[Scene: The future]
[The outside of an Italian Villa has been set up for a wedding. It is a beautiful spring day, with petals raining down from a grove of cherry and almond trees.]
[A decent size crowd is seated before the wedding arch. On one side is a middleaged woman with long gold curls is dabbing her green eyes while an extremely handsome man comforts her. One the opposite, a woman who looks exactly like Mary Worth scowls with boredom under a flowered hat.]
[The music starts. The first to walk down the aisle is a flower girl, who bears a strike resemblance to a Botticelli painting, with long gold curls and big copper colored eyes. She scatters pink rose petals as she walks.]
[Next are Usagi, Naru, Minako, Rei, Makoto and Ami, wearing matching pink bridemaid dresses and smiling happily. As Usagi passes, she smiles and waves to Mamoru, seated with a pink haired baby sleeping in his lap, and he smiles and waves back.]
[Then everyone rises as the bride makes his way down the aisle at the side of his father. He looks a lot like the flower girl, except his eyes are green and catlike, and of course, he is male. He wears no veil and his face and hair are done up elaborately, like a renaissance Venus. His dress is white lace with a long train and a mermaid skirt to give him the illusion of feminine curves. As he makes his way down the aisle, Kunzite is grinning like a fool in his tuxedo while Neffy stands at his side.]
[As Zoi takes his place at the altar, Kunzite takes his hands]
Father Helios: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of God to witness the sacred vows of marriage between Kunzite O'Sama and Zoisite Midori, who were brought together by love's divine appointment-and we rejoice in this moment of mystical matrimony. Marriage is an honorable estate, not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly-Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined... If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace.
[Kunzite and Zoi give Neffy a pointed stare and he throws up his hands in mock surrender while the crowd titters politely.]
Father Helios: Kunzite. Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To live together in the holy estate of matrimony? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health. Forsaking all others. To keep only onto him, so long as you both shall live?
Kunzite: I do.
Father Helios: Zoisite. Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To live together in the holy estate of matrimony? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health. Forsaking all others. To keep only onto him, so long as you both shall live?
Zoi: I do.
Father Helios: Then, Kunzite, take Zoisite's right hand and repeat after me-
[At that moment time stops, and a purple portal opens to one side of the altar.]
[Dev and El step through, holding hands, wearing matching biker gear and holding the God Gun.]
El: [looking out at the sea of frozen faces] We made it! Right on schedule!
Dev: [slinging the God Gun over his shoulder and smiling at the crowd] So sorry to interrupt the festivities. Not that you can see us or hear a word we are saying, but we promise we'll be out of your hair in a jiffy. Right after we murder the Mother of the Groom.
[They scan the crowd and find Metalia facing the altar with a sour look frozen on her face.]
[There is a grinding of the wedding music as the normal timeline resumes in slow motion.]
El: [spooked] Dev? What's happening?
Dev: You're asking me? You're supposed to be the smart one!
Father Helios: "I...Kunzite..."
Kunzite: [to Helios] I...Kunzite...
Father Helios: [Whispers] To...Zoi...
Kunzite: To...Zoi...
[The bridesmaids all laugh and Zoi playfully swats Kunzite with his bouquet.]
El: [clutching her brother] The pocket dimension. It's collapsing. Time is resuming its normal course. But why can't they see us?
[She lets out a scream as Metalia whips her head around, quick as a flash, and stares right at them.]
Metalia: Becausssssse you are nottt really here!
[She tosses away her flowered hat and coat rises from her seat in full smoke naga form.]
Metalia: Did you two little bratssss tttthink you were the only onessss who could pull lesssssser beingsssss into privattte diminssssions?
Dev: EL! THE GOD GUN! WE HAVE TO TAKE HER OUT NOW!
[El doesn't move. She just stares at Metalia in terror.]
Dev: EL! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! WE GET ONE SHOT AT THIS! WE HAVE TO KILL HER NOW!
[El still doesn't move. She stands there unblinking, as if frozen into stone.]
Metalia: Sssstupid little foolsssss...Sssssooo you finally sssshowed yoursssssselves...I wassssss jussst thinking about you... watching thesssssee two disssssapppointing failuressssss finally wed one another...and tttthinking how much better off I would be disssposssing of them all and replaccccing them with Sssshhhitttennou of my own making... a perfect littttttle baby boy and girl... two little golden haired cherubssssss of my own creatttion... made up of puresssst evil and raissssed tttto sssserve me from the cradle...
Dev: EL! NOW! YOU HAVE TO SNAP OUT OF IT!
Metalia: ...and now here you are...Yessssss...you colored your hair...that wassss clever...I never recognizzzzed who you were sssssuppposed to be...until now...
[Dev gives El one last frantic stare before putting himself in front of her, protectively]
Metalia: I sssshould have known you would become sssuch disssappointmentsssss...
[She glides toward the two who stare wide eyed in terror]
Metalia: Come givvvvve your mother one lasssst kissss before she killssss you once and for all.
