NOTE: You want fluff? I give you fluff. Also, this is my third chapter in one day. That's a new personal best for me! Well enough of this romance stuff, I'm going to go watch Saw III.

"I know pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." Madoka grabbed Wataya by the necktie, and pulled him close. She kissed him smack on the lips. The congregation began to clap. Ayumu winked at Hiyono, who was the maid of honor, from his spot as the best man. She sent a sweet smile in his direction. Two years had past since the story's previous events had taken place. Madoka had finally given in to Wataya's constant begging for her to date him, and to surprise, found that he could be quite charming. Ayumu and Hiyono were both in their respective freshman and sophomore years at college. All was well.

After the wedding, as everyone commonly knows, was the reception. What a reception it was. It took place on a ship out on a friend's large lake. The entire police force was there, and Kousuke and Rio even made an appearance. Kousuke was on his last year of college, training to join the police force. After Ryoko's death, he had sworn not to kill others, but to put those kinds of people behind bars. And as for Rio, she had taken up learning to play the piano. She still wasn't as good as her late love, but she was getting better and better. Her first original song was entitled, Taishite Metsuki, For Eyes.

At the reception, the six of them sat at a table together. It seemed inappropriate to have anyone else there. They hadn't been through what all of them had. But it was nice.

Madoka was having fun being a bride for the second time. She laughed and joked as she put a white, elbow length, gloved arm around her new husband's neck. He kissed her on the cheek. The band played Nearer My God To Thee. Madoka had recently fallen in love with the movie, Titanic, and demanded that the song be played at the reception, despite it being the song played by the band as the ship was sinking. The song ended, and Madoka put a finger to her lips.

"Shhhhh! You guys, this is the best part! I had to pay a little extra to get them to do this, but it was so totally worth it! The rest of the reception started clapping as they turned to the band who had finished playing. The violinist held up a hand to stop the applause, then turned back to the band.

"Gentleman," his voice rang out over the microphone. "It has been a privilege playing with you tonight." The rest of the band looked at each other and sighed. The things they had to do for the enjoyment of the bride. Then all of them set down their instruments, walked to the edge of the ship, and jumped off. Everyone gasped, except Madoka who was rolling on the floor laughing and holding her sides.

"Oh my gosh," she said in between giggles. "I can't believe they actually did it!" Wataya blinked and looked from his new bride to Ayumu, who shrugged.

"Hey, don't look at me," he said. "She's your problem now." Wataya groaned and buried his head in his arms on the table while Madoka continued to laugh maniacally. Fortunately, a lifeboat had been waiting nearby to rescue the poor members of the band. The speakers came on and began to play Titanic's theme, My Heart Will Go On. Hiyono got up and left the dining area as soon as Celine Dion's voice began to fill the ship.

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you

That is how I know you go on

She walked to the bow of the ship, and gazed out at the setting sun on the lake ahead of them.

Far across the distance and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Hiyono was joined shortly after by Ayumu, who put his hands around her waist and held her close.

Near far wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on

"It's beautiful," Hiyono said, referring to the scenery. Ayumu nuzzled her neck.

"Just like you," he whispered.

Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

"So what will we do now?" she asked in a short whisper.

"Same thing we always do. Solve mysterious. Live." An old chapter was closing and another one was about to begin. They stood their, just listening and feelings the words to the song.

Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold you
In my life we'll always go on

"Would you like to dance?" Hiyono smiled and nodded. Ayumu put a hand around her waist, and held her hand in his other. The two pressed their bodies close together.

Near far wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

"Can this be our song?" Hiyono asked. He nodded. The couple stopped dancing and just held each other close.

You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and

Hiyono gazed into Ayumu's eyes. Closer and closer they moved their lips until they were touching. This was Heaven.

My heart will go on and on
