Chapter Four

While Serenity was sleeping she dreamed how she and Marik first met………

Dream Sequence:

Serenity had gotten into an argument with Joey and she ran out of his and Mai's apartment and she ended up at the Park. She was sitting on a bench crying when a man approached her and he said "Hey, pretty little thing why are you crying?"

Serenity looked up and he scared the hell out of her and she said "Leave me alone, go away."

The man didn't leave in fact he sat down next to her and he put his arm around her and tried to pull her close and she jabbed him in his side with her elbow and tried to run but the man was faster and he tackled her to the ground and as she laid there fighting him and trying to scream she heard the voice of the one that would save her and he said "Get the hell off her, she doesn't want you touching her!"

The man looked up at Marik and he slowly got off her and stood up and he said "Why don't you mind your own business, me and this little thing are talking aren't we sweetie?"

That's when Marik grabbed the man and smashed his fist into the man's face and sent him flying backwards and then Marik said "Get the hell away from her now or I swear I'll kill you, now go!!"

The man took off and Marik held out his hand and he softly said "I'm not going to hurt you I only want to help you up." Serenity grabbed hold of his hand and as she stood up she grabbed hold of his shirt and held on tight and she sobbed "I thought that he was going to rape me, thank you for helping me."

Marik held her in his arms and then he sat down beside her and he asked her "Why are you alone here?"

She swallowed and then she said "I had a fight with my brother and well this is the only place I knew to come to." Marik wiped the tears from her eyes and then he said "When you're ready I'll walk you home if you want me to." And that's how they came to know each other and they eventually fell in love and well the rest is history……..

End of Dream Sequence…………..

When Rene woke up the next morning she found that Marik was already up and fixing breakfast and so she showered and got dressed and as she sat down at the table he had the food on the table and as he sat down he said "Why don't you talk to Mai about our wanting to get married next week-end and maybe she can help you plan it."

Rene smiled as she ate this delicious food and then she said "I know exactly where I want our Wedding to be, at the Park where we first met."

Marik reached out and touched her face and he said "I'd love to get married there too, but can we have a Wedding in the Park?"

Rene then said "Well that's another thing I'll talk to Mai about today and I really hope that we can do it."

When Marik dropped her off at her brother's place and kissed her good-bye, Rene went inside and Mai knew that something was bothering her and she said "What's going on?"

Rene then told her and Mai clapped her hands and then she said "Well I know someone who can find out for us" and then she called Seto Kaiba's wife Melissa. When Mai told Melissa what her sister-in-law wanted well Melissa laughed and said that's so romantic and I'll call my dad (her father was the director of Parks and Recreations) and ask him and I'll get right back with you."

So then Rene took out her sketch pad and started drawing what she wanted her Wedding Gown to look like and Mai stood behind her and she said "That's a beautiful gown, but why the peasant look?"

Rene looked up from her drawing and she said "Our mom and dad got married in Domino Park just after it was dedicated and she wore a long peasant gown with baby's breathe in her hair and dad had a white long sleeved shirt kind of like what a gaucho would wear and they were both bear footed but we'll be wearing shoes but Marik and I want our Wedding to be kind of similar as my parents."

Mai then said "What color do you want your gown to be, the reason I'm asking is because Melissa is a very good seamstress and I know that if we ask her she'll probably make your gown for you."

Rene told Mai "I love a light blue with little white flowers all over it." Mai smiled and then she said "I bet if we go to the new fabric store at the Mall we can find just the right material that you're looking for."

Just then the phone rang and it was Melissa and she said "Dad said that he'll get your sister-in-law and her husband to be a special permit for their Wedding." Mai then asked her "I was wondering if Serenity came up with a drawing of what she'd love her gown to look like and found the right material, could you maybe make it for her?"

Melissa then smiled as she said "I'd be honored to do it, now all I'll need is the drawing, the fabric and her measurements and when I'm done she'll have to come over here to the Manor and be fitted, will that be alright?"

Mai told Rene and she squealed and Mai laughed and she said to Melissa "From her reaction she'd be more then willing, and Melissa thanks again for doing this."

Melissa then said "Hey that's what friends do for their friends isn't it; help them when they need the help?"

Mai then said good-bye and she told Rene that Melissa was only to glad to make the gown for her." Rene had tears in her eyes and she held Mai tight and then she froze and Mai asked "What's wrong?"

Rene closed her eyes and she said "I forgot to get the invitations ready, find someone to help me with the food and oh, no what about the Minister?"

Mai laughed as she held Rene and then she said "I know several people that will be only to happy to help because they all owe me a favor or to, so don't cry we'll be ready for your and Marik's Wedding."

Later that afternoon, Mai and called several people and she had all the things ready and now all Rene had to do was make out the invitations and then next week-end she and Marik would be married in the Park and they'd embark on their new lives together as man, wife and best of all parents.

When Marik came to get Rene and bring her home she had some really good news for him about their Wedding and he was so happy that they both had tears in their eyes as they knew that soon they would be husband and wife and most of all they'd be parents and that was the best feeling in the world for both of them.
