Epilogue

"Hurry, Were going to be late" The little girl in a flower dress and pigtales exclaimed.

"Im coming im coming." A little boy said as he emerged from his house. "Why do we have to go anyways" he said sounding annoyed as he walked up to her.

The both looked to be about 6 and were the same height.

"Your impossible" the girl exclaimed thrower her arms in the air. "And your coming, whether you ilke it or not" And with that she grabbed the boys hand pulling him behind her, down the street toward the large castle

The boy dragged his feet, looking annoyed at being dragged around by a little girl. When really inside he was beaming, he would never admit it, but he was happy just being able to hold her hand.

The two walked down the street toward the castle, like the hundreds of others around them. More and more people gathered in around them, adding to the large crowd until soon, the two disappeared from sight. Everyone from the far corners of all the kindgomds had come for this event. It was the wedding of the King of the Archer Kingdom, and the Princesses of the Peacecraft Kingdom

Heero paced the room back and forth, running his hand through his hair nercously every couple of minutes. He cursed as he felt his palms get sweaty once again. It was bad enough he had to worry about a huge kingdom to rule, getting married in a matter or minutes, and now sweaty palms. He went over to the wash basin, and washed his hands for what felt like the hundredth time.

Duo sat across the room, leaning back in this chair smirking. It was a rare occasion that Heero got nervous, but when he did he didn't hide it very well. Getting to his feet he walked over, and put his hand on his friends shoulder.

"Don't worry buddy, the wedding will be fine. As for ruling the Kingdom your not on you own. Me, Trowa, Quatre, and King Peacecraft are all here to help, not to mention the lovely Queen Relena" Duo said, nudging Heero in the ribs.

Heero sighed, running his hand through his hair. After he and Relena went down the pass, they were greeted by thousands of people coming from the far corners of the kingdoms. After seeing the explosion of light the stone had caused, they had all come running. Many of them had come ready to fight, but Quatre had calmed everyone down before anything drastic happened. But both he and Relena were left to explain the whole situation. After they had both told their side of the story, everyone seemed to relax, as if a giant burden had been lifted from them. For with the stone gone, the fear of someone using its power for their personal gain was now gone as well.

King Peacecraft himself, came up to Heero and shook his hand thanking him. He and everyone else had noticed the looks Heero and Relena were passing to one another, and wedding plans were soon under way. With this, the two rival Kingdoms would become one united Kingdom under them both. The very thought of it left both he and Relena scared out of their minds, but with reassurance from both Quatre and Relena's father they had agreed to take up the task.

As the final moments before the wedding counted down, Heero found himself once again pacing the floor. He nervously waited, feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders, threatening to crush him.

A knock on the door brought him out of his thoughts, and Duo came over and put his hand on his shoulder. "You ready?"

Heero looked up at him, emotions rushing through him. "Yes"

Heero stood at the top of the stairs of the Peacecraft castle. He looked over the massive crowd of people, and felt his palms sweat again. Thousands of people had shown up for the event. Heero fought the need to run and hide, as the musicians started to play. He felt like he was about to pass out, he had never been so nervous, but all of that vanished when Relena came into his view.

Even though she was far off, he could see how beautiful she was. She wore a white dress, that seemed hugged her body, until it hit her hips, and then cascaded down onto the floor. Her face was unveiled, and Heero felt his heart skip, looking into her beautiful light blue eyes. She gave him a heart breaking smile, and Heero's fears and doubts melted away.

The progression moved slowly toward the front, but for Heero and Relena it all went by as a blur. The progression stopped, and King Peacecraft extended his arm to give Relena away. Heero turned towards King Peacecraft, and in turn King Peacecraft handed his daughter over to Heero. Heero nodded silently thanking the man for handing over his most prized possesion. Relena and Heero clasped hands, and turned to take the last few steps toward the priest.

As they turned, Heero whispered to Relena "Are you nervous"

Relena smiled, and looked at him through the corner of her eye "I was, but then I saw you"

Heero gave her hand a quick squeeze, wondering how someone so gentle and beautiful could have such a strong hold on his heart. The musicians played their final note and the Priest looked out toward the crowd.

"People of all Kingdoms" He began shouting so all could here "We gather here today, to join together King Heero and Queen Relena. If any of you hold any objections to this matrimony. Please adress it now."

After hearing nothing after a few moments the priest continued.

"King Heero repeat after me" The priest said looking toward Heero.

Heero turned toward Relena and repeated the words the priest repeated to him "I Heero. Hereby promise to love and care for you until the end of my days, and throughout the eternities. Do you Relena accept?" Heero said as he held up the ring.

"I Do" Relena said smiling, as Heero slipped the ring onto her finger.

Relena then grabbed Heero's hand and repeated the same words the priest said to her "I Relena promise to love and care for you until the end of my days and throughout the eternities. Do you Heero accept?" Relena said holding up a ring as well for Heero.

Heero smiled warmly at her "I do"

The priest turned his attention back toward the crowd. "May I present to you, King Heero Yuy and Queen Relena Yuy, of both the Archer and Peacecraft Kingdom. May their days be long and peaceful"

The crowd erupted into cheers and Heero grabbed Relena, giving her a sweet kiss. They soon made their way out of the castle, to a carriage that was waiting for them. Heero went to the carriage and held open the door for her, but Relena paused before she got in. She turned and saw the little wolf cub running toward them, Relena laughed as he ran up to her barking. Heero walked over, and picked the red cub up and kissed Relana on the cheek.

The three made their way into the carriage, and soon were on their way.

Relena waved and shouted thank yous as they pulled away from the Peacecraft castle, until finally the crowd was gone and it was just the two of them and their little cub. Heero wrapped his arms around Relena and pulled her into his lap. The little wolf cub jumped up onto the seat, and laid down on Relena's lap falling asleep almost instantly. Relena smiled at the small cub and rested her head on Heero's chest. Heero buried his face in her hair enjoying the smell of it, and being able to hold her in his arms.

"You know" Heero said, his voice muffled by Relena's hair. "We really should give him a name."

Relena smiled at him "How about little one"

"That sounds perfect" Heero said, feeling dreary from all the events which had taken place.

Soon both Heero and Relena, slowly drifted off to sleep. The carriage continued on its way across the country. to the new life that they would both share together.

Author's Notes: Finally I finished the redit of it all! Maybe now i can get back to school work and work lol. This has been alot of fun for me to run through again, and im much more confident with this after the revise. Although its far from perfect i fixed ALOT of run on sentences, grammer, etc. I hope you enjoyed reading this fanfic as much as I enjoyed writing it.
