"ICOE" FINAL SCENE (v.1, just a short sketch)
Yugioh "ICOE" last scene of story, from approx. chp. 36
Seto/Anzu, light Honda/Arisa
Arisa smiled and nodded again. "Thank you; thank you all so much." The well-wishers smiled and murmured more congratulatory words, before walking off to wherever they had come from.
Honda sighed happily and put an arm around her shoulders. "We should get married more often. This is a nice deal. Gifts, food, adoration and best wishes... and two weeks of a deliciously fantastic honeymoon!" He kissed Arisa's cheek playfully. "Does life get any better than this?"
Jounouchi smirked. "Just wait til all the little mini-Hondas come."
The happy couple looked at each, then turned to launch a double assault on Jounouchi. "No."
He quailed, and the rest of the table laughed.
"But honestly," Honda said, "has this not been great? Has this not been the highlight of all your poor, pathetic lives?"
Anzu, to his right, laughed softly. "Oh, definitely. You are my world, Honda - how could I not bask in the glow of your happiness?"
He rolled his eyes. "Say what you like, sweetie, you can't bring me down today." He looked at Arisa adoringly. "I'm happy. I never would have guessed that it would turn out like this, but... I have to say I'm happy." He sighed in contentment and looked down at the clean, white tablecloth. "Life is good, Anzu darling. It's absolutely divine."
Suddenly, his brow furrowed and he looked over at Anzu's place setting intently. "What is it?" she asked him, utterly confused by his strange behavior. "Is... something wrong?"
He started to laugh. "Oh no. Nothing at all." He picked up the frosted champagne flute by her side. "Looks like you've gotta little ice in your drink there, hun."
"Hmm? Honda, what are you talking about?"
He grinned and stuck a fork in her glass - much to her great dismay - and a few moments later, a wet circlet of silver popped out onto the table. It was set with a princess-cut diamond and two small sapphires.
Anzu gaped like a fish. "Oh m... My... Th-that's... ring. There... Ring."
Honda grinned and leaned over to whisper, "That's not a proposal, darling - that's a commandment."

Hee. *beam* I've had this in mind since I started the story. The fluff overwhelms me. I'm not sure if I'll keep this in or not. I mean this version, because the scene is definitely staying. Heh.
