Everything's Okay In the End
Chapter 6
Disclaimer: it's too late to make a witty remark. . .the only characters that are mine are Kathryn and Fae.
A/N: two weeks before the wedding. Preparations. Decorations. Lots of fluff. This will not be a happy chapter. Not a very happy one anyway. Probably not that long either. Yeah, I know I should work on The Child (my other fic) but I figure, this one's shorter so I'll just finish it quick as possible (while still making it worth reading) so I can spend more time on The Child without this one leaking in and out of my head. K? okay. Oh, and replying to a few of my reviews: Keita: no, that's my other story. *evil laughter* Squire Kali: hehehehe! Hey, when all else fails, bring in Faleron! lol purple_eyez04: lol! Okay, I'm replying! And you'll just have to wait to see what happens. . .*laughs evilly again* Everyone Else: thank you sooooo much for replying! I'm so happy you all like this story! It's only my second major fan-fic and my first Tammy fic, so I'm just tickled pink that you like it! and if I have spoiled anything for Lady Knight for anyone, I am terribly sorry! (though, that might be my other story. . .) Now! Chapter 6!
"No!" Fae shouted once again.
"Fae, /please!/ You know I can't sew!" Kathryn pleaded.
"I can /mend/ things! I can't make a /wedding dress/ from scratch!" Fae looked horrified at the very thought of trying.
"Well, as much as I'd like to, I can't wear a dinner gown, or breeches for my wedding! I need /someone/ to make me a dress, and you are the only person I trust with my clothes! You /have/ to do it!"
Fae was about to argue, when there was a knock on the door. She snarled and stomped to answer the door. She grinned to herself when she saw who it was. "Oh hi. . .come on in."
A handsome man with dark hair walked into the room looking embarrassed at Fae. He grinned at Kathryn and she smiled back to him.
Fae winked at Kathryn over Faleron's shoulder and said, "Oh gee, Kathryn, I forgot! I have to pick up some stuff in the city. Will you be alright on your own for an hour or so?" She didn't even wait for an answer, just winked again and stepped out of the room.
As the door closed, Kathryn ran up and threw her arms around Fal's neck. He hugged her so tightly she was afraid she might pop. "Fal, sweety," she gasped, "I can't breathe."
"Oh gods!" Faleron immediately let go. "Are you okay?"
Kathryn was laughing. "I'm fine!" She leaned in and kissed his cheek, but he turned his head to catch her lips with his. He had only recently begun to kiss her mouth, and it sent a chill up her spine every time he did. Even though she had nothing to compare it to, she thought he was the best kisser in the world.
When they pulled away from each other, Kathryn asked, "Did you need something?"
"Not really, I just wanted to see you," Faleron said. Kathryn blushed. "Why were you and Fae shouting?" asked Faleron.
"Oh, I just need to find someone to make my. . .dress." She didn't like discussing the wedding with Faleron, but he knew what the dress was for.
"Well," he started, "as much as I want to boycott this little event, I know a good dress shop in town. It's run by a woman named Lalasa. She's real nice and will make a dress for you to make you look like a goddess. Not that would be too hard," he grinned at her as she blushed again.
They talked for a half an hour when Fae came back. Faleron, always the shy gentleman, was too embarrassed to kiss Kathryn goodbye as he left, so instead he bowed and blew her a kiss when Fae's back was turned. Kathryn smiled at him and waved but it wasn't something was different about the room once he left.
After a moment Fae said, "I think I found a place in the city that will make you a wedding dress."
"Oh, thanks, Fae, but Fal already told me about a little shop run by-"
"Lalasa?" Fae finished for her. "Yes, that's the one I'm talking about too. I was talking to her for a little while. A bit shy and quiet, but she's nice, and she sews like no tomorrow. She makes the Queen's clothes; and her "everyday" gowns? They're more beautiful than your finest ball gown." Kathryn's mouth dropped. Fae hid a grin under her hand. "She already gave me an estimate on the price. It shouldn't be too hard. I gave her your measurements and she said she'd start working on the dress this afternoon. And tomorrow evening you have to go in for your first fitting."
"/Already?!/" Kathryn gasped. "But you just said she's starting it today! How could it be ready for fitting /tomorrow??/"
Fae grinned again. "I told you: she's good. She said she doesn't have any big projects due, at least not ones her staff can't see to, and that she'd be more than happy to start."
"What material is she using?"
"She wouldn't tell me. . .I just gave her your measurements, then described you to her, and she said she'd make the perfect thing for you. We'll find out tomorrow; don't look so impatient! I thought you were dreading this wedding anyway?"
Kathryn blushed. "I suppose it must be a girl thing. All little girls long for the wedding, start to plan it when they are five, can't wait to see their dress, and the decorations. It just never really occurred to me that I wouldn't choose the man that I married. Until I was about seven that is."
Fae didn't know what to say to this, so she said nothing.
*~*~*
Two lovers were stealing a kiss in a dark corner. It was almost as if they were afraid that if their lips left each other, the world would stop spinning and implode on itself. The man's hand sneaked it's way up the woman's tunic, making her giggle. His hand played across her stomach, tickling her ribs.
"Cleon, stop, that tickles!" Kel whispered, trying not to laugh. He just kissed her again. Kel kissed him back with all the love that burned inside her for him. Their tongues danced and played in each other's mouths, absorbing all the tastes. Kel ran her fingers through Cleon's stubborn red curls. Oh, how silky they felt!
"Ahem!!" someone growled behind them.
Kel and Cleon whipped away from each other to face a particularly angry- looking woman.
"Mother!" Cleon gasped.
A/N: mwahahahaha! Cliff hanger! *feels so evil* you hate me don't you? *smiles sweetly*
okay, I changed my mind as I wrote this. There is gonna be at least 3 more chapters, not just one more. Next one, we deal with Mother. Next one, more preparations, probably, then the wedding. Or, I may combine dealing with Mother and preparations into one chapter, I haven't decided yet. It depends on what I write, and when I write it. I will *try* with all my might to get the next chapter up as soon as possible, because I know how horrid cliff hangers are. But just keep your fingers crossed they my teachers decide to be kind and give me minimal amounts of homework. Anyway, please review, because otherwise I'll think that you all hate me and won't want to finish, when in reality, you love me and want me to continue, but you were just to lazy to click a button and type a few kind words and put me in a false since of insecurity. (am I making since?) so just review. And if someone could tell me how to do italics I'd really appreciate it! I tried doing what ff.n says, but it doesn't work. I think I'm doing it wrong. . .any help that's given, I will thank you in my beginning note! (a *really* big honor, I know. . .) I think that's all! Ta!
