"Okay, are you ready?" Jeanne asked Hao as she stepped into the living room. Hao sat on the couch, flipping through the channels with much boredom. He looked up at her with tired eyes.

"Yup." He said and yawned. He turned the television off and went to her.

"Okay, where's Pirika-chan and Ren-kun?" Jeanne asked.

"They're probably patching stuff up." Hao said sleepily.

"Hao-kun, you should've taken a nap." Jeanne said. "Yoh-kun and Anna-chan won't be happy to see a sleepy brother at their wedding dinner."

"I'm just going so I can dance with you." Hao said sweetly. Jeanne blushed but then scowled.

"Ridiculous. Let's go get Pirika-chan and Ren-kun and then we can leave." Jeanne stated flatly. Hao nodded in agreement and followed Jeanne to Pirika's room. Jeanne knocked once and then twice.

"Pirika-chan? It's time to go." Jeanne said quietly.

"Why are you whispering? They won't hear you." Hao stated.

"They?" Jeanne asked him.

"They're both in there." Hao said.

"Oh." Jeanne said blankly.

"Here, Pirika-chan, Ren-kun, we're leaving in ten minutes. Wake up you love birds!" Hao shouted and banged on the door. Footsteps were heard inside and then the door slid open. Pirika and Ren appeared together, both with relaxed smiles and holding hands.

"Yup, they got it all figure out." Hao muttered to no one in particular.

"Oh, sorry Jeanne-chan. We're both ready." Pirika said.

"Okay, then let's start heading out." Jeanne said as she shooed everyone out of the house and locked up. Hao snatched the keys out off her hands. Jeanne twirled around and glared at him.

"Give them back. Please." Jeanne said calmly. Hao kept his fingers enclosed around the key ring.

"Nope, I'm driving and that's that." He said confidently.

"But-." Jeanne began, but was silenced with a wave of his hand.

"Don't worry, Jeanne-chan. I'll get you all there in one piece." He said, but Jeanne was not convinced, but reluctantly entered the vehicle after a prayer.

"Is that arrangement alright?" Tamao asked as she stood far from the table, looking at a vase of beautifully arranged flowers. Horo Horo walked over to her and looked at it with awe as he wrapped his strong protective arms around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder.

"It looks perfectly beautiful. Just like you." He said and Tamao immediately turned pink.

"Horo…" Tamao sighed as the two enjoyed each other's embrace. Yet somehow, something just has to always ruin a good moment, eh? A rising guilt began surfacing within the pink flower. Horo Horo treats her like treasure for so long, yet she failed to see him. But the moment when Yoh is out of the picture, she immediately runs to him. Is she worthy of his love that he had shown for so long, but only to be pushed away until the darkest of times? She doesn't know. Is it right to fall in love that quickly? Fall in love with someone you'd never dreamed of loving? As doubtful uncertainty replaced the burning passion within her, Horo Horo laid on the opposite side at determination.

A few days earlier, he had made up his mind. He loved Tamao and she loved him, and that was all that mattered. He had gone to a jewelry store earlier, and selected a precious diamond ring, only made for his precious bride's finger. He wanted to spend eternity with her, always by her no matter what. So, right now, in his pocket, held a velvet box, full of love and certainty.
