Author's Note: Sorry again for the delay! I've had a lot of stuff going on, but hopefully it will be resolved soon. Thanks to all the loyal readers who continue to read my fic and enjoy it, I really appreciated it! So, I've run into some problems with writer's block... so I'm really trying to pull off how the guys spend the day with the girls because I have A LOT of good ideas for the girls' night out... I just need to get the other chapters out of the way haha! Anyways, review 'cause I love it :D
Chapter 10: The Morning of the Best Day Ever
"Oh, come on Cecile! Wear your little pink dress to dinner!… But it's my day!… Oh really? At the dry cleaner's? I can't remember dropping soy sauce on it…So is that your final answer?… hello? Hello?" Sai Sachi sighed and hung up the phone. "Looks like Cecile won't be wearing that cute pink dress I love. What a bummer."
"Call her back and demand that she wear it because it's our day tomorrow!" Chibodee slowly put down a stack of white note cards and turned towards Sai Sachi. He grinned and punched the air with his fist in a victorious gesture.
"Now, now Chibodee. That's what's called a 'sour winner.' There's no need to brag about our victory. I'm sure the girls feel bad enough about it." Even though that's what came out of George's mouth, he had a huge smirk across his face.
Sai Sachi shrugged his shoulders. "She said it was at the dry cleaners anyway; something about me dropping soy sauce on it from our last date or something. Oh well, would have been nice though."
The guys had spent the better part of the day lounging around in George's quarters after the night of Cops and Robbers.
As gundam fighter for Neo-France, George had a large room at the French embassy on Earth. Of course the room was not as big as the Princess' room, but it was still grand in its own way. The main room had an enormous bed in it. Walking further into the room revealed glass windows from the ceiling to the floor, overlooking the embassy garden that they had played in the night before. There were a few couches and chairs arranged by the windows and a small coffee table too.
Chibodee had been gleeful all day long and was really getting on all of the gundam fighters' nerves.
Sai Sachi sat cross-legged on the floor as he stared up at Domon, who was lying down on George's couch, his eyes closed as he tried to tune out Chibodee's humming.
"Hey bro, so whatcha gonna do with Rain tomorrow?"
Everyone became quiet and looked towards Domon. Even Chibodee stopped humming for the time being. They had been talking about their own plans for most of the day. Even Argo had revealed what he was doing to do with Nastasha. Everyone, except Domon, had contributed to the conversations and excitement.
Domon opened his eyes slowly and nearly fell off of the couch from the surprise of what he saw.
George, Chibodee, and Sai Sachi were all gathered around the couch, their faces looking at Domon expectantly. Their faces were about 5 inches away from Domon's. He sweat-dropped as he thought of his response.
"Uhh truthfully…"
"Yes…?!" They leaned closer to him. Out of the corner of his eye, Domon could see Argo's gaze flicker to him.
"… It's a surprise."
"Ughh!!" They looked at Domon with disgust.
"That's hardly fair, Neo-Japan! We all shared our plans about what we were gonna do with the girls tomorrow." Chibodee shook his head angrily.
"I agree… with Chibodee." George grudgingly nodded his head as he looked at Domon with a solemn expression.
Domon raised his eyebrows slightly. George never sided with Chibodee. They must seriously want to know.
Sai Sachi pouted. "Come on, bro! We're all just curious! It's not like we're gonna steal your technique or anything."
Argo suddenly stood up and put the newspaper on the table. His eyes flashed towards Domon. "Domon Kasshu, just tell us."
That was the it. Domon couldn't hold his laughter back any longer. Even Argo was getting nosy.
"This is hardly funny, Domon." George scolded angrily. "I don't understand why the secrecy is needed. I already told you that I was going to take Miss Marie Louise to the famous Rose Festival. I'll buy her whatever kinds of flowers she wants and after that we'll go back to the garden to plant them."
"Yeah and I'm going to take Cecile to the beach. I'll teach her how to surf and we'll play beach volleyball." Sai Sachi added quickly. He only actually knew how to surf a little bit but he was sure it would be okay.
Chibodee began to recite what his plans were as if he had memorized them. Domon smirked slightly. Maybe that's what those note cards were that Chibodee was holding all morning.
"I'm going to take the gals to a haunted house and then we're going out for lunch!" He grinned stupidly.
"Yes, and Nastasha and I will enjoy a quiet day in my pirate spaceship. Now that it has returned to Earth, I will give her a tour of it and cook her dinner. I'm quite good at it." Argo smiled before his face was blank again.
"There you are, Domon," George began with an slight frown, "We have all revealed our plans. Now it is your turn."
Domon sighed deeply and moved his legs off of the couch as he sat up. He leaned towards the other gundam fighters and looked around at them as if to tell a secret. He gestured to them to come closer. "First, I'm going to pick up Rain in my gundam by the pier…"
"Go on!" Chibodee stared at the Neo-Japan fighter with excitement.
"…Then I'm going to ask her to jump aboard my gundam…"
"Yes… and then?!" Sai Sachi cut in, his expression eager.
"… When she finally goes inside the gundam with me, I'm going to grab her and then…"
"And then…?!" George's face was serious.
All of the fighters were thinking what else Domon could have planned when both he and Rain were alone inside Burning Gundam.
Domon shrugged his shoulders. "And then… well, that's private."
"HUH?! NO WAY! TELL US!!"
Domon jumped off of the couch and practically ran out of the room as his fellow Shuffle Alliance members attempted to strangle him.

"Well, I'm going to head out then. I plan to meet Cecile early and get in as much time as I can with her." Sai Sachi was dressed in a light yellow shirt that had large Hawaiian flowers on it. He wore his swim trunks and grabbed two large surfboards as he attempted to open George's door. "See ya later!"
"I'm leaving too. I want to check on some things in the garden before I pick up Miss Marie Louise. Good luck, gentlemen." George swiftly walked to the door and it shut lightly behind him.
Chibodee ran around the room frantically.
"What is it, Chibodee?" Argo asked out of boredom. He was getting a little irritated by Chibodee's behavior. It seemed like the Neo-America fighter hadn't shut up since yesterday; even when he slept, the man needed to snore and mumble. Argo was slightly surprised that George hadn't kicked him out of the room by now.
"Ah hah! Found it! Well, I'm off guys. Remember not to have too much fun!" He grinned at Domon and Argo before he ran up to Domon.
"Here ya go, Domon. I'll guarantee you'll find a use for this." He pressed a box into Domon's hands and winked before prancing out of the room.
Argo raised an eyebrow at Domon and Domon shrugged his shoulders. Argo got up from his place on the couch and walked to the door. He paused, his hand resting on the doorknob. "Domon Kasshu, I will not attempt to uncover any more of your plans today with Rain Mikamura. Just know this; this is your chance to do whatever. You can tell her whatever is on your mind or how you truly feel about her. This time, you will be alone. There is no Dark Gundam forcing you to unveil your feelings. This is a chance for all of us to be honest with the women we love. I for one will not hold my feelings for Nastasha back any longer. I know you will not let this opportunity go to waste." His voice was serious and void of expression as he spoke.
Domon nodded his head, his gaze on the floor. The door shut silently and Domon was left by himself. He flopped back onto the couch as he looked up at the ceiling. "Yeah, today's the day for… anything. Oh, Rain…"
What plans does Domon have for Rain? What's in the box Chibodee gave to Domon? And just what is going to go on when Argo and Nastasha are alone in Argo's pirate spaceship with Nastasha wearing a Playboy bunny suit?! Stay tuned for more!! Review, pleaseeeee :D
