Allen stood at the alter looking ready to throw up…in a good way. He was lightly trembling. Lavi smiled and put a hand on his shoulder.
'Don't worry, she loves you.'
'I-I know, I j-just….I'm gonna forget my vows! I just know it…And I left them at home!
Lavi rolled his eyes and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a slip of paper and Allen took it, his face brightening.
'My vows! Thanks Lavi, you're the best Best Man ever! Am I really that predictable?'
'Well, kind of…I mean, we all can't have a cool memory like me, right?'
Lavi gave a tired smile, implying he was attempting a joke. Allen smiled back and quickly started re-reading his vows. Lavi looked over at the people in their seats. Almost everyone from the black order was here; he could even see Kanda in the back looking grumpy. Continuing to the left were the science department, a couple exorcists, some chick with red hair sitting with a blond guy, then…
His eyes widened as he spotted Keichi. She was even more beautiful then he could remember, with her silky black hair hanging down past her waist, and wearing a shoulder less purple dress that showed of her curves. Suddenly, she looked up at him and their eyes met. Lavi stared, then blushed and smiled, raising his hand in a kind of pathetic wave. Keichi did the same, but before anything else could happen, the music started and the doors opened.

Allen took Lenalee's hands in his and stared into her eyes, swallowing his fear.
'Lenalee, when we first met, you were my first friend in the order. You were smart, beautiful, and kind. I thought you were a great person, and over time, I found myself realizing maybe I loved you more then a friend. Though unsure at the time, I kept quiet as I thought I could never mean to you what you meant to me, so that's why you made me the happiest person on earth, so Lenalee Lee, I thee wed.'
Lavi handed Allen the ring and the white haired exorcist placed it on his wife-to-be's finger. Now it was her turn.
'Allen, I love you so much, I just can't put it into words. I just want you to know even if we're being attacked by akuma or you get attacked by my Brother, I will always be there for you. And so, Allen Walker, I thee wed.'
She took her ring and put it on Allen's finger. The priest announced them husband and wife, and they kissed. Everyone stood up and cheered, except Komui, who was sobbing into an annoyed Reever's shoulder.
'So…..Beautiful….'

At the reception, while Lavi was getting some soft drink (Allen had specifically requested NO ALCOHOL) he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to see Keichi smiling up at him.
'Hey, Red, been good while 'I've been away?'
Lavi smiled and pulled her into a hug. He pulled away once it felt awkward, but didn't let go.
'Keichi! How have you been?'
'Fine, missed you guys though. I can't believe Allen and Lenalee got married! Lot sure happened while I was gone.'
'Yeah…uh-'
'Keichi! Over here!'
Keichi waved to the people who called and smiled apologetically at Lavi.
'Well, I'll talk to you later, Ok?'
She walked away. Lavi sighed and stared after her. His chest ached just looking at her, and he was happy to see her again, but what was she doing here? Wasn't it against the rules?
He looked around the room For Komui. He was talking to the blond guy, so he went over there. Komui smiled as he approached.
'Ah! Lavi! Bak, this is the new Bookman I told you about, Lavi. Lavi, this is Bak, head of the Asian branch. He's been taking care of Keichi.'
Lavi and Bak shook hands.
'Hi, pleased to meet you, Bookman.'
Lavi fixed Bak with an icy stare that made him cower.
'Please call me by my name.'
'U-um, ok…. So it seems you're a lot different from most Bookmen before you, huh?'
'Yeah…Now, Can I ask you two something? Um, it's not allowed for me and Keichi to see each other, so why was she allowed to come?'
The two men stared for a second, and then shrugged.
'Well' Komui said, 'Since that was an order by the old Bookman, it was revoked once he retired.'
'You didn't renew the order' Bak continued 'So she can come back to headquarters if she wants.'
Lavi stared in surprise, and then slowly walked away.
She could come back…She could come back…She could come back…
He looked up. Keichi was talking to Kanda. Lavi felt his insides burn with rage and he stalked over there and tapped Keichi on the shoulder.
'Oh, hey-'
'Wanna go for a walk?'
Keichi looked surprised for a moment, then looked at Kanda. Kanda shrugged and walked away to find someone to torment. Keichi nodded and Lavi led her out the door.

It was a clear night with a full moon; it almost looked like daylight.
The two exorcists walked down a garden path and along the shore of a lake in silence. The Japanese girl snuck a quick peek at Lavi. His hair was slightly longer and he was noticeably taller, but other then that he hadn't changed much…..but for some reason, he had lost the mischievous happy spark in his eye, and when he smiled, it looked like he was forcing himself. It worried her.
' I never stopped loving you.' She stated suddenly.
Lavi stopped. Keichi tried to read his face, but he was expressionless.
Maybe he really was Bookman material…
Keichi sighed, but suddenly, Lavi smiled brightly, for real this time, and pulled her into a bone-crushing hug. She blinked in surprise, and stared as Lavi stood back.
'Well that's a relief', he said cheerfully, 'Cos I was gonna ask you to marry me.'
The girl stared.
'WHAT?!'
'When I saw you talking to Kanda I realized I'd probably die if you ever got with another guy. I love you so much, Keichi, please marry me?'
'Bu-but what about the rules?'
'SCREW THE RULES! Besides, I'm the new Bookman, so I can change the rules and do what ever I want. So what's your answer?'
Keichi stared for a minute, and then smiled.
'Baka, only you would propose at someone else's wedding.'
'So that's a yes?'
Keichi rolled her eyes and kissed him. Lavi's heart felt ready to burts with joy.

In the cafeteria of HQ, a boy with longish white hair and violet eyes checked his watch and cried out in surprise.
Laine Walker stuffed his breakfast down said goodbye to his parents and ran out the door. He was going to be late for school.
'Laine!'
Laine stopped to see a girl with short black hair and green eyes running towards him. It was his best friend and crush, Mikoto.
'Hey, Miko, your late too, not a good idea for the first day of middle school, huh? A Bookman is supposed to have a good memory, ya know…'
'Book WOMAN! SILLY BOY!'
Laine laughed and grabbed her hand and they ran out of the Order and down towards the town.
'Hey, Miko?' Laine said suddenly, 'Um, after school you wanna go get something to eat?'
Mikoto screeched to a halt and stared.
'What, like on a date?'
'Um, yeah…' Laine blushed furiously, 'I'll pay and everything…'
Mikoto smiled.
'I'd like that...'
