Chapter 1: The Big Question

"The cool air feels good, don't ya think?" Allenbe said to Rain.

"Yes." then she close her eyes and felt the cool air hitting her face.

"When do you think Domon will come back?" she asked Rain.

Rain really didn't want to talk about Domon. After all, he left her here alone, besides Allenbe.

"I don't know." she said as she opened her eyes and lowered her head.

"Rain, I didn't mean to..." she tried to apologize.

"It's okay, it was his choice to leave me here." then she turned around and started to walk away.

"Rain." she heard someone say.

She turned around to see who was there. She was shocked to find Domon. He had only been gone for a week.

"Domon, what are you doing here?" she asked.

"I think I'm going to leave now." Allenbe said, and then she took off towards the hotel.

When she left Domon walked up to Rain and took her hand into his. Something was up; he hadn't shown this kind of affection since she was controlling the Dark Gundam. What had happened to him in the past week?

"Domon, what's wrong?" she asked. She was starting to get really worried.

"Rain, I love you and I would never do anything to hurt you." he said to her. Why did he say that? What was going on?

"Domon, tell me, what's wrong?" it was killing her, not knowing what was wrong with Domon.

"Rain." he said.

"Yes Domon."

"Will you marry me?"

She was so shocked that she couldn't speak. "Did he really just ask me to marry him?" she thought. She tried to answer him but

the words wouldn't come out. She tried several times to speak but she couldn't.

"Rain?"

"I can't believe you just asked me that?" she said.

"Is that your answer?" he asked.

"No." she replied.

"So you won't marry me?"

"I don't mean no I won't marry you, I mean no that isn't my answer." she answered him.

"I'm confused, will you marry me or not?" he asked her again.

"Yes, yes." she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I love you." he whispered in her ear as he wrapped his arms around her.

After a few moments he suggested that they head back to the hotel so that they could call everyone and tell them the good news.

She agreed.

When they got back to the hotel Domon told her to wait in the lobby for him. He told her he had to do something. She didn't think

anything of it and agreed. Then he headed up the stairs towards their hotel room.

Rain waited for about fifteen minutes when Allenbe walked into the hotel lobby.

"Hey Allenbe, over here!" she yelled across the lobby at her.

"Hey Rain, what are you doing down here?" she asked her.

"Domon asked me to wait here for him. He said he had something to do." Rain answered.

"Oh okay, well I'm gonna head up to my room now, I'm feelin' kinda tired." then she headed up to her room.

Rain was so upset about Domon leaving her alone that she had forgot to tell Allenbe the good news. "Where is Domon?" she stated

to get tired of waiting for him to come back. Just then he came walking up to her.

"Where were you?" she asked him. All he said was "no where." Then they walked up to their hotel room.

Domon started to unlock the door when Rain started to say, "you don't make a lot of sense, you ask me to marry you then you..." but she didn't get to finish yelling at him.

"Surprise!" everyone yelled when Domon opened the door.

Rain couldn't believe it, everyone was there, Chibodee and the girls. George and Maria Louise, Raymond, Sia Saici and Cecil,

Argo and Nastashia, and even Allenbe.

"What are you all doing here?" she asked as she kind of stumbled into the room and sat down.

"Where do you think Domon has been for the past week?" Allenbe asked Rain. Suddenly it made sense.

"You went to get everyone for this?" she looked up at Domon, who was standing next to the couch Rain was sitting on.

"Yes." he answered, smiling back at her.

"Wouldn't it have been easier to just have called them?" she asked, still a little shocked.

"If I would have called then there was no guarantee that they would come." he said.

The next week the girls started planning for the weddings. Maria Louise, Shirley, Cecil, and Nastashia were all engaged too. So

they decide it would be a good idea if all the weddings were together. The whole Shuffle Alliance would be getting married on the

same day! With all the enemies they had, Rain just hoped that nothing bad would happen.
