~*~*~*~*~*~*The Morning of the Wedding Day - Darien's POV~*~*~*~
I got out of bed dreading today, for I knew that it was Andrew and Serena's wedding day. Today would be the day that I've lost all hope of ever getting Serena back.
I look up at the mirror and see my own reflection. I look totally disgusting. My hair is all messy and you can clearly see the bags and lines underneath my eyes for I hardly got any sleep last night. For last night I was up debating to myself if this was all just a really bad dream or if it was for real.
~Flashback~
I was tossing and turning in bed last night, unable to sleep. I knew that if I were to fall asleep, the faster tomorrow would come, and the faster that tomorrow came, the faster I would lose Serena. I was so tired from not getting much sleep lately that I wasn't sure whether I was actually awake or sleeping. At first I thought that I was dreaming this whole scenario, and eventually I would wake up and Serena would once again be in my arms. But I knew that that would never happen again.
After a long debate with myself, I finally concluded that yes it was real, that the two of them were marrying; I debated over whether or not I should object to this. It seemed very appealing to object, but then what would happen afterwards? Would Serena jump into my arms, smothering me with kisses, saying that she's glad that I stopped the ceremony? Maybe she would say that it was all a big mistake and that she still loved me... or maybe... Maybe she truly does love Andrew and wants to be with him... What if she got mad at me and never talked to me ever again? A girl's wedding day is the most special day of their lives, of course she'd hate me if I interrupted it....
"Argh! This is frustrating" Darien said out loud to himself.
It took all night before I finally realized that Serena had chosen Andrew over me, and that I should respect her decision. All I really want is for her to be happy. It would be really good if she could be happy with me, but if she's happy with Andrew, then so be it. With that thought, he was a little more at ease at himself and fell asleep.
~End of Flashback~
Now he looks back at his own reflection dreading the events that will happen today.
"Remember Shields, you just want her to be happy." He said to himself.
With that thought in mind, Darien started to get dress and made his way to church gloomily.
~*~*~*~*~*~*At the church~*~*~*~
"Oh my!" Ilene said. "Serena honey, you look beautiful, just like a porcelain doll."
"Oh mom, I'm so nervous. What if Andrew changes his mind? Are you sure about this?" Serena asked, uncertain of herself and the situation.
'What if Andrew did change his mind? What if he decided that he didn't want to marry her and be a father? Would he actually leave her at the altar on their wedding day? Would he actually embarrass her in front of her friends and family? What would happen then?' Serena thought to herself, but her mother interrupted her thoughts before she could think of any more 'What if' questions.
"Serena honey, it'll be fine. Everything will be perfect. Andrew won't change his mind; he loves you too much. And he'd be crazy if he were to change his mind." Ilene said reassuringly to her daughter as she gave her a hug.
"Oh mom, you're the best."
*knock knock*
"Come in" Serena replied.
"So is the bride almost ready?" Ken asked as he popped his head into the dressing room.
"Yes daddy. How are Andrew and the girls doing?" Serena asked.
"Andrew's all ready and the girls are just about finish. Oh, here they come now."
"Serena girl! You look gorgeous!" Lita squealed as the girls started to pile into the room.
"You girls look really good too!" Serena said.
"Ya Serena, you can't even tell that you're pregnant." Mina said.
*Smack*
"Mina!" screamed all the girls?
"What?!" Mina replied confused and oblivious to what she just said.
"Anyways.. Serena, I still can't believe that you're getting married today!" Amy said trying to change the topic.
"I know! This is crazy!" Lita said, "It's just not going to be the same anymore, you'll be too busy with your honey to hang out with us"
"No I won't. Nothing's going to change! We'll always hang out together. Besides, how am I supposed to get any rest or sleep without you girls there to help me baby-sit?" Serena teased.
" I don't think so Meatball Head. I'm not baby-sitting for you!" Raye protested.
"If Raye won't baby-sit, we will!" Lita and Mina said at the same time.
"We should get ready to walk down the aisle. We don't want the groom to wait too long now should we?" Amy said as she realized that it was starting to get late.
"You're right. Let's go!" Serena said.
With that, they all left the bridal room and walked into the main entrance of the church.
*music starts to play*
"This is it girls, it's our cue. Now let's go!" Raye said as the girls and their escorts all got in position.
~*~*~*~*~*Andrew's POV~*~*~*~*~
'Oh wow, I can't believe that today's the day' Andrew thought to himself. 'I hope that everything goes well. Hopefully nothing un-expecting will happen.'
*music starts to play*
"Good it's starting" Andrew whispered to himself. If he had to wait any longer, he would have gone insane. As he got more and more nervous with each passing second, he could see the ring boy and flower girl, both of which are his little cousins, start to walk towards the back of the church.
Then next was Amy who was escorted by Greg, Lita with Ken and Mina with Chad. Next were the best man and maid of honour, Darien and Raye. After they made their way to the back of the church, the bridal march began. In walked Serena with her father escorting her. Time seemed to have slowed down as Andrew saw his future bride and father in law walk towards him. She was breathtaking in her dress, and she walked down the aisle very gracefully and elegantly. Finally, after an eternity they reached their mark. Andrew could detect the nervousness that Serena had so he turned to her and smiled at her reassuringly and reached out to hold her hand as they stood there and waited for the priest to start the ceremony.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God to join together this Man, Andrew Motoki Furuhata, and this Woman, Serena Usagi Tsukino, in holy matrimony; which is an honourable estate, instituted of God in Paradise, and into which holy estate these two people present come now to be joined. Therefore if any man can show any just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him speak now, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace."
Everyone held their breath at that moment, hoping that nothing will interrupt the happy young couple.
"Good, now we can proceed." The priest started to say, but was interrupted.
"WAIT!"

Yes I know, I'm very mean for stopping at the cliffhanger, but it just seemed the perfect place to stop. Thanks again for reading and reviewing!
