~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Shopping with Minako wasn't as bad as Ami and Makoto had feared. At least it wasn't for the first hour.
"Ames! You have GOT to try this on!" Minako squealed in happiness. She was holding out a navy blue thin strapped dress, that bordered on formal, but wasn't exactly.
"This would look so good on you!" Minako said as she held out the dress for Ami to try on.
Gingerly taking the dress, Ami studied it further. 'I guess Minako really does have a great fashion sense...' Ami thought glumly as she went to try on yet another dress.
The fabric was slightly stretchy so no zippers or ties were needed. And it fit Ami like a glove.
Ami stepped out to model off the dress at the insistence of both Makoto and Minako.
While she was twirling she asked Minako about her own dress.
"You don't even have one dress picked out Mina-chan! So it stands to reason that you WILL be the next one to try on a dress!"
Minako blushed slightly. "But I don't know what color Heero likes. I don't really want to disappoint him..."
Ami paused at looked at her friend. 'Could she be serious?'
Movement at the corner of Ami's eyes made the girl turn to looks out the windows of the shop. The only sight she caught was of dark blonde hair flying off out of sight.
'That looks a hell of a lot like Relena's hair....Nah...couldn't be!' Ami told herself before turning back to a nervous Minako.
"Heero doesn't have a favorite color Mina-chan" Makoto told the slightly distraught woman.
Minako looked at her two friends with teary eyes. "Really?" she asked.
Ami and Makoto nodded.
"So far," Ami added, "All we actually know is that Heero loves his guns. Duo tried nabbing one a while back and nearly got his head shaved for it!"
Minako giggled trying to imagine the sight of a bald Duo. "I can't even imagine a bald Duo, and I've only met him once!"
Ami and Makoto, after trying to imagine Duo bald as a bowling ball, joined in the giggle fest.
Minako forced them to spend another two hours dress shopping before she had found her dress.
She had decided to stay with her traditional color scheme, but in a modern style. An almost, but not quiet neon orange halter top with white dress pants. Additionally, she purchased a gold belly chain with an arrow dangling at the bottom.
Makoto had chosen a long sleeve, off the shoulder forest green top with dark grey slacks. Her miscellaneous adornment was a black chocker with a lightening bolt fixed onto the center.
Ami, also opting to wear pants, had chosen black pleated pants to go with a shirt that was like a turtle neck shirt, but without the sleeves in a deep royal blue color. She had also chosen faux diamond hair clips to keep her hair in order.
After the exhausting run through the mall, the three of them decided to go to dinner.
"Who's in the mood for some pizza?" Minako shouted.
Makoto groaned. "As long as it's not more than a ten foot walk, I'm all for it Mina-chan"
Ami stifled a grin. "Pizza sounds good right about now!"
Minako smiled. "Good! Cuz we're already here! Ta-da!"
And there sat Max's Pizza parlor. Not even five feet away.
"Thank Kami!" Makoto whispered as they sat down. "I thought I was going to pass out for a sec there!"
Ami nodded her agreement as Minako smiled blissfully.
"So..." Ami began. "When's this triple date you're trying to coerce us into Minako?"
Said woman grinned cheekily. "Tonight! I asked Duo before I left and he said 'sure' and that he would drag Trowa along as well!"
Both Ami and Makoto growled at the goddess of love. "MINAKO!!!!"
"What?" She asked innocently.
Ami and Makoto sighed, defeated. 'She'll never learn...'
"So," Makoto began quietly. "Where and when are we meeting them? And why the hell did you not ask us first?!??!"
Minako grinned, abashed. "We're meeting them at 8 tonight at 'Starlight Dance' It's a club I went to once, but it also serves a great dinner! One of my old boyfriends took me there, oh...10 years ago. It's still a great place to eat!"
Ami raised an eyebrow. "Old boyfriend?" she questioned.
"Spill" Makoto ordered.
"You know me! I go through boys like a kid goes through candy!" Minako replied blithely.
Ami rolled her eyes.
"How many boyfriends have you had Mina-chan?" Makoto asked astonished.
She thought for a good minute. "Over a hundred I think. But it comes out to one every few years or so."
Ami and Makoto's jaws hit the floor.
"Damn girl!" Makoto nearly hollered. "I've only had a handful!"
Ami shook her head as her two friends debated on the boyfriend issue. 'Almost like old times...' she thought gloomily.
After tiring of the debate, Ami excused herself saying that she had a few things to take care of before dinner, even though she really didn't. Maybe a bill to pay, but that's it.
The two waved her off before going back to their debate.
Ami chuckled. 'Those two could go on and on about boys given half the chance!'
When Ami got to her door, she noticed something lying on her doormat. A blue forget-me-not. Ami's favorite flower.
Attached to the flower was a note. It read:
Ames! In case your blonde friend hasn't told you yet, we're all meeting for dinner at 'Starlight Dance' by 8pm. Nice place if I do say so myself, and I do! I will see you there lovely one! Duo
Ami, smiled at Duo's gesture. He at least thought to tell me of dinner plans. 'I think he deserves a kiss for that' Ami thought fondly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I know, I know...it's short. I just got home about 2 hours ago so give me a break! I could have made you all wait till tomorrow! =P But I luves you guys too much to be that cruel. But I do hope to have a longer one out by tomorrow. No promises though. Merely hopes. So, review and I will grace you all with a new chapter.
