Chapter 5: Coming Up With a Plan
I stared at my so called mother in disbelief. Who the hell does she think she is? Does she think she’s one of those ancient matchmakers the can go and pick who everyone will marry herself? God I hate her! It was one thing for her to arrange my marriage, but no way in hell should she be able to arrange MY Michiru’s marriage and to that bastard Seiya, no less. I should kill her!
“Excuse me, Sakura-san,” Michiru began, “but don’t you think it’s a little weird for you to arrange my marriage. I don’t even love Seiya-san.” My mom turns to her with veins popping in her head.
“For a girl like you not to love Seiya-san, it must mean that you’re gay!” She screamed and whipped out her sword out of nowhere again. God, where in the world does she keep that thing. Maybe in the same place I keep my Space Sword. Michiru looks at my mom in fear. It looks like she’s ready to fake a relationship with Seiya now. That sort of pissed me off.
“I love him! I love him!” She yelled and grabbed on to Seiya’s arm for her life. My mom looks pleased at this, but I didn’t. Why was MY woman clinging to a bastard like that? This had to be set right. We needed a plan and soon. Before this joint marriage could happen. Maybe the inners could help us.
“Mom,” I said, “Do you mind if we all went over to our friends and you and dad stayed here? We’ll only be gone for awhile.” My mom nods for some strange reason. I never would have guessed she would willingly let us all leave her and dad here by themselves. Just how many hosts do that anyways? Oh well, it bought us time to come up with a plan to get out of the marriage. We all say good bye and leave. Me, Michiru, and Setsuna hope in my car. The Star Lights hope in their van. We all leave. Along the way, I figure it’d be a good idea to pick up Hotaru. Surprisingly, her father agrees quickly.
A while later we all arrive at Rei’s temple. Luckily, all the inners are there. We all head in. The inners are happy to see us. Did I ever mention how cute they are? Oh wait, I think I did when this all began. Well in case you forgot, I’ll remind you.
“Listen guys,” I told them, “we have a problem.”
“What sort of problem?” They all ask. God, they can be so cute at times.
“My mom has gone crazy. She’s completely homophobic and she just arranged that I marry Mamoru-san and Michiru marry that bastard, Seiya.” Usagi screams.
“NO! Haruka-san can’t marry Mamo-chan! He’s mine! I’m going to marry him! WAH!” She starts to cry. I run over to comfort her before we all drown in her tears.
“Don’t worry Odango-chan!” I told her, “I don’t want to marry Mamoru-san. It’s all my mother’s idea. In fact, this marriage may not happen if we can think of a good plan before next week.” All the inners start to think.
“Well, you could tell your parent’s the truth.” Minako suggested.
“That won’t work.” Michiru told her, “She waves her magical sword at anyone she even suspects is gay. If we tell her, then it will be seppuku time for the both of us.” She was right. Tell my mom and the entire seppuku ritual would be set up in minutes. We needed a better plan then that.
“Maybe we could have your parents arrested.” Makoto suggested.
“Nah, what has jail time ever did to change a person?” I asked. There have been so many people that go to jail for committing a crime then they get out of jail and commit the same crime again. That solution would only be temporary. Ami looks thoughtful. I look at her with hope. If anyone can think of a good plan to get out of this, it’s her. She’s got to be the smartest girl alive.
“I’ve been thinking,” She said, “this whole problem is the result of that contract.” Yeah, of coarse it is. She’s not going to suggest we take to contract to court is she?
“Well if it just so happened to be destroyed without a trace,” She continued, “then Haruka-san would not have to be controlled by it. No court would make her go through with it without the proof.” Oh Ami, I could kiss you! Why didn’t I think of that? That has got to be the best idea ever.
“But how are we going to destroy it?” Chibi-usa pops out of nowhere to ask. Well it seems she came from the future to visit again.
“Chibi-usa, what are you doing here?” Usagi asked her.
“Mama sent me to help Haruka-san and Michiru-san.” She said, “Now how are we going to destroy the contract.” Ami is writing something down.
“Well it’d be best to observe Haruka’s parents before we act. We can use this wedding as an excuse to hang around them. Mako-chan, Minako-chan, and I can be Haruka’s bride’s maids. Usagi-chan, Rei-chan, and Setsuna-san can be Michiru’s. Hotaru-chan can be the ring bearer. Chibi-usa can be the flower girl. Taiki-san can be Mamoru-san’s best man. Yaten-san can be Seiya-san’s. Any questions?” We are all probably a bit confused after that, but we decide not to ask questions. We all cram into my car and the Three Light’s van and head off to my house.
