Mina was in her room in the Crystal Palace with nothing to work on. She was bored. Sighing, she contemplated her choices. No, she can't go to any of her fellow Senshis. This was the time of the day when the Senshis did their own personal hobbies. Surely, Rei was meditating and Mina didn't fancy being fried alive for disturbing her. Mako was probably tinkering in the kitchen. Ami, knowing her, she would probably be swimming or in the library, reading. Serenity was definitely sleeping or was preoccupied with small Chibi-usa. Mina loved her niece but she could be very loud if she wanted. Even thinking about it, Mina felt a migraine coming up.

Suddenly, Mina brightened up. She might as well do her own hobby. Grabbing her purse and coat, she ran outside to the welcoming sun. Truly without her friends, it might be slightly boring but she had to make do with what she had. Smiling to herself, Mina practically bounced into her car and sped off towards the nearest shopping district.

It seemed that everybody was sharing her hobby. The parking lot was full and she had to park her car a distance away from the shopping mall. Frowning slightly, Mina walked towards her favourite store.

After what had seemed only a few minutes for her (it was actually 4 hours), she scowled inwardly as she felt her body's protest. She was juggling with 5 shopping bags and her own handbag. Giving up, Mina dragged her tired body towards the nearest café.

Kunzite, no, Kevin's day had gone downhill. He had just been resurrected by Setsuna under the Queen's order. His and his fellow Shittenous' souls had been trapped within a stone which was found by the King's Golden Crystal.

They were cloned by Beryl after being tortured and trapped to trick the Senshis. However, even knowing this fact, it still didn't alleviate the guilt that he felt especially remembering the betrayed and hurt in his love's eyes as the Queen showed them what had happened on the day of Moon Kingdom's downfall.

Kevin shook his head trying to stop himself from the image of his love's death at his hand. 'No, no that wasn't me', he thought, trying to convince himself. Setsuna hadn't completely forgiven them and found it extremely amusing to practically dump them outside the Palace's gate to find out about the city on their own.

Suddenly, he caught sight of a long haired blonde woman, with a very familiar red ribbon. His breath caught. The usually poker-faced, serious and stoic general stood stunned. Cursing his bad luck (or good, depends), he began to feel self-conscious.

'Shit, this is too soon! What if she refused to listen to my explanation? What if she decided not to forgive me? What if she didn't love me anymore?'

Kevin was panicking. He had 2 choices, running away as fast as he could or faced his soul mate. Gulping and deciding that she would hesitate to cause a scene, he strode towards the café that the young woman had dragged herself into, albeit very slowly and hesitatingly.
