Chapter 3 - Amy's Big Moment

"Hut, two, three, four! Hut, two, three, four!" Grandpa said as he marched around the front of the shrine. "Clean up, clean up! We've got to keep this place nice and tidy for our guests and ourselves! Clean up! Clean up!"

Raye was sweeping the balcony of the fire room with her broom. Ugh, she thought to herself, it seems as if Grandpa's been doing this marching thing for ages. Why doesn't he stop?

Grandpa continued to talk and march, around to the back…

Chad was moving some things around, when he shuddered and pressed hardly on his forehead with his hands. "UHH! YAAAAH!" ye yelled.

Raye heard his screams and ran inside. "Chad! What's wrong," she asked.

"Uh… nothing, I'm fine," Chad said. He started laughing. "Ha, ha, ha, nothing, Raye, I'm ok!"

"CHAD, stop covering like that and tell me what's going on," Raye demanded with mean eyes staring at him.

"Uh, well, if you have to know," said Chad, "I was just moving this box when I felt something strange on my head, I felt something hot on my forehead, then I thought of you, and then that was it."

"Oh, how sweet," Raye said in a firm voice. "Now up you go! Hut, two, three, four!"

Chad got up as quickly as he could and continued moving the box, working twice as fast.

"Hut, two, three, four!" Raye yelled, following Chad all the way down through the hallway.

Meanwhile, in central Tokyo…

Amy arrived at the Tokyo train station half an hour early. She was wearing a bright, blue dress with blue star earrings, a blue pearl necklace and blue dress shoes. Amy really stood out that day over everyone else that was in the terminal.

Amy didn't know that, sitting on the mezzanine in the train station, wearing wide sunglasses and classy handkerchiefs around their heads, and sporting fur coats of the poorest quality, were Serena, Lita, Mina and Rini.

"There she is," Lita said quietly to the others.

"She's beautiful!" exclaimed Rini.

"Wow, she looks very pretty for such an IMPORTANT occasion…" Mina said.

"If it IS Greg, that is," added Lita.

They spotted Amy walking to the corridor that would take her to track 19.

"Let's go!" said Serena.

The four of them sneaked downstairs and followed Amy to track 19. Amy walked down to the middle of the platform, while the other girls went to what looked like a perfect hiding spot: one corner of the platform area had a trash can, a small shrub and a column, all together.

"I'm so excited!" whispered Rini. Rini was so excited that she didn't notice that her handkerchief, which kept her hair tied up, was becoming undone.

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE, the PA Announcer said. SHINKANSEN KODAMA TRAIN NUMBER 420 FROM OSAKA IS NOW ARRIVING ON TRACK 19.

Amy, with gleaming eyes and a beaming smile, watched as the train pulled into the station. The train's sleek aerodynamic nose slowly crept in, leading a parade of white colored rail cars. The white cars reflected the rays of the sun setting behind the train's path.

After the train came to a complete stop, the passengers started disembarking.

The first one off of the train, the conductor, spotted Amy's bright blue dress right away, bowed to her and said, "Good evening, miss, might I say that you are looking very nice tonight?"

"Uh… thanks!" replied Amy.

"You're welcome," said the conductor. "Have a nice day!" he said as he started helping passengers out.

Surprisingly, there seemed to be more passengers waiting for this train to go back to Osaka than there were passengers coming off of it. Which meant that it was very easy for Amy to be able to spot…

"GREG!" yelled Amy.

Greg, donned in his dark brown sports jacket, stepped off of the train about twenty yards down the platform, got his luggage together, and then spotted someone in a bright, blue dress. "AMY!" he yelled.

Amy ran down the platform like she had never run before.

Greg wanted to run up the platform, but had to walk, or else his arm would come off from the weight of the luggage.

"It's Greg!" said Rini from behind the shrub. "Quiet, you brat!" replied Serena in a soft voice.

Amy was still running toward Greg. When she got close, Greg set his luggage on the floor and opened his arms. "Hey, Amy!"

"Oh, GREG!" Amy shouted as she leaped into his arms. It was a tight embrace. Greg started to say, "How are you…" then stopped when he gazed at Amy's bright blue eyes. They held each other tightly and continued to look at each other.

This could be it!, thought the hiding Serena.

Amy started to bend her face toward Greg's, and then Greg bent his face forward.

They closed their eyes.

They shared a romantic kiss that was as soft and as sweet as cotton candy. It was their very first kiss together.

"Well, uh, did you get the fax, or are you happy to see me, or what?" asked Greg, smiling.

"Oh Greg! I don't want this moment to end!" Amy hugged Greg again.

Meanwhile, Serena, Lita, Mina and Rini were looking in awe from behind the shrub. Rini said, "Wow, they look so happy and romantic!" As she said this, her handkerchief fell off of her head, and her pink hair stuck out. None of the girls noticed because their eyes were focused like laser beams on Amy and Greg.

Amy and Greg were still hugging, when Greg noticed something down the platform. Greg let go of Amy and took a few steps.

"What is it, Greg?" asked Amy.

"Amy, come here a sec…" Greg said, pointing to a small shrub about thirty yards away. "Uh, Amy, I don't know what you think, but do evergreen trees have pink leaves?"

Amy stared down the corridor and saw pink hair, styled exactly like Rini's hair, sticking out from behind the shrub.

"Oh no! They're here!"

"Who's here?" asked Greg.

"Uh… Greg," Amy said, sweatdrops beaming on her head, "why don't we take the rear exit?"

"Amy, are you sure about that?"

"Please, Greg," she said with beaming eyes.

"Okay," Greg said with a smile.

They walked toward the rear exit. Serena jumped out and said to the others, "Hey! They're going the wrong way!"

"Let's go after them," said Mina.

They all walked out and started running down the platform bay in a tight pack. A few steps later, Serena trips over the bottom of her coat, and everyone behind her fall over like dominoes. "OW!" they said as they tumbled over.

A man in a dark uniform then stepped up to the pile of girls. "I'm sorry ladies," said the guard, "but you're not allowed here. I'll have to escort you to the exit now."

"Oh… IT'S NOT FAIR!!" yelled Serena. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"

The other girls had huge sweatdrops on their faces as they struggled to get up while listening to the crybaby.

But Amy and Greg didn't seem to pay any attention to them, as they walked down towards the exit. One of Greg's hands was clutched on the luggage; the other was clutched on Amy's hand. They looked at each other smiling as they walked out of the train terminal, the sun coming down after a very bright and happy day.

Now that Greg and Amy are back together again, what is it that Greg wants to talk to her about? Find out in Chapter 4 of THE SAGA OF MERCURY.
