-THREE MONTHS LATER-

"Are you ready for this, Max?" Nudge asked. She was helping with the white dress.

Today was the day. Fang and I were finally getting married.

"I sure hope so." I answered. The wedding was in a half an hour.

Angel came in with a piece of paper. "Fang said to give this to you." I took the paper.

You need to calm down. I can feel that you're nervous all the way over here, was scrawled in Fang's handwriting. I rolled my eyes. I scribbled a response (I'm being as calm as I can) on the paper and handed it back to Angel. She smiled and ran off. She was our little messenger while we were getting ready. So far we've been chastising each other about staying calm and sane.

He and the boys were getting suited up and goofing off while they still had the chance. And Iggy and Nudge were helping us, me mostly, be mentally prepared for the commitment.

I was too busy freaking out about the actual marriage thing. I was fine with the commitment.

"Max, can I come in?" a male voice asked behind the door. Nudge zipped up my dress and opened the door for me. I turned to get a look at them. It was Rei.

Rei's birthday had passed, and I had gotten him that DSi, with some help from Fang, and some games to boot. He was holding that same DSi now, along with his normal ornery smile. The only difference was that he was standing.

I smiled. "Sure." I knew what he was going to ask.

Rei beamed and walked slowly over to me, handing the DSi to Nudge. Nudge had already been our photographer before, so Rei and I smiled quick. Nudge had a habit of taking the picture as soon as she had it lined up right.

She clicked it and handed it back to Rei. He checked the picture, and showed it to me.

He and I looked a lot older than fifteen and twenty three in that one. I nodded.

"You're going to be there, right, Rei?" I asked. "To give me a high-five?"

Rei smiled. "Yep! Right next to the aisle. I'll even have my hand out."

I smiled. Rei had promised me to give me a high-five before the ceremony really started, so we had planned to do it really quick as I walked down the aisle.

Angel came running in again. I took the note and read what he wrote. Sure, Maxie, sure. Do you want me to come over there? I handed the note to Angel. "Tell him I said 'yes'."

She nodded and ran off. Fang would probably laugh at that.

Then I remembered the 'Maxie' he wrote on the paper. Don't call me Maxie.

I heard laughter and footsteps approaching. Fang. Jeez, he was fast.

"Heya." Angel bounded into the room, and Fang followed her in.

He looked good in that tux. It suited him. No pun intended.

Fang quirked a lopsided smile that made him look about two years younger than he was. "You're nervous." He crossed the room and wrapped me in his arms. It was kind of nice to have him be perceptive to some of my thoughts and my emotions. It cut out my whining time. "Thanks." I whispered into his chest. He laughed quietly in response.

"Sorry to break up the moment, but Fang, everyone's ready to go." Nudge said. Angel had already disappeared again.

We dropped our arms. He nodded, kissed my cheek and left the back way, shutting the door behind him.

"Does that mean we go wait behind the doors?" Angel bounded in from the other door. "Because Gazzy's already waiting with the rings."

"Yep." I answered as my friend Lila came in.

"Max! You look so pretty!" She was outfitted in her bridesmaid dress, the robin's egg blue and silver that Nudge had recommended. Her blonde hair was up in a loose bun, and she had a death grip on her bouquet of blue and white roses.

I smiled. She was like my sister. I had known her since I'd been 'adopted' into my mom's family. She had lived next door and was almost exactly like me. Except for the wings and the levels of girlyness, we were almost a perfect match. Ella called us the 'twins'.

"You look pretty too." I said and gave her a hug. "But your flowers might appreciate a little less pressure."

She looked down at her bouquet and loosened her hold. "I didn't even realize." She smiled. "I came to get you." She said urgency suddenly in her eyes. "And we're supposed to move in—" She glanced at the clock. "thirty seconds." She grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the small room, up the stairs, around the corner and to the half open door.

Marcus, Lila's boyfriend, stood waiting at the door, waiting to open it for the bridesmaid. Jeb was standing right next to him. Nudge, Angel, and Lila started to walk down the aisle as Jeb took my arm.

My heart was fluttering in my chest. Fang and I were actually getting married. Today we were actually going to say the vows. Tonight, we would be husband and wife.

I was surprised my heart wasn't leaping out of my chest at that.

"Let's go, Max." Jeb whispered. We walked down the aisle together until the first pew, where Jeb let my arm go and sat next to my mom.

I walked the rest of the way, and stood facing Fang. He quirked his half-smile and my heart fluttered even harder than it had just a second ago. I beamed back at him.

The Justice of Peace stepped up next to us.

And half an hour, several 'I do's, and a kiss later, Fang and I were married.

Iggy: leaving! I HATE this kind of crap!

Alex: ...uh...me too...-follows Iggy out-

Max and Fang: -hug-

Me: D'awww!
