Chapter 4
------------------------------------
Ami opened the door, turning to look inside.
"Mom, I'm going downstairs now. Come on, we're gonna be late!" Ami sped down the stairs, and stood at the door waiting. Usagi, Rini, and Minako were meeting them for a ride, while Makoto, Rei, Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru would arrive together.
She opened up the apartment doors and let Minako in quickly, so she kept the place cool. Minako was a bit red in the face.
"Ami, did you and your mother offer Duo advice yesterday," asked Minako as soon as she saw her.
"Why do you ask," Ami asked, frowning. Minako started to explain.
*Flashback*
Duo tried again to throw his rope into Minako's window, the second floor. He missed He looped it, and it caught on to the wood he had climbed into a tree to put inside her window. He tugged at it. Very secure. He grabbed the banjo he had brought from Quatre's house, and started to strum it. He looked behind him. The sun was just rising. He began to sing loudly as he strummed the banjo noisily.
"Oooooohhhhhh MIIIIIINNNNNAAAAAKKKKO! I LOOOOOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOO! YOUR EYES ARE LIKE THE STAAAARS! YOUR LIPS LIKE PINK COTTON CAAAANNNNDDDY!" Duo opened his mouth to start the next verse, when something hard hit him in the head. He let go of the rope and fell on his bum. He stood up and sighed.
"You're supposed to serenade people at night when they're awake, NOT AT 4:00 IN THE MORNING!" Minako's voice sounded through the window. Duo climbed back up the rope and peaked into the room. He didn't see anybody. He climbed in through the window, and was about to say something when something hard connected with his head. He got dizzy.
"Duo? Oh no, I'm SO SORRY! I thought you were that loser Jamie Duncan. He was climbing up my window yesterday trying to scare me!" Duo looked up at her from his position on the ground. In her hand she held an alarm clock.
"Owww...."
*End of flashback*
Ami blinked at Minako for a second, before bursting into laughter.
"Ami! It's not funny! I was so embarassed, he's got a good bump on his head now! I promiced him I'd you out with him too now!" Ami smiled.
"Do you like him?" Minako frowned at her.
"Well, when Duo's not being silly, perverted, or stupid, he's a good guy. He has a big heart," Ami offered. Minako nodded seriously. Her mother came rushing down the steps, just as Usagi and Rini showed up. They all piled into the car.
"Where are we going mom," Ami asked.
"We're going to Vinnela's Bridal. It's down town, a really nice big place. I'm going to pick my dress, and hopefully we'll find all of you dresses. I already have my eye on Rini and Hotaru's dresses," Aiko explained. After a few minutes of Rini and Usagi argueing, they arrived. Everyone was already there, waiting.
"Alright ladies. Go in, and look around. If you have any imput, come to me," she opened the door. Everyone ran inside leaving Ami and Aiko standing outside.
"Wow, sorry mom," Ami said, walking inside. Her mother frowned.
"Sorry about what," she called after her.
"Two more weeks until the wedding, and I'm already apprehensive," Aiko said to herself, following Ami inside. Ami walked with her mother up and down the isles of dresses. Her mother wanted to show her the dress she wanted. She finally found it. It was a simple dress, white and it just barely graced the ground. It was sleevless, and it flowed down from the back to make a nice cascading design. She had a pair of white shoes and a clear shawl. There was a ring of white flowers she would place over her head once she got her shoulder length hair put up.
"Beautiful mom," Ami said. Her mother smiled.
"I'm going to try this on, why don't you look around Ames?" Ami nodded. She walked over to where Michiru stood, examining a dress Rini and Hotaru had shown her.
"It comes in pink and purple. I think this is the one Miss Mizuno wanted for us," Rini said. The dress reached the floor, and it had a bow in the back. From the back it cascaded down a bit like Aiko's dress, only a bit different. It was sleevless as well. There were even little matching baskets to go with each dress.
"I'll go see Aiko," said Michiru, walking off. Ami continued down the aisle, Rini and Hotaru at her heels. They both smiled up at her innocently. She smiled.
"You're eleven now Hotaru?" Hotaru nodded.
"And Rini, you're ten?" Rini nodded.
She walked by a row of dresses, about to pass it by when something caught her eye. It was blue, typical for herself. The dress was a darker blue, almost a royal blue. It had double spaggetti straps. It reached until just before it hit the floor. On the back, there were two spagetti straps that criss-crossed, reaching her mid-back. It was v-necked, but not too low and it had a slender look to it, not puffy or frilly at all.
"Wow Ami. This dress is beautiful," commented Rini. Hotaru nodded in agreement. Ami took the dress off of the rack and studied it closely, but put it back when she heard a wail. The three ran to where it had come from. Usagi sat on the floor, a whole rack of dresses having fallen on her head. She was lucky, the metal had fallen behind her. Rei and Minako were both tugging at a dress.
"I saw it first, I'm suggesting it," growled Rei.
"No, I did!" Minako shot back. Ami saw the seems of the dress coming apart. She ran to them and smacked there hands off. Making sure no one was looking, she put it on it's hanger and made it look like nobody had picked it up.
"You want to rip the dress, then watch how quickly we're fined for it," Ami whispered, turning to where Makoto and Haruka were helping Usagi get up. A sales woman looked pretty angry as she grabbed the dresses and started to fix everything. Embarrased, Ami walked over to where her mother stood. She had on her dress.
"Did you ladies find anything," her mother asked. Michiru was with her, helping her fix the collar of her dress.
"Just a mess," Ami commented, flopping down on a chair.
"The dress should be RED!"
"NO! ORANGE!"
"You guys are kidding, right? GREEN!"
"I've always favored the color white."
"USAGI THE BRIDE WILL WEAR WHITE!"
"What about navy blue or yellow?"
"Aqua marine," Michiru called from where she stood. Everyone in the place was looking at the group.
"Owww," Ami heard Usagi say as Rei yelled at her about knocking over another clothes hanger. Aiko looked around nervously. The manager of the store approached them, asking everyone to quiet down.
"Really ladies, I thought you were classier than that," a voice said from the doorway. Duo stood their snickering, along with the rest of the G-boys, Mamoru, James, Kevin, Lisa, little Joseph, Goerge, and Anna.
"We all met up along the way," explained Anna.
"My my Ami. I never knew your friends had such a colorful vocabulary," noted Lisa with a smirk, as Rei and Usagi argued.
"Neither did I," Ami said, walking over to separate the two. James approached the mirrored area.
"James! You're not supposed to see my dress before the wedding," they heard Aiko shot. The dressing room door slammed, and James returned smiling.
"Oh James, you didn't see, did you?" Asked Anna.
"Well, all I know is that it's white," James said with a laugh, sitting down.
"We're here looking for tuxedo's. We wanted to but some from where Quatre lived, but he said it would be a better cultural experience if we bought from here," said Duo with a roll of his eyes. Wufei smacked him in the back of the head. Everyone seperated, Aiko emerging in her regular clothing with her dress hidden behind her as she rushed to go pay. Quatre and Ami walked off together. Ami spotted a nice tuxedo at a reasonable price and showed it to Quatre.
"I like it Ami. But- where's your dress," he asked.
"Well, I had my eye on one, but then a bunch of ruckus errupted and I forgot about it. I'll go get it," Ami said. He followed her. She picked it up off of the rack and studied it closely.
Quatre and her walked off, separating when they reached the men's and womans dressing rooms. Ami tryed it on and showed her mother and the rest of the scouts.
"Beautiful Ami. Take it," her mother said. Everyone voiced agreement. Ami looked next to her. Hotaru and Rini stood wearing the dresses that they had shown Ami earlier, and Lisa and Anna stood fussing over them.
"Aren't they adorable!" Rini giggled slightly, and Hotaru gave a small smile and blush.
"Those are the perfect flower girl dresses. You're taking them," Aiko said. They nodded and ran off to change. Ami changed as well, and her mother payed for the next three dresses. They were put away for them, so they wouldn't have to carry them.
"How are you paying for all this mom," Ami asked.
"The hall we're having the reception at had a deal. This store is a branch off of their corporation, so we recieved a lot of money on a credit card for the clothes only if bought from this store," her mother explained. Ami nodded.
"Now, for the bride's maids dresses," her mother said with a sigh, approaching the girls. For the next half hour, everything was mess. Dress after dress was offered to the group, and nothing was working. The store was just about ready to kick them out when one sales lady stepped forwards with an idea.
"It appears you're having trouble with the colors of the brides maids dresses. If you don't mind taking advice from me- and aren't afraid to have something a little eccentric, then I think I have a solution," she said, offering a kind smile. Everyone perked up. Setsuna appeared out of nowhere behind Ami, making her jump.
"So this is your doing," Ami said with a laugh, turning back to the sales lady.
"You see, we just recieved a new shipment of dresses. They work very simple. You have one main color, black. Then, every five inches on the dress, there is a thin, let's say white stripe. To finish off the design we go for, there is a thin white X starting from each shoulder and ending at the edge of the dress. It crosses through the lines. The brides maids in this case can wear different colors because they virtually have the same dress. The dress is black, but the lines going through it come in different colors. Do you understand?" Everyone nodded. (If you don't understand the explanation of the dress, say so in the review. Bassically it is a black dress with any color of thin stripe you want going through it. The dress is a tube top dress, and it reached all the way down to the floor. This way, everybody gets what they want.)
The sales lady went to the back and got the dresses. Everyone tried them on. Usagi's had white stripes going throught it, Minako's had orange stripes, Makato's had green stripes, Rei's had red stripes, Haruka's had yellow stripes, and Michiru's had aqua marine stripes going through it, and Setsuna would have very dark purple stripes going through it. Everybody loved the idea, and they all found matching black shoes to wear. They changed so that none of the guys saw them wearing their dresses before the wedding. Aiko returned the credit card to James so that he could pay for his tuxedo.
"Now, does everyone need a ride," asked Aiko.
"Actually miss Mizuno. If it's not too much trouble, we were hoping that the girls could go out to dinner with us?," Quatre asked. Aiko nodded.
"Well then, I guess I'll just have to take Aiko out to a romantic dinner with my parents, sister and brother in law, and little Joseph of course," James said. Aiko laughed.
"Alright, let's go. The adults left.
"Usagi, if you want some time alone with Mamoru, we can take Rini off of your hands. We'll take her and Hotaru to a kids restaurant or something," offered Haruka.
"Oh, you don't have to-" Usagi was cut off.
"Haruka and I don't mind. We love treating the girls," Michiru said. Usagi agreed and the 4 left. Those that were left were Quatre, Ami, Rei, Wufei, Duo, Minako, Heero, Makoto, Usagi, Mamoru, Setsuna and Trowa.
"Why are you here anyways Setsuna," Ami asked.
"I have some information for you girls and Mamoru. I already told Haruka and Michiru. I figure I'll tell all of you now over dinner. I haven't had a burger in a month anyways," Setsuna said, letting her rare goofy side emerge. They went to a burger place near the shop, planning on walking home.
They all filed into a large booth, and a waitress came to take their orders almost immediately. Wufei and Rei were pushing each other around for more space on the seat, while Duo flirted with Minako.
"Tomorrow Minako, we'll go see a movie, how's that sound," he asked.
"Great!" Minako said sincerely.
"Onna, weak people such as your self do not deserve the amount of room you are taking up," Wufei growled.
"WEAK! Come to my kick boxing class tomorrow and maybe you'll know what weak is!" Rei told him.
"Fine, I will!," Wufei said.
"Usako, we haven't had a formal date in a while. How about tomorrow evening," Mamoru suggested.
"That would be great, Mamo-chan," Usagi said excitedly. Trowa and Setsuna sat discussing politics and stuff, and Ami heard her saying she would be in this demension again tomorrow, and that they could meet up in the park and discuss the issue some more.
Makoto was trying to talk to Heero, but he didn't seem to be listening.
"Typical man! You don't listen when a woman speaks to you!" Heero turned to look at her briefly.
"I listen," he said, turning back to his open lap top. She snatched it away from him.
"Do you? I don't think you do. You couldn't sit and pay attention for an hour," she said.
"I could. Tomorrow. 6:00, here," he said, taking his lap top back. Makoto blinked. Was this Heero's way of making a date? What was with this guy. She would just have to see. Ami looked up when Quatre tapped her.
"Let's concentrate on our conversation, and not anyone else's," he said with a smile. She laughed.
"Alright, but I warn you I can put you to sleep if I start to talk," she said.
"You never put me to sleep. Your interesting to listen to Ami. I do have something I thought would please you though," he said.
"What's that Mr. Winner?" Quatre smiled again and reached into his pocket. He pulled out two tickets to a show being put on at the Tokyo Hall. She beamed. She had been waiting to see it.
"Thankyou Quatre! It's perfect, exacty what I wanted," she said hugging him. He blushed but hugged back.
"It's at 7:00 tomorrow. Can you make it," he asked. She nodded. They turned to Setsuna, whom had cleared her throat. The food had arrived, and she was ready to give them the information she had.
"Alright. The information I have gathered isn't a lot, but it is all I can give you without disturbing time. This new enemy is a decendent of one of your older enemies with a grudge. They can manipulate things," she said.
"Manipulate things, what things," asked Usagi.
"I can't tell you. Just- be careful. That man that attacked Ami and Quare is their leading pon. He gives them all the information. His name is Noto. Be aware of him, he is extremely dangerous," Setsuna said. Everyone nodded. They finished eating, and Ami grabbed the bill before everyone else got to it. She saw something attatched to it. A small piece fo paper. It said this:
-Those you trust can lead you wrong, and those you don't could be your salvation. Trust those you trust, Trust those you don't. Think twice before giving an answer-
Ami frowned. It was like something from a fortune cookie. She tucked it in her pocket. Saying goodbye to everybody, she payed the bill, everyone glaring and aying that they could have paid, angry that they hadn't beaten her to it. On her way out, she told the lady that had served them, "cute little fortune you attatched." As she left, the lady frowned. What fortune?

Be aware of him, he is extremely dangerous," Setsuna said. Everyone nodded. They finished eating, and Ami grabbed the bill before everyone else got to it. She saw something attatched to it. A small piece fo paper. It said this:
-Those you trust can lead you wrong, and those you don't could be your salvation. Trust those you trust, Trust those you don't. Think twice before giving an answer-
Ami frowned. It was like something from a fortune cookie. She tucked it in her pocket. Saying goodbye to everybody, she payed the bill, everyone glaring and aying that they could have paid, angry that they hadn't beaten her to it. On her way out, she told the lady that had served them, "cute little fortune you attatched." As she left, the lady frowned. What fortune?
