Chapter Four:
The two months prior to the wedding, Duo and Trowa moved into the mansion so Relena wouldn't feel so lonely. Relena's time was spent between work, two balls, three public speeches, Monday movie nights with Duo and Trowa at the mansion, and a date with Duo every Friday night.
The Day of the Wedding: (two hours before the wedding)
Relena's dress had spaghetti stapes, was fitted (major cleavage!), and mid thigh length with a small slit on the side that went to three inches below her hips (three inches above the hem). It hugged her curves perfectly. She wore all pink diamonds accessories (earrings, a necklace, and a pink diamond and onyx bracelet). She finished off the dress with black three-inch high heels and a pink diamond and onyx ankle bracelet. She wore pink sparkly eye shadow and pink lip gloss and matching pink nail polish. Her hair was up in a bun (like when she was Queen Relena-I love her hair like that!). She looked at herself in the mirror. "Is it too much?"
The guys looked up from their tying their ties. Their mouths dropped and they stared as she turned to look at her backside in the mirror.
"It looks wonderful Relena!" Trowa smiled at Relena. He had always felt like an older brother to her and he was proud to see her in something that showed of her body for once. Although he had a feeling that if Zechs saw it he'd have a fit.
Duo whistled. "Wow, Princess, that looks gorgeous!"
"Thanks guys. You look pretty good yourselves."
Duo wore the new black tux, a purple dress shirt under the jacket, a purple silk tie, amethyst cufflinks, and shiny black dress shoes while Trowa wore the new black tux, a green dress shirt under the jacket, a green silk tie, jade cufflinks, and shiny black dress shoes. "Thanks." They said in unison.
After they were ready, they hopped in Trowa's Avalanche and went to the wedding. They were an hour early (um…Relena's really paranoid about being late) so they sat down in the second row on the right side. Wufei joined them about five minutes later (he's paranoid about being late too). He was dressed in a black dress shirt, black dress pants, and shiny black dress shoes (can you guess his favorite color? ;P). The four of them got into a conversation so they didn't notice Heero walking down the aisle towards them.
"Thanks for coming, guys."
The foursome stopped talking and looked to the row in front of them. Heero was sitting in a chair facing them.
"Hello Heero." Relena said with a real smile.
"Hey buddy." Duo had a smile on his face as well.
"Heero."
"Yuy."
"Hey guys. Can I talk to Relena and Duo for a second?"
"Sure." They both said and got up and followed Heero into the hall.
"I just wanted to tell you that Hilde and I are really glad you two came, after everything that's happened."
"Forgive, forget, and then move on is one of my mottos. You know I try to never hold a grudge, especially against my best friend." Duo said with a smile.
"That goes double for me. I couldn't call myself a Peacecraft if I held a grudge against you."
A single tear slid down Heero's left cheek. "You're the greatest friends Hilde and I could've ever asked for. We're lucky that you two found us."
Relena hugged Heero. "Yes you are. We've stuck with each other through thick and thin."
Duo put his hand on Heero's shoulder. "And that's not about to change anytime soon."
"You're right. Thank you." Heero hugged Relena back. When he released her, he shook Duo's hand.
"Would you mind if I go say hi to Hilde?"
"Of course not, she's in the second door on the left when you walk in the door."
"Thanks." Relena started for the church.
When Relena was far enough away, Heero asked "So what's going on with you and Relena?"
"What do you mean?"
"You've been her date to the balls she's gone to lately, you've been seen with her at Trowa's restaurant every Friday night for the past two months, and you've moved into the mansion. I'd say something's going on."
Duo was slightly shocked. "…You're still checking up on her."
Heero grinned and shrugged. "Old habits are pretty hard to break. I tried but I had a nightmare that night. Relena always says that nightmare's are predictions if you don't listen to them. I'd rather stay on the safe side and keep checking on her."
Duo chuckled.
"Don't tell Relena that I'm still checking on her. I'd get an earful if she knew."
"Sure buddy. It's just between you and me."
"Thanks. So what's happening between you two?"
"…I think I'm in love with her."
Heero smiled. "Good."
Duo looked at him. "Good? What do you mean?"
"You look good together. Treat her good or you know you'll have me to answer to."
"Thanks…I think."
"I've got to get ready so I'll see you at the reception."
"Okay." Duo headed back to his seat.
Relena knocked on the second door on the left.
"Who is it?"
"It's been a while Hilde."
"Relena!" Hilde rushed to the door and opened it.
The two friends hugged and Relena was pulled inside.
"You look wonderful Hilde!"
"Thanks! I'm so glad you came!"
"Miss Relena, you look beautiful!" Dorothy exclaimed.
Hilde looked at Relena up and down. "Wow girl! That outfit looks fabulous!"
"Thanks. I'm matching Duo and Trowa."
"…Duo and Trowa are wearing black and pink?" Hilde and Dorothy asked.
Relena burst into giggles. "No, we're all wearing black and our other favorite color."
"Oh!" Hilde and Dorothy said in unison.
"That makes sense." Dorothy said.
"Yeah, since I can't picture Duo or Trowa being caught in pink!" Hilde said, causing the three girls to laugh.
Dorothy couldn't help but add "That'd definitely be a Kodak moment though!"
They pictured it in their minds and burst into giggles again.
"I'm gonna go sit with the guys. I'll see you guys at the reception."
"Okay. Bye!" Hilde and Dorothy said in unison.
