Getsuyobi (those otaku that don't know what this means, it's 'Monday')
'Good morning, Hikari,' Megumi's board said.
"'Morning!" Hikari said enthusiastically.
"Hikari! Let's go shopping!" Akira squealed as she hugged Hikari.
"Eh? But we have school!" Hikari protested. 'Akira is heavy', Hikari thought.
"Nonsense! I requested a shopping day to the director as an extracurricular activity. We're fine as long as we hand in a report!" Akira said cheerfully. Akira began dragging Hikari away from the greenhouse. Megumi followed quickly.
"How does shopping count as an extracurricular activity?!" Hikari shouted in confusion.
Some wedding dress store
Hikari was wearing the exact same dress that she wore in the Elusive Dream World. Well, kind of. This time she didn't radiate light or shimmer or float, but she was still breathtaking.
"Oh Hikari! You're so gorgeous!" Akira gushed.
"Um...why are we shopping for wedding dresses?" Hikari asked nervously.
"Silly! Hikari is getting...is getting…" Akira began sobbing in realization that her angel was being married to a demon.
'Hikari, you're getting married. Don't you want to wear this beautiful dress?' Megumi's board said.
"Hm, it's kinda long. How am I supposed to run like this?" Hikari asked. Megumi shook her head.
'This is a wedding. You don't need to run. Embrace your womanly side,' Megumi wrote and showed Hikari.
"Okaa-chan says I'm not a woman," Hikari said blankly. Megumi shook her head in a pitying way.
'Sorry to put this bluntly, but as long as you have a vagina, you're a woman,' Megumi's board said. Hikari blushed until smoke blew out of her ears.
"But I, I haven't um, I-I-I...I haven't had my period yet, Megumi! I'm 17, yet it's not here! What do I do?!" Hikari said quickly, embarrassed.
'It'll come, Hikari. You're just a late bloomer, that's all. Remember: the last flower that blooms is the most beautiful of all,' Megumi wrote. Hikari smiled, still red.
"Thanks Megumi," Hikari said. Megumi scribbled down something quickly and showed Hikari.
'Though I wonder, how will Hikari get married if she can't even show public affection? You have to kiss Kei in front of everyone, you know. And how will Hikari have children if she's always embarrassed even after a kiss?' Hikari blushed even harder. Akira broke out of her daze.
"How can an angel and a demon get married?! It can't happen! Their children will turn into vampires and werewolves!" Akira screamed. Hikari and Megumi simply looked at each other.
Over at the greenhouse with the rest of the SA…
"Where is Hikari?" Kei asked Ryuu.
"I saw Akira and Megumi take her in a limousine somewhere a few hours earlier. They should be back in a few minutes. Where've you been anyway?" Ryuu said.
"Arguing with Yahiro about the guest list. He invited 253,000 people. 253,000! We can't fit 253,000 people in a room! Not even in a football stadium!" Kei said, sighing.
"Oh, so what did you do?" Tadashi asked, stuffing himself with cake that Akira had left behind.
"I had to make 252,975 apology letters saying that there wasn't enough room for the wedding," Kei said.
"So you're only inviting 25 people?" Jun asked.
"Yeah, otherwise this'll turn into a disaster like last time. Besides, Hikari wouldn't want this to be a large wedding. You guys are invited along with a few of your family members. That's it. I'll need to discuss the wedding date with Hikari," Kei said, running his fingers through his bed hair.
"How are you and Finn doing, anyway?" Kei asked.
"We're still good. Her country is still celebrating the news of her brother. They've been celebrating for a week now," Ryuu answered.
"Well, they finally got their prince. Do you know when she'll be back? Hikari will want her to be at our wedding," Kei said.
"Sometime next week. Her brother is supposed to be born in four months. Her people can't celebrate that long," Ryuu said.
"Tell her to bring some of those love potion candies. We'll need some for the wedding," Kei said.
"And don't forget those delicious tart thingies!" Tadashi said with his mouth full.
"Ryuu-nii, can you ask Finn to bring one of her country's native instruments? I already learned how to play everything, from alto saxophone to xylophone," Jun said.
"No problem, guys. I just need one small favor to ask you," Ryuu said.
"Sure, Ryuu," Tadashi said.
"You barely ask any favors from us anyway, so it's fine with me," Kei said. Ryuu took out a small black box out of his pocket and opened it. Inside was a silver ring with a gorgeously cut sapphire carefully placed in the middle of the tiny diamonds surrounding it. He gave it to Tadashi.
"…" Kei and Jun said in silence. Tadashi stared at Ryuu.
"What? You don't think it's a nice ring?" Ryuu said nervously. Tadashi broke the silence.
"Ryuu, it's very nice...but what about Finn? And I have Akira, so…" Tadashi said, helplessly looking at Kei and Jun for rescue.
"What are you talking about?" Ryuu said.
"Huh?" Tadashi said blankly.
"You thought I was proposing to YOU?" Ryuu asked, a smile creeping on his face.
"Um, well I , you gave the ring to me, so I uh…" Tadashi blabbered. Ryuu started chuckling.
"No Tadashi, I was showing you the ring because I'm going to propose to Finn and wasn't sure that she would like it! You know, Finn being royalty and all," Ryuu said, still chuckling.
"Finally," Kei said, "someone else here wants to marry."
"Finn will like it, I'm sure of it!" Tadashi said eagerly. Jun was silent.
"Jun?" Ryuu called out in concern.
Jun's POV
Ryuu-nii is going to marry Finn, if Finn accepts. And why shouldn't she? Ryuu is kind and friendly, and is a great cook. He can take care of anyone for years without help. Like me and Megumi. Ryuu-nii…
Will he move away to Finn's country? Will he forget about me and Megumi? No, he can't. He's always looked out for us two.
"Jun? Are you alright?" Ryuu asked. That's right. The answer is in Ryuu's eyes full of kindness: he'll never leave us. Even now, when we're almost adults, he's still looking out for me after all these years.
But what have I done for him? What has Megumi done for him? Wouldn't it be selfish if I don't let Ryuu share his kindness with Finn, the whole world? And what kind of a guy would I be if I lean on Ryuu's shoulder for the rest of my life? I can't do that! I already have Sakura who'll depend on me in the future!
What kind of a man am I?
"Ryuu…" I said slowly. Ryuu, Kei, and Tadashi looked at me in attention.
I've made my resolve.
"Ryuu… Congratulations!" I said cheerfully. Ryuu's mouth formed a smile, while Tadashi patted me on the back.
"Thanks, Jun! This means a lot to me!" Ryuu said.
Just seeing his smile is enough for me. Time to let go.
I let him go.
Meanwhile...
Akira was still sobbing about how Hikari's children would be mythical creatures as Hikari and Megumi dragged her out of the wedding dress store.
"WAAA!" Akira sobbed.
'Akira, calm down,' Megumi wrote on her board.
"Akira, you can be my maid of honor. Megumi can be my bridesmaid. You'll get to dress all of us!" Hikari tried to cheer up Akira. Akira slowly stopped sobbing.
"Can I put makeup on you and Megumi?" Akira asked.
'Of course,' Megumi wrote.
"Can I do your hair too?" Akira asked.
"Yeah!" Hikari said happily. Akira lightened up.
"Kya~! I get to dress you two up!" Akira squealed. Megumi scribbled something down on her board and showed Hikari.
'Hikari, if you need any more girl talk or advice, Sakura and I will help you. Akira will come around later and help you too. Okay?' it said. Hikari smiled shyly.
"Okay."
Ahhhh! I love writing! I have 2 notebooks full of fanfics that I've never published! It's just that I usually don't have the courage to show people. Thankfully, nobody on this site knows who I am (it's a MYSTERY). I thank everybody for the reviews! I also thank one of the people who reviewed this story who gave me ideas for names for Hikari's and Kei's future children. I'll give you a hint for the next chapter. Two words: motion sickness. That's it! Figure it out! Ja ne! m(_ _)m
