==
"So who'd you invite?" Relena sat behind Dorothy, calmly brushing her hair.
Quatre had shared the Duo/Switch-of-Heart story with Dorothy and Relena shortly before the wedding; he needed to make sure that nothing would break out.
.
"Although, we wanted to give Duo a little surprise, I'm afraid we came to a final conclusion. Even though we've all drifted since their break-up we're only going to invite Hilde. Alright?"
Dorothy nodded, her fingers twisted and crossed behind her back. "Right."
.
It would be set; Hilde would be invited because of her relationship with the girls.
"Whatever do you mean Relena? You know perfectly well that I would only act on Duo's behalf." Dorothy neatly placed her last strand in the perfect place; she stood up, not looking back at Relena's shocked though professional face.
"Relena. who do you think I invited?" She looked back at Relena's shimmering lilac dress. Dorothy cocked her brow awaiting an answer from Relena.
As Cathy and Sally walked in, matching strapless dresses with a lilac finish, Relena answered, almost biting back. "The person who would be best on Duo's behalf."
Dorothy looked at all the girls aligned in front of her one last time before finishing off her conversation with Relena. "That is exactly who I invited."
==
"Heero, I apologize about matching you up with Cathy. Dorothy and I made a deal that she'd pick the Female Party I'd pick the Male Party. It just so happened to work out that way." Quatre looked at the boy standing behind him through the mirror, both of them making final adjustments to their suits.
Heero looked at him, Indigo plainly staring at Greenish-Blue, there was no bite. "Don't worry about it." Quatre smiled and looked at his surroundings.
The Maxwell Church stood around him, rebuilt and remade to perfection, real sunlight drifting through the stained glass.
Dorothy now sat in the room across the hall, the thought made him feel better. The Main Aisle stood in the very middle of the two rooms; it would be swept by Dorothy's dress in less than ten minutes. He smiled as Trowa and Wufei walked in.
The Circus Clown stood without a mask today, turning the Desert Prince around to face him. "Where's Duo?"
Black laughed, looking at his watch. "Late."
Trowa raised an eyebrow, mocking the Boy with Black Hair. "And I take it that only the weak are late?"
The Desert Prince laughed and looked over at Wufei, who smiled peacefully, laughing inside. "He should be picking up Hilde."
"Dorothy did invite Hilde right?" Heero was sitting on the Lounge Couch now, next to Wufei, relaxing.
Quatre and Trowa glanced at each other, the Desert Prince answering first. "According to the plan."
The Best Man walked up to the Groom, it was his job today, to take it off the Prince's shoulders, and so that's what he did. "And I'm sure she did." He looked over at Indigo and nodded, it was time to do some research.
==
"Duo did you pick up Hilde?" Heero walked up to meet him at the front of the church.
The Reborn Man stood in the doorway of the Church, taking a deep breath, breathing in the familiar air. "Nothing like a fresh sniff of home. or a replica on earth anyways. Love it anyways."
"Duo." Heero stood in front of him now, a serious look on his face.
The Reborn Man rose his eyebrows, shrugging. "Naw. She said she'd get here herself."
==
2:34 pm.
Hilde tore through her closet looking for the perfect color. At last she picked the perfect color, black and strapless, shimmering with rhinestones. She smiled as she put it on, ready to pucker up her lips to Luscious Red.
As she walked into the bathroom, she messily tossed her bangs to the side with the tightest hold of gel possible.
==
3:54 pm.
"Mezis. Speagule but et's shirty minuts avay! You 'ave shirty minuts tou get dressed! 'Et is absolutelay emposse'bell!! No vone a'live could make zhis tyme!" Gaston wildly flailed his arms in panic.
Violet stood restless in her closest picking out the best color and most beautiful shape to fit her body. "Well then Gaston, you're lucky you're talking to Violet Spiegel then huh?"
She turned around picking her selection, as he bowed and apologized.
"Si si si, Mezis. Speagule.." He stood back up, pulling up a cell phone and a palm-pilot. For the time being he picked at a hangnail in disgust.
She viewed the selection on paper and turned to him, smiling and clasping her hands cutely. Violet took a deep breath and pointed to her selection. "I want the Black Strapless and the Luscious Red."
Pat. He clicked delicately away at his screen; he threw up his arms, again. "But Mezis. Speagule ve ahre all owt."
Violet signed, she threw up her arms this time. The flash stepped in. She wanted fast, so she would get fast. Gritting her teeth, she smiled, looking up to Gaston, questioning. "Gaston, who are you talking to?" Tension.
The Gay Man panicked, but she couldn't complain, about the gaiety. Her Personal Assistant answered behind a palm-pilot. "Ai.. Ai Ai'm tahking tou ze most faymoss Violey Speagule." He bowed another thing, lower.
The tension was lifted, she asked another question. "Thank you Gaston. Now.. What were you saying?"
He stood up straighter this time, watching his every move, enunciating his every syllable correctly, or so he thought. "Ai Ai'm zaying Bulack Straplayuss aind ze Luhsheous Vered. For ze Mezises 'air?"
She sighed anyway. "I want a bun and my bangs to the side." Violet sat back down on her chair, looking into the vanity mirror.
"Si si, vill do, vill do." He bowed, clicking away at his cell phone in a rush.
==
5:30 pm, Women's Restrooms, Wingel Hotel.
"Excuse me but is that Luscious Red?" Violet stepped out of her bathroom stall next to a girl with a Rhine-stoned dress and heels.
The girl looked up and smiled. "Yeah, it is. I just love the color, would you like to use?"
"I would love to, if you don't mind." As Violet finished putting on the lipstick she turned around and thanked her, but to her surprise she had already gone.
She walked out of the bathrooms, looking up the stairs to her right and the stairs to her left, the entrance in between. The Bit-More-Flashy took the left staircase, a shorter way: a two minute walk in heels, than the right: a two and a half minute walk in heels.
Hilde had taken the right staircase, eager to see Duo, she left the Bathrooms about forty seconds ago.
==
5:35 pm, Reception, Wingel Hotel.
And so it ended like that, five hours ago, Quatre and Dorothy pleaded their "I-Do's" to the Lord, as Duo sang the same song that he sang now, while they took their first dance.
Lilac and green forests
Summon you back home.
Rejection is your middle name.
Forever stood your statue.
But only your statue.
Your heart was bound eternally.
To stone.
As he finished, Trowa walked up the stage and made an announcement. "And let's pray that never happens to Quatre and Dorothy." An appreciative laugh could be heard throughout the audience. He continued.
"I would just like to say.."
Duo walked over to Wufei, resting his voice. "Hey, you know those two stairways? Which one leads where?" He leaned back on the wall, the same as Wufei.
Black held up his champagne glass and took a sip, as the crowd erupted in cheers, clinks of crystal could be heard throughout the room. Duo looked at him before he could answer. "Cheers." Clink. Nod.
"I think the right leads behind the Head Table and the Left to the entrance. Wouldn't know, I took the Elevator."
"There was an Elevator?"
Wufei nodded while Duo shrugged.
"Wouldn't know, I used the Escalator." Cobalt Blue looked into a sea of dark.
Clink. Wufei took a sip as Heero finished his little speech, ending in more Clinks. He looked up at Duo, they had played this game before. "There was an Escalator?"
.
Violet walked up the stairs, faster than she usually would have, almost tripping. "Whoa." She paused to regain herself, looking up as she rested. "Hey look.. An Escalator.. Perfect." Violet shrugged and walked up, slower this time.
Hilde rushed into the Elevator panting, she held her stomach and spoke three words. "Level 4 please."
.
Heero sat back down and turned around to Relena. "Did she invite Hilde?"
Relena looked back at him and smiled softly, she rested her head on his shoulder and nodded softly.
The Desert Prince sat at the top of the head table, next to his wife. He turned her around then spoke. "So who'd you invite?"
Dorothy laughed. "When are you going to trust me?" She sighed and rolled her eyes, she was unprofessional tonight, enjoying her time. With a final giggled she answered. "Both."
This time the Desert Prince took his Queen by the hands. "Dorothy, both who?"
Giggle. "Both of them of course."
Greenish-Blue to Purple, pleading. "Both of them who?"
"Both." She smiled sweetly then turned around to a pair of Luscious Red lips.
And then it happened without the slightest hit of Tension, Sips, Clicks or Purs; Duo turned to the Hall Entrance to see the most beautiful woman with Luscious Red Lips he had ever seen.
==
A/N: Ugh, this stupid Epilogue took me from 11 at night to 3 in the morning! Haha, and I'll tell you, I think I did a pretty job confusing you! Ugh, pain in the patella. Oh well, who cares! It's finished! =) Doesn't matter, I really liked the way it turned out. so I'll probably be writing another one. =) But hey, for the time being, pick a few hangnails, read some more, leave a few reviews.. Ya know? =) Thanks for reading!
