[she bites back the "no one made you do those things but you" comment]

It's not like I was doing all that great back home... so...

[aiwillneversmile]

[clever girl]

. . . I know. I'm sorry for pushing you again.

[aididitmyway]

... Don't apologize for that. I just... need to do things at a different pace than you.

[aiwillneversmile]

Ruby, you don't want to do the movie. I wouldn't blame you if you said you didn't want to be an idol anymore, either. Directly or indirectly, I've been pushing you a lot.

[aididitmyway]

I'd rather not do the movie. I just... I'm not good at acting like you are and there's just a lot going on and it's a lot of pressure to try to be mama.

I just wish being an idol could be like those idol animes where nothing bad ever happens.

[aiwillneversmile]

I'm not good at acting. I just learned from Ai and the director, and I never stopped trying.

Mm, but you've realized that real life isn't like that. So, you can give up, if you want to. I mean, you reached your goal already, didn't you?

[aididitmyway]

What makes you think I've reached my goal?

[aiwillneversmile]

You wanted to find me, didn't you?

[aididitmyway]

I did.

But I want to do everything mama didn't get a chance to, too.

[aiwillneversmile]

[cracks a small smile]

Such as?

[aididitmyway]

Mm...

The Tokyo dome. And I want to have a happy family like she wanted.

[aiwillneversmile]

You'll reach the dome easy. That wasn't a question.

And she had a happy family. But it wouldn't hurt to see you in a white dress someday.

[aididitmyway]

She did have a happy family, but I want one just like it. And if I got the white dress, you'd have to walk me down the aisle.

[aiwillneversmile]

Oi, were you thinking of someone else doing that? That's my right, and I'm not conceding it ever.

[aididitmyway]

[flatly, trying to keep a straight face:]

I thought Ichigo would be a good choice.

[aiwillneversmile]

The man who was missing for thirteen years and dumped us on Miyako.

. . . Sure, if that's your first pick, go ahead.

[aididitmyway]

He's closer to being banned than he is to actually being in it.

[aiwillneversmile]

Good, I was wondering what kind of doppelganger I was dealing with.

[aididitmyway]

I promise that I'm not going to let him near anything important with my wedding.

[aiwillneversmile]

Just invite him. Considering he's the reason we even know about Ai, he's almost like your grandfather.

[aididitmyway]

I didn't say I wasn't going to invite him, just that he doesn't get to help with anything unless he can use his connections to get me a good venue or something...

[aiwillneversmile]

Make him foot the whole bill. And come up with an outlandish registry. Then, we can think about calling it square.

[aididitmyway]

Good idea.

I think it'll be the perfect wedding, then...

[aiwillneversmile]

Just have to find the right guy.

[what is that menacing chime in the background, must be their imagination. but still slightly defeated as he orders food]

[aididitmyway]

You'd better not be planning on scaring everyone off.
