It was another summer evening in Juuban. There was a slight breeze that ruffled the blossoms of the Sakura trees and cooled down those that spent the day in the hot sun. As the sky turns a multitude of reds and purples, two couples sit in a booth of the local arcade. To passersby, it looks like young people enjoying each other's company, but in this case looks are deceiving...

Crown Game Center



Tapping her glass on the tabletop, Minako said, "I call to order another meeting of the Affection Connection. We have come together to bring others together. There are a couple of things that we need to discuss, so now I will turn it over to Usagi.

"Arigato Mina-chan. Now, we all know why we are here. So let's get down to business. We have a difficult assignment ahead of us. What I want to know is, are you willing to accept it? We have to be extra careful this time for the simple fact that our targets may be slightly suspicious of what we are doing." Usagi said as she looked at the two young men at the table.

"Are you sure this is a good idea, Usako?" Mamoru asked his girlfriend, worried that she was in over her head.

"Of course it is!!!!! Look at how it turned out for us Mamo-chan..."

"I know, demo....."

"Look how it worked out for Mina-P and Motoki-kun? If they never tried to set us up, then they wouldn't have spent so much time getting to know one another, ne?"

"Hai, demo remember how mad we were at them when we realized what they did? I don't want to have to face the wrath of Rei-san when she finds out..." he reminded her.

"Oh stop worrying so much...they'll thank us for this, just like we did eventually. Plus we have the self proclaimed Love Goddess helping us" Usagi said, as she glanced at Minako, who smiled brightly upon hearing her title.


"Are you sure that you're just doing this for them, or is there another reason?" Mamoru asked skeptically.


"Like what?" Usagi asked innocently, batting her eyes.


"Oh, let's say something called revenge...."


"Mamo-chan, don't be ridiculous. Besides if everyone is happy in the end, it's not really revenge is it?"


"I don't know Usa....."



"Trust me" she said reassuringly.


Seeing that Mamoru needed more convincing, Minako stepped in to make a point for her friend's cause. "Yeah Mamoru-kun...I can't wait for this. Everyone should be as happy I am. It's only fair to return the favor." Minako said, as she looked at Motoki, her boyfriend, smiling at her.

"I agree, but you are forgetting one thing..." Motoki said.


"Nani?" both girls asked at the same time.

"What if they don't want to be set up with anyone? I'm sure that between Mamoru and I, we can come up with several guys that are willing to hook up with your friends, demo it doesn't work if they don't want it as well."

"Ah Toki-chan, I have a lot to teach you about girls." Minako said giving her boyfriend a peck on the kiss.

Laughing at the blush creeping up his friend's face, Mamoru decided to change the subject. "Well, since both of you seem determined to do this, who should be first?"


"Mako-chan", the girls said simultaneously.


"NANI?!?!?" both young men said, eyes wide.

"What's wrong with that?" Usagi asked, looking into their shocked faces.


"Um...well...ah...you see..." they stuttered.


"C'mon, what's the worse that can happen?" Usagi asked.

"Mako-chan coming at you with at left hook..." muttered Motoki under his breath.

"What was that sweetie?" Minako asked him.


"Um...nothing" he stammered

"Good, well if that is all I declare this meeting adjourned" Minako said, banging her glass against the table.


"It looks like the Affection Connection is back in business." Motoki said, his mouth forming a small smile.


"Yeah...let's just pray that this doesn't blow up in our faces." Mamoru warned.

"Oh will you stop with the doom and gloom stuff?!?! Now come on everyone, we have work to do! By the time we are finished, Mako-chan will forget all about her old boyfriend. I am SO going to ENJOY this..." Usagi said, a mischievious gleam in her eyes.
