Hehehe.....well here goes the epilogue. I think the reason I'm having such a hard time writing this is because I really don't wan't this story to be over. It was sort of my baby.

I hope you enjoy the Epilogue. It will tell you all of what everyone is doing now and (for those of you who love a good romance.....)how their love lives are doing.

Minako was feeling nervous, nauscious and excited all at once. To put it simply, she was about to lose the small amount of breakfast she had put into her stomache. It wasn't that she was trying to lose weight, but rather she was much too nervous to worry about such "trivial matters."

Her strange behavior lately had Heero worried. Which ,of course, he had told her if she wasn't ready for their upcoming union he could wait. She had readily declined. There was no way she would wait any longer.

It had been awhile since the plan to make him jealous had succeeded. They had later went into the disastrous dates, sweet moments, and even passionate ones. The passionate ones had never went very far, mind you.

The wedding was next week, and Minako had the pre-wedding nervousness. It was Friday, and next Friday would be their marriage. Everything was planned, it just needed to be executed.

They had both decided on a small weddng. Minako had because she thought it would sounded romantic. Heero on the other hand...We'll, Heero is Heero. He liked things to be private. So they had decided on a small wedding, consisting of thirty or so odd guests.

It was to be at Rei's temple, which was where Minako was right now. Rei had been liscenced to perform marriages as the local priestess, after her grandfathers death. And Rei had insisted Minako stay at her temple before the wedding. She had also insisted that Minako and Heero stay apart for at least three weeks before the wedding.

Minako sighed and took another sip of the tea Rei had brought her. "This is going to be a long week..."

It was said as a half-grumble, half-sigh. But was more light hearted than anything. She had enjoyed her time at Rei's temple always. It was soothing here, the birds always chirping, the beautiful scenery and the quiet peacefulness. Minako looked up as Rei walked in, wearing her usual preistess attire.

She smiled at Minako before sitting down across the small table from her. Her legs folded neatly beneath her, as her midnight hair fell forward into her face. She pushed it back behind her ear and poured herself a cup of tea.

"So....still nervouse?"

"As hell." Minako stated with a small laugh.

Rei laughed at this. "Don't worry, you love him right?"

Minako nodded her head, not sure of where Rei was takng this conversation.

Rei's smile brightened."Well then everything will be fine."

Minako smiled back at her friend. How did she always seem to make her feel better?

000The next week...Wednesday...000

Minako pulled her hair into a ponytail. The girls had insisted they went to a cafe' to eat tonight. Which made Minako wonder why she was having to dress up.

A car horn beeped from down the stairs of Rei's temple.

"They're Here!" Rei announced waling into Minako's room.

Rei wasn't holding back. Her clothes left little to the imagination, she had insisted Minako do the same and even bought her an outfit. The outfit Minako was wearing was black rather than her usual orange. The skirt ws way too short, the shirt way too clingy and low. They were way too sparkly and the boots were lace up. The kind Makoto like to refer to as "stripper boots."

Minako turned around and Rei laughed. "You look like a stripper!"

"We'll you picked it out." To emphasize her words Minako threw a pillow from her bed at Rei.

"Just one more thing!" Rei pulled out a can of something and began to spray Minako. "There!"

"What did you do to me?" Minako asked laughing.

"Look for yourself." Rei said, pointing to a mirror.

Minako did as she was told, before sweatdropping. She had sprayed her with glitter. Now even her hair sparkled. She grabbed her purse and followed Rei out, wanting to get away before the body shimmer came out.

They went quickly down Rei's stairs, Minako almost passing out at what she saw. There was Haruka on her motorcycle! She was holding Michiru's helmet in her hands and had a small cab attatched to the side of her motorcycle.

"Where's Michiru?" Minako questioned, praying to God that she had went to the bathroom and her and Rei were walking.

"At the cafe'," she answered with a knowing smile."Get on, Aino!"

She threw the helmet at Minako, who caught it with a sigh. She pulled it on her head and climbed on behind Haruka. Rei climbed in the cab, and winked mischeviously at Minako. Something strange was going on...

"Where are we going!" She demanded.

Haruka and Rei laughed at each other. The only answer she got was the roar of the motorcycle engine, before having to throw her arms around Haruka. The motorcycle sped off, leaving Minako's hair whipping in the wind. She screamed as Haruka sharply turned a corner, bending the motorcycle so close to the concrete that Minako could smell it.

Rei was laughing and squealing having a fun time, before Haruka smirked at her. Then she looked at her suspiciously. Haruka veered off the road aiming Rei's cab at a tree, she sped on towards it and Rei screamed. At the very last instant she jerked the cab away. Rei was pretty silent after that.

0000

About thirty minutes later they pulled up at a club. Minako could feel the tremors of laughter running through Haruka's body. Minako climbed off and looked at Rei questioningly. The "cafe", was a club.

Rei smiled peevishly and ran her fingers through her hair."Come on, you need to have a little fun before you tie the knot!"

"You make it sound so beautful." Minako said with a roll of her eyes.

Rei shrugged her shoulders."Before you join in the most beautiful of unions."

She said it like a very eccentric actor,leaving all the people in the street looking at them like they were crazy. Okay, so maybe they were...but they still didn't need to know. Minako laughed and pushed her friend towards the door. A burly man at the front of the club intercepted.

"I'm gonna need an I.D."

They all pulled out their drivers liscense and he stamped their hands with the 'they can drink' mark. Minako walked in with Rei, not noticing that Haruka stayed behind.

She walked over to the man and bent over quietly saying to him,"She only has two days left before marriage, give her hell!"

And with that she handed him a fifty. The man smiled knowingly and nodded. He had been in this business a long time and knew just what to do so that they would enjoy themselves. The bumper handed her a ticket and told her to show it to 'the man in front and he would handle the rest.' Haruka nodded and put her hands in her pockets, she needed to find this guy.

000Inside the club000

Rei steered Minako to the back of the club, pushing Minako in. All her friends were there hanging out on the beanbag chairs and talking. Presnts adorned the room everywhere and pizza and a cake sat on the table. At the site of the cake she laughed, it had a very.....particular picture on it. They all greeted her with a smile and a hug, asking how she was feeling, and so on.

She hadn't been in there very long before they all decided to go and dance.

000Later000

Minako was having a great time. Laughing, dancing and altogether just hangin' out. There was a stage that had been there the whole time, even though it hadn't been used. But all the sudden the lights flashed on and men walked out, hardly wearing anything.

One spotted her and came to get her, she backed up a little bit. This was a bit strange, even for her. Somehow she felt as though it would be cheating on Heero. She turned to leave,only to find all her friends behind her looking like so many gangsters.

"Oh no you dont!"

Haruka said with a laugh. She turned her around and pushed inot the stripper.

"Oh,my God..." Minako said when he started dancing. Everyone started cheering for her and the stripper pulled her on stage and put her into a chair. When he started dancing on top of her she knew it was way too late to get away.

000Across town...An hour later.000

Across town, about an hour later Heero was in the same position. Except he expresses himself in a 'different' way. They were in a club that was a little less packed, but the club was more for guys.

Heero was sitting at a table in the corner, watching Wufei across from him. Wufei had a smirk on his face as he watched the girls grinding with the other pilots. This was obvioulsy what he thought women were for.

Then all the lights dimmed, and Duo began to laugh mischeviously.

"Ladies and gentlemen..Have a last time bachelor in the room-" all the girls looked around in excitement, and Heero sat up straighter,"-we'll then Mr.Yuy have we got a surprise for you....." The people in the club screamed in delight and saw the disgruntled boy shift uncomfortably as the spotlihgt came to rest on him.

Duo and Wufei were laughing hard, Wufei's hands pounded on the table. And then a girl came out, she was hardly wearing anything. Heero shifted uncomfortably again, his gun hand twiched slightly.

The girl crawled onto the table and began to sit on Heero. The strange music, mixed with laughing peers and a girls busm in his face was just too much. His hand darted to his pocket where he pulled out a gun. The girl screamed and the bouncers came at him.

"Oh shit," Wifei said.

000Friday 000

Minako was about to walk down the aisle. The clubbing incident had been strange but not altogether unpleasant.

But pointedly so, she was still too nervous about getting married.

Usagi was going to be her bridesmaid, being the only married one and Rei the priestess. Then Makoto,Relena, and Ami the maids of honor.

Makoto ran in and hugged Minako...."It's time!"

The wedding went by smoothly and they were to the point where Minako threw the boquet. She held the boquet in her hands and threw it behind her, quickly turning tosee who caught it. All the girls reached for it, but it flew over their heads. Landing in Wufei's lap.

He looked at it in shock, before looking up to see the women with the predatory look in their eyes. He quickly got up and tried to throw it away, but it was caught to a button in his shirt. When they lunged at him he took off. Of course, eventually they caught it and ripped it and the jacket off.

The rest of the wedding went by fast for Minako. And before she knew it they were all hugging and telling her goodbye.

000That night::Wink Wink::000

Minako waited in their hotel room nervously. She had changed into her sheer lingerie and was now waiting for Heero to come in. She looked down at her trembling hand with a sigh. She had waited for this all her life, and now it was finally happening.

Her head jerked up when the doorknow turned. And Heero came in looking very determined.

She saw him and smiled uncertainly, she recieved the twinkle in his eye. Which was close enough to a smile for her. He walked forward with a sure step, his chocolate hair falling in his face before being brushed away by strong hands.

The twinkle disappeared, only to be replaced by a different look. The look was primal and sent shivers racing down her spine.

He sat down on the bed beside her and raised a hand to her face, stroking it gently. This reassured her and she smiled at him, this smile a little more sure than the last.

She took and deep breath and began a speech she had planned."Heero,I think that this is a good thing for me. I have waited all my life to find someone and-"

"Minako...Shut up." He said, more requesting than demanding. She nodded her head and there was a silence.

Heero pulled her hand to his mouth and kissed the top gently,"nothing matters as long as were together."

He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her into a kiss. It was as unsure as first and then grew more reassured.

As long as were together, her mind repeated dazedly. And suddenly she didn't feel so nervous anymore.

I love you ,Heero.

000End000

Well that was the end. Sorry it was short and took so long, the business never ends. But I'm going to visist my brother this weekend and so I had to hurry and finish it.

I hope you enjoyed it. It is so sad to end it now. Maybe one day I'll extend that last scene,eh? Sorry if it seemed a bit choppy, I wrote it as quickly as I could.(Unfotunately.)

Please tell me what you thought. But I also have a request. Tell me how you think I could improve my writing...Please?
