Chapter Two:
Today was the day before Wufei & Relena's wedding & the twelve guests were starting to arrive. They had decided to only have close friends & family come & since the wedding was at the same place as Heero & Hilde's wedding, no one had an excuse to miss either wedding. So far Zechs, Noin, Lady Une, Mariemaia, Howard, Sally, Dorothy, Hilde &, Heero had arrived. Duo, Quatre, & Trowa were finishing setting up the security system & would be there in an hour. Wufei had just finished going over the plans for the reception with the party planner, when he spotted Heero walking up to him.
"Wufei."
"Yuy." Wufei & Relena had chosen to let it be a surprise who Relena was marrying so that they could both see the look on everyone's faces when they saw that it was Wufei. The announcement that was sent to everyone read as follows:
You are cordially invited to the wedding of
Relena Dorlain Peacecraft
To
You'll have to come to find out!
Thank you in advance.
Signed,
Relena Dorlain Peacecraft
P.S: Don't bother with the R.S.V.P.
I know you'll be coming.
Heero wasn't too happy to be here without knowing who the groom was. "Do you have any idea who she's getting married to?" he asked Wufei.
"Not really, she's been quite tight lipped about it. She'll just smile at you & switches to a new subject if you ask her. It's getting rather annoying."
"Yeah, I asked her when Hilde & I first got here & she switched the conversation around to how our wedding plans were going. I didn't even realize she had ignored the question until Hilde was discussing our decorations with Relena. It always amazed me that she could do that to anyone she wanted to."
"You seem to be taking the getting married jitters everyone's been talking about very well."
"That's because you didn't see me last week. I blushed at everything Hilde said."
"That's different to hear. The perfect soldier blushing at everything a woman says." 'I'm not the only one who can switch topics without you noticing. We've been off the subject of Relena's fiancé & he has yet to notice.' Wufei thought proudly to himself. He'd learned that trick from Relena after she had shown him the invitations and had told him he would need to get them off the subject of the groom without them realizing it. "There's Len. Sorry Heero, but I've gotta ask her something."
"Sure. I'll go see what Hilde's up to."
Relena & Wufei were careful to never let it show that Wufei was the groom. Until it was time for the wedding to start & Wufei took the groom's place on the platform. Trowa & Heero's jaws dropped and Wufei snapped a quick picture with the miniature camera he had in his hand. That way he & Relena could look back on this day & remember how they had managed to shock the stone faced clown & the perfect soldier. He smiled at Trowa & Heero after he had put the camera in his pocket, both glared in return. Duo & Quatre, who shared the honor of being the best man since they had known about him being the groom from the beginning, were grinning uncontrollably at the two glaring pilots. They hadn't missed the looks on their faces & it was taking everything they had to keep from laughing at them.
When the music started, everyone turned to see Zechs walking Relena down the isle. Wufei beamed at his soon-to-be-bride & she did the same at her husband-to-be.
"I am very happy for you, my dear little sister." Zechs whispered as he walked her down the isle.
"I believe that, but you're also very happy that it isn't Heero up there."
"Yes, Wufei is much more deserving of you. Plus he makes you happy." As he gave his sister a kiss on the cheek before handing her over to Wufei, he whispered "I love you. Always remember that."
"I will & I love you too." She answered. She then took her place beside Wufei & the ceremony was completed without a hitch or a simple distraction. Unless you count Duo crying the whole time as a distraction. When the preacher said the long awaited lines "I now pronounce you husband & wife. You may kiss the bride" Wufei lifted her veil to see Relena's smiling face. He leaned down to kiss her & she went on her tiptoes to meet his lips halfway. When they parted, everyone cheered. Everyone except Heero and Trowa, that is, they had slipped their emotionless masks on. They still hadn't recovered from the shock of Wufei being the groom.
At the reception everyone gave their congratulations to the newlyweds.
"Wait to go Wu-man!" Duo exclaimed.
"Congratulations Rel!" Quatre hugged Relena.
"Miss Relena, you look like an angel!" Dorothy was in awe at how beautiful & happy her friend was.
"Thank you Dorothy. I appreciate the compliment."
After the congratulations were given, the gifts were brought up to the bride & groom. Here are the gifts along with who gave them: Dorothy: lace and silk black lingerie, Duo: black silk boxers (Dorothy & Duo had gone to pick out their gifts together as the gag gifts), Quatre: two tickets for a romantic cruise (no press allowed on board of course!), Zechs & Noin: four tickets to see their favorite bands (one pair for Relena's fav: Nickelback & one pair for Wufei's fav: Crossfade), Sally: a first aid kit (she said "for all the times he comes home with bruises & cuts from sparing with the other pilots"), Trowa: two tickets to his circus (thankfully on a different day than either concert and the cruise), Howard: the newly rebuilt Peacemillion (minus the weapons, although if another war were to arise it could be used as a battleship-everyone was amazed that he was giving it to them), & finally Heero & Hilde: a new sword for Wufei (like the katana he uses in the series) & a light pink lace and silk slip-dress (Hilde is the same size as Relena so they knew it would fit). Soon after the gifts were received, the cake was revealed. It had four layers (one for each year Relena & Wufei had known each other) & on the top layer it had miniature Relena & Wufei figures. After Relena & Wufei had given each other the traditional pieces of cake, the figures were removed & the entire top two layers were given to Duo, who grinned from ear to ear. His only comment to the newlyweds was "You guys know me way to well!" Wufei responded with "After knowing you for five years, I would hope we know that you have a bottomless pit for a stomach." Duo just laughed & took his half of the cake to a table.
The one minute that Relena was actually separated from Wufei she was found by Heero. "I'm glad to see you happy Relena. It seems like so long since I've seen you really smile."
"It's been three years, (heavy sigh) but without you leaving I never would've gotten to know more about Wufei and realize that I truly love him. I'm glad to see that you're happy as well Heero. I'm sorry, but I've got to get back to Wufei, he's probably about to pound Duo for eating a third layer of cake. I'll talk to you soon, okay Heero?"
"That's fine, Relena. Let me walk you back in."
"Alright. Wufei and I aren't leaving for our honeymoon until tomorrow night so we can attend your wedding."
"I will see you tomorrow then."
The next night (after Heero and Hilde's wedding), Relena, Duo, Heero, Hilde, and the rest of the gundam gang, headed to the space port & Peacemillion. Relena and Wufei would spend three days in space (while in space they would catch Trowa's circus on L4), then they would come back to earth to see both music concerts by the end of the week. After the week was over, Relena would go back to being the Vice Foreign Minister & Wufei would become her permanent bodyguard (Duo would only be needed for the night shift so that Wufei could get some rest or um…do other activities). Everyone watched & waved as Peacemillion took off into space. Once they were allowed to move from the cockpit, Wufei set it on autopilot for L4 & led Relena to the Master Bedroom of the new Peacemillion. The bed was covered in black silk sheets and a red cotton comforter. They instantly felt at home.
Three hours later, after finally recovering from the high they had been on during those three hours of making love, they started thinking & planning the house they would build in the Sanc Kingdom. They would build it on the palace grounds, but it would only have three bedrooms, four bathrooms, & no servants (perfect for starting a family & if their friends stayed the night they would be able to stay in the palace). After two hours of planning their house design, they got a vid phone call. Wufei slipped his new black silk boxers on (since they were the closest piece of clothing & because he knew it was Duo calling. He answered the vid phone while Relena slipped into the sexy silky black lingerie slip that barely covered her butt. They were right in choosing those articles of clothing, since Duo & Dorothy were on the vid screen. "Hello Maxwell and Catalonia."
"Hey Wu-man, how are you two lovebirds doing?"
"We're doing just fine Duo." Relena had finished slipping into the lingerie from Dorothy & slid next to Wufei on the bed.
"WOW! Rel, you look fantastic in that! It shows every curve! You did a very nice job on the gift Dorothy!"
"Watch it, Maxwell. Len's taken by me if you've forgotten already."
"Duo, you didn't do such a bad job on the gift either. Wufei looks pretty good in those boxers."
"Why thank you Dorothy." Duo was having a giggle fit because he'd just notice Wufei was actually wearing them.
"I give up!" Wufei was exasperated trying to talk to them, so he handed the vid phone to Relena.
"So what's up you two?" Relena already knew what they wanted to know.
"Have you, well you know…done it yet?" Duo & Dorothy said in unison. There was a chorus of embarrassed listeners falling over from the shock of their boldness. One of the ones who fell happened to be Wufei, who fell off the bed.
"If we're wearing your presents something has been going on. In this outfit how can it not?" She was of course commenting on her present from Dorothy. She stood up so Duo got the whole picture.
Whistles & catcalls were the response from the group. They came from Duo (duh!), Quatre (while blushing), Trowa (who did a double take at her), & one whistle came from Heero (she knew because Duo had the vid phone panning around the group so everyone could see her & she could see everyone's reaction). She smiled because Heero looked furiously jealous. Zechs covered his eyes so he wouldn't see his baby sister in something that revealing, to which she laughed at him. All of a sudden, Wufei appeared behind Relena & put his arms around her waist. His appearance earned a couple of whistles & catcalls from the girls. He smiled at the faces on the vid phone & said "Thanks, but if you'll excuse us, Len & I have to get back to our plans that were so rudely interrupted. After all, there're only 8 more hours until we reach L4." With that he shut the vid phone off, but not without seeing Duo wink at him. He looked at Relena's shocked face that was covered with a deep blush. "What's the matter?" He smiled with a laughing sparkle in his onyx eyes.
"I was about to say the very same thing, but you said it first." She was smiling now.
"Is that so? We'll we'd better not lie to them or Duo might try & hurt me for wasting a perfectly good opportunity."
She laughed as he picked her up in his arms & gently placed her back on the bed. When they finally reached L4, they were both practically glowing.
The End!
