The next six days seemed like nothing as Domon and Rain had a great time at Chivodees place. They enjoyed themselves and the little , usual fights between the shuffle alliance members. For the first time Domon laughed placidly at the expenses of their jokes and Rain was happy about it. Finally December 31st was there. Rain heard about the other girls plans to dress nicely and she too thought of doing that. Miss Marie Louise showed her a dress she had and it was beautiful. Rain helped her get on it and she watched as George picked her in his arms and carried her out. Natasha came downstairs dressed in a green dress, a little showy but without her glasses and her military clothes she looked radiant. Argo , dressed in a suit of the same color , waited for her , and smilingly said Good bye to Rain and left with Natasha.
Chivodee appeared in light blue and started flirting with Rain. "You know you can join the lady's club" and he proudly watched as his girls came down each one with a different dress color but all wearing the same model. "See ya Rain" he happily said and Rain smile. Sai Saici in yellow suit came down too and his monks were dressed properly. "My girl is waiting for me over there sis. You think bro and you are gonna make it?" "Yes Sai , don't worry." "We'll see you there Miss Mikamura"-the monks answered at the same time and they all left.
Rain went upstairs and tried to look for Domon but she couldn't find him. She decided to put on the dress she bought for this night but her hopes weren't so high of truly going. As she looked in the mirror she was pleased to see that her dress fit her perfectly. It was red and not that short, but the high heels revealed more than what she intended. A small necklace rested around her neck , and two big earrings matching the dress were worn. She let her hair fall over her shoulders when Domon stepped in the room. At first he blushed and then she blushed and then Rain laughed. Domon was actually wearing the tuxedo she bought him and oh boy did he look cute ! He would have pass for a gentleman if only he could have worn his tie properly. He then looked at the way the dress shaped her curves and how good red looked on her. He loved that color for Rain , always had. He moved closer to her and caressed her chin, "Ready Rain?"
By the time they got there the place was crowed. A beautiful tall Christmas tree was lighted and a huge ball shimmered in the sky. Domon and Rain had their hands together and he , overprotective , hold it tightly. He watched as Rain smiled and laughed pointing at him the funny things on the street. Finally they both laughed as they saw Natasha and Argo trying to dance with the Santa Claus , and how Chivodee and the girls were making a sensational noise in the street. The noises were great. Domon couldn't hear anymore what Rain was saying but looked up the clock and saw 11:57. He then hurried to a side of the multitude , away from the eyes of everybody. He took her in his arms , touching the tip of her forehead with his. "You look so beautiful Rain"-the words slipped out his mouth and Rain smiled. Her expression gave Domon the boost he needed to keep on going ."I…I want to tell you something" She looked at him puzzled but dare not to speak until he was done. "I already told you I love you Rain but I need to be with you …" His voice trailed and he looked again at the clock : 11:59. "I just…Rain…I know I may be stubborn but I love you Rain , will all my heart." -he showed her his shuffle crest which was red and shinning ."This hand of mine burns red , and it is telling me to grasp hold of you for ever. "- he could listen to how the people started the final countdown. Rain blushed , she could feel in her bones what was coming. As the crowd started "15, 14 , 13..." Domon showed her a little black box he just took out of his pocket, opened it and inside a beautiful golden ring shined. "Rain , will you marry me?" Rain's smile was bigger than ever and she hugged him tightly as he lift her in the air. "Yes Domon , I'll marry you!" "3, 2 , 1 EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The crowd went crazy as the two lovers kissed and the new year started , promising more than one wedding in the calendar.
