Chapter Fourteen:
One wedding, two brides.
The Kazami girls stood cladded in their beautiful gowns on the right side of the Altair. Next to them were the guys, wearing neat tuxes. Dan came and joined the guys standing as Runo had informed him of what she had in mind for this day. What she had said only plastered a grin on his face, but he was happier for Runo than he was happy to get rid of Nicole as he didn't mingle with her much. However Billy and Marucho were missing as they were planning a 'special something' for the bride to be.
The music started and Alice couldn't help but notice how Shun's body tensed. She could hear him sigh afterwards as she was close to where he stood, but he never noticed. She sighed herself as she was tapping her foot, impatiently, waiting for Nicole to show up so they could get this over with. Chan put a hand on Alice's arm, as if asking her to relax and wait. Alice did as told and stood silently.
Four little girls, unknown to the family members, started walking down the long red carpet leading to the Altair. Each was carrying a basket full of red roses' petals and were scattering them on the floor. Another two followed, this time wearing pink and wear carrying flower-necklaces and were giving them to the people sitting on both sides of the carpet.
The ceremonial music started and other young girls followed as well, dressed in red, each holding a long candle with a ribbon wrapped around it. They walked in steady and neat steps. Then came Nicole, dressed in a white gown, it had two straps and was form-fitting as a slit went down from half of her right thigh till the end of the gown. Her veil was transparent but massively long, as it needed yet another two girls to hold it.
The Kazami kids and household couldn't help but sigh and slap their foreheads at the exaggeration of the 'bride'.
As she nearly reached the Altair, Joe lifted the carpet slightly with the tip of his shoe. That caused the young girls holding the candles to trip and the candles flew from their hands and fell on the amazed bride. The bottom of her dress caught on fire and she desperately moved around herself to try and put the fire off as she started screaming for help.
The seven laughed at the scene but Alice got slightly worried about Nicole, she never knew the children were planning to go that far. Shun, and instead of helping her as he was supposed to do, stifled a laugh or two as he helped the young girls off the floor.
Mylene shortly arrived with a big piece of cloth in her hands and put it on the bottom of Nicole's dress with much struggle and the flames died out.
The stifled giggles of the crowd could reach Nicole's ears. She glanced in the direction of the seven and gave them a death glare in which Runo glared back. Shun came up to her and took her hand. He cleared his throat.
"Now, now, Nicole, umm, let's start," He said and the both of them walked to the Altair together. They stood there and the priest greeted the audience and explained why they were gathered today and so on. Shun just wanted the priest to cut his long speech short but didn't say a word.
Alice grabbed a cupcake from the food's table behind her and was about to throw it when Julie grabbed her hand. Alice started at the silver haired girl, confused.
"Please, Alice! Don't you see any movies? You must wait for the right moment," Julie said and Alice sighed, knowing exactly what moment Julie meant.
"Isn't just a waste of time? We should begin," Alice said. The other girls shook their heads agreeing with Julie.
"It's romantic," Chan said with a dreamy sigh and Alice laughed nervously.
Shun has stopped listening to the priest a long time ago and was dying in his place. His ears caught the voices of the girls to his right; he turned his head to see what was going on, as he felt it was more interesting than his own marriage. His eyes widened in shock as he saw Alice standing next to the girls. Alice chose that moment to look at the Altair and found Shun staring at her and their eyes were locked as a smile lit up both of their faces.
"Mr. Kazami? Please, what's your answer?" The priest asked for what seemed like the tenth time, snapping Shun out of his little doze off. Shun looked at the guy, not exactly knowing what question he meant.
"Of course it's "I do", it's our wedding!" Nicole barged in and answered with a tone that scared the priest a little.
"Umm…sure. So, do you Nicole Hea-" Nicole interrupted the guy.
"Yes, yes, I do! Why do you think I am wearing the dress?" She said. The priest was about to announce them husband and wife and order them to wear the rings, but Nicole decided it was time for her to take the lead.
Nicole took the rings from the ring carrier and put hers in her left hand and made Shun ear his own ring, he looked at her weirdly, but he was kinda relieved things were speeding up.
"No we are husband and wife," she said with a satisfying smile.
"Oh…okay," The priest, who was trying to comprehend what had happened, said. "If anyone has anything to say as in why those two shouldn't be married, may him speak now or forever hold his peace," he said the phrase all too fast so the bride won't interrupt him.
Shun was about to say something, but Alice's voice stopped him as he heard her say, "I do," he turned to look in her direction and was hit by a cream-filled cupcake right in the face.
Alice covered her mouth in shock as she was aiming for Nicole. She quickly re-composed herself and cleared her throat. "This marriage shouldn't take place," she said in a confident tone. The whole crowd there looked at her, weirdly.
"How dare you come her and try and sabotage my wedding!" Nicole said and was quickly hit by a cupcake.
"Cause you Nicole have no right to be a Kazami," Alice said and smiled at the kids next to her.
Shun wiped his face with his hand and looked at Alice. "Is that so? Then I can only say one thing…FOOD FIGHT!" He screamed his last word as he grabbed a piece of cake and threw it in Alice's direction, but Alice dogged and the cake hit Joe.
Joe then grabbed and cupcake and threw it randomly and it hit the mayor! The mayor stood with an upset look on his face, but he, too, soon grabbed a plastic cup of juice and threw it at his companion, who threw a pie right on his face. Soon, everyone joined into the mess, except for the priest who chose to hide and Nicole who was ragging with anger. Many kinda of food were hitting her and she decided to fight back with yelling.
"You little bastards! How could you do that! IT IS MY WEDDING!" She screamed and was met by a bee hive flying in her direction. She shrieked as the bee hive broke next to her legs and she was soon attacked by many bees.
Billy and Marucho laughed at the scene, happy that their surprise was put into action. Billy thought it was a little overboard, but then again that's what Julie wanted and he was ready to do anything for her.
In the middle of the mess, Alice was trying to avoid the flying food and was looking for a place to hide. She ducked a bit and was walking towards the exit of the garden. That was until she bummed into someone. She looked up and found Shun standing in front of her. She got up and stared at him and instantly began to laugh. His face was still covered in cream.
He looked at her and pouted, slightly annoyed she was laughing at him, but happy that she was there and that he was hearing her laugh. Alice stopped laughing and shot him an apologetic look, then took her handkerchief out of her hidden pocket and started wiping his face. As she was doing that he kept staring at her, she looked so innocent and so beautiful. God, he was lucky she was back! But then it hit him, why did she come back?
"Why did you come back? Not that I don't want you here, but…why did you change your mind," He asked. She stopped what she was doing and looked up at him.
"Let's just say that many voices told me that I am needed here," she said and smiled, giving him the answer in riddles. He didn't question any further, but smiled.
"whose idea was this?" He asked as he looked around him and at the chaos. That caused Alice to laugh again.
"Well, it was a group brain- storming," she said and continued to giggle. But she was made silent by a cupcake thrown in her face. Alice wiped her face and looked at Shun who had a cool look on his face.
"That was a payback for your cupcake," he said. She shook her head and began to laugh.
The scene was interrupted by Nicole who was in a mess, which was the least that could be said about her condition. She looked at Shun and Alice angrily and they could swear she was fuming. Soon the Kazamis joined the scene as well as Mylene who stood next to Nicole.
"You are the worst group of children I have ever met! And now I just saw from where exactly they took the attitude from! Their parents! I hope you are happy Shun, I don't know how Elena exactly liked you!" She said in an angry tone.
"She must have been a bigger loser than I thought she would be," Mylene added. This angered Shun.
"You have no right to talk about my family like this; I want both of you out of my house right now! And Mylene this is clearly saying you are fired!" Shun said and the two ladies were guided outside of the house by a couple of guards.
Shun then turned to Alice and was now looking at her in the eye. He held her hands in his, still staring in the depths of her orbs. Alice couldn't help but blush as she waited for him to speak.
"Alice, I know you said no the last time I had asked you. But now that you are back and that I am with no bride left for my wedding, I ask you, here and now and in front of everyone else, will you marry me Alice Gehabich," Shun asked, shocking the crowd, who stopped throwing food at each other when Shun began to speak. They really didn't know what the deal of the woman standing before them was.
All eyed Alice closely as they waited for her answer, which made her more uncomfortable. She was feeling more pressure being put on her and her throat went dry, that was until Runo spoke.
"Alice! Just say yes already!" Runo said, making everyone laugh including Shun and Alice. Alice nodded her head in Runo's direction and relooked at Shun.
"Shun Kazami, I accept," She said and the whole crowd applauded with joy.
Shun smiled, full-heartedly, and looked at Alice who had the same smile on her face as the two were accepting the congratulations.
"So, shall we begin the wedding?" Shun asked. Alice nodded and everyone applauded again, happy they were finally going to see an actual wedding.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" A high pitched voice erupted making everyone look in the direction of the silver haired girl who was the cause of this noise. They eyed her, questioningly.
"Well, not with those clothes you're not," She said and everyone dropped on the floor. It wasn't the most important thing in their minds right now.
"What?" Julie questioned but waited for no answer as she dragged Alice inside the house. Runo, Mira and Chan followed and the girls disappeared inside the mansion, but now before Julie said, "Guys, you know what to do," before entering.
The guys sighed but pulled their father inside the house too with Shun asking about what they were planning and Dan and Billy feeling sorry for both Alice and Shun.
The group of people invited to the wedding couldn't find anything else to do, but wait in their seats till they know what exactly was going on.
Everyone form the mayor, priest to the family and friends, waited patiently in their seat. The sun wasn't that hot and there were many clouds in the sky so they really didn't mind at first, but now it was getting very boring.
As the crowd was just to run out of patience, Shun emerged from the doors in a new tux; one that wasn't covered in frosty. He apologized for the long time he took to get ready but he complained about his kids not allowing him to go out with anything and the crowd laughed.
Shun took his place in the Altair and waited silently by the priest.
Multiple gasps soon were heard. Shun turned to find it was Alice who had drawn all the attention and he himself let out a gasp of amazement as he gazed at the beauty before him.
Alice was wearing a white dress; the one Elena wore the day he was married to her. As the thought of Elena crossed his mind, he quickly shook his head. It was finally time for him to move on.
Alice walked and stood next to him with some wild yellow wild flowers in her hands. Her hair was clean, radiant and curled. Shun had to note that Julie did a wonderful job with getting her ready. The priest retold his long speech again but this time Shun really didn't mind since he wasn't listening, his heart and mind were with Alice who couldn't have blushed harder.
"Do you Shun Kazami take Alice Gehabich to be your wedded wife," The priest asked.
"I do," Shun answered and smiled.
"And do you Alice Gehabich take Shun Kazami to be your wedded husband,"
"I do," She said and smiled.
"With the power given to me, I now announce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride,"
Shun leaned in and so did Alice and they both kissed among the applause of the crowd. The seven smiled and clapped as well, cheering on the new couple. Runo and Mira high fived happy that they brought the two together, they were glad Alice got to be their new mother.
"And to say we were trying to get rid of you," Runo joked as she gave Alice a hug.
"Welcome in the family!" Joe said and the seven gave their new mother a hug.
"Ace," Shun said which caught the attention of the mint haired boy. "To not break the family up, I would be very happy if you agreed to stay with us after you turn eighteen, there's no need for you to leave the house, you will still have your place with us, what do you say?"
"Really? I would be really happy!" Ace said and Mira instantly gave him a hug as she was happy he was to stay with them. Shun smirked.
"But don't you think I will stop watching you two," He said. Ace and Mira blushed. "That goes for you two," Shun added addressing Dan and Billy who scratched the back of their heads and laughed nervously.
"Wonderful choice of a wife, Shun. I am sure you will live happily together," The mayor said as he approached the happy couple.
"Thank you, sir," Shun said and the two shook hands.
"How about we take a photo together? Shall we?" The mayor said and signaled a photographer to take their photo.
The family gathered itself quickly and everyone chose a pose. Shun held Alice's hand and kissed it lightly and the photo was taken. It was simply a day they would never forget.
