Disclamier: I do not own Sailormoon and song. :D
A/N: So… my first fic after a few months… :D I hope all of you would like it. I only found inspiration last week, with the song, "The Universe and U" by KT Tunstall after I watched episode 18 of Grey's Anatomy. Anyway, I had a minor accident last month which left my right arm and shoulder in a sling and I couldn't type properly not to mention a lack of inspiration. Oooh! You guys should look up Callie and Arizona of Grey's Anatomy if you're not familiar with the show, I swear they are like Rei and Minako. Especially Arizona, same blonde hair, blue eyes and perkiness! Ahaha… Sorry for the rambling… :D
Before I forget, in this fic, Minako is a famous song writer and not an idol while Rei was still trained as a miko but is now a photojournalist. The other characters retain their supposed occupations. :D And their like in their mid-20's. :D
"Hey Rei…" said Haruka as she waved her hand in front of Rei's face as Makoto smirked. "Hello? Earth to Rei!" the racer continued to wave her hand. "What on Earth would be so interesting at that…" Haruka stopped as she looked over the table near the wall. "Uh… Ruka?" Makoto turned and nudged Haruka as the racer was grinning while looking intently at where the miko was looking. The racer took Makoto's face with both hands and turned the brunette's face towards the direction where a blonde girl with blue eyes sat at the table and flirted with their friend. Makoto and Haruka looked at each other and grinned. They looked at Rei again and they laughed.
"What?" asked a confused Rei.
"You and that girl back there were eye-sexing!" Haruka laughed. Rei blushed.
"You like blondes!" Makoto teased.
"Yep. Long blonde hair, blue eyed, smaller than you, likes to sing and perky… really perky," Haruka grinned.
"I do not!" reacted Rei as she glared at the two.
"How about Zona?" Haruka arched her eyebrow.
"Zona?"
"You're last fling, Zona, the exchange student living next door. Blonde, blue eyed, really cute dimples and super hot girl who just left a week ago and had an ex-girlfriend back home who almost looks like you," Makoto said and she was almost drooling.
"Wipe your drool, Mako," Rei tried to hide her smile as she saw her friend fantasize about her latest fling. "So what if she is blonde and… she does sing. Shit."
"How about Aki?" asked Haruka and then she sipped at her milkshake.
"She is not a blonde, she's a brunette," Rei looked smug.
"But she did have blue eyes and annoyingly perky for a brunette," Makoto leaned and rested her chin on the palm of her right hand.
"How about Chizuko?"
"Blonde but her eyes were green."
"How about Iwa?"
"I'll give you that but she was not perky."
"Ooooh Kaoru?"
"Fine. Her too but she was a little bit taller than me."
"Keiko?"
"Wait, remind me again why are we having this conversation?" glared Rei as Makoto and Haruka grinned like hell across her.
"We're just seeing a pattern," Makoto looked smug.
"What pattern?" Rei looked confused.
"Usagi?"
"What about her?"
"She's blonde, blue eyed, smaller than you and perky," Haruka smirked.
Rei became wide eyed and looked like she was about to burst into laughter.
"What so funny?" Makoto asked.
"You think I like Usagi? Oh man… This is priceless…" Rei laughed really hard afterwards and wiped a tear after and continued, "She's like a sister to me and besides she doesn't sing and she's not perky. She's just annoying." Rei laughed again.
Makoto and Haruka looked at each other and smirked.
"So who else do we know that is blonde, blue eyed, smaller than you and annoyingly perky?" Makoto arched one eyebrow and smiled.
Rei's eyes became wide and she blushed. She tried to hide the blush by sipping her tea while she lowered her head a little bit.
The bell attached to the door of the restaurant rang, indicating someone has entered the premises.
"MINAKO!" Haruka shouted.
Rei spew out her warm tea and all of it accidentally hit Makoto straight in the face. Haruka was surprised but started laughing as Makoto glared at Rei while she wiped her face off of the warm tea with tissues. Rei's face was really red out of embarrassment and kept saying sorry to Makoto as she handed out more tissues to the brunette while wiping her chin.
"Mako, what happened?" Minako asked as she reached the table
"Rei spew out her tea at Mako!" Haruka answered as she held her sides as she laughed.
"Why?"
"Because we were talking about… OW!" Haruka was cut off with Rei kicking her shin.
Minako raised her eyebrow and looked at Rei.
"It was nothing," dismissed Rei.
"Scoot over Grumpybear. Ooooh cheesecake! I love cheesecake! May I have some?" Minako looked at Rei and the raven haired girl nodded. "Please turn your perky mode down a notch," Rei pinched the bridge of her nose. Minako just kissed Rei's cheek, giggled and said, "Nah. I think you secretly love it!"
Makoto and Haruka laughed while Rei muttered something incoherent and blushed.
"So why are you here, Mina? I thought you have work today?" Makoto asked as she crumpled the used tissues.
"I finished writing the song yesterday so Miyuki and I are going on a date today," Minako smiled.
Makoto and Haruka simultaneously looked at Rei. The miko sighed and said, "I have to go. There will be protest rally that I have to cover in about an hour and I have to get my things at my apartment before heading out so if you'll excuse me," And with that Rei tried to stand, Minako stood up so that the miko could get out of the booth. Makoto and Haruka looked at Rei sadly. The latter caught and tried to give a smile and said, "I'll text you guys if I would be able to go. Bye."
"She's got it bad," Makoto whispered at the side of her mouth towards Haruka as the racer nodded sadly.
"Got what bad?" Minako asked as she sat back and continued eating the cheesecake. Then suddenly her phone buzzed. "Miyuki's here!" Minako giggled as she read the text.
"I never met her in person before," Makoto said to Minako.
"Really? Well she kind of looks like Rei a bit but her eyes is grey and her hair is shorter," Minako said then ate the last piece of cheesecake.
"Yep. Sort of acts like Rei too," Haruka nudged Makoto.
"Oh… OH!" Makoto replied to a grinning Haruka.
A second after, Miyuki enters the door and scanned the room for Minako. Haruka saw her and waved. Miyuki went to the booth and sat down beside her girlfriend.
"I saw Rei leave before I got to the door. Is she okay? She looks like she's sad and angry at the same time," Miyuki asked after she kissed Minako on her cheek. Minako suddenly found something interesting on her spoon and she looked at it sadly. "Babe, are you ok?" asked Miyuki. Minako faked a smile and nodded. "How rude of me, I'm Miyuki, Minako's girlfriend. Your Makoto, right? I recognize you from the pictures that Minako had shown me," Miyuki extended her hand to Makoto smiled and the latter shook her hand in return.
"She's probably just grumpy… again," Makoto said.
"I think she hates me or something," Miyuki sighed.
Minako became wide eyed at her girlfriend's confession. "Why would you say that?" asked Minako.
"Because she doesn't seem to try to even talk to me or get to know me. She is your best friend isn't she? She should grill me about how to take care of you or threaten me or something. Isn't that a best friend's job?" answered Miyuki.
"Don't worry. She's just like that. When we first met, it was like months before she even talked to me. Like a real conversation," Haruka assured Miyuki.
"Really?"
"Yep."
"See… you don't have to worry," Minako hugged Miyuki and the latter smiled.
Miyuki looked at her watch and said, "Mina, we better go. We might be late for the movie."
"Okay. See you guys later?" asked Minako as she stood.
Haruka and Makoto nodded and saw the couple walk away.
Haruka sighed and continued, "I always knew she liked Minako but not that deep."
"Me too. I thought it was only a crush that didn't go away. You think Minako knows?" Makoto looked at Haruka.
"I don't think she does. But those two are subconsciously dating people who look, think or act like the other," Haruka sighed.
"Definitely. Come to think of it, I notice that Rei is avoiding Minako a bit especially when she is with Miyuki. Well that what Ami said. Rei always bails whenever Miyuki is with Minako. And I only noticed it now but she really looks like Rei," Makoto said.
"I noticed that too," Haruka answered.
"What's Miyuki's occupation? Minako doesn't talk to me about her much. Which is weird because she's usually talkative about that kind of stuff," Makoto said and then took a sip of her soda.
"She's a trainer at a gym near Minako's place. You know, I tried talking to Rei once about the whole Minako thing but she shrugged it off and everytime Rei gets stressed when I talk try to make her talk about it, Minako suddenly calls or shows up out of the blue. It's like she can feel Rei's distress or something," Haruka answered and sighed.
"What are we going to do with those two," sighed Makoto.
