Disclamier: I do not own Sailormoon and song. :D

A/N: I forgot to greet everbody (well your mom) a Happy Mother's Day… :D Hope you'd like this chapter too! :D

Ring Ring Ring

Rei groaned, flipped so that she was laying face down on her bed and she put one of her pillows on her head, hoping that the caller would eventually stop calling her. She knew that the ringtone belonged to one her friends and not work.

Ring Ring Ring

"Ugh!" Rei screamed, the pillow muffled the sound of the scream and the miko tried to feel where her cellphone is. After several seconds, she finally got her phone and answered.

"This better be an emergency," groaned Rei as she still lay face down on her pillow.

"Oh sorry, are you busy? You didn't forget lunch, right?" Setsuna said on the other line.

"What time is it?"

"10 minutes past noon."

"Oh. Sorry about that Sets. I didn't forget it just that I was so tired from all the work yesterday that's why I didn't wake up on time. I'm really sorry," Rei said as she suddenly jumped off the bed and hastily getting her towel, hanging at the back of her door. She walked as fast as she could towards the bathroom.

"It's okay, I understand. Anyway, Mako's reserved us a seat anyway and Haruka said she'll be here any minute now. The perks of you co-owning the restaurant, we don't have to wait for anything," Setsuna laughed at the other line.

"Don't remind me, okay? I didn't want to be part owner when I gave the money to Mako, she was the one who insisted I'd be co-owner even if I don't do anything," sighed Rei. She turned the shower on and felt the water if it is warm enough for her.

"It's still a perk and you know it. Anyway, just text me when you're already on the move. I'll just eat some ice cream that Mako made earlier."

"Okay. Bye!" Rei said and put her phone down at the table near the bathroom. She then went inside and hurriedly took the shower.

After almost an hour

The bell hanging on the door signaled that someone has entered the now packed restaurant. Makoto waved a hand at Rei and the miko walked towards the group.

"Good afternoon, Ms Hino. I really like your haircut, it suits you," one of the waitress greeted her as she passed by.

"Oh good afternoon to you too," Rei looked at the waitresses' name plate. "Ummm… Akane and thank you," the miko smiled and then continued to walk towards the group. She didn't notice the waitress swoon after she walked away.

"I win," Makoto chimed.

"Win what?" Rei arched an eyebrow.

"Mako and Ruka here, had a bet whether that waitress there has a crush on you," Setsuna rolled her eyes as she saw Haruka pout as she pulled some money from her wallet and handed it to Makoto.

"You two are impossible," sighed Rei and sat down beside Setsuna. "How's Hotaru by the way?" the miko looked at menu.

"She's still at the dorm and she told me she has a crush on one of her classmates. Chibusa, I think, is the name of the girl and she already asked her out and Chibusa said yes," Haruka answered and smiled.

"I guess she got her charms on you, Ruka," Setsuna smiled. "I'm way too shy to do that," she continued and then she sipped her tea.

"We know Sets. We know," teased Makoto.

"Just talk to her. Zona's really nice and she likes you too," Rei looked at her friend and smiled. The miko looked over to the waitress and gave a signal that she would like to have her order taken now. "I think I'll have the seafood pasta today and some mango juice. Make the pasta a little bit hotter than last time, okay? Thanks!" Rei said and handed the menu to the waitress.

"She likes me, too?" Setsuna blushed.

"Yup. She blushed last night and that's a hard thing to do. Trust me," Rei answered. "Anyway, why did you invite us to lunch today? I thought you had work today," the miko continued.

"I quit my job," Setsuna muttered.

"What?" the other three simultaneously asked.

"I said, I quit my job," Setsuna answered a little more loudly.

"But why?' asked Makoto.

"I hate my boss. He's a prick and besides another company offered me a bigger salary and better benefits so I took it. But the problem is that is quite far from where I am staying so I was hoping for some help on getting a new apartment," smiled Setsuna as she played with her cup of tea.

"Where is the company located and when will you start?" inquired Haruka. The racer then took a bite of her sandwich.

"It's actually near here and Rei's apartment. Maybe you know if there is some opening for some apartments there? And I start next week," answered Setsuna. She sipped her tea.

"You can stay at my apartment while you look for an apartment or be my roommate. I have an extra room and I could use the company," offered Rei. She then nodded to the waitress as the latter gave her order.

"That would be great!" smiled Setsuna. Rei was twirling her fork on her pasta, smiled and gave a thumbs up for Setsuna.

….

After a week, Setsuna was moving some of her things on Rei's apartment with the help of Haruka, Mamoru and Makoto.

Rei raced inside her apartment finding Haruka, Mamoru and Makoto on the couch and eating popcorn.

"What did I miss?" asked Rei as she flopped down on the couch.

"Just look at the two," answered Mamoru.

"Look at what?"

The three simultaneously pointed at Setsuna blushing while she was holding a heavy box, looking like she would drop it anytime, as Zona talked to her.

"This is interesting," Rei chuckled and she put her feet on the table like the others. Haruka gave some popcorn to Rei and they watched the two interact.

Zona wiped some of Setsuna's perspiration from her head with the towel after the older woman put down the heavy box. Both of them blushed, look at each other and seemed to be lost in each other's gaze. The chuckle and snicker from the other four broke the moment. Zona threw the towel at Rei and blushed.

"Oh my God, you two… too much goo goo eyes!" teased Haruka and the other three laughed.

There are still more boxes there Sets," Makoto winked at Setsuna.

"You haven't even helped me in moving, you know!" glared Setsuna.

"But you didn't notice," Mamoru laughed.

"Hey, enough with the teasing, guys. We should help Sets so that we could finish early and get to the Crown for some serious karaoke night!" said Zona and she kissed Setsuna on the cheek which made the older woman blush and lose her grip from the small box she was holding. Fortunately, the box only contained paper works.

"Okay," laughed Rei as she saw the reaction of Setsuna. Makoto, Haruka and Mamoru snickered while Setsuna glared.

…

"And that is how you do it!" exclaimed Haruka as she jumped off the stage, receiving applause throughout the room. Michiru kissed her girlfriend on the cheeks and giggled.

"Ha! I'll beat you, Ruka! I always do! I'm singing!" Rei teased Haruka as she teased the racer.

"Okay, you definitely had too many drinks," Zona whispered to Rei as she tried to stop her. Rei tried to push her away but Zona gripped one her elbows and pulled her closer. Rei tried to pull away but Zona whispered again, "Do you really want to make a fool out of yourself here? Miyuki will be coming in anytime and you want to sing in front of all the people here about how you feel about Minako? Are you sure you can take the consequences of what you will do?"

Rei stared at Zona for a couple seconds and answered. "I don't know what to do anymore, Zona. I just want to have a great time before I go tomorrow. You know how stressful it will get there."

Zona loosened her grip on Rei. "You shouldn't have taken the assignment then. You know how Minako will react if she knew. Actually, can you take all the reactions of your friends?" Zona replied sadly.

"It's not like I had a choice on the matter," Rei irritatedly answered.

"Uh you actually do have a choice. You're like a millionaire with all the trust fund your father and grandfather left you," answered Zona and she took a swig of her beer.

"I love my job and I don't like to talk about the money thing so no, I will never quit my job," answered Rei and walked off towards the bar. Zona just shook her head and made her way towards Setsuna who was sitting by herself at a booth nursing a drink.

Rei was sitting at a stool at the bar drinking beer and Minako approached her.

"Hey," Minako shyly said as she sat down beside Rei.

"Hi," answered Rei and ordered another beer when she noticed that her beer was already empty and ordered one for Minako.

"Thanks. Umm… are you alright?" Minako asked and she put her hand on the miko's shoulders. Rei immediately relaxed and sighed, "Yeah. Don't worry about me."

"You look upset after I saw you talk to Zona," Minako rubbed Rei's arms.

"Hi there sweet cheeks, want to drink with me?" a 6 foot 4, burly man interrupted the conversation of Minako and Rei by going in between them.

"Excuse me?" Minako arched an eyebrow.

Rei pinched the bridge of her nose and tapped the shoulder of the man which the rude man just shrugged. The man gripped Minako's arm and said, "I said drink with me and then I'll take you to my apartment."

Rei couldn't take it anymore and went in front of the man while she protectively held Minako's hand with hers. Instinctively, Minako interwined her hand on Rei's. "Apologize to her for being rude then go away," Rei hissed and the man just laughed.

"Why? Are you going to punch with your girly hands as you protect your puny girlfriend?" mocked the man.

"I'm giving you another chance. Apologize then walk away," Rei said sternly.

"Give me your best shot then."

"Rei, please. Just walk away," Minako pleaded and she tugged Rei's hands. The miko sighed and looked at Minako and said, "He was rude to you. He should apologize." "He's a dick and getting in fight with him is not worth it," the blonde answered. "Are you sure?" asked Rei and the blonde nodded. "Very well then," she continued and she began to turn around tugging Minako towards her friends who just noticed the confrontation.

"You're a coward, dyke!" the man laughed.

Rei stopped walking and gripped Minako's hand tighter and the blonde responded by cupping Rei's cheek with her free hand.

"Walk away with your whore of a girlfriend!" the man laughed again and did a high five with one of his friends.

Rei suddenly let go of Minako's hand and walked towards the man.

"Rei!" Minako screamed.

The miko stood in front of the man and smiled. The man arched an eyebrow but before he could say anything, Rei grabbed his crotch and gripped it with all her might. The man wailed and suddenly slumped half way whimpering. Rei tighetened her grip and said, "I don't care if you call me a dyke or whatever, I'm proud to be a lesbian but when you call my anger a whore. That is a different situation so apologize to her now!" The man looked at Minako and whimpered a sorry towards the blonde. "Say it like you mean it!" shouted Rei. Her voice was almost shaking with rage and she tightened her grip once again. "I said I'm sorry!" cried the man. "Now that's better," Rei let go of the man's crotch, looked at his friends and said, "Take him and never come here again," Rei sternly said to the group. "I said go!" the miko shouted and stomped her foot, she noticed that the man's pants suddenly became wet. "And change his pants!" she shouted which made the group of men move a little bit faster.

Minako now tried to approach Rei but the miko just said, "Not now, Mina," and then she walked away towards the kitchen for the back door.

"Wait a couple of minutes then go after her," Michiru said to Minako as she put her hand on the blonde's shoulder. "She's not mad at you and you know that. She's just mad at the guy. You know that she'll just shout at you if you talk to her now," Ami continued as she hugged Minako. The blonde just nodded and waited a few minutes before she went outside to talk to Rei.

"Hey guys, what happened?" Miyuki asked as she saw the group of friends silently drinking in a booth and she noticed that the karaoke bar was empty besides them.

"Rei got into a fight protecting Minako from a guy who hit on her," Haruka answered.

"What? Is she okay? Where's Mina?"

"They're at the back. Minako's talking to Rei, calming her down," Makoto answered and took a swig of her beer.

Miyuki hastily went to the back door but hesitated to barge in on the two when she heard them talking.

"Rei bear, look at me, please," Minako was almost in tears as she cupped Rei's face but the miko couldn't look at the blonde. "Please," Minako was now crying and hugged Rei.

"I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have but he called you whore…" Rei trailed off as she hugged back.

"Your hands are shaking," Minako took Rei's hands in hers.

"Sorry if I didn't listen… if I made you uncomfortable but he deserved it and you know it," sighed Rei as she took her hands from Minako's.

They looked at each other and gazed at each other's face for several seconds. Rei began to inch her lips to Minako as she looked at the blonde's lips and eyes. Minako inch her way in instinct and they kissed passionately for several minutes. After parting, Rei rested her forehead on Minako's and said, "I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have done that but I couldn't help it."

"She asked me to move in with her," answered Minako. She held Rei tighter and closer to her.

"Then move in with her. She makes you happy and content and…" Rei was cut off when Minako said, "You make me happier."

"Was I just a phase to you, Mina?"

"What?"

"The thing we did when we were in high school. Was it just a phase? Because I don't understand why you would date someone who's basically me. Miyuki's nice and all but honestly…"

"I don't know, Rei. I don't know what I feel anymore. I'm confused. I like Miyuki but with you… I'm happier… contented… but I don't want to hurt her. She's been nice to me and very understanding. She told she loves me but she doesn't force me to say it to her and I haven't told her that I love her and you know I just don't tell the 'love' word…"

"You haven't answered my question, Mina."

"I said I don't know."

"Then move in with her. I… I don't care anymore because I think you just made the decision for me."

The two stood a foot apart, the word they said to each other was weighing a lot to both of them. A minute later, Miyuki finally decided to interrupt.

"Hey guys, I heard. Are you alright, Rei?"

"Yeah and thanks for asking."

Minako hastily walked inside without even a glance at her girlfriend.

"She's just upset of what I did. You know what makes her happy when she's upset? Bring her some strawberry filled doughnuts and some milk and watch some Disney movie. If you have Beauty and Beast, watch that one. It always works," smirked Rei and patted Miyuki at her shoulders before walking in herself. Miyuki sadly smiled and contemplated on what she saw and heard from the conversation of the two earlier.
