*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Detention! For what?"

Ami shrugged.

"I don't know Raye, all I know is that they got detention for something."

Raye frowned, it wasn't good for any of them to get detention, the youmas were showing up more often, that and having 2 different enemies working against them, they didn't have to much time for anything, much less school, and much less detention.

"Well, at least they'll be out soon, and nothing has happened...yet." Raye said at last.

Opening her scout communicator she contacted Mina and Darian.

"Mina here, what's up?"

"Darien here."

"Hey guys. Any luck on those crystals?" Raye asked, Ami hovering nearby.

"Nope, nothing here."

"Same...though I did catch this really cute guy!"

Raye sweatdropped at Mina's comment.

"That's...great."

"Yep! He's cute, single, and has a cat named Jun! So cute!"

Raye banged her head against the pillar of the temple, Ami stopping her before she could do any real damage.
"Mina, get your head out of the clouds, we have a mission, remember?" Raye said, restraining the urge to shout instead of speak calmly.

Giggling was heard before the answer came through.

"Sure Raye, I'll concentrate...after I meet this new guy, see you soon!"

A sharp beep signaled the end of the conversation.

Stomping the ground in impatience Raye cast a glance at Ami...whose bemused expression told her more then what she wanted to know.

"Don't say it! Don't even think it!" Raye said sharply, fighting off the smile that threaten to come onto her stern face.

"All work and no play makes Raye a cranky girl." Ami sang softly.

Raye glared at Ami, knowing full well that Ami was right. She had been working hard lately, with all the attacks and the temple and school and all...she didn't have time to rest.

'But imagine what it must be like for Ami, she still has 100% marks.' A small voice whispered in Raye's mind.

'Maybe it's because she knows when to work, and when to rest...'

Raye shook her head mentally ridding herself of that tiresome voice.

"How about you and I go to the arcade? It would be good for us." Ami said smiling.

Raye caved in.

"All right. Let's go."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Mina stared dreamily at the guy standing in front of her...dark hair, very nice bod, and she happened to glance into his dreamy dark green eyes when she 'accidentally' tripped onto him.

'Very cute...'

"Oh Brad!"

'Very unavailable.'

Mina mentally glared at the petite redhead who was currently kissing the guy she happened to be daydreaming about.

Sighing, Mina got up from the picnic table she was resting on and continued hr walk through the park. Searching for that pull she felt whenever she came near a rainbow crystal.

A sudden drowsiness came on her. Mina fought a yawn as she located another empty picnic table.

'A small rest won't hurt any.' She thought as she sat down and leaned her head against the table, her eyes closing as the sleep overwhelmed her.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Darien felt off another yawn as he wandered through the park, wondering where Mina would be.

'We said we'd meet here half an hour ago. Where could she be, I know she's late, but never this late.'

Darien scanned the park, a bright head of yellow catching his eyes.

Walking forward he fought off another yawn as he passed several people dowsing in the hot sun.

'Something isn't right here.' The thought nagged him as he walked towards Mina.

"Mina, hey Mina wake up." Darien said shaking Mina's shoulder slightly.

Worry began to seep in as Mina didn't wake up.

Hurriedly Darien checked her pulse.

Instant relief as he felt a strong steady beat. Quickly flipping open his scout communicator, Darien paged the girls before feeling s bit of humor in the situation.

"I should've known, whenever anything goes wrong, it always happens in the park."

His eyelids began to close against his will as Darien felt himself sink to the ground.

'I have to stay awake!' Darien gritted his teeth as he fought to stay awake, resorting to inflicting pain.

Complete exhaustion overcame him as he slumped completely to the ground, his mind escaping to the painless mindless world of slumber.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Raye something is wrong."

Raye paused the video game and looked over to Ami.

"What is it?" She asked, all business. Ami never kidded around about these things.

"Darien is paging me, but he isn't answering, I'm trying to contact Mina, but she isn't answering either."

"Alright, I'll get Lita, you locate Mina and Darien. We'll meet you here." Raye ordered grabbing her purse as she ran out of the arcade.

Ami bit her lip and searched the city for Mina and Darien's life signs.

"Hey Ami, anything wrong? Why did Raye run off like that?" Andrew asked.

Ami smiled swiftly tucking her computer in her purse.

"Oh nothing. Raye just remembered she had something to do at the temple, and I have to go now Andrew, I'm late for a computer class, bye!" Ami said cheerfully leaving the aracade in a slight rush.

Andrew hummed to himself as he simply continued his work.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Lita! Sorry Miss, but Lita has to go now, I'll get a note from her parents!" Raye said as she burst into the classroom, grabbed Lita and ran right out dragging the other girl behind her.

"Well! Of all things! I better get a good note for that one." The perky teacher frowned as she continued reading her magna under the desk while checking on the students.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"What was that all about Raye! Do you want me to get into trouble or something? And you can let go now, I can run on my on you know." Lita snapped as Raye let go of Lita's arm.

"Mina and Darien are in trouble. We're meeting Ami at the arcade to find where they are." Raye said, concentrating on her breathing as she and Lita passed other people in a blur.

"Wait up!"

Raye and Lita turned their heads in unison as they heard Ami calling to them.

A blue blur passed and soon the three were united, racing towards their friends.
