Seiya-kun suggested to get married after christmas so that the
relatives won't hassle us to marry as soon as possible. Next day was
Christmas Eve, and I'd promised my parents I'd eat dinner and exchange
presents with them.
      Actually, I had bought presents for almost everyone inn my 
family. I even got Luna a nice bow to grow old gracefully in with 
Artemis. For additional fun, I got Luna and Artemis 'his' and 'her' 
tags to put around them. Sure, they'll look like dogs but I couldn't 
find one that said 'Luna' and 'Artemis' during such short notice.
      At work, Okinu-san was in the Christmas mood and let us off 
early. Mamoru gave me a Christmas card and went off. I ran to the 
nearest pharmacy, snatched a nice card, scribbeled my name down and 
ran after him. I gave him the card, pecked him on the cheek and wished 
him, "Merry Christmas, Mamo-chan," and went off. I couldn't afford to 
be late for a family gathering. Besides, I didn't use my father's car 
as I was far too lazy.
      I opened the door to the house when I saw more than just my 
family. I saw everybody there! Mina-chan, Mako-chan, Rei-chan, 
Ami-chan, Setsuna-san, Haruka, Michiru, just everybody!
      "Usagi, I tried to prevent them from coming, but they just 
barged in," mama said.
      "Usagi, you'd better appreciate all the concerts Yuuichirou and 
I had to cancel just to come over! Rei said. Same old Rei.
      "Usagi, Rei's right!" Everyone else chorused.
      Rei gave me a preview of her next album with Yuuichirou. Ami 
gave me another of her self-written computer programs, Mako-chan gave 
me strawberry cake and Mina-chan made a homemade christmas ornament. 
Which explained the small plaster on her finger.
      Haruka and Michiru shared their money to get me a cute 
alarm-clock in the shape of a rabbit. Hotaru and Souichi gave me a 
homemade card while Setsuna gave me a cream coloured dress. Everybody 
gasped at the sight of it. The dress was much similiar to a wedding 
dress, except that it was lacier and pink & gold trimmings around the 
skirt. It also had a long glittering bow at the back. Setsuna then 
whispered to me, "All the better to marry Seiya with, Usagi,"
      The rest sang a Christmas song that they created in 5 minutes. 
It was pretty good.
      I gave everyone their presents until I forgot about a present for 
papa. I apologised when he said, "I don't care about presents. Your 
gift is  your marriage with Seiya," The whole house went silent.
      For those who knew it was all right for them. Why did there had 
to be to many of us who didn't know? I felt uneasy at the looks and 
stares.
      "Seiya?" Mina-chan asked.
      "As in Kou Seiya, the man standing next to Yaten?" Makoto asked.
      "Yes, my fiance," I said softly. They heard what they wanted to 
hear. I thought they were going to bombard me with advices and such 
when Haruka came to me and patted my back.
      "And I thought you had good taste in men, Usagi," Michiru gave a 
quick glance at Haruka who quickly continued, "But who am I to get in 
the way of your life? You want to make it worse than it alreeady is, 
fine,"
      Shingo spoke up, "Haruka, do you know although you're sarcastic, 
you still can't beat Yaten?" Yaten-kun blushed and everybody laughed.
      "HeywaitaminutewhereisChibiusaIhaven'tseenhersincethatday," 
Hotaru asked. I thought she'd know.
      "Hotaru, if Usagi's getting married to Seiya, how can Chibiusa 
exist?" Luna said. The others were pretty stunned to hear Luna talk in 
front of everybody.
      "Luna, are you ever going to marry Artemis? Or maybe you want to 
and date other cats first?" mama joked. The others didn't know that I 
had told my family all about my being Sailormoon after defeating 
Galaxia.
      "Luna gave a small wail and snuggled closer to Artemis. Artemis's 
face turned red.
      "Why didn't you say that you were getting married? I bet all of 
us are willing to help you get your wedding planned. Are we?" Mina-chan 
turned to everyone. All of them, including Haruka nodded. I felt lucky 
to have such good friends.
