"I can't believe you want me to ware this." Mark said as he stared
into the full-length mirror.
"Mark it's just a tuxedo and you like very sharp it in." Tom said as
she strengthen Marks tie. It was a classic black tuxedo with a tail. It had
a red and gold trim. Though the suit was fitted for him Mark stood there
very uncomfortable.
"Why can't I just ware what I was wearing before?" He looked over at
his Atticus shirt.
"Because your being knighted and this is what knights ware."
"I thought they wore shining armor and what not."
"Not here. Anyways it's not like your going into battle."
"Well how come you don't have to ware one?"
"Well one I'm not a knight I'm a scout. Two you don't want to ware
what I have to ware."
"Oh, lets see what you have to ware."
"Don't make fun of me." Tom said as he opened up his closet door. She
pulled out a yellow strapless puffy dress.
"You have to ware a dress!" Mark laughed.
"Mark have you forgotten that I am in fact a girl. Anyways I have to
ware it. I'm a princess, its expected."
"Princess?"
"All sailor scouts are princess of the planets they're protecting."
"Oh, well put it on."
"Get out of here. I don't want you watching me get ready."
"Come on Tom." Mark steps closer to her. "It's not like I haven't
seen you naked before." He kissed her gently on the lips.
"Out." Tom said when they broke apart.
"Fine." Mark left Tom to get ready in privet. He stared down the
hallway and saw Travis step out of his room. He wore an identical tux but
with blue and sliver trim. "Hey Travis down here!" Mark shouted down the
hall.
"Hey, Mark. Looking sharp. Where's Josie."
"Who?"
"You know that's Lovers real name don't you."
"Hang on, Tom's name is actually Josie."
"Yep."
"How did you find out?"
"Kakyu."
"Ha, well I guess I know why Tom keep on pushing the name Josie for
that song."
"Yeah, were is she."
"Getting ready. She has to ware a dress."
"Oh I want to see this." The door slowly opened. Tom/Josie peak her
head out of the door.
"Guys don't make fun of me please." She said as she step out.
"Damn girl!" Travis said as he saw Tom in the full-length ballroom
gown.
"You look amazing." Mark said in shock.
"Really." Tom started to blush. "You think it looks alright."
"I've never seen anything more gorgeous." Mark said as he wrapped his
arms around her.
"Ok that's enough of that." Travis turned his head as Mark and Tom
started making out.
"Come on guys it's time." Yaten appeared behind Travis. "You don't
want to be late."
The ceremony was taking place in the castles great hall. It was
filled with all sorts of important people that none of the blink members
knew. There was a stage like area were the actually knighting would be
taking place. Kakyu stood center stage with Seiya and Taiki on her right
and Tom and Yaten on her left. They all wore identical dress in different
colors. Mark and Travis stood in front of the Kinmoku queen.
"For your aid in the Sailor Wars I grant you each a power of a
Kinmoku Knight." Travis glanced at Mark to see if he had any idea what she
was taking about. He didn't. Kakyu held two metals. One gold and the other
silver. "Mark, I bless you with the element of fire." When she placed the
metal around his neck Mark got a warm feeling all over his body. There was
a ruby looking stone in the center of the metal. When it touched Marks
chest it started to shine. "Travis, I bless you with the element of wind."
Travis felt a cold feeling through out his body and the blue stone on his
metal began to shine. "Please kneel Mark and Travis." Seiya handed Kakyu a
sword. She lightly tapped it their shoulders. "And raise Sir Mark and Sir
Travis." The crowd cheered as the two stood up. Tom quickly went up to Mark
and hugged him.
"Tom, I have something I want to ask you." Mark looked into Tom's eyes.
"Go a head." Tom noticed Mark shaking in fear.
"Well I figured I already knelt once today." He got down on one knee.
"Thomas DeLonge, Sailor Star Lover, Princess Josie," Tom blushed when she
heard Mark say her real name. "I know your name is long enough but would
you mind ending it all with Hoppus." He pulled out a small box out of his
pocket and opened it. There was a platinum ring with diamonds inlaid inside
(a ring that works for both guys and girls). "Will you marry me?"
"Yes!" Tom shouted as she bent down and kissed Mark. He stood up and placed
the ring on her fingerer. "Call me that again. Call me by my real name
again."
"Oh Josie!" They kissed passionately as the crowd cheered them on. Travis
stood to side of the stage and smiled.
"Good for you guys." He said quietly to himself. He looked to the ground
and felt so alone. He turned to Kakyu who had a smile on her face but a sad
look in her eye. She to felt alone too. She glanced at Travis and her smile
grew bigger. They both started to blush.
"Do you want to go for a walk?" Travis whispered to Kakyu.
"Sure." They slipped out of the great hall without being noticed do to
everyone's attention was still on the newly engaged couple. Travis and
Kakyu walked out onto the balcony that over looked the ocean. It was night
but do to Kinmokus twin purple moons they could see each other clearly.
"This place is amazing." Travis said as he leaned up against the balcony.
"I've never seen a sky like this." Beside the moons the sky was filled with
stars, at least three times more then on earth.
"Your planet is lovely too. I wished I could of seen more of it."
"Well then should come visit us on earth. I can show you around."
"I wish I could but I have my duties here on this planet."
"Oh come on. You're the Queen you can take a couple of days off."
"I can't take a couple of days off because I'm Queen. I truly wish I could
thou. I would love to take holiday once and a while but I have a lot of
responsibilities here."
"Well why don't you just take tomorrow off and spend the day with me. You
can show me your planet and I can tell you about mine."
"Travis I would love to but I have a schedule I have to work through." She
said disappointed.
"Come on you can take one day off let someone else handle the ruling for
the day." He whined
"Well it is peace time and I can move that speech to another day."
"So you will?"
"I would love to."
"All right! Don't worry about anything. I take care of everything. I'll
make sure your one day off will be one not to forget."
"Ok, but Travis what do you plan on doing. You don't know anything about
this planet."
"Oh I'll think of something." Travis smiled slyly.
"Here you guys are." Mark stepped out onto the balcony. "Kakyu some senator
guy is looking for you."
"Oh I forgot I needed to talk to him. I'll see you tomorrow Travis." She
quickly re-entered the great hall.
"What was that about? Putting moves on the princess?" Mark joked.
"Shut up." Travis started to blush.
"Shit, you are! Go Travis! You and I most have the same taste in girls. We
both like alien royalty." Mark laughed
"Yeah but I'm not into the whole sex changing thing like you are. Oh
and congrats man. I'm really excited for you."
"Oh yeah I almost forgot. Would you like to be my best man?"
"Of course. I think I fit the job title pretty well."
"No not really its just Tom already has a role in the wedding." Mark
gave him a friendly punch in the shoulder.
"Yeah and the whole best man thing wouldn't work." Travis returned
the punch.
"But seriously how are you guys going to do this? You guys can't have
a huge wedding or anything it going to have to be a secret. Unless you want
it to look like the two of you are gay."
"See Travis that is why were having it here."
"Here on Kinmoku!"
"Yeah, why not? We can do the whole big wedding thing and not have to
worry about Tom being found out that he's an alien cause technically were
the aliens here."
"But when? I thought we were only staying for a week?"
"Tom and I talked and we don't mind rushing to get this done. I mean
why wait?"
"I guess that makes sense. But there's a lot of stuff you guys have
to do."
"Tom is already talking to some guy that is charge of weddings or
whatever for the castle. They'll take care of everything."
"Wow, you certainly got everything under control. You could pass for
a mature adult."
"I know. It's scary."
