Graduation
On Sunday morning, Liliana took a trip down to Glimmerbrook to visit her aunt Arabella and her new cousin, Lis. The girl is still new to the family, but Liliana has intentions of asking Lis to be the flower girl at her wedding.
First, though, they've got to get to know each other.
Liliana engaged in a game of hide and seek with her cousin. It was the first time she'd played this game in quite a while- she forgot how much fun it was.
It did take her a minute to find Lis's hiding place behind the toy box upstairs, though. Maybe she'd lost her touch.
After the game of hide and seek, Lis asked Liliana to go play outside with her. Liliana agreed, happily pushing the younger girl on the swings for a good while until Lis finally got tired.
Towards the end of her visit, Liliana decided now was a good time to ask the question she'd come here for.
"Lis, I'm engaged, and I'm going to be married in the fall. The entire family is coming, and I would like you to be my flower girl!"
"I've never been to a wedding before." Lis seemed uncertain.
"That's okay, we'll have rehearsals first. It's not hard at all, you'll have a basket of flower petals and you'll walk down ahead of me and scatter the petals on the aisle. What do you say?"
"Okay!" Lis agreed happily after considering it.
With that role in the wedding party filled, Liliana next headed off to San Myshuno. They still needed a ringbearer, and her second youngest cousin seemed perfect for the role. But first, she had to break the news of the engagement to her aunt and uncle.
Carin was ecstatic over the news. Not just because Liliana had found someone, but because this marked the first wedding in the family!
Aurelia was quick to agree to being Liliana's ringbearer, and honored to be chosen. That filled in most of the wedding party- Aukai just had to choose his best man.
They'd decided on the 7th Day of Fall for their wedding date, which meant there was only a while left to wait, now. And first, there was another celebration.
Liliana, Aukai, and her family gathered at the Copperdale Auditorium that evening for Liliana and Aukai's formal high school graduation ceremony.
Liliana and Aukai both graduated with honors, and thanked Principal Celeste for a great school year. She was pleased to hear they were both well on their way to successful careers, and wished them luck on their university exams.
Liliana and Aukai didn't stay long after receiving their diplomas, bidding Liliana's family goodbye and heading home. They had a lot of studying to do to prepare for their exams tomorrow.
Their studies paid off, both of them passed all four of their classes. Liliana scraped by with a C- in Anatomy for Amateurs, but that admittedly wasn't surprising. She'd nearly missed the class multiple times because it was so far across campus.
To celebrate the end of their first term and passing their classes, the couple took a evening trip out to Sulani. A kiss under the waterfall was said to be good luck, in Mer culture.
Together, they couldn't wait to see what the next term brought.
