Note: I know the chapter is a little bit short, especially compared to the first two chapters, as well as the fact that nothing much really happens in this chapter. But I would like you all to know that I tried my best with this chapter regardless. This and the next two or possibly three chapters will focus on Konata and Kagami's honeymoon. Hopefully, none of the other chapters will end up being quite this short.

Having just left the reception at the Park Hyatt, Konata and Kagami were inside the limousine on the way to the Four Seasons Chinzan-so Tokyo Hotel which was only about 6.6 kilometers (or 4.1 miles) away from the Park Hyatt. They had asked the driver to go slow so that they would have more time to express their feelings to each other on the momentous event that had occurred earlier that day, and what would go on during their honeymoon.

"I still can't believe everything that's happened in the last few months", Konata exclaimed. "Neither can I, it's amazing how within the space of a few months, we went from dating, which was good enough already, to being happily married", Kagami agreed. "And what makes our experience even more incredible is how our wedding almost never happened at all", Konata added. "Yeah, I know, what with my dad and your dad not wanting us to get married at all at first", Kagami stated.

"And I'm sure you remember that day when we almost jumped off that bridge, because we couldn't take anymore of their fighting", Konata continued. "I'll thank you not to mention that day again. Lucky for us, Mr. Takara came along and talked us out of it", Kagami told her. "Yeah, and even better he knocked some sense into our dads and he got them to stop fighting", Konata explained. "Yeah, and he was the one person who really pulled the strings so that we could get married", Kagami asserted. "Certainly, because same-sex marriage still isn't really legal in Japan", Konata stated. "Exactly the point, luckily for us, they made an exception this one time", Kagami agreed.

At about 9:20 pm, the limousine arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel. After he got out their bags and their wedding gifts and rang for a valet to bring them in, the girls paid the driver a handsome tip of 3,000 yen ($33 USD, or $32.9960 to be exact). "Thank you very much!", the driver called out as he reentered his car and pulled out. "You're welcome!", Konata and Kagami called out to him as he drove away. Two valets then came out pushing one of those huge things you put the suitcases on and said, "Allow us to bring these up to your suite".

"Wait a second. Kagami, what do they mean by suite?", Konata wondered. "Oh I forgot to tell you, Konata. I booked a really nice suite for us. Just wait until you see it", Kagami explained to her. They then paid the valets a tip of 2,500 yen ($27.50 USD or $27.4968 to be exact) each. The valets thanked them and the girls walked inside to check in. "Now be really careful with these things and getting them up", the senior valet explained to his associate. "I know that much, I don't want their money to go to waste", the junior valet answered him back.

Konata and Kagami checked in and got their suite key. "Okay Konata, our suite is on the sixth floor. Just follow me.", Kagami explained to her. "All right Kagami, I'm right behind you", Konata answered. They opened the door to their suite and were immediately blown away by what they saw. "Oh my god! This suite is gorgeous!", Konata sputtered. "I know they said it was a nice suite. But I didn't expect it to be quite this nice", Kagami agreed. "This suite is almost as big as our apartment", Konata claimed. "Yes, it definitely is a big suite", Kagami explained. They had found that their bags and wedding gifts were already placed neatly on the floor. "And look Kagami, our stuff is already up here", Konata noted. "You're right, Konata. They went above and beyond", Kagami added.

So with that, they walked around the 93 square meter (1,000 square foot) suite noting all of the many amenities that it contained. The living area had a loveseat couch, two armchairs and a coffee table with a marble top. The room also had a 42 inch flatscreen TV, a DVD player, and a hi-fi system (CD, MD and tuner) among other things. Glass french doors separated the bedroom from the living area. "Look at the bedroom, Kagamin", Konata called out. "You have a point, Konata. There's a little desk and a dressing area", Kagami noticed. "Not only that", Konata added, "But we also have a walk-in closet and a 32-inch flatscreen TV". "Okay, I'm sold", Kagami claimed, "This suite is amazing! How could it get any better?"

"Oh my god! Look at our bathroom!", Konata exclaimed. Kagami rushed in there and she was astounded. "Wow! All marble!", Kagami sputtered. "The tub here can fit us both", Konata continued, "And there's a shower right here too". Suddenly, they heard a flushing noise. "Oh, the toilet's one of those newer electrical models", Kagami noticed, "And they even have a little TV in here too". "No way! A TV in a bathroom?", Konata wondered. "Gee, they certainly thought of everything, didn't they?", Kagami noted.

With that, Konata and Kagami decided that the time had come to get out of their cumbersome wedding kimonos and into something more comfortable. They put on their new silk one piece negligees and slipped into their king size bed. While they were in their bed, they were reminiscing on when they had first met in junior high. "You know, Kagami", Konata said, "When I first saw you in the 7th grade, I was immediately lovestruck by your beauty". "Thank you, Konata", Kagami told her, blushing, "And I'll admit when I first met you, there was something I liked about your geeky nature. To me, it was kind of cute in a way".

"Well, shucks, thanks", Konata replied, blushing herself, "It's still really amazing how far we've come in the space of a few years". "I know what you mean", Kagami agreed, "In the space of 8 years or so, we've gone from having met each other for the first time to being a lawfully wedded couple". "Hey Kagami", Konata asked, "What time is it anyway". "Believe it or not, Konata", Kagami explained as she looked at the alarm clock, "It's only 10:30 pm".

"Is it really that early? Well, I'm already bushed", Konata replied. "Me too. It's been a long day", Kagami answered back. "We should probably go to sleep now", Konata explained, "We've got a lot of stuff planned for tomorrow". "I'll set the alarm clock for 7:00 am", Kagami replied as she set the alarm clock, "That way we can get up early and do as much as we can". With that, they turned out the lights, and closed their eyes. "Good night, Kagami", Konata whispered. "Good night, Konata", Kagami replied softly. They fell asleep within 10 minutes, holding each other's hands.


The next morning

"GOOD MORNING TOKYO! It's Sunday June 13th 2010, and the time is 7:00 am", the voice on the alarm clock, set on the radio function called out, "Weather for today will be mostly sunny with a high temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit". Kagami pushed down on the stop button, sat up and stretched her arms over her head, clearly feeling well rested. She then brushed her hand lightly through Konata's nearly ankle length blue hair and whispered to her, "Oh Konata, it's time to get up dear". Konata opened her eyes and saw her wife next to her. "Good morning, Kagamin", she said as she sat up and stretched, also feeling well rested. "Well, we have a lot of fun planned for us today", Kagami explained. "You're right we do, so what are we standing around here for? Let's go out and do something!", Konata replied back. With that, they jumped out of the bed and each ran off to get prepared for what would surely be a fun day ahead.
