A small smile pressed on the boy's lips at Roxel's complaint, chuckling heartily. Yes, it was nice to be home. "Hey~ It's for Sammy, be nice." He leaned forward, kissing the teen's neck softly where a mark was starting to darken. A promise for things to come. "Don't worry, we'll have plenty of time for fun later."
He sat up and yawned, stretching his hands up high. He'd been working all afternoon, plus the excitement of being found and seeing his dad, and now he was going to go searching for Sammy's dad then after THAT have sex? Ugh, he better get to sleep in ALL day tomorrow.
He got off the bed, crossing his arms as he looked between Moxley and Jax with the little chick on his mane. "You two are going to watch her. I better not come back and find even ONE feather out of place or I'm putting you both on a permanent diet! Got it?"
Moxley whimpered softly lowering himself on the floor - no more bacon bits? - and Jax's ears pressed down. He wanted to grow as big as the sky lion!
"Good!" He pet them both on the head lovingly before leaving the room with Roxel, holding his hand and they headed up the stairs at a slow pace, being the last to reach the lounge. The sight of them gained some secret smiles among the team; he had a feeling that, despite them all missing him and possibly wanting to talk to him or hang out with him, they were letting him be with Roxel because well... they needed each other.
Tensai shared a smile with the violet-eyed boy, laughing softly at his signs. "See you should listen to me more often!" They really were alike... both half-breeds with one missing parent, both having been 'adopted', both had a 'prophecy' foretold about them that came true, both of them having special abilities that they themselves could hardly explain. Now they were even both from the same connection?! It was kind of funny how bit the universe was, yet how small it became for all of them.
Or maybe it was just... that no matter what species you are, you really aren't that different from one another. Their is always One Sky and One Destiny.
"Alright everyone! We have one objective and one only!" Lucina was the one to speak, her voice commanding. She WAS a leader (and Aqua and Seifer personally were sick of giving speeches). She also seemed more excited and into this search than Sammy himself; hopefully she'd become a good motivator for him later on. "Find Sammy's dad! So that means no running off to any festivals or making out in any alleys," She gave Roxel and Tensai a look, then her brother and his lover another-
"Oh one TIME!"
for a mission a few months ago had gone a little awry and when she next saw Kadaj and Gunnar they were red in the face and had love bites on their necks. Gunnar HAD said at the time they had found some... girls who they had thought had some clues to the Keyblade they had been looking for and got seduced. Now she knew the truth.
"I want everyone to stay focused!"
Sanyi shifted nervously beside Namine wanting to ask if they got talks like this before EVERYTHING they did. Heh, he could almost imagine the leaders giving speeches to people before they went into the bathroom.
'If you don't shit right, you don't deserve to shit at all!'
Yeaaaah... they were scary people.

Gunnar's eyes widened before he frowned, crossing his arms and looking away. Hey, if Tweedledee and Tweedledum over there got to have fun on missions, ONE TIME was not going to put a world in jeopardy!
They nodded though as the button was pressed and the ramp came down, dust flying as it hit the ground.
Purple eyes looked out nervously, not knowing how this world was...and wasn't sure if he wanted to know. What if his dad wasn't here...? Maybe he was dead. Maybe it was an uncle or something... but he didn't have time to think as a hand was put in his and he looked up, seeing his fiance's smile. By her side... he had some more confidence. He swallowed again before following the rest of the group down the ramp and into the heat of the desert. He was sure it was hotter during the day...
The group didn't get far before they reached something that made Gunnar grin. No alleys here. It was nothing but huts!
Huts that were overshadowed by a humongous fortress.
Men and women alike, dirty by the same and their obvious working life, all looked up as they heard the group come closer.
One man in particular, with a scruffy beard growled as they stepped foot into the beginning of the small camp.
"Don't you come any further! Get the hell out of here! We just got our world back! We don't want any more trouble." He shouted as he grabbed a nearby pitchfork, pointing it at them.
Some more men and curious children came from inside their huts to see what was going on.
The group did stop, Gunnar staring the man down, Roxel stepping closers to his found love, Namine pouting but everyone's eyes widened when Lucina and Sammy got to the head of their group.
The man who shouted out gasped, the pitch fork falling from his hands as children ran to their mothers.
"A....a Thym? B-b-b-b-but how?" The man exclaimed in shock.

The berserker of the group huffed some as they stepped onto the soft land, the heat coming down with a vicious force even if it was setting. He had never felt it be quite so hot in his life and he feared to know what midday was like! He wondered if those in Kongol's region had to suffer so. All Sanyi could concentrate was the large building that swept over the land, providing shade. That would be nice about now...
Tensai scuffed his shoes in the floor, glancing side longs at his partner every now and again. All he could thing about was the last time they were on a desert planet - Atteris of course - and how much fun he and Roxel had had cartwheeling and somersaulting in the sand, competing to see who could bring up the biggest dust clouds. If they weren't in the middle of everyone, he would of challenged him again.
Aqua shaded her eyes from the glaring sun in the distance, looking down at the beige, red sands with mistrust. She never liked dry places, they put her at a disadvantage. And now without her Keyblade water was even harder to manipulate and - Stop thinking like that! You're not a Chaser anymore, there's no more fighting. And then of course the first guy they saw pulled a pitchfork on them.
She thought too soon.
The Chasers stopped at the command but they made no move to back off. Kadaj just looked boredly at the man as if he was no threat, Sanyi bared his sharp teeth, Seifer just smirked cockily - but it fell when he noticed his daughter taking a few more steps forward, her clasping hand linking her to fiance and pulling him with her for all to see.
The sight of him was apparently not expected, but the young woman took the shock to her advantage. "This is Samael, my fiance." She announced to the other proudly. "He is half-human is one of the survivors of the tragedy that befell the Thym culture... and has come here looking for his father. His name is Cheval. Now if you please, stand aside because I guarantee you we aren't leaving until we've found who we came for."

The man listened to the young woman intensely before blinking slowly. It seemed it was hard for him to grasp what she had said. The last Thym? Half human? CHEVAL!?
Some of the women gasped when they heard the man they were seeking out's name. They pulled their children closers before heading back inside their huts.
"Cheval. I-I can take you to him." He nodded before carefully turning and hurrying towards the large fortress.
It seemed like he was still in shock to see the purple eyed man.
Sammy looked down at Lucina with a weak smile before they started to walk after the man. The cool air of the shade hit them nicely when they came upon the fortresses shadow. Sammy looked up as they walked up the steps, seeing how ancient yet sturdy this place was. Why was his father inside though? He didn't seem to be a noble man himself...
When they walked through the large doors, it was plain to see how OLD this place really was. Sand was found at every corner and tried to clean up walls still had some spiders living there. On the walls were ancient writing and designs, torches guiding their way as the man continued through the narrow passages and the large room until he turned and opened another wooden door. There was a silent agreement that only Sammy and Lucina would go into the room as it seemed to large for the whole group.
When they walked inside, a man was hunched over a desk with the guide whispered something in his ear.
The man at the desk suddenly shot up, the chair he was sitting on hitting the brick, sandy floor with a bang before he spun around and looked at the man and woman who had entered the room.
Sammy's heart shivered as his eyes recognized the man who was now peering at them.
"Father..."
The man seemed to be as stunned as the younger before he slowly walked towards him.
"S-Samael?"
His voice was still the same... calm and gentle...and full of hope.

The young woman was relieved when they didn't get a fight - though she was concerned with the reaction of the crowd when she mentioned the man's name. Were they afraid of him? But why? They had only seen him once in the memories but on first impression he did not seem cruel or mean and Charnette did not exactly seem like the woman to like a man like that - but hey, what did she know?
She smiled back at Sammy though, trying to give him some confidence. She could feel the nervousness boiling under his skin - he was really worried about this meeting. But she supposed she would too if it was her in this position (her dad would be a really scary person to meet!). She squeezed his hand reassuringly, telling him she wouldn't leave him, as they followed after the unknown citizen into the large building that commanded respect and power.
This was beginning to look more and more bleak as they went on. Who WAS Cheval?
Tensai sighed as he and the others were left outside, admitting this whole experience was a tad strange. It was strange how just hours ago he had met his dad for the first time, and now Sammy was doing the same. Who would be next - his mom!? He sighed as he leaned against one of the dirty walls and laughed at the look Roxel was giving him. It said 'See?! We could of totally of been having sex right now!' He elbowed him in the ribs lightly. "Stop that!"
Mako eyes watched his lover, seeing the dark-haired brunette watching the walls intensely where some spiders were moving in their webs. Not arachnophobic eh? He reached out towards one of the webs, letting a small spider with red and black legs and a white and black striped body climb onto his fingers. She was rather pretty. "This one reminds me of Ven." Gunnar looked back and jerked a bit, making Kadaj smile teasingly. He was so very amusing. "They aren't that scary Gunnar~" He let it crawl around his fingers for awhile longer, just so he could creep out his lover, before allowing her back into her web.
"This is kind of weird." Aqua mumbled softly as the door closed behind Sammy and Luci - of course none of them had known what to expect. She glanced at her wife to see what she thought - and was surprised to find the distracted look on her face. She hadn't even seen to of heard her. She had no idea of what her wife had asked Sammy only a few minutes ago. Aqua waved her hand in front of her wife's eye, catching her attention. "Hey. What's on your mind?"
Seifer had crossed his arms, looking sourly at the wooden door his daughter had disappeared into, grunting at his wife's excited comments. But his eyes darted to the left when he heard Aqua and Fujin talking, raising an eyebrow and shaking his head. He had heard was Fuu had inquired from the lounge and personally he didn't see WHY she cared so damn much. As far as he was considered, there parents abandoned THEM. They were the ones to miss out and it was their own goddamn fault. The only reason he'd EVER want to see his own was so he could shove his much better and more successful family into their fucking faces.
Beyond the door was a different scene, almost tender. Lucina slowly let go of her love's hand as she looked on at the man even she could recognize - despite only seeing him once. It was definitely him. and he wasn't scary or mean-looking at all. He just looked like a dad... who had lost a son.
She glanced at her soon-to-be husband, feeling the emotions swirling in his heart then at the man who could not keep the hope on his face - and then of course she remembered she was the only one who could HEAR Sammy and would have to act as translator. "It is him." She said softly, not wanting to really break the moment but not really having a choice.

Roxel sighed and shifted back and worth after getting HIT IN THE RIBS! He thought Tensai LOVED him. He pouted though, looking around the large dome room they had stopped in. Even when people were trying to be quiet, their echoes bounced off the walls more than they had in the Room of Echoes. His eyes caught some writing on the wall before he grinned, looking back at his lover. "So what's all written all over these, walls? Huh?"
Fuu frowned as she watched the two disappear before sighing. Her gaze looked away, at the drawings and inscriptions on the walls but she wasn't looking at them at all. What if it was her in this situation...? What if it was her meeting her father or mother for the first time. It would probably be worse... now that she was so old and they would be even older. Maybe too old to even communicate.
That would be.... horrible. Finding her parents and them not being able to tell her why they aband---
A hand was waved in her face and her red eye widened a fraction before looking up, at her wife. She frowned before sighing out something, a moment of silence before she gathered her thoughts and herself. "I asked Sammy before we came down here if he knew...if he could tell me if my own parents were dead... But he said since he wasn't a full Thym, he didn't have the power to find out..." She took another sigh before looking into her lover's eyes. "I know... it's a beaten and dead subject but I still....just want to know why...."
"GEEH!" Gunnar jerked as he looked to see what his lover was doing only to see some horrible fucking SPIDER on Kadaj's hand. "They are fucking to! I MEAN..." He caught himself before rubbing the back of his neck. "They are when millions of them are crawling all over you!" He frowned and crossed his arms, looking away. "I'll get over them in no time...."
Mako eyes slowly shifted, watching Kadaj let the spider back up to her web before sighing in relief.
Olette smile as she looked at the door, wondering if Sammy's dad was really inside. That would be kind of exciting! Then she was have a...NEW RELATIVE! She looked up at Seifer and grinned but then pouted with the expression on his face. "Oh jeez... can't you be excited about anything!?"
The two men inside the room seemed to be frozen in time as blue eyes looked into purple. The other man who had brought the Chasers in was leaning on the desk that the man was working on, watching curiously at the scene before the beautiful woman finally broke the silence. The gruff man seemed to pull back in shock and disbelief as the more familiar one's face changed in such a way, it was hard to even describe with words.
A child.... long lost to the universe... had come home.
How could one explain the feeling of meeting you child again?
"I-I don't know how...but I won't question it..." The man said softly, full of love and happiness as he slowly stepped forward until he was right in front of Sammy.
"Samael...my boy...." A hand reached up and ran over the blone man's cheek, making Sammy flinch a bit at how rough the man's hand was. "You're....alive...."
Suddenly, his hand ran through the boy's hair to the back of his head before he pulled the boy's head strong so it was on his shoulder.
Cheval nuzzled his son's hair, tears running down his face as he held his son tightly. "I missed you....so much...." He chocked before Sammy slowly wrapped his arms around his father to return the hug.
The sound of feet coming up old, brick steps could be heard as dust and sand picked up. Suddenly, a group emerged on the top of the fortress, the night sky welcoming them with what seemed to be all the stars in the universe.
"Woooooow...." Namine looked up, dazzled by all the stars in the sky. Even when you see them more that usual people since you're in a ship flying through SPACE, it's nothing like seeing their beauty on land.
They continued following the man in the lead towards a humongous, towering monument. There was even steps to go up to it but they all stopped at the base.
Everyone looked up at it and it was just a large rock but in front of it away was whats seemed to be the frame of a mirror. At the base of it however, were pieces of shattered glass with a strange yet familiar design on it.
The ancient symbol that appeared with Sammy's spells.
"I was hoping that... when you came back....it meant that the mirror had been restored..."
The man spoke, obvious sorrow in his voice as he slowly reached down and picked up a large piece of the broken glass.
Fuu frowned as she looked at the frame, then at the rock. "So... this was the device that you used to go between....dimensions?"
Cheval looked back at the silverette woman in shock. "How do you---"
She waved her hand but smiled. "It's a long story."
"I see..."
"So the mirror shattered when the other world was destroyed?" Gunnar inquired, seeing the man only nod. "Yes... and the day after that happened, small black beasts appeared with bright yellow eyes and our world was swallowed as well. I can only wonder if that was the same fate my beautiful princess had met."
Sammy frowned and looked down. It wasn't... though he wish it was... because then his world would of returned as well...
Cheval finally looked up and back at his son. "So... will you be staying here, now?" His voice regaining some hope but all Sammy could do was glance at his fiance, knowing that she would have to give his father the news...

Tensai looked at the walls and squinted at the writing, seeing some of the words piecing themseleves together on him. It was a dead language, but must of recently died. It was giving him some trouble. "Well, If you really wanna know we can take the walls back with us." The teen teased with a smile.
The elder woman smiled pacifically as she reached out and placed a hand on her wife's shoulder. "It's alright I understand." She looked away for a moment, thinking critically for a time then nodded and looked back to her wife. "If you really want to know, we could try a DNA search and see if we can locate them... After that... well..."
Kadaj chuckled softly before turning towards his lover, wrapping his arms around him and pulling him close. He whispered softly, "I know you're lying." He kissed away the sour look trying to form on Gunnar's lips. He wanted to tell Gunnar he was being silly; that most worlds were composed a less than 3% of venomous spider and they were such puny creature even the deadliest of them would do nothing to them because their Mako content would burn the venom away before it did any harm.
But then he couldn't tease him! "Don't worry, I'll protect you."
Seifer huffed, his scar crinkling as his eyebrows turned down. "Of course I can be! I was excited when our children were born." He quirked a small smile when his wife complained about a RECENT time. He lowered his voice so only she could hear. "Few nights ago... when you pulled out the orange condom." He chuckled as she blushed before leaning against the wall, sighing some in defeat. "So. How many grandchildren you think we're going to get?"
God one day his little girl was going to be a mom. A wife and a MOM! It seemed like just yesterday he was teaching her how to add her numbers. And he didn't even know what to expect from his son.
Lucina smiled at the sweet scene and even if she felt out of place being here, she didn't care. She had promised to stand by his side, and that was what she was doing. She was just glad... that his dad seemed so happy, seeing his son again and knew, once they got Tensai to teach him, they could have full conversations all on their own. Sammy could learn all the things he never knew - about his dad, and a lot about his mom too she was sure.
Cheval learned quite quick that his son was like his wife - he could not speak to him. This did not seem to bother him much though he did seem curious about how Lucina seemed to have even less trouble then he - it would be another long story they would need to tell. Though the legend of the Paopu was short, the blessings it had given them were all wonders in themselves.
In the new room more than just Namine was struck by the sky. Even Tensai, the sight common on his father's worlds as well, still loved seeing them from the sky. Sanyi too was 'star-struck' but not by the sky. By the beautiful blonde-haired lady, her eyes glittering and her skin glowing in all the light. "Wow..." He uttered softly. She was a beauty!
Meanwhile the others were listening to Cheval (except Roxel who was thinking about playing with a tiny chick and how he would love to teach it to circus stunts) and many of them grimaced at the notion of his world stolen by heartless. It was not a surprising answer - it would explain why they could not find him before when they first found Sammy, but now could - but it was never pleasant to hear. Especially to those like Aqua and Seifer who had to experience it firsthand on their own worlds. Course for the latter the experience was particularly memorable because his... lack of clothing afterward - in front of Olette of all girls!
The next discussion was breached quickly and the Chasers all shifted nervously on their feet, knowing the answer before the hopeful man did. Hopefully it wouldn't crush him.
Lucina took a deep breath, before exhaling it in a rush as she spoke. "Well actually..." She started catching his attention. "The reason we came here was not just to meet you Cheval. We... Sammy and I... wished to invite you."
She was given a curious look but she stood up straighter, smiling despite her nerves. "We haven't decided where we want to live quite yet because you see your son and I are in love. A few nights ago he proposed to me and I said yes. We would be honored if you would come to our wedding."

The man blinked when he heard the young woman speak. At her words though, he couldn't help but frowned in sadness. He had just seen his son... and now only for a few hours? Fate was not kind to him. When he heard the 'invite' part, he rose his eyebrow in question. Invite him? To wh---
His blue eyes widened, some light glistening in them as he heard the real reason for this visit... and he....couldn't of been happier.
A soft smile ran over his lips before he walked towards the two slowly. "Getting married? Well.... you have my blessing... and I would be honored to come."
Sammy smiled happily when he heard that his father wanted to come. He thought he would never have the cha---
"Charnette and I never had the chance to marry. I have read much literature about romance that was halted by family, countries, even worlds..." He paused and sighed, looking at the large rock longingly. "But never by dimension."
He looked back at the group with a worn smile. "You see, it was forbidden to have romantic relations with the Thym. Not only because they were from another dimension adjacent to ours... or the fact that they were from the dimension of The Souls but because it is one of our ancient legends."
"Legends?" Namine rose her eyebrow as she came back down to reality but she blinked and blushed when she saw Sanyi eying her.
"Yes... As you might of known...perhaps.... that we base a lot of things on fate an always had because of this fortress. You see, it is the only building standing from the lost city. A city that was said to be buried under the sands" He shifted and walked towards the edge of the balcony, the others following him. That was when they all got a glimpse of the other side of the fortress. It was shocking to everyone really.
For miles, the land was dug up and it went down for probably miles as well as small huts and ancient machine were put to rest for the night.
"We have been searching for the lost city for hundreds of years... hoping to find the mysteries of the cities that use to be on this desert world. The scripts on the walls in the fortress tells many stories of this city and others that would link us to the past. My job is to translate them."
Sammy blinked before glancing at Tensai. This was getting more and more stranger. Same connection, same fate, same group and now his father was a translator much like Tensai.
"That's why I work in the fortress instead of digging out there. Only a few others work in there as well and no one comes inside unless it's an emergency due to obvious reasons of accidentally ruining a script. There are so many, in so many places... one can't be too careful."
He stopped and looked at the group before a blush ran over his face and he rubbed his neck. "Oh! I went on babbling. I am very sorry. What were we speaking about?"
"Legends." Gunnar put dully before Cheval seemed to remember.
"Oh, yes. You see---" He started as he lead the way to behind the large stone.
"On the back of the stone here, you can see more scripts. These had already been translated hundreds of years ago and they say something along the lines that the humans on this world are to turn into Thym after their death. Therefor, their was a strict rule enforced that no human was to have relations with the Thym romantically though trade was open to use for almost 75 years until the Thym forbid us to come to their dimension completely.
He smiled as he looked down, again his eyes going far off to another place. "However, when my own parents died due to a mechanical failure, I visited their grave one night and saw the most beautiful woman that I had ever laid eyes upon. When I inquired why she was at my parents graves, she turned and I instantly knew she was not of this world. Her skin was so light it almost looked like a shade of blue and her hair was the color of fire. But her eyes... purple and beautiful... they were so warm."
Sammy watched his father, as if he was playing out the same feelings he had that day he had met his... mother.
"I didn't care about any legend. She told me she was there to help my parents accept their death and since it was on our world, she came personally because she was their princess and she felt it was her duty to help us. She showed me my parents, I heard their last goodbyes... and saw them off. She knew how lonely I was but she was regretful to leave me. She told me... that if I found a way to get to her dimension... she would be mine. Our love was instant and that very night I applied to become a scholar of the fortress."
With a nod, he looked back and smiled. "So, I translated all the parts that I knew were restricted because they had the key to opening a mirror to the other side. When I translated it and found the materials I needed, I set up the mirror in my hut and tried it out. As I passed through the mirror, I could only think of the beautiful woman I wanted to spend my life with and there I was suddenly, in a world that was so dark but so warm and in the bedroom of the woman I loved. She was in my arms in a second and... that was how it all began. She said it was our fate that brought us together and we wasted no time expressing our love."
Water was pulling at Sammy's eye lid as his father ended the story.
"I was just so glad that I was able to see you but three times... though I wish it was more... and now... seeing you again, Samael... Fate is finally turning better for me again. So yes, I would be honored to come and see your wedding and I thank you with all my heart and soul that you came to even invite me."
Heart and soul.
That was all that one needed to be happy. Fate played a large part of it but you cannot feel fate like you can love. And Love always prevails, whether it be for good or bad.
Love made vanda orchid bloom on bright green leaves all around the railings on the stairs and around the edges. Love provided the white chairs with more purple flowers and green lace tied to them. Love made the long light green tables with more blooming flowers as the centerpiece, a large lavender cake with green place. Love made the archway covered in beautiful flowers and bows, a white alter with guess:
More flowers.
Love also weaved and stitched a beautiful thistle dress with elegant white lacing on the bosoms and bottom. Light green flowers bloomed on the tailbone of the dress before a fountain of beautiful lace came down the back. Love also tailored a fitted tux, white blazer and pants as a light green dress shirt was placed under it with a dark green tie.
Love made curls and bows in blonde, long hair as it pulled more blonde hair back into half ponytail to reveal bright purple eyes and a pale face.
Love brought a crowd of people, sitting in the chairs that Love had made and watched as sweet white pedal fluttered down on the ground.
Love had done all this... of course with the help of a certain swear jar.
A woman in a soft orange dress patted her eyes, sniffing as she heard the voice of a man speaking words that she knew long ago. The same words he had spoke at her OWN wedding. It was so nice for him to do her daughters as well even if he was retired now. She glanced up and her green eyes widened to see tears. coming. down. Seifer's. cheek.
WHERE WAS A CAMERA WHEN YOU NEEDED ONE!? Green eyes turned to the other man sitting on her other side, seeing the tears running down his face as well as a smile was on his face.
"I DON'T WANT YOU SITTING NEXT TO ANOTHER MAN!"
"HE IS A WIDOW FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, SEIFER!"
She looked back at her husband before looking pass him at her son who was dressed nicely as well, seeing him shift nervously as he watched his sister at the alter, his lover sitting next to them and their hand in one another.
"We are going to have...mmmmmm SIX grandchildren!"
"WHAT!? WOMAN, ARE YOU CRAZY! Wait...don't answer that. I already know..."
Everyone stopped their whispering and looked up as the priest spoke his most famous of questions. Green and purple eyes met as their hands clasped each other, the beautiful ring on Lucina's hand the the matching band on both their fingers.
"Samael, will you take Lucina to be your wife, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish her friendship and love her today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor her, laugh with her and cry with her? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
Sammy smiled before pulling his hands away softly and sighed.
'I will.'
"I will."
"Lucina, will you take Samael to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish his friendship and love him today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor him, laugh with him and cry with him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
"I will." A loving voice came from the woman as she looked into the purple.
"I now pronounce you man and wife – and may your days be good and long upon the earth. You may now kiss the bride."
Sammy smiled before pulling Lucina closer gently, leaning down only slightly before their lips caught and the world around them seemed to explode in joyous cheer.
"I really can't believe she arranged this WHOLE wedding with that fucking swear jar. Who would of guess?" Ven asked as he sat on one of the railings, watching the wedding from afar. "She could of saved all that fucking money for something better if she just had a blood bonding..." Ven growled as he looked next to him, seeing Terra roll his eyes. "You WOULD say that you cheap ass!"
"That cake looks delicious... I wish I could have some of it." A brunette pouted as he looked over at the wedding cake in high hopes before the silverette next to him patted his back.
"Yea, and where are all the candles!?" A redhead exclaimed. "Well not everyone wants their wedding on fire, Axel!" A blonde sighed in defeat.
Food and drink were served, toasts were made to encourage the young couple as Olette was shocked that she didn't have to break Seifer out of his shell. He even made a toast! Gunnar saw well, though he still needed some support as Kadaj rubbed his lover's hand that didn't have the glass in it.
The cake was next along with gifts that would help with memories and their new lives as all of Olette's were objects that seemed to beg for them to go on their honeymoon and have a baby!
It was all in good fun and Lucina couldn't help but smear some cake of Sammy's cheek as he put frosting on her nose. Even Moxely and Jax got some cake since they had behaved so well when getting groomed for the event.
The sun was setting, the world around them becoming beautiful shades as the ceremony came to an end. A trolley slowly rolled up, all decorated in beautiful ribbons and flowers. It was a shock to Lucina and Sammy, not arranging this but with a smile from her mother, the bride could only hug her tightly before her and the half Thym walked towards it.... but not before she flung her bouquet behind her.
"OH! OH! OH! I GOT IT!" Namine called as she raced for it, Fuu as well, and easier since she did not wear a dress but a suit. Even Olette tried her luck but before the flowers could fall down to any of them, another arm reached out, taller than any of the others and snatched the flowers easily. The women blinked before turning, laughing as they saw Bonnie sniffing the flowers teasingly as she held them close, a black haired human standing next to her chuckling. Her lover.
"Great catch Bonnie!" Lucina called happily, waving to her friend who had traveled quite a way for her wedding.
"You know it, love!" Bonnie called back before she waved as well. With that, the two newlyweds started heading down the hill.
"HOLD IT! I want a picture!" A spunky girl came running up as Sammy and Lucina were about to board the decorated trolley but halted when they saw Namine run down hill with a camera flailing in her hand. She stopped a good distance before she pulled the camera. "SAY CHEESE!"
Lucina brought Sammy close and smiled before the photo was snapped... and they boarded the trolley.
The picture came out of the camera slowly but when it did, the strawberry hair woman smiled happily.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
How about a thousand days... or more?
The same picture was now in its new home. A frame with some dust on it and among other framed pictures that held smiles of all kinds. There was also a large shard of glass on display. One of the pieces of the mirror that connected Arbiter and Thymosia years ago. The frames and things were on a shelf too that needed some dusting but it didn't seem to matter as it was able to get a perfect view of the room it was placed in. It overlooked a small bed that had railings on all sides and comfortable plush bedding. Laying in the mix was a small figure, shifting in a way that was not mastered yet before calming after awhile from large hands gently pulling a soft blanket over it.
Happy purple eyes slowly lidded as the large hand came down and ran over the light, soft blonde curls.
"Good night, Gwri." Blonde hair tickled the baby's cheek, making the little boy giggle as a kiss was placed on his forehead before pulling away. The boy smiled but those eyelids were too heavy and slowly closed before nuzzling a little bird plush.
The man walked away from the crib, slowly making his way across the small room to a large window with a small flower perch. A bench was placed next to the window and sitting on it was a beautiful woman with beautiful blonde locks, her bright green eyes looking out as the birds flew by, getting ready for their own slumber. Arms wrapped around her shoulder gently and the man leaned down, placing a tender kiss on his wife's neck before his purple eyes opened as the sound of bells came over the land.
He looked up, seeing the beautiful sight of the clock tower on the Central Station. A warm smiled ran over his lips as he felt the woman lean back into him before holding her closer.
Down the street a ways, another couple stopped to listen to the bells, though they were much older... and getting ready to see their grandson in the morning for his two year birthday. She couldn't wait for the sound of more children laughing...
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"GO! GO! GO!"
"YOU CAN DO IT!"
Kids screamed and laughed as they raced across a slightly muddy field, a blue ball being thrown into the air.
"GO FOR IT!" A girl narrowed her eyes before she jumped and kicked the ball hard, making it go flying fast. So fast that the goalie couldn't stop it.
"AND THE BLUE DRAGONS WIN!" A voice called over the kids who were panting but smiled. "Nice job, guys." A woman walked over, putting her hand on her hip as her silver hair blew in the evening breeze. "Now you should all head home and wash up. You all have a big game tomorrow." The dirty kids smiled and nodded as they grouped together.
"All we need is one more kid and we'll have an advantage on the Brown Dragons." One of the boys smiled, mud smeared across his forehead from trying to wipe some sweat off his brow.
"Well, I'm sure when your coach is back in the game---"
"Don't worry, you'll be getting another team member!"
The kids blinked as they turned their heads, looking at the temple and seeing a woman coming down the steps slowly. She had to be careful since she was--
"NAMINE!" The kids called happily as they rushed over to see her and some of the younger ones were quick to gently place their ears on her very round belly.
"Whoa! I felt it kick! I'm sure he or she will be great on the team!" A girl cried happily as she bounced.
The woman smiled happily as she nodded, looking at all the kids around her. "You guys are going to kick BUTT tomorrow so get some good sleep!"
"YEA!!" They all cheered as they waved to the woman, running to their respective homes.
She watched them leave before blinking, seeing a light coming from behind her as the sound of an old door followed it. She looked back, her hazel eyes becoming dreamy as she saw the man standing in the door frame, his golden eyes reflecting the same feeling. The man was now of age, a true adult and was as handsome as ever.
He walked towards her and offered a clawed hand to help her back up the stairs but before she went, she looked back to see the silverette walking back into town. "OH FUJIN!?"
The woman stopped and looked back.
"GIVE MY REGARDS TO LUCI, SAMMY, OLETTE AND SEIFER TOMORROW FOR ME, WILL YOU!?"
"YEP!" The silverette called back as she waved the couple good-bye and started walking again.
She walked down a beaten road to a house somewhat close to the water. It would still take 15 minutes to get down there but it was closer than any other house. It was a home that was familiar in the memories. The House of Umi.
The crest on the door said it all.
She smiled before walking up the old, worn stairs and opened the door, suddenly being hit with the smell of cooked fish. She smiled as she closed the door but blinked when she saw a little suitcase at the door, seeing a little bird plush on the top. It was hand made...by Aqua.
The smile faded to a soft one before her loud boots walked across the wooden floor and she peeked into the kitchen, seeing a blue haired woman hunched over the fireplace. The silverette walked closer before strong arms wrapped around the thin frame of her wife. "They are so going to kick Kongol's team's asses."
"Of course they are. We fucking ROCK!" Aqua laughed as she turned and wrapped her arms around her wife's neck before they shared a passionate kiss. Fuu smiled as she reached up and took the rough hands of her lover into her own, pulling her closer as their forehead's met.
"I love you.." She spoke softly as her feet shifted to make them come closer.
The way ones feet moved seemed to not be important, though the craft was mastered in a way that seemed as if it could be recorded on a piece of paper, it would be a masterpiece. Delicate yet strong and knowing, as if it was stepped so many times though it was the the first for a man with liquid silver hair.
In a world of stars, in a mansion of wealth where the best dance hall was stationed, the auction house was bought out for the night by a wealthy man known as Sir Cassius de Andeuvilla the 2nd. The means of his arrival and askance of a band was unknown but with the money presented, no questions were asked.
It was just he and a business partner and to the high society, it would seem to be a very important business matter.
Then again, it was a very important business matter... though different from any business the rich could only dream on. The business of a promise. A loving promise.
The strings on the harps were strung, playing a familiar, lovely song to the brunette in a classy suit as his tanner hands intertwined with those of much paler. His other hand was placed lovingly yet firmly on a smaller waist as their bodies moved fluently. The waltz was slow but carried the same love, if not even more from the last time this man waltz across this floor as the harpist watched curiously.
A loving smile ran over the young man's face as he pulled the silverette away, his hand coming up higher as the silver hair picked up as the man twirled and much like before, the brunette pulled the slighter closer when the twirl was done, their faces close and a heat being shared. "I love you..." A breathless voice spoke against soft lips before they closed in. Their movement slowed as matching eyes closed, loving tongues rubbing against each other as the harp continued playing. The dome above helped the light of the stars shine down on the two lovers, their love seen by all... and they did not care of any opinion.
Stars did not only hold worlds or connections. They did not only hold light and darkness but they held love... and as a ship full of love passed them to venture to the birthplace of Nobodies, the love only grew as the two men inside had nothing but it.
"♪Does he love me? I want to know
How can I tell, if he loves me so?
Is it in his eyes?♪"
Blue and green eyes looked into orange eyes happily before shaking his head.
"♪Oh no, you'll be deceived
Is it in his eyes?
Oh no, he'll make believe
If you want to know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is~~~ OH YEA!♪"
The thin teen danced, his hips moving deliciously.
"♪Or is it in his face?
Oh no, that's just his charms
In his warm embrace?♪"
He moved against the black haired boy's chest, his butt rubbing against the man's crotch.
"♪Oh no, that's just his arms♪" He pulled with an evil grin.
"♪If you want----♪"
"♪YIP YIP YIP YIP CLUCK CLUCK♪"
The three pets bopped about as Jax and Moxley swung their tails and Melody flapped her wings.
"♪ to know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss~~
That's where it is
Ooooh, it's in his kiss♪"
"♪Oh oh oh, kiss him and squeeze him tight♪" Roxel pulled Tensai close, their lips meeting and a tight hug was given before Roxel pulled away again.
"♪And find out what you wanna knoooooow
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his KIIIIIIIIIISS♪"
"♪How 'bout the way he acts?
Oh no, that's not the way
And you're not listenin' to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss, that's where it is!
Oh yeah, it's in his kiss, that's where it is!♪" Roxel continued to sing as he started to unbutton his shirt slowly, licking his eyes as his hips continued to move and the music continued to play. The shirt fell off and long arms ran up to ruffle his own long, fire hair as his multicolored eyes darkened.
Moxley whimpered as he smelt the air a bit and yipped, warning the now larger moomba and the fully grown hen that they needed to get out of there! They wasted no time as they fled the room, Melody jumping up on Jax's back before the skilled lion pressed a button to close the door.
They all gave a sigh of relief as they heard noises of love starting as the song stopped playing. Good thing they got out in time!
Jax yawned lazily as they headed for a room all their own. In the new, small ship... life was a little bit noisier now that Roxel had his music room but in the small basement was a nice cool room where pictures of art hung as a beautiful easel sat in the middle of it, over looking the landing port that was made into a garden where three Paopu trees grew happily in their small island around a salt water moat.
The pets couldn't blame their masters though. They knew it was a common occurrence after a wedding.
Especially their OWN wedding.
They walked to the small pilot lounge where their beds were waiting. One smaller than the other since Moxely had his own bed and...Jax and Melody shared one.
The lion laid down, the hen roosting next to him before a loving tail wrapped around her as he nuzzled her feathers.
Unfortunately for those two, unlike Xio and Vi, their species couldn't mate. Though Roxel kept bugging his fiance to draw what their babies would look like.
But stranger things can happen. Like two animals of the same species conceiving something that was very different...
On another world with regions of dragons, a soon to be mother and old female lovers, there was a town newly rebuilt and even though the sounds of thunder ran above their heads, it did not stop a woman from crying over them as she pushed and breathed hard. Her husband was on the other side of her spread legs before another sound filled the room. That one a crying baby. The bloody girl was wrapped in an old shirt quickly before a cleaned kitchen knife cut a cord attached to her and it was tired up quickly by crafty fingers.
He smiled as he wiped her down as a family friend wiped the mother's face down from her sweat as she caught her breath. Her own deep purple eyes widened in happiness when her daughter was placed in her arms and she smiled, looking down at her. However... her husband left the room as so did her mid-wife.
And when she looked down at the baby once more...she knew why. The little girl with wet little purple hair on her head had pointed ears.
The newborn was a blessing... and a curse.
She was Hatchel's new berserker...
The woman sighed softly but she held her soft smile. It was still her child...and she would love her forever. Her blouse came down and the baby started to feed as the woman ran her hand on the baby's head gently. "I will name you.... Delinda."The End.....?
