Hey there! Alright here it is...the Epilogue...(yes, I realize what I said previously, honestly I consider Chapter 20 as the ending...)
Note: Marlene and Zack are not related at all...(you'll understand once you get to that part.)
Disclaimer on my profile, enjoy!
"3, 2, 1…smile!"
Blinking after the photographer snapped the large group photo, everyone then broke apart into their own groups. Walking up to Zack, who was grinning like an idiot, Vincent then broke into a smile, "Congratulations, you finally tied the knot."
"Yeah!" In a quick movement he then hugged Vincent tightly, breaking away from the hug; he then led him towards Tseng and Cloud who were chatting together by the bar.
"Hey!" Quickly hugging each of the men, Zack then grinned at the three men in turn, "Guys, thanks for being my groomsmen and Cloud I expect a good speech-
"Hey! I am your best man." The four of them then laughed and clinked their glasses together…
"Aeris, I'm so happy for you!"
"Thank you Shera, I'm so happy you three are here, thank you Elena and Tifa." Blinking away her tears of happiness, Aeris then hugged her bridesmaids and maid of honour tightly.
"C'mon, Aeris let's get you changed, you can't keep your guests waiting." Tifa then led Aeris to the change area, where a makeup artist and hairstylist were waiting patiently.
"Uncle Zack!"
Breaking into a wide smile, as he turned around and kneeled down to pick up Marlene and spin her around, he then held her in his arms, "Princess Marlene, thank you for being such an awesome flower girl."
Turning to Denzel and Barret who came waking over with Elmyra Gainsborough behind them, Zack then grinned, "Denzel, my man thanks for being our ring bearer."
"No problem." Turning towards Barret, the smartly dressed ten year old then pointed to Cloud, "I'm going to talk to Cloud, okay?"
Nodding Barret then pushed him towards Cloud, Tseng and Vincent, "Elmyra could you?"
Smiling kindly, Elmyra then collected Marlene from Zack and headed towards Rufus Shinra's table, where the head of Shinra Entertainment and Sephiroth were currently trying to get away from Reno before he dropped one of the bottles of wine he was juggling.
"Seems like you brought everyone here…."
"Nope." Grinning at Barret's suspicious glance, Zack then raised his eyebrows slowly
"No fucking way…."
Bursting through the doors Yuffie Kisaragi, called out: "Did somebody call for some Entertainment!?"
Following right behind the energetic singer was Cid Highwind, "Shut it, Shorty."
"Hey old man, you want to sing?" Narrowing her eyes at the pilot, she then ignored the grunt Cid gave in reply and headed towards the stage with her band following after her.
"Enjoying yourself?" Smiling at the sound of his voice, Tifa nodded and turned around, wrapping her arms around his shoulders, "Of course I am, Mr. Valentine."
"Hey, Vincent!"
The two of them turned at the source of the voice, and Tifa smiled brightly, "Yuffie, how are you?"
"Oh I'm great! Say, Vincent can I have it now?"
Staring at Vincent curiously, Tifa voiced her confusion, "Vincent, what did you promise, Yuffie?"
"A kiss, in exchange for performing here tonight!" Bounding up to Vincent, Yuffie then grinned.
Pretending to look offended, Tifa then broke away from Vincent, "You did not promise….
Hurriedly winking at Tifa, Vincent then stepped towards the eager teen and lifted her right hand up and placed a light kiss on her knuckles, "As promised, a kiss." Stepping away from Yuffie, Vincent then smiled as Yuffie then blinked back at him with her mouth forming into a comical 'O'.
"Vincent!"
Glancing innocently at Yuffie's outraged expression, he then smiled, "Yes?"
Softening her expression as she then noticed how genuinely happy he looked with Tifa by his side, Yuffie then sighed, "Never mind…."
"Alright ladies, Aeris is going to throw her bouquet…."
"Cid, you shouldn't drink so much."
"You drink your damn water, and I'll-
Blinking confusedly at his glass, Cid's eyes widened as he took in the large bouquet of white and yellow lilies standing in what was his glass of beer. Glaring at everyone who was laughing and especially Shera who giggled at Cid's beer drenched face, he was about to throw the bouquet back when a hand stopped him.
"You don't mind if I exchange your glass?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Cid then switched his glass for an opened wine bottle that was offered to him. Silence in the room followed as everyone watched Vincent walk over to Tifa with the bouquet.
"I think these belong to you…."
Fin
And there you have it...
Thank you...Roguey-beaR, Lila, x Sarizar, kukuxumusuu, Nene, anonymous, Doctor Kiba, Mary, YinYangWhiteTiger, xxMissUnderstood, Midnightcatch, swantonforthemoment, IndigoLockheart, tenshi, and an, for taking the time to review. Also thanks for those who favourited/alerted this fic and last but not least, thank you to those that stumbled on this fic and read it to the end.
(If your confused about the ending...think about the old western tradition in weddings where the bride throws her bouquet to those single women, and the belief that who ever catches it will be the next to marry...)
As for what I'm up to now that the "reel of film" is done, check out my profile. Have a nice day/night/afternoon/twilight/dawn!
