Epilogue

Part Y

Such is my fate to be stuck at another freaking wedding. Honestly, in my time of knowing these freaking crazy old people, none of them have taken into consideration that I hate weddings. Despise them almost as much as I despise marriage.

I hope Reno never proposes to me. That would be weird.

Still, as much as I hate weddings I adore receptions. Free drinks, lots of hot guys to dance with. Not to mention the fact this wouldn't have happened without yours truly, even after those ungrateful bastards decided to run out on me.

Hup, it's once of Shera's brothers…one of the twins. Sorry pal, you had your chance. You are now related to Cid Highwind…nope, can't hit that.

Heh, I love being evil.

"Yuffie…"

My eyebrow rises as I glance at Barret, "Yes?"

"How many…have you already had?" he asks, gesturing to my empty margarita glass.

I laugh, "Who cares? It's a freaking wedding. Live large or don't live at all. You should understand that, burnt marshmallow."

Barret narrows his eyes, but here comes the happy couple. I grin, waving him away as I head towards the dance floor. I have freaking got to dance with Barret…how messed up is that?! At least when I danced with Vince there was some semblance of a good time…but no! Freaking Spike had to stick me with Barret.

Heh, burnt marshmallow. That was good, Yuffie…that was bloody awesome.

"…damn Spike…stickin me with this stupid brat."

Apparently Barret is having as much trouble with this as I am.

"I am not a brat," I hiss at him, shoving him towards the dance floor.

We join the crowd surrounding the dance floor, and here they come. Gawd, Tifa looks so pretty. See, this is another completely viable reason why I can never get married, cos I will never look as fine as she does in a dress. …which shouldn't be white.

Ah, well.

Cloud, wow, what a freaking push over.

You know, he tries to act all big and bad, but look at him…he looks goofy. I know why he doesn't smile now. It isn't cause he's an emo whiny bitch…well, that's not exactly true…but rather, another reason why he doesn't smile is because he looks like a freaking idiot when he does. I mean, look at him! He's got the goofiest smile evah.

It's ridiculous. I don't see how Tifa can look at that and be like 'hawt stuff'.

Totally not.

Still, he isn't even smiling all that big…I think he should smile bigger, but…well, at least he's smiling. You know, I bet if Vincent ever got married, then he wouldn't even crack a smile.

Maybe I'm being too harsh on Cloud.

Bump that, I'm always right.

Cloud leads Tifa towards the center of the makeshift dance floor. They're actually going to Wutai to honeymoon, and then the Golden Saucer or that was the plan. But since they already went there, then maybe they'll just chill in Wutai, or go somewhere else. I think they were thinking about getting married in the church, but…I think, that there wouldn't have been enough room, and cleaning up Aerith's church is kind of wrong. I dunno…it just needs to stay the way it is.

Anyways, someone's announcing the newly wedded couple, and how they're making their first dance as an official married couple.

'At last,

My love has come along.

My lonely days over

And life is like a song.'

Gawd, talk about sap ulitma…really. Still, Tifa's grinning so big. She's so pretty. Cloud doesn't look that half bad I must say once he's cleaned up. Cid told me he couldn't even tie his shoes earlier. Ha! Pansy.

'Ooh At last

The skies above are blue

Well my heart was wrapped in clover

The night I looked at you.'

I'm surprised Cloud hasn't killed Tifa's toes yet. Usually, well, the last time he danced was at Cid's wedding, and then, he was busy focusing on Tifa and his feet. This time he can't take his eyes off of Tifa, and I'm the one cringing cause neither one of them seem to notice this impending doom.

Gee, how unromantic and unwedding like would that be to step on your wife's toe the first time you dance as an official couple? While everyone is watching you?!

Weddings are too stressful.

'I found a dream

That I could speak to

A dream that I can call my own

I found a thrill

To press my cheek to

A thrill that I have never known.'

Barret grabs my arm, and we get ready to move out onto the floor. Cid's dancing with Shera (well, duh), that leaves Reeve and Vincent. Vincent…well…Vincent…gawd I can't believe I'm saying this.

He volunteered to dance with Marlene since at the last wedding Marlene got insulted by the fact that Denzel didn't dance with her first. How great is that? Ya know, I never noticed how much we keep to ourselves until Tifa needed bridesmaids. I mean, it was me, and Shera…but who else? Marlene got to be a bridesmaid too…how crazy is that? We need more women, I think. Too many men in AVALANCHE. Of course, there are the three unspoken members of the wedding party. Tifa said something about her friend Jesse, who passed back before I met any of these guys.

The other two are pretty easy to figure out. In fact, I can feel Aerith, and I'm sure her notorious boyfriend is with her. Oh the stories I've heard since Cloud finally found his voice. Sort of sounds like a SOLDIER I knew when I was a kid... he was a pushover, completely unreliable in getting materia. Well, he would get it, I would just steal it from him.

Anyways, so Tifa asked Elena, just so Reeve wouldn't be left out.

Course, because of that Tifa invited the rest of the Turks but even if that wouldn't have happened, she'd still have to invite Reno. But there was no way in hell Cloud was going to let Reno be in the wedding party.

You can imagine the enthralling chaos that is bound to happen.

'Well

You smile

You smile

Oh and then the spell was cast

And here we are in heaven

For you are mine at last.'

Damn, the song has ended. Barret pulls me out onto the floor, and now I have to dance with him.

We need to finish at least this song before we can separate. How annoying.

"If you ever call me a burnt marshmallow again—

"Oh shut up you big pansy. Let's just get this over with."

He grumbles something about me again, but I'm already moving on. Stupid Barret…I'm totally finding Denzel to dance with after this mess is over.

Ya know…its surprisingly strange how good Vincent's claw looks in a tux. Although his shoes wouldn't look good. I still can't believe Cloud actually convinced him to wear real shoes, and not clown shoes.

Barret drops my hand, and moves away quickly. Ha! Already done! I stay true to my word and find Denzel and dance with him. Little guy's shot up this past couple years. I wonder if it's got anything to do with him being better and all. I wonder if Geostigma could cause a growth stunt.

I see Tifa dancing with Barret, then Cecil, then Cid, then Vincent, then Reeve, then Tseng, then Rude, then Reno for about ten seconds cause Cloud forcibly removes him from the dance floor.

Heh, I should dance with him.

Anyways, so after the dancing chaos comes the cake! Cake! Cake! Woo!

And much like Shera did to Cid, Tifa covers Cloud's face in cake.

Of course the mental picture going through everyone's head is Tifa's birthday, and the unsolved mystery of the flying cake.

Somehow, and I'm not going to say who, (Nanaki…clever bastard) someone pushes me out onto the floor when Tifa tosses the bouquet. Now, last time I freaked out…but this time, there's no way in hell I'm catching that thing! And it wasn't even true! Unless you want to say I passed on my marriage rights to Tifa.

Damn…keep it away!

I don't want to get married! That means I'll have to assume responsibility! And that'll suck! Ass!

Tifa tosses it and it smacks me in the face. Damn, the woman needs to learn how to control her strength. Really.

"Augh! No!" I throw back at Tifa, but she dodges it.

No marriage!

I glance over, catching Reno's eyes. He wiggles his eyebrows at me and I roll my eyes.

Yeah, right, like that horny bastard would ever consider marriage to anyone.

Cloud continues the unneeded tradition by shooting Tifa's garter into a horny crowd of males.

It ricochets off of a champagne glass, and hits Reeve in the back of the head.

…erm…I hope that doesn't mean I'm marrying Reeve.

Scary.

Now here comes the fun part, where every one eats and dances and drinks!

Not to mention the bad ass competition…well…as bad ass as ballroom dancing can be, that is currently taking place between Tseng and Elena and…Reeve and...ehmahgawd…is that Elmyra? Damn! Look at the old woman go! She's tearing it up! Oh Tseng is totally going to get owned!

It's hard to believe that these two finally tied the knot, I must say. I don't think any of us believed it would actually happen…there was always so much crap going on…ah well, such is life.

But life for Cloud and Tifa…it's looking pretty damn good right about now.

...

Fuck. Reno's got a ring box.

A/N: Kee sticking around :P maybe you figured out what's going on here
