"So, Harry, are you up for a wedding?" Bull asked joyfully as he polished his badge.
"Wedding?" Harry asked as he hung his robes up in his chambers
"Yeah, my nephew Keiichi is bringing his girlfriend on vacation, and since he's got such trouble back in Japan, I thought we could help!"
Harry looked a little pensive. "I dunno, Bull, marriage is a big step and all..."
"I think you could probably do better than Bull, Harry," Dan grinned as he walked through the door, an equally amused Christine following in his wake.
"Aw, guys, it's for my cousin...he's bringing his girlfriend over and I wanted Harry's help to get them married..." Bull said bashfully, accidentally knocking Dan onto the couch with a tap on the chest.
Christine's eyes lit up like a kid at Christmas, "Really? Oh, that's great Bull!" She turned to Harry, "C'mon, Harry, please?"
Of course, as Christine was giving Harry the puppy-dog stare, Bull was right behind her.
"Alright, fine," Harry sighed as he sat down, "I'll marry your cousin, Bull. Just bring him and his girlfriend by after the first trial, okay?"
"Thank you, Harry! You won't regret this!" Bull enthusiastically swept Harry up into a rib-crushing hug.
Harry just gave a sick grin as he awkwardly patted Bull on the back...
Bull looked over the Peanut Gallery, waving at his cousin and his girlfriend, before giving his opening address.
"All rise! Criminal Court part one is now in session! The Honourable Judge Harold T. Stone presiding!"
Bull pulled on Harry's robe as he rose to the bench, "My cousin Keiichi is here, he and his girlfriend are in the front row behind Christine."
"Thank you Bull, I'll keep that in mind," Harry gently pushed Bull to his normal place beside Roz as he sat down to start the proceedings.
"What's on the list today, Mac?"
Mac handed the first case file to Harry with a grin, "Oh, it's a good one tonight, sir. People v. Ootaki and Tamiya, charges are indecent exposure and public nuisance."
Harry looked puzzled for a moment, until Roz herded out two men, wearing a set of cheerleader outfits that were pretty darn short.
"MY EYES!"
"I tend to agree with Mr. Prosecutor," Harry grimaced, "What's with the outfit, gentlemen?"
"We are Tamiya, and Ootaki!" the two men shouted. "And we are da Chairmen of da Nekomi Instatute a' Technology's MOTOR CLUB!" they posed like superheroes.
A voice from the gallery cried out, "This is why men should never wear TINY MINISKIRTS!"
Harry looked perturbed as he shuffled the files on his desk for a moment, "Alright, and you lost a bet?"
"We's always tryin' ta get people ta join da club wid' stunts like dis." Tamiya said
Dan managed to shield his eyes and focus his thoughts enough to interject, "According to police and witness statements, Your Honor, these two...gentlemen...were performing some kind of cheer when Mr. Ootaki's high kick put more of himself on display than planned. When Mr. Tamiya tried to replicate the feat, the police were summoned."
Ootaki looked very embarrassed about it.
Keiichi put his face in his hands, groaning.
"Alright...but we're not anywhere near your school," Harry double-checked their file, "Nekomi Tech, right?"
The two of them nodded.
Christine stepped up, "Your Honour, my clients were simply trying to drum up support for their club. Admittedly, yes, they could've done it differently, but it was for a good cause."
The two men nodded vigorously
Harry grinned a bit, "Alright gentlemen, what exactly were you doing, then? I doubt very much that you were recruiting, right?"
"We were cheering on Morisato at a race." Ootaki said.
Bull looked up at that, "Morisato? Keiichi Morisato?"
Keiichi was a plain looking man with messy dark brown hair, who looked up at the mention of his name. "Yes?"
Bull grinned, "Hey, nephew! Didja win the race?"
"O-oji-san?" Keiichi said in surprise. "Y-yeah, I did..."
"That's great! I guess these two are your sempais you told me about?" Bull pointed at the two oddly dressed men.
Keiichi nodded. "That's them all right."
"Bull, please don't tell me they're here for what I think they're here for..." Harry asked with his head held up on his hands.
"With friends like these, that poor guy doesn't need no enemies," Roz muttered.
"Oh dear..." A soft, unutterably lovely female voice said
Dan immediately perked up as he turned around, "Hello! And you are?"
The voice had come from a beautiful young woman sitting beside Keiichi. She had crystal blue eyes, long wheat coloured hair, and somewhat unusually, had three small blue-coloured tattoos on her face: an inverted triangle on each cheekbone, and an elongated diamond shape in the centre of her forehead.
Bull put his hand on Dan's shoulder, digging in just a little, "Dan, you're not planning on doing something inappropriate with my nephew's fiancé, are you?"
"Nope, not me!" Dan squeaked as he tried to pry the vise grip off his shoulder.
Keiichi put his face in his hands. "Yare, yare...."
"Alright, alright..." Harry said as he pounded his gavel on the bench, "Mr. Ootaki, Mr. Tamiya, have you ever gotten in trouble at Nekomi for doing this? How about off campus but within the city?"
"Not very often." Ootaki said. "But there was one... well; we got an earful about it from the Dean..."
"But no actual formal punishments?"
They shook their heads.
"How's this: $100 fine and you promise you'll never wear those outfits at any point when in New York or if you ever visit again?" Harry asked.
They nodded. "Dat sounds fair."
Harry slammed his gavel down, "Alright! You can pay the man at the front desk. Case closed!"
The court rose.
Harry waved everyone down, "Calm down, I haven't called for lunch yet..."
He turned to Mac, "Anything we need to take care of here?"
"No, I think you can go ahead with the lunch call, Sir. Quon Le's bringing me something from home."
Harry nodded, "Alright, Mac. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll take a one hour recess for lunch and come back for part 2 of tonight's exciting entertainment!"
The court filed out.
"So, Keiichi, right? Bull mentioned you like to race, how's that working out for you?" Harry asked as he leaned on the table.
"It's been fine, sir." Keiichi said. "Though I wish my sempai's didn't get so caught up in it. I sometimes feel like I race more in one semester than someone in Formula One in a full year..."
"Wow, that sounds rough," Harry said, "How do you feel about that, Miss?"
"Belldandy." Bell said, giving him a sweet smile
Harry smiled, "That's a lovely name, miss. Is it on the racing circuit that you two met?"
"Actually, we first met many years ago, when Keiichi-kun was still at High School." Bell said. "We drifted out of contact for a while, until he telephoned the Goddess Helpline and I came to grant him a wish." she smiled fondly at Keiichi
"Aww...that's so sweet," Christine gushed.
Dan snorted, "Yeah, almost gives you cavities..."
Belldandy turned slightly and frowned at Dan
Bull stepped in before anything could happen, "Don't worry about Dan, Miss Belldandy. He's just grouchy when he doesn't get his way."
Bell smiled at Bull in thanks, before turning back to Harry
"So, I hear you two crazy kids are engaged, huh? What's kept you from getting married?" asked Harry.
"Father insisted that Keiichi prove himself worthy," she said. "That and a few other things..."
Christine frowned a bit, "Fathers can be a bit of a hassle..."
"Bah, her Dad just pulled the overprotective card," Dan huffed, "I've never had any girl's father do that to me, ever. It's not like lightning's going to strike if I'm lying, right?" He adjusted his tie as he started in on the mystery meat.
Harry and others had a ringside seat for what happened next. Dan was suddenly outlined as lightning struck him from every electrical socket in the room.
Bull, Christine, Harry, and Roz could only look on in awe.
A wizened old priest simply clapped his hands, and muttered, "This is fate."
A deep, sonorous voice boomed from the PA. "I would advise you not to think of My daughter in that way again, mortal."
Dan simply twitched a bit as an errant jolt erupted from his blackened tie.
The lightning had also branded the word Pervert on his forehead.
"Isn't that a little excessive, Father?" Bell asked the voice on the PA.
"Father? Kei, I thought her Dad was over in Europe," Bull asked warily.
"He is.... He's omnipresent..." he said slowly.
"So, friends in high places?" Roz asked with a small smirk
"You could say that."
"Well, it's been a pleasure to meet you, Miss Belldandy, and you as well, Mr. Morisato." Harry said as he stood up, "I think we'd better let Dan have a small nap, so Bull, if you'd be so kind as to bring him to my Chambers, we'll see you kids later?"
Keiichi and Belldandy bowed to him
"Alright. C'mon, Dan, nap time..." Bull said cheerfully as he carried the slightly charred prosecutor over his shoulder.
"But I don't wanna help Daddy farm dirt today, Mommy...it's Saturday..."
Christine and Roz shared a chuckle as they followed them out the door.
Everyone filed into the courtroom, ready to begin the next case.
"Psst, hey, Mr. Prosecutor," Ranma tugged on Dan's smoking jacket.
"What is it, can't you see I've got a case to win..."
Ranma snorted as he folded his arms over his chest, "Look, buddy, all I wanna know is, are you related to the Kuno family? That word on yer head looks like somethin' I did to him when we was in school last year..."
"Please, that's ridiculous..." Dan said as he turned around.
Ranma ignored him as he continued, "You're also bad at gettin' women, and you are a big lecher...don't even get me started on your obsession with your appearance..."
Dan rubbed his face a bit, "Alright, fine, I am related to those loonies, very very distantly, I might add!"
"AH HA! Toldja I was right, Akane!"
Akane looked away as she held out her hand, "Fine, you were right, you won the bet. What did you want for a reward?"
"You can't call me a pervert for the rest of our vacation, that's what I want," Ranma smirked.
Harry banged his gavel a couple times, "Glad you could clear that up, Mr. Saotome. Now, I think we've got our next case...Mac?"
"Excel Excel v. Lord Ilpalazzo and ACROSS, charge is illegal hiring practices and not paying promised wages..."
Excel Excel charged into the room, bouncing off the walls, the ceiling, and the tables, before coming to a stop. "I'm okay!" she said as she popped up again
Dan frowned a bit, "Goody. Now, could I have my briefcase back? I think it's around your neck there..."
She hurled the briefcase back over to him. *CLONK!*
"OW!" Dan shouted as he fell back into his chair, "Thank you very much..."
"Excel is sorry...," she said
"That's fine. No permanent damage done, Miss Excel," Harry smiled at her, "Now, Dan, what's the story?"
"Well, Your Honour, Lord Ilpalazzo and ACROSS deliberately refused to promote my client despite her seniority in their service. Instead, they made her the chief janitor and refused to pay her a living wage..."
"ACK! Hat-chan, what are you doing there?!" Excel suddenly yelled, leaping up out of her box.
"Oh, Hello Senior...this was such a quiet place, I thought I'd have a quick nap before your trial..." Hyatt said peacefully, "I guess your trial has started?"
Excel helped Hyatt sit up.
"You didn't need to grab Excel like that, did you?" she asked the frail woman
"Well, no Senior, but the back of your chair was so high up..." Hyatt said, before a cough racked her body.
Excel rolled her eyes and began to pat Hyatt's back
Unfortunately, this caused Hyatt to spit up a bit of blood as she passed out.
Naturally, this spooked Dan a bit.
"Uhm, that's not normal..." he muttered as he stepped back.
"Ack! Stop dying on Excel, Hat-chan!" Excel said, getting a car battery out and zapping Hyatt.
This time, even Bull was stunned, "Holy cow!"
"Uhm, Miss Excel, will she be okay?" Harry asked.
"Oh, Hat-chan is always dying. She'll be up and about again in a minute."
"Alright then, moving along..." Harry sighed as he turned to Christine, "And your client's story?"
"Your Honour, before we explain, I'd like to enter into evidence my client's proof that Excel Excel has never adequately fulfilled her duties," Christine said as she turned to the bailiffs, "Bull? Roz?"
Bull slowly wheeled in Excel's Mop and Bucket while Roz pulled in the TV and VCR.
"Counsellor, why is there a mop and bucket in my courtroom? Art might need those..." Harry asked as Bull set up the TV.
"Your Honour, those are her standard issue tools. You'll notice how clean they are?" Christine asked as she pointed this out to him.
Excel looked a little worried
Harry nodded as he looked at Excel, "Miss Excel, were you given duties that would require you to use these as part of your job?"
"Excel is always being given jobs like this by Lord Ilpalazzo, when he is not dropping Excel into the flooded underground chamber filled with crocodiles."
Dan piped in here, "Crocodiles, snakes, insects, various breeds of simian, and other assorted creepy crawlies as well, Your Honour."
"Your Honour, the video evidence will speak for itself," Christine muttered as she pushed the video into the machine.
As the screen focused, a figure in fine red velvet robes appeared. He wore a powdered wig and was holding a gavel as if to strike. His glasses glinted in the light as he gave a speech.
"I, Koshi Rikdo, after much deliberation, do hearby grant my permission for the Excel Saga anime to be portrayed in the form of a gripping courtroom drama." he said in a grand, deep voice. He then banged his gavel, leaving his hanko on a piece of paper.
"And this is?" Harry asked.
"Oh, he always appears whenever we do anything." Excel waved it off
"Alright," Harry agreed, "Continued."
The edited highlights reel began
It started with Excel being run over by a truck and being taken to hospital in an ambulance
The courtroom winced, "That's gotta hurt!"
And then began the series of her embarrassing failures and the fallout from them
"That looked like a bazooka," Mac said as he watched Ilpalazzo blow her up.
"Excel takes her punishment from the beloved Lord Ilpalazzo because she believes that he and the secret ideological organization of ACROSS is destined to take over the world!" she said, doing a 'V-for-victory' gesture
"POIT! Gee, Brain, isn't that what we're gonna do tonight?"
"It was Pinky...but now we've got a new goal tonight...we shall try to take over...ACROSS!"
Naturally, everyone ignored the tiny planners as the video kept rolling...
"Wish I had that kinda marksmanship," Roz commented as Ilpalazzo put a round between Excel's eyes.
"Oh lawsy lawsy..." The Great Will of the Macrocosm sighed
Harry banged his gavel, "Alright, I think we've seen enough; especially of that poor guy in the purple shirt."
"What will become of poor Pedro now?" the ghostly figure wailed. "Pedro is crying twin waterfalls as his heart is torn in two... !!!!" he cried.
"It's a ghost Pokémon! I'm gonna catch it!" Ghost Nappa turned to his poor partner, "Watch this, Vegeta!"
"Dammit, Nappa, that's not going to...fuck it, go ahead..." the Prince of all Saiyans groused as he sunk lower on the bench seat.
Bedlam was befalling the courtroom
"ALRIGHT! ORDER! ORDER IN THE COURT!" Harry bellowed from the bench as he slammed his gavel down repeatedly, "Vegeta, I know you can't control your partner, but a little help is appreciated! Nappa, Sit, Down, or I will let the Ghostbusters practice on YOU!"
At this, Nappa rushed to his spot floating next to Vegeta, twiddling his thumbs and whistling horribly off-key.
Excel sat back in her seat as Hyatt revived
"Alright. Now, Miss Excel, given how often it looked like that floaty disk with arms revived you..."
Harry paused as he noticed that same item standing in the back with the aforementioned Pedro.
Everyone turned to look as well
"Ahem, I would be the Great Will of the Macrocosm, actually..."
"Thank you," Harry said, "I would have to agree that you should be given at least hazard pay for your performance, as you seem to be an active combatant of some kind..."
Excel looked delighted by that. Finally, she'd be able to pay for food, and her back rent!
Harry continued, "Though you should also have performed your other duties, even if they did ignore your seniority. That said, I'm more than happy...uhm...is the video still going?"
They were up to the part where the Puchuu's had destroyed F City
Bull looked to Keiichi and Belldandy, "You guys know where F City is? Looks like they need some help rebuilding..."
"That would be Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture..." Keiichi said
Christine looked shocked as she jabbed a finger at Ilpalazzo, "You didn't tell me you wrecked an entire city!"
"Some sacrifices have to be made, so that the ignorant masses may fall into line under my benevolent tyranny." Ilpalazzo said serenely.
Hyatt stood up with her hand in salute, "Hail Ilpala...," only to turn blue in the face and fall onto Dan.
"GETHEROFF! GETHEROFF!" Dan screamed as he pushed the unconscious blunette onto Excel as he ran behind Bull.
"Ack! Hat-chan, don't grab me there!" Excel said. "Only Lord Ilpalazzo is allowed to touch that!"
Harry just sighed as he held his head in his hands, "I don't suppose I can get you guys to calm down without a gavel, huh?"
Belldandy coughed firmly, and everyone fell silent
"Thank you, Miss Belldandy," Harry nodded to her in appreciation.
Bell smiled at Harry
"Now, as I was saying..." Harry trailed off, "There needs to be some form of recompense, even if only for emotional trauma and the like."
Excel nodded
"So, therefore, it is my ruling that Excel Excel shall receive her full pay, backdated to her hiring date, with a bonus equal to one and a half times her normal pay multiplied by however many times she may have died or nearly so while attempting to complete a mission."
Ilpalazzo looked a bit sour now
Harry looked to Christine and Ilpalazzo, "How much would she make normally at her job, Mr. Ilpalazzo?"
"Nothing." he said. "She's an unpaid intern."
This, naturally, shocked the courtroom.
Excel's stomach growled like a thunderstorm in the silence
"So you mean to tell me, that you put these girls in harm's way for free?" Harry was aghast at Ilpalazzo's seeming indifference. Bull wore a dark look on his face...
"Oooh... Excel is feeling weak from hunger...." Excel mumbled. "But such mere trifles must not be allowed to get in the way of Lord Ilpalazzo's bidding!" she declared, a slightly manic glint in her eye
Even Dan's face was set in stone at this little titbit, "How long has it been since you've eaten, Miss Excel?"
The long drawn-out pause as Excel tried to work it out was very very telling
Harry gave Ilpalazzo a very pointed look, "I think, at least $50,000 US should be sufficient to start with, as that's about a median wage. We'll tack on an additional $100,000 for pain, suffering, and combat pay. Don't you think so Dan? Bull?"
"Six months!" Excel declared suddenly. "But Excel is willing, nay eager, to go to any lengths to serve Lord Ilpalazzo, no matter what the toll on her body!"
"We'll also throw in a stay at the local mental ward on our dime, as a free gift," Harry sighed as he banged his gavel, "Case closed!"
The TV flickered into life again.
Christine was walking up to the TV at the time, "I thought after they escaped that was the end..."
The static on the screen faded to reveal a sinfully gorgeous tanned woman with platinum blond hair reaching out to the camera
Unexpectedly, the woman's' hands came through the screen and gripped the sides of the TV
The woman's head came through the screen, and she grunted a bit as she squeezed out. "Man, that's tight..." she said, in a vaguely southern accent as she smoothed down a fold in her plunging v-necked dress.
"Oh, my Goddess..." Dan muttered as he started to drool a bit, his eyes roving her exquisite form.
"Urd, what are you doing here?" Belldandy asked in confusion
Bull looked over to Keiichi and Belldandy, "You know her, Keiichi?"
"Belldandy's half-sister." he mouthed back
Bull nodded at that and stepped back a bit.
"Well, that was certainly a flashy entrance, Miss Urd," Harry applauded her, "Can you do any other magic tricks? I can pull a rabbit out of my robes..."
"Please sir...not in the courtroom," begged Christine, knowing Harry's predilection to magic tricks.
Urd smiled at Harry and sauntered up to the desk. "My card, cutie." she winked at him. It read:
*Urd Odinsdottir, Goddess Second Class Management Limited License, Norn of the Past and Goddess of Love (papers pending)*
Mac looked over Harry's shoulder, "What does it mean, 'papers pending'?"
"I'm trying to get that approved." Urd smiled
"Alright, Miss Urd, what can we do for you," asked Harry.
Dan leaned forward a bit, "Please?"
"Oh, I'm just here to see my little sis get married." Urd said. "That and get a taste of The Big Apple."
Dan shivered at that, slumping slightly as Christine looked on him in disgust, "Dan Fielding, you're such a pig!"
*BZAP*
Dan got shocked again.
"Good shot," Roz said as she gave Urd a golf clap.
"Thanks." she said
"Okay, Miss Urd, I appreciate you show of restraint toward Mr. Prosecutor," Harry said with a smile, "Bull, why don't you grab Dan and invite Mr. Morisato and his friends back to my chambers, we'll discuss the ceremony."
Bull saluted happily, "Yes sir!" He turned to Dan, "Alright Dan, time for another nap on the couch," he said as he swung the electrified man over his shoulder.
"Someone stop the world...I wanna get off..." Dan muttered as they processed out of the courtroom.
Keiichi, Belldandy, and Urd followed them. Just outside Harry's Chambers, they met a dark-haired woman who also had blue marks on her face. She was barefoot, and wearing a black bikini-like costume with leather straps over the arms and down her back.
The procession stopped as Harry greeted the new visitor, "Hello, can I help you?"
"Ah, but of course, Cheri." she said, in a lilting French accent. "Je suis Peorth, and I am 'ere to witness mon amie Belldandy get married..."
Christine turned to Belldandy, "Is everyone you know that good looking, or is it just luck?"
Belldandy blushed and smiled demurely.
Harry opened the door to his chambers, ushering everyone in. As people took seats around the room, Bull leaned over and put Dan on the couch, Dan's suit still slightly smoking.
Keiichi gave Dan a concerned look
Mac noticed Keiichi's look, "Don't worry 'bout him, he'll pull through okay. Besides, with him out cold, he can't give people a reason to blast him."
Roz nodded as she stood behind the couch, Sharpie marker at ready, "On top of that, do you want him in your wedding party?"
Belldandy frowned at that, something that alarmed Urd.
Harry, not noticing the byplay, looked through his mini-fridge for refreshments, I've got some diet colas, Kool-Aid, and some bottled water. If you want anything else, you'll need to go to the cafeteria..."
"We're fine." Urd said quickly, carefully steering Bell away from the soda.
"You sure? I've got a hot plate and a kettle for tea, though all I've got is the regular cheap stuff," Harry remarked as he held up a package of tea.
Keiichi leaned over. "It's not good for Belldandy to drink soda...," he whispered
Bull leaned over to Keiichi, "Why not?"
"She gets blindingly drunk on as much as a sip of it," he explained
"Don't let Dan know," Bull said solemnly.
"Let Dan know what?" said the semi-conscious prosecutor, his face marked up, making him look like Groucho Marx.
"Nothing..." everyone said
"Oh." Dan slumped back on the couch, dead to the world.
Keiichi looked relieved
Harry sat down at his desk, a glass of Kool-Aid in his hand, "So, is everyone here that should be here?"
"Well, other than Dan, everyone I'm aware of is here," Bull said as he looked around.
Suddenly, there was a great up swelling of Heavenly music
The doors swung open as a bright white light poured into the room
"Good entrance," Harry mumbled.
Into the room strode a grizzled looking older man with a beard and an eye patch, wearing a leather cloak over a business suit
Bull waved from his chair, "Hello!"
"Greetings." the man boomed, before coughing a bit. "Sorry. I forget sometimes." He said in a normal voice
Harry stood up and greeted the newcomer, "Hello, sir, I'm going to take a shot and say you're here for the bride, right?"
"A busy man I may be, but even I would not miss this, the day of My daughters' wedding."
Christine sniffled a bit, imagining her daddy coming to her wedding.
Keiichi looked very worried. After all, this was Kami-sama, The Almighty One, and his soon to be Father-in-Law.
Mac sat down next to Keiichi, "Hey, buck up son, it's not like it's the end of the world if her father doesn't like you..."
Keiichi gave him a look
Mac leaned back a little, "That bad, huh?"
"You realise that my future father-in-law is God, right?" Keiichi said softly
"Tryin' to avoid that thought, actually..." Mac said.
"Ah." Keiichi said.
"So, should we have the ceremony in here, or would you prefer out in the courtroom?"
Belldandy smiled. "Could we have it performed as soon as possible, please?"
Harry smiled and stood up, "I don't see why not, let me grab my robes here," he walked over to his coat rack, "There we are..."
Walking back to his desk, he pulled Keiichi and Belldandy up to his desk, "Alright, guys, why don't you stand here, and witnesses?" He looked at the assembled group, "Urd, how about you and Bull stand here," he said as he pulled them just to the left of his desk.
Keiichi and Belldandy took hold of each others' hands and smiled at each other
"Alright, let me get behind my desk here," Harry muttered as he pushed his chair away, "Now, there's not much to say here, so I'll just start. Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today, in this Judge's Chambers to see this lovely couple be married. Obviously, this is something they both really want, so we'll skip to the best part."
Urd smiled as she pulled a handkerchief from somewhere inside her dress and wiped her eyes
Harry turned to Keiichi, "Do you, Keiichi Morisato, take Belldandy Odinsdottir to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, for as long as you both shall live?"
"Yes." Keiichi said, smiling widely
Smiling just as brightly, Harry turned to Belldandy, "Do you, Belldandy Odinsdottir, take Keiichi Morisato to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, for as long as you both shall live?"
"Yes!" she said, almost interrupting him in her eagerness
"Alright, now the ring please?" Harry asked Keiichi.
Keiichi pulled an elegant, restrained wedding ring from out of his jacket pocket
"That's very nice, Keiichi," Harry said gently, "Now, please place the ring on her finger. If you have any vows you'd like to make, please do."
Keiichi smiled. "We've already made those vows before," he said, as he slipped the ring onto Belldandy's finger
Harry clapped his hands before spreading his arms wide, "By the power vested in me by the People and State of New York, I pronounce you man and wife! You may kiss the bride!"
Belldandy embraced Keiichi and bent him back in a strong kiss
Roz smiled as she clapped her hands, "Go get 'em, girl!"
Urd whooped and cheered loudly.
The rest of the Night Court staff, minus the unconscious Mr. Fielding, joined in the cheer.
