It was a beautiful day in England. The sun was shining and everything was set for a grand wedding. "Ray, what if I trip and fall on my face." Serena asked Ray. "You will not fall on your face. Now lets go before Darien comes out hear and sees you." Ray said as she pulled Serena back into the palace. When the two returned to the palace they noticed the other girls were already dressed and gone. "Well looks like you get to help me get dressed Ray." Serena said. After Ray finished helping Serena she got dressed. That's when Serena noticed Ray was crying. "What's wrong Ray?" Serena asked her as she went over to her. Since the two girls knew each other they had become very best friends over the years and the others didn't know that. "Well it's because after all that time that we sat up and planed out our weddings and we always thought I would be first. Well now your first and I'm just so happy for you." Ray said as she smiled up at Serena. "Thank you Ray. That's the one reason I asked you to be my maid of Honor. Cause your my best friend and I really appreciate that. Serena said as she hugged Ray. "Now your eyeliner and mascara are running and Mina's not hear to fix it." Serena said as she and Ray began to laugh. On the other side of the palace Mike and Mina were walking around. "Oh I cant believe Serenity is finally going to marry Darien. Those two have had their hearts set on hating each other but they knew I could see through it." Mina said as she looked at Mike. "I know it was something wasn't it. Those two always said they hated each other. I remember that so long ago. Cause that was when I first fell in love with you." Mike said as he bent down and kissed Mina tenderly on the lips. "Mina, I love you so much. I don't know how I survived during the time you were gone both of them." Mike told her. "I love you too Mike. But lets not dwell on the past. There is a wedding to have fun at." Mina said smiling as she heard the trumpets sound off signaling it was time for the wedding to begin and that all were to report to their assigned areas at once. "Well I'll see you in a few." Mina said to Mike as she kissed him softly and left. In another part of the palace Darien was pacing back and forth. *Something's not right I know it. Something's very wrong but what is it?* he thought to himself as Zach walked into the room. "Your highness are you ready to go?" Zach asked Darien. "Yes I guess." Darien said as he walked out side his rooms and was accompanied by 10 guards. They walked out to the main entrance to the rose garden where there were 20 guards lined up for the passage through to the garden. Darien saw the news media and many of his closes friends that he had grown up with since childhood. He even saw his old CO-worker Dr. Laura Anderson. When the trumpets sounded again for him to walk out to the alter. Each guard raised their swords as he walked forward. Darien had on the royal outfit of France.(see authors note at the bottom) It was a blue and read suite with the royal families crest on the left breast. After he made his way to the alter the trumpets rang again and the others made their way. First to Enter was Andrew and Susan followed by Mina and Mike, Ray and Jed, Lita and Nathan, Amy and Zach, Michelle and Alex(dressed as a guy) each guy came through the entrance on the left and the girls came from the right. Then out of the middle came two guards, one protecting the Crown of England and the other the wedding rings. Right after them was Hanna as the flower girl. She was spreading Red and White rose petals all over the ground. As the guards and Hanna made it to the alter all three bowing and curtsying to Darien the wedding march started. The guards lowered there swords as Alan came through with Serena. Serena looked as lovely as could be expected. She was a splitting image of her mother when she got married. Serena had her hair done in the meatball style that her and her mother were well known for wearing. In the middle of her meatballs sat her princess crown which she knew she was going to give up today to receive the crown of the queen. Her white dress was exquisitely designed. It was a velvet white bodice top with diamond buttons, and a long silk skirt that fell gracefully to the floor. The whole dress was sprinkled with glitter to give it a beautiful glance. In the middle of her crown using clips was a long lace vale covering her face. She looked like the angels that only God could create. When Serena got to the alter she curtsied to Darien who bowed low in return taking her arm and leading her up the steps of the alter to the awaiting priest. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered hear to witness the joining of these two souls, Prince Darien of France and Princess Little Lady Serenity of England, in holy matrimony." The priest began. Darien looked at Serena and smiled happily at his bride. Serena couldn't hold it in and smiled back the love she held for him apparent in her eyes. "If anyone has any reason..." The priest began again but he was interrupted by gunshots. Darien pulled Serena down as a bullet shot her raised arm as she was being pulled down. She screamed in pain as a evil and mechanical laughter was heard. Everyone looked around to see wear the laughter was coming from. Darien looked up and saw Beryl standing there. Ray got up in defiance of Jed's protest and was running over to Serena. "I don't think so." Beryl said as she fired again this time at Ray. Ray screamed in pain as she was shot squarely in the stomach. "RAY!!!!!!!!!" Jed screamed as he crawled over to Ray's bleeding body. Serena saw this and tried to crawl over to Ray as well but Darien held her there.
Ray lay there weekly and crying. Jed reached her in seconds and was holding her up. "Jed, I'm not going to live." Were the first things Ray said. "Yes you will Ray, you'll live you can over come this." Jed told her. She smiled faintly. "No I wont. Jed, listen to me, I want you to go over there," Ray began to cough violently as she said this, "tell her I'm sorry everything turned out to be so bad, tell her that I wish her happiness in the future." Ray said right as she began to cough again but this time blood came out of her throat and all over her already blood read dress. "Ray please hang on for me please." Jed said as he held her up as she kept coughing. "Tell her for me Jed. She's my best friend, tell her I don't want her to weep for me. I was killed doing something that she would have done for me." Ray said weekly her coughing growing more violent with each second. "Ray please?" Jed asked more softly. "I love you Jed." She began she knew her time was closer. "Don't forget me." Ray said with her final breath. Jed held her close and cried.
Jed laid Ray's dead body down and did what she had asked him to do. "Princess, Ray's dead." Jed told her. Serena began to cry even more as she was not by her best friends side. With that she slapped Darien in the face violently. He didn't do anything but just stayed there and took it. "She said she's sorry everything turned out like this and that she wishes you the best. She doesn't want you to cry over her cause she did something that she's proud to do, and that was to save you Princess." Jed said. "Now your highness if you'll excuse me I have some of my own business to take care of. Jed crawled away from Serena and Darien and pulled out the gun all of the Princesses personal guards were to have in this event. "Beryl, this is for Ray." He whispered as he shot one bullet with an aim that was true. Beryl saw that Jed had a gun and fired her aim also true. It was let off right before she was shot in the neck by Jed's shot. Beryl fell to the ground bleeding from the wound in her neck. Jed was shot right in the heart. He fell and then dragged himself over to Ray's body kissing her blood stained lips before he two left this world, to join his beloved in the sanctuary of Heaven.
