---Chapter six-- Six little words

enticer: "I don't know about that one, but I will be in a couple of minutes."

Following that day was the wedding. The wedding was situated for noon so everybody had time to get ready and arrive from all over the world for Usagi had gained many friends on her travels.

Everything was set, the reception after the wedding, the flowers were all arranged. Everything was going to be perfect. As the clock stuck 11:30, people started to fill the pews. At 11:56 exactly the men were all standing there ready to greet their partners. The music filled the small church and the flower girl; a girl with cotton candy pink hair walked down the aisle dropping a mixture of pink, white and red Rose petals. She was dressed in a white dress.

When she was all the way down, the brides maids walked down to be greeted half way by their counter parts. Rei was first to be greeted by the best man, Mamoru. Following them was Minako and Malachite, then Makoto and Nephrite, then Ami and Zoicite. Naru being one of Usagi's best friends since kindergarten was greeted by Jadeite. The rest of Usagi's girlfriends were the ushers and made sure things behind the scenes stayed on track. Once Naru and Jadeite went to their respective spots the music changed as the clock stuck noon.

Usagi started down the aisle in a glorious shimmering white with her father Kenji on her arm. Several people made comments on how beautiful she looked. And Usagi smiled all the brighter at the praise. She looked ahead and was struck by being something not quite right with the picture. She followed the line of her girlfriends, they were all perfect, then she looked to the end of her and Motoki's guy friends they all looked good too, what was wrong?

She brushed it off as she reached the end. Kenji took Motoki's hand before letting go of Usagi's arm. "I know you will take good care of my daughter, you will honor, love her and cherish her. She probably couldn't have picked a better man." Usagi smirked at that one, her father would never have said that about any of her other boyfriends, the only one he had ever made a comment about was Mamoru and how he was a no good scum bag for treating Usagi that way. She had tried to explain that they didn't love each other and that what they did was with mutual actions, but he wouldn't listen.

"I will." Motoki replied back to her father. He received Usagi's arm and as they walked the last few steps onto the podium he whispered in her ear. "You look absolutely radiant."

"And you look stunning." She whispered back. "The perfect man."

Motoki smiled at the words. "I don't know about that one, but I will be in a couple of minutes."

"Flatterer." She whispered her breath hot on his ear.

They paid attention to the pastor as he made the announcement to start the ceremony. "We are gathered here today to witness the matrimony between Motoki and Usagi." The pastor went on and eventually he got to the part where they were to repeat after him. After they repeated him he settled on the second to last question for each. "Do you Usagi promise to love, honor and obey Motoki through riches and poor, heath and in sickness until death do you part?"

"I do." Usagi answered.

"Do you Tuskino Usagi take Motoki to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The pastor asked.

"I, do." Nobody but Motoki noticed the slight pause in her answer.

"Do you Motoki promise to love, honor and protect Usagi through riches and poor, health and in sickness until death do you part?"

"I do." Motoki answered without a heart beat.

"Do you Motoki take Usagi to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The pastor asked.

"I do." Motoki took a deep shuddering breath. "Not." He stated clearly, no longer looking at the pastor, but directly into Usagi's eyes.

"Thank god." She breathed, not loud enough for anybody but him to hear. Among her were audible gasps of shock and he could hear the girls all take a sigh of relief, Mamoru too. Usagi looked past him to look at the girls in confusion while he looked at Mamoru pretty much the same way.

Usagi looked behind him at Mamoru a frown coming to her forehead. "Don't you feel loved?" Motoki joked.

Usagi whipped her head around to look at Motoki; a snap was heard as she did it too fast. "Yeah." She laughed. "I didn't know so many people were betting on our wedding to fail before we even got started."

"It's not that we wanted you to fail Usa-chan." Rei spoke up. "I would have said something before now, but you seemed happy and I wanted you to be happy. But I knew he wasn't the right choice although you'd good and happy together, that much I could see."
