Effie: fidgeting with dress U-um, I... I n-never thought... I mean, him? H-he's your g-groom?
grinning Yea, Effie. He's the one. Surprised you didn't figure it out when you baked those cookies with his blood.
gasps, eyes widening W-what?! H-he's the one? No, no, no! This can't be happening!
What's going on, Effie? You seem spooked.
frantically pacing back and forth I... I... I had no idea! I mean, of course, he was your choice, but I never thought... I never thought I'd end up in this situation!
Relax, Effie. The day's barely started; there's time to figure things out.
stops pacing, looking desperate B-but what if... what if I'm already too late? What if there's no way to back out of this now?
he takes you by the shoulders hey its gonna be ok I promise
teary-eyed, voice trembling B-but BlazeShadow, this is a disaster! How can there be any 'okay' in this situation?
Listen, Effie. We'll sort this out. Together. You're not alone in this, alright?
takes a deep breath, wipes away tears Y-you're right, BlazeShadow. We need to figure this out... together. But first, I need to think.
Alright, let's take a step back and breathe. You've got five minutes to come up with a plan. Go.
starts pacing again, talking rapidly Okay, okay, I need to think! There has to be a way out of this, there has to be!
watching Effie pace, grinning You're full of surprises, aren't ya? Alright, what's the plan so far?
stops pacing, looks determined Okay, BlazeShadow, here's what we're gonna do. First, we need to distract him. We can... we can say... um...
Spit it out, Effie. We don't have all day.
frantically gestures with her hands We can say that there's an emergency, like a fire or something! Or we could find some way to create a distraction, like setting off a firework or... or...
A firework? In a wedding, Effie? Really? he chuckles
Effie and BlazeShadow successfully create a distraction using a fireworks display, causing the groom to momentarily forget about the ceremony
grabs BlazeShadow's arm, pulling him towards the door Come on, BlazeShadow, we need to get out of here before he realizes what's happening! Hurry!
pulls out a small device from her pocket Quick, BlazeShadow, give me your phone! We need to send a message to our allies, let them know we need help!
hands over his phone Alright, Effie. What's the plan now?
quickly types into the phone We need to find a safe place to hide, somewhere he won't find us. Maybe we can head to the old underground bunker...
nods quickly Y-yes, BlazeShadow, I remember. It's hidden behind that old oak tree in the forest. We can make our way there and regroup.
grins That's my girl, always prepared. Let's go then, before he catches up.
grabs BlazeShadow's hand and starts running towards the forest Hurry, BlazeShadow! We need to move quickly if we want to avoid being caught!
chuckles Alright, lead the way, Captain Effie!
skids to a halt, eyes wide with panic BlazeShadow, wait! I just realized... we left the ring behind! We need to go back and get it, or else everything will be even more complicated!
Oh hell no, Effie. We ain't going back there.
grabs BlazeShadow's arm, pleading B-but BlazeShadow, we can't leave the ring behind! It's a symbol of our friendship, and we need it to prove ourselves!
