The day was perfect. The sky a beautiful shade of blue. Not a cloud in site to ruin this won
derful day. The church was heavily decorated with beautiful flowers and bows. The guests a
rriving were shown to their seats and chatted happily about the bride and groom.
In a room off the back of the church, things weren't so perfect.
"Please Rena, this is the last chance you have! Please just walk out that door! You'll
be happy! I promise you!" Rei pleated. The other three women in the room nodded in
agreement.
Serena turned from the window she had been looking through, to look at her senshi.
Each one in a dress that was the same style only in a pastel shade of there respected color.
She smiled softly. They were each very beautiful.
"Do not fear my friends," she began, sounding very much like the princess she was,
"This is what's best for me and what's best for everyone. I will make the best of things and
be happy."
"But Rena…" they began, only she turned away to look through the window again.
"I am not afraid. Nether should you be. Trust me, please?" she whispered.
There was a slight tap on the door before Andrew popped his head inside. His smile
was bright but it never reached his eyes. He had known for a long time that Darien was not
in love with Serena. Sure at first it seemed that way, despise their age difference, but as the
years went by, he became this cruel hearted thing that Andrew was ashamed to call his best
friend. He tried to get Darien to break things off with Serena, but he didn't want to let her go
for some odd reason. Andrew was baffled. Here his two friends, who didn't love each other
anymore, were getting married. What was the world coming too?
"Yes Andrew?" Rei questioned.
"Um all the guest are here. It's just about time."
"Thank you," Serena told him, "Better get going."
Each girl hugged Serena before forcing a smile on their faces and leaving the room.
Mina was first to walk down the aisle. 'Look at him,' she thought to herself, 'Just
standing there with that stupid grin on his face. Hopefully this plan will work. That would
knock him off his high pony.' She cast him a dirty look before taking her place across from
him.
Lita was next, not even bothering to smile. In fact, as she approached him she
muttered "bastard" under her breath, but was still audible enough for him to hear. He only
chuckled, which led both girls to give him death glares.
Rei followed. Praying that something horrible would happen to him. Such as the
beam above his head would snap in half and land on him. In fact, she pondered if she could
set the building on fire. Or better yet, him. She didn't even look at him. If she did, she's
probably kill him right then and there.
Ami, being the maid-of-honor, was last. Keeping her head low, she walked as fast
as she could down the aisle.
"If I didn't know any better," Duo said in a whisper, "I'd say they were going to a
funeral." Several people around him agreed.
"For some, this is," Trowa replied.
The wedding march qued as Serena stepped into the aisle. Everyone stood and
turned to gaze upon the blushing bride. Only she wasn't blushing. She had pasted a bright
smile on her face that never reached her eyes.
Stepping in time to the music, she slowly made her way towards the alter, and tried
hard not to cry when she noticed Heero wasn't in the crowd.
"Dearly beloved," the preacher began as soon as she reached them, "We are
gathered here today to witness the joining Darien Shields and Serena Johnson in holy
matrimony. If anyone here objects to this joining, speak now or forever hold your peace."
Nine voices rang out at once, "I do!"
Heero sat in the shadows, in the back of the church. He didn't even know why he
had come. Or why he was even still in town for that reason. He should have stayed home
and left her to her own life. But no, here he was watching her walk towards that bastard that
is going to ruin her life. She wasn't even putting up much of a fight. Did she want to marry
him then? He was temped to interrupt when the preacher asked his question, but when nine
other voices all said, "I do!" he decided to wait and see what would happen.
"Well," the preacher said, "This has never happened before. Please, speak your
say."
"She's not in love with him sir. She loves someone else." Mina said.
"I agree! He doesn't love her either! This is just wrong sir!" Andrew agreed.
"Can you not see she's unhappy? How can you marry them?" Lita asked.
The g-boys stood and shouted their agreements.
The crowd gasped as Darien let out a loud, evil laugh. "I don't see your love
anywhere Sere," he said sarcastically, "Why's he not here for you if you love each other so much huh?"
The sound of the safety on a gun being released made everyone look towards the
center of the aisle.
"Right here," Heero stated in monotone.
*A.N.* Ok, the whole wedding thing not really working for me right now. Not cause I can't make it work, just cause of personal reasons. Sorry it took so long. But the next chapter is the last. Yea!!! Almost done with one fic!!! Go me!! Be kind and help a poor soul. Tell me what you think should happen. Read and review please.
*Hugs and Angel Kisses*
