One obvious choice was to pass this duty onto one of the other scouts. After all, she reasoned, being married would cut into her study time. The problem she immediately ran into was who to pass it on to?
A quick glance showed the other scouts smiling compasionately at her or showing some amount of trepidation on thier faces. No, that choice was simply out of the question.
Could she convince the dangerous luna... er, powerful prince that she already had a love interest? Sighing mentally, she had to admit that this scheme had the same problems as her first... namely, who would step in and take over?
'Well, I guess that the truth will just have to do.' Ami decided with a quick nod. 'I'll just tell him that I'm not interested in that type of relationship.'
Clearing her throat, she raised her eyes upwards to see Vegita hovering in midair calmly staring back at her. "Wel... well." She began, only to be forced to swallow the lump that had suddenly appeared in her throat. Unfortunately for her, this resulted in a slight nod by her head in an effort to swallow.
"Congratulations, Ami!" Moon squeeled out loud, drawing the shorter girl into a tight hug. "I hope you're as happy with your husband as I will be with mine!" Usagi had to admit that she was happy. Her husband to be was still alive and in one peace. Her kingdom to be was gaining a VERY powerful ally. Hopefully, Ami would be happy and able to rein in the dangerous tendencies of the pyschopa... er, powerful prince.
"Way to go, girl!" Jupiter was always willing to offer praise where it belongs, as long as it left her off the hook.
"You got yourself a major hunk!" Venus exclaimed, although not without hiding the amount of relief in her voice.
"I assume that you'll want the ceremony at the temple?" Rei asked her friends soon to be significant other.
Vegita carefully considered his options. His people might be considered brutal barbarians, but he had softened significantly over the years. In order to cement this alliance, it would be better to have an Earthling ceremony. "Whatever the woman wants." He grunted with a dismissive wave of his hand.
"Right." Mars nodded thoughtfully, her mind already going over the details to be taken care of. "Give me a couple of days to arrange everything."
"Understood." He growled as he floated down to land before his future wife. "Shall we go?" He asked in his normal 'polite' tone of voice.
"Ex.. ex... excuse me?" Ami whispered, her eyes seemingly to take up the majority of her face. 'What just happened?' She asked herself, striving to drive off the feeling of shock invading her body.
Vegita stared at his woman suspicisiously for a second before waving a hand in front of her face. Not getting a reaction, he turned towards the others. "What's wrong with her?" He growled out, crossing his arms across his chest to show his annoyance.
Surprisingly enough, it was Usagi who was the only one quick enough to come up with an answer. "Just a bit of a shock!" She hastened to assure him. "You know how delicate girls are!"
"Ah." He nodded in agreement, turning his attention back to the woman in front of him.
What happened next surprised him, but he was too much the veteran warrior to show it. The blue haired girl's power level shot up suddenly as her hand blurred out of sight. When he could see it again, her tiny fist was latched onto the fuku of the blonde girl before she was jerked close. He couldn't hear what was said by his woman, but he did see the blonde wearing twin ponytails pale and nod her head rapidly before being released.
Ami closed her eyes briefly and took a deep breath. Opening them, she locked onto her fiance's face. "The first thing we need to do is:"
