SHUKUFUKU NO CAMPANELLA: HAPPY EVER AFTER
Prologue

One month, three weeks ago. It was on this day that Leicester Maycraft asked his longtime friend and love of his life, Carina Verritti, the biggest thing he has ever asked.

[Music: Sonic 2006: In the Forest]

It's currently nighttime and Leicester knows the path that Carina takes from her parents' mansion. At the fountains in Ert'Aria's square, he finds Carina in her normal outfit and approaches her.

Carina: Leicester, what are you doing here? (Blushing) Could you not wait for me to get back?

Leicester takes Lady Carina's hand in much the same way he did in Episode 1 of the anime.

Leicester: Carina, I've known you most of my life and I always cared for you as a friend. I always knew you had a crush on me, but I was unsure how to respond. That is, until six months ago. Since then, you've been one of the two most important things in my life. I love you with all my heart, and I want you to be happy.

Carina: Leicester, are you telling me that you…

Leicester, wanting to ask Carina the most important question he's ever asked in his life, gets down on one knee and presents the ring he has to her.

Leicester: Carina Verritti, will you marry me?

Upon seeing that Leicester, the boy she always had a crush on and just several months ago confessed his love to her in the very spot they're now standing, is proposing to her, Carina can only feel one thing, elation, and knows how to respond.

Carina: Yes, Leicester. A thousand times yes. I will marry you.

Leicester takes the ring and slides it on the Jewel of Ert'Aria's finger on her left hand. Carina's eyes become filled with tears of joy as she and Leicester are now engaged. They both embrace and share a deep kiss in front of the central fountain.

[In the Forest ends]

Chapter 1: Preparations for the Big Day

It's currently morning, and Leicester is still asleep in his bed as morning light comes in through the window. Carina, already dressed in her normal outfit, opens the door to his room and goes up to him. She moves her head in and kisses him on the lips. Leicester's eyes open to see his lovely fiancée looking down at him.

Carina: Morning, my love.

Leicester: Morning, Carina.

Leicester gets out of bed, wraps his arms around Lady Carina, and kisses her on the lips. As usual, she blushes at his kiss. They've been dating for almost eight months, and they're more in love than ever since in just a week, the two of them are getting married.

As Leicester breaks the kiss, he and Carina look at each other lovingly.

Carina: In just one week…

Leicester: We're going to be married.

The couple thinks about how everyone responded to Leicester and Carina's engagement. Minette, the automata girl created by Mizeh Altworth and proclaimed as Leicester's daughter, was very happy to hear her father was getting married.

Minette (Flashback): (Happily) Papa, you and Carina are getting married?

Minette, tears of joy filling her eyes, went straight up to Leicester and Carina and gave them a big hug.

Minette (Flashback): (Crying happily) I'm so happy for you and Carina. We're all going to finally be a family.

Leicester's parents, Nagan and Shelley Maycraft, were thrilled to hear the news. Shelley was very excited towards Lady Carina.

Nagan (Flashback): Leicester, I'm so proud of you.

Shelley (Flashback): Carina, dear. I can't believe you're marrying my son.

Shelley went up to Carina and hugged her quite closely. In fact, so close that Carina's breasts were pushed up against Shelley's. This ended up creeping Carina out.

Shelley (Flashback): You're going to make him very happy. I just know it.

Carina (Flashback): (Creeped out) Please let me go, Shelley!

Leicester (Flashback): Mom, please move away from Carina!

Shelley broke the hug and Leicester went up to comfort his fiancée. He hopes that his mother won't be like that towards Carina in the future. Being in her fiancé's arms, Carina already went back to feeling happy.

Carina (Flashback): I love you, Leicester.

Leicester (Flashback): And I love you, Carina.

The two ended up sharing a kiss.

When it came to Carina's parents, Fabious and Fiore Verritti, the former being the Duke of Ert'Aria, they were both quite happy to hear the news as well.

Fiore (Flashback): You're getting married?

Fabious (Flashback): That's wonderful!

The Duke ended up going up to Leicester and gave him a big hug. While not creeped out, Leicester was feeling as uncomfortable as when his mother hugged Carina.

Fabious (Flashback): I just know you're going to make Carina the happiest girl in the world!

Leicester (Flashback): (Uncomfortable) Thanks, but can you please let me go?

Fabious (Flashback): Oh, sorry.

Fabious gently let go of his daughter's fiancé.

Carina (Flashback): Dad, be a little more careful next time.

Fabious (Flashback): I'll try to remember.

Fiore (Flashback): (To Leicester and Carina) Have you two planned the wedding yet?

Leicester (Flashback): Well, we…

Fabious (Flashback): Leave it to your mother and I! We'll plan for you the greatest wedding that Ert'Aria has ever had!

Carina (Flashback): Dad, you don't have to…

Fabious (Flashback): Of course we do! I want you and Leicester to have a wonderful wedding, one that everyone will remember!

It turned out to be quite apparent that the wedding plans would be left to the Duke and Duchess of Ert'Aria. In fact, they're still planning the occasion.

Other friends like Sacred Knight Chelsea Acrot and puppeteer Agnes Boulange were excited to hear about Leicester and Carina's engagement. Chelsea was amazed when she saw the ring on Carina's finger and already knew what it meant.

Chelsea (Flashback): You're getting married?

Carina (Flashback): Yes, isn't it wonderful?

Leicester put his right arm around Carina's back and gently grabbed his fiancée's right side, causing her to giggle happily.

Leicester (Flashback): (Looking at Carina) It's very wonderful, especially for us.

Leicester kissed the cheek of the Jewel of Ert'Aria, causing her to blush and giggle with her eyes closed. The two of them couldn't help but smile. When Carina and Leicester went to see Agnes to tell her the news, she was also surprised.

Agnes (Flashback): Leicester, you and Carina are engaged?

Leicester (Flashback): Yes, we are.

Carina (Flashback): We hope you can come to the wedding.

Agnes (Flashback): Of course I'll be there.

Agnes smiled happily at the news that Leicester and Carina were getting married. Two more that heard the news were the Tortilla Sisters, Salsa and Ritos. However, they found out by listening to the conversations the engaged couple has with Chelsea and Agnes. Shortly after having talked to Agnes, Carina and Leicester were approached by the twins and their stone mecha, Golem.

Ritos (Flashback): I've heard you two are getting married soon.

Carina (Flashback): Yes. We're both very happy.

Salsa (Flashback): Well, even though I'd make a much better bride than you, I wish you the best of luck with Leicester.

Carina (Flashback): (Shocked) A much better bride than me?!

Leicester (Flashback): Salsa, I thought that you were over wanting to have me.

Salsa (Flashback): Well I am. But when I get married, I'll look more beautiful than the Jewel of Ert'Aria.

Ritos (Flashback): (To Salsa) If you get married, that is.

Salsa (Flashback): (Angrily) What's that supposed to mean?!

Leicester (Flashback): Carina, I think we should leave these two alone.

Carina (Flashback): (To the twins) We'd still like it if you came to the wedding.

Ritos (Flashback): We'll be there.

The flashbacks Carina and Leicester are having finally come to an end. The couple decides to head into Minette's room, where she is already in her normal outfit and is happy to not only see her father, but also her mother-to-be.

Minette: Papa! Carina! Morning!

Minette runs up to both of them and gives her father a hug.

Leicester: Happy to see you too.

Minette then goes to Carina and gives her a hug as well.

Carina: You're so sweet, Minette.

With both of Minette's hugs done, she along with Carina and Leicester head to the dining room, where Nina Lindberg, Oasis' maid, has breakfast prepared for everyone.

Nina: Morning, Leicester, morning, Lady Carina, morning, Minette.

Carina: Morning to you, too, Nina.

Minette: What do have for us to eat today?

Leicester: (Looking at the food) It looks great, Nina.

Leicester, Carina, and Minette all sit down to eat the food Nina has made. Later, the finish eating and are ready to head out for the day.

Nina: So where are all of you headed today?

Leicester: I'm going to meet Nick at the cathedral and see how things for the wedding are going.

Carina: Well I'm going to me parents' mansion to try out my wedding dress.

Minette: I'm going with Carina to see her dress.

Carina: Chelsea and Agnes are going to be there, too. (To Nina) Nina, how about you come and see the dress, too?

Nina: I don't know.

Minette: Come on, Nina. It'll be fun.

Leicester: I can't wait to see you in your dress, too.

Carina: Sorry, Leicester. You're not allowed to see me in my dress until the day of the wedding.

Leicester: Oh, right. I forgot.

Leicester knows that Lady Carina likes to go with tradition when it comes to the wedding, and part of that tradition is that the groom can't see the bride in her dress before the wedding, or else it will bring bad luck. Leicester wants to uphold that tradition.

Carina: Well, we should get going.

Nina: Okay, Carina. I'll come with you and Minette.

Minette: Yay! Nina's coming with us!

Carina, Minette, and Nina head out of the Oasis house to head to the Verritti mansion to see Carina's wedding dress. After they leave, Leicester leaves to go to the cathedral and see how the preparations for the wedding are proceeding.

[Music: Sonic Unleashed: Apotos Hub Day]

In a room inside the Duke's mansion, Carina is wearing a beautiful white wedding dress that consists of a large skirt, long detached sleeves, and a white veil going behind her peach blonde hair. She also has on a necklace of white flower-like charms along with her treasured Rainbow Crystite necklace. Also within the room are Minette, Agnes, Nina, and Fiore. Although Chelsea is also supposed to be here, she must have apparently gotten lost along the way.

Carina can't help but look at herself in the mirror, knowing that in just a week, she'll be marrying Leicester. The other females in the room are also admiring her dress.

Minette: Carina, you look beautiful.

Nina: I've never seen you look so wonderful.

Agnes: That dress really suits you.

Fiore: I can't believe my daughter's getting married.

Lady Carina blushes at the compliments given to her as she faces her friends, mother, and daughter-to-be. While her parents are planning the wedding, Carina has taken it upon herself and Leicester to decide the roles in the wedding.

Agnes: Where's Chelsea? Figures your maid of honor should be here to see your dress. Maybe I should be maid of honor instead.

Carina: Agnes, I already decided on Chelsea for maid of honor because I owe it to her. Besides, you and Nina will make great bridesmaids.

Minette: And Papa told me I could be the flower girl.

Unexpectedly, Shelley has come to the mansion and enters the room, apparently wanting to see her future daughter-in-law in her wedding dress.

Fiore: Shelley, what are you doing here?

Shelley: Well, I figured that since Nagan and Fabious are at the cathedral putting the wedding together, I should come check up on you young ladies.

Shelley goes up to behind Carina and puts her arms around her just below her breasts. It almost looks like Shelley is going to jiggle Carina's breasts.

Carina: (Creeped out) Shelley, what are you doing?!

Shelley: You're marrying my son. I figured I should learn more about you.

Carina: (Pouty face) Let go of me!

Minette: Grandma, Carina's feeling scared.

Carina: (Pouty face) Shelley is still grabbing me!

Fiore: Shelley, let go of my daughter.

Shelley: But Carina has such soft skin.

Fiore: (A bit angrily) Just let her go.

Shelley finally lets go of Carina, who crosses her arms right below her breasts. If Leicester was here, he would've told his mother to stop trying to fondle Carina right away. Why is it that some females are inappropriate towards other females?

Carina: Shelley, you know how much I hate it when you do that to me.

Agnes: Carina, I hope this doesn't ruin showing off your dress.

Carina: (Calm once again) It doesn't. I'm all right. I think in a little while, I'm going back to the Oasis house and try on this dress in private.

Shelley, changing the subject, asks Minette about what she had just called her.

Shelley: Grandma, Minette? I still remember when you called me Mama.

Minette: I actually figured out that since you're Papa's Mama, you're actually my grandma.

Agnes: That's true, you know.

Fiore: (Closed-eye expression) You know, Minette. Once your father and Carina are married, I'll be your grandma, too.

Minette: You will? Will that mean the Duke will be my grandpa?

Fiore: Of course he will.

Finally, Chelsea is seen coming into the room to check out Carina's wedding dress. She's a bit embarrassed about having gotten lost.

Chelsea: Sorry I'm late, everyone.

Carina: It's okay, Chelsea. (Happy expression) I'm just glad you got here at all.

Chelsea: (Seeing Carina's dress) Carina, that's a very beautiful dress you have on. Leicester is a very lucky guy to be marrying you.

Carina: You mean it?

Chelsea: Of course I do. What are maids of honor for?

Chelsea goes up to Carina and gives her a hug. Carina ends up hugging back while the hug occurs, knowing that she made the perfect choice for her maid of honor. The two girls eventually break the hug.

Agnes: Carina, if I may ask. What if Chelsea gets lost on the day of the wedding?

Carina: How about this. (To Shelley) Shelley, I hope it wouldn't be too much trouble to guide Chelsea to the cathedral on my wedding day.

Shelley: Since you're marrying my son, of course I can.

Chelsea: Since this wedding is so important to you, Carina, I accept.

Minette: Carina, you're going to become my Mama in a week.

Carina: (Closed-eye expression) I know. I'm very excited about it. (To Minette) Minette, are you ready to head back home?

Minette: I am. Can I tell Papa about your wedding dress?

Agnes: Minette, Leicester can't know about the dress at all until the day of the wedding.

Minette: Sorry.

Shelley: Carina, can I see you for a bit? Don't worry. It's about your honeymoon.

Carina and Shelley head to a corner of the room so that Shelley can tell Carina what ideas she has for the honeymoon.

Shelley: You know that beach house Nagan and I have?

Carina: You mean the one at Resort Tropicale?

Shelley: That very same one. We figured it would be perfect for you and Leicester to spend your honeymoon at. It's a bit secluded, so it's perfect for you two to be alone.

Carina: If you don't mind, I want to surprise Leicester, so can you keep it a secret from him?

Shelley: He'd like it more if you surprised him. Of course I will.

After Carina and Shelley have finished talking about the plans for the honeymoon, Carina goes to Minette and the two say goodbye to everyone else.

Carina: Bye, everyone. I'll see you later.

Minette: Bye, Agnes, bye, Chelsea, bye, Nina, bye, Lady Fiore, bye, Grandma.

[Music: Sonic 2006: Soleanna Castle Town]

Meanwhile, at the cathedral, a bunch of people are working to get everything ready for the wedding. Although there is still a week before Leicester and Carina are to get married, Fabious wants things to be ready in advance. White-color curtains and drapes are being set along the windows and other areas, such as the ceiling, tables are being set up and decorated with such things as flower arrangements, and the altar is being decorated for the special occasion, among many other things. Leicester is a bit amazed at just how grand the wedding is going to be.

Leicester: I never thought our wedding would be this huge.

Leicester's father, Nagan, comes up to him to explain how things are going.

Nagan: Well, Fabious wants the wedding to be extravagant. He told me that he wants it to be the biggest one all of Ert'Aria has ever had.

Leicester: I think Carina would want a wedding this big.

It's at this point that Nick La'Juck comes up to Leicester, a bit shocked at the projected size of the intended wedding.

Nick: If I didn't know any better, the Duke wants the whole city to attend your wedding. Just how is he going to pay for all this?

Leicester: I don't think he cares about the cost. He wants me and Carina to be happy. Carina…

Leicester starts to daydream a little about his fiancée. In his mine, he can see her laughing very happily with her eyes closed. It's amazing that's he's going to marry the Jewel of Ert'Aria soon. He loves Carina very much, and her happiness comes first.

Nagan: Leicester, are you all right?

Leicester: (Coming back to reality) Sorry, Dad. I was thinking about Carina again.

Nagan: About her. About you getting married.

Leicester: What, Dad?

Nagan: What I need for you to remember is that a man puts his wife first before himself. Are you willing to do that for Carina?

Leicester thinks about what his father had just told him. He knows it's common knowledge that a wife wants to be treated like a queen, and Carina is no different. He has already promised to love her forever, and he cares for her very deeply. In fact, Leicester considers Carina's life more important than his own, and he would do anything to protect her if needed. The answer is easy. Leicester is able to put Carina before himself.

Leicester: Of course I am.

After Leicester's conversation with his father, Fabious comes up to him to ask him what he thinks about how he's been planning the wedding.

Fabious: There you are, Leicester! What do you think? I'm going all out to make sure you and Carina have the greatest wedding ever.

Leicester: It's great, Fabious. I know Carina will love it.

Fabious: I do, too. All I care about is her happiness.

Leicester: Same with me. My dad even told me that it's important that I put Carina before myself. I consider her needs more important than mine.

Fabious: Then I know you'll going to make her happy.

As Leicester and the Duke of Ert'Aria finish their conversation, Nick comes up to Leicester on his role in the wedding.

Nick: I can't believe that you chose me to be your best man.

Leicester: Well, you are a member of Oasis.

Nick: Who knows, maybe I'll meet some pretty girl at the wedding.

Leicester: Well that I'm not so sure.

Leicester, having finished checking out the proceedings for his and Lady Carina's wedding, goes to his father and Fabious that he's leaving for the day.

Leicester: Dad, Fabious, I'm heading back home right now. Carina and Minette should be back.

Nagan: Okay then. Take care.

Fabious: Make sure to tell Carina how big the wedding's going to be.

Leicester: I will.

[Soleanna Castle Town ends]

Meanwhile, back the Oasis house, Carina, still wearing her wedding dress, is in her bedroom standing in front of a life-size mirror. She happens to be talking to herself, practicing for when she and Leicester are married.

Carina: (To the mirror) Hello, my name is Carina Maycraft. This is my husband Leicester and our daughter Minette. We welcome you to Oasis.

Carina is very happy that she's only a week away from marrying her childhood friend, crush, and love of her life, Leicester. The door starts to open, with Leicester about to come in.

Leicester: Carina, may I come in?

Carina, knowing that she's still in her wedding dress, screams due to the fact that he can't see her in it until the day of the wedding. She quickly ducks behind her bed.

Carina: LEICESTER, DON'T COME IN HERE!!

Leicester: Why not?

Carina: I'M IN MY WEDDING DRESS!! YOU HAVE TO LEAVE NOW!!

Leicester: You are? I'm so sorry, Carina.

Carina: PLEASE GO NOW, OR YOU'LL GIVE US BAD LUCK!!

Leicester: Sorry, Carina! Sorry!

Leicester quickly closes the door as per Carina's request. He didn't see her at all wearing her dress, so the tradition is safe. Leicester feels a bit awkward for almost having walked in on his bride-to-be in her wedding dress.

Leicester goes into the dining room, where he finds Minette with Miriam. As it turns out, Minette has just asked her best friend for a role in the wedding.

Minette: Papa, I've asked Miriam if she could have a role in your wedding! Can she?!

Leicester: Of course she can. (To Miriam) Miriam, do you want to be the ring bearer?

Miriam: The ring bearer? Okay.

Leicester: If you don't mind, I'm going to check on Carina.

Leicester goes back to outside Carina's bedroom to see if it's okay for him to see her. Carina comes out of her room in her normal outfit.

Carina: Leicester, I'm sorry for freaking out earlier. I just didn't want you…

Leicester: For me to see you in your wedding dress. It's okay. I'm sorry I almost walked in on you wearing it.

Carina: Leicester, I love you.

Leicester: I love you, too.

Leicester goes up to his fiancée and wraps his arms around her. The two of them then share a kiss, so happy they they're getting married soon.

[Music: Sonic 2006: The Black Shadow]

However, in some place unknown, a mysterious figure has discovered something that he's been searching for. Having found an altar, he takes an object from it, a teal-color medium size crystal, shaped differently than a crystite.

??: I found it. The Teal Prismati Relic. Now all I need are the remaining four.

[The Black Shadow ends]

Author Notes
Believe it or not, I've already started my second Shukufuku no Campanella fanfic. It picks up almost two months from where the previous story left off and has Leicester Maycraft and Carina Verritti planning to get married.

Now about the previous fic. The thing is that the previous fic was intentionally within the PG-range with at times going into the PG-13 range (kind of unusual given the nature of the visual novel and anime).

This fanfic will be in the PG-13 range, so while still being tame, there will be some certain kinds of scenes that weren't in the first. Still don't be surprised if some of the events have to be left to your imagination.

Also, I decided to make things interesting and add in some music tracks that suit some of the scenes. In case you want to hear the music themes used in the prologue and this chapter. All the music tracks that are used in this fanfic are copyright to their original owners and sources and are not mine in any way.

Chapter 2: The Day Before

[Music: Sonic Unleashed: Spagonia Hub Day]

It's now the day before Leicester and Carina's wedding, and the couple is heading to the Verritti Mansion, Carina holding onto Leicester's left arm. Along with them are Minette, Chelsea, Agnes, Nick, Nina, and Miriam. The occasion for this day is the rehearsal dinner. Everyone is wearing the formal outfits they wore to the party six months ago.

Carina: (Happily) Leicester, can you believe that we're getting married tomorrow?

Leicester: (Looking at Carina) Believe it? I know we are.

Leicester gives a fiancée a kiss on the cheek, causing her to blush and giggle.

Agnes: Carina, do you want to have a bachelorettte party tonight?

Carina: (To Agnes) A bachelorette party? (To Leicester) Leicester, sweetheart, do you mind the other girls and I have one tonight? We'll keep it us girls only.

Leicester: Carina, of course you can.

Carina: You can have a bachelor party yourself, just as long as you keep it guys only.

Leicester: Well, I'm not sure if I'm going to have one.

Nick: You're not?! Leicester, today is your last day before you get married! You got to have one!

Leicester: I just don't want to disappoint Carina.

Nick: Well I'm giving you one whether you like it or not.

Leicester: Please, Nick, you don't have to.

Minette: (To Carina) A bachelorette party? Can I come, too?

Carina: Of course you can, Minette.

Upon reaching the mansion, everyone is greeted by Fabious, Fiore, Nagan, and Shelley, who are also in their formal outfits. All of them are happy to see the main couple.

Fabious: Welcome, everyone!

Fiore: Glad you could make it.

Nagan: Leicester, you and Carina look wonderful.

Shelley: Especially you, Carina.

Carina: (Nervously) Thanks, Shelley.

[Spagonia Hub Day ends]

A little later, everyone is inside the mansion, where everything for the rehearsal dinner is ready. A large table already has a bunch of different foods on it; meat, noodles, vegetables, and salad. Carina and Leicester are sitting in the middle of one of the long sides of the table, with Chelsea, Agnes, and Nina in hat order to the left of Carina, and Nick, Minette, and Miriam in that order to the right of Leicester. On the other side of the table are Salsa and Ritos, who have been chosen to be guests at the wedding, in the middle, and the remaining seats on that side are occupied by six Sacred Knights, two of them females ones we've seen before. At the front end of the table are Fabious and Fiore and on the opposite end are Nagan and Shelley.

Fabious: I'd like to thank you all for coming here, and I'd like to propose a toast to the bride and groom to be, mine and Fiore's daughter, Carina, and Nagan and Shelley's son, Leicester! Their wedding will truly unite the Verritti and Maycraft families! Everyone, to Leicester and Carina!

Everyone (except Leicester and Carina): To Leicester and Carina!

Everyone holds up their glasses during the toast, and Leicester and Carina can't help but smile. After the toast, everyone starts to eat the food in front of him or her.

Carina: (To Chelsea) Chelsea, I've heard that in addition to being my maid of honor, you're also leading security detail during the wedding.

Chelsea: Yes. It's part of the promotion your father gave me.

About a month ago, Chelsea was promoted within the Sacred Knights by the Duke himself. The Sacred Knights will be providing security during the wedding, and Chelsea's supposed to oversee them.

Agnes: Is my maitresse coming to the wedding?

Nagan: I've gotten in touch with your mother, Agnes, and she says she'll be there.

Minette: (To Miriam) Miriam, maybe Aberdeen and Avril will come, too.

Miriam: I hope they do. I haven't seen them in a while.

Salsa: What about Golem? Can Golem come to the wedding?

Ritos: I think Golem will keep guard outside.

Agnes: By the way, Carina. Where are you and Leicester going on your honeymoon?

Leicester: Yeah, Carina. You haven't told me yet.

Carina: (Winking) It's a surprise, my love. You're going to love it.

Shelley: (About Carina) I know she will.

Leicester already can tell that wherever he and his fiancée are spending their honeymoon, it's his mother's idea. He'll just have to wait until after the wedding to find out.

Fiore: Wherever you two are headed, I hope you have a good time.

Minette: (To Leicester and Carina) Papa, Carina. Can I come with you on your honeymoon?

Nick: I think a honeymoon's supposed to only be for the couple.

Nina: Yeah. Your father and Carina will want some time to themselves.

Fabious: How about this, Minette. While your father and Carina on their honeymoon, why don't you come stay with me here?

Carina: (Closed-eye expression) That's a great idea.

Leicester: This place is very big. You'll have a lot to see while you're here.

Fiore: We'd be glad to have you stay with us, Minette.

[Music: Sonic Unleashed: Spagonia Hub Night]

The events pertaining to the rehearsal dinner have passed and it's now sunset as everyone is back in their normal outfits and are outside the mansion. Carina and Leicester are parting ways until tomorrow when they'll meet at the altar in the cathedral, where they'll be married.

Leicester: So you're going to have your bachelorette party here?

Carina: Yes. I hope that's okay.

Leicester: And this also means that we won't see each other again until tomorrow.

Carina: When we'll be married.

Carina puts her arms behind her fiancé's head as he puts his arms behind her back. Looking at each other lovingly, they share a deep kiss with blushing a bit. Since Carina's shorter than Leicester due to her being around a year younger than him, it can be difficult for them to both be at eye level and share a kiss sometimes. They eventually slowly break the kiss.

Carina: Goodbye, my love.

Leicester: Goodbye, my sweet.

Carina: I love you.

Leicester: I love you more.

The couple gently lets go of one another as Leicester starts back to the Oasis house. Both of them wave at each other as the distance between them increases. Nick and Nagan head back with Leicester while the females are going to stay at the mansion for the bachelorette party.

[Spagonia Hub Night ends]

Later on, night has begun, and Carina, Minette, Chelsea, Agnes, Nina, Miriam, Salsa, Ritos, and even Shelley are all within a room with a lot of fancy beds. Each girl is in her sleepwear, making the bachelorette party seem more like a girls' pajama party. Carina isn't wearing the hat that goes with her outfit and Shelley's wearing some magenta-color sexy lingerie that includes a see-through attachment starting down from her bra, allowing her stomach and panties to be seen. Quite the sight for the mother of who Carina's marrying tomorrow.

Chelsea: So what exactly are we going to do tonight?

Agnes: Yeah? It's Carina's last night before she marries Leicester.

Shelley goes over to Carina and puts her hands on her shoulders from behind.

Shelley: Carina, since you're marrying my son tomorrow, what do you think we should do?

Carina: I don't know.

Shelley: How about this then. We all reveal crazy things we've been in or done. What is said here stays here.

Carina: Crazy things we've done?

Agnes: I have one. (To Carina) Carina, I once put on your dress and pretended I was you. I even pretended I was you kissing Leicester.

Carina: (Shocked) You put on my dress?!

Nina: Are you serious?

Minette: Did you really do that, Agnes?

Agnes: Well, I was bored that day and I guess I was also snooping around in your room. You were out on a date with Leicester, so I decided to put on your outfit and pretend that bouquet of Rainbow Flowers was Leicester.

Shelley: Whoa. Pretty kinky, Agnes.

Carina: (To Shelley) Shelley!

Agnes: (To Carina) I put the outfit back where I found it. Well, I did after I went out and did a performance while wearing it. Some people thought it was you.

Carina: Agnes! Never enter my room again!

Chelsea: Well as long as we're on the topic. After the party we had for the Sacred Knights, when Leicester gave me a room to stay the night, I tried to come onto him.

Carina: (Shocked again) You tried to come onto MY Leicester?!

Chelsea: I'm sorry, Carina. I was drunk and wanted some company. All he did was help me into bed and then leave. He was a gentleman to me. He wouldn't even look at me.

Carina: (Calm) Oh. I guess he didn't want to hurt my feelings.

Chelsea: Yeah. I can tell how much he loves you. You're the one he wants to be with.

Ritos: Salsa has private fantasies about Leicester.

Carina: (Shocked once again) Private fantasies about Leicester?!!

Salsa: Ritos! I thought you said you wouldn't tell anyone!

Ritos: Well, anything that we say here stays here, remember?

Carina: (Calm again) Well, I actually have a situation myself to tell you.

Agnes: Oh do tell, Carina.

Carina: It was when we went to go find those Rainbow Flowers. Montecchia ran out of El energy while I was flying on it and Leicester caught me, but we ended up tangled in vines.

Minette: I remember that.

Carina: (Closed-eye expression) Well, I was on top on him and while we struggled to break free, it looked like something else.

Shelley: Wow, Carina. Tell us more about what happened.

Carina: Well, (Pointing to Chelsea and Minette) you two were there and saw everything. You thought that Leicester and I were… you know what mean.

Chelsea: Carina, it's not really a secret when the two of us know.

Agnes: (Curious) How did Leicester like that situation?

Carina: How did Leicester like it? (Blushes nervously) I never asked him about it.

Miriam: Wow, Carina. Your story is the most interesting.

Carina: Yeah. Leicester loves me very much. I hope what I said didn't sound perverted.

Nina: I don't think it sounded perverted.

Agnes: Carina, you win for wackiest situation any of us have had. Anyway, (Grabbing her collar while having sultry eyes) I have an idea for what we can do next.

Agnes starts to undo her shirt. At this point, we cut from the bachelorette party and leave what the girls are doing to themselves. Back at Oasis' house, Leicester's idea for a bachelor party is very lame compared to what Carina is doing for her party. It's just him and Nick with some food in front of them. Nothing more.

Nick: (Sarcastically) Some bachelor party.

Leicester: Well, I didn't know what exactly what we could do. Besides, it's only the two of us.

Nick: Well, who knows what the girls are doing with one another.

Leicester: Look. I never wanted to have a bachelor party at all. When you get married, you can have whatever kind of party you want.

Nick: Well, at least you could spice things up a bit.

Leicester, thinking about what Nick has just said to him, decides to bring up an incident that he and Carina once got into.

Leicester: Well, I could tell you what happened with Carina and I when we went to go find some Rainbow Flowers.

Nick: Exactly what happened?

Leicester: Well, Carina was flying on Montecchia…

Leicester starts to explain the situation that happened between him and Carina, the same one that Carina told the girls at her bachelorette party.

[Music: Sonic Adventure 2 Battle: 3 Black Noises, first part]

Meanwhile, somewhere unknown, the same shady figure from six days ago looks at four crystal objects that he's acquired. They are in these colors; orange, teal, indigo, and violet.

??: I have four of the Prismati Relics, and I know where to get the next one. It looks as though I'll pay a visit to the esteemed Mizeh Altworth.

Whatever this person is planning, who knows. For now, that is.

Author Notes
I've gotten chapter 2 of the fic ready. I deliberately cut away from the bachelorette party when Agnes starts undoing her clothes because I have standards when it comes to anime girls.

Chapter 3: You May Kiss the Bride

[Music: Pokémon Black/White: Nuvema Town]

It's now morning, the day that Leicester and Carina are getting married. Leicester is still asleep in his bed, but since Carina stayed the night at her parents' mansion since he can't see her until today when he's at the altar, she's not here to give him a good morning kiss. As the morning light penetrates the windows of Leicester's bedroom, Nina comes in to wake him up.

Nina: Leicester, wake up. It's your big day.

Leicester opens his eyes to see Oasis' maid looking at him.

Leicester: Nina, Morning.

Nina: Leicester, today's the day you're getting married.

Leicester: I know. I can't believe it's finally come.

At this point, Minette, dressed as the flower girl for the wedding, comes into the room and jumps onto the bed where her father is.

Minette: Morning, Papa.

Leicester: Morning, Minette.

Minette: Papa, you and Carina are getting married today. (Happy closed-eye expression) I'm so excited!

Nina: Minette, your father needs to get ready for the wedding. I need to get ready as well. (To Leicester) Leicester, I have breakfast all ready, but don't take too long.

Leicester: Thanks, Nina. I'll get ready after I eat if that's okay with you.

Leicester gets out of bed and heads into the dining room to eat. The food isn't much, but what's happening today is hundreds of times more important than a meal. Today, he's marrying Carina Verritti, the Jewel of Ert'Aria and his childhood friend. She had always had a crush on him, but one night eight months ago, he realized that he had similar feelings for her and confessed them to her. They fell in love instantly and became inseparable.

Now this day has finally come. The day when he'll be marrying Lady Carina. Having finished his meal, Leicester goes back into his room to get ready. He happens to be wearing a white tuxedo, standard for the groom.

Thoughts of himself and Carina start to go through his mind; when he took her hand, when they worked throughout the night to make Montecchia able to talk, Carina talking to him during the party for the Sacred Knights, and when they flew on Montecchia together to confront Aberdeen and Avril and rescue Minette.

More images go through Leicester's mind; when he finally confessed his love to Carina, when he listened to her heartbeat, when she helped out at the maid café, when he put the Rainbow Crystite Necklace around her neck, when he kissed her on the beach, when they danced together at her parents' anniversary party, and finally, when he proposed to her.

And now, in just a couple hours, Carina will become his wife. Leicester now starts to think about when he and Carina were children, when he first made Montecchia for her. Seeing the expression on little Carina's face made the younger version of him smile.

Carina (Flashback): I promise to always take care of Montecchia. I'll never let it out of my sight.

After the flashback ends, Leicester now has a promise, no a vow, to make to Carina.

Leicester: I promise to always take care of you, Carina. I'll never let you out of my sight.

Having finished thinking about the girl he's going to marry, Leicester heads out of his room, then along with Nina and Minette, the Oasis house.

[Nuvema Town ends]

Later, outside the cathedral, the Tortilla Sisters, who are to be attending the wedding and are wearing the same dresses they wore to the rehearsal dinner, have set up a stand where they plan to auction off wedding photos. Behind the two is Golem.

Salsa: Okay, everyone! We're going to start by auctioning off these wonderful pictures of the bride! Let the bids start off at 15!

Ritos: I don't think this is such a good idea.

Salsa: What do you mean?

Ritos: You're intruding on the privacy of Carina and Leicester.

Salsa: What privacy? Everyone in Ert'Aria's here.

Ritos: I mean that it's dishonest to sell photos of the wedding for money.

Salsa: Dishonest?

Ritos: Yeah. How do you think the couple would react to this?

Salsa, realizing that her sister's made a good point about selling wedding pictures for money, decides she no longer wants to do so.

Salsa: You're right. I don't want to sell wedding photos anymore.

Ritos: (To the customers) All right! If you act now, I'll also throw in these pictures of the bridesmaids for an extra 10 each!

Salsa: (Shocked) What? I thought you said it was dishonest to sell such pictures!

Ritos: Well I sold some pictures of the bride and maid of honor before you stated that you no longer want any part in the auction.

Salsa: (Yelling) WHAT?!! YOU TRICKED ME!!

Inside the cathedral, Carina, wearing her wedding dress, is in a room where a life-size mirror stands in front of her. Also in the room are her parents, Chelsea, and Agnes, all in outfits appropriate for guests and roles in the wedding. Carina is looking at herself in the mirror, thinking about the fact that soon, she'll be marrying Leicester Maycraft, the boy she always had a crush on and eight months ago, became the love of her life. She had always dreamed if this day would come, and now it's reality.

Agnes: I still can't believe you're marrying Leicester, Carina.

Chelsea: I never thought I'd see you as a bride.

Carina turns herself to face her two friends and both her parents.

Carina: Thanks, you two. To tell you the truth, I'm a bit nervous about marrying Leicester. I know I've always wanted to. It's just pre-wedding jitters.

Fabious: Leicester will make a great husband for you.

Fiore: We're very happy for both of you.

Agnes: Leicester's probably a bit nervous about marrying you, too.

Carina: You think?

Fiore: Don't worry. It's natural to be nervous before your wedding.

Chelsea: If I was getting married, I'd be nervous, too.

Fabious: Carina, you have nothing to worry about. I've always wanted to walk you down the aisle. You won't just be marrying Leicester, you'll also become Minette's mother.

Upon hearing her father's statement, Carina starts to think about Minette, the automata girl that they found inside the cathedral tower. Upon waking up, she saw Leicester and proclaimed him to be her father. Over the recent months, Minette started to see Carina as her mother, including once saying that she loves her. Carina won't just be making Leicester happy, she'll also make Minette happy, too.

Carina: You're right. Maybe that's why I'm a little nervous. I won't just be marrying Leicester, I'll also become a mother.

Agnes: I can just tell Leicester's going to love you.

Chelsea: He always has.

Carina: Thank you, everyone.

While Carina's getting ready to get married, so is Leicester in a separate room. Within it are his parents, Minette, and Nick. All are dressed in formal wear suited for the wedding.

Shelley: I can't believe you're finally getting married.

Nagan: Lady Carina's was always who I thought you'd marry.

Minette: Papa, are you nervous?

Leicester: Maybe a little. After all, Carina and I are getting married today.

Nick: I never thought I'd see you like this.

Shelley: Carina's very well-endowed. You'll have a lot of fun with her.

Leicester: Mom, don't say that about Carina.

Nick: By the way, Leicester. Where are you two going for your honeymoon?

Shelley: Oh it's a surprise. (To Leicester) You're going to love it.

Leicester: If you have any part in this, I know I'm going to be surprised.

Minette: I wonder where you and Carina are going, Papa.

Nagan: We should all get ready at the altar. The wedding's about to start.

Leicester: Yes, we should.

Leicester starts to think about Carina once more. He always cared for her as a friend and it was always apparent that he had certain feelings for her. In fact, he can remember when he enabled Montecchia to talk, it said that he had such feelings for her. Only eight months ago, Leicester decided to finally act on those feelings and tell Carina he loves her. Now their love has flourished and the two of them are getting married, and they've never been happier.

A little later, everyone is in the central room of the cathedral, where hundreds upon hundreds of guests are all seated. Leicester has taken his place at the altar, with Nick, his best man, to the right of him. To the left of the space where Carina will be standing is Chelsea, her maid of honor, followed by Agnes and Nina, her bridesmaids. At the front of the group of guests is Shelley on Leicester's side and Fiore on Carina's side. Fiore is holding Montecchia since Carina will be too busy getting married. Nagan has taken his place at the podium, since he'll be the one performing the ceremony for the happy couple.

Leicester looks out to the audience, and near the front happens to be Mizeh Altworth, along with Aberdeen and Avril. Also among the guests are the meat shop owner and the old lady that Agnes made friends with. Towards the sides of the room happen to be every Sacred Knight as well as Salsa and Ritos, who have even brought Golem inside. Floating up in the air in the grand room happens to be Garnet, who also couldn't resist the wedding. Leicester is amazed at all the people that have showed up to the most important day of his life.

Leicester: (To himself) Everyone's here. Even Aberdeen and Avril made it. I can't believe that…

[Music: Sonic 2006: My Destiny (Instrumental)]

It's at this point that Minette comes down the aisle, dropping flowers from the basket that's she's carrying with her. Along with her is Miriam, the ring bearer. Both of them eventually make it to the altar where everyone is and stand to the right of Nick.

Next, a wonderful sight occurs, as Carina, looking radiant in her wedding dress and holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers, is being walked down the aisle by the Duke of Ert'Aria. As the light from the windows bathes Carina, Leicester is amazed at how beautiful she looks, and everyone watches her approach the altar.

Upon reaching the altar, Fabious parts with his daughter and takes his place next to his wife. Carina and Leicester look at one another lovingly while taking each other's hands. Leicester can tell that Carina is glowing with happiness.

Nagan: We are gathered here today to join this couple in holy matrimony.

Leicester: (Mouthing words to Carina) I love you.

Carina: (Mouthing words to Leicester) And I love you.

Nagan continues his sermon about marriage.

Nagan: If anyone here objects to this holy union, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.

Of course, no one objects to the wedding.


Nagan: (Turns to Leicester) Leicester Maycraft, do you take Carina Verritti to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, to love, honor, cherish, and respect, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?

Leicester: I do.

Nagan: (Turns to Carina) Carina Verritti, do you take Leicester Maycraft to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, to love, honor, cherish, and respect, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?

Carina: (A light pink in her cheeks) I do.

Nagan: Does the best man and maid of honor have the rings?

Nick and Chelsea have taken the rings from the pillow that Miriam is holding. Nick gives his gold ring to Leicester, who gently slides it onto Carina's finger on her left hand. Chelsea then gives the gold ring she's holding to Carina, who slides it onto Leicester's finger on his left hand.

Nagan: Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.

Leicester lifts up Carina's veil and the two embrace and share a deep kiss, Carina holding the bouquet behind Leicester's back. As they gently break the kiss, Leicester can see that Carina is crying, but they're tears of happiness.

As of this moment, they are now Leicester and Carina Maycraft. Leicester looks into the eyes of the girl who was his childhood friend, who became his girlfriend, and is now his wife. Never in his life has he been happier, and he can tell that Carina feels the same bliss.

As the cathedral bells ring, the newly married couple looks out toward everyone in the audience, who cheer them on. An aura of happiness overcomes everyone at the altar, and also the parents of the couple are extremely happy.

Next, everyone is outside the cathedral as the doors open and Leicester and Carina walk out, everyone looking at them. Minette is throwing more flowers at the happy couple as they prepare to stop, Carina ready to throw the bouquet.

Carina faces away from everyone and throws the bouquet behind her, Minette, Chelsea, Agnes, Nina, Salsa, Ritos, Miriam, and even Avril all going for it. Suddenly, a burst of energy hits the bouquet, splitting it into several pieces. It turned out to have come from Montecchia, Fiore having somehow fired it.

All eight girls end up grabbing a piece of the bouquet. Nick and unexpectedly, Golem, also grab a part of the bouquet. Leicester and Carina look towards one another, elated, as Leicester picks his wife up princess style, her laughing happily, and she leans in and the two share a kiss.

[My Destiny (Instrumental) ends]

A bit later, everyone is at the wedding reception, which is located outside. Dozens of tables have been set up, as well a long, large table with a whole bunch of different foods; various kinds of meat, poultry, seafood, noodles, salads, and vegetables, among other foods like arrangements of shrimp cocktails and various desserts from sweets to brownies to ice cream and more. There's even fountains of punch, lemonade, soda, and ice water for everyone to enjoy. The Duke didn't spare any expense when it came to the food.

Located near the front of the reception area is a grand wedding cake, more than ten layers tall, decorated with all sorts of stuff, and topped with figures that have been made to look just like Leicester and Carina, both of them in their wedding outfits. The cake even has strawberry juice flowing from various areas of it, making it like a fountain.

This is where Leicester and Carina are headed, as they are to cut the cake. Upon reaching the cake, the newlywed Maycrafts grab a large cake knife meant to look like Montecchia and make a cut together into the cake itself. With the cake cut, everyone cheers.

After the cake has been cut, Leicester and Carina sit at the front most table in the area. Sitting with them is Minette. At the table to the left of them is Chelsea, Agnes, Nina, and Fiore, and in the one to the right of them is Nick, Miriam, Shelley, and Nagan. Mizeh Altworth, Aberdeen, Avril, and the Tortilla Sisters sit at two tables behind the main three.

With everyone seated, Fabious goes up to the podium that's located at the front of the area to congratulate the new married couple, which his daughter is one-half of.

Fabious: I'd like to be the first to congratulate the new couple! Leicester, I always thought of you like a son to me, and I'm proud to say that now you are a part of my family! You've made Carina happier than she's ever been in her life! A toast to Leicester Maycraft!

Everyone: To Leicester Maycraft!

Fabious: And to Carina Maycraft!

Everyone: To Carina Maycraft!

After Fabious leaves the podium. Others go up one a time to congratulate the new couple. Carina and Leicester listen to each speech given to them.

Shelley: Leicester, I'm proud to say that you've married the greatest girl in Ert'Aria! She's quite the catch, and I know she'll make you very happy!

Agnes: I know that Chelsea was supposed to speak before me, but something happened to her!

Chelsea has apparently gotten lost near the food table.

Agnes: Anyway, I'd like to congratulate Carina for marrying the most wonderful guy that I've ever known! Leicester, Carina deserves you more than any one of us!

Nina: Leicester, Carina, I've known both of you for a long time, and I knew that one day the two of you would end up together! Congratulations!

Chelsea finally reaches the podium and speaks to the new couple.

Chelsea: Leicester and Carina, I was amazed when you two told me you got together and I was even more amazed when two became engaged! Now here you two are, happier then you've ever been! May the best years of your lives be wonderful!

The Tortilla Sisters go up to the podium together to congratulate the married couple.

Salsa: Leicester, I've always had a thing for you, and I still…

Ritos: My sister would want to say that we hope the two of you remain this happy forever!

Salsa: I wasn't finished!

The last person to speak at the podium is Minette.

Minette: I'd like to congratulate not only Papa, but also Mama!

Minette points to Carina, indicating that the Jewel of Ert'Aria is now her mother. Lady Carina blushes at the fact that she now basically has a daughter.

The wedding reception now gets underway, as cake is passed out and everyone starts getting food from the food table. Leicester and Carina are busy being congratulated by a lot of the wedding guests. Several of them are ecstatic that Lady Carina has gotten married. At the table she's at, Agnes has gotten a lot of food, even wanting to share some of it with Chelsea. However, they also have both gotten salads, which are pretty big.

Agnes: Chelsea, you got to try these noodles! (Eating) They're amazing!

Chelsea: These salads are huge. I've barely made a dent in it and I'm already stuffed. I don't think I can finish it. For now, I just want to enjoy this lemonade.

Chelsea takes a sip of the lemonade, and starts swooning over it with hearts in her eyes. As it turns out, the lemonade being served is the best she's ever tasted.

Chelsea: (Swooned) This lemonade is amazing! Agnes, you have to try it!

Agnes takes a sip of the lemonade she has and ends up making the same face as Chelsea.

Agnes: This is the greatest lemonade in the world!

Tango (Agnes's automata cat): I wish I could try that lemonade.

At the Tortilla Sisters' table, Salsa has gotten herself a bunch of food. On her plate happens to be prime rib-like meat, a chicken leg, a lobster tail, some sushi, some noodles, curry, vegetables, soup, salad, and cake. Ritos is shocked at all the food her sister has gotten, who starts to dig into it happily.

Ritos: Salsa, remember what happened last time you ate this much?

Salsa: (Stuffing herself, words appearing) There's a ton of food at this wedding. I can't let it go to waste.

Ritos: Well, that food's for everybody, and there's like a thousand people here.

Salsa: (Stuffing herself, words appearing) Then they're still be a lot left for everyone.

Ritos: I'm going to have Golem carry you home again.

Sunflorazumarill:
Note: Due to post limitations, this chapter had to be split in two.

Leicester has just finished talking to the meat shop owner, who has decided to give him and Carina a bunch of different meats as a wedding present.

Carina: (Happily) There you are!

Leicester is greeted by his wife, who is carrying a plate with a delicious piece of cake on it. She takes a piece with her fork and proceeds to feed it to Leicester.

Carina: Say "Ahh"!

Leicester opens his mouth and receives the bite of cake.

Carina: How does it taste, my love?

Leicester: It tastes wonderful.

Leicester takes Carina into his arms and they share a kiss, the newly married Jewel of Ert'Aria trying not to drop her plate or fork. Carina can taste the cake still on her husband's lips. As they break the kiss, Leicester can see Carina smiling, blushing, and giggling.

Minette: Papa! Mama!

Both of them are greeted by Minette, who wants to give them both a hug. Leicester opens his arms to allow his daughter to jump into them, both of them smiling as he gives her a hug. Carina can't believe that Minette is now her daughter as well.

Minette: Mama, can I hug you, too?

Carina: Of course you can. You don't have to ask me.

Minette jumps into her mother's arms and hugs her tightly. However, Minette is inadvertently pushing up against Carina's breasts in the process, but neither of them minds.

Minette: Mama, I love you.

Carina: I love you, too.

Carina looks at Leicester, silently asking him if she can give Minette a kiss on the head. Leicester nods "Yes", and Lady Carina gives Minette a soft kiss on the head.

Leicester: Carina, you know you didn't have to ask me if you wanted you give Minette a kiss on the head. She's your daughter, too now.

Carina: I guess I've never known what it's like to be a mother. In fact, I love you both the same.

Carina goes up to Leicester and kisses him again. After doing so, Minette gently lets go of Carina. At this point, dance music starts, and Leicester asks his wife to take his hand.

Leicester: Carina, may I have this dance with you?

Carina: Of course you may.

At this point, a bunch of the guests start to dance in a giant open area. In addition to the newly married couple dancing, other couples include Nagan and Shelley, Fabious and Fiore, Nick and Nina, unexpectedly Agnes and Tango, and surprisingly the Tortilla Sisters and Golem.

Chelsea, however, doesn't have anyone to dance with and feels left out, that is, until someone asks her to dance with him. That someone is Aberdeen.

Aberdeen: (Holding out his hand) I think you need a dance partner.

Chelsea: I never took you for someone who dances.

Aberdeen: I'm not, but I think you shouldn't sit here all alone.

Chelsea takes Aberdeen's hand and the two of them head out onto the dance floor. A bit later during the dance, Fabious is dancing with Minette, who is now basically his granddaughter. On the edge of the dance area is Miriam, Avril, and Garnet.

Garnet: I'm not sure what it is about weddings that make people so happy.

Miriam: I think it's because it's such a beautiful sight to see two people make a pledge to be together forever.

Avril: You think? I never understood such things about love.

Back on the dance floor, Carina and Leicester are dancing so passionately. As the dance ends, Leicester takes the noble girl into his arms and the two share a deep kiss.

The reception proceeds, with such things occurring like Agnes putting on the biggest show she's ever done, with the bride and groom as special guests. Eventually, the reception has come to an end, and Carina and Leicester are heading off to their honeymoon. Minette, Chelsea, Agnes, Fabious, Fiore, Nagan, Shelley, and Mizeh Altworth all approach the newlyweds to say goodbye to them.

Leicester: I think Carina and I will be heading off to the honeymoon now.

Carina: (To Fabious) Dad, you really made this reception enjoyable.

Fabious: Nothing's too good for you, Carina. What makes me the happiest is you, and I know that you and Leicester will be very happy together.

Agnes: Carina, where are you and Leicester going for your honeymoon?

Carina: Oh, it's a surprise.

Leicester: Whatever it is, (to Carina) Carina hasn't told me a thing.

Minette: Papa, I hope you and Mama have fun together.

Leicester: Minette, will you have fun staying with your new grandma and grandpa?

Fabious: It'll be fun having her around.

Fiore: I still can't believe I'm already a grandmother.

Nagan: Shouldn't we get a wedding picture first?

Carina: Oh, right. (To Leicester) Leicester, honey, we have to get our picture taken.

Leicester: Right. I almost forgot.

Shelley: It needs to be of all of us.

Chelsea: All of us?

Carina: Yeah. None of this would have been possible without all of you here.

Nagan: Mizeh, what did you think of the wedding?

Mizeh: I think it was destiny that your son and Fabious's daughter would end up together.

Carina: You really mean that, Ms. Altworth?

Mizeh: Of course I do. Carina, Leicester, may the stars shine on both of you.

Leicester and Carina are amazed that Mizeh Altworth considers it destiny that the two of them ended up married. Before the happy couple is to leave for their honeymoon, a photo must be taken. In front of the cathedral, Carina and Leicester are standing together. On Carina's right are Chelsea, Agnes, Nina, Fiore, and Fabious. On Leicester's left are Nick, Minette, Miriam, Shelley, and Nagan. Salsa stands next to Agnes and Nina while Ritos stands next to Minette and Miriam. A photographer then takes a picture of everyone, which turns out perfect.

Now with everything pertaining to the wedding out of the way, Leicester and Carina get on top of Montecchia, ready to depart for their honeymoon. Everyone waves to them.

Minette: Bye, Papa! Bye, Mama!

Agnes: Goodbye, Leicester! Goodbye, Carina!

Chelsea: Have fun on your honeymoon!

Nick: You two take care now!

Salsa: Treat Leicester right, Carina!

Ritos: Don't listen to my sister!

Miriam: I hope you two have a great time!

Nina: I'll have everything ready for when you return!

Fabious: Have a wonderful time!

Fiore: We're happy for both of you!

Nagan: Be careful out there!

Shelley: Nagan and I left you our wedding present where you're going!

Carina: Wedding present?

Leicester: (To Carina) Where are we going, anyway?

Carina: (To Leicester) You'll see when we get there.

Leicester: I just wonder where you're going to take me.

Carina: (To everyone) Bye, everyone! Thanks for coming to our wedding!

Leicester: (To everyone) We hope you had a great time!

Carina: Monte, are you ready to take both of us to the ferry?

Leicester: The ferry?

Montecchia: Plotting route to ferry.

Montecchia starts hovering in the air, the newly married couple already on it, and then flies off to the ferry the staff mentioned. Everyone cheers the couple as they leave.

A little later, it's sunset, and Leicester and Carina have arrived at a dock where a small private ferry owned by the Duke sits. The newlyweds will be the only passengers aboard the ferry. After the two get on the ferry, it takes off onto the ocean, fading into the distance as it's headed for its destination. Later, at night, the ferry has reached Resort Tropicale, a small resort island.

After the ferry stops at a special dock near a fancy beach house, Leicester and Carina come out of the ferry. This place is familiar to both of them, as the house is owned by Leicester's parents and he himself has spent summer days throughout his life here. Carina has also come to this beach house a couple times with her parents. This is the place Carina wanted to surprise her new husband with.

Carina: Well, what do you think, my love?

Leicester: Resort Tropicale? I think my mom suggested this to you.

Carina: Yeah. She did.

Leicester: Well, mind if I carry you across the threshold?

Carina: (Blushing) Oh, you want to do that?

Leicester: Of course I want to. You're my bride after all.

Leicester picks up his wife princess style and carries her all the way to the beach house. He carries her inside and takes her all the way into the bedroom. Upon reaching the bed, Leicester gently places Lady Carina on it, who looks at her husband passionately.

Carina: You've made me the happiest girl in the world.

Leicester: And I the happiest guy in the world.

Carina: Leicester, you know that we'll be the only two here.

Leicester: Perfect for the two of us.

Carina: Leicester, since it's our wedding night, how about I treat you to something special?

Leicester: Something special?

Carina starts to undo her wedding dress. First she takes off the veil, followed by her fancy shoes, her stockings, the skirt, her sleeves, the flower necklace, and finally the top part. After she's finished undressing, Carina's wearing nothing but her bra and panties, and she stands up while looking at Leicester passionately. Leicester feels a bit awkward looking at Carina in only her lingerie, but he also remembers that the two of them are now married, and he can't help but look at his beautiful wife.

Leicester: Carina, you look sexy.

Carina: Thank you, my love.

Leicester, unable to resist Carina in her sexy underwear, goes up to her and takes her into his arms. He embraces her to the point where her breasts push up against his body. As the newlyweds look into each other's eyes, blushing deeply while doing so, they share a passionate and deep, long kiss.

As they break the kiss, Carina falls back onto the bed, pulling Leicester onto it with her. Leicester looks at the Rainbow Crystite necklace he made for the girl that is now his wife, still hanging on her neck. As Carina wraps her arms around her husband's neck while lying down, he decides to put his ear on her chest and start listening to her warm, soft, and soothing heartbeat, her breasts inadvertently being used as a pillow for his head.

"thu-thump", "thu-thump", "thu-thump", "thu-thump", "thu-thump"

Leicester: You have the most beautiful sounding heart. I could listen to it forever.

Leicester takes Carina's left hand, the hand where her wedding ring resides on her finger, and gently kisses it. Carina's chest slowly moves up and down, moving Leicester's head up and down with it as the noble lady blushes at the affection her husband shows her.

Carina: I love you very much, Leicester. I'll always love you, no matter what happens.

Leicester: And I'll always love you, no matter what happens.

Leicester can't help but listen to Carina's heart, its soft rhythm entering his ears.

"thu-thump", "thu-thump", "thu-thump", "thu-thump", "thu-thump"

Leicester decides to listen to Lady Carina's heartbeat some more. Eventually, he takes his head off her chest and they share another kiss. As they break the kiss, Leicester gently positions himself over Carina, putting his arms behind her back and she puts her arms behind his. Carina realizes that now that the two of them are married, they should do something that is just natural for married couples to do, especially during their wedding night.

Leicester: Carina...

Carina: Leicester...

Leicester: Carina...

Carina: Leicester...

Leicester: Carina...

Carina: (Blushing) Leicester, make me happy to be your wife.

What happens next with the newlyweds is apparent, but we immediately cut from the honeymoon to elsewhere.

[Music: Sonic Adventure DX: The Past, first part]

Outside Mizeh Altworth's lab, where Mizeh, Aberdeen, and Avril have returned, the mysterious figure from the previous night is attacking the latter two, who are trying to protect Mizeh from the shady person. However, he's faring quite well against them.

??: I won't tell you again. Get out of my way!

Aberdeen: Just what is it you want with the Prismati Relic?

??: That's none of your business. If you don't move, I'll be forced to kill you.

The shady figure manages to somehow turn one of his arms into a shadowy blade, which he plans on using against Aberdeen.

??: Since you won't comply, I'll just have to take it myself.

The mysterious man rushes towards Aberdeen, ready to slice him with his blade, but Avril manages to block the attack with one of her arms. However, while she's able to hold her own for a few moments, the man manages to slash Avril, sending her to the ground.

Avril: Sorry, Aberdeen. I failed you.

The shady man's blade returns to a normal arm, and he heads into the house, where Mizeh Altworth is.

??: Where is the Yellow Prismati Relic?

Mizeh: I'll never tell you.

??: If you don't, not only will I dispose of you, I'll also seek out your apprentice, or should I say daughter, and kill her, too, along with your greatest creation.

Mizeh: You wouldn't dare hurt Agnes or Minette.

??: Would I, my dear Mizeh?

Mizeh: Please don't. Spare us, and I'll give you the Prismati Relic. But I tell you this. You won't get the remaining three.

??: That's for me to decide.

The mysterious person heads up to the bookcase, where he looks for a specific book. Upon finding out titled "The Prismati Relics", he pulls it out, causing the bookcase to slide back, revealing a hidden passage. Upon heading inside, he finds what he's looking for, a crystal like the ones he's already acquired, except yellow, encased in a glass case. He breaks the case and takes the crystal. After doing so, he puts it with the other four Prismati Relics. He then leaves the room and looks at Mizeh upon seeing her again.

??: I'm a man of my word. I won't harm you or those around you, for now.

The shady man heads out of the house and passes by Aberdeen and Avril, who are injured from his attacks. He looks at the five Prismati Relics he has with him.

??: I now have five of the Prismati Relics. All that's left are Red, Green, and Blue.

[The Past ends]

Author Notes
It took a little while, but I've finally finished chapter 3 of my fanfic. This is the big moment, when Leicester Maycraft and Carina Verritti get married. However, the story is far from over, as indicated by how the chapter ended.

Note at how I included some fanservice for Carina when she and Leicester begin their honeymoon. I think you have an idea on what they do at the end of the scene, but I purposely cut away from that scene for obvious reasons.
