Chapter 3.
"I'm really tired." I hear Usagi yawn out, lying down sprawled out in the middle of the van. There's nice shag rug carpeting in here…it's so comfy.
"Yes… I'm getting pretty tired myself." Ami says, yawning.
Setsuna smiles and says, "We should all try to get some sleep, Haruka can drive us through the night and get some sleep when we reach a rest stop or McDonalds parking lot or something…" Setsuna opens the mini closet in the van, and pulls out, what seems like, hundreds of pillows. Minako smiles a dastardly smile as she grabs two pillows and one blanket.
"I'm not tired." I say as she walks back to me on her knees. She just gives me the quivering lip and puppy dog eyes.
"No Minako… I'm NOT sleepy!" I say again, raising my voice a bit.
"Please let me lay on you then…or at least in your lap…or something!" she says, exasperated. I just smirk. I'm lying on one of the big comfy couches that litter the walls of the van. I'm also taking up the entire couch, head at one end, feet at the other. There's no way she could lay with me.
"Minako, just take the floor or the water bed or the other couch or something!" I say back at her, eyes closed.
"Fine…I'll go lay on the couch." She says, and I hear her knees pad away on the shag rug. I sigh; just listening to the soft music Haruka had playing.
"AHHHH!" I hear Minako yell, I open my eyes abruptly to see Minako get a running start at her jump towards the couch I'm laying on.
"Oh shit!" I say, trying to move out of the way, but I'm too slow.
"Oof" I grunt, as she lands squarely on top of me. She is just smiling innocently at me, in her orange tank top and baggy pajama bottoms with penguins on them. I just growl at her.
"Why oh why must you persist on everything!" I finally say, after holding my breath and counting to ten.
"Aww….how cute are you two?" Makoto teases from the floor. I notice Ami trying to scoot closer to her with out being noticed. I sigh again, oh Ami, you should open up to Makoto, tell her how you feel! I look over towards Setsuna and Michiru, only to find that they're glaring at me!
"What did I do?" I ask them.
"Please try to NOT swear around our daughter! When she starts swearing I'll know who to blame…" Setsuna mutters…
"You and Haruka, I swear, you'll influence all these bad habits on her! Swearing, drinking…" Michiru trails off.
Haruka grunts and says, "I don't drink that much…"
"You shouldn't be drinking at all!" Michiru replies back defensively. Haruka just mutters something incoherent and keeps driving. The size of this van still amazes me. Minako shifts her weight so that her head is lying near my collar bone, and her arms are wrapped around my waist. I can feel her hot breath on my neck and it sends chills up my spine. I slowly move my hand up and start to stroke her hair. She hums in happiness. I smile and look over to Makoto. She's just smiling at me; arm up in the air, giving me the thumbs up sign. I smile back, as Minako falls asleep. Setsuna walks past me, carrying Hotaru in her arms. She looks down at Minako and me, and just has that 'I know what's gonna happen' look in her eyes. I feel my eyes start to close, falling asleep.
"Muh…Rei…" I hear someone slur our.
"Wake up Rei! We're getting breakfast at a Denny's!" I crack my eyes open to see Minako looking down at me.
"Great…ugg…I feel sticky!" I groaned out.
She just giggled at me and pulled me to my feet.
"Come on, they've got a table saved!" She tugged on my hand and started walking out of the van. We walked into the restaurant and saw our party. We walked over and sat down. I pulled my hand out of Minako's, realizing she never let it go.
"Aww what's wrong Rei?" Makoto teased. Haruka picked up for her.
"Afraid to hold her hand?"
"Shut up…" muttered under my breath. I heard Michiru swat Haruka.
"Good Morning and welcome to Denny's! My name is Terri and I will be your waitress. Do you know what you're going to order?"
"Yup! I'll have the Ultimate Omelette and the Grand Slam Slugger and Heartland Scramble and the Steakhouse Strip & Eggs!" Usagi said energetically. Terri just stared. Usagi, as if remembering something, suddenly said, "Oh, and can I have a milk with that please?"
Terri blinked and started to write at her little pad furiously. We all ordered after that. I got the Belgian Waffle Platter. We ate, and split up the bill, which was around $110. I had to pay about $12.
"So where are we heading to now?" I asked Usagi as we headed out of Denny's.
"There's a Water Park about 30 miles away, I was thinkin' we could go there!" she said, very hyper.
"YEAH! That'll be awesome! I have the cutest little bathing suit too! Let's go!" Minako exclaimed, just as hyper as Usagi. Everybody started to pile into the van. I always tried to come in last, so as not to be trampled over. I started to walk to the van, when I felt something on my back.
"Minako… "I mumbled, seeing a swish of blonde hair to my side.
"Yeees Rei?" She asked.
"The others are waiting…and I really wanna go to the Water Park." I said. Minako quickly dislodged from me and sped into the van.
":sigh: Great job Rei, you idiot." I mutter at myself. I walk into the van and sit in the passenger seat next to Setsuna. "I thought Haruka was driving?" I inquired.
"Haruka needs a nap before we get to the Water Park, so I'm taking over." She stated calmly.
"Oh…" I utter, I need to talk to Haruka.
"Rei," Setsuna says.
"Yes Setsuna?" I ask back.
"Need to talk?" She asked, looking at me as we pulled to a stop light.
"…yes" I mutter out. Setsuna turns her head back toward the road, and drives. I see her smile out of the corner of my eye.
"Is this about a person?" Setsuna asks me.
"What, are we playing 20 questions now?" I reply agitated.
"Yes, now answer the question." She tells me.
I grumble and mutter a yes out.
"Would this person happen to be in the van?" she asks again. Again, I grumble out a yeah.
"Would this person happen to be Minako?" She asks me.
I look over at Setsuna and say, "…Y-Yes Setsuna…I don't know, I know I have feelings for her, and I think she returns these feelings, but what about my duty to the Princess?"
Setsuna ponders for a moment, deciding what she was about to say. I sigh, I need a massage!
"Look at Haruka and Michiru." She states simply. I ponder for a while, and then mutter a 'thank you' as I walk away to the back of the van.
Setsuna then yells out a, "ONLY ABOUT 15 MORE MINUTES" and the van gives a little cheer. I walk over to one of the couches. Ami is sitting there, staring at Makoto who is on the floor playing with a Gameboy or something. I sit down next to her and try to strike up a conversation.
"You need to tell her." Wow…that came out as bluntly as one of Buffy's Stakes.
"I could say likewise." She mumbles, not taking her eyes off Makoto.
"Pikachu thunder attack!" Makoto yelled triumphantly and jumped to her knees.
Ami giggled, and so did I. It was a sight to see, the all mighty Thunder Senshi, getting all excited about a Pokemon game. Quite a sight to see.
"Minako is in the back lying down with Haruka and Michiru." Ami says.
I raised an eyebrow at this.
Ami blushes bright red and says, "She needed to talk! I swear!" I laugh at this.
"I know what you mean Ami, I'm just teasin' you." I say as I get up off of the couch.
"Where are ya going Rei?" Makoto asks, not looking up from her Gameboy.
"I'm going to grab my bathing suit. We're gonna be there in like…a couple minutes." I say, walking over to where my suitcase is. I take out my towel, which is all black with orange and red flames. Then I dig through my suitcase a bit more and find my bathing suit. A sweet red bikini. I walk back towards the 'cockpit' where Setsuna and I sit back down.
"Did you talk to her?" She asks me, not taking her eyes off of the road.
"Nope, I talked to Ami," as I said this she shot me a death glare.
"Hey, you didn't let me finish! I'm gonna talk to her when we get to the,"
"WATER PARK!" Hotaru yells, running to the front of the van. She tries to plaster herself to the windshield, but Setsuna somehow holds her back, while still driving. Hotaru dances with giddy delight, and runs back toward Ami and Makoto and yells, "YOU GUYS! WE'RE HERE!"
Well, this is the end of chapter 3. Tell me how you think the day at the water park should go, and I'll see what I can do
