well enough to know that she was also enjoying getting to act like a kid herself. The metamorphmagus was already put out that, being in the wedding party, she hadn't had the ability to come in costume. That hadn't stopped her from showing up with a bright pink fairy in place of Malcolm, though. And he was willing to bet that Jack would've been dressed up as well, but from what Echo'd heard (he hadn't seen much of them, being in the middle of last minute wedding prep), the child was just as much of a terror as his mother had been. He was willing to bet his nephew had protested any attempt to dress him up, heavily.
spaceHer question drew a chuckle from him, and he pursed his lips, head tilting back, a faux-thoughtful expression on his face."Hm, I'd say we're in the triple digits by now. Which is impressive, considering you didn't actually see me for a good 80% of the day. If I didn't know better, I'd think there'd been some big to-do,"he told her, winking teasingly. Then, he leaned over, pressing a kiss to her lips, and whispered,"I love you, too,"the tip of his nose brushing against hers for a second. As he pulled back, he sighed faintly; she smelled amazing, too. What perfume was that? He'd buy her a lifetime supply if she wanted. Then again, given what the combination of the dress, the heels (those damned heels), and the scent was doing to him, maybe it was for the best that he didn't. He was already wondering how long it'd be before they could bail.

I found a little plot of land in the Garden of Eden, It was dirt and dirt is all the same; I tilled it with my two hands. And I called it my very own, there was no one to dispute my claim. You'd be shocked at the state of things: the whole place had just cleared right out- In my garden; start again; in my heart and into every heart but one... Meet me in the Garden of Eden, and be sure to bring a friend! We are gonna have ourselves a time; we are gonna have a garden party.

Elsie was enchanted, mostly because it was the wedding of her two best friends, but also because it was a wedding in a forest. On All Hallows' Eve. She wasn't sure if it could get much more magical than that, and nearly everyone in attendance had a wand. Tanya looked gorgeous, Echo looked handsome, though the sight of him wearing nail polish once again brought back memories of teenage Echo and with that a smile she failed to hide during the ceremony, not that it was especially solemn and severe to begin with. The wedding was practically zombie themed, the wedding topper had made her break into snorts and giggles of laughter and caused Dave to roll his eyes, but smirk a bit, and right now she was blowing bubbles at her boyfriend's face like a ten year old while he tried to bat them away with a borrowed fork.
Her bouquet was sitting on the table next to her, and as much as she wanted to run over, as fast as she could in four inch heels anyways, and coo over the newlyweds, they'd probably prefer a bit of space before they were besieged, even by their maid of honor and best man. Dave popped one of the bubbles she'd sent his way while cackling like a witch (which was accurate), and raised a fist in triumph as she stuck her tongue out at him. "You win this round," Elsie admitted begrudgingly. "But I'll have my revenge."
He raised an eyebrow mockingly and said, "Evil elf queen, aren't we?"
She rolled her eyes while he snickered, but had to admit she'd probably nearly toppled Tanya with the attack hug she'd sprung at her after seeing the dress she'd be wearing as maid of honor. It was regal and lovely and she did feel a bit like an elf queen wearing it, even if just for one night. She was sure she'd find an excuse to wear it again in the future at some point. The blonde sighed happily and looked up and around at the twinkling lights in the trees above their heads, and the moon lurking in the sky overhead. "We'd never be able to top this." Now that she and Dave had reconciled at least some of their differences and were sailing more smoothly, she felt more comfortable even referring to the M word, although she made sure to keep it joking.
Even if sometimes she wondered if she ought to be more serious, seeing as there were Echo and Tanya, exactly where she'd have predicted they'd be now several years ago. And here were her and Dave... well, they did undeniably live together. Baby steps, she reminded herself. Baby steps. She had a tendency to rush into things and he had a tendency to move at the rate of a constipated turtle.
Which was why she stared at him for a good long moment when he easily replied with, "Then we'll just have to elope." Elsie searched his pale face for signs of mirth or sarcasm, but he just shrugged and played with the fork on the table a bit self consciously, as if wondering why she was looking at him like that. She wasn't sure if she wanted to slap him or snog him for a moment, but that was occasionally par the course for their relationship, and seeing as it had been a compromise for both of them since day one, she settled once again.
"Only if I get to wear a white dress and you promise to at least wear a tie."
"I'll wear a button down shirt, no tie." Dave frowned.
"Tie or I'll show up in a Regency era ballgown," she smiled sweetly, showing her teeth, and he blanched.
"Deal."

Tell me, what is meant by sitting alone; the unending amends you made, Are enough for one life; be done, I believe in innocence, little darlin'; start again. I believe in everyone, I believe, regardless of what they've done.
In the morning it comes; Heaven sent a hurricane. Not a trace of the sun, but I don't even run from rain. Beating out of my chest, my heart is holding on to you... From the moment I knew you are the air in my breath; Filling up my love soaked lungs, such a beautifulmess! Intertwined and overrun, nothing better than this- And then the storm can come; you feel just like the sun.

Toby was pretty sure he was the happiest bloke on earth. Yes. He'd said it. Happier than Gypsy's nerdy little brother and his equally nerdy wife, as adorable as they were up there holding hands. Alright, so maybe he was displaying a bit of newlywed pretension. He and Ronna had about about four or so months of marriage on them. Gypsy and Jer, weird as it seemed to him, were going to hit their first anniversary in December. When had they all gotten so old? Old and married? But back to his point about being the happiest bloke on earth. Tally wriggled in his arms a little, and he grinned at her. Right.
He hadn't been sure about how he'd do as a Dad. He'd always figured he'd like to be a dad, because he'd always been pretty good with kids, but Toby knew that wasn't a guarantee of good parenting. Plenty of people thought they wanted kids and then had kids and were immediately overwhelmed. Not that he wasn't overwhelmed, because everything about Tally overwhelmed him, just in a good way. He thought she looked like Ronna more than him, though the little hair she had seemed to be closer to his brown, edging into auburn. Now that she had passed the one month mark it was bit easier to tell.
But he loved Tally more than he thought you could ever love something so tiny, and he somewhat guiltily had to admit to himself that if Ronna were to suggest trying for another kid tonight he'd jump at the chance. It wasn't that he had any schemes to have this huge family; in fact, he thought two would be fine, but he just wanted his daughter to experience having a sibling at some point, whether it very soon or very far in the future. They had plenty of time. He switched the drowsy infant to one arm, smirking again at her lion costume, and glanced at Ronna. "D'you think the bubbles would set her off?"
Good god this girl could screech her little head off. He assumed she got the big mouth from him.

Time: Autumn 2032 Looking: to save the world ------------------------------------------------------------------------xx
Veronica couldn't be happier. She had just recently married and had a child with who she felt was the best father she could ask for. And he also had good taste in baby names. Obviously. How many other guys would let her name their child after comic book characters. Not even obvious ones like Barbra or Gwen or Selina. Not only that but he was great with Tally. He adored her and seemed a bit too delighted that their daughter took very much after her. Like her but with Toby's coloring, minus the freckles. Poor Tally was already getting a faint dusting on her nose, figured one of Ronna's kids would have gotten one of her least favorite traits. She'd just have to teach Tally how to punch bullies.
At the moment Toby was holding Tally, looking very much like a little kid at Christmas. For Tally to have been completely unplanned it seemed that the child fit very neatly into their lives. It made Ronna want another. She didn't want a big family but considering how well she and Toby were managing with Tally, one more didn't seem that challenging, right? Ronna looked away from Echo and Tanya to Toby and Tally. Tapping Tally on her nose she looked over to Toby and smiled as he asked about the bubbles. "Gypsy is tormenting poor Jack with them... it shouldn't hurt, right?"

So maybe she'd gotten a little too into the whole gothy Halloween theme, Jess reflected as she blew bubbles. But she rarely wore black, or black not paired with a blindingly bright color (a fashion tendency she blamed on the influence of Gypsy and Jer during her teen years), so she'd sort of leapt on this as a chance to dress very... witchy. She loved the cut of this dress, even if she was a bit chilly in it, given the time of the year. She could always cast a warming charm- she was just too lazy, and this gave her an excuse to shamelessly cuddle up to her fiance later.
She dipped the bubble wand back into the mix again and blew a bubble or too in the general direction of her twin, his wife, and her niece, though the breeze swept them away before they even got close to reaching them. The brunette smiled just at the glimpse of Tally, and Gypsy and Jer were nearby with Jack, who she'd insist was her nephew until the day she died. Was she jealous? Of course not! Well, maybe a little. She wanted what they had; Toby and Ronna and Tally and Gypsy and Jer and Jack weren't just married couples now; they were families. She wanted to create that.
Not that she'd be over the moon if she found out she was pregnant right now; after one surprise grandchild, she was pretty sure a second in short succession would really push her parents over the edge. Just, it would be nice. After she and Dori were married. Which she was actually getting almost impatient about, in contrast to pre-wedding jitters. She couldn't wait to get through the winter and for spring to arrive. She wanted to jump on the married bandwagon... and the baby bandwagon... but as of right now she was happy to just take in the night and maybe coo over some babies a bit. A lot.

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Nicole couldn't stop chuckling over every little thing. From the wedding cake topper, to the little gift bags on each table containing candies and themed bubbles, to even the costumes being warn on children and adults alike. She was in such a good mood she hadn't even attempted to tell Isaac he couldn't open any of his candy since he was getting a piece of cake, though she hoped he still wouldn't from the combined force of both hers and her husband's knowing and disapproving looks. She had actually thought about trying to talk Gearvin into wearing a costume to the wedding but from the way he had responded to non-traditional wedding theme she figured to save that persuading battle for something a tad more worth it. Though she wonders how he might've looked in a Jon Snow costume. And she will keep those thoughts to herself and only herself.
The mother smiled as she looked over Tanya and Echo as they snuggled up beside one another and her grin widened as she spotted the other young couples with their children and felt a sense of nostalgia for when she was that young with a newborn Tanya in her arms. Then a few years later when she had a tiny Timothy and an exuberant little girl jumping in place wanting to hold her "baby Cookie." And now fast forward a couple years, her little girl was married and on her way to making her own family and her son was only a few months from graduating with lovely friends and a lovelier girlfriend. She sighed softly to herself as she took a sip of the punch finding it positively adorable that there was an eyeball floating in it. She only found it endearing because she had been there when her daughter came barging in waving them like they were the holy grail of disgusting foodstuffs. Nicole had to admit though, they were rather lifelike. She fished it out and popped it into her mouth chewing on the bubblegum; not as good as drooble's but still rather delicious. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

spaceDorian maybe could've gone in costume, but he hadn't been able to think of one that would've passed as wedding appropriate, aside from Ten, and he'd done that for Halloween last year. Besides, he figured his outfit was appropriately Halloween-esque, and it went well with his fiancee's, so it was obviously a good choice. Besides, he found that he rather liked this shirt. Actually, he'd probably wear this shirt constantly, anytime he had to go somewhere in a nice shirt. It wasn't as though he couldn't get away with it; Jess rather liked it, which was a bonus. He liked wearing anything she liked, mostly because he was often rewarded for it with snogging and he would never get enough of snogging her.
spaceThe werewolf lounged back in his chair, staring at her in amusement as she blew bubbles in the direction of her brother and his family."I bet if you went and blew them for Tally, she'd like it,"he remarked. Gypsy and Jer's newest addition certainly seemed to be enjoying his mother blowing them for him. And he'd certainly liked bubbles as a baby. He didn't think there was a baby on Earth who didn't, unless they got them in their eyes. That wasn't so fun, he figured. But even stick in the mud Tyson had liked them, once upon a time. It was one of the few things Dori'd been able to do without his eldest brother throwing a complete fit at him for causing a mess... it'd taken him a while to learn that the residue in blowing bubbles wasn't technically soap.
spaceIn any case, he could tell that Jess was dying to go see the babies; he doubted very highly if it'd matter which one, Jack or Tally, it didn't matter. They were both babies and they were both Her Babies, at least in her mind. He had to admit, he didn't quite feel like he had the ability to lay any claim to them, in spite of being months away from being Tally's uncle. Jack's as well, to be honest, even if there was no actual blood there. He had no doubt that the boy would never realize that Jess wasn't actually his aunt, after all. Gypsy and Jess were thick as thieves, practically sisters. As close as he'd been to his actual brothers, once upon a time. But, that was neither here nor there, and he wasn't about to ruin such a fun wedding (though maybe not as fun as Gypsy's had been) with such morose thoughts.
spaceTo dispel them before they could settle in and ruin his mood, he leaned forward, catching Jess' hand as she pulled the wand from the bottle, blowing before she had a chance and stealing the bubbles. He grinned widely, watching as the breeze caught them and they drifted away."Maybe I should do it, I'm better at this than you,"he teased."But then again, I have the advantage. I can huff, and I can puff-"He couldn't even continue the joke, he dissolved into snickers, coughing a bit as he tried to catch his breath. At least he didn't have to worry about Jess telling him he wasn't half as funny as he thought he was. Usually, she laughed just as hard as he did.

spaceFiona had been sitting alone, wringing her hands together, since the wedding ceremony had ended and they'd moved to the reception area. It hadn't been much of a trek, given that both had been held in the woods near Echo and Tanya's home, but she swore she'd felt herself trip once or twice on the uneven ground, something she hadn't done in years. Maybe it was foolish to blame her present condition, but she couldn't help but think that was the cause. A more logical person might've thought her anxiety over said condition was more likely to blame, but she wasn't a very logical person, even at the best of times, which this certainly was not. It should have been; the children of her two best friends had just gotten married, after all. And her own situation was one that, years ago, she might've assumed would fill her with joy. But, the circumstances being what they were, all she felt was unease.
spaceHuffing indignantly, the Scotswoman stood to make her way over to the parents of the bride; she desperately needed something to distract her from her own thoughts, given that if she was left alone with them, they hovered rather obsessively over her predicament. She'd give anything to have something to take her mind off of it, even for a night. She'd known for a little over two weeks now, and she still couldn't even begin to figure out what she was going to do. The obvious answer being 'Tell Celio, for starters,' but how the hell was she supposed to tell him this? They were barely even together! Their relationship was comprised almost entirely of letter writing! Or, it had been, until September. She'd seen more of him since then, of course, had actively been making time to do so... until two weeks ago, when she'd all but ceased contact.
spaceApproaching Nicole and Gearvin, she plastered an obviously forced (she'd never been good at this sort of thing) smile on her face."Evenin',"she said, hovering near a chair beside her best friend."Min' if I join ye? Bi' bored all by m'self."She blushed faintly, wishing she hadn't said that. They were almost guaranteed to ask why Celio hadn't made it... Reason being, she hadn't quite invited him. She'd mentioned the wedding upcoming, of course, and had obviously intended for him to come, but they'd never quite finalized the plans (he'd been worried about his schedule when they'd spoken of it last) and by the time it'd rolled around, she hadn't been able to bring herself to ask him to come. Now she was torn between overwhelming regret that she hadn't, and an equally overwhelming sense of relief that he wasn't here. It would've been relentlessly awkward, considering the secret she was keeping from him. But, she had better think of a good reason for why he wasn't in attendance, because either Nicole or Gearvin were sure to ask, and she sure as hell wasn't telling them the truth.

Avian was sitting with Gypsy and Jack in his formal dress attire, also he did not expect that there will be costumes in his cousin's wedding. He was sipping a cup of butterbeer as he watched his older cousin blow bubbles to keep the little baby occupied. He could not admit it though, but he found him really cute to begin with. He was, in fact, glad that Gypsy told him that they will pick him up at Hogsmeade for Echo's wedding. Nike was invited too, but she politely said that she had a lot of things on her plate, which was fine since after all maybe Nike was so busy doing Lord-knows-whats in the Slytherin Common Room. Mainly it was probably the sneaky schemes, and lots of studying. Avian thought that he really deserved a break from his butt-ton of homework he just finished lately, and accepting the "kidnapping" to go to a wedding was the best idea! After all, it wasn't like his parents would immediately know, anyway. They were too busy doing something for their living with the grandparents in the manor.
Though unfortunately, he was told by his father via the letter from the Owl Post with something Avian was never prepared, and he didn't like it. He was sure his cousins were so not going to like it, even the spirits of Uncle Kery and Aunt Piper would probably not approve too. Good Lord, he did not want to be betrothed with someone, it was so stupid! Apparently it was dumber to make him marry someone from the Avery family, even if they do have a bad reputation. But then, he was pretty sure his grandparents weren't as updated as they should be when it came to the Wizarding Community so he was no longer surprised. Nevertheless, he still tried to be optimistic in this party and smiled at Gypsy, "Hey Gyp, thanks for having me today. I really like this party, especially the cake."

spaceGypsy had felt supremely odd about this entire day; Echo was her little brother, he shouldn't be old enough to be getting married. She knew that he wasn't really that much younger than her, just under two years, but still, it was weird. And she couldn't decide, looking down at her newborn son, if his very existence was weirder still. Blowing another round of bubbles over the boy, she stared down at him as if utterly confounded. Her brother was married, and she had a baby. Her own wedding hadn't made her so much as blink, nor had adopting Mal. But these two newest developments were apparently more than she could process. For a half-second, Jack's eyes met her own, and she saw his face start to screw up. Hastily, she blew more bubbles, and then reached out with her free hand to tickle the bottoms of his feet. The infant squirmed, and made an expression approaching a smile (as close as a baby so young could get, she figured), some strange garbled cooing escaping him. She sighed in relief, glancing at her husband."Sometimes I think he hates me,"she pouted. And it was true; it did seem like, every single time the boy looked directly at her, he got upset. She'd always assumed it was her hair being too bright, but the few times she'd toned it down, he'd been even more displeased. It'd taken quite a bit of doing to get him calm after he'd seen it's silver-white sheen earlier that day. The metamorphmagus sighed; at least their oldest didn't hate her, right?
spaceShe offered her cousin a tired smile when he thanked her for taking him to the wedding, shrugging nonchalantly."What, we were gonna make you miss it? Gecko'd be so upset. Only reason for you not to make it is your parents, after all, and you know how he is about them keeping you from stuff. Me, too, but, this time it's on him. His wedding and all."She rolled her eyes. Unlike herself and Jer, Echo and Tanya hadn't elected to invite their grandparents, uncle, and aunt. Not that she blamed them in the slightest, but it would've been hilarious to see Echo's new father-in-law's response to their relatives. She had a feeling it'd be just as rewarding as Frida going off on them had been."Your sister doesn't like us much, though, does she?"she asked thoughtfully, a bit irked by the concept. Of the siblings, Nike almost certainly had it worse. She was a girl, after all, and not the heir, and neither of those things boded well for her. But she was the one that seemed totally indoctrinated into their lifestyle, even though she was the one most likely to suffer for it. But, it wasn't like Gypsy could change the girl's mind.

Location: The Cotswolds Forest - Techno Wedding Reception
Leonette was so happy for Echo and Tanya. They were finally married and she hoped that was a sign for what was to come. She wasn’t rushing the two but it would be nice for them get on having some kids. Then their kids could go to school together. It was just something that Leonette thought of from time to time.
Despite the odd theme for the wedding Leonette couldn’t think of a better way to spend her Halloween. It was simply perfect, what with friends getting married and lots of bubbles. Bubbles which Leo was blowing around to keep Christopher occupied. The little devil was already trying to walk or rather speed step away whenever he got the chance. She’d admit her little boy had no fear when it came to falling and it was almost like he was prone to it.
“I think someone loves these bubbles far too much.” Leonette told Christopher as she blew some more bubbles to him. He replied by giggling and trying to grab at the bubbles, popping the ones he could get a hold of. Smiling she looked to David. “They sure know how to make things unique.” She commented before taking a sip of her drink. It was a good time to do so with Christopher distracted on the bubbles. The last thing she needed was for him to try taking her glass. Of course it never worked out for him.
Status:Happy for the both of them. With:David & Christopher
