Alternate ending of Wedding Dress; the Kai x Claire one. :] I don't own Harvest Moon, the characters, or the song 'Wedding Dress'.

Still Gray's POV. I'll tell you in a Author's Note when the POV changes.

"I... I do." Claire said softly, smiling at Kai.

My heart shattered, literally.

I felt a sharp pain in my chest, and I winced.

"Any objections?" Carter asked.

I had a super strong urge to get up and object, but I knew that Claire wouldn't like that..

I slowly looked down, and I could feel someone looking at me, concerned. I looked up, and saw Claire looking at me.

'You okay?' She mouthed.

I slowly nodded, acting like nothing was wrong - and it hurt.

She smiled and nodded back.

"So, no objections?" Carter asked one last time.

I stayed put, forcing myself to sit still.

"None? Good!" Carter exclaimed, shutting his book.

"You make kiss the bride," He said to Kai.

"I'm happy for you both."

"Thank you." Kai said, nodding to the priest, and kissed Claire. I sadly watched, secretly wishing that it was me kissing her right there, getting married to her.

'I deserve her more than Kai does...' I thought angrily to myself.

'I mean, I've loved her for 4 god damn years! And Kai only liked her for 2 months!' I nearly let out a growl, but held it in. I knew that I would get odd stares from people sitting around me.

Everyone got up watching Kai and Claire run off into a carriage with a "Just Married" sign on the back. I sat still and pulled out a little diamond ring I made myself that was supposed to be for Claire that night..

I stood up and went to the ocean, fumbling the ring in my hands. I took one last look at it, almost threw it in the ocean, but changed my mind, and turned around and started walking for the inn.

On my way there, I saw Kai carrying Claire bridal style, and she nuzzled her face to his neck. All I did was stare, and slowly continued to walk towards the inn.

"Gray, why so down?" My best friend Cliff asked.

I just stared at him, my eyes getting all watery.

He looked behind me and got the message. Cliff was the only one who knew I loved Claire.

"I'm sorry, man..." Cliff said softly.

I turned around, and this time, I saw Claire kissing Kai.

I let out a small growl, but controlled my temper and practically stomped into the inn. I knew what I was gonna do the next day.

- - -

I walked all over town searching for Claire. I finally found her at the supermarket, buying seeds.

"Claire..." I said softly.

"Oh, hi Gray!" She said cheerfully. If only she knew how I felt....

"Read this when you get home." I commanded her. She understood and nodded.

I quickly hugged her, and left.

Claire's POV

I was walking down the road to reach my ranch, and when I entered, I saw that Kai was still asleep. I remembered the note, and pulled it out of my pocket. It was in a small envelope. I opened the envelope, unfolded the note, and read it in my head.

"Dear Claire,

It's about time you know. I honestly don't like the fact that you're married to Kai now... Especially because... I've loved you.. For about 4 years now. I didn't know how to tell you, but I guess now was a good time. I'm also going to stay at Sunny Island to get my thoughts straight... And I'll be staying there for a few years. I hope you'll live a good life.

-Gray"

I started tearing up as I finished reading. Also, there was something in the envelope, and I took it out. It was a diamond ring with a note attached to it. It said, "I hope you like it. I made it. -Gray". Engraved in the ring said "I'll love you forever". I couldn't believe what I just did. Now, I wouldn't be able to see my best friend.

I walked to a corner and sat down, crying in my hands.

Today was probably the last day that I will ever see Gray.

So, how was the alternate ending? Review please.
