Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: Sorry it's taken me so long. I've been super busy with my Total Drama stuff and I've felt uninspired for this fic. Plus, Kingdom Hearts binge. I've pretty much decided I hate critical mode. It's just a bad idea. So, this is the end of the Marriage Arc, leaving one arc left. Before we get to that, though, expect a certain wedding one shot to be put up.

Prompt 93: After Party

(Kitty)

Kitty was shocked at how great she felt after that sealing kiss. Nothing else seemed to matter right then. Not her friends, not her family, not Neb's need for a 'cliffhanger', whatever that meant. The only thing that mattered was her and Alistair. And if that was all Kitty had for the rest of her life… she'd be happy.

The after party was literally right after that, which was held in the giant gym where Cupid had held the True Hearts Day dance all those many years ago. Kitty was standing by herself near the stage, smiling to herself. Alistair was off talking to someone, leaving her by herself. That was ok though. Kitty knew Alistair now had no choice but to come back to her.

"Funny, marriage," someone said next to Kitty. Kitty only smiled, already knowing it was Neb. "You dedicate yourself to one person, in life and death. No matter what you do, you are signing your existence away to one person forever. Thing is… people are ok with that. Because that's all that matters to them."

Kitty's smile grew. "You aren't talking about me and Alistair, are you?" she asked with a giggle.

"Yes and no," Neb shrugged. "Yes, you two are stuck with each other now. But you guys knew that, and I'm 'happy' for you. No, I'm talking about Lizzie and I."

"She loves you Neb. Marriage won't be the death of you," Kitty said.

"No, last I checked, you were the death of me," Neb smirked. "It's not that Kitty. I know you've been married for less than a day, but marriage… it kind of scares me. I know I love Lizzie and I know she loves me. But… together? Forever? I just… can we last that long?"

Kitty smiled, putting a hand on Neb's shoulder. "Neb, everything will be ok," Kitty said. "I know things are hard between you two. You aren't the most solid couple. But if anyone can make things work… it's you. You find it hard to care Neb, I can attest to that more than most. But when you do care… it's pretty big. And the care you have for Lizzie… it's enough to last the rest of your existence."

Neb looked at Kitty for a few moments… and slowly gave her a rare smile. "That's why you're my second best friend," he chuckled. "By the way, when are you going to have me read my speech? I spent all night writing it."

"Soon," Kitty giggled. "Maybe five minutes?"

"Perfect. That gives us time for one more scene."

(Alistair)

"You treat Kitty well, alright?" Alice said to her son. Alistair groaned, rolling his eyes at his mother. She had been grilling him for over five minutes about how to treat Kitty like the perfect wife she was going to be. Alistair kept telling his mother he got it… only to get smacked in the face and told he didn't.

"Yes mom, I've told you, I'll treat Kitty the way she deserves to be treated," Alistair said. "We've been dating for a few years. I think we know how to treat each other."

Alice stared at her son carefully. "You better," Alice said. "Oh, one more thing."

"Mom, I get it! I know how to treat Kitty!"

"No, not that," Alice said. "I got you guys a little something. You have to promise me, though, that you'll follow the conditions I set, alright?"

"Sure mom," Alistair said.

Alice smiled. "So, after you guys follow your stories, the Cheshire Cat and I, along with Slender, bought you guys… a house!"

Alistair's jaws dropped. "For real?!" he asked.

"Of course, don't be stupid," Alice said, smirking. "Thing is, we made an agreement that we can't have you two living completely alone. So, talking with the Mad Hatter and Neb…"

Surprisingly to Alice, Alistair's grin grew. "You got Maddie and Neb to live with us?" Alistair asked.

"Only them. Lizzie and Sven only get visitation rights," Alice said. "Wait… so you're ok with that?"

"Duh," Alistair said. "They're my best friends other than Bunny. I'm ok with living with them, no sweat."

"That was easy," Alice smiled.

"Not so fast Alice," came a voice. Slender appeared in front of them, his face blank as usual. "May I have a word with the boy?" Alice shrugged and walked off, leaving the father and the husband alone. "So."

"Is this the part of the wedding where you come and threaten me to treat your daughter right?" Alistair guessed. "Because trust me when I say that my mom already covered that."

"I have a few things I just want to tell you," Slender said. "I just want to thank you for keeping my daughter safe. I admit I'm not the best father and you were there for her when I wasn't. Thank you for being there for her when she needed you the most."

Alistair sighed in relief, smiling genuinely. "Thanks Slender. That means a lot to me," Alistair said.

"But do not get me wrong," Slender continued, his voice getting more serious. "If you treat my daughter incorrectly or do anything to remotely hurt her, I will hunt you down and kill you. Do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal," Alistair said, slightly nervous at the seriousness of Slender's tone.

"Good. Say, have you had the cider yet? Neb says it tastes amazing, but he says that about all cider."

(Neb)

"If you would have come to me a few years back, I probably wouldn't be able to pick out Kitty and Alistair as a couple. They were both great people and I enjoyed their company, but a couple? No way! I always pegged Alistair and Bunny to be the best couple in this universe, no doubt about that."

"But… things didn't happen that way. Lots of things end up in ways we never would have guessed. We expect them to be one way, they end up a different way. It's… funny, how life works like that. We don't expect a change in the plan… but they happen. And more often than not… they bloom."

"Kitty Cheshire is a remarkable girl. She's overcome more trials and adversity than most would ever think to face. She's overcome suicide attempts, voices in her head, kidnapping, loss of family, friends being jerks, and overcoming murdering someone very close to her. She's overcome this, suffering all along the way, but remaining ever so loyal to Alistair and to herself."

"I'm not the best guy in the world. A lot of the things I have I don't deserve. Alistair on the other hand deserves everything he has. He's been a remarkable boyfriend to Kitty, and I know that he'll be a great husband. You've been through your fair share of trials, most of them I was present for. And I know that if you remain loyal to yourselves and each other… nothing will ever be able to defeat you two."

An applause rang out as Neb finished his speech. Neb nodded and sat down back into his seat, which was right next to Kitty. Kitty smiled at him, a tear in her eye. "That was great," she said to him.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Only one thing though."

"What?"

"Lizzie wrote the entire thing, didn't she?"

Neb chuckled. "That obvious, huh?" he said. "Lizzie never was a subtle writer. Then again… neither am I."

BN: And thus the arc is over! One more left, which will take place several years after this. Trust me, there's a reason. (All the other fics I have planned fit in-between this spot and the spot in the future except for Her Number and a secret fic, which take place before this.) Kittystair is now sealed forever and some people love it and other's pressure Alistair. Yay! So, with all that said, until the Nebzzie one shot everyone!

*static*

?: Ha Ha Ha. Fools…

(Kitty's Subconscious)

Deep inside Kitty's mind, a lair of darkness was present. A girl who looked exactly like Kitty only covered in blood was stomping around, angry and enraged. "Stupid, stupid, stupid! I was promised her body! I WAS PROMISED TO BE KITTY! YOU LIED!"

"Did I?" came a chuckle. Dark Kitty spun around and saw a man of some sorts. He was wearing a rainbow colored suit and white shirt, with a rainbow bow-tie to top it off. His hair looked suspiciously like that of Neb's, only instead of brown, it was rainbow colored with pink added to it.

"Yes, you did!" Dark Kitty screamed. "You promised that I could have Kitty's body! You lied! Nothing happened as you said it would!"

"Oh? Let's go over it, shall we?" the man said in his deep voice, a smirk present on his face. "You drove Kitty to suicide, as I predicted. You inadvertently led to Kitty's loss of teleportation, as I predicted. You indirectly killed Slender, as I predicted. You erased Slender's memory, as I predicted. You got Kitty's body, as I so predicted. Everything I told you came to pass, as I so predicted."

Dark Kitty scowled at the man. "But I didn't keep it! You lied!" Dark Kitty screamed.

"I lied about nothing. I never said you would keep it," the man said. "Neb's work is far too predictable. He would never let the villain win in any story he writes. You losing Kitty's body was another prediction… I chose not to tell you."

Dark Kitty screamed. "You #$% beast! YOU LIAR!" Dark Kitty screamed.

"Hmph," the man sneered. "I do many things, Dark Kitty. However, I can confirm I do not do anything Neb already does. Thus, Neb lies. If he lies, then I don't. I have not lied to you once. And I will not lie to you from this point on."

Dark Kitty hesitated. "What are you implying?" she asked.

The man laughed, smiling evilly. "I'm not quite finished with you yet," he said. "And Neb hasn't seen the last of you. I'll make sure of it."
