ANNA'S POV

"You guys, what are you doing here?" I asked in bewilderment, but before they could answer, Sanako stormed up to them with an anger contorted face.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Sanako yelled, and my 'friends' tried to interject. "No, I don't care how sorry you are! You guys have made my new sister sit alone in pain! What the hell could you possibly want now?"

"Sanako, please!" I yelled. "Let's hear them out!" I begged. My step-sister hesitated for a moment, but she gave me space between me and the Xiaolin monks.

"Anna! We have to get to the wedding, NOW!" Kimiko said while reaching for my arm, which I pulled away.

"What are you talking about? I thought you guys hated me." I said with a solemn tone, and Clay put his hand on my shoulder.

"Aw c'mon Cuz, we could never hate you." he said.

"Yes my friend, we were only extremely angry with you." Omi chirped with a happy smile on his face. I couldn't help but let my lips curl into a slight smile. It was too bad that it didn't last long.

"Why should I go?" I asked in a quiet tone. "Raimundo likes Manuela...not me."

"Anna! Rai's mom told us everything! Raimundo still loves you! Manuela was trying to get out of the picture! We heard her talking to Jack about how they used the Window of Hypnosis on you!" Kimiko said.

"Wait a second...what is this Window of Hypnosis thingy?" Sanako interrupted.

"No time to explain San!" I said as I started to run. "We have to get to China!"

"Yeah, but how?"

I stopped dead in my tracks upon realizing that I wouldn't be able to book a flight and fly all the way to China in time to stop Raimundo from marrying Manuela.

"Do not worry friends!" Omi said in his chipper tone.

"Yeah, the Dojo-Express has arrived." came a familiar voice. I turned to see the one and only Dojo Kanojo Jo hovering just a few feet above the ground.

"Oh Dojo, you don't know how glad I am to see you!" I sighed happily.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's save the hugs and tears for later. Now, we have a wedding to stop!" Dojo said impatiently, and without further hesitation, we all left upon the dragon towards the Xiaolin Temple.

RAIMUNDO'S POV

It was almost time for the wedding to start, I stood at the alter, awaiting the music to start. A knot was in my chest, causing a numb feeling to pass over me.

'Stupid.' I thought. 'I don't love Manuela. I love Anna, but she's moved on. Damn it, why does it have to hurt so much? I just wish none of this ever happened!'

I looked over towards the pews and saw my mother staring up at me. Her usual jolly visage was gone. She looked serious and almost dead. It was as if she dreaded my wedding.

All thoughts were pushed aside when the Wedding March began to play, and Manuela made her way down the aisle. Master Dai stood beside me, trying to give me an encouraging smile, but his attention kept diving over towards Lady Miyako. Things felt so weird.

Before I had even realized it, Manuela was already by my side and linking arms with me.

"We have gathered her today, to joining these two people in holy matrimony." The priest began, and my thoughts wandered else where.

'I wonder what Anna's doing?'

ANNA'S POV

Wind was rushing through my hair as Dojo flew faster towards the temple. It was just coming into sight, and I could see people busting in and out of the building.

"Hurry up Dojo! We need to stop that wedding!" I yelled.

"Yeah, can't you fly any faster Dragon?" Sanako demanded.

"People, I'm going as fast as I can here!" Dojo said while turning to look at us.

"Dojo, look out!" Kimiko yelled just a little too late. Dojo came crashing into the temple walls; Kimiko, Sanako, Omi, Clay and I went flying towards the floor. I fell to someone's feet, but I didn't know who's. At the moment, I honestly didn't care. I was in so much pain at the moment, and the only thing that I cared about was...

"Anna?" he asked in that heavenly voice. I looked up to see that I had landed at Raimundo's feet. I looked up at him with tear filled eyes.

"Rai-Rai?" I asked, and his look softened but only for a second.

"What are you doing?" He asked in an emotionless voice. I felt a pang of guilt tug at my heart.

"Raimundo, I have to talk to you! Manuela has been here to ruin everything between us!" I said.

"How dare you! I love Raimundo with all my heart!" Manuela said, her glare trying to pierce through my already weak heart.

"That's enough Manuela!" came the voice I was least expecting to hear. Raimundo's mother stood up and an angry scowl across her visage. "At first, I didn't approve of Anna, but after realizing how much my son loves her and still loves her, I cannot allow you to take his happiness away."

I turned to look at Raimundo. "You still love me?" I asked. The brunette nodded.

"I can't help it. I just keep thinking about you, and I can't help it. I mean...I know that you and Jack..."

"NO! I never liked Jack. Manuela and Jack just used the Window of Hypnosis on me!"

Raimundo glared over at Manuela, who tried to give him an innocent smile.

"Manuela...you tired to hurt Anna and my chances of being together by tricking me? And then you come to me when I was weak with hurt and pain. That's just low." Raimundo growled. Manuela tried to say something, but Raimundo's mother cut her off.

"Manuela that's enough!" she said...or rather yelled. "I will not allow this to go any further!"

"How dare you!" Manuela screeched. "Raimundo is mine!" She turned to the priest. "Hurry up and marry us damn it!"

"No." Raimundo said, jerking away from Manuela. "I'm not marrying you."

NOBODY'S POV

Raimundo stepped away from the fuming Brazilian girl and towards Anna. He took her hand in his and set something in it.

"AH! Raimundo, you kept the ring!!!" Anna exclaimed. She stared at him with a joyful surprise. "I thought you..."

Anna was silenced with a kiss. After a brief moment of bliss, Raimundo broke away and said, "No matter what, I couldn't stop thinking of you. It hurt when I saw you with Jack, but from somewhere inside, I knew that it couldn't be you doing this." He took Anna's hands in his. "Anna, I love you, and nothing will ever change that."

"I love you too." Anna said, and the two walked up the aisle and to the priest.

"We're ready to be wed." Anna said sweetly, and the ceremony continued on.

JACK'S POV

I tried to sneak out of the temple unnoticed when I heard stomping coming in my direction. My body became paralyzed with fear until I realized that it was only Manuela. A surge of heat rose to my cheeks.

"Hey...Manuela." I said while trying to walk with her. "So, it looks like your plan didn't work."

"What do you think?!" she snapped.

"Well...I was wondering if...you and I could...get together?"

SLAP!

Manuela stomped off from the spot, but not before I saw how red her face was!!

DAI'S POV

Miyako stood across from me throughout the ceremony. Her eyes kept flickering back to me, and I felt terrible. Anna and Raimundo were able to grow stronger through the pain others had put them through, and yet I, an older man, still couldn't get over the fact that Hina had left me.

After the ceremony, and the happy couple were cutting the cake, I pulled Miyako aside.

"What are you doing?" she asked sadly, and I felt a pang of hurt.

"Look, about before...I'm sorry." I said, and Miyako looked at me with shock written across her beautiful face.

"What?" A sigh escaped my lips before I continued.

"Miyako...I really do like you, but with every moment I spent with you, I felt upset about how I was left in my past. I guess I was just afraid to lose you Miya-" I was silenced by a pair of lips on mine. I guess...that life isn't so bad if it gave me this great person to love.

NOBODY'S POV

The party and festivities went on into the night, and the happy couple danced along to the music. Despite the large hole in the temple caused by Anna's hasty arrival, everything was completely perfect. Things were even better when Clay had proposed to Kimiko. The sweet Japanese girl happily accepted as she placed a joyful kiss on the southern beau's lips.

To add to the good feeling of the night, Master Dai and Lady Miyako were together again. Well, as far as anyone else was concerned...FINALLY!!!!

The night carried on, and soon, all the couples came out of their lives of being alone, and into the lives of being together forever.
