Ami was wondering through the mansion wondering where her husband had vanished to. Probably to his office, was her deduction as she made a beeline for his office. Ami walked into Quatre's office to find her husband frowning at some documents in his hands but not reading them, he was merely staring into space. Ami walked over to him but he was so deep in thought he didn't even see her at first.
"My love?" Ami asked him touching his hand lightly and Quatre sprang to life, his eyes brightening at the sight of his wife
"Oh Ami, are you having a good day?" he asked her lovingly and Ami nodded.
"Yes although I'm sad you are working it away, what's wrong?" Ami asked seeing that Quatre was still distracted and Quatre rubbed his forehead.
"I'm worried for Rei, Duo is too, he was the one who came to see me, he thinks maybe if we plan an outing it will help to cheer her up, Heero has been gone a long time after all, it must be terrible for her to see us altogether, without Heero there," Quatre said sadly and Ami nodded as she had been thinking the exact same thing. It still amazed her that they thought so alike.
"We are all worried for her, what was so important to Heero that he had to leave his new bride on their wedding day?" Ami asked Quatre, hoping maybe he knew something, but Quatre shook his head.
"I don't know, I think Duo knows but he won't say a word, Minako too, it must be important, if Heero isn't with Rei, then he is doing something to protect her, you saw him around her, there is no way he would let anything happen to her," Quatre pointed out sighing deeply and Ami shrugged hugging Quatre around the neck lovingly.
"Well I think an outing is a great idea, where shall we go?" Ami asked but from the grin that took over Quatre's face Ami knew her husband had already planned it.
"I was thinking a dinner in the woods," Quatre told her and Ami beamed with pleasure.
"How lovely," she commented liking the idea and Quatre pulled her down onto his lap.
"I've already arranged it with Rashid, just have all the girls ready at eight," he invited and Ami showered his face with kisses.
"You're a wonderful man Quatre," Ami giggled as Quatre hugged her, planting a kiss on her cheek.
The four girls dressed beautifully in long flowing dresses, wandered through the woods at dusk admiring the beauty of sunset. Minako was skipping along ahead of everyone humming and laughing.
"How exciting, dinner in the woods, and…sweet mother of god, Duo?" Minako broke off her daydreaming to stare at her husband who was dressed in armour, carrying a helmet under his arm.
"Good day milady, welcome to thy dinner," Duo announced bowing awkwardly and this brought on giggles from the girls who looked at each other as understanding dawned.
They had all been quite confused when the dresses arrived from Quatre, these medieval type dresses that had long dangly sleeves, a tight bodice and a flowing skirt, decorated with jewels and patterned lace. The girls realised they had stumbled onto a Medieval Feast.
"Quatre what is all this?" Ami asked in wonder, falling in love with her husband's creativeness all over again.
"'Tis thy meal my lady, thou art most welcome, for it would be my pleasure to have such lovely ladies as thy goodselves attend," Quatre played his part quite well and Ami laughed and hugged him however uncomfortable as Quatre too was wearing armour.
Mako looked for her husband and shook her head upon seeing him. It must have been decided among the pilots that Wufei had the distinct honour, not of being a knight but of being the king, wearing dark blue leggings with a tunic of deep purple over his chest that came down to his upper thigh. Around his waist was a tight belt holding the tunic together and on his head was a crown that Mako could only assume Quatre had purged from his store of wealth.
"Oh Wufei," Mako said laughing a little as she approached him and Wufei scowled at her.
"Quiet onna, it wasn't my idea," he muttered under his breath and Mako frowned at him jokingly.
"Where's your medieval tongue huh?" she mocked him and Wufei gave her an exasperated look before peering down at his outfit, especially those leggings.
"I dressed up Mako, that should be enough," he said and Mako kissed him quickly.
"But of course it 'tis your majesty," Mako slipped into the role of medieval damsel easily performing a low curtsy. Wufei smiled down at her bent head and with one hand lifted her chin so she was staring up at him, a small smile playing about his lips.
"If I be…thy king…then thee shall be my queen," Wufei attempted medieval tongue and succeeded quite well he thought when his wife laughed throwing her arms around him and giving him a big kiss whispering yes, yes, yes.
Rei looked around half hoping that Heero had come back, but was pleasantly disappointed when Trowa appeared in Heero's place offering Rei his arm.
"Thy keen protectors thought that thee was in need of company and so brought myself to entertain thee," Trowa told Rei who smile grateful that they had been thinking of her and she took Trowa's arm squeezing it. She longed to ask him how Relena fared after the whole wedding debacle but she knew there was no way Trowa would understand her. Only Heero ever truly understood her.
Quatre pressed play on a CD player he had brought to the woods with him and a song started playing and Quatre quickly showed them the steps of a medieval dance he had learned especially for this day. It was a partnering dance as well as a group dance, just as they used to do it back in the day. The girls and guys at first took a little longer to pick it up. Of course Mako and Ami were pros from the word go, and Quatre already knew the steps, but Duo, Minako, Wufei and Rei were so bad they ruined it for the others. Trowa was also very good, and he guided Rei with such ease that Rei felt herself relax more, although her ever watchful eye was on her weaving basket.
