The night it came to me
By shadows/of/flame

No comment. At the mo anyway. Watch out - swearing in this chapter.


The deluxe cell.

Thats where Tidus was put.

Away from every other living, breathing creature.

Yuna chained him to the wall, and smiled.

"Why are you smiling, you malicious bitch!" Tidus yelled.

"I will give you three options. You have to choose one. The answer you give will affect Wakka and Rikkus lives.... all of them are bad." she added as an afterthought.

Tidus growled.

"Fine. What are the options?"

"A: Marry me and dump Rikku. She and Wakka will be safe after the ceremony.

"B: Kill Rikku with your own hands.

Or

"C: Leave here, with no commotion, and no telling anyone else, but something will probably happen to your friends."

Tidus paled considerably.

"All of the options are treacherous." he spat, "and to my disadvantage."

Yuna smirked.

"Are you possessed?" Tidus yelled, "coz you weren't a bitch when I first met you!"

Yuna slapped Tidus sharply on his left cheek. His eyes watered, but he tried not to let his guard down in front of Yuna.

"Slap me all you like." he laughed hollowly.

Then Tidus hesitated.

"If I marry you, will I get to see Rikku before the ceremony?" he asked quietly.

Yuna considered it for a few minutes.

"Yes." she finally said.

There was another long silence, just as a plan started to forn in Tidus' mind.

"I will marry you." he whispered hesitantly.

Yuna clapped her hands in glee and unchained the manacles from Tidus' wrists.

"I'll lead you to Rikku. Or whats left of her!" Yuna cackled.

Tidus solemnly followed Yuna to the torture chambre.

"Stop the torturing." Yuna ordered.

The electricity that was being used for the torturing was immediately cut off.

A small figure was lying, whimpering and obviously in pain on the table which until a moment ago, was torturing her.

"Rikku!" Tidus yelled.

He quickly made his way to her side, and checked her various wounds.

"... T... Ti?" she asked weakly.

He nodded, and quietly applied an X potion to the wounds.

He sat her up, and took a deep breath.

"Rikku... I have something to tell you."

Rikku looked into Tidus' grief stricken face and suddenly knew something was up. Not the ceiling.

"... I knew my temporary freedom wouldn't come without a price. What is it?" she asked, dreading the possiblities.

Yuna smirked yet again (shes been doing that a lot, I know)

"Tidus is marrying me. You and Wakka will be set free after the ceremony. Me and Seymour will keep in close contact on our walkie talkies. If anything goes wrong during the ceremony... all of you will die. Any questions?"

Tidus could see the pain in Rikkus eyes.

She thought he had betrayed her, and she thought his feelings for Yuna HAD come back.

"No..." Rikku whispered.

"Fine then. Guards, put the lord and lady in the TV room. Me and Tidus have to plan and prepare for our wedding."

Yuna quickly exited the room with Tidus in tow. She didn't want to feel her ex guardians wrath.

But there wasn't one.

"I have you now Rikku." Yuna thought evilly, "I'm marrying Tidus and theres nothing you can do about it! It's payback time!"

-----------------------

Yuna and Tidus' wedding day came too quickly for the Yevon haters liking.

"She hired Seymour? Grrrrrrrrr..... How low will she go?"

Tidus was forced to wear a tuxedo, complete with a dorky flower. It was the first time he had ever worn a suit in his life, let alone a tuxedo.

Tidus' plan, if it worked, would hopefully go into action just after he and Yuna had exchanged vows, which was risky.

He just hoped that the priest had brushed up on his nuptial laws studies.

Rikku and Wakka were forced to see Tidus on LIVE television.

Wakka, who had known about Rikku and Tidus' little fling, had no idea how to comfort Rikku, so both stayed silent.

"The ceremony is beginning. Watch." ordered Seymour.

----------------------

Tidus tried to put on a happy facade, but inside his heart was breaking.

Yuna was wearing a ruby necklace, way too dark against her pale skin. Her dress was pale pink, and it was bedecked with rubies. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail, and it there was a ruby studded tiara in the middle of her forehead, and a pale pink veil covered her malicious eyes from Tidus' grief stricken face.

"She sure as hell likes rubies." muttered Lulu, who had also been forced to be a part of the audience/witnesses of the wedding.

Yuna waltzed up the aisle towards Tidus as though she owned the whole of Spira. Tidus had to try and stop himself from jumping off the tower like Yuna had done when she ran away from Seymour, but he didn't have aeons to save his hide, and he also knew Rikku's and Wakka's lives were at stake.

Yuna finally finished going up the aisle, stepped up to Tidus and looked at him.

He had to look back, otherwise the audience would be suspicious.

The priest opened his law book.

"We are gathered here today to see this couple joined in holy matrimony by the son, the father and the holy ghost. These two are agreeing and promising in two simple words to care for each other in sickness and in health until God divides them."

Everyone present sat down, and the priest continued.

"Do you, High Summoner Yuna, take Sir Tidus to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"Do you, Sir Tidus, take High Summoner Yuna to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I..." Tidus hesitated, "... do..."

The priest smiled. Tidus gulped.

"In that case, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Tidus hesitantly lifted Yunas veil, and kissed her.

------------------------

Rikku buried her face in Wakkas shoulder just as Seymour led them out, to their freedom, and the soon-to-be couple.

-----------------------

"Now" the priest proclaimed, "the bride and groom will sign a document to make their joining valid, in their own hand. This will be done in front of all of you, as the witnesses."

Yuna signed first, and Tidus lifted his left hand, and shakily signed beside her signature.


The marriage ceremonies in New Zealand go something like that, so thats what I've based it on.

Whats wrong here? The first 5 to get it right will have the next chapter dedicated to them. There are hints via the underlined stuff.

I have no idea how a wedding ceremony really goes, so thats not it.

No flames plz, and Tidus' escape is really quite fun... and corny I'm afraid.
