Recap:
Without saying another word, Lindsey left the store.
'Damn you, whoever bought my dress. I hope your wedding is ruined!
Now I have to
find another dress. On second thought, I better think of a plan to
separate Selenity and
Endymion first. If my plan doesn't work, then I'll just have to crash
their little wedding.
No matter what, I'll be the one in the wedding dress, walking down
the aisle, not
Selenity. I'll do anything to marry Endymion, even if it means I have
kill Selenity.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Selenity and the girls were finally at the house. They entered the living
room and plopped
down on the couch.
"What a day." Selenity said, letting out a deep sigh.
"Ditto." Minako said.
"You guys want something to drink?" Selenity asked. The girls all nodded.
As Selenity
was getting up from her seat, they heard someone call for Selenity.
"Selenity? Is that you?" they heard someone say.
"Who is that?" Minako whispered to Selenity. Before Selenity could answer
her, James
walked into the room.
"Welcome back, Selenity." James said, hugging her. "How was your trip?"
"It was great." Selenity said.
"That's wonderful. And who are these lovely young ladies?" Selenity
turned around to
look at them, seeing that they had a nervous smile on their face. They
all gave Selenity a
'who-the-hell-is-he?' look.
"Oh. These are my friends. They're going to be my bridesmaids."
"I see. Care to introduce me to them?"
"Oh, of course." She turned to the girls. "Girls. This is my father,
James." The girls
wanted to gasp, but they knew it would be impolite. They smiled instead.
Selenity turned
to James. "And these are my friends: Ami, Makoto, Minako, and Rei."
"Nice to meet you." they all greeted.
"It's nice meeting you, too, ladies." James turned his attention to
Selenity. "Well, I better
get going now. Just so you know, I'll be in my room. Your mother is
somewhere in the
palace and Endymion is in his room." James said.
"Okay, Father. Thank you." Selenity said.
"Oh, and I'll get you girls those drinks." James said. "Go ahead and
sit down, Selenity.
I'll be right back." With that, he left and headed for the kitchen.
After he was gone, the
girls talked.
"Wow. That's your dad?" Ami asked.
"He looks young." Makoto stated.
"He looks cute. No wonder your mom married him." Minako said dreamily.
Everyone
gave her a strange look. "Oh. Did I say that out loud?" Minako asked,
blushing.
"Well, it's cool that you have your dad back. I hope things go well
between you two."
Rei said.
"Thanks, Rei." Selenity said. Soon, James was back with the drinks.
He placed the tray of
drinks on the coffee table in front of them.
"Here you go. Enjoy. Now, if you'll excuse me. I have work to do." James said.
"Thank you, sir!" the girls said simultaneously.
For a while, the girls sat and talked. Soon, Selenity called for her
personal attendant, Lily.
In time, she came.
"You called, Selenity?" Lily said while bowing.
"Yes. I did. My friends and I will be going down to the dressing room.
Please inform my
mother and Endymion of my whereabouts. If my mother wishes to see me,
she may come
down to the dressing room, but Endymion may not. If he asks why, tell
him I commanded
it. I can't let him see me in my wedding dress." Selenity said, smiling.
"Okay. I'll take your dresses down there for you." Lily said.
"Okay. Thanks, Lily." Lily smiled and took the dresses down to the dressing
room. Soon,
the girls got up and Selenity was leading them to the dressing room.
When they entered
the dressing room, Selenity's dressmaker greeted them. Selenity hugged
her dressmaker,
Diane.
"Hey, Diane."
"Hey, Selenity. Oh my god. This is great! You're getting married!" Diane
said happily.
"I'm going to be invited, right?"
"Of course." Selenity said, smiling. Diane turned to the others.
"Okay, girls. Show me the dress." Selenity took out a bridesmaid dress.
She handed it to
Diane. Diane looked at it and held it out in front of her.
"Ooohh! This is a beauty! Did you pick this out, Selenity?" Diane asked.
"Yeah, I did. But I couldn't have done it without the help of my friends."
Selenity said,
looking at them. They smiled sheepishly.
"Okay. Let's get their measurements to make sure that these dresses
fit. We also have to
add the royal emblem to these dresses. Especially to your dress, Selenity."
Diane stated.
"Okay." Selenity said. Diane smiled.
"Okay. Ami, you stand on that platform. Rei, you stand on that one.
Minako, step onto
that one, and Mako, you can stand on that empty one." Diane said, pointing
to different
platforms. The girls took their places on the platforms. "Okay, girls.
Someone will be
coming to each of you shortly. They will be taking your measurements
and they will alter
your dress, okay?" Diane said.
"Okay!" the girls said together.
"Great! I'll be in the back working on Selenity's dress and taking her
measurements."
Diane said. There was a curtain that separated the large dressing room
into two separate
"rooms." Soon enough, people came into the room to work with the girls.
Diane pulled
the curtain that separated the rooms.
// Twenty minutes later \\
Soon, everyone had their measurements taken. Diane told Selenity and
the girls to come
back later.
"I'll tell you when they're done. Right now, we're going to alter them.
They should be
done before dinner." Diane said.
"Okay. Thanks, Diane." Selenity said.
"No prob, hun." Diane said. Soon, Selenity and the rest went up to Selenity's
room to
hang out and chat.
// At the Yuki Kingdom - Lindsey's room \\
Lindsey sat at her vanity, looking through a bridal magazine. She was
looking at the
various dresses in the magazine. She also looked at bouquets, and rings,
and tuxedos, and
flowers. She closed the magazine and let out a sigh.
"I can't wait 'til Endymion and I get married. We'll be so happy together.
As soon as I
get rid of Selenity, he'll forget all about her and fall deeply in
love with ME!" Lindsey
said as a sly smile crossed her face. "One way or another, I'll get
rid of Selenity and
Endymion will be madly in love with me." Lindsey let out an evil giggle.
"I can't wait!!"
Lindsey said.
// At the Moon Kingdom - Selenity's room \\
Selenity and the girls talked, laughing and kidding around. Their fun
was disturbed when
someone knocked on the door. Selenity got up to open the door.
"Why, hello, Mother." Selenity said.
"Hello, Queen Serenity!" the senshi said while bowing their heads.
"Hello, Selenity. Hello, girls." Serenity said while bowing. "Lily told
me that you all got
your dresses. I'm so excited to see them! Are they ready yet?" Right
when Selenity was
about to answer her mother, the intercom emitted a beeping sound, signaling
that
someone was calling through the intercom. Selenity pressed the 'TALK'
button.
"Yes?" Selenity said.
"Selenity? It's Diane. Everyone's dresses are ready!"
"Okay, thanks." Selenity said. With that, she pressed the 'END' button.
Selenity turned
to her mother. "Does that answer your question?" Selenity asked while
trying to hold
back a giggle. Serenity smiled.
"Yes, it does."
"Well, come on! Let's go try them on!" Rei said excitedly.
"Okay. Let's go." Selenity said. Everyone headed out the door and went
straight to the
dressing room.
// At the dressing room \\
The second Selenity opened the door, the servants handed them their
dresses. They all
went to change into their dresses. Soon, everyone was dressed. Diane
had pulled the
curtain so that each girl could come out one at a time. Ami came out
first. Then Rei came
out. Then Makoto and then Minako. They all smiled and commented each
other, smiling
happily. Diane came out from behind the curtain.
"Ladies. Get ready to..." Diane was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Can someone
get that?" Diane asked.
"I'll get it." Queen Serenity said. She opened the door. "Well, well,
well. You're just in
time." Serenity said to James.
"Thank god. I saw a swarm of girls coming down here, so I decided to
see what was
going on." James said.
"Well, shut up now. Diane is about to present Selenity in her wedding
dress." Serenity
said. James blushed a little.
"Sorry." he said in a whisper. Diane cleared her throat.
"Ladies.....and gentleman. Prepare to behold a sight too beautiful for
words. I present to
you....Princess Selenity." Everyone stayed quiet as Diane drew back
the curtain. Soon,
Selenity was revealed. Selenity stood on the platform, blushing. Everyone
gasped at her
beauty.
"Oh my god! Selenity! You look so beautiful!" Minako said. The rest
agreed with
Minako. They all gathered around Selenity. While the girls admired
Selenity and her
dress, James stood silently next to Serenity.
"Look at her. Our daughter. She's so beautiful." James said quietly to Serenity.
"Yeah. If only you could've seen that before you left." Serenity replied.
"Oh, come on. Not here. Not now. Please, just let go of the past. I'm
sorry for what I did.
That's why I'm here. To show you that I've changed." James whispered
to Serenity.
Serenity had no reply. Soon, Selenity stepped off the platform and
walked to her parents.
She smiled nervously.
"So...what do you guys think?" Selenity asked.
"I think it's beautiful." Serenity said.
"And I think you're beautiful." James added. Selenity smiled happily.
She hugged the
both of them.
"I love you guys." Selenity said. When they parted, Selenity smiled sweetly at them.
"I can't believe it. My little girl. Getting married!" James said. "
I can't wait for the
wedding day."
"Yes. I can't wait for the wedding." Serenity added. Selenity smiled
even more. Selenity
turned to her father.
"You'll walk me down the aisle, right?" Selenity asked nervously. James
smiled as a tear
came to his eye.
"Of course I'll walk you down the aisle." he said. He took his daughter
into his arms and
hugged her. Selenity turned to her mother.
"And you'll be there in the bridal room with me? And sitting in the
front row with Father,
right?" Selenity asked. Serenity was hesitant to say yes to sitting
with James, but she said
yes anyway.
"Of course I'll be there." Serenity said. She too hugged Selenity. Selenity
smiled. Diane
clapped her hands twice. Everyone looked at her.
"Well, now that I have your attention, will everyone please leave so
that these young
ladies may change?" Diane said. Without a word, everyone left. Even
after everyone left,
no one had changed out of their dress yet.
"Oh my god, Selenity. Your dress is so beautiful!!" Rei said. "I'm so
happy for you." Rei
hugged Selenity.
"Thanks, Rei." Selenity said with a smile.
"Do you have any idea how good you look?" Makoto asked jokingly.
"You're going to blow everyone away at the wedding!" Ami said. The girls
all nodded
their head in agreement. Selenity blushed.
"Well, I think you guys look so great in your dresses! You all look
so beautiful in them!!"
Selenity said happily. The girls all blushed. Suddenly, someone knocked
on the door.
"Who is it?" Diane asked.
"It's Serenity. The wedding planner is here. She has brought some stuff
with her. Is
Selenity and the senshi still in their gowns?"
"Yeah. They are. You can come in."
Serenity opened the door. The wedding planner followed Serenity into
the room. Serenity
introduced the wedding planner.
"Everyone, this is Sandy. Sandy, these are the people you will be working
with. But
you'll be working mostly with the one in the wedding dress." Serenity
said, giggling a
little. Sandy extended her hand to Selenity.
"Nice to meet you." Sandy said.
"Nice to meet you." Selenity said, shaking hands with her.
"You have an absolutely beautiful dress." Sandy said.
"Thank you." Selenity said.
"Did you get a veil to go with that yet? Or any accessories to go with
the bridesmaid's
dress?"
"Umm....no. Not yet." Selenity said.
"Okay. Why don't we start now?"
"Okay, sure."
"Great. Let's begin." Sandy snapped her fingers. Immediately, people
brought in different
veils and bridesmaid accessories. Selenity and the girls were stunned
by the number of
items that were brought in. Sandy smiled. "Okay. Let's start with your
veil." Sandy
suggested. For about an hour, Selenity and the girls picked out the
veil and bridesmaid
accessories they wanted. Sandy took a quick look at her watch.
"It's been an hour now and we have all the accessories chosen. That's
wonderful. I'll be
seeing you again soon." Sandy said.
"Okay. It was great working with you." Selenity said, shaking Sandy's hand.
"Great. I'll see you all later! Bye!"
"Bye!" Soon afterward, Selenity and the girls changed into their normal
clothes. They all
headed up to Selenity's room to rest. When evening came, the girls
went home satisfied
with the progress they made in one day. Selenity fell asleep easily
that night. But for
someone else, it wasn't as easy.
// At the Yuki Kingdom- Lindsey's room \\
"Damn it! Why can't I think of a good plan to separate Selenity and
Endymion? I've
thought of everything I could. They all seemed like the perfect plan,
but nothing worked!
Geez, are they stuck together with Crazy Glue or something?" Lindsey
let out a sigh of
frustration. "Damn that bitch, Selenity. If she didn't exist, this
would be easy. If only she
was out of the picture, I'd be able to do this! Come on, Lindz. Think!
There's gotta be
some way to break them up." Lindsey threw herself on her bed. She stared
at the ceiling
for a while, trying hard to think up a plan to break Selenity and Endymion
up. Suddenly,
she sat up in her bed. "Oh.....my.....god!!! Why didn't I think of
this sooner?!?!? I don't
have to break Selenity and Endymion up in order to get him. I don't
even need to break
them up at all! And Endymion will be forced to be with me and love
me. God, why didn't
I think of this sooner? This is so simple!!" An evil smile crossed
Lindsey's lips.
"Finally, Endymion will be mine. And it'll be all over for Selenity."
Lindsey let out an
evil laugh. "I can't wait for the wedding!"

"Come in." Selenity said. The door opened slowly. Selenity turned to
look at who came
in. Selenity had a disgusted look on her face. "What are you
doing here?" Selenity
asked. Without answering Selenity, she covered her mouth and nose with
a cloth that had
chloroform on it. While Selenity struggled to remove the hand covering
her mouth and
nose, she inhaled the chloroform, which caused Selenity to pass out
and fall to the floor.
"Finally, Endymion is mine."
