Epilogue

A year had passed from that fateful day. The day that changed both their lives. At first it was small dates to a café or a movie theater, it then turned into a long-term relationship, and six months later, Lyserg proposed to Macchi. Both thought this relationship was unreal. They fell in love in just a week and now proposed seven months later. It seemed like a Hollywood relationship, but they persisted. As a little project to strength them they wrote a book.

A 101 Ways to Fall in Love in Less than a Week!

By: Lyserg & Matilda Diethel

50 pound, in meat or money

The duo's book was a best seller, quickly over shadowing the book Macchi purchased seven months ago. They planned for their wedding day. Macchi, much to her despise, had Tamao to help her, and Lyserg best man was none other than faithful Marco. Lyserg had contacted Marco a few days after the proposal and Marco volunteered to be his best man.

And for any of you who were wondering about the book by J.K. Jokin. Well, a huge group gathered outside his office one day, rebelling that the book was false and should be banned. The group was lead by Pilica, with her failure with the book along with a thousand others. The poor author was stuck in his office for a week. The only thing revolt caused was police reports, firemen had to settle the riot, and caused a lot trouble in Britain, just as Yoh predicted, a very lucky guess indeed. Later his book was banned from several bookstores and schools. Eventually J.K. Jokin went to join the Lord of the Rings fan club and wrote another book explaining the symbols and allusions used to World War I and other stories. A very good book and got back some fame. As for Pilica, she tried to Ren all over again with Macchi's book and they got engaged and then…well I'll save that one for a better day.

The day of the wedding…

Lyserg tie his bow tie nice and tight, making sure everything was just right. He looked at the clock, it was ten past four and twenty more minutes till the moment of his life. Marco tightened his bow tie one last time, for good luck's sake. As both prepared for this young man's sake. And I, the author, really must not write such dumb lines.

"So tell me, who is this Matilda?" Marco asked. Lyserg smiled as he pulled out his locket.

"She has be to the kindest, funniest, most caring person I've been around in my life. Ever since I met her, I though maybe this day would come." Lyserg said.

"Are you nervous?" Morphine said popping out of his pocket.

"Well, of course! I know I could just faint right now, but I won't." Lyserg said. Marco rubbed his young partner's shoulder.

'He certainly has grown into a fine young man.' Marco thought. The door opened and Faust entered the room with an antique box.

"Guttentaugh." Faust said. Lyserg was use to this greeting by him. "I thought I give you something, before your big moment." Faust said. He opened the box to reveal two rings. One was a simple gold ring with engravings of Lyserg's name and another was a beautiful ring fitted with a diamond. Lyserg thought it was a nice gift, enough though he had already got the ring but it wasn't as big as those two, then noticed Faust's ring finger. The ring of his dear Eliza wasn't there or his own.

"Faust…you didn't…" Lyserg said. Faust gave both rings to Lyserg.

"Yes, I think it was time for me to part from those two rings. I figured why not pass on my legacy then giving those rings to you." Faust said.

"Faust…thank you so much." Lyserg bowed. Faust bowed in return and smiled at to groom to be.

"Well, good luck." Faust wished him. Faust left the room with the door cracked. Shortly after he left, Lyserg sneezed.

"Gazutaik." He said.

"Now all we have to pull this and…" Tamao said as she pulled the last string to tightened Macchi's dress. Macchi almost choked when Tamao did pull the strings. Tamao tossed the dress around one last time. "There. You look absolutely beautiful." Tamao commented. Macchi smiled as well, but something was on her mind.

"Hey, Tamao." The name still had a sting whenever Macchi said it. "Were you nervous on your wedding day?" She asked.

"Why, of course. I was so nervous I though I would faint." Tamao said.

"Ok, cause I feel like I'm going faint then die." Macchi joked. Both laughed for a second. "Oh also…I need to forgive youfor some stuff." Macchi said.

"Sure what is it?" Tamao asked.

"Well…first I almost put you out with a sleep dart, then I stole your credit card and spent like a hundred bucks on it. From there I then…put a hex on you and then…" The list continued on and on, each making Tamao's gape bigger and bigger.

"You did all that!" Tamao asked her. Macchi gulped and nodded. Tamao broke a smile. "Oh well, all is forgive, besides we're friends now." Tamao said. She looked at the clock. Ten minutes till the big moment. "Well I better be off." Tamao said. Macchi nodded and Tamao left the room. Macchi looked at herself in the mirror. She sighed one last time.

"Ok. Jack, any last comments?" Macchi asked the doll. The doll was in a tux still smiling ghoulish. "Well…you don't count, there is no bad luck, but you think so?" Macchi said. "You really think he do that?" She asked the doll. The doll remained motionless. She shrugged. "Eh, guess so." Macchi looked at the clock, waiting for the right time.

Lyserg waited on the altar, all his friends in the seats. Even some of his fans paid tribute to his wedding. The clock struck four thirty. The wedding song began to play. The doors opened revealing the beautiful snow white Matilda.

"Wow! That's her?" Marco asked.

"Yeah, gorgeous, isn't she?" Lyserg whispered back. As she came closer Marco made out her face.

"No way…that's Macchi of the Hanagumi!" Marco said. Marco began to pull out his gun.

"No Marco…" Lyserg tried to stop him, but it was too late. The gun was fired and the bullets whizzed pass her head. "No, she's my bride…" Lyserg said. Macchi pointed at Marco and laughed.

"Ha! I knew you do that!" Macchi taunted him

'Yep, just like Macchi.' Everyone thought. Marco was totally in embarrassed and in shame. The two's wedding was remember forever for Marco's performance.

"And then mommy and daddy moved to this house a month after the wedding. We then had our little princess Stephanie a year after and Prince Derrick three years later. And that's how Mommy and Daddy got together." 25 year-old Macchi finished her story. Little Stephanie looked at her mother shocked. Stephanie had almost every feature of her mother with her hair and her attitude, but she had brown eyes.

"Wow…that was one loooonnnngggg bedtime story." Stephanie said. "Can I have pigtails like you did?" Stephanie asked eagerly.

"Of course you can, but you need to go to sleep. You start school tomorrow." Macchi said. Stephanie nodded and went to sleep. Macchi walked over to the door and shut off the light. "Nighty night." Macchi said and she shut the door behind her. Stephanie held Jack tightly under her arm, dreaming sweetly of the story mommy told her. Jack continued to grin with that ghoulish grin, protecting his new master. Lyserg was in bed already. He tucked in Derrick much faster than Macchi because of the story. Macchi slipped in with Lyserg once she got her nightgown on.

"Long story tonight?" Lyserg asked her. Macchi nodded as she flipped through the news.

"Yep, gave her the life story of me and you." Macchi beamed. Lyserg shook his head.

"You told her the whole thing? No wonder you took so long." Lyserg said.

"Well, she was asking me about it for three weeks. I figured I lether know the truth." Macchi said. Lyserg turned off his lamp.

"So how much did you leave out?" Lyserg asked.

"Well nothing really, besides the one night where we…you know." Macchi said.

"Ok, was that the night at the lake or the night at the honeymoon?" Lyserg asked.

"Both."

"Macchi I'm quite sure we didn't do it the night at the lake."

"Ok, but admit you 'thought' about it."

"Ok…I did."

"Hey, you worried about Stephanie going to school tomorrow?"

"No, not at I have a special someone to look after her." Lyserg chuckled to himself.

"Ok, be a good girl today, cause Morphine is watching you." Macchi warned Stephanie. Stephanie waved back to the car.

"Ok, I'll be good mommy." Stephanie said. Morphine grumbled to herself. How did she get into this? She thought having a kid be all fun and games, well it certainly wasn't. Macchi drove back to the house with Derrick in the car. Lyserg had already gone off to work at the police station. Her cell phone rang.

"Hello…oh hey Tamao!….Oh he's also going here?…Cool….well I bet Stephanie will find him…ok….seeya….bye." Macchi talked on the phone. She stopped at the stoplight and turned to Derrick.

"That was Auntie Tamao. She said Kira is with Stephanie today. You want to play with Eiko?" She asked him. Derrick had short green hair like his father, but purple eyes like his mother. He was old enough to make a decision and shook his head. "You sure? Eiko is a lot of fun." Macchi asked again. Derrick was quite sure. He always got the willies when he was around Eiko.

Stephanie went directly to her classroom, room E-8. Mommy showed her the way during open house. Stephanie opened the door to see who was there. There were no other spirits in the classroom, a bunch of non-shamans so Morphine would have to remain a secret, but one person caught her eye. She bolted over to the boy alone in the corner desk.

"Hey there,Hao." Stephanie beamed with energy. The boy looked up, he did looked like Hao with his bangs, but his hair was far shorter and almost proper.

"Hao…that's my father's name." The boy said. Stephanie felt so embarrassed realizing she wasn't suppose to call the boy that.

"Oh…sorry. I'm Stephanie Diethel." She beamed with energy.

"Kira, Kira Asakura." The boy introduced himself. From there they both quickly became best friends and then in high school they went even further and started to date and then something happened that truly tested them. It all started with the…well I guess that story is best left for another day, for another time, so for now…it seems like my mission has been complete. And that, my friends, is the story of Lyserg and Macchi who lived happily ever after…or close enoughto it .
