Dialogue

The three brides have finished gathering their helpers, which means the battle for wedding supremacy is about to begin!

Wedding Aoi: Let me introduce you to the geniuses who will be putting MY wedding together!

Jurota: Estelle: Sazanka: Taro:

Wedding Aoi: The Nuptial Ninjas: Aoi's Team

Wedding Xania: You're using a member of the Ilian Church to perform a Hinomotoan ceremony?

Wedding Aoi: Yep! That way, the ceremony will be a mix of cultures—a wedding that brings the whole world together as one!

Wedding Xania: Huh! I suppose that does make sense. Now let me introduce you to MY team!

Curran: Vice: Alain: Nicolas:

Wedding Xania: The Odd Bunch: Xania's Team

Wedding Xania: I brought along everyone I could convince to help out.

Alain: We must retreat up the aisle at once!

Nicolas: You walk DOWN the aisle in a wedding, Alain. You don't retreat UP it.

Vice: I just said I could peel a pumpkin, and all of a sudden I'm dragged into this? I'm an assassin, dammit!

Wedding Elisanne: Your team seems to lack unity. Are you sure you can perform a ceremony together?

Wedding Elisanne: Yes, well, now let me introduce MY fine assistants!

Luca: The Prince: Ricardt: Cleo:

Wedding Xania: The Daily Dreamers: Elisanne's Team

Philia: Waaaaah! I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you, my love!

The Prince: Er, it's fine. Just please calm down.

Wedding Elisanne: I have sent out invitations to everyone in the castle telling them our ceremonies will take place tomorrow.

Wedding Aoi: That will give all of them a chance to vote on which wedding they think is best.

Wedding Xania: Then let's make it a day to remember!

Everyone: Yeah!

That night...

Luca: Rrrgh! This will NEVER gonna be done in time!

Jurota: I did not perfect my ninja skills for them to be used like...this.

Nicolas: How's everything going, you two?

Luca: Terrible! Elisanne is so darn picky about EVERYTHING—I could work all night and not finish this!

Luca: Er, so how's stuff on your end?

Nicolas: We were able to finish without difficulty, but whether the result is WORTH seeing is another matter entirely.

Jurota: That bodes ill.

Nicolas: Yeah, it's all just very...by-the-book. There's no sense of individuality.

Jurota: Mmm. Aoi has the opposite problem. Her ceremony is almost TOO unique, and I fear none will appreciate it.

Jurota: It is nothing but ninjutsu from tip to tail. She insists that is Hinomoto's style, but I beg to differ.

Jurota: Honestly, I am uncertain if her event even qualifies AS a wedding.

Luca: Sounds like every team's got problems. Still, not much we can do about it now, what with the invites bein' sent and all.

Nicolas: Agreed. People are actually excited for this mad affair, and it wouldn't do to cancel the whole thing now.

Luca: I know, right?

The Morning of the Ceremony

Wedding Elisanne: Aaauuugh! What is the meaning of this?! The food and the decorations are nowhere NEAR being finished!

Luca: I TOLD you we'd never finish if ya obsessed over every last detail! ..Er, so what's the plan now?

Wedding Elisanne: *sigh* I don't know. At this rate, we won't just lose—we'll actually end up disappointing everyone.

Wedding Xania: Elisanne! We need to talk!

Wedding Elisanne: Why do you two look so flustered?

Wedding Xania: I worked really hard to create an ideal ceremony, but it's...it's BORING!

Wedding Aoi: And I went too far in the other direction and made it all about my style. Now it just looks like I'm hosting a freakin' ninja tournament!

Wedding Aoi: Everyone's gonna hate it.

Wedding Elisanne: If it makes you feel better, I was far too meticulous in my planning, and my ceremony is nowhere near finished.

Wedding Elisanne: It sounds as if we are all in trouble. The question, then, is what we do.

???: Maybe you should just stop competing already! I mean, DUH!

Philia: Then my fated love won't have to pretend to marry any of you harpies!

Wedding Elisanne: Of course!

Wedding Elisanne: Instead of competing against each other, we can work together to create ONE ceremony everyone will enjoy!

Wedding Aoi: Which will let each of us make up for the other's weaknesses!

Wedding Xania: Even if we can't give people the competition they were promised, we can at least entertain them.

Wedding Elisanne: It is not too late to save this. Come on!

Philia: Yeah, that's right! You all just go! Shoo! ...Er, I GUESS this worked out for me?

And so, the time comes for the ceremony...

Malora: Honestly, this is like dealing with children. Who makes a contest out of MARRIAGE?

Sarisse: RIGHT?! I'm personally hoping they'll start fighting and rolling on the ground and pulling each other's hair or whatever. That would be the BEST.

Erik: Francesca: Pietro:

Johanna: Marty: Cibella:

Malora: The people are starting to gather. Let's see what they can do, mmm?

Estelle: Attention, everyone! Cease your talking, unless you wish to feel the Loving Hand!

Estelle: The event will begin shortly, and I, Estelle, will be your master of ceremonies.

Curran: And me! ...Er, Curran. Now let's have some applause for today's happy brides!

Wedding Aoi: Wedding Elisanne: Wedding Xania:

Sarisse: ...Huh? Why are they holding hands? WHERE'S MY HAIR PULLING?!

Wedding Elisanne: May we have a moment of your time, everyone?

Wedding Elisanne: You were all invited here to watch three wedding ceremonies and choose your favorite from among them.

Wedding Elisanne: However, we were too immature as brides to live up to our promise, and for this, we are truly sorry.

Wedding Xania: But not wanting all of you to go home disappointed, we decided to join forces.

Wedding Aoi: Together, we've created one ceremony that combines all of our ideals!

Wedding Elisanne: It may not be what you were promised, but we hope you enjoy it all the same.

Sarisse: The idea of a competition had me worried, but they all look super happy.

Malora: Yes, this sounds MUCH more fun.

Ricardt: Th-then will all of the brides please step forward?

Wedding Aoi: Wedding Elisanne: Wedding Xania:

Ricardt: Er, yes. Right then. Do you promise to be good friends, in sickness and health, for as long as you all shall live?

Wedding Aoi: Wedding Elisanne: Wedding Xania: We do!

After the Ceremony

Wedding Xania: Whew! I'm glad that all worked out.

Wedding Elisanne: As am I. Ricardt may have fainted, but everyone else seemed to quite enjoy themselves.

Wedding Elisanne: I enjoyed myself, too—and also learned something along the way.

Wedding Xania: Agreed. We should probably hold off on wedding plans until we have a better understanding of love in general.

Wedding Elisanne: The whole concept of competing over this was silly to begin with, yet in my stubbornness, I would not let it go.

Wedding Aoi: We were all immature as both people and as brides, and only able to do a proper job when we joined forces.

Wedding Aoi: But I'm going to train really hard and change that!

Wedding Elisanne: As am I—and I believe this escapade was a perfect first step.

Wedding Elisanne: So let's keep working together to better ourselves!

Wedding Aoi: Wedding Xania: Gladly!

The End
