Chapter 11 epilogue: White Roses

(five years later)

a lot can happen with time. Some things change, some things don't. that's life, and I'm living it the right way now. With Roxas.

Roxas and I have been together for five years now, and if you looked from a distance, we were the same. The same laughing, joking, happy best friends, never separated. But in the inside, we were closer. The happier, more cheerful couple, finally realizing their feelings for each other. It was wonderful to say the least, that our relationship was still as close as it always was.

As for the things that changed, I was officially, technically, sort of related to Kairi now. three years ago, she had gotten pregnant with a cute baby faced little girl with jet black hair, (weird) who she had named Yuffie. Sora was the best father ever, and together they were the best threesome you could find. Kairi had made me the godmother slash aunt, and Roxas was godfather slash uncle. For three years, Kairi still planned her wedding extreme for me. I swear. She trimmed the grass in the backyard, set up benches, wrapped them in silk ribbons, painted everything white, made a white alter of pink and white roses, set up beautiful bouquets of white and pink roses everywhere she could put them, tied the surrounding trees in the forest with the very same bouquets, and even tied pink, red, and white Japanese lanterns from the roof of my house to the trees in the forest, and she did it all while still pregnant with Yuffie. Kairi never ceases to amaze me.

"Auntie Nam-Nam!" a squeaky, jolly voice called, fumbling her letters together as she spoke. I turned to the voice, crouching down low to her level.

"Yuffie! How's my little niece doing?" I cooed. The girl raced into my arms and I picked her up, spinning around. She squealed in delight.

"I'm fine, Nam-Nam! Happy birthday!" she giggled, her headband whipping her in the face. She was dressed in head to toe ninja attire, and she even lugged around a giant cardboard shrunken, that was twice the size of her head.

"Oh, thank you, Yuffie. Do you know where your uncle is?" I asked, curious as I set her back down on the ground.

"Uncle Woxie is with mommy and daddy!" she giggled, pulling my hand towards the back door. I smiled and giggled with the little three year old to lug me outside.

"Namine! Happy birthday!" Kairi shouted, running up and twirling me around in a hug. Yuffie ran off and jumped into Sora's arms.

"Aw, thanks guys." I mumbled, looking around. At Kairi's 'wedding table' where she claimed she would place the wedding cake, was a much smaller, more rational birthday cake with some cookies, drinks, and cheese and crackers. There was a large banner hung up on the alter, on it written 'Happy 30th, Namine!' all of my closest friends were gathered, such as Olette, Hayner, Ventus, Aqua, Terra, Selphie, Axel, Larxene, Tifa, Marlene, Denzel, Cloud, my mother and father, Roxas's parents, (strange) Zexion, Demyx, Zidane, Garnet, Rikku, Yuna, and Paine. Wow. That's a lot of people.

I ran around, hugging everyone, and making small talk with a couple people. In then end, I was in a corner with my original best buddies, Sora, Kairi, little Yuffie, and Roxas.

"Happy birthday." Roxas whispered, wrapping his arms around my waist. I giggled.

"Auntie Nam-Nam! Open my pwesent!" Yuffie squealed, jumping up and down with a little box in her hand. I sighed, taking it lightly from her grasp.

"Aw, thank you Yuffie!" she had made a cute multicolored handprint in a plaster mold and labeled it: to auntie Namine. I love you! I picked up the little raven haired girl and wrapped her up in a hug. From there, Yuffie jumped, flying into Kairi's awaiting arms. She did it so many times, we expected it now a days.

"Here Namine!" Sora chirped, handing me an elegantly wrapped box with a tag that said 'from Sora and Kairi'. I opened it up, and held up a gleaming silver necklace, a thin chain connected to a small yellow star pendant. I smiled.

"It's beautiful, guys. Thank you." I murmured, placing it around my neck. Roxas smirked, handing me a toolbox. I stared at him, puzzled.

"What's this…?"

"Your present from me, duh." he pointed out, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. I stared at the heavy yellow box for ten long seconds before dropping it on the ground.

"Why on Earth did you buy me a toolbox?" I hissed, stabbing an accusing finger at his chest. He seemed to be enjoying himself, holding back laughter as he held his hands up in surrender.

"Just wait! Namine, calm down. Why don't you check out the inside?" he asked innocently, pointing at the yellow crap box. I growled but did so.

I also noticed the strange quietness of the entire yard. No one was talking, and when I looked around at the crowd, everyone was staring back with excited happy expressions. Weird….

I thrust the lid open, glaring down at the hammers and screwdrivers and so on. I then focused my glare on Roxas.

"Keep looking." he pressed, still fighting the urge to smile. I rolled my eyes and started tearing the box apart. I threw everything out of it, digging around until I hit something soft and light. When I picked it up…

It was a blue velvet box.

Roxas took it out of my hands gently, kneeling down on one knee, the smile finally exploding across his face. My friends and family started bubbling up in hopeful joy, excited. Kairi and Yuffie exchanged a glance, and Sora grinned. I just stared, my hear racing and my head spinning.

"Namine Suzumiya. Will you marry me?" Roxas asked lightly, his smile only showing a hint of being unsure. I melted to the ground, tackling him without thinking. The crowd exploded.

"Yes." I whispered into his ear. Yuffie screamed loudly, frightened by the sudden outburst of the crowd, but all of the other noises were screams of joy. My parents (well, my mom) was crying her eyes out, hugging Mrs. Awakara as the danced around in a little circle.

"I told you so!" Ven and Aqua shouted, high-fiving each other.

"See?! My preparations were needed!" Kairi told me, hands on her hips. Sora had run off, trying to calm the panicky Yuffie.

"Like I knew!" I countered, tears streaming.

"She was thinking ahead." Roxas whispered, tears of his own in his eyes. I reached up, lightly kissing him full on the lips, before pulling away and giving him the best bear hug I could manage.

"SO, I was thinking, everyone, here, invited to the wedding, Yuffie could be your flower girl, Denzel maybe could be your ring bearer, you Dad will have a black tux, you! Oh, your wedding dress will be twice as good as the one you had before. I'll put gold lace in it maybe…oh! Or real pink and white roses to match the theme! But then they'll wilt and die…oh well. Ill think of that later. Roxas, you'll have a white tux, with all that jazz, and maybe I'll jell your hair back…or not…" she stopped when Roxas gave her a look, "Whatever. Fine, you can keep your hair all spiky and stuff. The cake will be grand, maybe five feet into the air…"

"There she goes." I giggled.

"But it's for the best. No one gets a wedding planner like Kairi." Roxas chuckled back.

"So. The rest of our lives together?" he asked, smiling.

"I wouldn't want it any other way."
