Rei approached the arcade, mentally debating whether she
should have come or not. She walked slowly, enjoying the
cool, crisp evening. It was dusk and light poured from the
arcade ahead. Standing in the glare was a petite girl,
peering through window. As Rei drew closer, she recognized
the profile of Ami. Before she could call out to her, the
blue-haired girl jerked from the window and began to walk
away.
"Ami." Rei ran the few meters to her friend and grabbed
her arm.
Ami startled eyes met Rei's before a rosy hue graced her
cheeks. "I was just on my way home to study." Ami offered
lamely.
Rei rolled her eyes. "You are here for the same reason I
am. You are dying to know what is happening with Usagi and
Mamoru, and since Motoki got first dibs with the
communicator….Voila! Here you are!" Rei, still holding
Ami's arm, then proceeded to drag her through the arcade
entrance. Neither girl was aware of the small black
presence hiding in the shadows.
Rei and Ami's entrance went unnoticed however by the
patrons of the arcade. The bells that rang, signaling the
arrival of a new customer, went unheard due to the
entertaining sight at the soda fountain. Both girls
stopped and stared at the show before them.
"Apparently Makoto and Minako had the same idea." Rei
commented wryly as she again propelled a resistant Ami
forward.
'Poor Motoki.'
Two very beautiful and very persistent young women had
backed Furhata Motoki into a corner of the arcade. Minako
leaned very close to him, and ran a seductive hand down
Motoki's cheek. She batted her eyelashes at him.
"Please Motoki. You know you want to. Just for a minute.
It won't harm anything and this way we can make sure
everything is going according to plan."
She kept making shooing motions at Makoto, who was standing
there threateningly, watching the blonde arcade worker.
"Let me handle this" she hissed under breath to her friend
before returning her attentions to the man before her. She
tilted her head slightly and widened her blue eyes to look
beseechingly at him.
Motoki had the look of a man facing his death. He scanned
the arcade looking for salvation. He spotted Rei and Ami
standing a little ways behind Makoto and he lunged to the
side to escape the seductress.
"Ami! Rei! Help m.." Motoki's words were cut off as
Makoto quickly intercepted his evasive techniques and
grabbed him by the collar.
"Hand over the communicator Motoki. We asked nicely. We
could look for it ourselves." Makoto shot Minako a wicked
look. "I'm sure you are carrying it with you."
Motoki's hand dived into his pocket and fished out the
communicator. He tossed it to Ami who instinctively caught
it. Makoto had let go of Motoki and dove for the
communicator, but Ami had got it first. Rei stepped
forward to intercept both Makoto and Minako from pouncing
on Ami. Both girls hesitated when they saw the imposing
expression on the fiery priestess' face.
With hands on her hips, she scolded the girls. "I thought
we had an agreement. We would not make any contact with
them, that it was only for them to contact us. And we all
had to be here together if we felt the need to check up on
them."
Minako, looking unabashed, approached Ami. "Well, Rei.
We're all here. And I doubt you and Ami stopped by to play
a video game." She smiled in satisfaction as Rei's cheeks
turned a dull red as she glared at the exuberant blonde.
She turned and addressed Motoki. "See. We all want to
make sure everything is ok. Let's go in the back room and
page them."
Motoki looked ready to argue, but then shrugged his
shoulders and led the way to the back. Once all the girls
had filed in, he closed the door. But not before a small
black cat slipped in. Motoki felt her brush against his
leg and he stooped down to pick up the cat.
"Hey. It's Luna, Usagi's cat." He stroked her fur as he
spoke to her. "You miss Usagi, don't you?" As he
continued to pet Luna, the girls exchanged guilty looks.
When Motoki finished petting Luna and murmuring comments to
her, he set her down and faced Ami.
"Okay, you've got the communicator. Go ahead and page
them. Just make sure to set in on the table so we can all
hear."
Ami walked over to the table and set it in the center.
Luna hopped up onto the table while everyone else drew in
closer. She pressed the call button, and everyone held
their breath, anxious for whatever would be broadcast.
After a minute of silence, Motoki looked at Ami and asked,
"Are you sure they were able to receive the signal?"
Ami, slightly pale, nodded. "We checked them several times
to make sure they would work. For some reason they are not
answering."
As that comment, Minako and Makoto high-fived one another
and began to celebrate. "You go girl! Woo hoo!"
Rei and Motoki exchanged skeptical glances. "I find it
hard to believe that it would be that easy."
Ami's hand itched to get out her Mercury computer. "We're
not sure that something hasn't happened to them."
Minako sidled up to Ami. "You bet something has happened!
All our hard work has finally paid off."
Motoki reached over and grabbed the communicator off the
table. "Well, I for one will believe it when I see it."
And with that, he opened the door and returned to his
duties in the arcade. As the door clicked shut behind him,
a hissing noise was heard.
Luna stood on the table, tail straight, and glared
accusingly at the girls.
