The Letter
~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi Tsukino frowned as she read the letter she had received at breakfast.
"What's up Usagi-chan?" A bright perky voice called out brightly.
"Minako-chan!" Usagi looked up smiling. "I'm over here!"
Usagi smiled as she watched her friends join her table in Quick Eats, a Muggle restaurant they all favored. She studied each of them in turn with wonder. They were all so different it was incredible how strong the bond of friendship was between them.
Minako Aino blonde and bubby, ditzy to some. She was also a seamswitch of some renown. She owned her own dress shop in Tengu Plaza and was planning to open her next branch in Diagon Alley.
Makoto Kino and Rei Hino were Aurors and very unlike each other. Makoto was very physical in her attack and defense magic. Rei was more spiritual and subtle in her strategies. Understandable since Reis' grandfather was a Shinto priest and raised her to be a priestess before she showed her gift for magic.
Ami Mizuno was the bookworm of the group even as students. She undergone formal training to be qualified as a mediwitch but Ami was more interested in conducting research, theoretical and practical, though she could always be depended on in an emergency.
Hotaru Tomoe was a mediwitch as well. She, like Usagi, had a knack for healing magics despite her youth being the youngest of the group. She was strong enough to qualify for Auror school but her gentle nature made her better suited for mediwizardry. Her ex-guardians were another story.
Two missing members of their group were Haruka Tenou and Michiru Kaiou who were Unspeakables for the Nippon Ministry of Magic and currently stationed in America under Muggle covers as concert musicians.
Setsuna Meiou was an Unspeakable as well but she was a strategist, a True Seer with a gift for remarkably accurate Divination. She was the oldest and most secretive as well.
It was several minutes before the young women settled down after greeting each other, setting down, placing orders, and catching up on each other.
Rei was the first to notice Usagis' preoccupation with her letter.
"What is it Usagi? You seem worried, a little confused in fact."
Usagi hesitated before taking her friends into her confidence.
"I received a letter from the Gringotts branch located in Diagon Alley," she told them. "They tell me I have received an inheritance."
Minako's china blue eyes widened. "Wow! What's the problem then?"
"I need to go to England to claim it."
"So?" Minako didn't see any problems with that.
"I can't just up and leave!" Usagi was horrified. She spent years trying to eradicate her careless teenage habits. "I have responsibilities!"
"Like what?" Ami asked reasonably. "You are an adult, you live on your own, you aren't seeing anyone, you don't have kids, you work as a freelance artist."
Usagi frowned. "My parents would be worried."
"Tell them you want to travel, to explore another country to expand your artistic scope." Minako suggested wildly.
"But--."
"Do you have to pay for the trip to London?" Hotaru asked reasonably.
"No--."
"Are there any painting commissions you need to complete?" Ami asked.
"No, I just finish--."
"Did you confirm the letter is authentic with the Gringotts branch in Tengu Plaza?" Rei queried sharply.
"Yes."
"So why are you still here?" Makoto concluded with a wide smile.
Usagi laughed. "I don't know," she confessed. "It is just that I've never traveled so far by myself."
Setsuna sipped her tea.
"It is not that hard Usagi-chan." The older witch told the blonde witch. "I can help you make the necessary preparations."
Usagi glanced at their determined faces. "You are determined to make me go to England, aren't you?"
They answered in laughing chorus. "Yes!"
"Oh all right! I will." She smiled brilliantly raising her glass of water. "To my trip to London!"
"Here here!" They responded to her toast with their own drinking utensils.
