Epilogue: Four years later
"Why can't he wear the dress?" Feihong whined.
"First of all, he can't turn into a girl. Second of all, he wants a traditional Chinese marriage ceremony," Usagi smiled.
"I can tolerate the overly short skirt in my senshi form because I can't change into different clothes in the middle of a fight and there is no material that can withstand my fire. But, I CANNOT TOLERATE THAT!" he shouted, pointing at the dress on the mannequin.
It was bright red Chinese style dress with an exquisite design of a dragon in gold and purple threads. On both sides was a slit that went up to midthigh. The sleeves flared out at the ends. It was a mixture of the old fashions and the new.
"It's beautiful, Hong-chan. I don't know why you don't like it. I wore something like this at your obasan's wedding. Didn't you promise Wufei that you would do this?" Usagi said.
"Why can't we have a plain handfasting anyway like Ryo?" he mumbled.
"Speaking bad things behind my back, eh, Hong-chan?" came a voice. A pink haired man with deep blue eyes walked into the room.
"Feihong was complaining for the last hour! We have only four hours to get ready before the wedding and he's still complaining," Usagi said in an exasperated tone to her great great grandson while waving her arms about wildly as if going through some horrible death.
"Why can't I have a handfasting like yours?" Feihong whined. There was a knock on the door.
"May I come in?" came Wufei's voice.
"Might as well, but wait until we hide the dress," Usagi said, hiding the mannequin. Wufei walked in dressed in traditional Chinese robes. Feihong merely crossed his arms and glared at him with an angry pout.
"Ni hao. I'm Tsukino Ryo, great great grandson of Serenity," Ryo said, bowing politely. Wufei returned it.
"The guests are arriving," Wufei said to Feihong. He arched an eyebrow, wondering what was making his lover angry.
"He won't wear it. I've been trying to get him to wear it but it just won't work! Maybe you'll do better," Usagi said, hooking her grandson's arm and dragging them out the door.
"I don't wanna," Feihong said, sounding like a 2-year old.
"Please, for me?" Wufei said, putting his hands under his chin and looking at him with huge black eyes.
"No," Feihong said, refusing to look at his lover.
"Pretty please? I'll make it worthwhile," Wufei said, wrapping his arms around Feihong's thin waist and nipping at an earlobe.
"Oh, fine," Feihong said, shoving an elbow into Wufei's chest. He marched off to where Usagi had stuffed the mannequin and went to change. Wufei hid a smirk behind a hand and walked out, telling Usagi that it was safe for her to help Feihong prepare. She gave him a thumbs up sign and a smile of thanks.
~Several hours later~
Right after the ceremony, she stripped off the dress and changed back into her male form before joining the party. Feihong found Wufei looking around at his fellow ex-pilots. Duo and Heero, who were oblivious to the party around them were making out in a corner. Trowa and Quatre were looking at each other as if they were the only people in the entire world.
Feihong decided to surprise his lover and sneaked up to him using his stealth skills, wrapped his arms around Wufei. :You know that you can't sneak up to me anymore, Fei-chan: came an amused voice.
"Oh, pooh," Feihong pouted. During the four years they were together, well four years, four months, three days, sixteen hours, thirty three minutes and seven seconds, their bond deepened to a point where Wufei, who was not telepathic, was able to talk to him telepathically.
The war was definitely over and the world was ruled mainly by two houses, Serenity and Peacecraft. Amazingly, there were many who had remembered Crystal Tokyo and the peace it represented. Leaders willingly embraced both and for the past three years, there was total and absolute peace.
After the defeat of Metallia, the Romafeller Foundation had backed off entirely. They were all under the influence of dark energy and had resorted to the tactics that they did because of it. There were those who were still wary of the organization but were confident that either the Serenity or Peacecraft family would be able to deal with it. They spent an entire year rebuilding and improving lives.
In the following years, stability was achieved and everybody relaxed for once. At the moment, Queen Serenity XXVI and King Alexander I were ruling under the House of Serenity. Relena Peacecraft ruled by herself but there was someone she was seeing and many were making bets about the time of marriage.
Two months after the defeat of Metallia, when all of them had returned to Earth, including Usagi, Relena had confronted them again. "I have bad news, Heero," she said solemnly.
Heero looked at her with an arched eyebrow, the only change in expression he dared to show the persistent blonde. Duo had his arms around his waist and his usual black cap over his hair. However, this time, his bangs were swept away from his eyes. With the cap covering his hair, he looked somewhat like Feihong. Duo looked at Relena over his shoulder.
"I am seeing someone and I would like to tell you that I no longer have any feelings for you. And I realize that you might have feelings for me so I came in person to tell you this," she said.
At first, Duo stared at her in shock. Then he buried his head onto Heero's shoulder as he began to laugh. His entire body was shaking as he heard what Relena had said.
"Is your girlfriend okay?" Relena asked.
"I-I'm fine," Duo said before going hysterical with laughter again.
"Duo," Heero growled.
"That's Duo?!" she shrieked. Duo released Heero to cover his ears. Feihong and Wufei jumped out of their room, brandishing a sword, looking to and fro for the enemy.
"What?! What happened?!" they said in perfect unison.
"Isn't she the girl who kissed you the last time I saw you?" Relena said, pointing at Feihong.
"I resent that remark when I'm not in senshi form. I AM NOT A GIRL! HOW CAN ANYONE BE SO OBLIVIOUS?!" Feihong yelled. The only reason he was not leaping onto her throat was because Wufei had his arms pinned. Hands twisted his head around and a pair of lips quieted his protests.
"I can't believe you let her kiss another guy in front of you? Are you so inexperienced with relationships?" Relena said. Heero growled and grabbed Duo's face and pressed his lips against the braided boy's.
"He's with me, now would you kindly evacuate the premises?" Heero said when he let Duo up for air again.
"Well, I have NEVER seen such a display in my life. Good bye, Heero!" she yelled, stomping off to her limo.
That was the last time she had ever confronted them privately. The other times they saw here were during peace conferences but she never said anything to them nor did she even looked in their direction.
"What are you thinking about Wufei? You have that adorable thoughtful look on your face," Feihong asked.
"I never thought I would find someone nor would I even live to see the peace. In the life of a gundam pilot, you took a lot of chances. You never know when you were going to have your last meal. At the beginning of this war, I never knew that I would ever be this happy in my life," Wufei answered.
"Well, I can make you even happier. There's a big surprise for you on the bed of our room," he giggled.
"You are incorrigible," Wufei sighed deeply, turning in Feihong's arms. "Well, why don't we go there now?" he leered. He flipped the surprised boy into his arms and transparent dragon wings appeared on his back. He smiled at the crowd who were cheering and throwing catcalls and jumped into the air toward the window of their room.
"I guess I'm going to follow a dragon's fate, ne, Wu-chan?" Feihong said with a smile.
"Dragon's fate indeed."
