Okay, so here is the third installment! I guess it's the final chapter. I really wasn't going to start a new story right in the middle of writing This is How We Meet, so I'm just gonna end it here.

Thanks for reading!!

Seiya waited impatiently on the roof for Serena. The rain had stopped now, and he ventured from the shelter to get a better look at the chapel across the street. His stomach twisted nervously. A part of him wished Serena would have let him go with her to talk to Darien, but she had confidently told him that this was something she had to do alone. He knew she was right, but he worried that once she left…she wouldn't come back.

Seiya sighed. He prayed his Odango would return to him…

"I knew it." I voice sighed.

Seiya whipped himself around and then gave an awkward smile at his rooftop companion. Mina stood with her arms crossed, giving Seiya an amused smile.

"Guilty as charged," Seiya laughed, raising his hands up in the air.

"I had a feeling all day!" Mina laughed and ran to him. She gave him a quick hug. "The Goddess of Love is never wrong! I knew you would come back."

Seiya didn't know what to say to that. He cleared his throat awkwardly and waited for her to say something. Honestly, her reaction had caught him off guard. He expected something more hostile…

"Of course, it would be like you to choose a time like this to stop by," Mina continued after a pause. She shook her head, but smiled. "I bet you want to know what's happening in there." She nodded toward the chapel, and Seiya followed her gaze.

"Yeah…I…know this wasn't the smartest thing to do, but I just wanted her to know…"

"I know," Mina said. They both faced the chapel and Mina took a moment to collect her thoughts. "To be honest, Serena hadn't been the same since you left… She always seemed distant, like her thoughts were some place else…" Mina smiled and looked at Seiya. "I guess they were with you." Her eyes fell back to the chapel. "When she walked back into that chapel a few minutes ago, I knew you were here. I could see it in her eyes, in her smile. She seems so happy."

Seiya felt warmth creep into his cheeks. All doubts of his Odango entering that chapel to breakup, and instead getting married, disappeared. He knew she would return to him.

"I'm glad you make her happy, Seiya," Mina whispered. "As the Goddess of Love, I know you two will make each other happy for a long time!" She laughed and patted his back.

"Thanks, Mina." Seiya laughed, but kept his eyes glued to the chapel. He felt Mina's eyes still on him, and knew what was going to happen next.

"How's Yaten?" She asked, hopefully.

"A woman," Seiya said with a laugh. "Sorry Mina."

"Yeah, I know…" Her eyes dropped down to her feet and her smile vanished.

"Hey," Seiya said, lifting her chin with his index finger until she met his gaze, "she counts you as a very important friend." He hoped that would cheer her up a bit.

"Yeah, well, we'll see how long that lasts," Mina said, a wicked smile appearing across her lips. "After all, I am the Goddess of Love…I can make anything happen!" She and Seiya laughed, but Mina froze quickly. She pointed to a figure running from the chapel. "That's Raye," she said in a breath. "Nice knowing you, Seiya!" She patted him of the back quickly, then bolted from his side, moving quickly for the door.

"She's going to kill me?" Seiya gasped, frightened by Mina's reaction.

"Uh…you can handle her! Good luck! Just don't let her push you around!" And Mina was gone.

Seiya waited, trying to figure out what he was going to say to Raye when she confronted him, and what he wasn't going to do if she attacked him. Seiya bit his lip nervously, and balled his hands up into fists when he saw the door that Mina just vanished from open a crack.

Raye pushed open the door slowly and froze.

"Seiya."

"Hey, Raye," he said, as calmly as he could.

"I should have known." Her eyes flashed dangerously and she crossed her arms quickly. "Did you know it is Serena's and Darien's wedding day?"

"Yes."

"And you planned to take her nonetheless?"

"I didn't plan to take her away," Seiya clarified strongly. "I just wanted to wish her good luck…"

Raye "hmmphed."

"…and I just wanted to see her one last time," Seiya finished.

"You're leaving," Raye stated softly more than questioned. Her voice had lost its edge and her eyes seemed sad.

"That was the plan."

"Then why is Serena in there telling Darien that she can't marry him anymore?" Raye snapped. The fire was back in her eyes. "She seems to be under the impression that you are going to stay with her!"

"Raye…"

"So you're leaving her, after ruining her wedding day, is that it?" Raye said, cutting Seiya off. She took several menacing steps towards him and continued to yell. "You make her believe you're staying, and then you leave?!"

"Hey, will you let me explain!" Seiya shouted, trying to overpower Raye's volume.

"What's to explain? You just told me the plan was to leave!"

"I said that was the plan," Seiya said. "I didn't come here today to ruin her wedding. I didn't come here to change her mind. I just wanted to see her again, and what I found when I saw her was a sad girl standing out in the rain… That doesn't seem like something a happy bride would do, does it?"

Raye opened her mouth to argue, but couldn't. She pictured Serena standing there earlier that day. Raye had seen her, and Raye knew she wasn't happy…

"So what then?" Raye asked softly. "She's marrying you?"

"Well, she doesn't have to marry anyone just yet," Seiya smiled. "When she's ready, I'm here…if that's what she wants." He paused, waiting for Raye to say something back to him, but she remained quiet. "Raye, you know I would never hurt her."

"Yes, I know that," she whispered. "Seiya, it's just that…this had always been the plan." Raye moved over to where he was standing and gripped onto the railing, looking at the chapel. "Ever since we learned who we really were as Sailor Soldiers, we knew that Serena and Darien were destined to be together…that had always been the plan." She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "And now, with you here, no one is sure what the plan is anymore."

"I'm sorry," Seiya said after a pause.

"No, don't be," Raye said shaking her head. "This is probably for the best. We can't predict the future, but each of the Soldiers, including Prince Darien, have felt you coming for a long time now…especially me. I knew that once you and Serena met, our entire destiny would be questionable."

"You knew I would be here?" Seiya asked, a little shocked. Raye nodded her head. "Then why didn't you do something to stop me?"

"That's the funny thing," she whispered. "If I tried to stop you in one way, you two would find another way… It was…"

"...inevitable," Seiya finished and Raye nodded. "Mina and I talked it over. She saw the capacity of love you and Serena could have with one another, given a chance, and until recently, I've been stopping her from saying of doing anything about it…"

"And now?"

"I had a vision," Raye said. She turned around, away from the chapel, and leaned up against the railing. She lifted her eyes to the grey sky and spoke. "The happiness we thought Serena and Darien had for each other was just a glimmer of what you and Serena could have…" Raye met Seiya's gaze. "She's happiest when she's with you."

"Oh," Seiya breathed. He couldn't help to smile widely. "Sorry, Raye."

"Please stop saying that," Raye laughed. "We're happy for you! I'm happy for you!"

"Thanks."

"I should get back," Raye said. She stood and moved across the roof to the door. With her hand on the knob, she looked back at Seiya. "But I must warn you…if you ever make her unhappy, we will be on you faster than you could even imagine." She laughed, knowing Seiya would never do anything like that to Serena. She just felt like she had to say something like that…just to scare him a bit.

"I know," he laughed. "Thank you."

Raye nodded once, and then turned the knob and opened the door. She smiled. Serena was standing there.

"Raye?" Serena gasped.

"I'm glad you're happy, Serena," Raye smiled. She pulled Serena into a quick hug, and then left the two on the roof.

"What did she say to you?" Serena asked, crossing over to Seiya quickly.

"Don't worry," Seiya smiled. "She approved." He hugged his Odango, glad that all worry was gone now. "You told him?"

"Yes," Serena answered. "He said he understood… I just feel terrible that I did this to him." She looked up at Seiya with tears in her eyes. "I'm a bad person…"

"Never!" Seiya reassured quickly. He cupped Serena's face with his hands and smiled at her. "This is better for the both of you, trust me on it." He waited for a little relief to appear in her eyes, but nothing so far. "Did he sound angry?"

"No," she answered. "He seemed like he expected it… That might be even worse!"

"No, Odango, trust me. He's not doubting your character…" Seiya battled with repeating what Raye had just told him, or trying to make Serena understand a different way. "Raye…told me that they saw me coming."

"What? How?" Serena furrowed her eyebrows. "Why didn't I see you?"

"I don't know, but she said that all the Soldiers knew that once we met, it would be the end the destiny you knew." Seiya tried to read the expression on Serena's face. He hoped he didn't scare her…

"The end of our destiny?"

"The one that you all expected to happen…" Seiya wanted to know what she was thinking, but wasn't picking up on any feelings.

"We altered that destiny," Serena said and Seiya nodded after a moment's thought. "But what is the destiny now?"

"Odango…I don't know." He moved his hands down to her shoulders and smiled. "I can't see what's in the future, but I know that as long as you want me, we'll be facing that future together."

"Seiya." Serena choked up. Tears slid from her eyes and she smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too, Odango."

It might be a boring ending, or it might be the best ending… Boring cuz nothing really dramatic and heart-pulling happened, or the best ending cuz it's an open ending!

What happens next? Will Seiya and Serena ever get married? Will they stay in Tokyo, or travel like Seiya intended? Oh so many questions that haven't been answered! Lol okay, I'm done talking. Thanks for reading!
