~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Important Info: Well, this isn't really important, but I just wanted to let you know that I
skipped A LOT of time. It is now the day of the wedding. I know some of you might
think that this fic is going really fast at this point and I'm sorry, but I don't wanna spend
that much time here. If you all want me to keep going, I must get to the good stuff out
now! So yeah. I hope you like it! Remember to review, onegai! ^-^

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Recap:

"Damn that bitch, Selenity. If she didn't exist, this would be easy. If only she was out of
the picture, I'd be able to do this! Come on, Lindz. Think! There's gotta be some way to
break them up." Lindsey threw herself on her bed. She stared at the ceiling for a while,
trying hard to think up a plan to break Selenity and Endymion up. Suddenly, she sat up in
her bed. "Oh.....my.....god!!! Why didn't I think of this sooner?!?!? I don't have to break
Selenity and Endymion up in order to get him. I don't even need to break them up at all!
And Endymion will be forced to be with me and love me. God, why didn't I think of this
sooner? This is _so_ simple!!" An evil smile crossed Lindsey's lips. "Finally, Endymion
will be mine. And it'll be all over for Selenity." Lindsey let out an evil laugh. "I can't
wait for the wedding!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

// The night before the wedding \\

Selenity sat on the edge of her bed, bouncing her leg up and down nervously. Her mother
and the senshi sat all around her.

"Selenity. It's okay. It's pre-wedding jitters. Don't worry about it. It'll be fine." Serenity
said.

"Yeah. Everything's perfect. We've had more than enough practices, and everything is
under control." Ami said.

"That's right. You have nothing to worry about." Makoto added.

"They're right. There's nothing to worry about. The wedding will go off without a hitch!"
Minako said.

"Yeah. Nothing can go wrong tomorrow. Everything is perfect." Rei said. Selenity still
bounced her leg up and down nervously.

"You guys are right. But I'm really nervous. What if something goes wrong? What if we
forget something? What if we forget the bouquet? What if we forget our gowns? What if
our ride to the wedding is late? What if...."

"Selenity! Stop! Stop it with the 'what ifs'! The bouquet is in the bridal room at the
church. The gowns are with Diane. The rides will be here on time. Nothing will go
wrong." Serenity said, trying to calm her daughter down. Selenity took a deep breath and
slowly let it out.

"Okay. Sorry. I'm just really nervous about something going wrong." Selenity explained.

"Well, don't worry. Tomorrow is your wedding day! This is supposed to be one of the
most happiest days of your life! Don't ruin it by worrying so much!" Rei said.

"You're right. But I just can't help it." Selenity said. "Can I be alone for while. I just need
some time to take this all in."

"Sure. We'll be downstairs in the living room if you need us." Serenity said. Selenity just
nodded. They left the room quietly. James saw them leave the room. He approached
Serenity.

"Is everything okay with Selenity?" James asked, a little worried.

"Yeah. Everything's fine. She's just really nervous. She's afraid something will go wrong
tomorrow." Serenity said.

"Oh, she'll be fine." James said reassuringly.

"I know." Serenity said. There was an awkward silence between them again. James
cleared his throat.

"Well, I better get going. You should make sure everything is fine for the wedding
tomorrow." James said.

"I will." Serenity said. "You'll be at the Moon Kingdom Grand Ballroom tomorrow,
decorating it, right?" Serenity asked.

"I already started. We're done with the wall decorations. I'm going to go back soon to
start putting up the tables." James said. Serenity smiled.

"That's wonderful." Serenity said. James slowly nodded his head. "Well, I better go now.
See you tomorrow." Serenity said. James nodded his head again. Soon, they went their
separate ways.

// In Selenity's bedroom \\

Selenity laid in her bed, staring aimlessly at the ceiling. She tried to sort out her thoughts,
but so many things ran through her mind. What if this. What if that. She felt
overwhelmed. She sat up and picked up the phone, dialing Endymion's number.
Endymion went back to his place because of that myth that it's bad luck to see the bride
before the wedding. His phone rang a few times before he picked it up.

"Endymion? It's Selenity." she said when Endymion picked up.

"Selenity? What's wrong? You sound stressed out."

"I'm just really worried about the wedding tomorrow. What if something goes wrong?"

"Selenity. Don't worry. Everything will be fine."

"But what if something bad happens?"

"If something bad happens, I'll be there to protect you. And as long as you're safe, I'll be
happy. Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you or the wedding. I promise."
Endymion said. Selenity smiled.

"Thanks, Endymion. You definitely know how to cheer me up whenever I'm worried or
scared or sad." Selenity said. "I love you so much, Endymion. I don't know what I'd do
without you."

"I love you too, Selenity. My world and my life wouldn't be the same without you."
Endymion said. Selenity's smile grew.

"Well, goodnight, Endymion."

"Goodnight, Selenity. Sweet dreams." Endymion said. With that, they hung up. Selenity
sat on her bed and looked at a picture of Endymion. She smiled again. 'I'm so lucky to
have you in my life.' Selenity thought. 'Nothing will get in the way of our happiness. And
nothing is going to ruin our wedding tomorrow.' she thought to herself. Soon, she fell
asleep.

// The next morning - THE WEDDING DAY!! \\

It was 5:00 AM and Selenity was wide awake, having her hair done by her stylist. Her
hair was being put in a very elegant up-do. Ami, Minako, Makoto, and Rei were also
having their hair done. Their hair was being transformed into soft flowy waves. They
were also having a hairpiece put in their hair. After an hour, everyone's hair was done.
After their hair, they changed into their dresses, which had been brought up to Selenity's
room earlier. After they had their gowns on, they put on their accessories. Selenity put on
a necklace that had a diamond in the middle. The necklace was a wedding gift from
Endymion. The girls put on silver bracelets and necklaces that had three diamonds lined
up next to each other. The middle diamond was the largest one, with the other two
diamonds being smaller. At around 7:30 AM, the girls were ready. Before going to the
church, they stopped at the Moon Kingdom Grand Ballroom, which is where the
reception was being held. The main entrance had white and cream/peach colored balloons
surrounding it. Hanging along the walls were vines that had white and cream colored
roses. The tables had white tablecloth with cream napkins. In the middle of every table
were menus and white and cream colored roses. The main table, where the bride and
groom and the bridal party would be sitting, was also well decorated. The bride and
groom's chairs resembled thrones. As Selenity and the senshi scanned the place, they
smiled, satisfied with the work James and the servants did. Soon, they were on their way
to the church. The church was similarly decorated the way the reception hall was. Selenity
and the girls all went into the bridal room. They all took a seat.

"Can you believe it? It's your wedding day!!" Rei exclaimed happily.

"Oh my god. You do not know how excited and happy I am." Selenity said. The girls all
smiled at Selenity's optimism.

"I'm so excited! I can't wait for it to start!!" Minako said excitedly.

"Yeah! Me neither!!" Makoto added.

"I'm so happy for you, Selenity. You're getting married today!" Ami said with a smile.
Selenity smiled.

"Thank you, guys. Thanks for everything. I can't believe we're actually here! In a few
hours, I'll be walking down that aisle." Selenity said. "Nothing can go wrong today."
There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Selenity asked.

"It's Sandy. I was wondering if one of you could come out here to help put up the
finishing touches for the church before guests start coming."

"Sure! We'll help." The senshi said.

"I'll help too." Selenity said.

"Great." Sandy said. "Um...you guys wanna change out of those dresses for a while? We
don't want to get them dirty or anything."

"Oh. Okay. Do you have a change of clothes or something?" Selenity asked.

"There should be enough pants and shirts for all of you in the back closet." Sandy said.

"Okay. We'll be out there in a few minutes."

"Okay. Thanks, girls."

After about an hour or so, the guests were arriving. Selenity and the senshi were already
in the back, preparing for the ceremony. The senshi were with Selenity one last time
before they left to go to the bridesmaid room. They each took turns hugging Selenity and
wishing her well. Soon, the girls had to leave. When Selenity was finally in the room by
herself, she looked at herself in the mirror.

"I can't believe it! I'm going to walk down the aisle shortly. I'm going to marry
Endymion! I'm going to become his wife! He's going to become my husband! This is
great! I've dreamed of this day all my life!" Selenity happily said to herself. Suddenly,
there was a knock on the door. "Come in." Selenity said. The door opened slowly.
Selenity turned to look at who came in. Selenity had a disgusted look on her face. "What
are you doing here?" Selenity asked. Without answering Selenity, she covered her
mouth and nose with a cloth that had chloroform on it. While Selenity struggled to
remove the hand covering her mouth and nose, she inhaled the chloroform, which caused
Selenity to pass out and fall to the floor.

"Finally, Endymion is mine." An evil smile appeared on Lindsey's lips. "Sorry, Selenity,
but you're not going to be the one walking down the aisle. It's going to be me!" Lindsey
let out an evil laugh. She picked Selenity up and propped her against the wall so that she
sat upward. Lindsey sat in front of the vanity, putting her hair in a makeshift up-do.
Someone knocked on the closed door. It was Sandy.

"Selenity. It's almost time for your walk. Be out of this room in two minutes. Okay?"

"Okay." Lindsey said, trying hard to imitate Selenity's voice. Apparently, it worked.

// At the ceremony \\

Everything went as planned. The bridesmaids walked down the aisle, the flower girl
walked down the aisle, the ring bearer walked down the aisle, and the bride walked down
the aisle. While the priest was performing the ceremony, Sandy began to think.

'That's not the veil Selenity had originally picked out. Her original one was a long lace
veil. The one that she's wearing now is a short one and it has a thick tulle covering,
making it hard for us to see her face. Hmm...maybe she found that in the closet and
decided to use it. But I wonder why she would pick that veil over her original one.' Sandy
brushed off the thought and tried to enjoy the ceremony. Finally, it came time for Selenity
and Endymion to kiss each other. They had already said their "I do's." Endymion was just
about to lift the veil when Queen Serenity ran down the aisle.

"Stop!! Stop the wedding! That's not my daughter!!" Queen Serenity yelled.

"What?" Endymion asked. He lifted the veil and gasped. "Lindsey?!?! But how did
you....what are you doing here?"

"What does it look like? I'm marrying you. Wait...correction. I married you." Lindsey
said with an evil smile.

"What did you do to Selenity?" Endymion demanded.

"Oh, nothing. She'll be fine." Lindsey said, brushing it off.

"Endymion! Selenity is in the bridal room. She's passed out on the floor." Serenity said in
a frenzy.

"Okay. Okay. Try to calm down." Endymion said to Serenity. He turned to Lindsey. "You
bitch. How dare you!" Endymion said angrily. He ran from the altar and headed straight
for the bridal room. The senshi and a few other people followed him. Sandy was in shock.

'So that's why there was a different veil. That other girl used that veil to cover her face so
that no one would know that she wasn't really Selenity.'

// At the bridal room \\

Endymion opened the door to find Selenity's body on the floor. He immediately checked
her pulse. It was okay. She just passed out. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Endymion! Is Selenity okay?" Makoto asked.

"She's fine. She just passed out. She'll be fine." Endymion said.

"Oh, thank god." Ami said. Lindsey pushed her way through the crowd. She stood behind
Endymion.

"What you making such a big deal for? She'll eventually wake up." Lindsey said.

"You little witch! How dare you do this to Selenity! She's your cousin, for goodness
sake!!"

"Oh, whatever. I don't care!" Lindsey said.

"I will never forgive you for this, Lindsey." She just shrugged. "You're not getting away
with this, Lindsey. The second Selenity wakes up, I will marry her!" Endymion said
angrily. Lindsey let out a laugh.

"This is where you realize you're wrong." Lindsey said, still laughing.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"You can't marry her!"

"And why not?"

"Don't you remember? You just married me!" Lindsey said, holding out her hand,
showing off the diamond wedding ring that Endymion had slipped on her finger earlier.

"You tricked me into marrying you! I wouldn't marry you, even if you were the last
person on Earth!"

"Tricked or not tricked, you still married me. You said "I do" and you yourself put this
ring on my finger and I did the same to you. The priest also pronounced us husband and
wife." Endymion gave Lindsey a cold glare. He knew where she was heading with this
speech of hers. "You also know very well that in this universe, bigamy (marrying one
person while still being legally married to another) is not allowed. If you are caught,
you'll be sent to jail for a long long time. And we don't want that from the Prince of
Earth, now do we?" Endymion stared at her with anger and rage in his eyes.

"This was your plan all along, wasn't it?" he said angrily.

"Congratulations, Endymion! You figured out the mystery!! Now, you win a prize!"
Lindsey said sarcastically.

"Cut the sarcasm, Lindsey. This was your plan, wasn't it?"

"Well, isn't it obvious?!?" Lindsey responded. 'Mmmm! I knew this plan would work.'
Lindsey thought to herself. A smile came to her lips. "Sorry, Endymion. You can't marry
Selenity anymore. You're legally married to ME!" Lindsey said, letting out an evil laugh.

Lindsey let out a laugh of happiness, but evil was also present in the laugh.

"So far, my plan is working. There's nothing that can stop me now!" Lindsey said, letting
out another laugh.

// In Selenity's room \\

Endymion sat quietly beside Selenity, who was still, after two hours, passed out. He
moistened the cloth and gently patted her forehead with it. By accident, a drop of water
fell onto Selenity's eye. Endymion was about to wipe it away when suddenly, her eyes
flickered.
