The story is sort of a short story, since there isn't much going on like how in does in Kingdom Hearts. That being said, this story might skip a few months or whatever so that it can get straight to the point.

Chapter Three

A wedding appears!
A month had already passed, and it was the wedding day of Stella and Dante. She was in bride's tent getting ready, with Leah helping her zip up the dress and stylizing her hair. Leah peeked through the tent and noticed they had a few people outside talking and getting comfortable, and she was excited. She turned from the slip, and saw Stella standing in front of the mirror as she was pretty much ready. Leah was in awe once everything was on and she smiled at how beautiful her sister-in-law looked.
Stella saw herself in the mirror, and made sure the dress was okay. It was a mermaid dress, and the bottom of the dress was a light pastel salmon colour that left a trail with a flower attached by the side of her knee. On top of that was the traditional while color dress, and she wore a light coral belt under her chest with five diamond-shaped silver jewels. The torso was sweetheart shaped with a silver outline, and she had silver off the shoulder short sleeves. She also had a diamond bracelet on.
She also found something old—which was her keychain, something new—her wedding dress, something burrowed—the pearl necklace she was going to wear from Leah, and something blue—which was a piece of her father's favorite blue tie. Her bangs hanged loosely and her hair was tied with a loose bun with pink and orange flowers; small banana leafs, and pearls. Attached to it was the veil, which was fairly short. She took a deep breath and smiled at herself in the mirror, and Leah crept from behind and placed her hands on her shoulders.
"You look so beautiful," she told her. "Everyone will be in awe."
Stella thanked her, and Eli came in and gasped a bit. She turned around with Leah, and he gave a satisfied nod. "You look amazing! I can't believe today is happening… I always though you would've gotten married before me."
"I guess we took our time," Stella replied. She smiled at both her brother and Leah, and he walked over as he placed his hand on Leah's waist. "Who's here?"
"Everyone that you invited," he replied. "A couple of elderly women and men came to see the wedding too, and they came bearing gifts. They're really lovesick, and they love weddings."
"I don't mind," Stella said. "As long as they don't cause a ruckus, they'll always be welcomed."
Eli laughed and Leah placed her head on her husband's shoulders. She was getting lovesick herself, and turned to Stella. She told her that they needed to get ready, since they would be walking down the aisle soon. They nodded, and got ready for the ceremony.

Everyone stood silent as the pianist started playing a melody, and they watched the back towards the curtains. Dante was at the front and standing confident with his white suit and coral flower attached to the pocket of his jacket, and he waited patiently as everyone came in. The ring bearer and flower girl came out first, and their parents watched as they did. They were close friends to Eli and Leah, and were glad to have helped. As they walked up the aisle with the girl throwing petals and smiling at everyone, Leah and Eli came walking in as the maid of honor and best man. Leah was wearing a simple coral strapless dress, while Eli wore a simple black suit. Once they were all placed in their spots, everyone waited for a while, and behind the curtains stood Stella with her father.
"You look absolutely beautiful, my dear," he said. He chuckled a bit, and let Stella wrap her arms under his. "If only you could be this lady-like all the time."
"Daddy, you know that's not possible," she giggled. He laughed along, but they both stopped when the curtain was about to open. When it did, everyone gasped in awe at Stella, and she smiled as she walked down the aisle with her father. He stood proudly beside her as they walked, and some of the women in their seats smiled at how beautiful she looked. Stella looked ahead, and saw Dante with his mouth slightly open. He was struck at how lovely she looked, and smiled brightly at his beautiful blushing bride. She walked up, and her father let her go and stood be Eli. She got up on the step, stood in front of Dante, and smiled at him. They shared a look, and they knew what they were both thinking, that they were going to love each other endlessly.
"Today, we are gathered here on this beautiful day to witness the union of these two, young couple named Stella and Dante," the priest spoke, "As they exchange vows of their everlasting love."
Stella and Dante faced him as he spoke on about how the day would be a memorable day for everyone and the couple, and how everyone should cherish love and know that those bonds can survive through anything. Stella and Dante just went into their own worlds as the priest spoke, and she was already envisioning her future with this man, and it was going to be perfect. He also knew it was going to be perfect, and they were going to have children and be the family he always wanted to be.
"At this time, I ask you, Dante and you, Stella, to face each other and take each other's hand," he said. Stella and Dante were brought out of their worlds, and followed the priest's instructions as he spoke. "Do you, Dante, take Stella to be your wife, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish her and love her today, tomorrow and forever? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." Dante looked straight at Stella, and she smiled at the man before her.
"Stella, will you take Dante to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish her and love her today, tomorrow and forever? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," she said as she continued to smile at him. He smiled back, and even felt like getting teary-eyed.
"If there is anyone who objects to this union; please speak now or forever hold your peace," the priest said. Stella and Dante looked around along with Eli and Leah, and no one seemed to answer. Trinity was sitting all the way in the back, and out of view from them. She wanted to say something, but it was her brother, and she knew that if she said anything he would cease any interactions with her, and she couldn't bear that. She took a deep breath and sighed, and the priest continued with his words.
"We shall present the Paopu fruit as requested by these two, and bestow it upon them, who wish to share their lives together," the priest said as he took out a box. He opened it and took the fruit out as he showed it to Stella, Dante and the audience. He took out the knife inside the box, and cut the fruit in half as he handed it to Stella and Dante. "When two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They will remain a part of each other's lives no matter what."
Stella and Dante looked at each other as they held the pieces, and both of them ate the piece. Everyone watched, with Eli and Leah smiling at each other as they had done that for their wedding as well. Once they were done eating the fruit, the priest smiled, and nodded. "I now pronounce you husband and wife."
Stella and Dante grew closer as they kissed, and everyone stood as they clapped. Once they stopped kissing, they walked off the pedestal and down the aisle. Everyone cheered and roared, and they laughed as they did. Once they were outside a carriage was there, and they boarded it as everyone watched as they did. Leah and Eli smiled and clapped with Tyler, Stella and Eli's father, while Trinity just scoffed and left. She really didn't understand the appeal Stella had, and she couldn't understand how her brother could love such a primitive person. She sighed as she made her way back to her home, since she didn't want to stay any longer.

Weeks after
During the first few weeks of being married, Stella and Dante have always been together more so than usual, and people in the area have always squealed at their love or how cute they were. An old couple had asked them when they were going to have children, and Stella wondered that too, but Dante wanted everything to be stable before having children. Of course, he was the one who wanted to have children first, but after setting everything up. For example, he wanted his family restaurant to be stable, since they've started renovations since his mother, Marie, first bought and started the restaurant. It stated in her will that she was going to pass down the store to her children, and they've all helped out making it as strong as it was back then. Dante was seventeen when she passed away, with Leah and Trinity being nineteen and twenty, respectively. He was very emotional when she passed away, something he wasn't when his father did, who died when he was twenty. Of course, he had left them and his wife when he was twelve, and had resented his cowardly ways ever since.
Stella, who was still having dreams about the woman with blonde, wondered if the keychain her mother gave had anything to do with it. She would often fight with a sword that looked rather odd, and it greatly resembled the keychain she had. She thought for a long time whether she should have asked her father about it or not, but she knew her father was still upset about her mother leaving, so it wasn't a good idea. Stella just kept quiet about the dreams for a while longer.
Down by the family restaurant, which was named Marie's Diner before they changed the name to Diner Time, Trinity was sitting in the back counting the money before opening up the restaurant. After doing that, she ordered the workers to open up the restaurant, and walked around to make sure everything was in order. Since it was early in the morning, only elderly folks came to enjoy the breakfast, which Trinity didn't mind. One such woman, who seemed to know a lot about the townsfolk, walked up to Trinity to congratulate her and her family about the wedding, but Trinity just scoffed.
"Dante's wedding reminds me a lot about Anne's wedding, except for the part with Paopu fruit," she said. Trinity raised an eyebrow and asked the old woman who Anne was, and the woman smiled as she explained. "She was the mother of Eli and Stella, and such an interesting character. She would tell me such wonderful stories about other worlds."
"Are you alright, ma'am? I think you've lost it," Trinity told her. The woman just shook her head, and continued talking about it. She told Trinity about how Anne was a Keyblade Master with a sword called the Keyblade, and how she traveled to Destiny Island to protect the world from darkness as she started her new life. Trinity sighed as she listened to the senile old woman, but decided to play along so that the woman would shut up after. "How interesting, please so carry on."
"Well, there was a man named Xehanort who lived here, and Anne seemed to know him as well," the old woman said, who later had a slight frown on her face, "But they both disappeared, and quite strangely as well. They left nothing behind to say where they were going."
Trinity seemed somewhat intrigued, since it was a mystery and she didn't believe people just disappeared. She asked the old woman if she knew where Xehanort lived, and the woman told her. She mentioned that the house was probably abandoned, but Trinity didn't care. It was for the sake of history, and Trinity was pretty much a history fanatic when it came to her home. She grabbed a piece of paper and pen and gave it to the woman who wrote down the address. She left with paying for the food, and gave a smile and short bow to Trinity, who shrugged the woman away. She was still skeptic about visiting, but she had to make the decision sooner or later. Maybe she'd find something to destroy the Hill family with.
Ah, Trinity you horrible person you. What will she find, I wonder? Maybe she will find something to destroy the Hill family, or maybe something even deeper. Who knows, but we'll see soon enough.
