She was tottally stunned when he sat down. So stunned that she didn't say another word, nor did she blink, or breathe. When she walked up to the stage she let out a deep breath and started breathing in and out very slowly to calm herself down. She then made her mind up about the song and leaned over to the man who would prepare the song and told them the title.

"I'm sorry ma'am we don't have that song here." She sighed again, that was the only song she knew appropriate.

"okay. I guess I will have to sing acapella."

"Huh?"

"Without music."

"Whatever lady." She went up the stage, then noticed how bright the light was. She held the microphone tightly in her sweat soaked hands, then started up the song.



"When the world wasn't upside down

I could take all the time I had

But I'm not gonna wait when a moment can vanish so fast

Cause every kiss is a kiss you can never get back"

'This doesn't sound good.' Vash thought. To him it sounded like she didn't have time for him or something like that. She wasn't singing that well either, even though she usually sang really well. 'Calm down' he thought. 'Even if you don't feel the same, at least sing pretty for me.' It was like she read his thoughts, because when she started up the chorust she did sing pretty. No, I take that back, she sang beautifully.



"Lift me up

In your arms

If you told me that is what heaven is, well you'd be right.

I've been waiting forever for this, this is the night."



'So it isn't no?' He was so happy. In his mind he was jumping for joy. His mind was also telling him to actually lift her up in his arms.



"When the answer to all my dreams

Was as close as a touch away

Why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say?

"Lift me up

In your arms

If you told me that is what heaven is, well you'd be right.

Hold me close

To your heart

I would go with you to the ends of the earth and we'll fly

I've been waiting forever for this

This is the night."



'This sure is the night....the night of my life.' he was so close to screaming in happiness. But the fact that he was surrounded by many people barely hold him back.



"This is the night where we capture forever

And all our tomorrows begin

After tonight we will never be lonely again."



"Lift me up

In your arms

If you told me that is what heaven is, well you'd be right.

Hold me close

To your heart

I would go with you to the ends of the earth and we'll fly

I've been waiting forever for this

This is the night."

She walked off the stage, but didn't make it far before everyone awed again and clapped loudly. She was the best tonight, and she had won. She didn't get to go to get her prize money though, because suddenly she was lifted from her feet to the protection of red leather. She gazed softly into Vash's crystal teal orbs, as he carried her away, saying to Milly, "Collect the prize will ya?" Milly nodded and grinned at the new couple, leaving them to get the prize.

He carried her outside and didn't put her down, he just kept looking at her, only passion in his eyes. "I love you." He whispered gently into her ear.

"I love you too." He leaned down to her, inhaling her scent of lavender and rose, their eyes closed in unison and their lips began to touch. She was sure that she was going to melt out of his arms and become a puddle on the ground, but she never lost the feeling of his arms around her wedding style. They both hoped for it to last forever but they knew that it wouldn't. At least it wasn't over now, and maybe not soon.
