Chapter 10: The Happily Ever After?

Authors note: Sorry, last time I posted the wrong chapter so I fixed it up

The wedding went well I'd have to say. Cloud and Tifa had the most beautiful wedding anyone could hope for and I was happy for them. They were surrounded by friends and family, what more could you possibly ask for? Through the whole wedding I avoided Sora like the plague. There was no way I could face him now. The wedding was held near the ocean which was kind of a ways out from Midgar.

After the wedding I didn't bother to stay and dance with anybody. I wondered of onto the bridge that was built right over the water. I leaned on the railing and looked down at my reflection in the setting sun. I was alone for a while before I heard someone walking on the bridge. Honestly I thought they would just walk on by, but the person stopped right next to me.

"What's a pretty girl like you doing out here by herself when there's a party going on?" I heard a familiar voice say.

I looked over to see Sora standing behind me and smiling. I quickly looked away and down at the water before I could loose it. "Nobody to hang out with I guess." I mumbled.

He gasped in a teasing tone, "A beautiful girl like you doesn't have a date?"

I couldn't help but laugh at that. "You got that right."

"Hmm...it's almost a crime for someone like you not to have a date. What can we do about that? Let's see...I don't have a date and you don't have a date..." he rambled on, still using a teasing tone "Oh I know! How about I take you to the party."

I turned around to look at him. He stood there with his hands folded behind his head with a big smile on his face, no trace of hurt in his eyes. "Uh...okay." I said not sure if he was serious. He took my hand and led me back to the wedding, smiling the whole way.

When we got to the wedding he led me onto the dance floor and took both of my hands into his and started dancing with me. "You look pretty today." he smiled.

"Thanks..." I blushed. I thought for sure he'd hate me for the rest of his life.

"Your welcome." He smiled as I looked down. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"I thought you'd hate me forever, but you're here dancing with me like nothing ever happened." I told him.

He smiled, "You ran out of the room before I could say anything. I was hurt and needed time to think about it, but I never hated you. Today when I saw you here all I could see was the girl I fell in love with, not the mistakes she made."

My heart felt like it was about to burst. "Sora...I-I don't know what to say."

"You don't need to say anything." He laughed as he shook his head. "I want us to be the ones up there someday." he said as he looked up at the alter.

I smiled at him, "Who knows, maybe someday we will."

I looked around to see everyone having a good time and everyone was with the ones they loved. Xion smiled at me as she turned around to see me while Riku spun her around. Vincent was dancing with Yuffie, which was a surprise. I didn't think Vincent liked anybody. Zack and Aerith were together like always, if I had to guess they're the next ones to get married. Namine and Roxas were off in their own happy world which nobody would ever understand. And then there was the bride and groom dancing together in their own perfect world. As for me, I was with the person I belonged with in the world. I may have messed up a lot, but he forgave me and that was enough.

My life may not be perfect but as long as he's around I'll always smile and make it through the bad times. As he leaned in and kissed me I knew this was my one true love and my happily ever after.
