Chapter Eight

"Ham"

"The rehearsal dinner," Fuu whispered as she checked her hair in the mirror.

Ferio placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, you dress isn't zippered in the back." Ferio pointed out.

"Yes, I know. I was going to ask miss Hikaru but she was busy chasing miss Nova. And then miss Umi and sir Mokona were running down the hall also." Fuu said with a sigh.

"Allow me ma'am," Ferio said with a smile.

Just then Nova came in. "AHHH!" She screamed. "I don't need to see this!"

Fuu blushed.

Ferio turned red. "No, you see I was zippering her dress UP."

Nova made a face. "So you WERE..."

"No miss Nova. We were not...." Fuu said as she shakily reached for her bracelet.

"That's what they all say..." Nova said as her eyes flashed. "See ya at the dinner table! We be having HAM!"

And with that Nova took off down the hall along with Nova2. The could hear her chanting 'ham' all the way down the hall.

Nova sat down at the really large table. Hikaru stood there with a worried look on her face.

"What's ah matter Hikaru-pie?" Nova asked sweetly.

"Someone rearranged the seating arrangement." Hikaru replied.

Nova looked even more shocked then when she saw Fuu and Ferio.

"Who could have done that?!" Nova cried.

"I don't know..." Hikaru trailed off as she eyed Nova slightly.

"I didn't do it!" Nova cried. "But don't take my finger prints..."

"What?" Hikaru said.

"Nothing."

Everyone started coming in and taking a seat just after Hikaru worked to put the place settings back in order.

"She ruined it all...." Nova sniffed.

Clef walked in wearing a rob, which was a lovely shade of pale pink.

"Ahhh-Haaahaa!" Nova said as she fell off her seat.

Nova2 was already on the floor rolling with laughter.

Everyone else in the room sweat dropped, except for Clef who was glaring at Lantis.

Primera flew into the room and looked around. "Where's my seat?"

Nova shrugged. "Maybe you weren't invited flying rat."

Primera pointed a finger at Nova but then blinked realizing there were two of them.

"Oooooh noooo! She's multiplying!" Primera cried before she fainted.

Nova2 picked Primera up off the seat she had landed on and threw her under the table.

"Hee-hee," Nova giggled as she gave Nova2 two thumbs up.

Everyone finally sat down at the table.

"So Ferio my man, how does it feel to be on your last night free?" Lantis asked.

Ferio shrugged. "No different from any other day."

"Now tomorrow is the big day," Hikaru said. "I bet Fuu's gonna be so nervous! she'll probably throw up and-"

Umi clamped a hand over Hikaru's mouth.

"Will she bleed?" Asked Nova2.

Nova nodded, "Yeah, will she?!"

Fuu started to get nervous even talking about it...

"HAM!" Nova screamed.

The ham was put down on the table while Nova drooled like a rabid animal...

"Ham, ham, ham, ham," the two Nova's chanted.

Fuu closed her eyes and giggled slightly. Both Nova's knew how to lighten up the mood.

"You know Clefie-poo, you look so hot in that pink robe." Said the leader of the Clef fan club, Umi-chan.

The other Umi glared at Umi-chan. She should know by now that Clef was hers!

'Think again Umi.' Thought Umi-chan. She smiled sweetly at Clef who smiled back.

"You really like the pink robes?" Asked Clef.

Umi-chan nodded.

"I like them more," said Umi.

"Nuh-uh!" Umi-chan cried.

Both girls got really big heads which were bright red as they clenched their fists.

Suddenly Nova bit into the ham.

Fuu sweat dropped.

"Just think, tomorrow's the wedding," Ferio whispered softly into her ear.

Fuu nodded. "I'm afraid..."
