"Luke, where are you taking me"? Hikari asked, her voice dulled by the fall cold she had been inhabited by.

"Kari, I can't tell you or it'll ruin the surprise, but you really should've worn a scarf, your cold isn't going to get any better". Luke teased back, Hikari then made some sort of fussy whimper. He had discovered that when she was sick, Hikari Rue Makuda was a grouch. She had caught this cold, three days prior to that moment, when waving goodbye to her siblings, promising to visit the mainland as soon as possible for a visit. Yuuki seemed reluctant to leave the island, claiming to have developed an attachment to its scenery and solitude, but Luke would put any money on the fact he still didn't trust Luke with his baby sister, while Akari and Takeru seemed more than willing, to get off the island at any cost.

Now as Luke lead a stuffy Hikari through the labyrinth of Garmon mines, beaming at his plans, and Hikari's grumpiness, which he found adorable. He began to pick up the pace, for if everything was to go as he'd planned, they'd arrive at the top of the mountain as soon as the moon came out.

"Alright, are you ready"? Luke asked his hands still over her eyes.

"Of course I'm ready, what is it"? In a slow and antagonizing fashion, Luke slid his hands from her eyes, and she gasped. They were standing atop of the Garmon Mountain, chilly air blew making Hikari shiver slightly, but it also blew the clouds below rapidly, the moon was a big white glowing orb that shone down perfectly. Hikari's heart swelled and she turned to Luke, and gasped it yet again. Luke stood there, his arms held out and his hands cupped a single sapphire blue feather, a genuine blue feather.

"Hikari, you're my best friend, and I hope I'm yours, when I met you, I was just amazed, you were spunky but afraid of the dark, kind but fierce with a wooden spoon, and you're a beautiful, medical genius. You're my Harvest Goddess, and I want to know… Will you Hikari Rue Makuda, do me the astounding honor of becoming my wife"?

Her arms were wrapped around his neck, and her face against his neck. The feeling of her cold nose pressing into the warmth of his flesh gave him goose bumps.

"Hikari, did I upset you"? He wondered, his heart already sagging. She was probably in love with her friend Gill, or even Wizard. Hell, he'd probably lost her to Chase and they'd get married and their babies would be able to cook. He barely noticed the feeling of her hair against his cheek as she shook her head no, she whispered to him

"Luke, this is the best day of my life, how could I say no to the man I love? Let's get married, as soon as possible, it'll be extreme"! In his lifetime, Luke could count on one hand how many times he had cried, and they were all from his mother's passing. He grinned as he thought

'I'm going to have to use to hands now'… He began crying, tears of joy and embraced Hikari's small form against the muscle of his chest. They stood there for period of time, wrapped up in one another's sweet nothings, the air was cold, but they shivered with giddiness.

"Kari, can we name our kids something other than Lunar and Zero"? Luke asked he then heard the sound of Hikari laughing.

"Of course we can Luke, Lunar makes me think of Luna in town, and Zero is a number that isn't so great. So how about we name our son Luke Junior"?"

"As much as I'd like that, why don't we name him Axel"?

"I like that to, and our daughters name should be…" Hikari paused for a moment, and then her eyes lit up.

"Let's name our daughter Celty"! She clapped and Luke smiled at her.

"It's a perfect name for our perfect daughter".

"That doesn't exist yet"…

That night the two practiced sleeping in the same bed at Hikari's farmhouse, where Luke would soon join her. He watched as she shivered beneath the blue sheets of their double bed. Luke rested his toasty warm arm across the small of her stomach and she sighed. Suddenly Luke jumped; Hikari's icy toes were pressed against his long tan leg.

"Jeez Kari, your freezing"!

"Mhm, totally"… She yawned sleepily. She had nested herself against Luke's chest, with his arm still strung across her, and her little head tucked into the hollow of his collar bone. He smiled and kissed her forehead.

"So you're a snuggling type? So am I". Luke then sandwiched his fiancé in his arms and sighed. Taking a breath of her sweet hay and orange vanilla scented hair and pillow Luke allowed himself to close his eyes. He was reluctant though, this was all too good to be true, and he couldn't take the pain of waking up in the morning in his bed knowing that his sweet Hikari, Axel, and Celty did not and would not ever exist. Though he pushed that thought away, he was in bliss, and it was that simple.
