"I'll go find the dragon. Where shall we meet up?" Genos asked, an hour after Tatsumaki and Lord Farquaad left.

"I'm gonna go to Duloc. Good luck with the dragon." Saitama patted him on the back, strolling towards the castle.

"Wait, Master! The wedding isn't for another seven hours!" He ran after him. "We can't afford to mess with the timeline any longer!"

"Then I'll just wait it out, inside." He shrugged, pushing past him.

------------------------

"It's only noon, and I'm already sick of this." Tatsumaki hissed, tugging on her veil.

The altar was set, and all the guests attending the wedding were checked off the list. All that needed to be finished was the food for the reception, and due to wedding superstitions, the bride and groom were kept in separate chambers until it was time.

The glass windows illuminated the entire room. She sat at a long table, frustrated with her circumstances."He'll come for me, I know it." She slouched. "After all, it's part of the script." She sighed, a pit settling in her stomach.

A window shattering startled her from her stupor. "Who's there?" She stood up, walking towards the direction of the shatter. "The cake's in here, so this might be the right room." She heard a recognizably dull voice mumble. "Yo, is the bride in here?" He teased.

"Shut up, egghead." She found him sitting on a small set of stairs, which were in various rooms all over the castle due to Lord Farquaad's insecurity. She took a seat next to him, her veil cascading down her back. She knew it was important for her to at least address what would happen between the two of them due to their roles.

"You do know what happens at weddings, right?" She huffed, trying to keep herself from getting flustered. "People get married." He responded, looking like he was happy with his own answer. "No! I mean, yes, but what else?" Her eyes darted in all directions, her blush growing.

He pondered for a moment, still lost as to what she was implying. "Tats, are you worried about the kissing scene?" He placed a hand on her shoulder. Her back was facing him, but the quiet tone of her voice indicated that she was no longer angry or annoyed with him. "A little.."

He remained silent, as she buried her face in her gown. "But it's the only way I can keep my powers." She turned to look at him then faced her back towards him yet again. "What do you mean?" He asked.

She rubbed the back of her neck, which was still under her veil. "I lied about nothing happening to me. The first night,I was glowing green and I realized my powers were back. But when the sun came up, they were gone again." She sighed, clasping her palms out in front of her. "My first kiss should be because of mutual romantic feelings. Not for this."

"Tatsumaki," she turned to face him, "I understand. But you should know, you're more than your powers." She remained silent, a small smile on her face. Leaning forward, she kissed his cheek. "Thank you." She whispered. "Saitama, I want to say something else. Something I didn't finish yesterday." "What was it?"

"Princess, oh Princess!" A servant's voice rang in the hallway. Panicking, she ushered for Saitama to follow her to the table, lifting the table cloth. "Just hide!" Making sure he was no longer visible, she ran to open the door. "Ah Princess, you look beautiful. Shall we walk you down the aisle?"

-------------------------------------------------

Saitama ran down the stairwell leading to the entrance. "Master!" He heard Genos shout, as he was still a few yards away from him. Reaching the entrance, he took a breath then continued speaking. "I found the dragon. All you have to do is whistle on cue." "Cool."
