Ehe. [She checks to see that the camera has indeed moved to look at the wall -- messing with the security cameras was the first order of things -- and creeps over to a large tank with some big, melty-faced fish.]
Okay, so I'm gonna assume that it's kind of like the fish are giving the ceremony, like the judge or something? But fish don't talk, so also we have to do it. That make sense?
Hybrid? Ahem. We are gathered here today to glub glub fish noises, swimming and stuff. Uh... This is where you say something meaningful and then tie it into the marriage, right? This is an aquarium, a place we're technically not supposed to be in when it's eleven at night and there's only the fish and the security guard, who hopefully won't show up over here any time soon. And yet, for those searching for a place, everything can be theirs. In this way, we witness a unique and exciting moment in the lives of the brides about to be totally solemnly fish married.
That actually was pretty meaningful. Uh. Do you, Saigusa Haruka, solemnly swear to be with Kurai Yonaka for the rest of forever and to love her even when she smells bad from dumpster diving?
Yonacchi, I smell just as bad from dumpster diving. And I think we skipped all of the readings and the part where they talk on end about our totally romantic love story, but -- shh!
[There are footsteps and a flashlight beam coming around the corner. Haruka looks around frantically for somewhere to hide and gestures for Yonaka to follow her under a crumpled-up tarp in the corner by some cleaning supplies.]
[SURE AM HIDING UNDER A TARP NOW. The security guard doesn't appear to have noticed their hiding spot yet, but he's going 'hmmm' like maybe he heard something??]
[Haruka freezes and tries not to breathe. Under the tarp, she reaches to squeeze Yonaka's hand, if she's okay with that, just to make sure she's still there.]
[It feels like a long time under here. Haruka tries to be quiet, tries not to move, bites down what she wants to say. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But... Yonaka's here. Yonaka's holding her hand like she wants to be here. That brings Haruka out of whatever state she's in enough to lean against Yonaka. Not enough to shift the tarp majorly, in case that guy's still out there. Just a little. Supportively.
She's gotten Yonaka into this running-away mess, but Yonaka's still here...?]
...I guess so. Is that why you skipped half of it? I guess it's pretty hard to remember all that stuff anyway, yahaha.
So, uh. As the fish were saying... Before you-slash-we declare our vows today, I-as-that-funny-looking-fish-staring-at-us would like you-slash-us to confirm that it is our true intent to be made-up fish married. Your. Our. Whichever.
Kurai Yonaka, do you come here freely and without reservation to risk capture by security guards and/or banishment from the aquarium and be bound to Saigusa Haruka in fish marriage? ...I think that's good?
I do. Saigusa Haruka, do you come here freely and without reservation to risk getting yelled at by security guards and never getting to see the fish - uh, us - swim around here again?
Um, I forget a lot of mine, but I think they went something like 'I want to stay with you forever and find us a place of our own together where we can both be happy, and I'm not leaving you now or ever'. Something like that.
I think we trade bouquets, since we're both girls and we each have one. I know they're kinda beat up from the dumpster, but.
[She pulls back and offers her bouquet.]
Then it's vows. [cough] I, Saigusa Haruka, take Kurai Yonaka to be my in-no-way-lawfully wedded fish wife. I will stay with you even when things suck, which is a lot of the time, but at least now we have some furniture we got to before the garbage truck did. I will give you happiness, loyalty, and love... uh, I really mean it and I mean it forever!
[Is her face getting red? This is just a fun thing, right?]
[Yonaka switches bouquets with her. She's blushing a little, too.]
I, Kurai Yonaka, take Saigusa Haruka to be my completely illegally wedded fish wife. I will love you in sickness, in health, and in all kinds of ridiculous shenanigans. I will stay with you forever and ever, amen, you may now kiss the bride?
[WELL THEN it's... okay for a couple of very nervous dorks holding bouquets in front of some really weird-looking fish. When Haruka pulls away, her face is completely red and she looks to the side.]
Uh. Well. That's, I... C-come on, Yonacchi, we should make our great escape now before the guy comes back!

Works for me. Do you want to do it in Japanese or all 'glub glub, glub glub'?

After a while, the sound of footsteps gets farther and farther away. Yonaka peeks out from behind the tarp.]
