Sorry, I just kept trying to add fluff but...my lack of romance probably shows. Here it is! Next chapter should be better, I'm looking forward to finishing the next chapter up!

Thanks for your continued support! Thanks to saxophone, toshiluver123, kittygirlthing97,Shiro-Tammy996, hailey-shiro, and Awesomeness02 for reviewing!

Thanks to my new followers and favoriters as well! I love getting the emails telling me that!

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or the mentioned song.

Momo managed to collect herself for the most part before quietly excusing herself from the room.

As soon as the door closed behind Momo, Rukia came around the corner with a couple of stylists and exclaiming, "There she is!" Momo got dragged off to Rukia's room this time, as Rukia decided to finally fill Momo in on the events happening.

"So tonight there will be an engagement party for you and Hitsugaya-san. It will have several important figures from both the Seireitei and Rukongai. You guys won't have to act lovey-dovey or anything like that, everyone knows you just met. Just make sure neither of you decide to start a fight for any odd reason. I don't really think that's anything to worry about. Smile at people, small chit-chat here and there. Remember that you are representing Seireitei's continued peace with Rukongai." Rukia noted.

To say Momo was nervous was an understatement, there were more than a few butterflies in her tummy, and she thought she could pass out sometime soon. Everything was a bit overwhelming. 'A bit' being yet another understatement.

By the time Momo was considered ready, she felt too tired to go anywhere. 'Since when did sitting still become so exhausting?' Momo wondered playing with her newly done curls. The finishing touches of Rukia's makeup were being done when a soft knock was heard at the door.

"Just a moment!" Rukia called out, which probably was not a wise idea because the next thing the girls heard was "OPEN THIS DOOR YOU DAMN MIDGET, IT'S TIME TO GO!"

Being called 'midget' hurt Rukia's pride enough to just stand up, and yank the door wide open revealing a Toshiro plus impatient Renji. "Who exactly is a midget?" Rukia was fuming, which is dangerous to encounter.

"Hey, time to go you said?" Momo intervened as she stood up and straightened her dress.

"Um, yeah. You go with Toshiro and I'm escorting Rukia" Renji nervously replied, fearing Rukia's wrath. "We need to go now. Byakuya and that Ukitake guy might get angry if we aren't there at the exact specified moment." Renji grabbed Rukia by the arm and started to the party, leaving Toshiro and Momo alone.

Toshiro dug in one of his pockets and brought out a ring. It had both white and yellow gold swirling together and a single stone set in it. "Ukitake said that a ring would make the engagement more…real I guess?" he slightly smiled as he brought it up for Momo to see.

"That's…nice?" Momo was unsure of what you do when your fiancé who you practically just met hands you a ring. (A/N: I only assume most people would be. I tried imagining it and putting myself in her shoes but I came up with no ideas for her response, kind of just winging this.) Toshiro silently slipped the engagement ring onto Momo's left hand before offering his arm to lead her to the party.

Rukia was just stepping off the last step of the stairs and continuing towards the stage area as Momo and Toshiro stood at the top, waiting to be announced.

"And now, our guests of honor, Toshiro Hitsugaya and the future Momo Hinamori-Hitsugaya" boomed the voice of an ever-cheery DJ. Momo glanced up at Toshiro's face for a second before greeting the crowd with a smile as she slowly descended the stairs. She was gripping his arm so hard that one would be surprised if the circulation was still present, but Toshiro acted like it was nothing as he tried to also keep up a small smile for the audience. They were the main attraction. Momo's dark blue gown and Toshiro's teal tie somehow matched, even though they were highly mismatched shades of blue. Looking at this appearance, the audience could think that no matter how different these two are, maybe they would belong together too.

(A/N: If that wasn't so short, I would stop there just because it sounds cute. But well, I still want to write about what happens next and such, so on I go!)

Halfway to the stage, Momo was about to lose her nerves. She saw Rukia giving her those guilty eyes and encouraging smile to continue on, she was almost there. Renji just winked at her. Byakuya had a sort of non-emotional look, as always. The face expression that she found most interesting was Ukitake's. He seemed sad, like he was losing something very precious, but he still had a gentle smile, like at the same time he thought it would all be better when the sun would rise in the morning. Of course, she stared too long at everyone and now her feet did one of their most famous acts-tripping and falling.

Normally, Momo would just fall, splat on the ground. This time she had a death grip on another person's arm, a person much stronger than herself. As she started falling forward, Toshiro's arm brought her back up. Toshiro just saved her from public humiliation…and a couple of bruises.

(A/N: Wow, I'm bad at this fluffy stuff. Yes, that was supposed to be fluff. I need to work on this.)

Once they reached the stage, Momo and Toshiro bowed together towards Ukitake and Byakuya as a sign of respect before taking their seats at a long table on the stage. Byakuya stepped forward to make announcements of everything that was currently taking progress, like the rebuilding of the West wing and hiring of wedding planners along with meeting proceeding about the marriage treaty. Momo hardly paid any attention, she was so nervous she refused to let go of Toshiro's hand even while sitting because she just really felt like she had to grip something tightly or fall apart altogether.

Once the announcements were over, servers entered the hall and handed out plates of food and drinks to the guests. Momo finally let go of Toshiro's hand and now instead was tightly gripping her fork as she ate her nerves away. Rukia would glance over at Momo occasionally but would not say a word until it was time to dance.

"Momo, time to twirl around on the dance floor." Rukia whispered into Momo's ear.

"Uh…what?" was the response.

"Dance. You and Toshiro. You know your fiancé. It's a party for you two after all!"

"I can't dance! I'll trip and fall! You want me to embarrass myself in front of the whole Seireitei?"

"Oh it won't be that bad, right Hitsugaya-kun?" Rukia turned towards him as reassurance, but instead received a glare.

"You want us…to dance? Are you insane? I don't dance, and apparently neither does she." Toshiro fumed.

"It's still a tradition so you two must lead everyone in dance so GO." With that, Rukia yanked them both out of their seats and shoved them towards the dance area, where Momo stumbled a bit before Toshiro corrected her posture by resting one hand on her waist and holding the other tightly in his own.

The first song started, most likely chosen by Rukia due to the fact that the song was her all-time favorite 'Kiss Me', and Toshiro took the lead and started dancing.

'I'll have to get Rukia for this later. What kind of song did she choose for this? It's just as embarrassing as having to dance in the first place!' Momo thought.

I love you all so much! I wish I could give you all cookies and hugs! Like my little sick puppy-dog, he's getting tons of love more than usual, and he gets a ton of love in the first place. Lols also, I recently got a Pintrist thanks to a friend and have been addicted to it...anyone have the cure? xD School is bugging me of course, why we go back on the 2nd of January is beyond my understanding. Hopefully everyone is having a great start to their 2013 so far!

Hopefully doing a good job of writing for you wonderful people,
