A/N: ok here's the next chapter. The next two chapters after this one will cover the time during the wedding. It will have some repetition but most of it will be different. This chapter is about what happens when Relena tells her friends. Oh, and by the way, in my opinion, Cathy and Trowa are not brother and sister. It's just my opinion though so please don't flame me because of it. Please review!
Relena's Last Fun Night Out
Relena drove her convertible towards Preventers' HQ. She was wearing a silver glittery halter top and jeans with glitter down the sides. Her hair was down and she had curled it. Her convertible was an AC 198 Chevy Caviler. It was black, and had a black top, which was down because of the warm weather. To most people she looked like a normal teenager. When she wasn't wearing the clothes she wore to political meetings, no one usually knew who she was. Relena liked it that way.
As Relena pulled into the parking lot, Hilde ran out to greet her.
"Hey, Rei, so are you ready for our big night on the town?"
"Of course! So what movie are we gonna see?"
"The Scorpion King!"
"Great. Now, who's gonna ride with who?"
"Well, Heero, Duo, you and me are gonna ride in your car. Trowa, Cathy, Quartre, and Candi are gonna ride together and Wufei and Lindsy are gonna drive their motorcycles," Hilde stated.
"Ok," said Relena. Candi was Quatre's girlfriend. They'd been going out for a few months. Lindsy was Sally Po's niece. Wufei met her at Sally's wedding. Relena smiled as she remembered the wedding.
They'd all been invited. Relena, Hilde, Cathy, Candi, Heero Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, Lucy, Milliardo, Lady Une, Dorothy, and a lot of other people including Sally's niece Lindsy. Sally was marrying one of the other Preventers. The wedding had been perfect. At the end Relena had caught the bouquet. Then came the reception. Sally had refused to have a conventional reception with a fancy dinner and dancing. Instead she had one at a roller rink. Lindsy got along perfectly with the other girls and, at first, all of the gundam pilots. Then they had decided to have a few harmless competitions. First, there was a race. Lindsy beat Wufei. Then they did the limbo. Trowa won. Wufei was busy sulking. Then they played musical chairs. Wufei won. Ever since, Wufei and Lindsy had been competing in everything to see who was the best. Usually, Lindsy won.
A few minutes later, everyone came out and they headed to the theater. Lindsy and Wufei raced there and obviously got there a few minutes ahead of the others who were actually going the speed limit.
"I told you Wuffie, I'll beat you on the way to the restaurant. You just got Luck this time!" Lindsy was saying as they got out of their cars.
"You think whatever you want, woman. I'll always be faster, stronger, smarter and sneakier than you!" Wufei yelled.
"Wanna bet?" As she said this, Lindsy grabbed Wufei and threw him into the next row of cars.
"Let's just go into the theater ok?" said Cathy.
They went into the theater and bought some snacks. They all liked the movie although they were interrupted frequently by Duo getting up to get more snacks. After the movie, they headed to Pizza Hut for a late dinner. Lindsy and Wufei were arguing about which part was the best. Candi and Hilde were talking about the Rock and Quartre was on his cell phone with some diplomat. Trowa and Cathy were trying to decide what to do in their new act. Duo was cramming breadsticks into his mouth. Heero kept looking at Relena and she was trying to avoid his gaze. Then, the waitress brought the pizza and everyone turned their attention to that.
After everyone had finished eating except Duo, they began to talk.
"This was a lot of fun. We'll have to do it again sometime,"
"Yeah, we will," they all agreed.
"How about next Saturday?" asked Hilde.
"I can't. I have to defeat Wuffie at a Martial Arts Competition on L1," said Lindsy.
"You aren't going to beat me!" said Wufei angrily.
"What about the Saturday after that?" asked Cathy.
"Can't. I have an important conference with a," at this point the paused and winked at Candi, who blushed, "client."
"The Saturday after that?" asked Candi quickly.
"Oh sorry! Trowa and I can't! We have to work that night!" said Cathy.
"I thought you two were on vacation," said Heero.
"We are. Until that Saturday." said Trowa. "Sorry."
"Ok, well, what about the Saturday after that?" asked Relena.
"I can't," said Heero. "I have to go see Dr. J on L1."
"And Duo and I are going to visit my mom in Hamburg," said Hilde.
"We're going to be in Germany for a whole week," added Duo. Then he continued eating.
"What about the Saturday after that?" asked Heero. No one said anything. Relena looked at everyone nervously.
Hilde smiled. "Great then we'll meet in the same place-"
"I can't." said Relena. Everyone waited for her to continue.
"Why?" asked Lindsy.
"I- I have to," she hesitated.
"What?" said Hilde. "C'mon, Rei, you can tell us."
"I have to get married." Relena said quickly.
Everyone went silent. Duo stopped eating.
"What!?!?" they all screamed at once.
"Rei, you joking right?" asked Cathy.
"I'm afraid not."
"Who is he and when and where did you meet him?" asked Candi.
"His name is Jeff and I haven't met him yet."
"Huh?"
"Remember how I found my mom?"
"Yeah," said Lindsy.
"Well, a couple of days ago, she got a letter from this king guy. See, before the Alliance captured the Sanq Kingdom, my mom and dad betrothed all their daughters. She thought that King Enrique would've forgotten but he didn't. Now I have to marry his son."
"Why didn't you tell us sooner?" asked Hilde.
"I didn't want anyone to find out."
"Re, isn't there anyway out of it?" asked Quartre.
"No, there's a contract and everything. Mom's still reviewing it with Milliardo and Lucy. They just found it today." Then the waitress came with the bill. They all chipped in and Duo paid the tip because he ate the most. They left and stopped back at Preventers' HQ.
"Re, I'm sorry there's nothing we can do," said Duo.
"Well can you all at least come to the wedding? King Enrique said I can invite as many guests as I want. And could you girls be my bridesmaids? Lucy is gonna be one, too. You'll all come, right?" Relena looked at them pleadingly.
"Of course we'll be there!" said Lindsy, Hilde, Cathy, and Candi.
"Us, too," said Wufei, Trowa and Quartre.
"Will there be a lot of good food?" asked Duo. Everyone smiled. Relena said there would be. Then she turned to Heero.
"Will you come Heero?" asked Relena.
"I wouldn't miss it," he said.
"Great. You'll all get your invitations in the mail. Thanks! Well bye!" and she drove off.
