"Oh shit." That was all Rin could say… she could not figure out a more suitable statement for the disaster before her. Yone had done the worst possible thing she could have done to ruin this wedding… she switched Iku's dress.

"What am I going to do?!" Iku cried "I can't wear that dress!" she yelled it was not that the dress was ugly it was actually kind of cute but it did not suit Iku one bit…I just wasn't her at all! There was no sparkle and not a single string of pearls and Iku LOVED pearls. It was a plain, creamy dress strapless with a sweetheart neckline. Rin briefly remembered that Iku wanted a pure white dress.

"Okay…" Rin scratched her head. "Where is the original dress we picked out?"

"I don't know… when I asked Yone she said not to worry about it and that this dress would be good for the company!" she cried

"Okay Iku I know this may be the wrong question but…" Rin sighed preparing herself for her sister's possible explosive reaction "Is there any possibly thing we could POSSIBLY do to make this dress work?"

"Rin it doesn't even fit!" she yelled "It's a size two!"

"What?" Rin grabbed the dresses tag and sure enough it was a size zero. "Are you kidding me? How could Yone Possibly expect a size 5 to fit into a size two?"

"I think this is what she was thinking…" the twins said together as Kaoru held up a clothing article that looked like 2 pieces of thick fabric laced together with some string that they found in a box on the vanity.

"What is that?" Rin asked taking the thing from Kaoru and looking at it with suspicious brows.

"It's a corset."

"No way!" Rin dropped the corset as if the thing would manifest itself and strangle her "can a corset do that? Make someone go 3 whole sizes smaller?"

"Maybe if they shoved all her organs into her lungs." The twins suggested.

"Rin what are we going to do?" Iku asked tears in her eyes.

"I'm getting Daichi…" Rin Assured her. "Just sit down and drink…this…" she handed her a bottle of sparkling grape juice. "I'll be right back okay? Haruhi?" she called out to her friend "Make sure she stays here and talk about…stuff…" she turned to Mori and Hunny "Look around the ship and try to find Yone and get her here as soon as you do. You two." She turned to the twins "Come with me were going to find Daichi."


"Oh no…" Daichi pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration as Rin finished telling him what was wrong.

"Do you have any idea where she could have put the dress?" Rin asked the panic rising in her voice.

"She was in charge of making sure the dress was on board." Daichi shook his head "it's probably not on the ship…"

"Crap…" Rin buried her face in her hands frustrated.

"What are you gonna do?" Kaoru asked

"It's pretty much hopeless now…" Hikaru shrugged "Were gonna have to get her in that size zero if she wants to be in a dress down the aisle."

"Wait…" Daichi looked up a light bulb practically glowing atop his head "there might be something…"

"Well what is it?!" Rin grabbed Daichi by the Lapels pulling him down to her height "There is no time for dramatic dot dot dots tell us man!"

"Okay Okay! Please calm down and let go of my lapels." He pried Rin's hands off of his jacket "we might have a few more dresses on board…"


"This…is not…a few…" Rin said slowly as she looked at the racks upon racks of wedding dresses. "Why are these here?"

"Mother thought it would have been smart to allow clients to try on different Aurelia designs in case they wanted to order one." Daichi explained "Hence all the dresses."

"Hey Rin you said Iku was a size five right?" Hikaru asked

"Yeah…" Rin said knowing Hikaru was about to give her bad news. "Why?"

"Well Aurelia doesn't make size five…" They said.

"You're joking right?" Rin turned to Daichi "Why?"

"I don't know I don't Run the actual design department." Daichi shrugged "That's what my mother actually has control of."

"When this is all over we are going to have a long talk about how harmful the image Aurelia is giving off to the world." Rin pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration. "But right now we have to figure out how were going to make a size five fit into a size 4…"

"Size 3." Hikaru corrected "that's the highest Aurelia goes."

Before Rin could rip out her hair and make an even bigger mess out of it Santo walked into the room.

"Is everything okay?" Santo asked "You're really tall friend and the really short one said there was a problem and they had to find Yone."

"Iku's dress isn't on the ship…" Rin explained "We need to find a similar one in a size 3 then we need to squeeze Iku into a dress 2 sizes to small and possibly suffocate her with a corset." Rin sighed crossing her arms and biting her thumbnail in deep thought "How the heck are we gonna make this work?"

"Well I guess we can't make the dress bigger..." Santo said sadly. "How hard would it be to squeeze Iku into a size 3?"

Rin looked at her father with wide eyes "Dad…say that again…"

"How hard would it be to-"

"No no no… the other thing…" Rin said slowly "About…making the dress bigger…"

"Yeah what about-" Santo started but Rin ran over to the dresses.

"Hikaru! Kaoru!" she shouted from the sea of dresses completely hidden "Can you guys sew?"

"Yeah why?" they asked as she ran out of the dress racks with several pure white dresses in her arms

"Make another one from these dresses." She dropped the plastic covered dresses on the ground. "We have an hour do you think you can do it?"

"…With parts of the dress already pre sewn it should be possible…" Kaoru said to himself

"And we can get some pearls from the chandelier…" Hikaru puzzled.

"Alright we'll do it!" they said together.

"Alright! I'll go get Iku!" Rin ran out of the room to go get her sister.


"Rin please be careful! This ship could move suddenly at any moment." Iku scolded as the twins built a dress around her.

"Well Iku I'm already up here and I only need a few more pearls…" Rin was currently hanging from the chandelier after she mad Iku give her a boost so she could pick some strings of pearls "I'm almost…WAH!" suddenly the ship lurched just a little bit throwing her off the chandelier

So this is how it ends… at my sister's wedding while desperately robbing a chandelier of its pearls…which is weird not many chandeliers have pearls…but anyway I would like to say thanks to everyone I love before I depart...I… Oh wait I landed on a pile of reject dresses I'll be fine.

"Rin! Are you okay?!" Iku called out worried

"Yeah I'm fine, these reject dresses broke my fall." She poked her head out of the pile before hopping out. "Are these enough?" Rin held out the several strands of pearls she had plucked off the chandelier.

"Yeah it should be." Kaoru took them from her hands "Just give us a few more moments…"

"Okay…"

…..

….

"…is it ready now?"

"No."

"How about now?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"No."

"Ugh! Don't tease me like that Hikaru!" Rin Growled turning away from them.

"Okay were done." Kaoru said

"Not funny tell me when it's really done." Rin growled

"Rin…" Iku gasped "Come look at this…" Rin complied and walked over to where her sister was gazing at herself in the mirror. Her hair was piled on top of her head various braids through it and several strings of pearls. The dress was as white as freshly fallen snow as the fabric seemed to flow around her body like she was born to wear this dress the bodice dotted in pearls and sparkles as they dripped down her dress becoming more intense as they reach the hemline.

"Oh my god Iku…" Rin gasped in amazement

"Rin this is fantastic!" Iku twirled "Thank you two so much! I love it more than my original dress! Oh god it so pretty!" she babbled on like a little girl, Iku truly looked like a princess of the sea her sparkling bluish green eyes looking like an ocean and her chocolate brown tendrils of hair pinned in all the right places making her lovely facial features look already more beautiful.

"Iku… you're a princess!" Rin giggled "You're so beautiful!"

"Rin… I want you to feel the way I do right now…" Iku turned to her sister seriously.

"Okay but let's wait until I'm at least 18 to get married alright?" Rin said sheepishly

"But we could get married right now…" Hikaru wrapped an arm around Rin's waist

"Yeah we can just get married right after your sister." Kaoru attached to her other side

"So what do you say?" they both said simultaneously

"Guys! You're ruining the moment!" Rin scolded pushing them off her.

"That's not what I meant." Iku corrected "I want you to wear a dress to, and I want you to feel pretty to." Iku grabbed her sister by the shoulders "You should get to wear a pretty dress to…"

"Iku I'd love to but we really don't have-"

"Hikaru Kaoru!" Iku shouted grabbing the twin's attention "How fast can you arrange a dress for Rin?"

"Actually." The twins pulled out a dress that they were hiding behind their back "We brought one along with us!"

"You were keeping that behind your back the entire time?" Iku looked at the twins dumfounded "How did no one notice?"

"I wouldn't ask Iku I have a lot of unanswered questions with these to." Rin said sighing

"Stop complaining now change!" the twins grabbed Rin and pulled her behind a screen.

"Hey! You're not gonna help me change you perverts!" Rin shouted

"HEY!" Iku shouted "PAWS OFF MY BABY SISTER YOU FREAKS!"


"What's taking so long?" Santo asked turning to Daichi "Are wedding dresses really that complicated?"

"Like you wouldn't believe…" Santo shook his head

"I'm sure their almost done." Haruhi said unsurely.

"Guys!" Rin's voice could be heard in the distance "Guys!"

"Rin?" Santo called back.

"Dad!" suddenly Rin appeared from the hallway scooting on one foot to stop. Her dress was a short deep magenta violet one strap that flared out at her hips, a modest amount of sparkles tracing the skirt and a pair of violet flats with matching magenta flowers. On her head was a Dark purple fedora with magenta flowers on one side and some ribbons hanging off it like a tail, her red hair spilled out on one side in a curly water fall.

"Oh Rin! You look great!" Santo smiled, happy to see his daughter in a dress.

"Thanks but we SERIOUSLY don't have time for that now! Daichi!" Rin grabbed the man and shoved him out the door "Get to the end of the isle stat!"

"But what about-"

"There is no time for any questions whatsoever!" Rin shouted, seriously they were an hour late now and there was not a moment to lose.

"Rin is Iku-"

"It's all good dad." Rin assured him. "Just let me make sure Daichi doesn't see Iku."

Rin walked with Daichi to the entry hall where they had their little argument earlier. Rin sighed as they got there. "Okay now just stand at the end of the isle."

"Rin I can't thank you enough for everything you've done." Daichi looked down at his soon to be little sister "I feel terrible for what happened…"

"Daichi its-"

"No it's not fine." Daichi gripped Rin by the shoulders looking at her seriously "this wedding probably wouldn't be happening if you haven't come…I promise ill make it up to you and your father somehow…"

"Right now you can start by getting yourself at the end of the isle NOW." Rin shoved Daichi into the church…thing. "For the love of god… don't people understand we don't have any time?" Rin muttered to herself. She perked up when she realized there was a piano playing in the background and it was beautiful she peeked inside the reception area to see Tamaki on a grand piano playing his heart out. The audience was completely entranced by his playing as his fingers danced over the keys. Kyoya stood not too far away leaning up against the wall coolly taking notes

"What was that Rin?" Rin spun around to see her sister her father arm in arm ready to go. And she noticed her dad was all teary and choked up.

"Dad… are you crying?" Rin asked

"Of course I am!" Santo sniffed trying to keep the tears from overflowing "My daughter is getting marred I'm supposed to be emotional… and look at you two!" he gestured to both of us "You're both look so beautiful… I did a really good job."

"Well of course they do." The twins said as if it was obvious "That's the power of the Hitachin brothers!" they struck a pose.

"Yeah but you used someone else's dresses…" Haruhi noted.

"Aww dad…" Rin hugged her dad along with Iku. Ignoring the twins.

"Iku I know this is really cliché but just know you will always be my little girl no matter what." Daichi squeezed his girls tightly.

"Aww dad don't make me cry." Iku pulled away and fanned her eyes trying to dry out the tears that were forming.

"Ri-chan!" Rin turned to see Mori and Honey entering. "Wow! You look like a princess Iku-Chan!" Honey sparkled and Iku blushed

"Thank you…"

"And Rin you look like a fairy!" Honey jumped up and hugged her. "Doesn't she look like a fairy Takashi?"

"Hn." He said shortly in agreement but this time his voice was a bit strained, his cheeks were a bit flushed and he was avoiding eye contact with her.

"Hey can you guys go tell Tamaki to play a wedding march or something?" Rin asked politely

"Sure Ri-chan! Come on Takashi!" Honey hopped away with Takashi in tow.

"Hey you three can go take a seat if you want to." Rin told the twins and Haruhi "Were gonna start really soon."

"Okay." The twins picked up Haruhi. "You can sit on our lap so you can see well!" they said to Haruhi who grimaced as she was carried away.

"Rin." Iku called out to her sister "Will you hold my train?" Iku asked holding it up for her

Rin gasped "Yes I wanna hold your train!" She squealed exited like it wasn't even a question. "She hopped over and picked up the train. Suddenly a different tune started to play which signaled Iku to start walking

"You nervous?" Rin asked

"nope." She said seamlessly "I'm ready."

And then then the doors opened and she walked down the aisle with her father on her arm and Rin right behind her like she always was, to be bound to the man she loved… now and forever.
