Eyes For Jupiter

Chapter 11

I met up with the girls at three in the afternoon on the big day. Who would have thought that I, Sailor Jupiter would be a nervous wreck, but I am. Just on my way over to Rei's I dropped my dress three times, my shoes once and lost the entire contents of my overnight bag twice, which I finally managed to zip closed before I dropped it again.

I reached Rei's just as I dropped my shoes for the second time. "I thought I heard someone," smiled Rei in greeting.

"Hey Rei. Can you give a poor girl a hand?"

Rei immediately grabbed my bag and dress, while I picked up my shoes and joined the others who were already there.

Minako ran over and gave me a hug. "It's about time you got here."

"It's not exactly my fault. I had to clean up my apartment and then gather up all my things then, well, let's just say that I had a less than stellar walk over here."

"I can't blame you if you're nervous," said Ami. "I would be a total wreck if I had reservations there."

Rei brought in drinks for everyone and the conservation continued towards the restaurant and what deserts there would be there. All during this I noticed that Usagi was unusually quiet and all smiles.

"Usagi, what's going on in your head?" I asked.

"Oh nothing. I was just thinking about tonight. You and Rein look amazing together. I can't wait to see you two all decked out together." She said with a wink.

I looked over at Rei and the others, "You know I think she may know something that I don't. Do you know what she's talking about?"

"Oh she's just being her normal blond self." said Rei with a wink.

"Hey I heard that," yelled Usagi. And the fight was on...

After a few minutes of trying to talk over the two bickering, Minako finally broke in and said, "We better start getting ready, unless you want to go out in your jeans."

That got both of their attention and it was off to get every one made up and dressed.

I had finished putting on my make up and was just about ready to redo my hair in my usual ponytail style when Minako came over and said, "I think you should do something different. Something extra special for tonight. What do the rest of you think?" she asked the group.

There was an overwhelming yes from the other three.

"I have no idea how to do anything different." I said.

"No problem! My mom taught me some neat things." replied Minako.

I nervously looked at Rei and agreed to let her do what ever. I could always go take it out if it looked bad, right?

For the next hour I was at the mercy of Hairdresser Minako. I was not allowed to look in the mirror as I had my hair curled, pulled, pinned tucked and finally hair sprayed. Everyone was speechless at what Minako had created. After looking at all the surprised faces, I wasn't sure I wanted to turn around and look at myself. It was just at that time that Minako turned me around and I had no choice but to look.

I must have looked like a fish. My mouth had formed an o shape and my eyes nearly bugged out at my own reflection. I blinked thinking this couldn't be me. But I was still there looking exactly the same as when I was turned around. I was...well, stunning. My hair had been transformed from its usual pony to a very elegant french twist with soft curls falling down to my shoulders. I turned to Minako and nearly began crying. She held up a hand & said, "You are NOT going to cry now. You'll ruin your make up!"

With that, we all bust up laughing as I hugged Minako.

We all got back to finishing up our transformations into dinner divas. I got my dress and was putting it on when there was a knock on Rei's door. She motioned for me to get out of the line of site, so I complied. She was dressed all in red, which always looks marvelous on her. She left the room and I heard her familiar tone of you can't do that or else, but not what she was saying.

I pulled up my dress and Usagi was there to help me with the zipper. "Thanks."

"I was saving this for your birthday, but I think you need it now." said Usagi. "Mamo-chan and I picked it out for you."

Before I knew what she was talking about, she slipped a necklace around and fastened it. I glanced down at it and was stunned once again. It was a beautiful pink crystal rose on a delicate gold chain. I immediately turned and hugged Usagi. "Thank you so much! I love it!"

"Hey are you guys ready yet? I can't keep them out here much longer!" yelled Rei

Minako turned and told me to be last coming out so it'll be more dramatic for Rein. I really had no choice on it, as the others were already on their way out the door. I took one last look in the mirror took a deep breath and left the room.

Once outside, the entire gang was standing there. To be honest, I had no idea what their faces looked like. All I could see was Rein with a huge smile on his face.

He approached me and said, "I didn't think you could outdo gorgeousness, but I guess I'm wrong. You look like the universe came down and settled itself on you."

I actually blushed and looked down. He did it again! What is it about him to do this to me? I think I mumbled something along the lines of thanks you look fantastic too, but I can't recall exactly. Before I knew it, Rein turned to me an asked if I was ready. I nodded and turned to see a limo waiting with the door open.

"Your limo awaits." said Rein.

The entire gang was there to see both Rein and I off for our romantic dinner for two. I carefully hugged my best friends before getting in the limo.

One inside, I was thoroughly amazed. Never in my life had I been in a limo, and probably ever would be again. Rein soon entered and sat beside me. I turned to him and was about to open my mouth to ask him how he could afford this, he kissed me. I forgot everything I was thinking. His kisses always had a way to make me forget even my name.

"Now what were you going to ask me?"

Instead of answering, I just leaned in to kiss him again. He what can I say, I love his kisses and well, I can figure out the how later.

We ended our make out session just as the limo driver announced our arrival at the restaurant. I had just enough time to hastily pull myself together and put on more lipstick before the door was opened.

The driver opened the door to the limo, just like in my dreams. Rein stepped out soon after I, offered me his arm and on we went.

We entered the posh restaurant of my dreams and Rein told the Maitre d'who we were, and we were ushered in to the best seat in the whole place. I couldn't believe it. I could barely breathe with excitement. There was a small chamber music quintet playing in the far corner. The atmosphere was beyond what I could ever imagine. Before I knew it, wine was being poured and our orders were taken. Rein and I sat hand in hand across from each other, listening to the music while waiting for our first course to arrive.

I was still busy taking it all in. Our first course arrived and we ate in comparatible silence, neither of us needing to say anything. Once our main course arrived, I looked at Rein and smiled.

"Thank you." I said.

"For what?" he replied.

"For being wonderful."

Our main courses arrived next and again we ate in silence, with only the quintet and low murmurs of the other guests being heard.

We were just finishing our dinner when the quintet struck up a waltz. Other couples were moving to the dance floor. Rein stood up and gallantly offered me his hand.

"Madam, may I have this dance?"

I was speechless, but managed to nod and stand up. He escorted me to the floor and we began to waltz.

He was a wonderful lead. I didn't have to struggle at all. Usually all my dancing partners I had to lead, but not with him. With him it just felt natural and right. I didn't want to spoil the moment with talk, so I just closed my eyes and let him lead me to wherever. I didn't care. I was in love.

We danced for what seemed like just a few seconds when he twirled me around and held me at arms length. I opened my eyes to see him kneeling down in front of me with an open ring box. All the other couples dancing stopped and stared. Even the quintet stopped. My heart was racing. Could this be what I think? Could it?

"Kino Makoto, I love you with all my heart and soul. Will you do me the greatest honor in the world, in the universe and become my wife?" asked Rein.

He did it again. Only this time he did it real good. I was crying. There were few times in my life that I cried. I could count them on one had. But these were happy tears. Tears of pure joy. Patiently he waited for my answer. I must have looked like a fish to the crowd. I gathered up what was left of my wits and said "Yes. Nothing could ever possibly make me happier than to marry you."

With that said he placed the most beautiful ring on my finger, picked me up, swung me around and kissed me passionately in front of the entire restaurant, which erupted into thunderous applause.

Once we stopped kissing, an old couple came up to us and congratulated us and insisted on us dancing again. Before we knew it, we were the only ones on the dance floor and the music started. We danced for what felt like an eternity, just me and him. Nothing else mattered. The rest of the world could wait. Now was our time, our moment in the heavens.

Eventually we moved back to our table where dessert was waiting for us. I kept staring at my ring as I ate.

"I hope you like it. It was my mothers." said Rein.

"Rein, you could have given me a pop can tab and I would have loved it." I laughed. "It's the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. And to know it once belonged to your mother makes it even more precious to me." (AN: that's what I get for re-watching Lord of the Rings…"My precious….")

We eventually made it back to my apartment, by way of the limo. We walked up the two flights of stairs and I unlocked the door and was just about ready to walk in when he stopped me.

"Allow me."

He kissed me then scooped me up in his arms. "I know we're not married yet, but I couldn't wait."

I giggled and replied, "I feel like we did just get married. You have made me the happiest person in the world."

He carried me in, closed and locked the door and proceeded to the bedroom. A wonderful end to my wonderful day.

(A/N: I am too mush in a hurry to complete this fanfic to write in the love scene right now. I need to get to the main stuff before I lose my momentum again. Maybe later I'll go back and edit this little chappy)
