Note: Hmmmmm… I'm not sure what to say just yet. Let me see first. It's a Minako fic
by the way. Alternate Universe… kind of. I can't really say. It's more like the girls not
being Sailor Senshi or anything. This prologue is exactly was it is. A prologue. Wait…
well some are longer. Well this is short. Short just to get the ball rolling. It's one scence
and it's comedy. I umm… hope.

MORE THAN A WOMAN
PROLOGUE
"I think it's about time for a boyfriend again in my life," Minako's mouth sputtered out
as her large blue eyes crystallized over Rei's head across the table where the two sat in
the crowded mall food court. There she spotted a team of three boys from school moving
into the area pass the arcade playfully pouncing each other as they moved in like boys do.
Rei took a huge bite out of her Taco Bell burrito and rolled her eyes consent to turn and
look and see who Minako had her eyes on lately. Nobody special. The dark-haired girl
took a sip of her drink and dappled at her lips with a satisfied sigh.
"Minako, you never had a boyfriend," Rei rummaged about dipping her hands into her
purse to gather a stick of gum.
Minako gave Rei a daring look. Daring her to bring proof over what she'd just said. No
need to dare really considering Minako would lose for sure. Still…
Minako arched her back over the table forcing her face into Rei's who looked up with a
gasp. "Ah, Rei why do you have to go be a menace all the time," the blond growled and
settled back down as Rei popped a stick of gum in her mouth. Minako closed her eyes
folding her arms in a pout slamming herself back into her seat. "It's not fair," she whined
sweepingly.
"Why don't you stop looking all the time and just wait," suggested Rei.
"Because!" Minako slammed her angry fist onto the table sending it quaking. "I'm
young!" she offered. "Young and pure and innocent and…" she thought up the
reasoning. "Because I'm young!"
"Eighteen," Rei slumped.
"Ahhhh!" Minako kicked back her chair in her logic adrenaline of social dictatorship
excitement. Her chair toppled to the floor as she stood sharp and long with her left palm
pressed into the table and her right hand in a balled up fist against her chest as she looked
up like a statue pleading to the heavens filled with righteous. "Eighteen is the perfect age
for a pure hearted young lass like me," she stated not caring that the crowd was giving
her crazy looks. Rei on the other hand slumped in her seat pulling her purse over her
head.
"Minako," Rei hissed.
"I mean think about it!" Minako whirled and suddenly she was in a world blazing with
pink and green clouds dreamingly holding onto her one dear wish. A true love. She felt
in heaven. "Just think about it Rei! Seventeen and in love is the best time of someone's
life. You're just an age away from being an adult and you can travel to adult hood in the
purist alongside a handsome man!" Minako opened her eyes and looked at her handsome
model-type stud and her lips quivering with entice she kissed his handsome rough manly
cheeks and looked him dreamingly into the eyes. "My love," she said softly. "Why
doesn't this young desperate girl gets that a man is needed in a girl's life? Just… just…
just take me away…" the blond did a dramatic faint in the arms of her "handsome stud."
"Ummm… Minako!" Rei's sweaty hot face dipped deeper into her seat as she watched
her best friend settled so quickly into the arms of one of the food court janitors who
happened to be a stubby middle-age man burning red with excitement at the arms and lips
of the strange blond girl who'd threw herself into his.
Minako sighed and turned her eyes toward Rei asking what now. Minako's universe of
clouds dispersed at what Minako caught as Rei's insensitive negativity.
Rei pointed a shallow small finger to the man holding Minako.
Minako turned.
Her face grew pale as a ghost as her eyes went stabbing into a pair of donkey lips
preparing for another romantic plug.
Sweat beads dabbled Minako and her twisted-looking face and with a howl the blond shot
out the stranger's arms throwing herself back unstopping until she hit the next table her
arms protectively over her chest and face with her left leg up as if preparing to kick. It
was just too traumatic. Minako was shaking.
The janitor opened his mouth to speak but fast-action Rei purposely pushed a shopping
bag in his face as she gathered both her and Minako's and stood hurrying to get to
Minako's side her legs long and stern as she marched, grabbed the traumatized blond and
exited the food court with as much grace as her flustered body could.
"How embarrassing," Rei mumbling keeping her head low as she moved through the
crowd practically carrying along a frozen Minako.
Rei didn't stop until she managed to get outside into the March sunny air where she
dropped the two girls' shopping bags and threw her hands on her hips looking at Minako
with such displeasure.
"Minako," Rei roared. "You're never going to get a pure boyfriend if you're not pure!"
The blond remained frozen only the right corner of her lips twitching in response while
her eyes remained bugged.
Rei released a puff of air. Minako wasn't listening too much. "Let's go." Rei gathered
their bags and headed toward her car parked in the lot dragging Minako along.
Neither girl noticed the food court janitor standing at the glass door his eyes pumping
hearts and his lips drooping over for more delight…
-Well that's the prologue. At least you kind of know where the story is heading. It's
about Minako and love well a certain love. Time to get juicy! Anyway, good-bye!
