Chapter 4; The Wedding
The morning sun beamed in through the windows. Seiya looked out the window and sighed. “This is the day.”
He got out of his bed and knocked on Serenity's door.
Serenity opened the door and smiled. She was wearing a towel and her hair was tied up. She had some sort of tiara on her forehead. It had an emblem of a crescent moon on it.
“Good morning Seiya-san!” She glowed.
Seiya was a little surprised at this but he decided to ignore it.
“Are you ready for your purifying bath?” Seiya asked.
“I just got back from taking it!” Serenity said back. “I was suppose to take it in the night hours, remember?”
“You went by yourself to the purifying spring!” Seiya gasped. “You know how dangerous that is!”
Serenity started to pout. “I'm sorry, you were sleeping so peacefully…”
Seiya lowered his head and shook it. “Well, as long as you're safe…” He then smiled at her. “Ready for breakfast?”
She smiled and nodded. “Let me get on a better outfit!” She then shut the door in Seiya's face.
Seiya frowned. “I guess she's putting on a front for me…” He turned around and waited.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Princess Minako laughed with Princess Makoto at the breakfast table. “So anyways, my guard fell into the pond, trying to catch my darling cat, and my mother was none to pleased.” She giggled some more at the memory.
Seiya walked in with Princess Serenity. Serenity wore an elegant pink gown with dark roses on the sleeves. She had her hair in one single bun with some curls flowing loose around her face. She wore the same beautiful tiara.
“Serenity! You look so beautiful!” Princess Minako yelled. Yaten, who stood beside her, shook his head in embarrassment.
“Thank you, Minako.” Serenity blushed.
`Princess Minako looked more happy then normal this morning.' Seiya thought as he guided Serenity to her chair.
Minako glowed. “I love that tiara! It is so royal!”
Serenity blushed slightly. “I figured that since I am to…” She looked around and bit her lip. “Well, I figured I'd look as royal as I can for the big day.”
Princess Ami smiled, “I never saw that on you before.”
Serenity smiled back. “My mother gave it to me last week.”
The girls started to admire the tiara and Serenity smiled proudly.
Seiya looked at his watch and saw that the seamstress was going to be there in 15 minutes. He knelt to Serenity and said, “We must be leaving soon.”
She nodded her head and started to dig into her meal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seiya was on his breakfast break when Yaten and Taiki joined him. He smiled meekly at the two friends.
“I can't believe that today is…” Seiya's voice trailed off.
Yaten patted his shoulder. “Don't fret. I'm sure you'll recover quickly.” Yaten then smirked.
Seiya tossed some food at Yaten. “Oh, you know Princess Minako is getting married in two weeks.”
Yaten pouted. “Don't remind me!”
Seiya frowned. “It tares at me. I know that there's no choice… but… I hate to be there when it happens.” He started to play with his untouched food.
“When did you last eat?” Taiki asked, worried.
Seiya put his head in his hand. “Three days ago.” He stared blankly at the table.
Taiki shook his head. “You need to eat to build up your strength.”
Seiya ignored Taiki and stared out in space.

Prince Endymion stood next to a mirror as the seamier did the final touches to his tuxedo.
He looked over at his maid who smiled at him. “I would like another cup of coffee.” He told her. She curtsied and left the room. He looked at himself in the mirror. “Ok, this is the day. This day we will start to change history.” He smiled. “Princess Serenity and I will do wonders.” He yipped in pain as his seamier stuck the needle in his leg.
“OH I AM SO SORRY!” The seamier gushed as he quickly put a piece paper on the red dot.
The prince smiled at the seamier. “Don't fret, it's only a little prick.”
The seamier relaxed and went back to his work.

Princess Serenity stood on a stool as women were all over her, getting her ready for the big day. She bit her lip and looked nervously at the other ladies.
“Oh no, how could this be?” One of the ladies said. “Did you loose some weight in the last week?”
Princess Serenity nodded her head. “I haven't been eating as much…” She said softly.
The Seamstress shook her head. “It's alright, Princess. It is just, you lost a lot of weight.”
A lady who was working on Serenity's hair went to take off her tiara.
“No! Please don't remove it!” Serenity yelled. “I really want to keep this on….”
The lady nodded and started to undo Serenity's hairdo.
“Can I have my hair up in a different bun?” Serenity asked.
The lady looked at her and made a face. “Why don't you want it in its usual style?”
“This is a special day… I want my hair to look special.”
The lady shrugged and brushed out Serenity's hair. She began to twist it and put it into a bun.
Serenity gushed out apologies as the ladies worked on her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seiya sighed in the hall. He was bored out of his mind. Memories of the night before flashed in his head as he relaxed. `She is so beautiful.'
“Seiya-san?” Seiya opened his eyes and looked down at the petit maid who stood before him. She was holding a coffee mug. She was Prince Endymion's personal maid.
“Yes?” Seiya asked.
The girl smiled at him softly. “I just wanted to say, that everything will be alright. I just know it.” She winked at him and walked towards the Prince's room.
Seiya muttered sarcastically. “Yeah, if only you knew.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The queen stood in her thrown room. The sun was almost to the noon height, the height of when her daughter was to wed. Tears filled her eyes, but none fell. This was harder on her beloved daughter then it ever would be on herself. She knew, cause the same thing happened to her. She wrapped her arms around herself. She had fallen in love with a guard from Earth. The guard was kind to her and stayed away from her. She thought it would make the wedding easier on both of them… It didn't. He killed himself that night. That is why, when Serenity showed love to Seiya, she didn't stop it. Let them enjoy their love to the point that they are aloud to…
The queen's thoughts were interrupted. “Your majesty?”
The queen turned to see one of the personal maids standing at the door.
“Yes, I know. The time has come.” With that, she walked up to the maid and smiled at her. “Lets see how beautiful Serenity looks today.”
The maid curtsied and the queen left the room followed by the maid.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The church was filled with excited whispers and people moving about. The Moon kingdom was so excited.
Suddenly, everyone was motioned to take his or her seats. They all scampered to their seats and waited for what was to happen next.
The preacher walked to his post and Prince Endymion walked in from the back. His maid and his guard followed him. The maid quickly sat down towards the front of the church and the guard stood next to him. He looked at the preacher. The preacher smiled. “Ok, time to start the music.”
The music started to play and the doors opened as all of the Princesses, one by one started to walk in. First was Minako, followed by Rei, who was followed by Makoto, who was followed by Haruka (Who was dressed in a tux), Ami followed by Michiru, and then Setsuna. The Princesses all walked to their places. They all watched the doors for a minute as they waited. The music was still playing.
“SORRY!!!!!!” Came a shriek and then a bunch of banging. Suddenly, Princess Hotaru trying to look collective walked in. She smiled nervously at everyone and walked to where the princesses were.
Everyone stood as the music switched to “Here comes the bride”.
Then, the bride made her entrance. She looked stunning. She wore a big poofy wedding dress and the top of the dress was tight. White roses covered the top. She still wore the tiara and her hair was done up in one single bun on the top of her head. Her veil was attached to the bun. A single white rose decorated the bun. She smiled as she walked into the church. She gracefully walked the isle to the prince and the preacher.
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here,” The Preacher said as he begun their vowels.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seiya looked nervously towards the princess. He was hopping that an angry mob would appear… or that some sort of youki would come and he could save the day. Then he could kidnap the princess him self and go to another planet and they could get married. Seiya looked up. Why had he never though of that till today?!?! ARGH! He looked around and saw no one was going to attack. He then looked back at the couple.
“Do you, Prince Endymion take Princess Serenity to be your wife?”
“I do.”
The preacher looked at Serenity.
“Do you, Princess Serenity take this man, Prince Endymion to be your husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?”
Seiya held his breath and closed his eyes; he did not want to hear this.
Serenity opened her mouth, “I do”
“By the power that I posses, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”
Prince Endymion lifted her veil and kissed her passionately.
The church erupted into applause as the couple kissed. No one noticed the guard who left the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone began to party in the ballroom and the Prince and Princess sat with each other talking. She smiled proudly and laughed with the prince. The prince was just as happy with her.
The queen took another drink and swallowed it in one gulp. This was the last night that her daughter would be on the moon. She poured herself another glass, and drank it again in one gulp. Her vision began to blear up and she walked out of the ballroom. She was a little light headed, but she managed to get out of the stuffy room.
Once she got out of the room, she heard some sniffles. She looked down to see Princess Minako hugging her knees and crying. The queen looked over to see Yaten on the other side of the hall. He also was sad.
“What is the matter my children?” The Queen asked, trying to not look drunk.
“I am sorry my queen.” Yaten said has he bowed. “I was just leaving.” Yaten began to walk away, by then Minako grabbed his arm
“NO! I don't want the last time I get to see you end like this!” She embraced Yaten and Yaten looked at the queen horrified.
The queen slowly smiled as she realized what had happened. “It is alright, Yaten, I will not punish you for loving her.” She walked to the couple and whisper only loud enough for Yaten to hear, “Just as I did not punish Seiya for confessing to my own daughter.” She then stood up and winked and left.
Yaten never knew the queen knew of her daughter and Seiya.
Minako looked up at him. “Kiss me, and I'll stop crying.”
Yaten smiled down at the girl and kissed her on the lips. Her then let go of her and smiled. “Guards can dance with their Princesses you know.” He winked and she smiled brightly, forgetting that in the morning, she will be gone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seiya stumbled into his room with a bottle of wine. He didn't bother to turn on the lights. He sat on his bed and took another swig. His eyes filled with tears and he looked out his window. He could still hear the party going on, but he didn't want to join in.
He looked at the bottle in his hand. He hoped it would help him to not feel as bad… however that was not the case.
He laid down in his bed and stared at his ceiling. He knew this was going to happen, but why did it hurt so badly?
“Seiya?”
Seiya sat up in his bed and tried to focus on where the voice came from. “Who's there?”
A pair of soft hands rested on his arm. “Seiya, please, don't do this.”
Seiya looked at the person who was knelt by his side. She had dark blue eyes and a crescent moon on her forehead.
“Serenity?” His face softened and he dropped the bottle.
“Do not do anything stupid, Seiya.” She said softly. “I will see you in one week. Please, wait for me. I'll explain everything then.” She then got up and tied something round her forehead and left his room. Seiya shook his head and ran to the door. He looked around the hall but no one was there.
He turned around and looked at the bottle on the floor. “I drank way too much!” He then stumbled to bed and passed out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone cheered as the newlyweds danced lively with each other. They looked happy. The Prince dipped her and she smiled at him.
A shadow opened the ballroom door and stepped in the room. No one noticed her presence. She walked over to the table and started to help herself to the food. She then ate as if she hadn't eaten in days.

A/N:
Whew, hard chapter to write! But, how can this be???? Serenity is now married to the prince and Seiya is seeing things. There is one last chapter to this story! Um, hey, you with the tomatoes don't throw em… not until you read the last chapter!
For those who were not pleased with the love scene in the last chapter, please forgive me. It was my first time and I blushed way too much to make it longer. However, I'll try to do a better one in another story.

Preview:
Seiya watched as the people transported in from earth. One girl gushed in happiness as she teleported in. She looked at Seiya and ran to him and hugged him.
“Did you hear what is going on with the royals?”
Seiya looked down at the girl. “Princess Minako!”
Her smiled brightened. “You have to hear this, where's Yaten?”
He then took her towards Yaten's guard post.
