Chapter Text
The day before, Friday, June 14th 2024, Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen, Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, 1830 hours (6:30 pm):
Karen and Tricia sat at the table, facing Roselia’s keyboardist Rinko and her girlfriend Miyashita-san on the opposite side, while Eri of Dearly Stars fame and Kanade's friend Fumika flanked them by the sides, the space surrounding them filled with the bustling voices of customers chatting and chefs cooking and fulfilling orders. It wasn’t as dramatic as Gordon’s show, but it was rather unique. At least they’re guaranteed going to get fed, unlike those appeared in the show.
“So Kanade and Mika are with Bebe, right?” asked Fumika. She wasn’t wrong in asking that; the couple was with the bride, having a bachelorette party before the big day tomorrow. She’s wearing her blue Mido Ocean Star GMT 'Shark Tooth' Special Edition with the 20mm blue grey Esprit NATO nylon RAF strap, while Eri is wearing her turquoise Gavox Longitude with the 20mm WIS quick-release rubber strap in capri-ish 'Miami Blue' with a brushed silver-toned buckle attached via the strap connector.
“Yeah, and so is Butters with Kenny…” Karen replied. The groom chose him to be his best man, cause they are childhood friends, and they’re also have a bachelor party before tomorrow. She’s wearing her green Circula Aquasport II with the 20mm olive drab-ish military green Wolbrook tropic rubber strap with the steel buckle, and Tricia’s wearing her 39mm black and light blue Laco Scorpion Atlantik (optioned with the Premium/Top grade Sellita SW200-1, but still with inner anti-reflective coating) on the 20mm orange Joseph Bonnie tropic rubber strap.
“And about Bebe…” Rinko speak out; “Lisa and Eli are with her, right?” she asked. The Roselia keyboardist is wearing her solar-powered 38mm black Vaer DS4 Meridian with the 20mm light grey Luff Mafia heat-welded nylon G10 strap.
“Like, Bebe picked them to be her bridesmaids, right?” Miyashita-san added. She’s wearing her MRP "Monnin"-like blacked-out solar-powered Momentum Sea Quartz 30 (SQ30) Eclipse Black-Ion (similar in case shape to the fully matte case on Kashiwagi-san’s left-hand-drive no-date CWC Royal Navy Diver Quartz Mk2) on the 20mm orange Uncle Straps chocolate bar rubber strap with a coated black buckle.
“Yes, they’re part of her entourage.” Tricia bluntly answered; “And Craig is on Kenny’s side.” she added.
“Well, they probably are having a good time with their pals, I guess~” Eri quipped.
“So how long you and Karen have been married?” asked Fumika.
“Well, about five years or so by now…” Tricia drifted off.
“So Karen is Craig’s little sister-in-law, right?” Rinko asked.
“Yeah, that’s right~” Karen scratched her back; “And Tricia is Kenny’s younger sister-in-law too.”
“And what do you think would happen after Kenny and Bebe tied the knot?” Miyashita-san asked.
“Well…I think Bebe would be Craig’s distant cousin, for sure.” Karen answered.
“Yeah, it would be a rather complex family tree, that’s for sure~” Tricia awkwardly smiled; “But I don’t know how it would work, either.”
Moments later, their Beef Wellingtons and seared scallops was served up. It was just the start to their feast.
“Shall we ate now?” Tricia asked. Everyone nodded back in return.
The next day, Saturday, June 15th 2024, Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, 0630 hours (6:15 am):
Bebe sat at her bed next to a still asleep Kenny, the morning summer beaming its sunlight into the room the soon-to-be married lovebirds are in. She felt extremely delighted, yet she can’t shake off her nerves. It’s their big day, after all.
Bebe turned around to smile at her soon-to-be blonde husband, being happy and optimistic about today, only for the sound of door knocks to break her trance. She instantly rushed to the door of their room in a frantic hurry.
“Bebe~” outside stood her soon-to-be little sister-in-law Karen, her wife and Craig’s little sis (and Tweek’s little sister-in-law) Tricia, Eri Mizutani of Dearly Stars fame and Kanade's friend Fumika Sagisawa, along with Roselia keyboardist Rinko Shirokane and her blonde girlfriend, Ai Miyashita of Perfect Dream Project fame.
“Karen and Tricia!” Bebe looked happy as she smiled, hugging the McCormick-Tucker couple; “And oh, is that Kanade’s friend? And is that Lisa’s bandmate in Roselia?”
“Hi, Bebe~” Fumika shyly greeted her; “Can we come in?”
“Of course!” Bebe quickly signaled for her soon-to-be sister-in-law, her wife, and their friends to enter the room; "Where's Kazuki, though?"
“Well, he's getting himself ready…” Eri answered; “Is Kenny still asleep?” she asked.
“Yes…” Bebe scratch the back of her neck.
“U-uh…what’s going on…” Kenny woke up, a little groggy as he went of the bed; “Hold up…Karen and Tricia?” He’s wearing his orange Doxa SUB 300T Professional (with the automatic ETA 2824-2) on the ISOfrane-style 20mm orange Borealis vulcanized rubber diver strap, while Bebe is wearing her black and yellow Aquadive Bathysphere 100 GMT with the green and yellow NDC elastic strap by NDCstraps (with the steel hook engraved with the outline of the NDC logo).
“Kenny~!” Karen screamed out as she hugged her big brother. He hugged her and Tricia.
“You must be happy to wed Bebe today, right?” Tricia asked.
“Yes, and Craig and Tweek make it a reality for us~” Kenny replied; “Oh, and is that Kanade’s friend and Lisa’s Roselia bandmate?”
“Yes, she and Kanade are friends of each other…” Eri answered; “And I’m Ryo’s friend too~”
“You meant Ryo Akizuki, right? I know Stan and Wendy are friends with him and Yumeko…” Bebe replied.
“Well, they said that they aren’t attending…” Miyashita-san drifted off.
“But Yukina and Nana are…and yes, I’m Roselia’s keyboardist~” Rinko shrugged.
“You’re welcome, Rinko~” Kenny replied.
“I bet that you two are happy for today…” Fumika said.
“Oh, hell yeah, we are~” Bebe quipped; “And Mika and Kanade are my bridesmaids for today. And also Eli and Lisa too…”
“It must have been their first time to Vegas…” Rinko quipped; “But then again, so am I and Miyashita-chan~…and also Fumika and Eri too, I guess~” she giggled.
“Well, Rinko, you’re right…I’ve been to the US many times before, but have never set my foot into Las Vegas, let along the Vegas Strip.” Eri replied.
“But what were the first impression of that Vegas you all have?” asked Kenny.
“It’s rather glamorous, I must say…I think Rinko-san agree with me about that too~” Ai answered. Her black-haired girlfriend nodded with her.
“Yeah, it’s rather glitzy, really, as much as Tokyo’s Ginza district, but obviously different.” Fumika added.
“That’s actually why we chose it to be our wedding location, cause it fits with our glam style…you know, I myself being stunning, and Kenny being a drag queen.” Bebe explained.
“Thanks for explaining that, Bebe~” Rinko smiled.
“Now can we all have breakfast now?” asked Kenny; “It’s been 15 minutes or so…” everyone nodded back, and Kenny and Bebe disappeared into the bathroom, getting themselves ready for today.
