Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon! I want ever so badly to write a Minkao Kunzite story. I disappeared to finish college last time and now that I've graduated, this summer is the summer to get the story going!

Enjoy chapter 1!

"Try on the red dress!"

"No the sparkly one with taffeta! It will bring out her eyes."

"Oh this one is lovely. It is the same color as my prom dress. It was the night I received my first kiss."

"Okay, not THAT one then. Makoto just made it awkward." Rei rolls her eyes as she grabs the pale green dress from the tall woman.

"I think she should just get the one with print. It doesn't scream and it is simple enough."

Everyone looks at Ami except for Usagi who sits off to the side with her friend, Minako. The one who is deciding on a dress. Minako had been dress shopping for two weeks. The lifestyle she lives requires her to wear elegant gowns and this particular event calls for exquisite. She called her friends and they made plans to help her out, knowing how important this is for her.

"I still think the turquoise is beautiful," She glances over her shoulder dazzled by the dress. When she first entered, Usagi and her both squealed when they saw it. It was love. The dress is perfect. Just enough skin shown and more than enough covered up. The straps are lace and zips in the back which is hidden by a bow that ties around the waist.

"I have exquisite taste." Usagi grins feeling proud of herself for choosing the winning gown.

"You so totally do not! Minako picked it out, you just screamed like a child." Rei admonishes her and sticks her tongue out.

"Bitch!"

"And here we go, back to high school antics, eh?"

"GUYS, STOP IT!" Makoto shouts pulling Usagi away from Rei. "Today is not bicker and fight day. Minako, it is a lovely dress. Are you satisfied with it?"

"Yeah. I will be the belle of the ball tomorrow night!"

Minako was hired straight out of high school to be a top contender for a modeling competition. Of course everyone loved her and admired her ability to adapt in photoshoots. On the runway she brought a certain flair that hardly anyone could compete with. She wasn't catty with the other girls, she stayed true and earned the business's respect.

Usagi married her high school sweetheart, Mamoru Chiba. He's one of the world's most successful Cardiothoracic surgeons. Usagi doesn't have to work but she chooses to work part time in a daycare center with kids. The kids love her bubbly personality and super long blonde hair.

Rei decided to continue to school and become a psychiatrist against her Grandpa's wishes. He wanted her to take over the temple but he has grown since to like her profession. She hired more maidens to work during business hours for him. The fiery priestess likes her privacy and refused to date anyone since her first year of college.

Makoto went into the Culinary Arts, after opening her own bakery in the rural area she hails from, she decided to move to the city and open a restaurant nestled in the very heart of the city. She does quite fine and lives with her current boyfriend, Nephrite. They're good friends with their neighbor and high school pal, Motoki.

Ami Mizuno also finished college and went on to study biochemistry and medicine. She opened her own clinic and has done very well. Her boyfriend Zoicite who is a Physician also works at the clinic.

"Men won't be able to resist me!"

"Oh god, Minako, not that again."

Minako shimmies her shoulders seductively and giggles at Rei. "I haven't been on a real date since...high school?"

"You've been busy. We all have except for Usagi. Lucky bitch."

"I have loved Mamoru forever and I plan to be with him even in death," the bubbly blonde swoons beginning to show them selfies she took with Mamoru on their latest vacation, "Not to mention the bedroom never gets old."

"Oh Usagi, we know you aren't that adventurous. Don't lie. Back to me. Dating. Is it bad I'm hoping not every man there is married?" Minako asks looking to her friends for assurance. Of course Rei, Makoto, and Ami nod telling her she isn't crazy for wanting that.

"I heard Mamoru talking about the gala tomorrow night. He said one of his friends is going to be there."

"Oh? Is he single?"

"More than likely, he's a bit of an ass but not bad on the eyes."

"That settles it then, Usagi, you are coming with me! You too, Rei."

"Ugh, why me? Why not Ami or Makoto?"

"Ami runs that clinic and Makoto wants babies! They don't sprout from a cabbage patch my friend." Stars fill Minako's eyes as she drags Rei and Usagi around to find more dresses for them. Ami and Makoto sit on their chairs staring at each other. Minako never ceases to amaze them.

"Why am I going to this damn gala, Mamoru?" Kunzite grumbles downing another shot of vodka. Mamoru sets his shot glass down as well, gagging a bit. Kunzite kicks his shoes off and ties his long silvery hair back furrowing his brow. He did not mean to get so drunk or to give that girl his number. *Sigh*

"You haven't put on any shows in a long time. You host he best runway shows in the fashion industry and this gala is the best place to find models."

"Hmph."

The men sat in a dimly lit living area with the curtains open, revealing the lights of the city outside. The sun had been down for several hours now.

"Don't be sour. You know Usagi's friend Minako is a model. One of the most coveted too." Mamoru explains as he walks toward the liquor cabinet. He joined Kunzite for a guy's night out. Kunzite recently dumped his controlling, menacing girlfriend and has been out of the fashion business for a year now. He's been preparing a new line and a new show as well as a magazine shoot. After getting quite drunk, Mamoru drove them back to Kunzite's flat in town.

"Why are you storming my liquor cabinet?"

"Well you got to have all the fun tonight at the bar with that ebony haired chick. I want my turn with liquor."

"Don't grab that bottle! It's import!"

Mamoru turns and looks at him dumbfounded.

"EXPENSIVE SHIT!" Kunzite shouts flailing his arms in the air. "Damn, are you drunk on two shots?"

*Hiccup* "Maybe, is that really bad?" Mamoru sets the bottle back on the shelf and pulls another waiting for Kunzite's approval. When he nods, Mamoru grins like a five year old in a candy store and drags himself back to the leather couch they were sitting on.

"Back to this Minako. She's a model?"

"Yeah, single too." Mamoru pulls the top off and reaches around for his glass, proceeding to knock Kunzite's glass off the coffee table, irking the older man. "You need a girlfriend that is stable and doesn't want five or ten boyfriends. One that eventually wants to settle down."

"Since when do I want to settle down, Mamoru?" Kunzite looks around for a dust pan to clean up the mess his friend made. Kunzite never thought himself the person to settle down with a woman. He'd been dating Setsuna for so long it just felt natural to have her move in. Of course he expected her to be faithful and honest. Instead she was conniving, a cheater, and dishonest. He didn't ask her to leave, he left with his belongings and never looked back. She tried contacting him to get him back then to make him jealous when he told her to "shut up."

"Setsuna was a bad example of stability. Okay. You need an honest woman."

"Mamoru, I'm going to bed. I don't want to hear you singing any pointer sisters or Jason Derulo at 2 am like you did back in college." Kunzite left the mess, not caring to wait until he could think straight again. Mamoru slipped his shoes off and turned the tv on and made himself at home.
