"You read it I can't, I am afraid it will be horrible." She said as she handed him the letter.

As Zoicite read, Ami passed the area. Once he was done he kissed her quickly and told her he would help in any way he could, then handed her the letter. It came from one of the higher up people still alive and said there were great losses, including her parents, and that the people thought she should come back home and be queen but they also believed that she needed to be married or marry soon after she got home. When he finished she just stood there with a very odd expression on her face that read MARRIED, they want me MARRIED! All that she could do at that point was scream until she could not anymore. Zoicite thought that it would not be that bad but also understood she did not like being told what to do.

"I can't believe what they want me to do."

"Well I can help with parts of the letter" Zoicite said and suddenly added, "Meet me for dinner tonight, around six okay," and he went running off.

"They want me to get married, MARRIED and soon." Ami ranted to her friends. At that moment Makoto came running in saying you need a nice dress for tonight, and that was all she knew. Ami was so flustered so had almost forgot about the date tonight. "A nice dress, well I guess we need to go shopping."

By three that afternoon the girls each had a new dress each in their own colors. Ami found a beautiful blue dress; sleeve less, with silver threads sowed into and throughout the dress. She also got small silver earrings, and silver hair clips for her hair. When the girls got home they sent Ami to shower so they could help her get ready to go on her date. Ami had some ideas of what Zoicite was planning but it was all the other girls pretty much knew what was going to happen, because Ami had told them of Zoicite reaction that morning

Zoicite had been planning and preparing for the evening since he read the letter. He had first gone to the cook and ordered dinner consisting of, Chicken Marcellus, rice, green peas (Ami's Favorite) and white wine. He found a nice secluded place and told the other guys to keep any one who came by away. Zoicite then had to go to the store; he knew that his ring fit on her thumb so from that he could size the ring. He found one that had a ½ karat diamond with four small blue stones surrounding it. He knew it was the one she wanted because he had heard Ami and Usagi looking and talking about it and Zoicite a long time to find a tux that was just what he was looking for. He finally found a white with a dark blue vest, sliver buttons and cufflinks. The only thing was it was a little more than he wanted to pay but he knew it looked good in him and his Ami would like it on him. By the time he got back to the palace it was a quarter to five, which meant he had just about an hour. Zoicite sent for Makoto to tell her where he was going to meat Ami at for their date, he had decided to be waiting for her while Jadeite brought her to dinner. He thought this would keep the suspense in Ami's mind.

"Where are you taking me?" Ami asked Jadeite as they walked across the palace grounds.

"Just a bit further, Princess" he replied. And in a few minutes Zoicite was waiting for them at the entrance to the gazebo. Zoicite then lead her to the table and thought she might faint if he had not been there holding on to her. He knew that she loved what she saw and that the night at least started out right. Ami thought that hopefully he would ask her to marry him, but then again she learned at a young age not to expect anything from anyone, even those she loves, besides family. Through out the dinner the two talked about the differences between the two planets and how people would except an outsider as the king.

"From what I gathered from the letter there are only about one-hundred people left alive on Mercury, so I believe they would not care who I married as long as I did. I think the only people who knew I had feelings towards you are my parents, and the minister doesn't know anything you, so I think he is hoping he will get to choose who I marry. And if he does I will end up marring his idiot son, who is just in it for the money." Ami ranted.

"So you think they will accept anyone, even if they have never heard of or seen him before?"

"I suppose," she replied with a puzzled look on her face.

"Do you remember the first time we met? Running through the castle playing tag," He said reminiscing.

"Yeah I do, I can run faster now," she joked, "the best part was not getting caught, why?"

"I think that even at the age of five I knew someday something or someone would bring us together for all eternity."

All Ami could do was sit and look confused. Zoicite knew the look: what are you saying and get on with it already. "Have you ever had a time in your life that you knew you had to do something before the moment would be gone forever?"

"Your stalling, what do you want to say to me?"

Zoicite got a very determined look on his face, reached into his pocket, pulled out a small box, and opened it. Ami just satin awe. It was the ring she had been looking at when she thought no one else was watching, but somehow he knew and bought it foe her. "Ami, will you do me the honor of being my wife?"

Ami did not know what to do she just started to cry and nod her head vigorously. When she started to calm down Zoicite looked like he had died and gone to heaven. He slid his chair around to her side of the table, took her hand, and put the ring on her finger he then kissed he in a most passionate way.

Because of the situation on Mercury and the urgency of the letter, Ami and Zoicite opted for a short engagement. They sat the date for six months off and then got to work planning the wedding. They had it outside while the sun was setting. The guests came from all over the Solar System and were very pleased to see the new Queen married. Ami had found a white dress that went off the shoulders with blue beads laced throughout it. She let her brides maids choose there dresses and they all looked alike but in different colors. Zoicite had on a white Tuxedo with a blue vest and so did the grooms men. All-in-all everything went according to plan and was beautiful, Ami and Zoicite couldn't think of a better way to have a wedding.

Within a three-year span of time the planet Mercury was thriving and beautiful again. Ami and Zoicite had one child and one on the way. And yes, the people accepted Zoicite just as Ami thought they would
