Author's rant: Okay. This chapter's going to be like the Princess Bride and the Final Fantasy X scene when Yuna has to marry –shivers- Seymour. But, it concerns Alex, Riku and Ryan. This is going to get annoying if you don't like the song I will carry you by Clay Aiken. If I get anything wrong in spelling or some lines just don't make sense, I'm getting some of the stuff for this chappie from the Princess Bride.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, the book The Princess Bride or I will carry you by Clay Aiken.
Alex groaned and opened her eyes. It was lying down on a warm bed. 'How did I get here? I can't remember.' Then, it hit her. "Ryan brought me here. But why?" She got off the bed and walked toward the mirror in the room. Her eyes widened. "What the hell?" Instead of her usual attire, she was wearing a white strapless dress, which barely reached her knees, white knee-length boots and white gloves.
"What the hell is going on?" Alex cried. 'Why am I wearing this dress?'
The door swung open and the slut, Amelia walked in. "Finally, you're awake. Now, let's get you ready." An evil grin spread across her face. "What are you talking about?!" Alex demanded, "Why am I in this dress?! Answer me!!"
"You don't know, do you?" Amelia giggled, "Your beloved Riku isn't coming. Only he can stop you from getting married." "Married?! To who?!" Alex asked angrily. "Ryan, your fiancée." Amelia replied.
"That idiot is not my fiancée! I don't love him either!" Alex shouted. "He's been your fiancée ever since you two were born. Your mother didn't know about that." Amelia chuckled.
"Oh God. No way! I won't marry him!" Alex shrieked. "Even if we were betrothed at birth!"
Riku felt a sharp pain in his heart. "Alex, what's happening to you?" After a short pause, Riku went to the cockpit. "Drive the ship faster! Alex is in huge trouble if we don't get there now." Mickey nodded and used warp drive. They were there in an instant.
"Hey! Have you heard that a mage is getting married to Queen Amelia's third-in-command?" A young kid asked his friends. Riku and the others decided to listen to the conversation.
"Yeah, my parents said that they're getting married against the bride's will. What's the bride's name anyway?" One of the other kids said. "I think was Alexia Rzeznik." The mother of one of the kids spoke up. "And Sir Ryan's the third-in-command, right?" The third kid asked. The mother nodded. Then, they left.
Caitlin and Jason looked at each other and gulped. "We know Ryan likes Alex. But, this has gone way too far." Sora looked at Riku, who was shaking violently. "Ryan, that bastard! He won't get away with that!" "Yeah." Kairi nodded. "Let's go find the wedding and crash it before it's too late." Mickey stated.
"Let's go crash a wedding for Alex's sake!" Riku ran off into the city first and the others followed him, trying to keep up with his speed. 'Don't worry. I'm coming.'
Amelia put a tiara on Alex's head and covered her face with a veil. "It's time." She said. "Riku will come. I'm sure of it." Alex hissed. "Why are you doing this for Ryan anyway?" "It's favor since he did something for me." Amelia said evilly, giving Alex a bouquet of flowers to hold.
"Come on. It's time to go."
Later on...
At the throne room, Ryan was waiting with an Archdean. He was growing impatient unlike the Archdean.
"Patience is a virtue, Sir Ryan." The Archdean stated. Then, Alex walked in with Axel and Vixen behind her. They were there to make sure she wasn't going to run away. Slowly, she walked toward Ryan and the Archdean.
Yeah I know it hurts,
Yeah I know you're scared walking down the road that leads to who knows where.
Don't you hang your head,
Don't you give up yet
When courage starts to disappear
I will be right here.
When she reached them Ryan said, "You look beautiful today, Alexia." 'Bastard. Son of a....' The Archdean cut off her thoughts. "Ryan and Alexia, I am old and my thoughts on marriage..." But, he was cut off by Ryan.
"Holiness, my love is simply overpowering my ability to wait--- please skip down to the end of the service."
Alex said nothing. She knew Riku was coming. She imagined him taking on the guards that were out protecting the castle gates.
"Marriage..." Again, Ryan cut him off. "Again, Holiness. In the name of love. Please hurry along as best you can to the end." Alex was paying little attention to Ryan and the archdean. All that was on her mind was Riku (obviously –gets hit by Riku plushie my friend Jasmine threw- I'll get back to the story).
When your world breaks down
And the voices tell you turn around.
When your dreams give out
I will carry you, carry you.
When the stars go blind
And the darkness starts to flood your eyes.
When you're falling behind, I will carry you.
"Very well, Ryan. Man and wife. You are man and wife." The Archdean declared. At that moment, Ryan kissed Alex with a firey passion. Alex didn't return the kiss. Her hand became a fist. Then, the doors burst open. Riku, Sora, Mickey, Jason, Caitlin and Kairi ran in and saw that sight.
"RYAN!!!!! YOU BASTARD!!!!" Jason, Caitlin and Riku yelled in unison. Ryan heard that and broke away from Alex. Alex hung her head, not looking at them and ran out of there through the other staircase.
"You're too late." Then, Ryan started to laugh maniacally.
Sora sweatdropped. "Can we beat him up now?" Kairi asked. Mickey nodded and looked at Riku "Yep. Riku's ready to go." Riku looked at his friends. "What the hell?" He asked. "You go after Alex and we'll fight the bastard over there. Even though Jason is his brother." Caitlin said. Jason nodded. "I was looking for a reason to beat him up and here it is."
"Thanks, guys. Be careful though." Riku ran off the same way. Thought several corridors, he heard someone sobbing and crying. Riku found where it came from and opened the door.
Everybody cries,
Everybody bleeds,
No one ever said that life's an easy thing.
That's the beauty of it,
When you lose your way,
Close your eyes
And go to sleep
And wake up to another day.
It was Alex. (A/N: She's still wearing that white dress.) "Damnit!" She cursed. "Language. Alex, watch your language." Riku instructed. Alex turned her head and saw him. Her face was stained with tears now. "Riku, I'm sorry." She apologized.
"For what?" Riku asked. "For getting married to that bastard." Alex said, with her eyes to the floor. 'Same old Alex.' Riku thought. "Did you say it?" He asked, lifting Alex's chin for her to look at him. "Say what?" Alex questioned. "Did you say 'I do'?" Riku crossed his arms.
"Umm...we kinda skipped that part." Alex muttered. "So, technically, you're not married to him." Riku laughed. Then, a few seconds later, his lips met Alex's. When they broke the kiss, Alex embraced him. "I don't ever want to let go of you again." Riku whispered.

"Please, oh baby, don't go." Alex whispered back to him. "Sorry to break up the love scene here. But we have to go. Ryan gonna wake up any minute now. Come on!" Sora shouted, "The others are in the gummi ship!" Alex found her usual clothes and stuffed them into her bag. She, Riku and Sora ran off. But, Ryan blocked their way when they reached the entrance hall. "You're not going anywhere with my wife." Ryan sneered. "I am not your wife! I don't even love you!" Alex shrieked.
You should know now
That you're not alone.
Take my heart
And we will find,
You will find, your way home.
When the stars go blind
And the darkness starts to flood your eyes.
When you're falling behind,
I will carry you, carry you,
I will carry you,
Carry you,
I will carry you,
Carry you,
I will carry you.
Ryan drew his sword and dashed toward someone.
Sarah: Cliffy. -gets hit by Riku plushie again-
Jasmine: SARAH!
Sarah: What?!? Why'd you throe my favorite plushie at me again?!?
Sienna: I can't believe I just noticed.
Jasmine and Sarah: Noticed what, Sienna?
Sienna: That Sarah's the opposite of Riku cuz you get angry, jealous and pissed off so easily. You're a voice of reason and spiritually strong.
Sarah: I've been knowing that for a very long time.
Please r&r.
