Chapter Eight: The Wedding
Serena was taking one final look at herself before she heard the music begin, a sad look on her face.
'Oh no! I'm late!' she thought. 'Wait a minute, what do I care if I'm late for my wedding with him?'
A chill crept up her spine as she remembered what he had said the day before.
"If you are so much as a minute late, or don't show up at all, you can say good bye to your Sailor pals!"
She quickly picked up her bouquet of black roses as she slipped on her shoes and ran for the ballroom.
Her dress was black with long sleeves. A rubber band of some sort held the end of her sleeves against her arm with a little bit flaring out. White dark moons were along the edges of the dress. The top was tight to her body while the bottom was poofy with black lace on it.
Instead of her traditional "meatball" hairstyle, her hair was in a tight bun with one curly strand by each of her temples.
Serena gently smoothed down her dress.
'Here goes nothing,' she thought as she pushed open the doors, not noticing a sign on one of them.
Sapphire was performing the service, although Serena didn't know why. Emerald was Serena's Maid of Honor and the Wise Man was Diamond's Best Man.
(Outside the palace)
"They're here!" Mars said. "I can feel it!"
"Let's go inside!" commanded Pluto.
"Right!" yelled the rest.
Once inside, Jupiter asked to no one in particular, "Which way now?"
Three halls were in front of them.
"Just follow the dull music," Amy said after analyzing each hallyay.
(Inside the ballroom)
"Diamond, do you take Serenity, to be your queen?" asked Sapphire.
"Yes," he said without hesitation.
Sapphire turned to Serena, "Serenity, and do you take Diamond to be your husband?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," she mumbled and then piped up, "Yes."
"If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace," said Sapphire in a final tone.
The doors burst open and the scouts yelled, "We do!"
(Outside the ballroom)
Venus was reading the not to all.
"It says… "Only object if nine people agree.""
"We've got nine!" Saturn shrieked with enthusiasm.
As they opened the door, they heard Sapphire speaking.
"If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace."
"We do!" they shouted.
"That means Serena said yes!" muttered Darien to himself as he snuck back to the capsule.
***
"My note says that you must have nine people!" Diamond sneered.
"Who's missing?" they asked, all looking around.
"Darien," Serena mumbled.
"See, so we will be married," Diamond grinned.
"I object," a soft voice said.
"What?!" Emerald, Diamond, Sapphire, and Wise Man yelled.
"I said, I object!" Serena repeated a little louder. She then transformed and started throwing attacks at him as the other scouts had started doing. Diamond started to prepare a powerful attack…
Just then, a rose flew by
(In the capsule)
"Darien," Queen Serenity said. "Let me show you the truth."
Darien then saw a few events that happened and why Serena had said yes.
"I've got to help!"
He saw Diamond preparing an attack and threw a rose.
***
The rose landed in the center of the energy ball just as Diamond was about to release it.
Upon impact, the energy ball exploded, killing Emerald, Sapphire, Diamond, Wise Man, and the droids.
(The next day at the temple)
"Here you go, Serena."
"Darien, what is this?" asked Serena as she opened the box.
Inside the box was a silver charm bracelet. All the charms were yellow crescent moons.
"Happy Birthday!" he said.
"You remembered!" she exclaimed.
He nodded silently.
They then drew into a long, passionate kiss. After they walked towards the others.
"Now that's what I had in my pocket, Raye," Darien said.
"Since when is it your birthday?" Raye asked.
"Since the day I was born," Serena answered.
