To Lina Hino Thanks for the kind works, they mean so much to me.

So Ami, Rei teased, I didn't know you waltzed so well. Ami blushed, and Rei continued, I think you are Quatre are a good match.

Ami said loudly- she tried to look somewhat angry, but acting wasn't one of her strong points. It's not like that between Quatre and I. We've only known each other one day. We're just... Ami sighed,

Mina giggled, Duo was great! Too bad there are only two of them, and not enough to go around.

Ami put in, Quatre mentioned that he had three other friends that were also pilots.

"They're pilots? Usagi asked in surprise. When Ami nodded, Usagi sighed, Wow, what chunk of hunky men. Maybe one day they'll take me to see a romantic sunset from the sky...." She sighed dreamily.

I don't think they'd do that, Rei disagreed, Duo told me that his other three friends were real bores. Makoto nodded.

Maybe they're the strong, silent, mysterious type? Minako said, her eyes wide with hope.

Makoto laughed. I hate to burst your bubble, Minako, but I asked Duo the same question. He said, No, they are more the silent, stupid type. But don't tell them I said that.' He cracks me up. His hair is the same color as-

Don't say it," Usagi warned. Makoto grinned sheepishly. Usagi added, "You think we'll ever see them again?

Instead of answering, Ami asked, Why don't we go to the arcade tomorrow?

Oooh- Oooh- yeah! Usa replied eagerly, as she got up to turn of the lights. Hey, why do you wanna go to the arcade? Usagi flipped off the switch and groped her way back to her sleeping bag on the floor. There was alot of s and Get off me Usagi!s. So like I asked, Usagi continued when she layed down again, Why do you wanna go to the arcade, Ami?

"Have you ever thought that I might enjoy going to the arcade?" Ami replied.

Rei laughed, "No! Not ever! But really, what's up?"

Minako gasped, "You told Quatre you'd be there, didn't you?"

Ami stammered, "Mmm...I might have casually added it into our conversation."

"So we're going to the arcade tomorrow then?" Rei asked. The girls nodded. She added, "Good. Usagi and I still have that old pinball score to settle!

Location: Arcade, 12:07PM
--------------------------------------

When they arrived at the arcade, the girls hit the video games. Rei and Usagi sped to the pinball machines. They played best out of three and somehow managed to end up in another tie. Ami sat at a nearby table, reading a book and sipping on iced tea. Minako and Makoto had challenged each other to a racing game, and so far Minako was winning.

Makoto sighed, this is the fourth time you've won! I think you're cheating.

I would never! Mina protested, crossing her arms as she sat up from the car seat. She walked over to Ami's table, and asked, Right, Ami? Tell Makoto that I would never cheat?

Ami laughed, The pedal on Makoto's side has always gotten stuck before you can hit 110 and you know it. Ami continued to read, and Minako's jaw dropped. She smiled sheepishly to Makoto. She opened her mouth to apologize but-

Makoto shouted, Mina-kun, you twirp! You owe me four dollars in tokens!

Usagi shouted from the pinball area. 'Nuther tie with Rei. If I get into another tie with you, Rei, I'm going to set this machine on fire!

Oh, no you don't! Rei slammed on the side buttons furiously. We aren't stopping until I beat you!

Usagi stopped and turned to Rei, What makes you think you're gonna beat me?

Rei stopped playing also, and she put her fists up, saying I can beat you at anything.

Usagi protested, advancing towards Rei.

Can to!

Can not!

Look, I win! Rei said triumphantly, pointing to Usa's score and her own. When Usa stopped playing, her ball had fallenl. Rei's score was higher by a mere three points. Usagi fell over, o_o, and Rei walked over toward the girls with a complacent smile on her face. She let out a small, smug giggle.

As Usagi joined them, Minako squealed, They're here! The girls turned to look but Minako hissed, Don't just look! Be discreet.

And who are you? Rei asked sarcastically, Miss Dating Expert? Small anger flared in Minako's eyes, but it quickly difused when Ami spoke.

Hi, Quatre, she greeted. Ami stood from her chair and offered Quatre her hand. Instead of shaking it like Ami had expected, Quatre layed a soft kiss on her pale white knuckle. A small blush crept up Ami's neck, and the four other girls were turning lime green with envy. Makoto sighed aloud, and Ami was looking very uncomfortable. Quatre smiled warmly in an attempt to break the ice.

I'm sorry, Ami, I'm usually not so-

Duo Maxwell interrupted. He was walking ot their. Rei, Usagi, Makoto and Minako offered their hands at once, in hopes of recieving a kiss. Deciding it was hopeless, everyone put their hand down but Rei. To her ultimate dismay, Duo gave it a gentle shake and smiled at her.

So, did.you.bring.friends? Mina questioned, her voice filled with hope.

Duo answered dully, they're over there, but they're being...themselves. He pointed to a table, and then turned back to the girls.

Minako, Makoto and Usagi looked over. Usagi couldn't see well, so she pushed Minako's head, causing the both of them to fall over. On the way down, Usagi grabbed Makoto's arm for balance, and it all ended up with three girls tangled on the floor.

Ami blushed profusely, and quickly asked Quatre, Care for a race? Quatre nodded, and she dragged him away from the pile of her embarassing friends as speedily as she could.

Once everyone was up and straightened out, Rei could no longer hold in her laughter. Soon, Duo began to laugh also. Rei giggled, Usagi, you klutz!" Before long, the whole group was laughing quite loudly. When the giggling had died down, Minako, Makoto and Usagi decided to be polite and leave Rei and Duo alone at the table. They walked some ways away from the table before plotting their attempt at the three guys.

Ooh! The cute one is looking at me! Minako squealed happily.

They're all cute, which one? Makoto asked.

The one with the dark blue eyes."

No, he's looking at me, Usagi argued, but she recieved a thwap on the head from Minako. Should we go over there? Try to strike up a conversation?

Minako answered, No, we have to be discreet. Let's go play the dart game next to them and get their attention with our striking good personalities and intelligent looks! Makoto and Usagi shook their heads in disgrace. Minako added sheepishly, I mean, striking good looks and intelligent personalities. Come on girls!

You weren't so discreet, giving your hand to Duo back there, Usagi pointed out.

Mina agreed, And did I get a hand shake? No. Usagi and Makoto accepted the answer, deciding it made sense, and then they went to go play a game of darts.

---Fifteen Minutes Later---

That's it! Mina said, I'ts hopeless. They haven't even looked our way- I'm gonna go play Area 51, Minako declared.

It was true. They had played boring games of darts, and yet the three pilots did not look their way once. They were all somewhat discouraged, and they decided to split up.

You're right, this is such a lame game. I'm going next door. They have a pet shop and I saw the cutest puppy, Makoto said. She waved goodbye to Minako and Usagi, and she headed next door to Puffi's Pet Place.

Be discreet! No handshake, wha wha wha, Usa mumbled. Minako had left her to go play Area 51, so Usagi decided to play what she was best at- Tokyo Racing. She sat down in the seat and put in a few tokens.

Before she even got started on the first race, Duo plopped into the seat next to Usagi and challenged her. Rei dumped me to play air hockey with Ami, was his only explanation. The countdown began, and they put the pedal to the metal.
