Chapter Twenty Eight: Wedding Bells and Purple Dresses
Through the window sunlight poured into Reena's room, painting it gold. She gave into the morning's call, opening her eyes to the blinding light. After blinking profusely the spots of colored disappeared. The moment her eyesight returned, her eyes fell on the white dress hanging on her dressing screen.
Reena collapsed on her bed, a smile stretching across her face. She couldn't express the happiness inside of her. She felt as though she was going to burst. It was today. After years of uncertainty, peril, trials, and suffering the day had finally come. She was getting married. They were getting married.
Without wasting another moment, Reena was writing away in her book. Her hand however couldn't keep up with her mind and was soon forced to stop. Instead she went to the dress, holding it in front of her and looking in the mirror. Only a few more hours.
A knock at the door brought Reena somewhat back to the present. Reluctantly she hung the dress back up, answering the door. Lera came into view.
"It's today!" Reena exclaimed, her eyes dancing.
Lera laughed, walking in. "Someone's excited. Can't imagine why."
Reena only smiled, sitting on her bed. She pulled her knees under her chin, rocking back and forth.
"I don't know how you got any sleep!" Lera laughed as Reena ran to her dress and held it up in front of her again.
"Does the white wash me out?" Reena asked nervously. "I already have-"
"Reena, you look beautiful in it!" Lera interrupted. "Now, come on! We need to start getting you ready!"
"Now?" Reena asked. "What times is it?"
"Almost nine," Lera answered.
"Almost nine?" Reena cried. "That late already? I- Ow!"
"Reena, breathe!" Lera laughed as Reena rubbed her foot furiously. "That's what we call a dresser."
"Shut up!" Reena snapped. "I can't have a broken foot on my wedding day!"
"Is everything okay in here?"
Lera dashed to the door, nearly slamming it closed. She poked her head out, letting a sigh of relief escape.
"For a moment I thought you were Link!" Lera said. "Come on in, Reena's about ready to faint."
"I am not!" Reena protested as Anita and Ella slipped into the room.
"Is it true you can't see Link all day?" Ella asked, jumping onto the bed.
"It's true," Reena answered. "Not before the ceremony at least."
"Guess what my mommy said!" Ella exclaimed.
"What?" Reena inquired.
"We're your ladies in waiting!" she said proudly. She added in a whisper, "That means I'm going to help you get ready."
"Are you ready for today?" Anita asked with a smile, hugging Reena.
"We'll see," Reena said. "We're so glad you could make it!"
"We wouldn't miss it for the world," Anita said, pulling away. "Now, let's get you ready!"
The three drew a bath for Reena as she undressed behind the screen. After making sure her robe was securely around her, Reena emerged. She slipped into the tub filled with bubbles as the others looked away.
"You might not find me amongst all the bubbles!" Reena laughed, submerging herself in the water. When she surfaced, a large wad of bubbles remained stubbornly on her nose.
"I like lots of bubbles," Ella explained.
"I could tell," she laughed.
"So, are you nervous?" Anita asked, smiling.
"…I don't know why I am!" Reena said, blowing on the bubbles that only revealed her head and shoulders. "I have a feeling he's not going to stand me up at the altar."
"Well, you never know," Lera said, sitting next to the tub. "I mean, it's Link."
"I get the feeling I can't trust him," Reena teased.
"He's just using you," Lera explained. "He only wants the Triforce of Wisdom and then he's going to keep you around to do his bidding."
"Are you joking?" Ella asked, blowing the bubbles around the room.
"He's going to enslave me?" Reena couldn't keep back her laughter anymore.
"Yes," Lera said, narrowing her eyes mysteriously. "Link's really a horrible tyrant. You'll never get a moment's peace!"
"You two girls," Anita said, shaking her head.
"He's blinded mother and father by doing all those deeds," Lera continued. "It was really just to win them over."
"He plans to over throw the kingdom," Reena added.
"Link wouldn't do that!" Ella protested.
"We should call off the wedding," Reena said. "And stop him before he can take over!"
"He's going to try and take over?" Ella asked in a hushed voice.
Reena, Lera, and Anita burst out laughing at Ella's horrified expression.
"No, Ella," Reena gasped. "We're just kidding!"
"You're still going to marry Link?" she asked hopefully.
"Yes, Ella," Reena assured. "That's why you're here silly!"
"When can I get into my dress?" Ella asked, jumping up and down.
"In a little bit," Reena laughed. "But not yet."
"I remember my wedding day," Anita sighed, her eyes becoming dreamy.
"I was there!" Ella announced.
Lera, Reena, and Anita all stared at the girl.
"Really?" Reena asked, amused.
"Yes, and mommy wore a purple dress!" Ella explained.
"…Purple?" Lera asked, looking at Anita.
"Ella!" Anita moaned. She turned to Reena and Lera. "Tarin and I went to a friend's wedding. She was only three when she went!"
"No, it was your wedding! And you wore a purple dress!" Ella said defiantly, Reena and Lera breaking into hysterical laughter. "I remember."
Anita sighed. "Alright, Ella."
"Was I there, Ella?" Reena asked, not able to stop herself.
"Oh no," Ella said. "You and Link were fighting bad guys."
"Oh, okay," Reena said. "Was Caris there?"
"No! He hadn't come from mommy's tummy yet!" Ella explained. "Do you have a baby in your tummy, Reena?"
"No, Ella," Reena said, going red.
"Well, why not?" she asked.
"Because Link and I aren't married yet," Reena answered, Lera fighting hard to keep her laughter to a minimum.
"So?" Ella inquired, putting her hands on her hips.
"Ella," Anita said, "did you tell Reena what you did on the way to Hyrule?"
Ella let out a horrified gasp at her poor memory. "My mommy and daddy let me ride on my horse by myself to Hyrule!"
"All the way?" Reena asked, giving an indebted smile to Anita.
"Yep," Ella said, holding her chin up proudly. "But Caris isn't old enough to yet. He would fall off and might hurt himself! And that's not good!"
"Alright, enough talking," Anita broke in. "We need to start getting you ready!"
Butterflies swirled all inside Reena as she thought about the events taking place today. She finished washing, taking the towel from Lera and wrapping it around her as she stepped out.
Reena sat patiently as Lera and Anita combed through her damp hair. Her hands shook as they twisted her hair into an elegant bun on top of her head. With each detail being added, the time came closer and closer.
A knock at the door startled the women inside. Lera jumped to her feet, pressing her ear against the door.
"Who is it?" she inquired.
"You're mother," was the answer.
"You may be able to keep Link out, but I don't think mother," Reena said as Lenaya swept inside.
The queen wore a deep violet gown that parted to reveal a white skirt. Diamonds dripped from her neck and ears. She looked magnificent.
"Well, it seems even he can't be kept out entirely," Lenaya said, handing Reena a letter.
"You're kidding," Reena said, laughing as she unfolded the piece of paper.
Dear Reena,
Thank you for today.
Love,
Link
Reena smiled, leaning back in the chair. That one sentence had thousands of meanings. She folded it up, tucking it into her shirt.
"Well? What does he have to say?" Lera demanded.
"Why should I tell you?" Reena asked, allowing Anita to paint her lips a dark red. "Was it addressed to you?"
Lera rolled her eyes. "Fine, be difficult."
"Here," Reena said, handing it to her. She watched as a puzzled look came over Lera's face.
"Um, that's a little… vague," Lera said, handing it back to Reena who put it back in her shirt.
"Maybe to you," Reena said with a shrug.
"Come, it's nearly time," Lenaya said.
"Can I put my dress on now?" Ella asked as Reena disappeared behind her screen with Anita and Lenaya.
"After I help Reena, I'll help you get your dress on, Ella," Anita said, guiding Reena into the back of the dress.
"I can help her," Lera offered, taking Ella's hand. "Shall we get ready, Ella?"
"Yes!" Ella said, jumping up and down with excitement.
Reena smiled, straightening as much as she could as Lenaya and Anita buttoned up the back of her dress. Once it they were done, Lenaya took the tiara holding the veil, placing it around the bun. She took her daughter's hand, leading her to the mirror.
A rush of anxiety washed over Reena as she looked at herself in the mirror. The strapless white gown was breathtaking with its multiple tiers, scalloped edges, and chapel train. Bead work wrapped around the bodice and on the edge of each tier. Earrings with a simple set diamond were echoed in the silver chain around Reena's neck. The veil was lifted over her face, completing the picture.
"You're ready," Lenaya said, tears in her eyes.
"No, I'm not," Reena admitted finally. Her legs felt like water, her stomach was knotted, and her hands were trembling. Why was she so nervous? He wasn't going to stand her up at the altar… was he? Reena nearly slapped herself at that thought. She just needed to pull herself together.
"It's alright to be nervous, dear," Lenaya said gently, cupping her daughter's chin.
"But why am I nervous?" Reena asked, wringing her hands. "Shouldn't I be excited? Is this… is this wedding not supposed to happen?"
Anita laughed, putting a hand on Reena's arm. "Reena, every woman goes through this the day they're married. I considered leaving town before the ceremony could even take place! This is normal, I promise!"
"But not this nervous!" Reena protested, wanting very much to sit down. "I love him so much… What if… what if I can't be there for him? What if I don't turn out to be a good wife?"
"Reena, listen to yourself," Lenaya said, taking Reena's hands in her own. "Reena, look at me. You're not looking at me. If you love him, that's all that matters."
"How can you not be there for him when you always have? Even during those times that you 'despised' him, you were there. When his duty was too overwhelming, you were there. When he was near death… you were there, Reena. I remember the Link before you came. Nothing could make him see the beauty of living. And now, he's getting married. You've saved his life in so many ways, Reena."
Reena couldn't but let a small smile cross her face. She shrugged, not daring to take credit for anything of what the queen had said.
"And don't you deny it," she said firmly.
"But… is it normal to feel like this?" Reena asked.
"No one will ever know why a bride is so nervous on her wedding day," Lenaya assured. "I was the same way and as Anita said, so was she! The worst possible scenarios run through your mind constantly."
"Please tell me they stop," Reena begged.
"Once you start walking down the aisle," Anita assured, "everything just…disappears. I can't even explain it! Just promise me you aren't going to run away."
Reena let out a laugh, "I can promise that much."
"Then we're ready," Anita said with a smile. "At least as ready as you'll ever be."
The door opened with Lera and Ella entering. Ella wore a light pink dress with jeweled flowers all over it. Lera wore a deep blue, simple gown. The two both stared at Reena, smiles on their faces.
"You look really pretty, Princess Reena," Ella said in a hushed voice.
Reena only laughed. "Do you think mom should get into her dress?"
"Yes, I don't think she should wear that," Ella said disapprovingly.
"Thank you, Ella," Anita said, eyeing the young girl. "I'll be back in a moment."
"Well, we're safe now," Lera assured as Anita left. "Everyone, save us is at the Temple of Time."
"Even Link?" Reena asked, wringing her hands.
"That's usually what I mean by everyone," Lera said. "Are you okay, Reena? You're very pale…"
"You should have seen me a few moments before," Reena sighed, sitting down on the edge of her bed. She fingered the beads sewn into the bodice, trying to calm herself. A small hand took hers and Reena couldn't help but smile at Ella's hopeful gaze.
"Are you scared?" she asked.
Reena couldn't deny the truth. "A little."
"Well, don't be," Ella said matter-of-factly. "I saw my mommy's and it wasn't scary at all. Besides-," Ella leaned in closer, "I'll be there!"
Reena hugged Ella, becoming more relaxed as she did so. When she let go, Ella pulled Reena up, leading her out of her room.
"We can't be late, that wouldn't be good," Ella explained. "Link might get worried."
"No, that wouldn't be good," Reena agreed. "But we need to wait for your mom!"
"She knows how to get there," Ella said.
"Well, I don't want to walk there," Anita said, coming from her room and joining the women. She wore the same deep blue dress as Lera.
Reena with Ella's hand tight in hers, along with Lenaya and Anita they made their way to the front of the castle. There a white coach trimmed in gold stood waiting. A footman opened the door, helping the women in one by one. The door closed and the stallions began their journey to the Temple of Time.
Reena gazed out the window, watching as they passed hundreds of people lining the streets. So much for the small wedding idea. But this hadn't been unexpected. They knew no matter what word would slip on when their wedding day would be. However, Reena wasn't expecting Goron's, Zora's, Deku Shrubs, and even…some Kokiri!
As she scanned the enormous crowd, her eyes lingered for a certain figure. She didn't know why. Nabooru wouldn't come. After all, she was disgracing every law of the Gerudo by getting married. Nabooru had probably burned the letter announcing their wedding day.
"I always knew he was going to take my best officer!"
Reena's head jerked to the left. A smile spread across her face and she couldn't help but salute to her commanding officer. Nabooru shook her head from her position crouched on top of the houses, but had to return it. With that she disappeared with her guards, slipping into a house.
The carriage came to a stop and the door was opened. Anita and Ella exited first, waiting along the petal-laden path. Lera followed and then Lenaya. The moment Reena emerged, holding her skirt and bouquet, a roar erupted.
"Hmm, do you think Link will know I'm here?" Reena whispered to Lera who hid a laugh behind her hand.
"Not at all," she answered, joining Anita and Ella.
Lenaya took Reena's arm, the two following after Anita and Ella. At the door, her father waited, a smile on his face. Reena passed from Lenaya to Jerold.
"Well, here it goes," he said, smiling down on her.
"Don't remind me," Reena begged. "I'm nervous enough as it is!"
"Don't be," Lenaya said, entering the Temple of time.
Reena took a deep breath, clutching onto her father's arm. She closed her eyes as they stepped from the blinding sun into the Temple of Time.
*astrix astrix astrix*
Link looked down at the tunic. Had his father worn this on his parents' wedding day? When he had seen himself in the tunic, for a moment he thought his father had been looking back at him. A small smile came to his face. He knew they were here.
The Temple of Time hummed with a silent energy. The familiar chant Link had grown accustomed to with each visit still floated in the air. However, this visit was much different than the previous ones. No Master Sword accompanied. None of his weapons accompanied him. His green tunic was replaced with the royal blue tunic with the silver Hyrule Crest of his honorary title and his calm composure replaced with anxiety.
Hylian guards formed a path from the door to the altar where he stood waiting. In rows up to the altar were the honored guests, among them Darunia, his guards and Gorons from Termina, The Deku Shrub king with his court and the princess, Saria and her closest friends, and even Zora's had come from their havens in Termina and Hyrule. However, for some reason Princess Ruto hadn't been able to arrive.
Few Hylian's were inside the temple, including Kasten, Tarin, and Caris stood next to Link with Salderin guards flanking the altar on either side. Impa stood on the opposite side of the altar for the long awaited bride. The Great Fairies were also present. They floated in the air behind the altar and in front of the Door of Time. Outside the Temple King Jerold waited for the women who had yet to arrive.
Link couldn't remember a time he had ever been so apprehensive. Standing in front of the King and Queen for the first time had been terrifying though. The same anxiety ran in his veins, but not the fright.
A muffled roar slipped past the Temple's hum. Link's hands began to tremble slightly. He knew what that meant. They were finally here.
"Nervous?" Kasten asked.
"What makes you say that?" he answered.
Kasten only shrugged with a grin. Link ran a hand through his hair, jerking as the doors opened. The bright sun blinded him, allowing his eyes to see only outlines. As the figures made their way into the Temple, Link recognized Ella and Anita followed by the Queen who was escorted by a guard. Once they had found their places beside the altar, the doors closed behind the last three people to enter.
Link was throttled back to the night of the ball when he his eyes had fallen upon Reena. Only it seemed that she had out done herself, if that was even possible. Link reasoned it was probably because of the occasion that made her look a thousand times more beautiful.
He swallowed as Reena made her way down the aisle, escorted by her father and with Lera holding her long train. Even with the veil covering her face, Link noticed she was looking downward. He couldn't help but smile. At least he wasn't the only one that was a nervous wreck. Her eyes lifted from the floor meeting his and the breath in his chest was whisked away.
Reena thought her knees were going to give out when she saw his smile. He had always had that affect on her, but why now? Now was not one of her strong points with her reactions being so unpredictable! She was afraid her legs would buckle as the King handed her off to him. Her smile grew when she felt his trembling hand clasped in hers.
"You look beautiful," he whispered in her ear as they ascended to stairs to the altar.
As they faced each other, Reena found that she couldn't stop smiling like a complete idiot. Thank the goddesses the veil hid her face for the most part.
"You know, those floating jewels to our left are very distracting," Reena whispered as the priest began the ceremony. "Nice job."
Link had to use every ounce of self restraint to keep from laughing. Leave it to Reena to try to have him make a fool of himself on their wedding day. Then again, she always looked for the opportune moment.
Through his mind, their adventures together played out. From the moment he had met her on that lonely night, something had told him deep inside life would never been the same. But he never knew how it was going to change and now, he was getting married. Something he had never even dreamed of. Something he had been too scarred from the past to dream of.
"Link, Repeat after me," the priest said interrupting his thoughts. "I, Link Teris..."
"I, Link Teris…"
*astrix astrix astrix*
"…Until death do us part," Reena recited, her voice trembling as she slid the gold band onto Link's hand cradled in her own.
"With the power of the goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore, I pronounce you husband and wife," the priest said and turned to Link. "You may now kiss the bride."
Reena held her breath as Link lifted the veil away. The smile on his face made her feel as if nothing could ever go wrong again. And she knew nothing ever would the moment he cupped her chin and gently kissed her.
A roar rose in the air, becoming more deafening as those outside began to catch on. The Goron's beat their chests, the Zora's let loose their melodious songs of praise, Hylian's cheered, Deku Scrubs chirped, Kokiri jumped up and down, and the Great Fairies' laughter all echoed.
Under it all, Link pulled Reena close to him. She looked up at him, never knowing she could ever know such joy. It felt as though she would burst by just seeing the happiness on his face.
"We're married," Link breathed.
"Yes," Reena answered, smiling.
The two looked out at the cheering crowd, then at each other. They made a run down the aisle flanked by the guards who now had their swords raised. The doors opened before them and the cheering only became louder. Link and Reena continued to run, laughing. Link helped Reena into the white carriage, climbing in next to her. She threw her bouquet out her window and over the carriage as it headed towards the town center of Hyrule.
Link and Reena watched the maidens all run after the roses. The two laughed as the bouquet fell into the unsuspecting hands of Lera. She turned around, taking Kasten's hand and everyone witnessed Princess Lera's first open kiss.
*astrix astrix astrix*
The celebration in Hyrule was colossal. Hundreds of colorful lanterns hung everywhere, casting light when the sun began to go down. Streamers were draped across the buildings, creating a canopy of the rainbow. Small fairies floated everywhere in the air, teasing the occasional guest. Music and dancing lasted late into the night and fireworks lit the sky.
Reena removed her veil and long train, transforming her wedding gown into the perfect ball gown. Once night had fallen, the two started off the dancing. As they swept across the square, Reena felt as though she was in a dream.
"So… now what?" she asked, looking up at him.
"Well… I'm not sure," Link admitted. "We're out of a job so I couldn't tell you what next…"
"Great, we've gotten the marriage part over with but now we're stuck," Reena said. "How typical."
"But we made it to the marriage part," Link pointed out. "That's a miracle in itself."
"Too true," Reena laughed. "We still haven't decided on our holiday…"
"Um… honestly I was… almost dreading it," Link admitted. Reena nearly burst out laughing. "Well, our last 'holiday' didn't go too well!"
"I think we'll be okay this time," Reena assured as the song ended.
Another song started up again and people began to flock to the square as Link and Reena sat under the awning especially for them. Ella skipped over to them, jumping on Link's lap.
"See! It wasn't so bad, Princess Reena!" Ella said.
"Thank you, Ella," Reena said, receiving a quizzical look from Link. "Was it just like your mom's?"
"No, because you didn't where a purple dress," Ella sighed. "And you also don't have a baby in your tummy. But you still look very pretty."
Reena knew she couldn't meet Link's gaze. If she did, she'd lose herself completely.
"Are there some matters you've been keeping from me?" Link whispered.
"Later," she answered. "Ella, would you like this dance?"
Ella jumped to the ground in delight, pulling Reena onto the 'dance floor'. Link laughed, watching as Reena and Ella curtsied to each other. He was quite intrigued about the conversation between the two girls.
As he watched Reena, he captured the picture in his mind forever. The picture of her and Ella holding each other's hands and dancing was priceless. Her face was glowing as she talked with Ella. Link smiled as Reena twirled Ella. Numerous times throughout the song, her eyes met his. At the end, the two curtsied again to each other before Ella was whisked away by Tarin.
Reena turned to head back to Link, only to find him behind her, waiting. He bowed to her, holding a hand out to her. Reena laughed, remembering the ball.
"Alright, how can I say no to that?" she asked, taking a hold of her skirt and his hand.
"I've found a new weapon," Link said, kissing her. "And just what was that conversation about? A purple dress? And are you supposed to be pregnant?"
Link nearly had to stop the dance from Reena's sudden outburst of laughter.
"Just what don't I know?" he demanded.
"Well, the purple dress is from a story Ella told me, Lera, and Anita. She was at Anita and Tarin's wedding," Reena explained. Link eyed her. "This had actually turned out to be another wedding she had attended when she was three. Anita had worn a purple dress. Ella believes, no she knows, she was at Anita's wedding."
"…I see…" Link said. "And you being pregnant? Is there something you need to tell me?"
"Ella also believed that Anita was pregnant with Caris during her 'wedding'," Reena said. "And wants to know why I'm not."
"…How did you explain that to a six year old?" Link asked.
"That's when Anita did a marvelous job of redirecting Ella's train of thought," Reena said.
"Maybe after tonight she won't feel so let down," Link said, a glint in his eyes.
"You're bad," Reena said with a teasing smile. "Is that all you can think about?"
Link paused for a moment. "Yes. The wedding part is over. My mind's not preoccupied with stressing over that."
"You were stressing too?" Reena asked, relief flooding over her. "I wasn't the only one losing my mind?"
Link shook his head. "I don't know why I was nervous…"
"For once I wasn't nervous about some catastrophic event happening," Reena said, shocked that the statement was true.
"You'll need to write that down for the record," Link said, smiling. "That will never happen again."
"Well, you never know," Reena admitted. "We're out of a job after all."
"For how long?" Link inquired, twirling her.
"Good question," Reena decided. "But what else could be out there?"
"I don't think we want to know," Link said. "Some idiot bent on taking over."
"Well, at least the Triforce of Power is locked in the Temple of Time," Reena said.
"For now," Link pointed out. "Who knows when someone else goes crazy and tries to take over the world?"
"We'll worry about that when it comes," Reena said, kissing him as the music ended. "But I don't think it'll happen any time soon. And if it does-"
"We'll tell someone else to sort it out," Link finished, escorting her off the 'dance floor'. "Because I'm sick of worrying about you dying!"
"Alright, deal," Reena said, sitting on his lap. She laid her head against his and wrapped her arms around his neck. A smile crept across her face as he took her hand in his, placing the other on her waist.
"You realize you're stuck with me now, right?" Link asked, looking up at her.
"Good, let your silly curse throw whatever it's got left at me," Reena said.
"I don't think it has anything left anymore. You've tired it out," Link said.
"And about damn time."
*astrix astrix astrix*
The sunlight pried at Reena's eyes, beckoning her to awaken. She let out a sigh, opening her eyes. A smile spread across her lips as her head moved with Link's quiet breathing. She lifted her head from his stomach, watching him sleep. The sunlight made everything picture perfect.
With a yawn, Reena gazed out the window of their room in Stock Pot Inn. The sun was beginning to rise, splashing its light on Termina. It hardly seemed possible that they had been married only the day before. It seemed as though they had been for years.
Link sighed as Reena kissed him. A quiet laugh came from her, remembering his expression last night when she suggested Termina as the beginning of their holiday. He had forgotten about her power of transportation. After all, he had only experienced it with Sheik. His look was even greater the moment she took his hand and brought them to Termina at two in the morning.
When they had left, the celebration was still lasting. Reena wouldn't be surprised if it was still taking place when they returned! She never thought in a hundred years her wedding would cause such an uproar!
Reena laid her head back down, smiling at the hand that rested on her side. She pulled the covers around her more, concealing herself as best she could in case of any unexpected visitors. A blanket of sanctuary wrapped around her as Link's other hand rested on her head. Sleep took her again as last night's long awaited events played through her head.
Sheesh, leave it to Reena to make jokes at the altar. Not as bad as her husband though,oh Link, you're kinda a pervert. And yes, you read that right, that was Lera's first OPEN kiss ;)
Oh. By the way. Remember way back in chapter 9 when Link and Reena were discussing marriage and art? Right at the end there. If not, go back and re-read it. Anyways, when I wrote that I was originally gonna have Link write Reena poetry. Kind of a "Me writing poetry is as unlikely as you geting married, well guess what? You're getting married, so I wrote you some poetry." So from that moment on I attempted to write some Link to Reena poetry. I still haven't come up with anything. As you can no doubt tell, I'm a horrible poet. So instead of poetry, you get a lame message like "thank you for today." It pales in comparisson to poetry. Thats why this chapter took so long, a last attempt to write something. So you see, I would be eternally greatful if one of my adoring fans would be so kind as to write me a poem. It doesn't have to be very long. You could write your review in poem form, or come up with something better than "thank you for today." If anyone were to do that for me, it would make my day. And you would be my favorite person ever. But you know, you don't have to, it would just be more fun for me. Please?
