"So, this is what you wanted our help with?" Haruka stared around the hall with her mouth agape. They bumped into Michiru on her way from the training wing and Ami asked her to follow them to the Grand Hall. The two outer senshi shook their heads when they saw the damage that had already been done to the room.

"Ami-chan…. I'm not sure what you were thinking but it's not exactly like I can make a huge ice sculpture disappear with the drop of a hat."

Jadeite appeared next to Haruka as she finished speaking, nearly scaring her out of her skin.

"Jade-chan, you weasel. Haven't I told you to stop sneaking up on people?" Haruka fumed putting her hands on her hips.

"Aha, yes you have. More importantly, I have a solution to our little ice-cepades problem here."

Jadeite started laughing at his own pun and Nephrite slapped him on the back of his head and told him to stop fooling around.

"Ow. Anyways, I figured that maybe since Michiru-chan knows how to manipulate water that we could un-freeze the column and she could harness it into a ball and Haruka-chan could blow the floor dry while we get rid of the water, yes?"

As Jadeite revealed his plan, he was hunch-backed and rubbing his hands together like an evil scientist while everyone stared at him with confused looks on their faces.

"You've got to be kidding me," Haruka said, flabbergasted.

"Uh, Jadeite, I feel you might not completely understand what our powers do and may be overthinking our capabilities," Michiru sighed and threw her damp hair over her shoulder.

Ami just stared at Jadeite and could only laugh as she felt her mind go a little crazy with all the stress she was currently enduring.

"Actually, now that I'm looking at it, Ami-chan, is there any way you could at least get the ice to thaw around the column? We could have the staff start cleaning the water from that and maybe we could have someone actually use the block of ice to sculpt something for the party," Haruka motioned to the column in front of everyone with the wheels turning in her mind.

Ami stood with her arms crossed and analyzed the situation.

"I could probably free the column if I could get help securing it back in place so that it doesn't fall through a wall or something of the like. I could be sure to minimize the water to help with any potential flooding that could occur so that we don't have any more ruined decorations."

Minako suddenly appeared out of thin air and exclaimed, "I can help with that!"

Artemis jumped onto Ami's shoulders quickly when he heard Minako's statement. "No way, absolutely not. Your "helping" is what got us into this mess in the first place!" He said this while motioning towards the center of the hall.

Just then, Rei came into the Grand Hall with Luna at her heels. Without seeing the gathering comity, she stopped in her tracks and her mouth fell open.

"What the-," she started, before being interrupted by Jadeite coming up beside her and scaring her, too.

"Ahhh! Jade-chan, stop doing that, I swear one of these days I will light you on fire for that," Rei yelled at her husband, clearly not amused with his playful antics on such an important day as today.

Jadeite briefly pouted at being scorned in front the rest of their family, and then quickly shifted his frown back into a grin.

"Well, it looks like you need my help even if you may not want it," Minako assumed, not taken back by the glares thrown in her direction.

Ami chimed in, "Well, we'd better get started on at least trying to fix the mess; otherwise we won't have enough time."

With that, the crew teamed up to try and solve the iceberg situation.


Once again, short chapter. Still trying to push this story forward so that I can finish it up. I don't really like how this part is going because I have an idea but it's hard for me to convey into words just how I want it to go so I apologize for this chapter being a little stagnant. Thanks for reading.
