It has been a month since Louis and Cecelia made love. Of course, the school somehow figured it out because Louis became less stressed out and Cecelia became more open with positive emotions. In the office of the drama club, the two of them started talking about the next chapter in the play. She spoke as she brought out a book with the hard cover of lavender: "...and this one here is a song book of the sort. When I was younger back in middle school, I would remember the ones I would listen to and practice for talent shows and such...I'm sorry if it's not relevant." He said as he extended his hand to grab onto hers: "Did I say that you don't have to apologize? It's okay to tell me of even something like this. It shows me that you're honest, which makes me feel more at ease to trust you. Not just a classmate or as the member of the drama club, but also as my future wife that I have been looking for to love." She blushed when he pulled her in so she would sit on his lap. She's surprisingly light, which surprised him of how she can even fight so fiercely in battle before to save him and his father at that time against Saix. Before she knows it, he has the book on his desk as she's now sitting on his lap in front of him. Her hands are on his shoulders and his own are on her hips as he looked into her eyes: "It's been a month since we have made love that night. I would be called a liar if I said that I didn't want you all for myself with every chance that I have. Maybe, I'm being spoiled. Maybe, I'm being selfish. But I want to show you of how much I love you every day." She said with sincerity in her eyes: "I don't mind. To be honest, I also wanted you the same way. But as a hero, I'm trying not to be selfish as well. Still...it makes me happy to know that our feelings for mutual." He cupped the side of her left cheek and pulled her in for a tenderly passionate kiss. It deepens with their tongues intertwining and his other hand were on her hip to move her on lap forward and back against his pants. Pulling away from her lips, his kisses stopped above her neck and then he began to lick and suck gently onto her pulse as his hands are now holding onto her hips to guide her into grinding onto him. She tried to hold back her moans when having a feeling that the office walls aren't thick like back in his dorm room. There's the combination of raw love and lust in his eyes in contrast to the constant sadness that was formerly there before she came along. Before this action could go any further, there are four knocks on the door. Louis kissed Cecelia one more time before having her in a vacant seat on the opposite side of his desk in front of him before calling out: "Who is it?" The male grey wolf said out as he opened the door: "It's Legoshi. I was wondering if Cecelia is with you because there's someone with Bakugou, Midoriya, and Todoroki. She said that she's Cecelia's cousin or something."
Cecelia seemed to have an idea of who it is and she replied: "Is it Camellia Verdant?" Legoshi starts to think and responded: "Now that you mentioned it, that is her name. Do you know her?" Louis said before Cecelia could answer: "It is indeed her cousin. Tell her that we will meet her in a bit along with Bakugou, Midoriya, and Todoroki at the cafeteria." Legoshi nodded before heading out: "Right. I'll get right into it then." When it's the two of them alone again, she said to her fiance: "Camellia must be attending UA college and university as well except that she's on campus and I'm all the way here." He looked over and lifted her face when asking her: "You look a bit uneasy. Is it because her arrival made you remember the past?" She stared at him intently and replied: "It is. I thought and believed that I have put the past behind me because I have forgiven Bakugou. I suppose that it's all in the past because I didn't really properly forgive my own cousin. I thought that I didn't need to because it's not her fault that she have Bakugou as her boyfriend. However, I just might need to confront her if I must move on." He nodded and kissed her again before his hand clasped onto her own, "I'll help you every step of the way, Cecelia. As you have helped me. I love you too much to see you struggling in your mind, heart, and soul. Shall we be on our way?" She nodded and he took her hand to walk out of his office. Along the way to the cafeteria, this is when a young woman who is in Cecelia's age stood up and waved, "Cecelia! It's been a long time no see!" Camellia Verdant has the same skin and hair color as Cecelia, but her hair is not so long like Cecelia's Instead, Camellia's hair is medium-long and wavy over her left shoulder in front with a pair of garnet-colored fiery red eyes. They almost looked like twins, but they looked and sounded different. Cecelia spoke up while waving back, "Camellia? It has been a long while. Are you attending the UA college course on campus?" Camellia nodded with a huge smile on her face: "Mhm! And I heard that you are attending here. You must be feeling like this is your home, huh?" Louis could see that Cecelia wants to move on by forgiving her cousin who unknowingly broken her by making Bakugou her boyfriend. Thinking of how, he took Cecelia's hand and said, "Cecelia? May I have a word with you for the moment?" She nodded and allowed him to take her over to the corner of the outdoor cafeteria. Camellia wondered: "Am I missing something or...?" Bakugou scoffed: "Isn't it obvious? Your cousin Cecelia is in love with that red deer of a star student of this academy. But she's just being too damn shy because she's still a virgin form what the pervert Mineta would always tease her about."
Louis starts to explain to his fiancee: "This might be a risk as you might not be ready. What I'm proposing is for your cousin Camellia to join the drama club for the character as Aria who is Yume's deity cousin. You said that you need to move on and this part in the play could be your way of forgiving her if you go along with the story that you wrote." Cecelia starts to think about it and sees from his point of view about his suggestion. Then, she replied: "Alright. We could do that. I mean...I'm willing to do what it takes to show that I have forgiven her. Thank you for telling me about that idea. I actually was thinking of the same, but I didn't know how to say it because it is the drama club and you are the club leader after all." She received yet another kiss from him before the two walked back towards the group. Louis looked at Camellia and said this to her: "You must be Cecelia's cousin Camellia. I'm Louis of Cherryton Academy and I'm the captain of the drama club. I would like for you to join the club as we are given the opportunity to create a international festival for this school and for the UA. Before you might either agree or refuse, I would like for you as well as Midoriya, Bakugou, and Todoroki to see our working progress." Camellia was confused as a simpleton, but Bakugou shrugged his shoulders and said, "I suppose I don't see why not. Besides, I am curious of how even you would be the star of the show." Midoriya spoke up form that point in time: "Umm Kacchan? I hope that it's not for an insult or-" Bakugou turned to Midoriya and shouted: "Oh shut it Deku! If you got something to say, then say it to my face!" Cecelia was muttering "oh my god" to herself as she was shaking her head while pinching in between her eyes with her fingers. Legoshi turned to Todoroki and asked, "Is it always like this back then?" Todoroki answered with a sigh: "Yeah, it sadly is. Even though they're both childhood friends, he sure raises his voice like that towards Midoriya and almost everyone." Bakugou shouted back angrily while walking forward: "What?! Are you talking smack behind my back, Icy Hot?!" Cecelia said out clearly enough for everyone to hear, "Alright. That's enough from here. We need to practice at the theater about this time around." Some time later, every member of the drama club has assembled. The three boys decided to see how the practice would go as Camellia was called in to rehearse a few lines in the play.
Cecelia started off first as she spoke her lines: "King Adler? This is my cousin Aria. This makes her a secret deity herself but from the different family." Louis nodded and bowed to Camellia who is chosen to play as Aria: "It is an honor to meet you. As you might be unaware, Yume and I are about to get married tomorrow the following day." Camellia almost loses her cue but manages to get back on track in a second as she starts to read her lines: "Likewise to you as well, Your Highness. I hope that you'll make my cousin truly happy by your side." Louis patted on Camellia's shoulder and said to her: "It's okay to be nervous. This is your first time. And to let you know beforehand, Cecelia wrote the last two chapters and then this one for the play close to a year." Bakugou said to himself when sitting in between Midoriya and Todoroki: "Tch! So Miyamoto is a story writer here?" Midoriya added in for the conversation: "She's also an actress for the play as well, Kacchan-" Bakugou shouted angrily while holding back his explosions: "Who ask you, damn Deku?!" This made even Shelia and Kibi along with Bill and Kai with Legoshi jumped in a fright from Bakugou's angry outburst at Midoriya. As everyone is calming down a bit, Bakugou turned his head a bit to the corner and saw Louis and Cecelia talking on the side. But upon closer inspection, he saw Louis cupping Cecelia's face and moving in for a tender kiss before whispering something in her ear that caused her to blush and smile. He then thought to himself when putting the pieces together: "What is with that kiss? And the way she blushed and smiled like that...don't tell me that those two have sex or something like that. Okay, I know that this is none of my damn business and she's an adult in a way. Being eighteen and all of that crap. But if anything happens further than that, what's going to happen with her as the Pro Hero that she is?" The script for everyone went as smoothly as if it's in their second nature. However, it did get Camellia's attention when she noticed where her character Aria would betray "her" cousin Yume by trying to marry Louis as Adler the Grim Reaper King for herself by pretending to be Yume. From the storyline to Louis reassuring Cecelia not to feel nervous, that's when it clicked. This chapter is like the catalysis for a confrontation in disguise of the play. Camellia suddenly feels guilty for stealing Bakugou away, even though it was unintentionally because she didn't think that Cecelia was formerly having feelings for Bakugou. This is when she decides to go through with the play in order for herself and Cecelia to "fight" for redemption and forgiveness on both sides.
The following day turned into night as it became the night of the third chapter to play out. According to the third chapter, Camellia as Aria banished Cecelia as Yume to the Underground World so she will marry Louis as the Grim Reaper King Adler himself. Camellia used her Mermaid Phoenix Quirk to conjure a beautiful phoenix to encircle her with flames until they disperse to where she looks EXACTLY like Cecelia as Yume of which shocked everyone in both the crowd and in the drama club. As this orchestrated music is playing, this is when Camellia remember this song as she singed the first lines:
This day is going to be perfect
The kind of say that I dreamed since I was small
Everybody will gather around
Say that I look lovely in my gown
What they don't know is I have fooled them all
Cecelia as Yume was on the other side of the stage. According to the story, "Yume" is fighting through each imprisonment that's guarded so she wouldn't get out. She couldn't believe that her own cousin would betray her because she wants to marry Adler:
This day was going to be perfect
The kind of day that I dreamed since I was small
But instead of my love
To dance under the stars above
My wedding bells, they may not ring for me at all
The crowds watched in aw as this song goes side to side of what's happening. Camellia said her next lines in the song as she as the false Yume is getting ready for the wedding to Adler:
I could care less about the dress
I won't partake in any cake
Though I won't be lying when I say
"That even though I do care about her
I am really jealous of her"
Because the truth is that I'm in love with him first!
Although I do love the groom!
For guilt inside, there is no room!
For I still want him to be all mine!
Louis could see how dynamic the two cousins would be as he has a feeling that Cecelia and Camellia must be close. After a burst of flames that later left no burned marks on even the stage, Cecelia "defeated" the more powerful guardians with the Redemption Keyblade:
Must escape before it's too late
Find a way to say the day
Hope, I'll be lying if I say
"I don't fear that I may lose him
To someone who wants to use him
Not care for, love, and cherish each day!"
For I oh so love the groom
All my love he does consume
Oh my King Adler
I'll be there very soon...!
Cecelia used her magic to transform into her true form as the hybrid of a Lightsworn and the Sacred Dragon Slayer to play the part for "Yume" to transform as soon as she is free to fly towards the castle. The light during the transformation changed the entire stage from one half of a bedroom and the other half of the prison into the interior of a castle befitting for a wedding to partake. At this time, Camellia as the fake Yume is walking down the aisle with Louis as Adler on cue at the altar. Cecelia is flying around in the view of the crowd as if she's trying to travel as fast as her dragon wings could carry her:
Camellia:
Finally, the moment has arrived!
For me to be a lucky bride
Cecelia:
Oh, the wedding I must make!
Or he'll end up marrying a fake!
My King Adler will be
Camellia:
Mine
All mine...
At that very moment, the curtains opened as Cecelia as the Dragon Goddess Yume called out: "Stop! That's not the real bride!" Legoshi is lucky to play a little bit of part as he is Leon the faithful knight from the previous chapters of the play. Bill as the knight Adrian who is reformed asked, "I'm all confused. How can there be two of you as the same time?" Playing into character as the Sacred Dragon Goddess, she said firmly and clearly: "That's my cousin Aria! She pretends to be me so she can marry the Grim Reaper King Adler!" Knowing that "Yume" speaks only the truth, there is no point of hiding as "Aria" used the flames to revert back into her original form. In the script, "Aria" and "Yume" would fight each other for Adler as Camellia said her part: "Enough of this! I will fight you to the death for my love! You took Adler away from me! I was the one who's supposed to be his wife, not you! But you always have what you wanted and I don't!" Cecelia clashed the Redemption Keyblade in defense against Camellia's Phoenix Sword when transforming into what appears to be a hybrid of the dark phoenix and the Punishment Dragon of the Twilightsworn. As the "fight" is taken "to the sky" above the stage, the real confrontation is in their telepathic minds through magic:
Camellia: "You did well, Cecelia. I have to ask one question. Do you hate me for taking Bakugou away from you unintentionally?"
Cecelia: "Camellia...you should have known that I loved him first. I would tell you many times about him and you also know that I was about to confess as soon as we graduate. So..why?"
Camellia: "You want to know the truth? It wasn't an instant connection. I thought that he wasn't good enough for you. But overtime, I also started to fall for him. I didn't mean to hurt you by falling for him like you did before. But the damage has been done. Would you ever forgive me...?"
The crowd is in awe as Cecelia skillfully disarmed her cousin. Playing in character and also saying in honesty, she said out: "Aria...I understand of why you did this. Although Adler wouldn't see this action as being justified, I know how it is to feel that you don't deserve the best. But please know that I forgive you and I'm willing to help you out from the darkness that is consuming you." Taking this as a cue, Camellia as "Aria" clapped her hands together above her head and "vanished" behind the dark flames of a phoenix. The ending chapter is when Louis as Adler held his future wife in his arms: "I'm sorry. I have no idea that your own cousin is in love with me in her own way. It doesn't justify her actions and she needs to pay for the consequences for deceiving even me. But please listen when I say this. No matter what happens, my heart will always belong to you, Yume." There was a loud round of applause as Louis lifted Cecelia's face and their lips locked on for their tender kiss. Within the crowd, Midoriya and Bakugou along with Todoroki were watching the play as well. Bakugou said with a little scoff: "It's not bad. They could put in more effort though." Todoroki remarked softly as Midoriya clapped along with the crowd: "I think going all out would have destroyed this building like you almost did back at the Battle Training under All Might." Bakugou shouted angrily as Midoriya tries to calm him down: "What are you talking about?! You need to shut your mouth or I'll blast you all the way to Hell!" Midoriya weakly chuckled when thinking: "I'm so glad that Kacchan isn't loud enough for every student to hear"
Disclaimer: the song is called "This Day Aria" from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Some words were changed in this chapter to fit into the drama club's play. But the original work is from that said show. Also, the Twilightsworn is the counterpart of Lightsworn from Yugioh.
