After getting dressed, she called for the scouts to regroup in front of the hotel where they found two cabs waiting. Ami gave the cab drivers the address and the scouts piled in, still confused from lack of explanation. When they arrived at the church where the wedding was scheduled to be, their confused only increased.

But as usually, she had been right. They found Michiru and Haruka holed up in one of the confession booths, their entrance blocked by a pew which had been inexplicable pushed up against the door. They got the sky and ocean senshis to the hospital immediately. Luckily, someone had installed an air conditioner in the confessional booth, otherwise they might have been cooked like a couple of turkeys. After a doctor looked them over, it was announced that treatment would only amount to fluids and some bandages for Haruka's knuckles, as she had tried breaking down the heavy wooden door of the confessional with her fists.

"Wait, so how did you know where we were?" Haruka asked from her hospital bed. Even though the treatment was minimal, the doctor had insisted that she and Michiru be admitted for a few hours. Michiru sat up in a bed next to her, the cloth curtain that would have otherwise separated them pulled back.

"It hit me while Makoto and I were talking." Ami answered, "She said that she should have confessed a long time ago, and that reminded me of the church and the confessional booth. When I added that in with a couple of other clues, I just knew."

"Wait, what clues?" As usual, Makoto was amazed by Ami's intelligence, but she had no idea how she had come to this answer.

"Yeah, Velma, tell us how you solved the mystery." Rei saw the confused looks on Haruka and Michiru's faces. "Oh, we've been referencing Scooby Doo like crazy this trip."

"First, and this didn't stick out to me as a clue at the time, but while you were on that stage at the con, you yelled out that you were getting married. Secondly, the cemetery where the cultists took us was near the church. It would have been just a hop, skip, and jump away from whatever the cultists were doing later." She explained.

"Wait, you figured out that we were there from just that?" Makoto said incredulously. She mentally fist-pumped—her girlfriend was freaking amazing.

Ami shrugged in response. "Well, it was a hunch. I could've been wrong."

"Hell, we knew Ami was smart." Haruka said. "But I didn't know she was so hot-headed—what's this about punching a stripper?!"

"Psh, compared to the rest of the story, that's the boring part!" Minako replied before Ami could explain. "You guys missed out on quite the show when we investigated the strip club!" The mention of 'the show' caused Setsuna, Ami, and Makoto to all groan. Minako might have gotten over the trauma, but the other three hadn't.

"Did it involve your new hair style?" Michiru said playfully. "You look so much like my wife now—she might have a cause for concern." She winked, causing Minako to blush and run her hand through her short hair. Everyone laughed, glad to see Minako get teased for once.

A few hours later, the pair were discharged and everyone returned to the hotel with orders to sleep in and wait until noon to report in at Haruka and Michiru's room for the wedding preparations. After the events of the day, no one objected.

Makoto had entertained mischievous plans to pick up where their kiss had left off earlier, but her body refused and she ended up passing out as soon as she crawled into bed. When her eyes opened again, the room was barely lit by the rays of light that managed to pierce through the thick curtains over the windows. Behind her, the sound of gently snoozing caught her attention and she realized that she was the little spoon surrounded by the big spoon that was Ami, her arm thrown over Makoto's side and her breath tickling the back of Makoto's neck. At first, she was afraid it was just a dream, but the events of the past day whirled through her mind and assured her that this was no illusion. She hit the snooze button on her phone and rolled over, snuggling into Ami, who unconsciously pulled her closer. Ami quickly dozed off knowing that reality was now better than any dream could ever be.
