Takao let out a yawn. The summer air was trying to get to blue hair teen. She still wore the male uniform, with had short sleeve top. She sat a table with Hilary, the two were eating ice cream.

"I wonder what was wrong with Akiyama sensei?" Hilary nibble on her ice cream while Takao stretch out her tired limbs. "Her classes are always filled with energy."

"You were actually listening in home economics? How could you when she was droning on and on?" wonder the blue hair teen.

"Gossip update!" Came sudden shout. Both Takao and Hilary nearly fell out of their seats. They then shouted at Masaru who appeared out of nowhere. "Eh? What do you mean? No matter, I heard Miss Akiyama has been acting spacing due to her engagement." Takao and Hilary stood up in surprise.

"She's engage?!"

"Yes, I know its surprising, after being single for thirty four years. She's finally getting married. The guy she's going to be is some low-end businessman. I heard he doesn't make a lot of money and is unable to give her a fancy wedding. But I guess when you love someone, that stuff doesn't matter." Takao shook her head. Hilary let out a soft sigh.

"No way! The person I'll marry is going to be super cool, and I'm going to have an awesome dress! And I'll have a chocolate cake that reaches the roof!" Takao smiled brightly. Masaru looked shock as he started weeping.

"You don't mean that do you Takao!" Hilary looked un interested in the matter.

Walking out of the tailor made dress shop was the home eco teacher. She was simply looking in appearances, with a messy bun on top of her head. She stared longingly at the long lines of fabrics that caught her attention.

"Akiyama!" came a shouted. Curious, the woman turn to see who was calling her. It was Haruna Sakurada, the English at the school she worked for. She was very familiar with the teacher. "Oh were you shopping for you wedding dress?" Akiyama blushed as she nodded her head. Haruna turned her attention towards the glass window and notice the different silks lined up, but notice the name of the shop.

"Oh Akiyama, I thought you were going to make you own dress?" wonder Haruna. Akiyama nodded.

"I was looking for silks, but I couldn't find any I like. None of these fabric fit my idea of design."

"No way! You must find that prefect fabric in order to make your dream dress! After all, I am counting on meeting my future husband at your wedding reception!" Haruna started laughing nervously.

"Oh! Then I guess I better work hard on that dress!" smiled Akiyama. An idea came to Haruna as she pulled Akiyama away, telling her of this awesome fabric store she knows about. Further down the sidewalk, Sergei narrowed his gaze onto the two women. He pulled a slip of paper from his pocket. He raised a brow. "She's the one, but she doesn't appeared to be full of energy." Murmured the Blond.

Takao walked along until the sound of cheering caught her attention. Looking through the gates, she noticed a wedding going on. Her eyes glaze over as she watched the bride and broom received attention. The bride was beautifully dressed and she looked prefect with her widen smile. Takao sigh happily at the thought of her own wedding; it was something she looked forward to. A happy giggled escaped her, until the sound of men caught her attention. There was big sign being putt up.

"Homemade wedding dress contest and the grand prize to a trip to Hawaii? Hmm…." Takao started to daydream at the mere thought of it. Then a thought occur to the blue hair teen. "I'm not very good at sewing." With a heavy sigh.

"Hey!" Spoke a familiar voice. "Even though it says a free trip to Hawaii, do you need a date right away!" They stumble over their words as they spoke. Looking over, Takao was surprise to see Maxine asking for details on the contest.

"The ceremony can be held whenever the grand prize winner wishes, but they need to get married inside my church." Spoke the guy. The group of women that surround the two, their eyes all lit up and began to make plans amongst themselves. Maxine snapped her fingers as she giggled to herself.

"Why hello there Max." The blonde jumped back in surprise for she was startled. "What are you doing here?" wonder the blue hair teen.

"Oh no reason!" the blonde giggled nervously. "Hey, don't you have a sewing machine at your place?" Takao looked surprised by the words.

"Why? Getting a little big for your uniform?" tease the blue hair teen.

"Erm… something like that! Let's go to your place!" Before Takao could question the blonde, the two were running down the street. Akiyama walked down the same street as the girls and notice the contest as well. Her eyes widen at the mere thought of winning the contest.

WwWwWwWwWwW

Entering the Kinomiya household, Takao declare she was home and had a friend with her. Going further into the home, the two girls heard a reply from the kitchen.

"Hello there girls!" Catherine stood at the counter with a smile upon her face. The air in the house smelt like fresh bake goods. Takao and Max both took a seat at the table.

"What are you making?" wonder the blue hair teen.

"Oh just pastry! Here is the first batch!" Went over to Tupperware container and reveal a cream filled pastry bun. "Its not custardy, even though I tried to make it. I'm just settling for heavy whip cream." Catherine had a faint blush upon her cheeks. Each of the girls had help themselves to the treat.

"Oh wow! This is delicious!" exclaim Maxine. Takao nodded her agreement as she stuff another into her mouth.

"I'm glad." Smiled the silver hair teen.

"You know," Catherine perked up. "This is great for a baking contest." Catherine's eyes widen. Her blush got even deeper as she began to gush. "No it is! And you could win awesome prize a trip to Hawaii!" Takao then narrowed her gaze onto the blonde before her.

"Hawaii!" Catherine giggled as her eyes began glaze over. "Oh Hawaii… would I like to go back." Came a heavenly sigh. Both girls perked up. Catherine quickly shook her head.

"Anyway! I was wondering if you could help me with make a wedding dress!" Both Takao and Catherine gasp.

"A wedding dress!" The two looked at each other. Takao looked away sheepishly; while Catherine decided to listen to Max.

"Yes there is a contest for best homemade dress and the grand prize to a trip to Hawaii!" Catherine lower her eyes in that strange way as though as she was planning something.

"So, you came to the only adult female you knew." Maxine nodded her head. "I see, and adult female who due to get married soon herself." Maxine wore a nervous.

"Erm… I don't understand."

"I'm hinting at that I am also joining this wedding dress contest," Takao and Max both gasp in horror.

"But Cat…" Takao looked meekly at the older teen.

"Don't but Cat me young lady." Takao flinch as she stuck out her lower lip. "I'll give you guys tips on how to make it, but you two are the ones doing most of work." Takao and Maxine both nodded their heads in agreements. "Right! Time to go fabric shopping!" Both teens looked confused by the mere idea at looking fabric, but followed the older teen.

WwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwW

In a fabric shop, bunch of women were fighting over different types of silks. Akiyama stared in awe at Haruna who was fighting off two girls for a piece of silk. Then a bundle of fabric came falling from the sky. Akiyama cautiously took grabbed the fabric from the floor. It felt nice within her grasp; she then realize it was silk. Her face lit up as she loved fabric.

"Its beautiful." Came deep husky voice. Akiyama curious looked around and notice a rather tall blond next to her.

"uh…" He gentle took the fabric from her hands and held it up the light. The threads were beautiful woven together and it impossible to see, and it sparkle in the light.

"This is wonderful silk." A faint blush appeared upon Akiyama's face as Sergei then wrapped the fabric around him. "Oh yes, this would make a beautiful wedding dress. Ah, yes, I can now see you, walking along the shoreline under the stars." He quickly murmured a words of magic under breath before wrapping the fabric around Akiyama. "It matches you beautifully." Akiyama had blush as she held onto the fabric.

WwWwWwWwWwWwWwW

Maxine frown her brow together at the complicated instructions for sewing. She was able to find some fabric to buy, but the silk was really expensive. The teen let out a heavy sigh. "This is going to be trouble." She paused when she noticed she bump into something. "Huh?" Looking up, it was the older blond. He looked down at her in surprise. "Oh! It's you! Spencer right?" The older blond nodded his head as he looked nervously down at the young girl, who giggled. She blush as she quickly hid the instructions. "Umm… Would you like to go grab some tea or something?" wondered the blonde. Sergei took a moment to think before nodding his head in agreeing.

Sitting in a familiar café, Maxine began to fidget with bag of purchases. Sergei, not being really curious, decided it would be a great ice breaker.

"So, what did you buy?" wondered the older blond. Maxine perked up.

"Oh! There is contest happening in area for the best homemade dress!" the blonde said excitedly. Sergei raised a brow in question. "Its… umm… A wedding dress contest." Maxine murmured the last part as her cheeks were bright red. Sergei flinched in annoyances. Once again, this blonde had found her way into one of his operations.

"Wedding dress eh?" Maxine perked up. "Who do you planning on marrying?" Sergei decided to play along. Maxine blush as she looked away from the older blond.

"No one in particular. Its just some friendly competition with my friend." Maxine continued. Sergei nodded his head. Maxine continued on about the contest and how her friend was getting so excited about it. For once, Sergei felt normal. He couldn't understand why this girl made him feel so comfortable, but it was something he was starting to enjoy. The older blond had to laugh at her story how her friend's cousin decided to join in on the competition with them. The younger blonde had paused in her story to stare.

"Heh, I'm sorry please continued." Sergei waved his hand. Maxine's eyes grew wide with delight. Sergei took a sip of his drink and turned his attention back to the blonde. "You are very interesting story teller Max." the blonde smiled. "I hope you have more." Sergei drop his voice to a lower tone, which made the young blonde blush. "But I need to get back to work. Let's meet again shall we?" Maxine nodded as she followed the older fellow out. Maxine watch Sergei disappeared from view before letting out a heavenly sigh.

WwWwWwWwWwWwW

The sun was setting, Takao let out a heavy sigh. Instead of hiding behind boys clothes like she usually did, the girl wore little shorts and tank top. She was out walking with Hilary, enjoying the fresh air. "Oi Takao are you alright?" wonder the brunette as she looked over her friend.

"Yeah… My cousin has Maxine and I working around the clock on making our wedding dresses." The blue hair teen let out a yawn. Dragoon followed the two.

"Oh… are you talking about the homemade wedding dress contest?" the blue hair teen nodded. "But you don't even have a boyfriend." Stated the brunette.

"Yes but you can have the ceremony whenever you choose it to be as long as you get married at their church." Takao yawned. "I'm hoping to see Miss Akiyama, hoping she might be a little more helpful than Catherine." Hilary nodded her head in understanding. The two teens stop at cross roads, and notice a short stubby man.

"Oh I wonder who that guy is."

"The bouquet and him don't go well together do they." Hilary comment.

"He kinda looks like a loser." Giggled Takao.

"You shouldn't say things like that." Hilary smiled nervously.

They continued to watch the man and noticed he had stop in front of Miss Akiyama's apartment. The two in surprise to see her fiancée. He knocked on her door and few more times. The two girls looked nervously at each other until the door flew open to reveal what might be Miss Akiyama. The two exchange heated words, before the fiancée left with a dishearten look.

"Oi! I can't believe that's Miss Akiyama." Hilary was shock.

"Oh no! She yelled out contest, if she's entering the wedding dress contest. I am sure going to have a hard time beating her!" whimper the blue hair teen. Hilary looked annoyed by the blue hair teen, but let her attitude slide.

WwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwW (The next day!)

Ray walked along the street, with Dragoon wrap around his shoulders. "So are you sure it was their Home economics teacher?"

"I'm positive, something seem off from her." spoke the dragon. Ray arched a brow in question as he walked into a store.

"Hey! Stop right there!" came a shout. Before the raven hair teen could react, he was head butt into the gut. The teen fell over in dizzy mess as the person who head butt gasp in shock. "Jack! Look at what you did! Your knocking out customers!" came familiar growl. "Now give me back my dress!" came a hiss.

"No! You've working on this stupid thing for three days! I hate it!" yelled the boy.

"Well you two quit it!" came more masculine shout. This aroused Ray from his dizziness. Looking up, there a mean looking Asian guy, holding the two blonds apart. "Both of you are being childish!" Maxine look insulted with her head up, while Jack just pouted. "Excuse me but I really need to deal with this family manner first!" smiled the older man. Ray nodded as he watch the two.

"[Jack! You shouldn't interrupt and steal sister's things while she is busy!]" the young boy's pout got even bigger. "[And Maxine! You shouldn't ignore your little brother.]" The older blonde just looked annoyed. "[I understand your busy, but maybe you should forget this contest if its coming too much for you.]" The blonde gasped in horror.

"[No! I've been working so hard on it!]" Came a whine. Maxine stomped her foot. Ray noticed the dark circles under her eyes. It appears she was getting carried away with this sewing contest.

"[That's enough young lady! You are exhausted and getting cranky for no reason, leave your project here and go to bed.]" It appeared the older man was able to control his tone and volume. He was talking to Max in a calm yet in stern tone. Maxine was about to protest, then she notice their customer was Ray, and he looked worried. The blonde let out a heavy sigh before complying to the order. The older man let out a heavy sigh, while Jack looked sad.

"Erm, sorry about that, but what can I do for you young man?" wonder the older man. Ray smiled uneasy at the man.

"Uh… I actually came to see Max, but seeing as she is grounded." The raven hair teen chuckled nervously. It was the man's turn to look embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, but it seems my daughter is distracted and doesn't have much time for friends, let alone family." Smiled the older man.

"It's all good. I heard my cousin was helping them." The old man seem to perk up.

"Cousin? Oh you must be Ray! Nice to meet you young man! I am Maxine's dad, Taro." He shook Ray's hand. The raven hair teen was surprise by the handshake. It was firm and gentle at the same time. "You got quiet the grip there young man."

"Heh, same with you. Anyway, I was asked to drop these off." Held out a cute paper shopping bag. Taro grabbed the bag and looked inside of it. It cause the man's face to drop. "Sorry, I'm not much help, have good day, see you around jack!" The older teen nodded.

WwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwW (The day of the contest)

There was a huge line up of women waiting to get into the hall, with suitcases. The owner kept on welcoming the ladies and thanks them for their participation. The trio stood outside the gate looking the line up. Takao, wearing her usual male uniform was whining at her digits. Each of them were wrapped up in bandages. Maxine just shook her head.

"I can't believe, I even had time to work on such a thing." The blonde looked refresh and happier. Ray just chuckled nervously as Dragoon sat on older teen's shoulder.

"And yet, Catherine was able to finish her dress?" Takao nodded.

"Anyway, we need to watch and see if anything suspicious happens. Takao, you're going to infiltrated the hall as a contestant." Dragoon narrowed his gaze.

"How? I don't even have a dress…" came a whine.

"Yes, but you have the dragoon disguise pen." Maxine comment, giving the blue hair teen a look annoyed. Takao's eyes went widen in realization.

"Oh… I totally forgot about it." The two other teens chuckled nervously as Takao took out pen-jeweled pen. "Moon Power! Turn me into a pretty bride!" Once the transformation was done, Takao was a little bit taller, but her body didn't fill out like it usual did. The dress was big and puffy, like a cupcake. It was something that a princess might wear, not a bride. "Heh, oh wow, look at me. I bet you wish had the pen too eh Max." The blonde chuckled nervously while Ray narrowed his gaze.

"If you win, you have to decline the prize." Ray informed. Takao let out a heavy sigh.

"I know…" The blue hair teen followed the others into the hall.

WwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwW

Takao blindly followed the other contestants into the hall. It was so dark, she couldn't see where she was going. She fell in line and wince when the light had shown on her. She didn't realize she was on the stage. She quickly pushed down any insecurities she had, and worn a bright smile. The lights went on one by one to reveal each contestant and their dress. Takao nervously looked up and down the line, but she couldn't see much.

"Ladies and gentlemen! We will now start the homemade wedding dress contest!" The man yelled excitedly into the microphone.

Ray curse as he met up Maxine. The young girl let out heavy pant. "I couldn't find the home economics teacher." Reported the dark hair teen.

"Me neither. I wonder where she could be." Wonder the blonde. "I wonder where Catherine is." Ray's eyes widen as he looked over onto the stage. The bright light got to him.

"Now please be quiet, so we can-eh?" The lights suddenly died down and start up again once the curtains were pulled back to reveal a beautiful bride in a showy dress. "Excuse me, we cannot have you doing unplanned…" He looked at the bride and got lost in her eyes.

"Shut up you stupid little man." He then got a dreamy expression.

"Oh my, you are my prefect bride, won't you please marry me?" The man let out a happy sigh before dropping down onto the steps with a daze look.

"Now, everyone! Surrender you energy to me!" yelled out Akiyama. Her eyes sparkle, catching everyone off guard. Something on her dress had glow causing everyone to fall down.

Takao was about to faint until Dragoon had poked his head out from underneath the layers of skirt.

"Takao! We can't be sleeping!" came a hiss. That brought the teen back to normal.

"Eh! Dragoon! You pervert! You saw didn't you!" came a hiss. The dragon wore a concern and annoyed looked.

"Takao now isn't the time." Like before, a monster emerges from the dress and took a form of a spider. The blue hair teen looked worried at the creature as it hissed at her.

"Who are you? And why are you still awake?"

"Hold it right there!" Came a shout. The monster and Takao both looked around. Then, from the ceiling, a huge sign came down playing the wedding march. The sign read happy couple. Both Ray and Maxine stood on top of the sign.

"A wedding dress is supposed to be a pure and eternal dream for young innocent girls!" Maxine got in fight stances.

"And no one is getting away with tainted such a pure dress!" Ray added in. Takao looked annoyed by the two.

"Hey! You two took all the cool parts! Arg! Just you wait! You are going be moon dust! Moon Prism Power!" Takao shouted as white blinding light consume her body. Then the other two join in the transformation. "I am the pretty sailor Soldier champion of Justice and love Sailor Wind!"

"Likewise, I am Sailor Water!"

"And I am the cool soldier Lighting!"

"And we will punish you!" the three shouted while posing. The creature flinched back before darting towards the them. Sailor Water and lighting jumped out of the way, but Sailor Wind got trapped into the spider likes web. The blue hair teen was crying out in anguish. Sailor Water gasp while Lighting cursed under his breathe. Sailor Water did her bubble attack, which caused a heavy fog across the playing field. Lighting went to Sailor Wind's aid. The blue hair teen was wiggling vigorously, trying her free herself from the webbing. Then a shriek escapes her as the weird spider monster started pulling on the webbing.

"Do something!" she yelled caused the raven hair teen to flinched. He wasn't sure what to do. "Ray!" She screamed even more. She wiggled so much that she fell on top of the older teen.

"Damn it! This stuff is like glue!" Lighting tried to pushed the blue hair teen off of him, but he was getting more tangled up in the webbing. Sailor Wind started crying as the spider was dragging off the two. Lighting tense up as the young teen wiggle right above him. "You need to stop wiggling!" came a groan. A pink blush was painted across the Lighting's cheeks. Sailor Wind did what she was told, but gave Lighting a pout. Now the older teen could force his attention to the situation at hand.

"What is taking you guys so long!" Sailor Water appeared from the fog. She whisper quietly. Watching as the two be dragged away a caused a look of disappointment appeared on the blonde. Sailor Wind looked terrified, and Lighting looked just plain frustrated.

"You need to get a hold of Soldier Fire!" Lighting hissed under his breath.

"Um… Okay but how?" Lighting wore a look of defeat as he let out a heavy sigh.

"Of course, the one time when we actually need the guy. We have no way of contracting him." Lighting let out a heavy sigh as Sailor Wind began wiggling again. A squeal of surprise escaped the blonde. Lighting looked up to see the fog had cleared up and Sailor Water was being covered by the spider's web.

"Now you are mine!" came a crackle. The spider monster then crawled up the wall carrying the guardians with her.

"That's as far as you go spidery." Spoke a new voice. Lighting had thought that Fire had came on his own. Looking around, Lighting had spotted a mask dragon like soldier. In their hand, they held something that looked like a scythe. The soldier had leaped up and cut them free. Then they used their weapon to cut Sailor Water free from her cocoon. The spider yell out in frustration as it went after the dragon warrior. The warrior was too quick, and made good work of the spider monster. The rest of webbing had disappeared. The dragon warrior strangely got down onto their kneels and began chanting a pray.

"What are you doing?" Sailor Wind got brave enough to approach the warrior. Lighting narrowed his gaze onto the warrior. His eyes widen in realization of the chant.

"They are praying for the demon." Sailor Wind looked surprise by the explanation. With that, the warrior stood up and began to head towards the exit.

"Hey! Where are you going!" The warrior paused in their movements. "Won't you stay?" Dragoon slither his way up onto Sailor Wind's head. The dragon warrior let out a heavy sigh before walking to the blue hair warrior.

"Teacher, it is shameful to see you in this state." The dragon warrior's voice came out distorting, messing with Sailor Wind's powers. The warrior flicks the tiny dragon before disappearing off. Leaving a confused teen and very confused lizard.

"Is that warrior?" Lighting came over, as did Sailor Water.

"What did they say?" wonder the blonde. Sailor Wind tilted her head in awe as she looked up at Dragoon. The little dragon was rubbing his bruising his forehead.

"They said, teacher, it is shameful to see you in this state… Dragoon? Do know who that is?" wonder the blue hair teen. Dragoon let out a whimper, but shaking off the feeling.

"No… But I have feeling commander centre is not telling me something. I've got go check in with them." Dragoon narrowed his gaze as he pounder his thoughts.

The next day!

The group watched it awe as Miss Akiyama and her new husband left the chapel. The crowd around them cheer and threw rice

"Awe, they look so happy." Takao stared at the new couple with a dreamy look.

"Then it's a good thing she won the contest isn't it." Ray pointed out. The blue hair teen stuck her tongue out at the older teen in good nature.

"I'm sure they would have been as happy with or without winning." Maxine added in.

"Hey, did you hear, if you catch the banquet, then you are the next one to get married!" Catherine pointed.

"Then those flowers are mine!" The older female teen was weird out by the sudden appearances of Takao's English teacher. Both Max, Takao and Haruna wore looks of determination. Akiyama threw her beautiful banquet into the air and all three fought over it. Then it landed in Ray's hands, whom had a pink blush upon his cheeks.

"Oooh Ray! Is there a special girl you aren't tell us?" teased Catherine. Ray looked embarrass as he began to quietly under his breath.
