Okay, just so everyone knows and doesn't freak out and say, "Augh! You've ruined Tome of Lineage with your spoilers! Curse you, Selphie Louise!" this story will not in any way interfere with my masterpiece, Tome of Lineage. Previously, this would have been a spoiler to said story, but I've decided to change it due to a recent falling out with my partner in crime, Kearra. Her well-received story, Children of the Gods, was originally meant as introduction to these characters so that these stories (that I wrote over a year ago...) would not confuse people greatly. But because of this recent falling out, we have both changed the aimsof our stories. As such, a brief overview of what happened before this story is in order, since Children of the Gods can no longer serve that purpose (although many, if not all of these characters have been introduced in Children of the Gods). (Yes, this is the exact same spiel I posted at the beginning of Tying the Knot.)
Making It Happen again centers around Kage and Selphie. It includes, I think, all of the same characters as Tying the Knot. I think that's everything. The rest will be explained through the story.

Prologue
It was relatively quiet in the Lost Woods. The only sounds really noticeable were the birds, bugs, and occasional squirrel or two tossing Deku nuts at the skull kids, who should, by this time, be trying to sleep. We find Kage and Selphie's home, a beautiful wooden structure that bears much resemblance to the house at Romani Ranch. Kage had built it for Selphie shortly after he gave up his divinity for her. Selphie was a lucky girl, being in a relationship with the former Sheikan god for two years, and now married to him for three months- though the wedding itself had been rather a fiasco.
The first room you walk into his a combination living room, kitchen, and dining room. Underneath a set of stairs is a bathroom. At the top of the stairs are two bedrooms. One is unused right now. It used to be Kage's until he and Selphie began sharing a room. The other room is the room they share- but it would be highly unwise go in there right now, for that would be rude and unpleasant for both the eyes and bodies as the couple would promptly throw out anyone idiot enough to enter without any thought to the injury it might cause then. If you don't believe that, then you can just waltz over to Death Mountain and ask the leader of the Gorons.
He won't lie.
It hurts.
Chapter 1
Kage happened to wake up earlier than Selphie, though he didn't get out of bed. Instead he lay there next to her, stroking her cheek. When finally she did wake, he smiled and kissed her forehead, "Good morning."
She smiled back, "Good morning."
Not ten minutes later, she was downstairs pouring herself a glass of LonLon milk. Kage snuck up behind her, wearing his white kimono and black hakama. He wrapped his arms around her waist, almost causing her to spill the moo juice. She jumped. "Did it happen?" he asked, kissing her cheek.
She grinned and shook her head at him. "You have to wait a few days, Kage," she answered, taking a sip of the milk.
"I don't wanna wait a few days," he fake whined, rocking her back and forth. "I wanna know now."
She giggled, "Don't you think I do too? Honestly, you're the one that was so scared to begin with."
"Hey, I didn't want Darunia pulling me out of bed like he did the first time we shared a bed," Kage defended, holding her close.
"Well, we're married now," Selphie said.
"Would it have mattered to him?" Kage asked.
"Maybe if you hadn't run out on the wedding," Selphie answered, turning around and poking him in the chest.
He squinted at her playfully and then kissed her. She rested her head against his chest as he held her close. "Do you think it will work this time though?" he asked.
Selphie closed her eyes and whispered, "I hope so…"
A couple of days later, Selphie and Kage had gone to visit Link, Yugi, Mable, and Raven at the lake. Kage was in his chibi dragon form and allowing the children to chase him around. Selphie, Link, and Yugi were watching this amusedly, Selphie with a look of longing on her face. Yugi smiled at her, "Can't wait, huh?"
Selphie smiled, her eyes sparkling and shook her head. "Mm-hmm," she answered. "We're both really looking forward to it…"
"Does that mean it happened?" Link asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Not sure, but I've got a good feeling," Selphie said, placing her hand over her heart. Link and Yugi gave her small smiles.
"I guess you'll know for sure in a few hours," Yugi said. Selphie nodded her head. Yugi looked at her seriously. "You do know it may be hard, right?"
Selphie turned to her, her smile fading. "Yes, I know," she answered. "But I won't lose hope…" She looked back at Kage and the children, the same look of longing on her face. "It will happen…"
The next day though, Kage bounced into the house excitedly. "Did it happen!" he asked, expecting to see Selphie run up to him and hug him and tell him the good news. But he didn't see her. He went upstairs and walked into their bedroom. Selphie was sitting on the far edge of the bed, her head bowed. "Selphie?" he asked, his heart sinking as he walked over and looked down at her. Selphie turned her face upward, and Kage could see the tears dripping down her face. She looked down again.
Kage bowed his head, his hair hiding his eyes, hiding a sadness. He sat down on the bed next to her and wrapped his arms around her. She rested her head on his shoulder and continued to allow tears to trickle down her cheeks. "Don't worry…" he whispered. "It'll happen…"
She nodded, still crying.
