Cure Peach has gotten married. The ceremony was nothing special, pageantry unfolded according to the standard scripts. Miki and Inori, Love's closest friends since childhood, participated as bridesmaids; Setsuna, her sister by adoption, was the maid of honor. Onikichi, the groom's boisterous but slightly dim cousin, served as the best man.
Where the ceremony was ordinary, the reception is less so. Oh, certainly there is a feast. Sandwiches, fresh peaches and nectarines, meat and cheese, cake. For those of drinking age, champagne. For the others, peach juice. The tables are arrayed around the edges of the hall, leaving a large opening on a hardwood floor.
When the bride and groom join the reception, the reason becomes clear. Love has traded out her white wedding gown for a different style of dress, one which is mostly pink with black highlights, better emphasizes her figure and is easier to move in. Aoshi is still wearing his tuxedo, but with the addition of a black cape lined with dark blue. The lights dim throughout the reception hall, and a spotlight shines on the newlywed couple at the center of the floor.
This is the cue for the music. Violins, double bass, piano, flute, and clarinet. The ensemble's presence had been concealed from the guests, but the music is distinctive, and the first dance is unmistakable.
The first dance is a passionate tango.
