Lita walked through the kitchen, and started the burners. It was a little after noon, and the cooks and employees were expected to show up for their shifts in half an hour. The cloths were neatly folded and cleaned. Lita walked around to each table, dressing them nicely, and replacing the old carnations with the new ones that were delivered daily. Quietly, the back door opened and shut. 'No one is supposed to be here now!' Lita realized as she plastered herself to the wall closest to the kitchen. She grabbed a plate and held it by her side. 'As soon as they walk through the door, I can knock them out-cold.' She stopped and placed the plate on the table. 'On second thought, why let the plate have all the fun?' The kitchen doors slowly opened, and a figure entered the room. "HIIIIIIIYA!" Lita sprang out of the shadows and pounced onto her prey, who kicked her off with out a moment's hesitation. Lita back-flipped and sat in a poised position. 'This guy's tough!' She thought, hands up by her face. 'But I'll take care of that!' A familiar voice broke her thoughts. "Lita?" She looked up at the intruder. "KEN! Oh my gosh!" She lost her position and ran over to him. "Did I hurt you? Are you OK?" She asked worridly. Ken just smiled. "Nope, luckily, I was kind of expecting something like that. I shouldn't have snuck in like I did. At least I was at the last two defense classes you girls had, or I might have been toast." Lita smiled. "More like fettachini" she mummbled under her breath. Ken grabbed her wrists and stared into her eyes. His gaze was somewhat different than usual. His eyes were still soft, and caring, but something stirred them a little. Lita broke from the disturbance in his eyes. "What's wrong?" She demanded more then asking. Ken held her waist between his hands and took a deep breath. "Lita, I have something to tell you." His voice quivered and his eyes were shinning brightly. His grasp on Lita tensed as he spoke. "I've been hiding something from you for the past few weeks. It's a secret that I've had, but I didn't want to say anything for a while." Lita stood, speechless. 'Oh G_d, he's going to break-up with me. 'Sorry, Lita, I'm seeing someone else.' or 'I'm leaving town and never coming back'? Oh this isn't fair!' She was lost in her thoughts as Ken pulled out a black velvet box. She stared at it in confusion. "I stopped by OSA-P about a month ago, and found this..." He handed her the box. She carefully opened it. Inside a group of Emerald stones sat in a setting of the Jupiter sign on top a gold band. Lita's handes began shaking as she stole a glimpse of Ken, on his knee. He took the ring out of the box and placed it on her finger gently. "Lita Kino-will you marry me?" He looked into her teary eyes as she looked back into his hopeful ones. Lita broke down into sobs and hugged Ken, throwing him off balance. "Yes, Ken. Of course I'll marry you!" The two laid there for a few seconds, and soon, were sharing a deeply romantic kiss. A large mass of people hooted and holleredfom the kitchen doorway. Ken and Lita looked at the staff that had come in for their shifts and had been watching the whole scene. Lita's face turned red with anger, and everbody's face dropped. They screamed and backed into the kitchen. If it was one thing they knew-it was not to mess with Lita Kino. Lita turned back to her fiancee, a smile on her face. "I should become an actress." Ken smiled-glad she wasn't upset. They moved closer when a beep rang out from Lita's apron. They let out sighs and Lita took out the communicater. "LITA! Where are you?" Mina's voice screamed. "we're all at the mall waiting for you!" Lita smacked herself in the head. "Oh, I forgot!" Mina tried to look over Lita's shoulder through the communicater as she saw Ken's foot. "Am I interrupting anything?" She asked, as Lita moved he communicater closer to her face. "Now, Mina, dear..." she stated cooly. "IS THAT ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS?!" Mina giggled. "See you in a few!" She disconnected her side. Lita looked at Ken. "Gotta book it!" She gave him a kiss and darted through the kitchen. As she left, Ken heard her screaming. "OK SHOW'S OVER! BACK TO WORK!" Her head peeked out the door. "Ken-you're in charge!" And with that, she headed to the mall.

"Hold still, Serena!" Rae spoke through clenched teeth as she tried to fasten the back of Serena's Dress. "OW. Rae, I...can't...breath...OOF!" The back snapped open, causing the dress to fall to the floor by Serena's feet. Serena stood there gasping for air. Rae had a sweat drop on her forehead. "Guess it was too tight" she said, scratching her head. Serena turned and looked at her. "What was your first clue?" Ami, Lita, and Mina entered the dressing room, seeing the dress on the floor, and Serena standing in her white peddle-pushers and matching sports bra. "Guess it didn't work out" Mina said as she walked over to the dress and picked it up. "I never would have imagined that finding a wedding dress would be so hard." Lita exclaimed. She handed the hanger to Mina. The girls stared at Lita in shock. "Lita! Why didn't you tell us?!" Mina dropped the dress and grabbed Lita's hand, examining the ring on it. Lita blushed. "Whoops. Where'd that come from? hehe..." Lita was embarrassed. "Wow! When did this happen?" Serena exclaimed. "And, yeah, why didn't you say anything?" her face pouted. "Well, I didn't want to step in on the special moment. This is your time to shine. I figured I could tell you guys after the weddings." Serena looked at Lita with a confused expression. "Lita," Rae said sympathetically, "You're special too. And why not say anything when we're at the stores picking stuff for the other weddings? We could help you." Serena grabbed Lita's arm and handed her the dress she had just tried on. "Your turn!"
After a few hours, the girls were still looking around the store. Ami had found a dress that suited her perfectly, but the others were going nuts. "Hey, I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready to give up here"
"Serena! I've had enough of your whining! You're so irresponsible, lazy..." Rae began, and Serena just started to walk away (Something she had been practicing for a while), but Rae followed close behind, still trying to argue with her. Suddenly, Serena stopped walking. She stared up at something. "Wow." she whispered, ignoring Rae. "and furthermore..." Rae followed Serena's gaze and froze. Ami, Lita and Mina gathered around the two. They all quietly awed the dress in front of them. It was white and silk. The sleeves were long, and the end looped over the middle finger of the mannequin, and the collar lightly shimmered with diamonds. The back of the dress had a large silver bow that brought out a thin trail of lace. The dress itself looked as if it could only fit the frame of a person's body that was small and frail. Serena reached out and looked at the price tag. $550. The other girls peeked over her shoulder, then all gazed up at the dress. "It's mine!" Someone rang out. The girls all sprung for the dress. The clerks watched as they fought over it, hearing parts of the "discussion".
"No fair!"
"I'm the only one who can fit in it!"
"Mina! Let go! You're not getting married!"
"I'm the one who's getting married first!"
"Hands off Meatball Head!"
"HIYA!"
"OW! Lita!"
"Ami! You already have a dress!"

"So, how about this one?" Darien asked nervously. "Nah, I don't think that one is 'YOU' ya' know what I mean?"
"C'mon Andrew! We've been here for two whole hours, and you haven't liked one tuxedo yet." Andrew's face dropped. "Well maybe that's because I've been through this before, so I know what to look for. This is YOUR wedding, Darien. You have to look special" Darien sighed, then he smiled. "OK, there's one more to try on, I'll be right out." Darien entered the dressing room, and quickly transformed into Tuxedo Mask. He removed the mask and held the hat in his right arm and walked out of the dressing room. Andrew smiled and sat up straight. "That's perfect!" He exclaimed. Then his smile dropped. "It missing something...How about a cane and...maybe a mask?" His smile returned yet he still looked confused. "That ensemble looks familiar though..." Darien had to keep himself from laughing.
