Forced marriages

It was finally the day they regretted would come. They had been woken up early and put in the showers. They felt like puppets as they were dragged everywhere. They had made them dress in normal clothes as their hair was dripping with water from their shower. They had been driven to a salon.

The men in charge of it began to dry their hair. "Damn this day to hell", Lovina sighed as she noticed scissors had begun to cut a bit of her hair from the ends. "You're going to look amazing when I'm done with you", the man assured. After her hair had been dried he began doing her hair. She couldn't help, but direct her thoughts to Antonio. 'Where was he and what was he thinking about?' she thought.

The man pulled Lovina's hair into a bun leaving a strand out. Lovina made a face. She didn't like the hair. "I'm not done. Don't worry", the man chuckled at her face. He braided the strand and wrapped it around the bun clipping it with a bobby pin. He fluffed up the bun as some strands escaped. He grabbed the curling iron curling those few strands that had fallen so they looked natural. He finally brushed her bang to the side.

Alice had her bangs cut so they went sideways rather than straight to the front. The curling iron made her bangs curl as they were pushed to the side. She couldn't but agree that it was looking pretty so far. Her hair was tied into a ponytail and the man grabbed small strand and curled them one by one until her ponytail was made of many small curls. Feliciana's hair was let loose and only the ends of her hair were curled as well as her bangs were made to resemble Alice's. "Splendid", the man complimented himself.

He took out a box and opened to reveal all kinds of makeup utensils. (Skip the description of different makeup. Just imagine they look like how they did in the movie only their eye shadows are silver with white). After he had done their makeup they couldn't help, but smile. They did look rather stunning like they wanted to. They were driven back to the hotel room as the officials held up three bags which were mostly likely their wedding dresses.

~~xXXx~~

The boys woke up late. They weren't hurried since they only had to place a suit on and get married to girls that meant absolutely nothing to them. Alfred finished drying himself and sat on the bed thinking of Alice, Lovina, and Feliciana. 'Have they finally gotten married to their assigned husbands or could it be possible that they escaped again?' Alfred thought to himself thoughtfully. "Agh, how would that matter anymore when were being forced to marry three unknown chicks we've never even spoken a word to. Even if they had escape there would be no way we could be together", Alfred whispered to himself sadly.

Antonio came in next already dressed in his black suit. His tie was silver and he fixed it lazily. He didn't have his usually happy expression. Alfred couldn't blame. There was nothing to be happy about today. Ludwig had his suit on too with a silver tie. Alfred sighed as he too finished off putting his suit and his own silver tie. Worst of all was that they were plain. That made this day even more horrible.

"Ugh, if only we could reverse time to when we were with the girls", Antonio sighed heavily. "Ja, I miss waking up Feliciana whenever she was late", Ludwig added. "Morning", Francis yawned coming in wearing a Marine blue suit with a black tie. Gilbert followed pursuit wearing a pink long sleeve with black pants and coat. "Good morning boys", Alfred's father said coming in smiling wearing a royal blue colored suit.

"What's the good for?" Alfred glared. "Whatever you say doesn't affect my decision to get you married", he frowned at his son. In came two other men. One wearing a red suit who directed Antonio, "My boy, you better keep your mouth shut and do as I say. You understand?" he said sternly. "Father, I don't even know her name and plus suppose ably the father can't say their names in the ceremony", Antonio argued. "Son, that's why they don't even put their full name on graves, they are inferior to us and don't deserve us saying their names", his father explained.

"You've always been understandable. What happened?" Ludwig told his father. "Son, this offer I cannot let go. It's very appealing. We could use those companies for our benefit", Ludwig's father explained. Ludwig looked down not wanting to look at his father for what he was doing to them. "Anyways it's time we head to the church. We still have to arrive before the brides do", Alfred's father interrupted. They all nodded in agreement. "The father knows this ceremony does not involve love. He will just ask for your answers and I know you answers must be yes", Alfred's father said to the three boys sternly.

~~xXXx~~

Arriving at the church the boys got in irritated and with dark looks. Once they reached the front they waited for the church bells to ring and the wedding march to play. "We can escape. Like Lovina, Feliciana, and Alice", Antonio whispered. Alfred shook his head, "It's too late now", he whispered. They stood there a few more minutes before they heard the much hated wedding march and bells played.

They didn't look back, but they heard as people shuffled to their feet from afar. They knew when their brides were getting closer because the shuffling off people sounded closer and closer. Suddenly, Alfred thought of considering the escape, but he thought too late when the brides had reached them. They didn't look at them only stretched a hand to them. They felt as they grabbed it weakly.

From the corner of his eye he could see the girl's face was covered with the veil and you could notice she wasn't looking up. She as much as him did not want this arrangement. "We are gathered here today to proclaim the holy sacrament of marriage between these young teen boys and girls", the father began. "Marriage is not about love. It is about responsibility and duty of a man and a woman. It serves as a reminder of a person's place in society", he continued. Alfred could feel the girl's hand tremble in his. Perhaps, she was crying.

"Now I will ask you three young men. Do you gentlemen accept these young maidens to be your wives in health, in good, and in wealth?" the priest said. (I transformed the marriage things the father says to fit their society). "Yes", Antonio, Alfred, and Ludwig said in unison. "Then by the power invested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride", the father said.

Alfred was hesitant and his father glared and mouthed for him to kiss her. The three girls still had their heads down. Alfred raised the veil and the girl looked up. The world froze right there in that instant. Because standing right in front of him, the girl he had married was none other than Alice Kirkland. Alice was just as shocked. "A-Alfred!" she gasped surprised. Alfred rubbed his eyes and opened them again incredulous of the girl he loved with all his heart standing in front of him.

They both grinned widely before they met into a kiss full of longing. Antonio had lifted up the veil, and Lovina was staring at him. "Antonio!" she yelled realizing who she had married. They met in a kiss, and he carried her for a brief moment. Feliciana jumped on Ludwig pressing their lips together when they took notice of each other. "I can't believe it", Alfred whispered placing a hand on her cheek. "I can't believe it either. Your last name, I thought, was a coincidence, but it was you. I'm so glad we got to be together. I love you so much", Alice whispered planting a soft kiss on his lips.

They decided to go to the reception. It was a glorious place. Marble floors and elegant tables arrange from shades of red to silver and gold for each of the three brides. The vases on the tables were full of white and red roses as well as some peach colored ones and the dance floor was enormous with arcs all around it with vines with flowers on them. They were on the second floor which also included a balcony outside. It also included bed rooms for when the children fell asleep or anyone in general equipped with the finest shower, bed, etc.

Their guests seemed to notice that they actually looked happy and they clapped and cheered. The surprised faces of the grooms' fathers, was very amusing. They were ones full of shock and surprise. Once they had headed out of the church hand in hand they were greeted by many other wealthy company owners and family members on behalf of the grooms. "Son, just a moment ago you were extremely angry to be getting married and now you look extremely pleased and joyful", Alfred's father said hugging his son. "I had no idea I would be marrying the love of my life", Alfred said his eyes directing his beautiful bride.

"You mean you three have met them before?" he asked. "Yes, they had escaped and ended going to our academy disguised as men until we had found out they were girls and we had fallen extremely in love with them", Alfred grinned holding Alice's hands as she blushed. "Well, that makes it much easier welcome to the family girl", Alfred's father smile. "It's Alice Kirkland Jones", Alfred said sternly. Alice chuckled at Alfred's insistence. Alfred's father looked at his son as if he were crazy and said pointing at Alice rudely. "Son, this woman doesn't deserve to be called by her name. Do you understand?"

Alice glared and in a fit of anger she grabbed the collar of Alfred's father's suit and said menacingly. "Listen very well sir. I don't care if you're a man and much less one of high class. I am richer than you and the other two boys my best friends were married off to. My friends are also much richer alone than all of the boys together. I demand much more respect. I would have expected more manners from you sir. Don't think that because I already married Alfred I'm going t be obedient and submissive there's a reason I escaped the first time. Don't you doubt I can do it again and my fortune will be nowhere near your hands", she hissed letting him go and walking away.

Alfred's father was shocked and Alfred only chuckled, "I love her so much" before he too went to catch up with Alice. "Dear son, I will imprison your wife and her friends if I must until they behave", Alfred's father said darkly. He walked away planning a vile plan for the brides.

~~xXXx~~

"Lovina, this is my father. His name is Fernando Enrique Carriedo", Antonio smiled. "Pleasure", Lovina tried saying politely as she very m disliked this man. "No need for being a hypocrite, girl", Fernando spat. Lovina's clenched her bouquet tightly. She wanted to punch the man in the face, but she couldn't bring herself to. "Sir, I guess you hadn't let me finish. I meant to say: pleasure if I could get to punch your face. I'm a young lady and so I'd rather have treated you with some respect although what I really wish is if you just…let's say…disappear", Lovina smiled venomously. Fernando glared darkly and said to Antonio outraged. "Why don't you hit her? She disrespected me!" Fernando yelled at Antonio.

"Father, you disrespected her first. My wife is to be treated with respect", Antonio frowned placing his arm around Lovina's waist. Fernando scoffed and walked away. 'Gerard, better get his plan running now' he thought.

~~xXXx~~
Ludwig's father on the other hand was extremely kind to Feliciana. "I knew your father and your mother. I was very fond of them", the man smiled warmly. "Thank you, Mr. Beildsmitch", Feliciana nodded down respectfully. "No need for the respect. We're family now. You may call me Arloc if you wish if I may call you Feli", Arloc smiled. Feliciana chuckled lightly and nodded. Ludwig couldn't help, but be pleased that his wife was going to be getting well with his family.

~~xXXx~~

"Alice don't let him get to you", Alfred said catching her wrist and pulling her against him. "He treats me so unfairly, Alfred. This is what I was talking about. I want to be free. I desire it more than everything, and I…want you to be with me", she looked up at him with such sadness that hurt Alfred's heart. Both had gotten to get some fresh air out in the balcony. He pulled a hand up to her cheek and kissed her forehead. "I promise right after our honey moon we'll get away from everyone. Just you, I, Lovina, Antonio, Feliciana, and Ludwig traveling around Europe like you always wanted. By the way I can't help, but tell you again that you look amazing", Alfred smiled. "Thank you, Al. I'd love that", Alice whispered smiling back.

"Damn it, he's so inconsiderate", they heard Lovina yell walking out. Antonio came after her and Alice walked up to them. "What's wrong?" she asked. "His father insists on being so rude to me", Lovina sniffed. "Lovina, I told you already. Don't care about what he says. What matters is we're together. You look beautiful in that dress", Antonio softly kissed her. Lovina blushed and looked away. "Sorella, don't be upset", Feliciana interjected coming up to her sister, Ludwig behind her. "I'm fine now. Don't worry", Lovina assured.

Before they could speak further the cops came in to their area. They grabbed Alice, Feliciana, and Lovina by the arms. "Hey, what are you doing?" Alfred yelled. "Orders strictly given to us, sir. These women have been reported for being disrespectful to their male superiors", one of the officers said. "Let me go!" Lovina struggled angrily. She was really strong giving the fact that she made both cops stumble slightly. "Don't struggle or we'll have to use violence", the officer glared squeezing her arm enough to make her wince.

Alice was in the same way while Feliciana looked scared out of her mind. Alfred, Antonio, and Ludwig pulled their wives away and the cops looked angry. "You will not take them. They are our wives and you are strictly being disrespectful towards your superiors by handling their now wives this way", Alfred snarled angrily. "Why haven't you taken them?" Gerard and Fernando came into the crowd.

"They will not be taken, father. I don't care about what you think anymore. You have gone too far. I'm 19 father, an adult. If I want you will get none of the fortune offered in fact I will exclude you from the fortune you clearly put under my name to be taken up at the age of 18. If you can't respect my wife or her friends than I will have no choice, but to fire you from our company!" Alfred yelled furious. Alice had never seen Alfred so mad before and she glared at Gerard as well.

"And you father. It goes the same for you. I can't believe you are acting like a mere child. Why don't you act like a man? You accuse a young girl who's only 17. I'm so disappointed in you, father. Damn it, I'm so angry. Why couldn't you respect what I want? Listen well, once we get off our honeymoon we will all leave and be forever gone if you don't stop this nonsense!" Antonio yelled shocking everyone. The usually cheerful Spaniard was tomato red. He was even shaking in anger. "Antonio, that's enough", Lovina whispered to him. Antonio looked at Lovina and nodded trying to calm his burning rage.

"Leave!" Ludwig yelled sternly at the cops and Gerard and Fernando. The officers nodded and Gerard and Fernando were shocked they had just been told to leave. They saw the crowd around them nodded in agreement and both men stomped out in anger. Lovina hugged Antonio who was still shaking, but this time in tears. Alice did the same to Alfred who had hugged Alice tightly. "Its okay, Alfred", Alice whispered. "No its not. Always, he wanted to make decisions for me. That's over now. He made my mother be taken by those same cops and now she's locked in her room this instant. I haven't seen her come out of there since I was 6. Only that last night I went to her door and sat down outside of it that she had begun to sing to me", Alfred began.

"She told me not to return after that because she didn't want father to punish me, and I always listened to father. Now all I want is to free her and I will", Alfred said determined. "I'll go with you", Alice grinned. "Really?" Alfred asked surprised. "Of course", she smiled. "You know, Antonio's in the same situation. Both of our fathers agreed to do this. They thought they could do the same with you", he whispered. "I never give up. I would never let them change me", Alice assured. "I know…but I wouldn't be able to be without you beside me", Alfred smiled.

"Lovina!" Antonio and Feliciana yelled startling both of them. They turned to see Lovina had fainted. It might have had something to do with the event that had happened. Alice ran to her kneeling. "What happened?" Alice asked. "A doctor! Get a doctor!" Antonio yelled desperately. A man came from in the crowd claiming he was a doctor. "Please carry her into a bed room", the old man said quickly. Antonio carried Lovina in his arms bridal style heading to one of the many bed rooms the reception had.

They laid her on the bed in a sitting position with the help of the pillows. The doctor took a small cotton ball and dipped it in rubbing alcohol and put it under Lovina's nose. Lovina gave a few groans and she opened her eyes a bit. "Oh god, I don't feel so good", she grunted. Antonio was immediately by her side kneeling beside the bed, Feliciana and Alice on other side of her. "I'm going to have to ask you to get out for just a moment while I examine her", the man said. They nodded hesitantly and waited outside the door, while Antonio shuffled a bit.

After maybe 15 minutes the door opened. Antonio and the others were let in, but the guests were locked outside. Lovina was fast asleep when they got a sight of her. Maybe the doctor had given her directions to rest. "So what was it, doctor?" Antonio asked hoping it hadn't been anything serious. The doctor blinked and took off his glasses shakily and placing his tools in his black case. "Well Mr. Carriedo you need to keep your wife under constant rest. Don't let her get angry, use to much force, or get too stressed. It seems that scandal we just had outside was the clear cause of her fainting. After all not only had she been shaken, but she had gotten extremely angry. It seems the little miss is well…how to say it", the doctor said sheepishly. "Please doctor, tell us", Alice said impatiently.

"Okay, well it seems that I must inform you that Miss Lovina is….pregnant"
