Then the magic came to Hotaru and began the task of clearing up the unofficial poster girl for recipient of harmful magic three years running. Her physical body was purged of the weakness that had plagued her youth by the enchantment. Then as the magic continued to do it's work, she found her body expanding and becoming more defined and developed, the spell altering her physical form to make up for all the time lost thanks to her dieing as well as making sure she could sustain herself without declining in health. The end result left a slightly wobbly teenage Hotaru of about 17 to 19 bending over to kiss her future husband as she tried to compensate for the height difference without falling over.
Meanwhile as Hotaru was having her adjustments made, Sasami was undergoing some changes of her own. Although there were no harmful energies polluting her body like with her eventual co-wife, the younger of the two Jurian princesses was undergoing some changes. Like Hotaru, it seemed the spell interpreted the time she had 'lost' in the suspension chamber of her sister's ship as a negative factor, and was quickly correcting it as an error. Sasami quickly found her body undergoing years -centuries even- worth of development in seconds. If she had been on Jurai, this wouldn't of been much of a problem, and at the most she would of just had to buy a new wardrobe. But Sasami wasn't on Jurai, she was on Earth, where she would of aged like a human, and probably would have died 2.023 seconds into the whole ordeal if it hadn't been with her link with the goddess Tsunami. As that was the case, Sasami and Tsunami quickly found the merger that was supposed to of been hundreds of years off completed in under three seconds. Memories clashed, emotions were thrown asquew, and experiences were melded into one.
All in all it was quite the experience, and left Sasami/Tsunami dazed for a few seconds before she quickly adjusted her from that of a grown and fully mature woman to that of a teenage around Ranma and Hotaru's appearance to avoid the trouble this was certain to cause. Besides, right now Sasami -which was the name the new hybrid being had decided on for now- knew that there was going to be plenty of things to go over with her parents and relatives, not to mention so to be in-laws, and this could wait till later. Like, until after she, Ranma, and Hotaru had wed. However such a precaution was rendered ineffective against her spouses when the next part of the spell allowed them all a glimpse at each other’s souls. But she was confident in her beloveds abilities to keep secrets.
Then, the spell went to work on the happily ever after part and...
...and
...and...
Error. Parameters of Wish Exceeds Wish Guideline #2. Unable to complete Wish Process. Wish Aborted.
and... the goddess Sasami blinked as the bright light surrounding her and her husband and wife expended to encompass the entire district before popping like a bubblegum bubble. "Okay," she mumbled while looking around at the dojo and the crowd of people that had previously been castle defense forces or decorations. "Did I miss something?"
"What the heck is wish guideline #2?" Hotaru asked.
"I think it was... the genie couldn't kill anyone, and if you wished for that it would be a wasted wish," Ranma said after shaking off the lingering daze from the sleep spell.
Oh great, Hotaru thought with a frown. That means some stupid world conquering menace is going to show up and probably try and ruin everything.
Oh great, Sasami thought at the same time as her co-wife. That means some blast universe conquering Kagato wannabe is going to try and spoil everything.
"Well, at least we got the important part done with," they both said at once before gently hugging onto Ranma from both sides, but not hard enough from it to be considered a double glomp.
"Excuse me," Sailor Pluto's voice spoke up to intrude upon the two girl's moment of victory. "But I think you're forgetting something here."
Together, the trio looked away from each other, and blinked at the sight before them. While they had been in their own little world, most of the crowd had seemed to have piled out of the dojo. Except, that is, for those who had close ties to Ranma, Hotaru, and Sasami.
Ranma simply gulped as he looked at all of the fiancée brigade giving the pair of girls the patented glare of death while Soun and Genma were directing their looks towards himself.
Sasami only laughed nervously and slowly waved a little 'hello' to her older sister, who was currently standing there with her hair twanged out of place. Tenchi was in the background with Washu and both of them were looking slightly confused. As for Ryoko, Sasami could see her out of the corner of her eye, reinserting her real gem before putting the camouflaging the other two as earrings and arranging them as such.
Hotaru just sat there looking at her family while her 'papa's' mouth hung wide open and Michiru didn't look much better. Hell even Setsuna, who was usually stoic as one could ever be, seemed pretty out of it.
