"Heero Yui! You put that gun down now! How can you do this to me?" Serena
cried out. She turned back to face the preacher once again, head hung low.

"Look little boy, she's quite willing to marry me. Give it up. She's mine! Her futures
set in stone and she knows it. And there's nothing you or them," he pointed to the senshi,
"Can do or say to change that. Leave now before I'm forced to make you leave."

"Try me."

Serena turned back to Heero, eyes watering from tears and wide from shock.
"Heero, I love you, really I do, but this is how it has to be. I told you. My future's written out
for me already. And even though he hurts me, I have to do this."

Darien grabbed her arm and spun her towards him. "You've said to much Serena,"
he squeezed her arms tighter making her want to cry out in pain, "Shut-up and stand still."

Everything happened at once. Serena slapped Darien soundly across the face,
causing several people to gasp and stand. He threw his fist back to punch her when the gun
went off, causing everyone to panic and run for the door. But then everything froze, the bullet
not even an inch from Darien's forehead.

"Oh my God! What's going on?" Mina asked.

Ami whipped out her mini computer and scanned the room. "It appears as though
everyone is in a state of suspended animation."

"In English Amies," Lita joked.

"Everyone's frozen in place."

"Serena, are you doing this?" Rei questioned.

"No," she replied as Darien stepped away from the bullet, "But I have a pretty good
idea." She stared at Heero. It appeared that he too was frozen in place, but when Darien
moved, so did the gun trained on him.

"Mother!" she called out. Not even two seconds later the former Queen Serenity
and the green haired sailor Pluto stood before her.

"Don't worry my dear," The queen began, hugging her daughter, "We are here to
set things straight. I'm sorry we didn't find it earlier sweetheart, but there seems to have
been a slight mix up."

"A mix up? What?!? What kind of a mix up?" she asked, voice rising.

"Nothing for you to be concerned with just yet. Now Pluto, if you will please."
Pluto nodded and tapped her staff on the floor.

There was a slight tap on the door before Andrew popped his head inside.

"Yes Andrew?" Rei questioned.

`"Umm, all the guest are here. It's just about time."

"Thank you," Serena told him, "Better get going."

"Anyone have the feeling we've done this before?" Lita asked. The others nodded
before hugging Serena and leaving the room.

'I do,' she thought to herself, 'I have to do this again huh mother? I have to do it
right this time. But what did I do wrong? I was going to marry him like I should have.' She
headed towards the door.

'Be happy my daughter,' she heard in her mind as she stepped onto the aisle. She
watched the ground as she walked in time to the music. Every step brought on more dread.
When she got to the alter she glanced at her friends. They all had bright smiling faces. How
could they look so happy? They knew she didn't want this as much as she put on.

She handed her bouquet to Ami and turned to put her hands in his, her eyes never
venturing past his chest.

The preacher cleared his throat before starting, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered
here today to witness the joining of Heero Yui and Serena Johnson…"

But Serena didn't hear the rest. Her head snapped up and she looked into Heero's
beautiful blue eyes.

"Why do you look so sad?" he whispered.

"But I thought… I thought…" she stammered before realization dawned on her. This
is what her mother meant by be happy. 'Oh thank you mother! I most certainly will be!' She
thought before pulling Heero into a deep kiss.

Behind them the preacher stopped talking and blushed. "Um, I'm sorry but we
haven't gotten to that part yet."

Later, at the reception, the senshi presented the bride and groom with a special gift.
Framed in a beautiful frame was the letter Serena had been searching for. The letter that
promised they would marry each other. She wept at this, not tears of sorrow, but tears of
joy for that promise had finally become reality.
