AnimeKiwi369: I apologize in advance for the chapter being so short.
Rikki: What goes on in this chapter?
AnimeKiwi369: In short, it's Yusei and Akiza's wedding.
Rikki: Oh, okay!
AnimeKiwi369: This chapter might be a bit cliche. So sorry for that, too. Let's move onto the chapter.
Yusei and Akiza: Let's.
AnimeKiwi369: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's or its characters, just my own characters and the storyline.
Found Lost Love
Chapter 19
Five Months Later—February 14th
Rikki looked at her mother as she finished dressing in her strapless crimson-colored wedding gown, looking in the full length mirror at the church.
"Mommy, you look so pretty!" she exclaimed with a bright smile. Akiza turned around and ruffled her hair affectionately.
"Thank you. You look very pretty, too, my sweet darling." She told her with her own smile. Rikki was wearing a light red spaghetti-strap dress with a dark purple cardigan and her hair was curled. She had a small halo with roses that blended into her hair because of the color on it on top of her head. She would definitely grow up to look like her mother.
"Thanks!" Rikki smiled, "How come daddy can't see you, yet?"
"It's an old wives' tale that a groom mustn't see his bride on the day of the wedding until the actual time of the wedding or else it's bad luck." Akiza explained.
"Huh?" her daughter asked, "I don't think I understand."
"I don't think anyone does." She admitted, "It's just something somebody a long time ago made up."
"Oh. Okay. I think." The little burgundy-haired girl said uneasily. Akiza crouched down carefully and tipped her daughter's chin.
"Don't worry if you don't get it." She reassured, smiling gently, "I don't get it either."
"All right, mommy." She responded, "When does the wedding start?"
The female Signer looked at the clock, "Just a few more minutes before your daddy and I are married again."
"And only a few more minutes until we become a true family?"
"Yes." She told her, ruffling her hair, but wanting to pick her up, "And only," she added, "a few more minutes until you become a Fudo and I become a Fudo again."
"Yeah!" Rikki exclaimed happily.
The few minutes left went by quickly. Music began playing outside of the room they were in.
"When do I go?" the young psychic asked as her mother grabbed her bouquet. They went out of the room and into the hallway.
"As soon as Dove and Crow are at the altar with your father then you start going down the aisle to get it ready for me. 'Kay?"
"'Kay." Rikki responded, watching as the two bird-named adults finished making their way up to the aisle. She went at a fairly easy pace, scattering the rose petals here and there slowly, making sure she didn't run out. She heard her mother following her a dozen steps behind. She stood a little off to the side of the few steps there were. She watched her mother as she made her way up to the altar.
Her mother smiled at her and Yusei as she reached the altar. Both of the cobalt-eyed duelists smiled back to her before the young girl went and sat down in the front row, next to Luna. There weren't very many people there; only her parents' friends, her mother's parents, and Martha, who Yusei had mentioned to her a few months prior. But she hadn't really been introduced to her, yet.
Rikki didn't really pay much attention to what the minister was saying. She was only looking at her parents as they looked at each other, love held in their eyes. I'm so glad mommy and daddy found each other. She mused silently. Rikki's eyes danced happily as the two Signers placed rings on the other's hand.
"Yusei, repeat after me." The minister told him, "I, Yusei, take thee to be my lawful wedded wife."
"I, Yusei, take thee to be my lawful wedded wife." He repeated.
"In sickness and in heath, for richer or for poorer, for better better or for worse."
"In sickness and in heath, for richer or for poorer, for better better or for worse."
"And love for as long as I live." The minister finished.
"And love for as long as I live." The dark-haired Signer repeated, feeling déjà vu and the minister turned towards the psychic.
"Now repeat after me. I, Akiza, take thee to be my lawful wedded husband."
"I, Akiza, take thee to be my lawful wedded husband."
"In sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for better of for worse."
"In sickness and in heath, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse." She repeated, feeling a bit strange repeating everything.
"And love for as long as I live."
"And love for as long as I live." She finished, looking into the Satellite-raised man's gorgeous cobalt eyes. The minister turned back towards Yusei.
"Do you, Yusei Fudo, take this woman to have and to hold, to protect and be protected by, to cherish and be cherished by, to love and to honor, for as long as you both shall live? 'Till death do you part?"
He looked sweetly into Akiza's eyes, "'Till death do us part, I do."
The priest turned back to the psychic, "Do you, Akiza Izinski, take this man to have and to hold, to protect and be protected by, to cherish and be cherished by, to love and to honor, for as long as you both shall live? 'Till death do you part?"
She smiled a little and Rikki watched her parents happily.
"'Till death do us part, I do." She said.
"I now pronounce you man and wife." The minister announced, "You may now kiss the bride."
Yusei leaned down and gently placed his lips on Akiza's. The kiss was so sweet and softer than any other kiss they had ever had. The psychic's lips were so soft and honey sweet while the Satellite-raised man's lips were warm and tasted like peppermint. Rikki beamed at her parents as they kissed, her eyes closed. She had never felt happier.
"I now present Mr. and Mrs. Fudo." The minister announced as the broke away from each other and looked out into the small audience. Akiza and Yusei looked at their daughter and the psychic Signer motioned for her to come over. Rikki obeyed and went over to her mother, who picked her up as the three began to make their way out of the church to get to the reception.
"I'm so happy!" Rikki exclaimed once they were in the car.
"I am, too." Her father agreed.
"So am I, darling." The older of the psychics told her daughter, with a smile.
"We're now a true family!" she exclaimed again.
"Yes, Rikki." Yusei told her.
"We are." Akiza agreed, "We're a true family."
After so long, Yusei and Akiza had found each other.
Rikki had gotten the family she'd always wanted.
And after so long, Rikki's parents had found lost love.
AnimeKiwi369: *Crying*.
Rikki: Why are you crying?
AnimeKiwi369: Because there's only the epilogue left! I don't want this to end!
Yusei: But won't there be a sequel?
AnimeKiwi369: Yeah, but it's going to be a one-shot sequel.
Akiza: Really?
AnimeKiwi369: Really. She said sadly. *Imaginary light bulb appears above head as an idea forms*. Or maybe NOT!
Rikki: *Looks at Akiza*. What just happened?
Akiza: She got an idea.
Rikki: Is that a good thing?
Yusei: We never really can tell until the story comes out.
AnimeKiwi369: *Giggling*.
Rikki: Please reveiw and please review appropriately and kindly please.
AnimeKiwi369: THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF MY BEST IDEAS YET! YAY!
