Two weeks later, it was moving day for Sora and Kairi. They both spent the past two weeks, packing up their stuff and saying goodbye to their old houses. Sora packed up all his stuff and moved all his furniture out by himself since he was pretty strong. Riku offered to help Sora with the furniture, but Sora said that he should go help Kairi since she needed someone to move her furniture out and she couldn't do it while she was pregnant, so Riku went over to Kairi's house. Kairi packed up her stuff from her bedroom and the bathroom while Hurky and Alexa packed up the stuff from the kitchen and the living room into boxes while Ryo, with her good strength, moved Kairi's couch out by herself until Riku showed up.
Riku pulled into Kairi's driveway and got out to find Ryo dragging outthe couch from the front door. Riku immediately ran to Ryo to help.
"Ryo, why are you moving Kairi's couch by yourself?" asked Riku as he grabbed the other side of the couch.
"I'm pretty strong!" said Ryo. "And you know it! I can pick you up and you're about twice my weight!"
She and Riku pulled the couch out of Kairi's house.
Up in the attic, Kairi was going through all the boxes the had up there since she moved in when she turned 18, throwing out what she thought was insignificant to her, like her backpack from senior year which still had papers dated from 2007 and 2008. All her old Economics tests were in there, mostly with B's and one A. Mr. Ward may not have been fond of Hurky, who had a hard time with him, but he was more fond of Kairi since she was an A student. She tossed them in the garbage can beside her and noticed her senior yearbook in there. She picked it up and blew the dust off of it. She opened it to the senior portraits and saw Sora's, who, in full color instead of the black and white for the underclassmen,was wearing a suit and grinning like a jack-o-lantern. She turned to hers and saw that she was wearing a purple dress and a white and pink flower in her hair. She then saw Ryo's, who was wearing a light blue dress that was a little like a Japanese dress. Next, she saw Alexa's picture, in which she was wearing a pink dress with a pink shawl, and her hair had been done. Finally, she saw Riku's portrait, with him also wearing a suit, but he was smirking and he had long, silver hair. Kairi giggled. Riku always used to make a big deal about his hair, but now it was short and he was growing it out once again.
Several hours later, Sora pulled into Kairi's driveway, opened his door, and went over to Riku's car, where Riku, Ryo, Alexa, and Hurky were hauling boxes into Riku's cars.
"You're just barely getting the boxes into the car?" asked Sora. "I've already got all my stuff over at the house! And I'm only one person!"
"Well, who knew that Kairi had so much stuff?" grunted Rikuas he slammed the last heavy box into the trunk of his car. Then, he slammed the door shut. "Alright, that's the last of it! Let's move on out!"
Everyone got into their cars and drove all the way to Sora and Kairi's new house. Then, they got out and began to unload Riku's car and bring them into the house. Hurky began to take out the kitchen stuff and Kairi helped her, since she felt that it was the only thing she could do besides sit around and hold her stomach. Sora, Riku, and Ryomoved the furniture into the house, while Alexa put some of Kairi's stuff into the living room and the den.
It tookfour long hours to move the furniture and possessions from two one-bedroom houses into a three-bedroom house. The only rooms that stood empty were Skye's room and his playroom.
Everyone sat down in the newly furnished living room in exhaustion, including Kairi, who did light work. Nobody was mad, because they all understood that Kairi could not do stuff like lift boxes and move furniture in her condition.
"That's all, folks!" said Riku jokingly in a tired voice.
"Man am I hungry!" said Hurky.
Ryo pulled out her cell phone. "Who wants to order pizza?" she asked.
"I do!" exclaimed Kairi. "I do have a craving!"
A week later was the wedding. Friends and family showed up. Yuna's mother was hospitalized, so Kairi's sister, Alyssa filled in for her as bridesmaid. Numerous guests were invited and they showed up, like Roxas (from KH2), Leon, Aerith and Cloud (who were now married and brought their fussy six year old son, Zachary, with them, but he was also ringbearer), Cid, Yuffie, Donald and Daisy, Goofy and his wife, Gretchen and their son, Max, King Mickey and Queen Minnie, Namine and Justin Baker (who Sora made peace with, only because Kairi made him) and Justin Baker's grandfather (who Riku and Sora nicknamed Old Man Baker back when he was Riku's neighbor, but Riku finally made peace with him after graduating high school and Ryo made him), and Sora and Kairi's relatives, Sora's parents and his older brother, Ethan, who also brought his girlfriend with him, and Kairi's parents and her older sister, Lani, who brought her husband and two daughters, Harmony and Allie (Harmony was the flower girl), Jared, and Alyssa. Sora's cousin Skye was unable to make the wedding, but his parents did.
As Sora got ready in a tent on the beach (where the wedding was held), Riku stood by him, helping him and talking to him.
"So, what was it like to wake up next to Kairi themorning afteryou two 'did it?'" asked Riku.
Sora glared at him.
"What?" asked Riku ruefully. "Did you two see each other in the same bed and scream?"
Sora stopped tying his bow tie to turn to Riku. "If you really want to know, Kairi and I only remember most of what we did that night and the next morning, we just lied there in bed with killer hangovers for several hours. You happy now?" he said icily.
Riku was silent. Sora went back to tying his bow tie. Then, he put on his cuff links and turned to Riku.
"How do I look?" he asked.
"You look great." said Riku. "Go get em!"
Sora laughed. Riku may not saya lot of wise things, but he was still a good friend.
Sora's father poked his head in the tent.
"Sora, are you ready?" he asked.
Sora nodded. "Come on." he said.
He, Riku, and Sora's father walked to the makeshift altar where Sora and Kairi were to be wed, where the guests were sitting and the priest to marry them was standing.
"Alright, everything's set." said Sora. He turned and noticed that Lani was running towards Sora and stopped when she reached him.
"Okay, she's ready." she whispered.
"Great!" said Sora.
She ran to her seat, and Sora and Riku went to their places on the altar. The woman playing the organ began to play the "Here Comes The Bride" song and everyone sitting in the audience turned to the east side of the beach, where Zachary came, carrying the two rings on a small red pillow, Harmony followed after Zachary, tossing rose petals on the red carpet, and then Hurky, Ryo, Alexa, Selphie, and Alyssa, in their pink and white bridesmaids dresses, came parading slowly onto the scene. Then, everyone sitting down stood up when Kairi, looking absolutely stunning in hermaternity weddingdress, the strappy white shoes on her feet,and a veil over her beautifully donehair,and her father, with their arms linked, walked down the aisle. In Kairi's other hand wasa bouquet of white flowers. Finally, the music stopped and Kairi let go of her father's arm and joined Sora at the front.
"Dearly beloved." said the priest. "We are gathered here today to join Sora Christopher Hart and Kairi Chantelle McCormick in holy matrimony..."
And so, the priest recited the vows. Then came the part where Sora and Kairi were to slip the rings on each other's fingers. (I forgot the whole wedding ritual, but I didn't want to ask people).
"Do you, Sora, take Kairi to be your lawfully wedded wife?" asked the priest.
Sora took Kairi's hand and smiled. "I do." he said.
"And do you, Kairi, take Sora to be your lawfully wedded husband?" asked the priest to Kairi.
Kairi smiled and blushed furiously. "I do." she said.
"Is there anyone here who thinks these two should not get married, speak now or forever hold your peace." said the priest.
No one said anything.
"You may now kiss the bride." finished the priest as he closed his book.
Sora and Kairi leaned closer to each other and kissed a long kiss. Finally, they let go and the music began to play again and everyone cheered...
At the reception, everyone talked and ate and was merry. Finally, Sora and Kairi cut the tall wedding cake and everyone got some cake. Then, there was the sound of a spoon tapping on a wine glass.
"Ahem!" said Riku loudly.
Everyone fell silent.
"I would like to propose a toast!" announced Riku. "to my very first best friends. You guys havebeen there from the beginning for me and everyone else and we all love you both, peace out and have a happy life together with your child!"
"Cheers!" said everyone. Then, they all drank from their wine glasses, except Kairi, who drank apple cider (she couldn't have alcohol while being 4 months pregnant).
After the reception, Sora and Kairi walked out with everyone tossing birdseed on them as they ducked into Sora's car, which had Just Married painted on the back of his windows with streamers and cans hanging from the bumper. Finally, they drove off...
