The other girls were waiting in Anna's room when she arrived. "How did it go?! Were you nervous? Did everything go all right?"

Jeanne yawned sleepily and rubbed her cheek. "Let the poor girl have some space," she told Tamao and Pilika.

"We'd better hurry, though," Pilika said. "It's ten o'clock, and the wedding's supposed to start at five."

"What are we doing with your hair?" Tamao asked.

Anna sighed and plunked down in a chair. "I have no idea," she said. "I have no idea what's going on anymore..."

"Oh, calm down, Anna-chan," Pilika said. She drew the sticks out Anna's hair; her long damp hair uncoiled around her shoulders. Pilika drew a brush through her silky locks. "You have such pretty hair...maybe we can curl it!"

"That would be adorable!" Tamao exclaimed. "Lots of cute little ringlets everywhere! That would be the most precious thing ever! Yoh would love it!"

"Really?" Anna said. She twirled a strand around her finger. "Well...okay. I guess that'll be fine."

"Okay, you get that fancy kimono off and put on something comfortable," Tamao said. "We're going to be here for a while...Jeanne, how many curling irons do we have?"

"Oh, crap..." Anna mumbled, realizing for the first time what she was getting herself into.

-----

"Yoh?"

No answer.

"Yoh?!"

Still now answer.

"YOH ASAKURA!" HoroHoro shouted.

"Give it up," Ren said. "He's sleeping."

Sure enough, the brown-haired boy was fast asleep in a chair, his headphones on and his head tipped back as he snored.

Lyserg shook his head. "How can anyone possibly sleep on their wedding morning?" he said.

HoroHoro pounced on Yoh. "WAKE UP!" he shouted.

Yoh blinked sleepily. "Whazit?"

"It's your WEDDING, that's what!" HoroHoro cried. "Man, if it was my wedding, I'd be too busy dreamin' about that pretty little pink-haired girl to sleep..."

"Who said I wasn't dreaming about my girl?" Yoh grinned. Then he lifted an eyebrow. "So the girl in your dreams has pink hair, hm?"

HoroHoro blushed profusely.

-----

Jeanne brushed Anna's fine blonde hair and drew the curling iron through it. "Are you nervous?" she asked.

"Oh, a little, I suppose," Anna said. She twined the chain of her locket around her finger. "Although technically I'm already married to him..." She sighed deeply.

"You're getting all dreamy-eyed again, Anna," Pilika warned.

"Oh, let her be," Tamao said. "It's her wedding. Let her be happy."

"You know she's sitting right here," Pilika said. "She's listening to everything we're saying."

"No, she's not," Jeanne smiled. "Look at her." Anna was staring off into space, a soft smile turning up her lips.

The other girls looked at each other and tried not to smirk.

-----

"Hey, Lyserg," Yoh called. "Can you do me a favor?"

"What?" the green haired boy asked, slightly disgruntled.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Ren asked.

"THIS STUPID TIE!!" Lyserg shouted, waving the limp red ribbon in his hand.

"Uh..." HoroHoro stammered in confusion.

"IT WILL NOT TIE!!" Lyserg continued, proceeding to scare the snot out of his friends. "Around the bedpost, yes, a thousand times yes, but around my neck NO!!!"

"Okee..." Yoh said. "Can you just run down to Anna's room and give this to her? He handed a shoebox to Lyserg.

"Sure, whatever...stupid tie..." Lyserg mumbled as he stomped down the hall.

-----

Lyserg knocked on the door to the girls' room.

"Who is it?" Tamao called, tying a silky red ribbon in Anna's curls.

"Me, Lyserg," he said. "I have something for Anna from Yoh."

Jeanne opened the door, her cheeks pink. "Hello," she said shyly. "I can give it to her."

"Oh, Lyserg can you take this?" Anna asked. She pulled away from Tamao the tier of ribbons and picked up an envelope from her bureau. "It's for you."

"I can give it to him," he said, smiling. They exchanged the gifts.

-----

"Anna has a gift for you," Lyserg said. He handed the sleepy brunet the envelope. Yoh smiled and opened the flap.

Dear Yoh,

I know this isn't much and I'm really very sorry that my gift to you isn't nicer, but I honestly didn't know what to give you and- I'm rambling, aren't I? I'm sorry, I'll just end this quickly. This locket is the only thing I have from my parents, and I want you to have it. I know it isn't much, and it's kind of weird for a guy to wear a locket, but I really want to give this to you.

Love,

Your Anna

Yoh ran his finger along the locket. "I love you too, Anna-chan," he whispered.

-----

"Well?" Tamao pressured. "Open it!!"

"All right, all right," Anna said. She opened the shoebox. "What the-"A stack of letters fell into her hands. Each one was neatly dated. The pile was tied together with a battered ribbon.

Jeanne elbowed the other two. "Let's leave her alone," she whispered.

Anna didn't even notice. She opened the first letter.
