Chapter 6: Temple Terror
IcePrincess"I can't believe it, she's really doing chores," said Mina.
Usakoi"Where's Chad?" asked Lita.
"Over there at the bell," answered Mina.
They watched as Raye sweeped her way over to Chad. They smiled at each other and quickly looked around.
"Anyone over there?" asked Raye.
"No, anyone over there?" asked Chad.
"Nope."
She threw down the broom and flung herself into Chad's arms.
"I love you, Chad."
"I love you, Raye."
They kissed.
"Oh my God!" whispered Mina. "I can't believe it!"
"She's been doing a great job of hiding her relationship with him. She just told us last night that they were friends," Lita whispered back.
"Let's get out of here and tell the others."
IcePrincessIn Taiki's car...uh, limo...
"I think that Darien and Serena are following us," Amy whispered in Taiki's ear.
"Looks like you're right," he whispered back.
Amy looked across the seat at Greg, although the expression on his face was hard to read, it looked as if he was totally confused and slightly jealous.
Usakoi"Taiki, what did you tell him?" Amy whispered.
"I told him that you and I had tickets to a dance and told him to get ready to go."
IcePrincess"Where is this dance?" asked Amy.
"At The Club," said Taiki.
"That's an exclusive club, Taiki! Those tickets must have cost you a fortune!" said Amy.
"Amy, I think you're forgetting who I am," smiled Taiki. "Oh, my friends decided to meet us there so we've got extra time if you want to do something first."
"No, that's okay," said Amy.
UsakoiThey finally arrived at the Club. The mood was very cheerful inside, but in the group, everyone was uncomfortable.
"Ask her to dance," Taiki whispered in Greg's ear. He was pointing to Amy.
"I can't," Greg whispered back.
"Of course you can. Just go over there and ask her."
"But..."
"Now!" Taiki pushed Greg from his chair and he stumbled towards Amy.
IcePrincess"Uh, w-why aren't you dancing, Amy?" asked Greg.
"Nobody's asked me yet, Greg," said Amy.
"Aren't you here with Taiki?"
"Not exactly, he had some extra tickets for the dance tonight and asked me if I would be able to make use of them," said Amy.
"What about me?" asked Greg.
"That was Taiki's idea, Greg. I thought I heard Taiki tell you to ask me to dance. You might want to take his advise."
UsakoiGreg smiled. "Then will you dance with me, Mizuno?"
Amy nodded and let Greg pull her on to the dance floor. The music they played was enchanting. She loved every second of their dance. Greg spun her a few times. Their bodies were so close together, Amy felt as if she and Greg were one person. They danced the night away, not knowing that Serena and Darien had used the disguise pen to spy on them all night. If they had known, they wouldn't have cared. Just being together on the dance floor made everything right.
"Follow me," Greg said into Amy's ear.
He led her to the park across from the club. The flowers there were every color imaginable. They walked to a small bridge over a creek and stood and talked.
"Was the whole point of this to make me jealous, Amy?"
"Well, kinda. I like you a lot, Greg. But there's never been a time when it was just you and I. I don't like doing the cuddling in front of my friends. I mean, I'll be able to get use to it, but I'm not ready to do that in front of them." Amy sighed. "That's why I was so squirmy in the movie theater."
Greg smiled. He looked at her as she watched the water below them. The moonlight shown behind her hair making her look like an angel.
"Amy, I have to tell you something." She turned to him and he took her hand. "I've loved you since the day I first saw you. I've been trying to get your attention ever since I attended your school by competing with you on all of the exams. The only way I could get your attention was saving you from that construction beam. Amy, what I'm trying to say is," he pulled out a small box. "Will you marry me?"
He opened the box and revealed an engagement ring. It had a large diamond in the center with several tiny blue bubble-shaped surrounding it. Amy gasped. She couldn't believe her ears or her eyes!
"Greg, are you serious?!"
"Of course I am, Mizuno. Will you?"
IcePrincess"I... I... Oh, what am I supposed to say?"
Amy walked off the bridge and sat down on a bench. Greg followed her but didn't sit down.
"You could say yes, Amy."
"I know that's what you want me to say, Greg, but..."
"But what, Amy?"
"Oh, I don't know what, Greg. I really wasn't expecting you to come up with something like this out of nowhere."
"This obviously isn't the response I would have liked, but I never expected that it would leave you- Amy the genius- totally out of words," Greg said as he sat down next to Amy.
"What did you hope for then? That I'd fling myself into your arms and say how excited I was that you'd asked and of course I would?"
"It went something like that," said Greg. "So?"
Amy stared blankly at the bridge, wondering what would be the best thing for her to say. She had so many things running through her head at once it was hard for her to think straight.
"Amy?"
Amy looked at Greg. What was that in his eyes? Even to Amy it was obvious that love for her shone in his eyes, but there was something else there too. It was hard for Amy to figure out that the other feeling so plainly in Greg's eyes was fear. Fear that she would reject him, tell him that the one thing he really wanted would never happen. It was then that Amy knew beyond any shadow of a doubt- she wanted to give Greg an answer that he would be happy to hear, but she didn't have any clue how to go about telling Greg what he wanted so desperately to hear.
