Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any of the characters, they are the property of Tajiri Satoshi and Nintendo. If I did, it'd be a certainty that Tracey and Cilan would meet.
Notes: This is an AU-fic, so there are no Pokemon. This is a Starchshipping fic, which means it's a romantic relationship between Tracey and Cilan, thus making it shounen-ai. If you don't like that, then please leave now. If you do, then I hope you enjoy!
Final Chapter: A New Memory Has Been Made
The next year, Tracey allowed Cilan to reveal the final sketch. Cilan could see why it had to stay a secret until it had happened. After all, it's better to have a memoir of your wedding day than it is to see the image of a dream.
It wasn't fancy, it was a small gathering in Delia's backyard. There was no minister, there was someone else with the authorisation to wed two people. There weren't a lot of people, it was just those who were family or were considered to be family.
Tracey and Cilan stood facing each other, tears of joy in their eyes, their hands linked. Tracey was the first to make a vow. "Cilan, ever since the day we met, you've been there for me. You laughed with me through the good times, and cried with me through the bad. You've always been a special person to me, and I'm glad we're able to share our bond with everyone here. I promise to always be there for you; to laugh with you, to cry with you. I promise to always love you, not even death will stop my love for you."
"Tracey, you have always been someone I love; whether it was as a friend, as a brother or as a lover. On my darkest days, you always knew what to do to help me get back on my feet. You always have been and always will be a special person to me. I promise to always love you, to always be there for you. I promise that my love for you is eternal."
"Please take the rings," the celebrant stated.
They did so.
"Tracey, repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed."
"With this ring, I thee wed." Tracey slid the gold band onto Cilan's finger.
"Cilan, repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed."
"With this ring, I thee wed." Cilan did the same.
"If there is anybody who believed these two should not be wed, then speak now, or forever hold your peace." Nobody spoke up. "Then, by the power invested in me, I now pronounce these two to be wed. You may kiss each other."
Tracey cupped Cilan's cheek lovingly. He leaned in and allowed his lips to meet Cilan's. It was a chaste kiss. The kiss ended and they were turned to face their friends and family. "We are now wed!" they declared as everyone present let out a cheer and applauded them.
Cilan stared at the picture, tears of joy filling his eyes. Now, he could look over every significant event in his life with Tracey.
Tracey held Cilan in a half-hug, he was also looking at the picture of their wedding day, a soft smile marking his lips. There was nobody he'd rather share such a memory with.
Thank you for reading this story, and if you did, for reviewing. I'm glad I was able to complete this Starchshipping fic. May Tracey and Cilan actually meet in the anime one day.
