Chapter 5.
"Gonna….drown…attention!" I hear, although it's all slurred because I'm half dead! Can't anyone keep it down at night?
"No…don't…Nako!" I hear someone else say back. I also hear crying. I wanna move to look, but I'm just too tired!
"She probably loves Usagi!" I hear that loud and clear, for it was yelled. I have a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. They're talking about me.
"Shhhh…it's….Nako… I'm here…we'll…out…" Once again, I can only hear parts of this conversation, I want to listen in to more, but I feel my eyelids slowly close.
"REI! Wakey wakey Rei!" I hear Usagi say, shaking me. I grumble out a, leave me alone, but she won't leave.
"WHAT Usagi!" I snap at her. I'm crabby in the morning!
"We're hitting a McDonalds for breakfast, do you want anything?" She asks, making it sound like McDonalds for breakfast was actually appetizing.
"No, Usagi, I don't want anything from McDonalds for breakfast! I hate McDonalds period!" I say back. Who knows what the hell they put in that new coffee they make…I shudder at the mere thought of it. I sit up, now awake and mutter thanks a lot at Usagi. She just smiles and sticks her tongue out at me. I get up off the floor, and crack my back.
"Ya know Usagi; it's really not very comfortable on the floor! Are we gonna stay in any hotels at all?" I ask again irritably. Once again, crabby.
"Oh just shut up Rei! The world doesn't revolve around you." I turn around to see Minako staring at me, glaring no glare I've ever seen before. She is eternally pissed… I gulp and sit down again, then turn back to Usagi.
"Are we?" I ask again, not so crabby anymore.
"Yeah,
eventually, like if we go to the Rollercoaster Park in a couple days,
we'll stay at their hotel because they also have another water park
attached to it and…"
"NO MORE WATER PARKS!" I say in a
hurry, interrupting her. She just blinks.
"But Rei, I thought you loved Water Parks?" She questions.
"Not so much anymore…" I say, looking down at my shorts.
"You don't have to go Rei." Usagi says, kneeling down in front of me, kinda straddling my knees.
"I don't want you to go to anymore water parks without me!" I say, determined. I hear Minako gag and walk away. Great, I have a pissed off goddess of love, and a confused Moon Princess. Greeaaaat.
"Usagi! Come get your McGriddle!" Michiru yells from the 'cockpit'.
"Coming Michiru!" She exclaims back, getting up from my knees.
"You should talk to her." Usagi says sternly, look towards where Minako walked.
"Why does everybody keep saying that? If she wanted to talk, she'd come to me!" I say in my defense, but I feel guilt building up inside me.
"She did try and come to you. You ran away." Usagi says, then walks away to let me think, and to get her food.
"Please tell me you're not gonna eat this crap Rei." Makoto asks, coming to sit on the couch I'm laying next to.
"No way in hell Mako, no way in hell." I say, looking up at her. We sit in a comfortable silence, but she decides to break it.
"Ya know…I agree with everybody else on the Minako subject. We all know what happened between you two at the Water Park. We may not know the specifics…well actually we do since Minako told some of us, but still…" She trails off, kinda nervous.
I sigh. Why God why! Is this my punishment for some unknown crime! Cus really, I'd probably rather be in Hell! "I understand Mako…I just…don't know what to do." I leave her with that as I head toward the 'cockpit'.
"Hey Rei." Haruka and Michiru greet as I walk up behind them.
"Hey you two. Enjoying your time in the cockpit?" I ask smirking.
"Well…I wouldn't really call it a 'cockpit' but…" Haruka trails off. I blush bright red as Michiru smacks her arm.
"Ruka!" She exclaims embarrassed. Haruka just chuckles at her own joke.
"I think I'll just walk away now. Any other orders you want me to take back?" I ask, just a little uncomfortable.
"Yeah, we called Minako up, but she didn't come get her Premium Roast Coffee. Take it back to her." Haruka said, kinda forcefully.
"O-ok…" I stutter. I take the coffee from Michiru, and make my way back towards Minako.
"Um uh Minako…" I say, that must have sounded so smooth.
"What do you want?" She asks sharply.
"Just droppin' off your coffee…" I trail off, and start to walk away after setting her coffee on one of the mini tables.
"Thank you…" I hear her whisper off. I just keep walking. I hear the song, Accidentally In Love, playing up front, and yell,
"Haruka! Turn this one up!" She shows me the thumbs up sign and turns the song up. I walk over to the couch and plop down on it. Ami laughs hysterically from across the can, which causes me to look up. Down on the floor, are Ami and Makoto, Makoto on top of Ami tickling her. Ami is turning a little pink too.
"P-please stop M-Makoto…" She breathes out in between her laughs. I know she doesn't want Makoto to stop though.
"Nope. Not 'till you tell me something I wanna hear." Makoto teases, smile in place.
"I-I don't k-know what you w-wanna hear!" Ami staggers out.
"Wrong answer!" Makoto exclaims, and tickles Ami more. I laugh at Ami. Poor girl. Makoto keeps on tickling her, a looks over at me and winks. I just laugh some more. I know what she wants to know. I think Ami is gonna crack soon.
"FINE Makoto! Stop and I-I'll tell you s-s-something you wanna k-know!" Ami exclaims. Makoto halts her assault on Ami as we come to a stop.
"Well..." Makoto drawls out.
"I-I like you Makoto…as more than a friend…" Ami says, blushing furiously.
"That's what I wanted to here." Makoto said. She leaned down and pecked Ami's lips lightly, then pulled back up.
"HEY ALL YOU PICKY PEOPLE: cough: Rei and Makoto: cough," Usagi yelled from the front of the van. Makoto and I rolled our eyes. "We've stopped at a Dunkin' Donuts for you!" Makoto and I rejoiced and ran out of the van. Michiru and Setsuna in tail.
"Thank God!" I say, relieved.
"Yeah, I know what you mean! I don't know how Ruka can eat that stuff!" Michiru says, pretending to gag. Setsuna just nods and laughs a bit at Michiru's motion.
"Yeah, Minako and Usagi are C-R-A-Z-Y!" I exclaim. We all laugh, when we hear,
"I'm not crazy." We all stop in our tracks and spin around to see Minako walking behind us.
"Err…." I mutter out. Great job Rei! Minako just walks past me, bumping my shoulder on the way.
"Damn it…" I breathe out once she enters the Dunking Doughnuts. Makoto and Michiru just put a hand on my shoulders and we all continue our way into Dunkin' Doughnuts.
"I'll have a chocolate glaze doughnut and a French Vanilla coffee please. " I say once we get to the counter. The girl then looks at Makoto, who fumbles with her words and gets out a,
"Supreme Omelet please." Michiru just giggles and says,
"Sausage Egg Cheese Croissant Sandwich please." Setsuna just nods, indicating that she wants the same thing. We get our food and head out of the store happily.
"How can you eat a chocolate doughnut for breakfast?" Setsuna asks, bewildered.
I just smile and say, "I guess Usagi has rubbed off on me after all." Then make my way into the van.
"Ok ok, are all you picky people happy now?" Usagi asks once we're all on board. We all let out a, Yes Mom, and giggle. Usagi just groans and sits next to Haruka in the cockpit. Michiru and I sit on one couch, while Setsuna and Makoto sit on the other. I look around trying to find Minako. She's leaning against one of the van's side doors, munching on her blueberry muffin, and sipping her McDonald's coffee. I nudge Makoto and whisper,
"Hey…maybe she'll grow an extra finger 'cause of that coffee." Makoto almost chokes on her Omelet and glares at me.
"Hey Minako." She says, getting Minako to look up.
"Yeah Mako?" She asks, glaring at me.
"Guess what Rei just said about you…." She trails off.
"Why would I care what that idiot says about me?" Minako asks sharply. I must say, that one hurt!
"She said she hopes you grow an extra finger cus of that coffee!" Makoto laughed out loud as she said this. I just glared at her, and looked to Minako to see what her reaction would be. She just stood up and walked briskly past me. There is a separate little room with a queen sized bed in it in the back. I hear her flop down on the bed. I punch Makoto and stalk off after Minako.
"You suck Makoto." I say angrily as I get to the separate room. I knock and hear,
"Go away! I don't wanna talk Rei! I never wanna see you again. You obviously don't care about me!" I wince. That was harsh.
"Fine! You don't wanna see me, wish granted princess bitch!" I regret it as soon as I say it, but I know I can't take it back. I almost run to the cockpit, and whisper in Haruka's ear, "Can you stop at the next Kroger or Meijer or Kmart of whatever you see!" She just nods and pulls over as we spot a Meijer.
"I'll be back…" I mutter as I open the door of the van and walk out. Ami follows me and says,
"Rei! I'm coming with you! I'm not leaving you alone in a store with a fire arms department!" I just grunt at her and run into the store. We walk inside and I grab the first cart I see.
"She never wants to see me again…" I mutter.
"What was that Rei? I didn't hear you." Ami says, confused.
"I said she never wants to see my frikin' guts again Ami! Don't you get it?" We keep walking, regardless of the stares we receive. We reach the home décor department and I plop down on one of the King sized beds. Ami plops down next to me, and just stares at me.
"You brought this on your self Rei…" She whispers. I look over at her, tears at the edges of my eyes.
"I didn't mean to Ami…it just happened so fast! It seems like it was all going so good, and it just crashed! I-I-I…" I can't get out anymore. Ami moves so that she's hugging me in a tight embrace.
"I talked to her last night ya know…" Ami trails off. I look up at her, and wipe a few tears away.
"What did she say?"
Hahaha! Cliffie! I hope this chapter is good… my shoulder is in a great amount of pain right now, and I have no idea why! Hopefully I'll go to the cariopracter (sp) soon. As always, try to Read & Review!
