Authors note: Well...here's part two of the story! I hope this one is alright.

By the way...I changed my mind. There's gonna be a third part. XD

Hitch: 1.To unite in marriage. 2. A delay or difficulty.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ceremony went by without a hitch. Well, except for Jeremie and Aelita, that is. Aelita looked gorgeous in her traditional white wedding gown, and Jeremie couldn't take his eyes off of her. That was obvious to everyone.

At the reception, everyone was dancing. Odd was trying to pick up random women, Jeremie and Ulrich were talking and Aelita was smiling and greeting everyone like all brides do.

But there was one, however, who was shaking at the thought of what she was about to do. Something that she knew she had to do...but couldn't possibly comprehend how the right words would come out of her mouth...

She Gulped. And walked up on stage next to the DJ. He stopped the music and she held a death grip on the microphone.

"Attention everyone...I'd like to propose a toast."

All eyes fixated on her and the lump in her throat couldn't have been in larger. She tried to swallow it down. It didn't go down. She didn't know quite what else she could do..so she laughed. That was how she started the toast.

"First of all. I'd like to thank you all for coming. Who wouldn't want to miss out on the inevitable wedding that we all knew would happen, right?"

She heard cheers and whoops, mostly from a few old classmates who really understood what she meant. Somewhere near the front of the crowd she looked out into, she saw Odd standing behind Sissi Delmas with his arms around her waist. They looked so natural together that she couldn't help but smile...which helped her talk without choking on her words, for a while.

"Right. So...I don't really know how to say what I want to. I mean, Before today-" she took a deep breath, "-I was Aelita's best friend."

She looked over at Aelita, who was standing next to Jeremie. She smiled, silently telling her that it was all okay and to go on.

"You see, marriage is a strong bond between a man and a woman; one that can't -and shouldn't- be broken. now, Aelita and Jeremie are going to have to rely on each other. They'll take care of each other and pay the bills together and maybe have babies together- well, you know what I'm trying to say," she laughed.

Unfortunately, Yumi felt the lump coming back up her throat again and her eyes began to sting. She did her best to wipe them away, but still they slowly made their way down her cheeks.

"Jeremie and Aelita, you are forever lovers, ...as well as best friends." She took a deep breath and wiped her last tear away-

"-And that's the way it should be."

She didn't finish the toast; just simply put the microphone down and walked offstage. Fortunately enough, Odd, who was close enough to the front, realized she couldn't talk anymore and finished it for her.

He raised his glass- "To Jeremie and Aelita, everyone."

And the room erupted into cheers as two sisters embraced.

Um..yeah. Definetly not as long as the last one, but there is a part three coming after this. But I swear that after that, that's it!
