Disclaimer: I do not, nor shall I EVER own anything remotely close to Sailor Moon. I can draem though, right? ... right!

Author's Note: Well, I know I haven't updated in...3 months-Gah!-but I went to the beach this past week and I actually sat down and wrote the next 9 chapters, LOL!

I hope you enjoy this. I know it's not the longest I could have done, but I will have another chapter up in less than a week.


Rei began work the very next day, and she worked from dawn until dusk. She had to stand on a stool for hours at a time for the seamstresses to take her measurements, compare fabrics with her skin color, and make sure that some fabrics would fit correctly over her body. When she got back to the hotel every night with a newspaper, she tried to look for an apartment, but she always ended up falling asleep.

At the end of the week Rei had nothing left in her. She had been run into the ground having to go through makeup that day so her makeup artist knew what shades went with her skin and what clashed. She felt like a circus clown.

She plopped down on her bed, her hair fanning out under her. She let out a deep sigh and closed her eyes. She was running out of clothes and the rest of her stuff was still at her old apartment with Darien.

Rei got off the bed, finally deciding she had to bite the bullet sooner or later and go over there. She just prayed that Darien wouldn't be there when she arrived. But her luck just wasn't that good...it seldom was. Bracing herself and trying to calm down to keep her temper controlled, she knocked on the door instead of unlocking the door and just waltzing on in.

Rei cursed to herself as Darien opened the door wearing only a pair of jeans.

"Hey-" he started, but Rei just brushed right past him, carrying an armload of boxes.

"How are you?" he asked as she began emptying out clothes from a dresser and into a box she had just folded. She continued to fill the box, seeming to be completely unaware that Darien was trying to talk to her.

"Rei," he said, blocking the doorway. "Please don't be mad at Serena for this. I'm the one that-"

"Don't." Rei snapped. "Don't make excuses for her. She is a grown woman and she needs to take responsibility for what she has done. I have every damned right to be pissed off at her, and at you. So STOP talking to me like we're ok, because we're not." Rei pushed past him and set the box down by the door. Then she walked back into the bedroom, folded another box and filled it with the rest of her clothes.

After depositing that box on the floor, she grabbed another one and headed into the bathroom, Darien on her heels the entire time. It was really starting to grate on her nerves.

"Would you PLEASE just stay out of my way."

After that Darien went into the living room and watched her progress from his propped position on the end of the couch. When Rei finished with the last box she walked up to him.

"Is there any mail for me?"

Darien walked over and grabbed a bag full of mail from beside the television and handed it to her.

"Thank you," she said as she turned on her heel, grabbed a small box and walked out the door. "I'll be back as soon as I get a place for the rest of my stuff." Then she left, the door slamming behind her. She stood there for a minute, trying to stop the tears that were threatening to spill onto her cheeks. After she regained her composure, she walked down the hallway and out of the building.

Walking back into the hotel, Rei made a rush for the elevator when she saw the doors open. As she got onto the elevator, Ami rushed in behind her just as the doors closed.

"I don't CARE what they say now. They DECIDED on here! That's why I've been in this God forsaken hotel for almost a MONTH!" Ami yelled into her cellphone that was perched between her shoulder and her ear as she was digging in her purse. She finally found what she was looking for and pulled it out. It washer personal calendarthat she flipped through frantically. "It's gonna push us too close to the deadline. I REALLY don't think this is a good idea." After a minute Ami sighed. "Fine. I'll call you after the meeting Monday morning." Ami hung up her phone just as they reached their floor.

"I could have been a doctor," Rei heard Ami mutter under her breath as she now searched her purse for her room key. Her purse fell to the floor and Ami bent to pick it down, knocking into Rei.

"Oh! Sorry honey, I didn't see you there."

"It's ok, I figured you were having a pretty important conversation anyway," Rei said as she straightened the box in her arms back out.

"Psh, yeah. After deciding they want to shoot here for the catalog, they changed their minds and want to do it at the beach this time. So now I have to pack AGAIN, and move AGAIN."

"Well, at least it will be fun on the weekends," Rei said with a smile.

"Good point," Ami said with a laugh. "I never thought about it that way. I'll see you on Monday Rei." Ami walked into her room and closed the door softly behind her.

Rei made her way a little further down the hall and balanced the box in one hand as she unlocked her door. She set the box down and plopped down on the chair beside her bed.

"Great," she muttered. Now it was going to be next to impossible for her to find an apartment. She rubbed her temples and she started to relax. It was nice to have peace and quiet FINALLY.

Rei nearly jumped out of her skin as the music from Jedite's room suddenly turned on and blasted through her walls. She let out a moan of frustration before grabbing her purse and heading out the door. She HAD to get away from that noise.

As Rei walked out of her room, she saw Jedite open his door to let in a few more people.

"Hey Rei!" he called, but she just walked right past him and into the elevator, keeping her back to him. Just as the elevator door was about to close, Rei heard someone run in. She turned around to be face to face with Jedite. A sigh of frustration slipped out of her mouth.

"Hey Rei, I was wondering if you would like to come to my little gathering," Jedite said slightly out of breath.

"I would rather poke my eyes out with a dirty pair of Chop Sticks," she informed him in a dead pan voice.

Jedite just stood there speechless as the elevator doors opened and Rei breezed past him. Then he snapped out of it. "You know, you don't have to be such a heartless bitch all the time."

Rei spun on her heel and slapped him hard across his face. "Don't you EVER presume to know me or my heart."


Oooooo, he pissed her off! LOL! Stay tuned for next week's episode!
