Chapter 2

"Selphie, you look so pretty!" Jiji said.

"Aunt Selphie's not a bit pretty. She's beautiful!" Mable said grinning.

"My friend, you are drop dead gorgeous, and by drop dead, I mean Kage is going to drop dead when he sees how beautiful you look!" Yugi added excitedly.

"If Darunia has his way anyway…" Selphie said quietly, smiling.

The four of them were in the guest bedroom of Yugi and Link's house. Yugi and Jiji had spent the whole morning getting Selphie ready for the big day, and Mable had "helped." Selphie now wore a white gown. It wasn't extravagant, but it still gave off the feeling of being elegant. They'd fixed her long brown hair so that it now looked delicately wavy and had several pieces pulled back. "Kage had better be feeling very lucky to be marrying you," Jiji said.

"I feel more lucky marrying him," Selphie answered with a hint of nervousness in her voice. She fiddled with the ring on her finger, thinking about when Kage proposed. He'd seemed so nervous; she thought he'd take it back. But when she said yes, she knew he meant it. She loved him so much, but she was still so scared. However, Kage seemed so sure of this that she couldn't back down. That didn't make her feel any less nervous.

She'd even had a couple of weird dreams where Kage disappeared. She didn't share this with anyone, for fear that they would make something of it. The slightest hint that Kage might leave her would probably set them off, Darunia quicker than anyone. They were all so very protective of her. She felt special for it, but it also bugged her very much, and she knew Kage was petrified of what would happen if he hurt her, though she knew he never would.

"Selphie?" Jiji repeated. "Selphie!"

"Huh? What?" Selphie exclaimed, waking up to reality once more. Mable giggled at Auntie Selphie spacing out. Selphie gave her a playful little leer before smiling at her. "Sorry, I spaced," she said to Jiji. Jiji shook her head with a smile.

"We were saying it was time to go," Yugi said, grinning at her soon to be sister-in-law.

"Oh! Right!" Selphie said. She walked over to the dresser and picked up the veil, placing it on her head. She smiled as she saw herself in the mirror through the gauze. Then she took a deep breath, turned around and faced them once more. "I'm ready!" The other two women grinned at her and Mable continued to giggle excitedly, twirling her new blue dress about her.

They each grabbed her by the arm and walked her down the stairs and out the front door. Kage and Selphie were going to exchange vows out on the center island of Lake Hylia. She, Yugi, Jiji, and Mable were walking toward the scientist's laboratory so they could cross the bridges out to the island, where the boys had probably already warped with Link's ocarina. When they were almost to the bridge, Yugi happened to look down at her daughter. "Oh, Mable…" she said with exasperation.

Mable looked confused for a moment and then cried, "Oops!" as she realized she'd forgotten her basket of flowers back at the house. "I'll go back and get them right now," she said turning around.

"Mable, you can't go alone!" Yugi said.

"I'll go with her, Yugi," Selphie offered, gathering her dress about her and taking Mable by the hand and letting the little girl pull her toward the house.

"Come on, Aunt Selphie!" Mable squealed.

"Selphie, be careful of the dress!" Jiji called.

"Don't worry!" Selphie called back over her shoulder, running along with Mable. When they got about halfway, they slowed to a walk.

"Aunt Selphie?" Mable asked.

"Yeah, Mable?" Selphie answered, looking down at her.

"Do you and Uncle Kage really love each other, like Mommy and Daddy love each other?" Mable asked. Selphie smiled at the little girl's innocence.

"Yes, Mable, we really love each other," Selphie answered.

"Uncle Kage's really lucky to be marrying someone as pretty as you," Mable said. Selphie smiled once again at Mable's naiveté. They reached the house, and Mable ran upstairs and brought back down her basket of flowers. As Selphie closed the door behind them, Mable said, "I'll never be as pretty as you and Mommy. No on will want to marry me."

"Oh, Mable," Selphie said, kneeling down to the girl's level. "You are a very pretty little girl, and when you grow up, I'll bet you'll be even prettier than me and your Mommy combined. And even so, looks aren't everything. Your Uncle Kage loves me for more than that."

"Yeah, you're really nice too," Mable said, looking up at Aunt Selphie. "And you know lots of stuff."

"Yeah," Selphie agreed. She picked Mable up and hugged her. "Don't you worry about that at all," she said, holding her close. "I'm sure you'll have to beat the boys off with a stick. And if they don't want anything to do with you, you just come tell your Auntie Selphie and she'll set 'em straight." She winked at Mable and set her down again. Mable grinned.

"Yeah," Mable said as she took Selphie's hand again and started walking. She went silent, screwing up her face in thought. "But by then, won't you have your own daughter to worry about?"

"Aheh," Selphie laughed uneasily, rubbing the back of her head embarrassedly as they continued walking. When they reached Yugi and Jiji, Yugi could guess from the look on Selphie's face that Mable had said something awkward. She winked at Selphie, who again smiled ineptly. "We better get going if I don't want to be late for my own wedding.

"We better," Jiji agreed.

The four of them continued their walk out to the lake. When they got to the first island, they found Darunia and Raven, who was holding the white pillow with the rings, waiting for Selphie and Mable. When Darunia saw Selphie, he looked like he wanted to cry. Selphie smiled at him and Raven looked up at Uncle Daru curiously. "Doesn't Aunt Selphie look pretty, Uncle Daru?" Mable asked as Yugi and Jiji crossed the bridge to the main center island.

"She most certainly does," Darunia answered, flicking a tear away from his eye as he put one arm around Selphie in an embrace. She smiled up at him.

"It's not like I'm leaving," she whispered to him.

"I know, but I still feel worried for you," he answered.

"Why is Uncle Daru worried for you, Aunt Selphie?" Raven asked.

"Yeah, Uncle Kage's gonna take real good care of her!" Mable chimed in. Selphie looked up at Darunia with a smirk on her face.

"He's not gonna do anything," she assured him as she stepped away. "He's too afraid of you." Darunia looked proud of himself. Selphie looked at him seriously. "That wasn't exactly a compliment." He looked very slightly ashamed, but happened to look across the lake to the island where the nuptials would take place.

"Time to go," he winked at Mable and Raven. Mable was about to skip across the bridge when Raven tugged on the hem of her dress and she slowed down, but still tossing flowers all over the place. When Selphie and Darunia saw that the children had crossed, they started walking across the bridge. Darunia was muttering something to himself repeatedly- something on the lines of "Don't look down." Selphie shook her head and smiled. They were at the end of the bridge.

The two stepped onto the island where everyone else was standing. Link and Iggy were standing to the left of the warp platform, Raven trying to hide behind his daddy, all three wearing light blue tunics. On the other side of the platform were Yugi and Jiji, with Mable trying to stand out, all wearing light blue dresses. Kage was standing up on the platform looking extremely fidgety.

"She's so perfect," he thought. He stood nervously watching as she stepped up onto the platform and Darunia took his place beside Iggy. Link coaxed Raven forward, up onto the platform. Raven stepped up and stood between the bride and groom holding the pillow out. Kage and Selphie each reached out and took the rings- thank Din they're rings, Kage thought- and Raven hastened off the platform to hide again.

Selphie looked up through the veil into Kage's eyes. Kage couldn't see through the gauze, but he could tell she was smiling at him, and waiting for him to hold his hand out for her to put the ring on and say her vows… but he didn't. He stood there for a minute, sweating and looking down at the ring in her finger. The others there watched him curiously. The smile faded slowly from Selphie's face.

"Kage…?" she said nervously.

"Selphie… I…" he trailed off. Suddenly he disappeared from sight. A small tink came from the ground as the ring he had been holding fell. A few seconds later, Selphie fell to her knees beside it. She didn't say anything.

"Selphie?" Yugi asked, walking up and placing a tentative hand on the girl's shoulder, but Selphie jerked away, burying her face in her hands and starting to cry. Everyone backed away to give her some space. At this point, Darunia's eyes were as fiery as the temple he guarded. The other adults present also seemed to have a similar anger.

"Kage! Your ass is mine!" Darunia bellowed.

"Not in front of the children, Darunia!"
