"Take a look at this," Karen says as she shows her phone to Usagi, Nekotani and Ruby one afternoon in the classroom.

"Hey, isn't that one of the wedding commercials they post every year?" Usagi asks.

"It seems like it," Nekotani says. "Wait a minute…isn't that…"

"That's right," Karen says. "It's Ai Hoshino dressed in a wedding dress for this commercial. Isn't she beautiful?"

Ruby looks at the screen as the commercial ends with her "husband" driving the open car and she tosses the bouquet. "Mama's a talented actress after all. She posted that before I was even born."

"I heard that they are going to do a whole new wedding commercial," Karen says as she puts away her phone. "When I say new, I say VERY new."

"What does that mean?" Usagi raises an eyebrow.

"I'm not sure if this is correct," Nekotani says as she holds her phone. "But I'm reading that there would be some sort of gay marriage commercial that are in the works."

"In the works?" Ruby says. "I never knew that. Mama would've told me this earlier."

"Why didn't she?" Karen asks. She stretches out her arms. "In any case, I want to see the set for myself. Maybe the three of us can be part of it, even if we are just cameos."

"Hmmm…that's not a bad idea," Ruby rubs her chin in thought. "I'll be sure to ask Mama about it after school."

"Please do~!" Usagi smiles.

**Later**

"The wedding commercial, you say?" Ai asks as soon as Ruby got home from school.

"My friends were talking about the whole new wedding thing today and I was curious what's so new about it," Ruby says.

Ai giggles and beckons her daughter to the couch. She whips out her phone and shows the website. Ruby's eyes widen as it says, "Gay Marriage" as the headline.

"Sh-she wasn't kidding…!" the blonde says.

"Ehehe! And as for the second bride to participate in this commercial~" Ai says as she puts away the phone. She playfully bops Ruby on the nose. "It's going to be you~"

Ruby's face goes tomato red and feels like fainting, but she tries to stay strong. "M-M-Me!? Me as the bride…along side you!?"

"Yup! It cannot be anyone else~" Ai replies.

Ruby is hyperventilating, just so surprised that she, Ai Hoshino's own daughter, gets to be chosen to be in this commercial. She puts her hand on her chest as she tries to catch her breath. "Haaah…haaah…s-so sorry, Mama. I'm just…so surprised…! Haah…haaah…!"

"Ehehe! Are you willing to do it? If not, I can choose somebody else~" Ai says.

"No, no, no, no!" Ruby flails her arms. "It's okay, it's okay! I'm in! I'm SO in!"

"Great~" Ai says. "Be sure to get some sleep tonight. The rehearsals start tomorrow."

"Alright, Mama~" Ruby nods excitedly. "Oh, oh, oh! Can I invite my friends to the set, too? They wanted to see it for themselves."

"Of course, sweetie~!" Ai says. "In fact, I'll have them participate as an audience if they want to~"

"Really~!? Thanks, Mama!" Ruby hugs her mother happily.

Ai hugs her daughter in return. "Now then, go wash up and do your homework if you have any."

"Yes, Mama!" the blonde hurries upstairs and texts her friends that they are invited to the commercial.

**Next Day**

It's set outside of the church and kids and grown-ups are gathered in front of it. Ai and Ruby are dressed in beautiful wedding gowns with bridal veils on their heads. Ruby is holding the bouquet. Ai takes Ruby's gloved hand with her own and winks at her. Karen, Usagi and Nekotani are part of the crowd that are gathered around the wedded couple, each wearing different colored short dresses. Black for Karen, pink for Usagi and yellow for Nekotani.

"All you need to do is run with me down the stairs while the crowd cheers for us~" Ai says. "We hop in the car and when it drives off, you throw the bouquet. It's that easy, Rubles~"

"O-okay," Ruby says, holding up her bouquet. "I won't let you down!"

"And we're rolling!" Miyako says. "Places, people!"

Everyone scrambles to get to their assigned places. Ruby squeezes Ai's hand, feeling a bit nervous, but this is just rehearsals. The real thing isn't going to be uploaded until everything is going the way it should be.

"And…action!" Miyako calls.

The crowd cheers, shooting poppers, streamers and confetti as Ai and Ruby happily run down the stairs, holding hands. But Ruby trips on her long skirt and falls flat on her face, dropping the flowers. The crowd gasps and Ai cups both a hand to her mouth.

"Cut!" Miyako calls and face palms.

"Rubles," Ai says, helping her daughter up. "Rubles, easy there. Are you alright?"

"Uuuuu…" Ruby whines as she turns to her mother, tears stinging her eyes. "I messed up….!"

"It's only rehearsals," Ai says. "We can try as many times as we like. I'm sure Miyako-san wouldn't mind." She turns to her manager, who just shrugs and waves a hand dismissively.

Nekotani leans in to whisper in Karen's ear. "Who knew Ruby would be a klutz?"

"Quiet, you," Karen gives her a cold stare.

"Alright, places, people!" Miyako claps her hands, ordering the staff to get to their assigned places again. "And Action!"

Once again, they take it from the top. Ruby and Ai run down the stairs with smiles on their faces while the crowd cheers for them. They make it past the stairs and start running toward the car. But Ruby trips on her skirt yet again, falling flat on her face. Ai helps her daughter up again.

"Cut!" Miyako shouts.

Ai gives her daughter a worried expression as she wipes her face with a tissue. "Rubles, are you having trouble walking in that dress? Maybe the tailors made a huge mistake."

"N-no, I'm fine," Ruby says. "Let's keep going. I got this."

"Are you sure?" Ai says.

"I'm sure!" Ruby says. "I can totally nail it this time!"

Ai is sure that is pretty unconvincing, but she shrugs it off. Ruby is that determined. She turns to Miyako and the brunette claps her hands.

"Alright, everyone! Take it from the top!" she calls.

Ruby walks with Ai toward the stairs again. But she sees some concerned expressions on their faces. Karen, Usagi and Nekotani are also worried about her. What if she trips again? It will be very troublesome for Strawberry Productions as a whole, even though this is just rehearsals.

"And…action!" Miyako calls.

Ruby and Ai start out slow this time. They smile as they head down the stairs with the cheering crowd. Unfortunately, a piece of confetti gets on Ruby's nose and she starts to sneeze, making her fall down again. Miyako shakes her head.

"Cut!" she calls. "Ugh, this is nuts. Everyone take 5!"

Ruby raises her head, whining again, tears stinging her eyes. "Uuuu…I'm sorry, Mama. It was the confetti this time! I'm such a klutz. I don't know what's wrong with me…!"

"Nothings' wrong," Ai pets her daughter. "It must be the dress. Those tailors must not be paying attention to the size."

"Is there any way to solve this?" Ruby asks. "I mean, the deadline is at least a week away."

"Ara…I think I may have a solution~" a cheery voice says from their right.

Karen's Mother, Hanako Inukai, appears with a hand cupped to her cheek.

"Inukai-san?" Ai says.

"I have these spare wedding dresses back at home we can try on~" Hanako says. "I just saw them on sale and bought them without second thought~"

"Let's go with those then," Ai says. "Are the skirt lengths okay?"

"Oh, they are more than okay~" Hanako says. "You see, these wedding dresses are like none other. The skirts are actually cut open. So it'll be much easier for you two to walk in them~"

"EEEEH!?" Ruby squeaks. "W-w-w-wait, does that mean we show off our legs in those dresses!?"

"Ehehe! I don't mind in the slightest~" Ai says.

"Great, then I'll be there in a jiffy~" Hanako says as she holds up her car keys.

"Huh? You're going right now?" Ruby asks.

"Rehearsals aren't over yet anyways," Hanako says. "i should be back within 15 minutes. Until then…why don't you two be all lovey dovey with each other or talk to Karen and her friends~?"

With that, Hanako is well on her way back to their apartment. Ruby turns to her mother with a confused expression.

"Is Auntie Miyako patient enough to let us swap our wedding dresses?" she asks.

"I'll let her know," Ai says. "I'm sure she wouldn't mind some changes. But for now…let me calm you down a bit~" She cups both hands to Ruby's cheeks and leans in to give her a passionate kiss.

Ruby eagerly accepts it and they kiss for over a minute before pulling away and carefully walk toward Karen and her friends for a friendly talk. Ai goes to Miyako to let her know about the changes.

**Later**

By the time Hanako returns, Ai and Ruby quickly change. It doesn't take long for them to do so and when they are finished, they come out of the church, wearing Hanako's wedding dresses. The skirts are open to show Ai and Ruby's beautiful legs, clad in white thigh high stockings with frills at the top and white high heels on their feet. Everyone stares at the two, looking up and down at their appearances, some are almost drooling. Their large breasts are barely contained by the white cups.

"Dude is that…"

"No way…that is way too sexy for a wedding ceremony!"

"Who cares!? I love it!"

"Maybe now the show will go on without any trouble!"

"Will they even allow this on TV?"

Ruby and I head toward the stairs of the church, holding hands and turn around to face the cameras. Miyako sits on her chair, crossing one leg over the other.

"And…action!" she calls.

And once again, they take it from the top. The crowd cheers, Ruby and Ai running while holding hands down the stairs and all the way toward the car. They hop in and Ai takes the wheel. She starts to drive off. Ruby turns to the crowd, holds the bouquet and tosses it in the air.

"And…scene!" Miyako claps her hands, signaling the camera men to stop filming. "Very good! This shall be our new commercial folks."

Ai stops the car, turns around to see the crowd cheering. She smiles and turns toward her daughter.

"How was that, Rubles?" she asks. "Was that any better?"

"It was awesome~" Ruby replies. "I'm very glad Hanako-san got these for us."

"We should thank her later~" Ai winks.

**A Week Later**

Pretty soon, the commercial is uploaded and everyone gets a chance to see it. During lunch period, Karen, Usagi, and Nekotani head to Ruby's class room. Karen whips out her phone to open up the video that was posted. The wedding commercial plays.

The scene is fantastic. The image of Brides Ruby and Ai running toward the cameras with smiles on their faces, holding hands and heading to the car. And as they drive off, Ruby tosses the bouquet and that ends the commercial.

"You two looked great," Usagi says. "I'm very glad we got to solve the issue."

"We also get to see us in the background~" Nekotani says.

"A job well done, Ruby," Karen says. "I'm very proud of you and your mom."

"I want to thank your mom as well," Ruby says with a smile. "She helped us solve the issue~"

"I'm sure Mom appreciates it very much~" Karen says with a small smile in return.
