"I'm gonna faint...or puke..." Sarina gasps. "I'm gonna fuke?"

"Don't do either! Just get out there and marry the most adorkable turtle in the world!" Destiny grins, her tail wagging like crazy. "I can't believe you're finally gonna be my real sister."

Sarina smiles, encasing the wolf-raven in a hug. "I'm ecstatic as well."

"Agh...these dresses are so pretty!" Annalise gushes, spinning around in hers. "Des, I loved the ones for yours too! So many awesome options!"

The bridesmaid dresses for Sarina and Donatello's wedding are purple and white, respectively. They decided to have it on the rooftop of Murakami's, where everyone is preparing. It'll make the food a whole lot easier.

"Yeah, the dresses are great," Taylor says, deadpan and her face set in a hard frown.

Sarina looks down, feeling suddenly guilty. "Sorry. I would've had bridesmaid jeans and shirts but..."

The ex-gang member laughs, unable to act unhappy. "Gotcha! I'm just happy 'cause you're happy."

"And you're next! Agh, you're gonna look perf!" Annalise squeals, hugging the dark-haired girl.

She rolls her eyes, returning it as she smirks lightly.

"Come on, Sarina. It's time to go," Destiny says.

Sarina nods, draping her veil over her head and taking a deep breath.

"Is everything ready? Is the arch set up? Is Splinter okay with conducting the ceremony?" Donatello rambles.

"We're gonna duct tape your mouth shut soon if you don't quit it," Raphael threatens.

"It's okay to be nervous. It's much easier once you're up there," Leonardo says, pinning a white rose on the lapel of Donnie's tux. "Trust me. All you have to do is focus on her."

Donnie smiles lightly. "Yeah, you're right."

"Dudes! April forgot the music!" Michelangelo cries, rushing into the room.

"WHAT?!" Donnie screeches.

Mikey grins. "I'm just tugging at your shell, bro. It's all good."

Donnie nearly passes out, his face going a shade lighter in complete shock. Raph and Leo steady him carefully and fan his face gently, both of them shooting Mikey a glare. The orange-masked turtle pokes his tongue out at them.

"Come on, man. Time to go," Leo says. "I'll be right beside you the whole time."

"Yeah...yeah..." Donnie pants, inhaling and exhaling rhythmically.

Sarina waits as the other girls take their spots near the floral arch. She shifts nervously from foot to foot, watching the same guests from Leonardo and Destiny's wedding gather. She tenses as she hears someone come up behind her.

She turns around to see Meeko and Raphael shutting the fire escape door leading from the noodle shop. The woman smiles at the cyborg, her pale blue eyes seeming to sparkle with excitement.

"Oh Sarina-San, I'm very excited for you," she gushes, moving from Raph's side and taking her hands in her own. "You look absolutely kireina."

Sarina blushes faintly as Raph smirks, both mutants understanding the Japanese word for "beautiful".

"I thank you, Meeko," she murmurs.
