And we're back! The sequel has finally arrived~

That didn't take very long, but I'm not complaining. I had to argue with myself for a while on how I should start it, but I finally thought this would be a wonderful beginning to this lovely story.

Now I'm done rambling. Enjoy, my dears~!

I don't own Kingdom Hearts! But I do own this story!


I was a complete mess. My hair was wild, my outfit wasn't right and the sparkling powder on my face and body didn't suit me at all, no matter what Aerith had said earlier. In this state, I would be a laughing stock among my people, not to mention...him.

"I can't go out like this. I cannot go out there." I breathed. "This isn't right."

"You look perfect, Hayner." Namine said.

Kairi piped in immediately after. "Now will you shut up and quit your ridiculous whining? Seifer would like you in anything. Even a dress."

I gave her a glare, but she was too busy on hemming my pant leg, so I simply huffed and tried to stay still as Namine stepped up behind me, fingering my collar and making sure it was in perfect condition.

"I think we're pretty much done, Kairi."

"Good. I'm almost finished with this."

I bit my lip and focused on myself again, finding flaws throughout all of it. The previous thought from before ran through my head, making me paranoid once more. Kairi hopped to her feet, brandished her needle and thread with the biggest smile on her lovely face.

"Done!" Her eyes went to me. "Now go ahead and turn around and tell me what you really think now."

I didn't want to, but I had to know if I really looked awful. Holding my breath, I did as Kairi had said and faced myself in the mirror, expecting the worst…and was shocked beyond measure.

"Holy…you guys went all out, didn't you?"

"You bet we did." Namine giggled.

"So I take it that you like it?" Kairi smugly asked.

I didn't answer, twisting my body in order to see every angle of me, completely taken in by how phenomenal I truly looked. I was clad in a shimmering brown shirt that had mixes of gold and burgundy, a dark green sash tied at my hips. My pants were a twisted mixture of so many colors, a different color dazzled on them every time I moved. The powder designs were small and simple, but plentiful, surrounding my body and accenting every feature (I will never understand how Aerith can do that).

In short, I looked ever part of a bride.

"OH! Jewelry! I almost forgot." Kairi cried, scurrying about.

I rolled my eyes as she searched through her many jewelry boxes and drawers, pulling out dozens of colorful necklaces and headpieces, ordering Namine to go and find some earrings and hand/feet adornments. In moments, I had to go through thousands of choices, picking certain possibilities and getting their opinion if it were called for. I was satisfied with the end result, which consisted of golden sandal jewelry, three jingling bracelets of varying green detail, a thick necklace of silver and gold and a beaded headpiece that had emeralds, topaz and citrine gems hanging about my face and down my back.

"Ohhh…you look absolutely wonderful." gushed Namine.

I stared at myself, speechless. I had never thought I could look so…breathtaking. I mean, I'm a confident gypsy and I don't look hideous, by all means, but the person I was looking at seemed almost hypnotic.

"I take it your silence is a good thing, then?" Kairi questioned.

"I…I'm at a loss for words."

"Good. That means we did our job." Namine smiled.

A short knock sounded at the door, followed by it bursting open, two familiar faces popping into the carriage. Roxas and Ven both froze at the sight of me as I turned to face them, their mouth dropping open. I smirked and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Well? What do ya think?"

Roxas stepped closer and brushed his fingers against my sash, while his twin was still standing near the door, looking me over in awe.

"You two did your job too well." Roxas commented to Kairi and Namine. "Way too well."

"We try."

Ven jumped and grabbed hold of my hands, excitement written on his face. His contagious smile was so similar to his other brother, Sora, that I couldn't help but return it, despite the butterflies that were rampaging inside me.

"It officially starts in ten minutes. Are you ready?"

"…no." It wasn't a lie.

"Are you, the great Unruly Gypsy, afraid to be in his own wedding?" Roxas teased.

"Say another word and I'll make sure to do the same with you when you and Axel get married." I snapped, which got him to blush and shut his mouth.

Another knock came at the door. "Everyone is ready and waiting for the bride!"

"Alright! We're coming." Roxas replied. "Make sure that the veil is prepared, Olette."

"Got it." she sang back.

While everyone else hustled about around me, I could only stand there and stare at myself in the mirror, thoughts running rampant in my mind. Do I really want to do this? Was it the right choice to walk down that aisle and face the man that had changed my entire life?

A hand touched my shoulder, causing me to snap out of it, my eyes meeting Roxas' in the mirror. He smiled softly and patted my shoulder, chuckling slightly.

"Quit worrying about every single detail, Hayner. This will be perfect. You and Seifer have waited for two and a half years; you two are ready for this."

I gulped, my stomach twisting at hearing those words. It still didn't seem that long ago that we had come face to face and go on that wild adventure together. To me, it felt like it had only been a couple days ago and we were just getting to know one another. And yet, a t the same time, I think I knew everything I could possibly know about the Rebellious Gypsy, from his past to his future dreams.

"Time sure has flown by." I muttered.

"Yep." Roxas walked on past, the bells on his ankles jingling with every step he took. "Now let's go and get the final piece of your outfit on you and get you out there."


I nervously brushed my fingers through my slick hair, Rai and Riku standing off to the side and giving me equally smug expressions. Irritated, I glanced over my shoulder at them and eyed them both.

"Would you two knock it off? I'm nervous enough as it is; your staring doesn't make me feel any better."

"It's interesting seeing you like this. Frankly, I find it funny more than anything else." Riku commented.

"So even great gypsies can get restless and anxious." I glared at Rai, who shrugged in return. "Just stating the obvious, ya know."

I fully looked away from the mirror and faced them, feeling that uncomfortable tinge of embarrassment at their teasing. However, before I could speak my mind and tell them to shove it, someone barged in with no warning, giddy as can be.

"Are you finally re-" Sora's eyes went wide. "Whoa! Seifer, you look great!"

I grinned and gave him a full view of my outfit (courtesy of Namine and Kairi, of course), which had been made with the finest black and blue silk for my shirt and white skinned fur for pants, leaving me barefoot and awaiting the final touches from Sora.

"Well? Come on, finish this up, Sora."

His eyes, which had become riveted on Riku, snapped back to me, his cheeks turning pink at being caught.

"What? Oh, sorry. Yeah, let's do this."

He rushed in and shut the door quickly, going over to rummage in a few drawers before putting on the finishing touches of jewelry and such. Riku and Rai put in their opinion, talking as if I wasn't there and being the one decorated.

"So small earrings?" He held two different ones in each hand. "Should it match the necklaces?"

"…ugh…"

"Don't forget the arm bangle." Rai added, holding out a large gold band with silver contoured across it.

"Good idea."

In a matter of seconds, I was completed ready to enter into my own wedding.

"You look great." Riku smiled.

"I feel like I'm going to be sick." I breathed.

Sora leaned up against me and nudged my side with his elbow. "You and Hayn' are finally going to get married, Seifer! You should be excited!"

A knock came at the door. "Seifer, it's time!"

Those words got my heart racing. I gazed at myself one last time, making sure every little thing was in place, before finally exhaling and going to the carriage door.

"Time for me to get my bride."


And so it shall be! Oh, this is such a lovely start and I loved writing it. The wedding outfits I made up on the spot, though, so I hope they're alright.

Until the next chapter! Whoot!
