Sailor: "This is a dream....this is a bloody dream...."

Kitari: "Oh, quit saying that! You gotta be happy!"

Sailor: "I dunno...this is..."

Kitari: "I didn't think you and Scorpio would come to this but wow~!"

Today was a very important day for Sailor and Scorpio. The two, in a nutshell, were getting married. Yeah, heavy. The way how they came together was complicated and in the end, it all worked out. Sailor still couldn't believe it, SCORPIO, on the other hand, believed it with all his heart. Sailor swears that he his stars are forming tiny hearts in his eyes. Scorpio then had stomped away, blushing his heart out.

Right now, Kitari, in her maid of honor dress, was helping Sailor in her wedding dress. It was white with streaks of black in gold around the edges of the ends and waist. Her long gloves and veil followed suit. Her bouquet was filled with white and black roses and golden lilies. On her chest, the dress had the Department of Punishments crest on it to match her department crown. (I'm gonna have to draw a picture of that, this is too detailed...)

Sailor: "Hey, did you see what Scorpio looked like?"

Kitari: "Um...yeah~. The Punishment themed tuxedo looked so cool on him."

Sailor: "Hey, he's my fiancé, not yours. When are you gonna get married, Wishes lady?"

Kitari: "I said I'd get married to him soon if I end up with the bouquet. I won't try for it, though."

Sailor: "You think marriage is too soon for you, huh?"

Kitari: "You and Scorpio are totally ready for each other. Silver tongued and everything. I just...can't believe my best friend is getting married and I'm gonna be her best maid..."

Sailor: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't start the water works NOW, that make-up took an HOUR because you're so inexperienced."

Kitari: "Well...you too, I mean, we don't even WEAR make-up, PERIOD. We don't even for Celestial balls, to work, parties or formal celebrations."

Sailor: "Though this...as of said, is a special occasion." 

Sailor gave Kitari peace signs, then jazz hands, emphasizing her point. The two laughed at her little attempt to sound like Oangia. Kitari fixed Sailor's veil upon her head, careful not to mess up her raised ponytail and bangs.

Kitari: "Did I say you look like an actual queen in Oangia's voice, to you, yet?"

Sailor: "No, why?"

Kitari: "Queen Sailor, I may not approve of this relationship to the fullest, yet, though you do certainly look the part."

Sailor/Kitari: "....."

Sailor/Kitari: "AH, HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!"

Sailor: "Ah, wait 'til that gets old...! Eh, you look more like a queen, yourself, Kitari."

Kitari: "...Really...? I think this dress is a little short..."

Kitari was adorned in a Wishes themed, white and gold, sleeveless halter dress. The small stars that was sprinkled up her dress made her look like a glittering golden lily. To cover up her thighs up a little, she wore her uniform Wishes boots, which actually matched her outfit. She didn't want to wear anything to flashy against Sailor. Though, something she argued about was how they had her hairstyle work out. They wanted her to have her hair in a side ponytail, but she said she looked like Zyglavis with teal hair, crossdressing. They braided it, she then said that she looked like Thanasis reincarnated (died in Teorus Season 1 Sequel).

Sailor: "Are you sure you don't want to wear your crown?"

Kitari: "Nah, I wanna do that at MY wedding. Besides, I think this hair piece is very pretty all on its own."

Sailor: "...We're not even fashion freaks. Remember what we'd always wear in the Star House long ago?"

Kitari: "I had white shorts, white short sleeved shirt, no shoes, normally. You had...what, a purple sleeved shirt that had these...capris sleeves and you also wore...gray capris and was also barefoot?"

Vega: "Are you ready, Lady Kitari? We are about ready to do the procession."

Kitari: "Ooh! That's my cue. Oh, Vega, you're so cute as a flower girl. Where's the flower boy?"

Vega: "Oh, Altair, he's being nervous. Ah, you and Lady Sailor are so pretty!"

Kitari: "Thank you very much! Say...did you get..."

Vega: "Yes, indeed I have."

Kitari: "Thank you, go to the doors."

Sailor: "The doors...? Get what?"

Kitari: "Oh, I mean the doors to the chapel where we walk down the aisle. You remember how it goes right?"

Sailor: "Y-Yeah...flower boy and girl goes first...then Scorpio and the guys, oh, man, Zyglavis is his best man...then my crew goes and...then I come last...did I get that right?"

Kitari: "Mm, hm."

Sailor: "Wait, so what did Vega have to get?"

Ichthys: "Hey~! Guys, the procession is STARTING!"

Kitari: "We're coming, groomsman. Is Leon and Oangia with you?"

Ichthys: "Oh, yeah. Nice idea getting your butler in. C'mon, Mrs. Scorpy, you don't wanna miss this!"

*shut*

Sailor: "...Oangia...and Leon are the replacement groomsmen...? What happened to Krioff and Dui?"

Kitari: "Oh, they said they just wanna watch."

Sailor: "You planned this!"

Kitari: "What? No, Star King said this was your arrange...ment..."

Sailor/Kitari: "...."

Kitari: "...Let's not. He's the bruh who's reading from the book. You need him for vows."

Sailor: "Got it."

Kitari: "Ack! We gotta GO!!!"

*****

It is time for Sailor to go down the aisle. She clawed her nails into the stem-wrapping of the bouquet nervously as the doors were slowly pulled open to let the light of the high, stained-glass windows of the chapel splash across the room and herself. She then slowly walked toward the end of the chapel, timidly looking up and around. Everything was so lavishly decorated with black, white and gold strung around the windows and the pews. She tried hard not to laugh when her eyes met with the Pocky Firework wedding cake. Then finally, her eyes trailed up to the bridesmaids and the groomsmen, trailing up to Kitari and Zyglavis as the best maid and man...then up to Star King and Scorpio.

Sailor's face flushed red almost instantly as she made eye contact with her soon-to-be-in-a-few-reading-boredom-eternity-but-really-in-a-few-minutes-husband who looked away blushing, then glanced at Star King, he smiled at Scorpio, then Scorpio looked back at Sailor and smiled a soft smile. Kitari could see that Leon and Ichthys were trying hard not to laugh. Oangia made a small sound out of clearing his throat and glare at the two. Zyglavis was oblivious to the groomsmen silent quarrel. Finally, she got up the stairs to the stage, and the reading began.

*****

Star King: "...And now, Scorpio, Ruler of Scorpious and all of its glorious stars, will you take Sailor Pisces as your wife whether ill or well, 'til the end of your neverending life?"

Scorpio: "Of course. There's no way I'm saying no. Not now, not ever."

Leon: "That's Scorpio for you."

Oangia: "Ssh-!"

Star King: "Now, Sailor Pisces, Queen of the just Department of Punishments and best friend of its members, will you take Scorpio as your husband whether ill or well, 'til the end of your presumably neverending life?"

Kitari: "...seriously...?"

Sailor: "Hmph, yeah, sure. I mean, I'm not looking for anyone else."

Scorpio: "Ha...you little."

Both Scorpio and Sailor were suppressing smiles, though not doing a very good job. Star King snapped his fingers and two slight-broadband rings floated down in a glimmering wake. They slid down into Sailor and Scorpio's waiting palms. The diamond glistening in the middle of Sailor's ring, surrounded by black and gold, almost made her cry, as Scorpio slid it onto her ring finger, just as he did it to her.

The two turn back to face Star King once their done with the ring exchanging. Star King clasped his hands together and his head tilted a little to the side. Then an expression so soft and happy came across his face as he gazed at the couple as if he was genuinely proud and glad at this ceremony.

Sailor: (He is. He's so happy. I can't believe he's capable of making this face."

Star King: "I am so very proud to pronounce you two...husband and wife. Scorpio? You may kiss your bride."

Scorpio didn't hesitate. He went straight to Sailor's lips as if he hadn't kissed her in forever. Tears spilled from almost everyones eyes, even the most serious and arrogant of them (Leon, Oangia, Star King, Zyglavis, we're looking at you). Finally they pulled away, and that's where the wedding got serious.

*****

Kitari: "Hey! No one eats ANY cake until Sailor and Scorpio does!"

Leon: "I just can't go a day without getting any orders from you, can't I?"

Scorpio: "Funny that you're actually LISTENING to those orders."

Leon: "It may be your wedding, but that won't stop me from-"

Sailor/Kitari: "YES. IT. WILL."

Ichthys: "Are you guys done arguing? We want cake~!"

Kitari: "No, no, no, no...they have to feed it to each other!"

Sailor/Scorpio: "...!"

After they had divided the cake and everyone had been eating, Kitari, Leon and Ichthys then forced Sailor and Scorpio to do a lot of things. Like dance for five songs straight, Scorpio has to mouth-feed Sailor one glass of wine, the two have to kiss for a minute or even (this was Kitari's idea) play the Pocky game. Pretty soon, it was about nightfall.

Star King: "Sailor and Scorpio, may I present you a wedding gift to remember this festive occation that will probably not happen again?"

Scorpio: "You don't need to gloss it, just say whatever."

Sailor: "Haha, sure, what is it?"

Star King handed them a piece of slightly worn parchment that had the Department Queens symbol on the top. Sailor nearly cried again.

Star King: "Congratulations."

Sailor: "Oh my gosh..."

Scorpio: "...You didn't need to do that..."

Star King: "Oh, I just had to."

Sailor saw him blush at the sight on this significant piece of paper that officially proclaimed that Sailor and Scorpio were, indeed, husband and wife.

*****

After Sailor and Scorpio's 'first night' (Sailor said she'd do 'it' once she was married), they stayed in Scorpio's room to open gifts that came from the wedding. One gift in particular that Sailor could easily see was from Kitari was in an envelope. Inside was a golden postcard with a picture of Scorpio and Sailor smiling, unevenly taped to the front of the card. On the side, she now figured out whose idea and design made the Pocky Firework wedding cake.

Sailor: "Hah...I'm gonna keep this..."

Scorpio: "What is it?"

She pulled out the postcard and showed it to Scorpio.

Scorpio: "...I still can't believe this was real."

Sailor: "Oh, it's real, sucker, whether you like it or not."

Scorpio: "Oh, I like it. Very much."

And so...the Queen of Punishments, Sailor Pisces, and the Ruler of Scorpious, Scorpio, lived happily in bliss...and ready to start a family of their own.

Kitari: "Sailor...Sailor~. Wake up, it's time for work."

Sailor: "...ugh...Scorpio...not here..."

Kitari: "...WHAT...?"
