"Shizuma?"
"Shizuma what are you doing?"
"Shizuma that thing is loaded"
"Shizuma, no do not do that"
"Shizuma!"
"SHIZUMA NO"
Kira and Shizuma were laughing, as Ace was eating some sushi her eyes were closed "You should have heard your screams Ace it sounded like Shizuma was going to shoot you or something" Kira said laughing. Ace opened her eyes "It's not funny" she said looking the other way. Shizuma smiled kissing her on the cheek "She doesn't like it because it's going on the blog we have" Shizuma said.
"I don't get it" Kira said "You two have picture of both of you in bathing suits why not this one" she said looking at Ace. Ace looked at her "Because it was in a wedding dress, the only wedding dress I actually liked" she said. Kira smiled "I see, it's because you were in a dress" she said.
Ace nodded "But you will not catch me in another one I plan on getting married in a tux" Ace said. Kira smiled "So have you planned any for it?" she asked, Shizuma shook her head "Were still looking for a planner all we have is the church" Shizuma replied. Kira nodded" I see" she said, she looked at her watch "Ah sorry I got to run, I need to meet a client" she said as she left.
Ace and Shizuma returned to their home, they were sitting on the couch when Shizuma brought up the topic. "I know who I want to make my dress but I want to know if it's alright with you?" she said. Ace looked at her "Of course?" she said, "Well I wanted to tell you the person isn't all that famous but her names have made it big some times, and she's an old friend from school" she said.
"Shizuma why do I have to come along?" asked a very bored Ace, Shizuma only smiled as she was now driving to her destination "Because if I know Chikaru she will want to make your Tux as well so, its best if you come for measurement, plus I want to you meet my wedding dress designer" she said. Shizuma pulled into a drive way and she and Ace got out of the car.
Standing on the porch were two women one with black hair and the other blonde. "Chikaru, Shion its been a long time" Shizuma said, The woman with black hair came down she had brown eyes and she was wearing a red shirt with jeans her hair was pulled back with a single red bow she hugged Shizuma "Its an honor to get to make your wedding dress" she said smiling.
Chikaru smiled as she looked at Ace "And you are Ace, You haven't changed since the first time I seen you back at Astraea hill she said smiling. "I want to introduce you to my wife Shion" Chikaru said, The blonde hair woman came down she had blue eyes, her blonde hair was up in a bun and she wore a black shirt with jeans "It's a pleasure to finally get to meet you, while you were in Astraea hill, I was too busy to get to greet or even come see you" she said as she shook Ace's hand.
Chikaru was taking Ace's Measurements when Shion asked the question "So, whose your wedding planner?" Shion asked as she and Shizuma were drinking tea watching Chikaru work "We don't have one yet, we've been looking yeah" Ace said as she was smiling at Shizuma. Shion smiled "I can do it" Shion said "I've done it before a lot of Chikaru's clients hire me as their wedding planner" Ace looked at her "Well, I'll have to look at your portfolio" she said, Shion smiled "Don't worry after Chikaru is done with you I'll take you to my office" She replied.
Chikaru smiled as she started to take Shizuma's measurements "I really am glad that you chose me to make your dress it's truly an honor" She said. Shizuma only smiled "I've been watching your line and I really like it, Plus you did a ready job for the costume of Carmen" she said softly then looked at Chikarus ring "How long have you and Shion been married?" She asked.
"Almost three years, we dated for about three as well and decided to step our relationship up." Chikaru said smiling. "I have to say that you and Ace look absolutely adorable together, I can tell she's very protective of you" She said. Shizuma nodded" Sometimes a little too protective I think but I think that's why I'm so in love with her" She said smiling as she was looking at the engagement ring that she wore that Ace had given her.
Ace was looking at Shions portfolio and she smiled "I have to say your portfolio is excellent I like it. Normally I would discuss this with Shizuma but your are hired, the only thing I require is that this is kept top secret" Ace said. Shion smiled "Of course anything Miss Hanasaki" she said, "Please just call me Ace" Ace replied. Shion nodded and then smiled "What kind of theme are you looking for? I mean what do you want? Something action packed, I mean that's what I see when I think of your wedding." She said.
Ace looked at her and shrugged "To tell you the truth, I have no idea, we really haven't thought about a theme or anything we just know the colors we want" Ace said. "Oh colors are good what colors do you want?" Shion asked as she took out a piece of paper and a pen. "We decided on white, silver, and blue" she said softly as she watched Shion write the colors down. "Oh nice colors," Shion though a moment "Is it going to be inside or out?" she asked. "Well if weather permits Shizuma would like it outside" Ace said remembering Shizuma had said once she would like to have the wedding outside.
Shion smiled "Oh how about this, what if we have Shizuma come to the Alter first and then have your mother and father at the alter and then you come in on a horse, and you jump a fence before you get to the alter?" Shion asked. Ace looked at her "I like it so far, but I don't really have any training in horses and none in jumping" she said.
Shion smiled "Don't worry I can call an old friend who is very familiar with both they could train you, and I know they would keep all of this a secret" She added. Ace nodded "I trust you" she said, as she thought more on the wedding "And the rings what about them?" Shion asked "Oh the only thing we have decided is how we will wear them" Ace replied smiling.
"Shizuma will wear hers like tradition and I will wear mine on a special chain" she said smiling. Shion seemed to smile "Though you have no idea about your theme or anything else you two know how you are going to wear your rings I really like that" she said smiling.
Shizuma and Ace were on their way home they would be back over later that week, both seemed to be tired "So much to do, all this planning is giving me a headache " Ace said rubbing her head a little. Shizuma looked at her and kissed her shoulder "I'm sorry do you regret asking me to marry you?" She asked. "Not a chance" she said smiling "I just never knew it was so much planning that's all" she said softly.
Ace opened the door to their apartment she seen there were messages on the answering machine she sighed, it was probably Shizuma new Agent, and though she loved her to death she was annoying as hell, especially since Shizuma was taking a break from concerts. Ace went over and listened to the message.
"Hey Ace its Victoria, I… well the truth is I wanted to asked if you would I dunno come to a couple of schools as a recruiter not really that but to talk and stuff, please give me a call back love you"
Shizuma looked at Ace, "Well what will you say?" She asked sitting next to her Ace shrugged "I'm not sure, I don't think its right if I work and you don't" Ace replied. "This would be good though for kids, and it different because you never do this" Shizuma said "Do it for me… it will help get your mind off the wedding." She sighed "Alright I'll call her back" she said as she picked the phone up
"Hello"
"Hey Victoria,"
"Hey Ace how you and Shizuma are?"
"Good I was calling to give you an answer"
"Oh what is it?"
"I'll do it "
"That's great"
A few weeks later, Ace and Shizuma were at a high school, Ace was dressed in a black tank top with snow camo pants; Shizuma was in a black turtle neck with blue jeans. They were behind a curtain, at the moment where Victoria was talking and was going to introduce Ace. After a moment the curtain opened and Ace stepped to the Microphone. "Hi everyone, it's a pleasure to be here, Like Commander Longhorn said, I'm Ace Hanasaki, some of you might know me other not, and so I will introduce myself."
"I am Ace Hanasaki I'm an ex Marine I've held many positions in the Military field. I was asked to come and talk to you all today, I've never done this before so I have no idea if you'll learn anything. I guess I'll start out with a simple statement, The Military is not for everyone, and there are some of you in here who shouldn't even try for it. There are some who are qualified; the Military is very, how can I say it diverse. Depending on your unit depends what you will be doing and what you will become in the future."
"I've had my good time and bad times in the service as well, I've seen more things then most people will see in their life. I've seen things that humans shouldn't see, I've fault more battles then the history books tell of. I've seen it all, I've been in the middle of gun fire, I've watched my comrades shot I've watched my friend die" she said. She was silent for a moment "But I would not take any of it back. In all those bad things, I've saved people from starvation, I've taught young children to read and right, I've brought war tureen families back to together, helped building villages."
"I can only give you my personal experiences but I loved the military, it teaches you to never give up" she said as she stepped back. Ace went backstage, after that they left; Ace was tired so when she got back to the apartment she lay in the bed looking up. Shizuma was on her, her eyes closed. Ace knew this was going to be a long, but pleasant process, getting married to the woman she loved.
