Once Upon A Time (50)

41 magic dress

Rei's in the sewing room again, and Usagi won't cut her a break!!

"Wow, you did a really good job, Rei-chan."

"Thanks, Mako-chan!" Rei replied, as she held up her dress to herself for approval in the mirror.

The dress really was remarkable. It was a fiery red (of course) halter dress, with gold accents trailing along the hem. A solid gold brooch sat in the middle of the waist, accentuating the low cut v-neckline.

"Your tailoring skills have really improved," Ami remarked, referring to the dress that Rei had made a while back for her school's talent show.

"What's this one for?" Minako asked.

"Oh, just for special occasions, maybe an occasional night on the town," Rei said as she hung the dress in her closet.

"Oh, I get it!" Minako said, with a wink. "It's your equivalent to a little black dress!"

Minako whooped as she received a slight blush from Rei.

"Ha! Tryna find Mr. Right, huh, Rei-chan?" Makoto laughed, nudging Rei with her elbow.

"Yeah, Mako-chan," Minako agreed. "Rei-chan'll be sure to get all the guys!"

Usagi, who had been sitting to the side reading manga gazed at Rei speculatively.

"Hmmmm... must be some magic dress."

The other girls hid their smiles behind their hands as Usagi dodged a flying spool of thread.

Red faced, Rei stormed up to Usagi and yelled, "WHO ASKED YOU ANYWAY?!"
