Pernia stood before the mirror and pressed down on the tight white silk that made up the bodice of the wedding gown she was trying on. The bodice was soft and clung to her chest and waist it had pearls along the neck line and the v waist, the sleeves clung to the curve of her shoulders and spilled down tightly half way down her arms before creating a waterfall effect the rest of the way. The back of the bodice revealed half of her back and had pearl buttons. The skirt of the dress spilled loosely around her in several layers and a layer of white lace was over that.

She sighed and stared up at her reflection and grimaced wondering if Seto would like it.

"Are you going to come out or not?" asked Mai from the other side of the current where she and the other females were waiting.

"I don't think I like this one," said Pernia.

"Hun you have tried on a dozen wedding gowns already," said Mai. "You know very well Seto is going to like whatever you wear. Besides, it ain't what you wear for the weddin it is what ya wear for the wedding night."

"Mai!" shrieked Pernia blushing."

"Calm down doll," laughed Mai. "Just come on out, and if you don't like that one I think I see one that I have a feeling I know you are going to love."

Seto scowled and stared at his reflection as he pulled on the jacket for his tuxedo.

"Why do I have to be a groom's man at money bags wedding?!" demanded Joey storming out of the changing room.

"Because," said Mokuba grinning. "Pernia wanted Mai and them to be in her bridal shower so it only made sense that their male counterparts be groom's men."

"That and you boys helped save Pernia," said Pegasus looking up from the book he was reading.

"Aren't you going to get a tuxedo?" asked Yugi looking at the silver haired male.

"No," said Pegasus. "I already have my suit."

"You are not going to wear that red thing are you?" asked Tristan as he and the other males looked at Pegasus shuddering slightly.

"Of course not," scowled Pegasus. "I plan on wearing a tux I brought after you saved her, because I had a feeling it was only a matter of time before you came to me for her hand in marriage."

"You knew all along I was going to marry her before I did?" asked Seto turning to the other male.

"Of course," said Pegasus smirking. "I saw it the moment you saved her from the water."

Seto opened his mouth to respond before giving the older male a strange look, wondering how he knew more about his life then Seto himself did.

"You have got to be kidding me!" said Pernia from behind the curtain.

"Come on out," said Mai.

"I do not want to come out," said Pernia.

"Too bad," said Arora pulling her out of the changing booth.

The females all gathered around Pernia and took in the wedding dress she was wearing. The bodice was made of silk like the last one, the neck swooped down from the middle of the shoulders to the reveal the top of her breasts, and then it revealed the curve of her shoulders before covering the rest of her arms and ending in a point near her middle finger, a small white loop held the sleeve still; then the back revealed the back of her shoulders but covered the middle of her back which was held secure by pearl buttons and than revealed the rest of her back stopping an inch and a half above her rare. The skirt flowed from her waist like a waterfall.

"That looks great," said Mai clapping her hands together.

"I don't know," said Pernia. "I like it but I'm not sure its right for a wedding."

"Oh believe me honey," said Mai smiling. "It's perfect, now all we have to do is find something for you to wear on your wedding night. Speaking of wedding night , Arora we never did you get something to wear on yours."

"Hey, I already had my wedding night," said Arora. "And I have the stomach to prove it."

"Yeah," said Mai wrapping an arm around the other woman's shoulders. "But who says you can't wait until after the baby is born?"

"Mai," said Arora. "There is no way I would be able to hide it at my place."

"Then we will hide it at mine," said Mai.

"Oh yeah," said Tea. "Like Joey would allow that."

"I'll hide it where I had all my other woman stuff," said Mai.

"What woman's stuff?" asked Mizu.

The other females looked at each other and then down at the younger girl.

"Nothing," they said laughing.

"Come on," said Mai as Pernia stepped out and paid for the gown with Seto's credit card. "Let's go and get us some lunch!"

The girls cheered and headed out of the bridal shop in search of lunch.

"So," said Yami slowly as Seto finished paying for the tuxedos. "Where are you taking her for your honeymoon?"

"I am taking her to America," said Seto handing the man the check.

"That's nice," said Pegasus joining the conversation. "Pernia would love that."

"Pegasus can you give us a minute?" asked Seto. "I am going to ask Mutoh some questions."

The group of males fell silent and all stared at Seto in shock.

"Yeah," said Seto rolling his eyes. "It came as a surprise to me too."

Joey reached over and placed his hand on Seto's head, "Are you getting a fever money bags?"

"Stop it mutt!" snapped Seto slapping the hand away.

"Na!" said Joey walking away. "He's fine just had to check!"

"Now that those fools are gone," said Seto. "I want to ask you something."

"What?"

"Is getting married the right thing to do?"

Yami sighed and ran his hands through his multi-colored hair.

"You know," said Yami softly. "If you are unsure about getting married then maybe you shouldn't get married."

"I love Pernia."

"Look Kaiba," said Yami firmly. "I know you are in love with her, but if you don't think you are ready to get married then maybe you shouldn't get married at the moment."

"I want to marry her though," said Seto sighing. "I just don't know if I would make a good husband."

"Kaiba," said Yami sighing and staring at the man firmly. "You turned against me when you thought I had killed Pernia, you dove right into the water without even thinking, and you got down on your knees in front of her and Pegasus in order win her back. You will make a good husband for her."

"But what about a good father if we decide to have one?"

"I think Mokuba is proof enough of that, that you will make a good father."

"You seem so sure," said Seto.

"I am surprised you aren't after all you were always supposed to be the cocky ass," said Yami. "The one that was always sure of himself no matter what. You should keep that with you even in your marriage. I don't think Pernia would want you too be anyway else."

"For once Mutoh you are right," said Seto grudgingly. "Who would have thought?"

"That's the Kaiba we all know and love," said Joey popping up from behind them and draping his arms around them.

"Wheeler stop being an ass," said Seto shoving him away.

Joey just laughed and ran ahead to join the others.

Pernia sighed and slipped into her white panties and underwear before pulling the white silk slip on over it. She stared at herself in the mirror and shook herself to ease the nervousness in her stomach.

"You'll be fine," said Arora coming up and placing three pearl chokers around Pernia's neck.

"I don't know if I should be doing this," said Pernia softly.

"Honey," said Mai. "I am surprised that Seto can do it, I mean out of all the males I expected him to be a bachelor for life. Believe me I think you are ready. Now here put this on."

Pernia sighed and slipped into the thigh high stockings and garters.

"Don't worry," said Isis handing her a silver anklet. "Here wear this it might help you calm down."

Pernia sighed and slipped on the anklet and felt almost at peace.

"Thanks I feel I little better."

"Good," said Isis. "Because it's almost time."

Kaiba sighed and fiddled with his tie while looking the mirror.

"Relax," said Pegasus. "You'll do fine."

"I know," said Kaiba.

"Good," said Pegasus. "Because, it's time."

The two males walked out into the hall where the rest of the group was.

"Just remember," said Pegasus as the band began to play a song. "If you hurt her I will kill you."

"Yeah, yeah," said Seto as he walked down the aisle in confidence.

When Seto reached his spot at the altar he began to fiddle with his tie in agitation, Yami nudged him and Seto stopped. As the wedding march began and Mokuba and Mizu walked down the aisle as the ring barrier and flower girl; then Pernia appeared with Pegasus and they walked down the aisle towards Seto.

"Wow," whispered Seto in awe.

"I told you," said Mai in Arora's ear. "It would be perfect for her."

"Sssshhh!" hissed Arora.

The priest smiled down at the new couple and began to ceremony, finally he announced them man and wife. Seto smirked and lifted the veil revealing Pernia's smiling face; he smiled cupping her cheek and then leaned down kissing lips sealing the promise with a kiss.

THE END!

Also this is your last chance to vote on which of the newest stories I will do.

1) Detective Sergeant Yami lead his men into the abandoned mansion with his gun pointed in front of him. He motioned for his men to spread out and search the entire mansion. He and a small group of men moved to the left while the others moved to the right. They kicked open the doors as one and moved into the mansion searching for any signs of drugs or the missing girls.

Yami looked around the room he was searching and carefully checked in the bathroom, the closet, behind the curtains, and under the bed. He cursed when he didn't find anything or anyone.

"Damn," he cursed into the wire attached to the collar of his black leather coat. "Anyone find anything?"

"Nope," came the responses of his team.

Yami uttered another curse and looked around the room relaxing the gun slightly but keeping his eyes and ears peeled.

"Yami!" said Joey his best friend.

"What is it Joey?"

"I hear something in the basement."

"Let's check it out," said Yami leaving the room and meeting Joey in the hallway by the door toward the basement.

Together the two males kicked down the door and descended into the basement what they saw there made them stop in their tracks.

"Oh my God," whispered Joey lowering his weapon.

2)

Yami Senso could not believe he had gotten into this predicament. He stared at the stainless steel table at the police office in front of him; he was trying to ignore the stern look of the officer on the other side of the table, Joey Wheeler. Yami was being charged with something that he hadn't committed, someone had framed him, of that he was certain.

"Mr. Senso," said Joey firmly. "If you do not help me, then I can't help you. Now, I want you to tell me everything you remember about last night."

"I told you officer," said Yami dully. "I was no where near the girl."

"I know Yami," sighed Joey dropping the formality. "But you have yet to provide an alibi for that and without an alibi we can not pull out witnesses that can affirm your claim."

"I can not give you witnesses because I was alone," said Yami his eyes fixed now leaving the table.

"Joey," said a new voice as the door room opened and Yugi, a top attorney, walked into the room followed by a woman.

Yami's head snapped up and her took in the new comers. The male had hair that seemed to like his except the yellow wasn't has wild. He was wearing a brown business suit and a white button up shirt with a dark purple tie. He wore wire rimmed glasses over wide yet intelligent purple eyes and his face was set in a firm mask of confidence. The woman that had walked in with him wearing a tight black skirt that showed off her great legs and slim waist, a midnight blue button up blouse that showed some cleavage, she was also wearing a black trench coat that stopped at her knees and her long legs were made even longer by the black pumps she was wearing. Her keen sapphire blues eyes swept the room taking in the officer and Yami, her long black hair was pulled back into a French Twist. There was only one word that Yami could think of that would even come close enough to describe her, ethereal.
