Date: 12/12/24
In the quiet grove where stars wept light into the treetops and shadows danced with moonbeams, a most unusual wedding took place — that of Raven, the telekinetic empath from another realm, and Groot, the ever-growing guardian of the forest. The date was no accident. 12/12/24. A mirrored number, a cosmic palindrome of love: two souls, two journeys, becoming one in a year that doubled their bond.
12 – the number of universal harmony, repeated twice to signify twin destinies.
24 – their unity squared, each of them a half of a larger wholeness, merging into one eternal cycle.
The Beginning of Their Love
Raven had wandered into Groot’s forest during one of her darkest soul-searching nights, drawn by the stillness she could feel across dimensions. Groot, ever silent to most, found his ancient bark humming a song only she could hear.
He whispered without words.
She felt without touch.
And somehow, love bloomed between bark and shadow, between root and wing.
The Proposal
Under the twin moons of Xandar Prime — where they once fought side-by-side — Groot extended a ring made from living silverleaf, woven with glowing fungi that shimmered with her chakra colors. Raven, eyes alight with emotion rarely seen, smiled and whispered, “Yes. I am whole with you.”
The Wedding Day: 12/12/24
The forest glowed with a strange magic on that morning. The sun filtered through the trees at exactly 12:12 p.m., casting twelve rays across the glade. Guests from across galaxies — Starfire, Rocket Raccoon, Beast Boy, even Dr. Strange (officiating) — gathered beneath the entwined arch of two ancient trees, now grown together by Groot himself.
As the clock struck 12:12 on 12/12/24, Raven walked through a shimmering portal shaped like the infinity symbol — created by her magic and Groot’s bio-luminescence. The union of their powers created an eternal loop, a symbol of timeless love. The numbers became a spell:
- 12 + 12 = 24, the day they wed.
- 2 + 4 = 6, the number of harmony, love, and cosmic balance.
- Together, their marriage vibrated on the frequency of the universe itself.
The Vows
Raven: “You are my grounding, my root. In you, I find calm. With you, I rise.”
Groot: “I am Groot.”
(Translated by Rocket: “And you are my sky, Raven. You gave my silence voice. I grow for you.”)
The Twist: The Eternal Seed
As the ceremony ended, Groot offered Raven a single glowing seed. With her hands, she infused it with empathy and light. When planted, the seed grew instantly into a Tree of Twelve — bearing twelve glowing fruits, each one set to ripen every 12 years.
Legend says that those who eat one fruit will know true love within 12 days. It became a sacred site for lovers across time.
And so, on 12/12/24, not only were two beings married — but a new legend of love was born, echoing in numbers, in stars, and in every whispered “I am Groot” that now meant “I love you.”
Here lies the everlasting time capsule of Scott & Yarrow West.
