Usagi held up the white and pink dress. Seven Arguments, Six Hours and Five Stores later.

"What about this one?" Usagi asked, twirling around holding it over her clothes. Rei shook her head.
"Hey, doesn't that look just like the one you designed for that wedding competition?" Ami asked, looking up from the notes she was making from her text book.
"Yeh. And there's a reason you didn't win it," Rei snapped, "anyway, I don't like pink. I want a black, white and red classic wedding" Makoto nodded, and saw a slim fitted white dress with basic sleeves and held it out. Usagi growled, but she wasn't going to ruin Rei's day. She'd get revenge when they all went shopping for her dress.

"This?" Makoto asked, and Rei nodded, running over to spin it around.
"Don't you want it in lace though?" Usagi asked, pulling out and even better dress, and Rei ran over and danced with it.
"Thanks Usagi! I knew there was a reason I'd asked you!" Rei smiled, now heading off to find a fitting assistant.
"Hey! What's that meant to mean?" Usagi enquired, eyes narrowing.
"Only that I was beginning to forget why" Rei awkwardly replied. Rei ran into the changing rooms (again) with both dresses, and the other three stayed out of the changing rooms. Minako was already in the changing rooms being trying on some dresses. Even if Yaten hadn't asked her yet.

"When are you going to start this Ami?" Usagi asked before Makoto could.
"Yeh when's your wedding?" Makoto asked, hoping never. Oh, she couldn't be this mean to her friend.
"Oh, we haven't even talked about when yet" Ami shrugged. Usagi pouted. See, longer time then you thought Makoto.
"I hope Seiya asks me soon," Usagi says, looking down at her small-ish bump, "I don't want to be a fat bride!"
"You can get married after," Ami said, "like me and Taiki will". A lot longer.

This was when Minako walked out, in a full dress and veil.

"What do you think?" She asked, and the others sweat-dropped. Minako sang to herself while she ran over to their mirror, but then fell up in front of it.

"She's worse than Usagi!" Makoto commented and Ami giggled.
"HEY! GUYS THAT'S NO FAIR-"

Seiya and Yaten sighed. Yaten hadn't even bothered to look at the time, but Seiya kept checking now and then. This was probably Usagi's revenge for all those years of him being fashionably late for their dates.

"Sorry guys!" Usagi and Minako called over, and both looked up at surprise.
"About time" Yaten murmured, and he carried on looking up at the sky. Seiya looked ahead at confusion. If this was back when they were 16, Seiya would have pulled faces and been annoyingly cocky. But 4 years of being with Usagi had changed him. He still loved to annoy her, but times like this he'd be happy just to be with her and forget. Sometimes he'd just stand there in amazement/confusion, but then again Usagi had that effect on pretty much everyone. It's not often you meet someone like Usagi.

Minako jumped into Yaten arms and kissed him, much to his annoyance and pleasure. Usagi slowly walked up to Seiya and smiled at him, and just as the two were about to kiss, Minako turned to them and told them they'd best start looking now.

They'd moved the date from Tuesday due to Yaten and Seiya wanting to record their new song and Rei's proper cake-tasting day. There was NO Usagi would miss that for the world. So it'd moved to the week after. And Usagi and Minako had been late due to both stopping off in a shop on the way, telling the guys they'd only be a few minutes. That one shop had turned into a few.

"Makoto's got another date today" Minako said out of the blue. Makoto had told her that this morning. Minako was clinging to Yaten's arm, closing her eyes and beaming, while Yaten simply ignored this and keep walking ahead. The similar thing was happening with Usagi, only Seiya was smiling and kept looking down at the beaming Usagi swinging on his arm.

"Really?" Usagi suddenly stopped beaming and walking.
"Yeh"
"Who with?" she started walked again, but with a thoughtful face. Seiya and Yaten looked surprised at that.
"Who are her choices?" Seiya asked, wondering since when Makoto had choices in men. And Minako and Usagi giggled as if the two guys were silly.
"Andrew, Chad and Nephrite. She's meeting up with Andrew" Minako pointed her finger and winked.
"Whhhaaat?" Usagi asked.
"Oh you weren't in that day. He stopped off for a coffee and they got talking" Minako winked.
"We're here now" Yaten observed, and Usagi pulled a face.
"I hope they're not angry that we're late"
"Hey, they know who we are," Seiya winked down at Usagi.
"It's normal for idols to be late" Minako winked and Yaten nodded.

"I thought it'd be best if we didn't go to a cafe," Andrew smiled, and Makoto smiled and nodded, "both of us being stuck in one most of the week. I was wondering where you'd like to go?" Andrew asked, and Makoto thought about this.
"Do you mind if we go to the park or something? It's a beautiful day!"
"Sure. We'll go buy a picnic first" Andrew smiled, and Makoto loved his thinking.
"Sounds perfect" she honestly said.

---

Seiya thought this scene looked all too familiar; Usagi's face getting more amazed at each house. It reminded him of their first date at the zoo. Each house Yaten and Seiya slowly walked around with their hands in their pockets while Minako and Usagi practically ran everywhere jumping about at every little thing. Each house was good enough for them it seemed, but Yaten was fussier.

"This one's so BIG" Usagi and Minako giggled, and Minako was the first to point out that this house had a pool, so they mustget it.

"We could build a pool anywhere," Yaten told her, "doesn't make this house the one" Minako turned to him with her hopeful puppy eyes and Yaten didn't say anything. He didn't want her to win, but no-one could say no to those eyes, "fine. What do you two think?"
"I LOVE IT!" Usagi practically danced, and Seiya nodded.
"It's a nice size" Yaten observed. It was about 10 times the size of their flat, which was perfect now that they were sharing it with others.
"This is a mansion" Seiya shrugged.

"Then we'll get it!" Minako smiled to the real estate who was still star stuck that Yaten was here. Minako threw her daggers then bounced off to Yaten's arm, and started looking all loved up.
"Ok, we'll take it" Yaten agreed and smiled softly. The real estate hearts turned into hearts and she nodded.

"I'll get the papers for you!"

"So Makoto and Andrew huh?" Seiya asked when Usagi was serving tea that night. She proudly nodded.
"Yeah-huh aren't they just so cute together?"
"but what about the other men? Who does she actually like?"
"Urm, well... I don't know. Makoto usually quite quiet about who she likes. She'll tell us if she thinks a guy's good looking or go on about her exs, but we don't always find out how much they meant to her until after," Usagi said, and then giggled at something tickling her foot, "stop it. Stop it!"

"Huh?" Seiya looked at her, and then under the table, where Diana was crawling. Seiya bent over to pick Diana up, and Usagi laughed.

"That's funny, for a moment there-"
"You thought I was playing footsies?" Seiya asked, raising a brow whilst trying not to laugh, then he placed Diana down and started to eat his tea, "you're not that bad at cooking now" Seiya said.
"Thankyou- hey!" Usagi gently kicked him under the table.
"Oh now you're playing footsies with me?" Seiya flirted and played with Usagi's feet under the table.

Taiki, Taiki, Taiki. Why'd he have to occupy her mind so much?

Here was Andrew, a gorgeous, smart and kind man who also loved to cook! What could be more perfect? And you had the biggest crush on him when you were 14. So why don't you see him as the one? Why are you still hooked up on Taiki? Taiki who's dating your best friend?

"So are you going to add a florist in your cafe when the other two leave?" Andrew asked, and Makoto nodded at the idea, "that'll be great. Then your dreams almost complete" Andrew smiled. See, he remembers stuff about you back from when you were 14.
"Almost but not quite" She laughed, and looked around the park. There were lots of families, and couples playing in the grassy areas, and dogs with their young friends.
"I'm sure you'll meet the perfect guy soon" Andrew told her. Something inside him was whispering that he was her perfect guy, but he tried to ignore that. He'd never seen Makoto in that way, but after their really long easy talk and picnic, Andrew sure how perfect Makoto really was for him.
"Hopefully" Matoko said, that was easier then Yeh, I already have but he's engaged to my best friend.

The next day, everyone including the three lights were at the cafe to hear Makoto's news. Makoto blushed when Taiki and Ami came in hand in hand and laughed when Seiya came in with his arm around Usagi and his other hand was patting the buns on her head. Minako practically dragged Yaten in, who looked like he was still asleep. Rei even brought Mamoru in, as it was his day off.

"So, how'd it go?" Mamoru was the first to ask, as Makoto dragged up a stool this time.
"Perfectly" Makoto smiled, and then sort of regretted it as Taiki was there.
"That's great" Rei smiled, and Minako lit up.
"All thanks to me!" she beamed, and Yaten slammed his head on the table hoping to use it as a pillow.
"Yeh. Well thanks Minako" Makoto smiled, then stared at the table in thought.

"Why do you look upset?" Minako asked, confused as Makoto had just told them her date with the handsome Andrew was a success.
"Huh?" Makoto looked up, forgetting she was with them, "Oh! Well I ur, about the fact I agreed to a date with Nephrite too a few days ago"

Everyone sweat-dropped expect for Seiya and Minako. Seiya chuckled then winked.
"Nothing wrong with- hey! Dumpling!" Seiya cried as Usagi hit him.
"You better be joking" she growled quietly.
"Of course, of course!" Seiya smiled, "your my one and only!"

"There's nothing wrong with keeping your options opened!" Minako winked, and Yaten raised his head off the table to give her a evil glare.
"Well, ur thanks Minako, but I honestly don't feel that big a thing for either. I just enjoy their company" Makoto said, hoping to end the awkwardness between Yaten and Minako, but Yaten now simply folded his arms and turned his nose up.

Everyone expect for Minako and Yaten sighed, as Minako was desperately trying to win her boyfriend back.

"I didn't mean – I would never – It's only cos she's single – but I -"

"Have you done it yet?" came a deep, unimpressed tone down the phone.
"Nearly" Nephrite answered.
"Nearly is not good enough" the voice replied, and Nephrite nodded.
"But what can you do about that?" Nephrite honestly asked and heard a growl.
"It'll be soon, I promise"
"Hurry, we're running out of time here" the voice snapped back and hung up.

Nephrite shoved his head in his hands. He was so dead.
