Chapter 6.
"Minako's liked you for a long time, ya know that Rei?" Ami asked me. I just nodded and she continued.
"Guess who she went to? Every time? Asking about you, wanting to know more about you but not actually talking to you? She came to me. Wanted to know everything about you from the start." Ami took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I've told her a lot of things over the years Rei…but what she told me last night scared me beyond belief."
I look up when I hear this and ask, "What did she tell you?"
Ami gulps and looks at me, dead in the eyes. "She said she's gonna have to purposely try to drown or hurt her self or die to get your attention."
"What the hell! Why would she think that? What did you say to her?" I ask, getting up off the bed and grab the cart.
"Calm down. It's not like I encouraged her. I told her that she would never have to do that to gain your attention. She just kept arguing with me though. She thinks you are in love with Usagi…" I feel my face turn red with anger at hearing this. She can't see what's right in front of her? Do I even know what's right in front of me?
"How can she think that? I love her like everybody else does. She can't say that I love her more! Can she truly deny the fact that she would lay her life on the line for Usagi? No, she couldn't, because we all love Usagi." I turn to look at Ami, who's keeping pace and walking next to me.
"No, she couldn't deny that Rei, but you have to understand that she's jealous!" I think I have that 'deer-caught-in-head-lights' look right now, but I really don't know.
"Maybe you should do something to prove to her that you love her and not Usagi." Ami had a mischievous glint in her eyes, "Usagi was telling me we're gonna hit the Roller Coaster Park next, and I know the perfect way for you to show her you got the hotts for her." Ami winks at me and I laugh.
"Well aren't you the little matchmaker, eh' Ami? So tell about this plan of yours…"
Ami and I leave Meijers' and head into the parking lot.
"Where'd Haruka go?" Ami asks, and I just shrug. Next thing we know, a big ol' van we're getting acquainted with speeds to a stop in front of us. The van door opens to reveal Usagi, and I yell, "You're late!" She just sticks her tongue out at me, and pulls Ami into the van.
"Next stop…ROLLER COASTER PARK! WOOO-HOOO!" Usagi and Hotaru yell energetically once I'm in the van. The door slides closed and we speed off.
"It'll be about a half an hour 'till we get to the Park." Haruka announces from the cockpit. A low growl emits from Usagi's stomach and I look up.
"You're already hungry?" I ask in amazement.
"Well yeah…" Usagi says, like its common knowledge. I sigh and grab my duffle bag. I pull out a snickers bar and throw it at Usagi. "Here…this should keep that bottomless pit of yours quiet 'till we get to the park." I mutter out. Usagi digs into the bar, and munches out a Thank You Rei, and continues eating. Makoto laughs and teases, "Why Rei! Showing the princess some kindness for once? Glad you've come to huh?" I just growl at Makoto as Ami places a hand on her arm. Makoto stops laughing and looks at Ami. That glint from before is back with a vengeance and Makoto suddenly seems to understand. Minako comes to sit with us, but won't look at me. I look at Ami and mouth a SOS at her. She just giggles and goes back to talking with Makoto. I look at Minako, and she looks up too. Her deep blue eyes boring holes into my soul.
"Minako?" I ask, preparing for the worst.
"What?" She asks, looking away.
"I'm sorry..." I mumble out.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you?" She asks, looking back towards me.
"I said I bet I can handle more rides than you without puking!" I quickly cover up. Ami glares at me and Makoto and Usagi both sigh. Minako puts up a mask that covers her emotions, and says, "Whatever Rei…" I sigh, getting up and walking into the cockpit.
"We almost there?" I ask as I walk up.
"Actually, we're here NOW!" Haruka says excitedly, finding a parking spot. There aren't too many cars here, but I'm assuming that's because it's a SCHOOL DAY! Haruka bolts out of her chair past me. I turn to see her grabbing Hotaru and Usagi around the waist and carrying them out the door. Michiru, Setsuna, and I all chuckle. I head out the door and run to catch up to Ami, Makoto, and Minako.
"Who's excited? I'M EXCITED!" I yell at the top of my lungs. We all laugh and head to the ticket gate where Usagi, Haruka, and Hotaru are.
"Guess what you guys…" Usagi says excitedly, sly smile in place.
"What's up Usagi?" Makoto asks.
"MAMO'S MEETING US HERE!" Usagi squealed. I smiled; Usagi's prince is joining us eh'?
"What are we standin' around for? Let's go ride some coasters!" Ami exclaimed. She quickly grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards the biggest Roller Coaster.
"'The Terminator' Ami?" I ask as we stand in all its 470 feet glory.
"It goes 140 miles per hour…" Ami said in marvel of the giant coaster. We both look at each other and say together, "Lets ride it!" We laugh as we make our way into the very short line. A couple more people get behind us, when I see Makoto towering over everybody.
"Ey! Mako!" Ami yells, spotting her girl. Makoto smiles and waves, to polite to cut in front of the people behind us. Ami and I reach the front of the line and pick the car at the very back.
"So we need to figure out when the picture is taken right?" I ask as everybody gets seated. Makoto and Usagi are seated three carts in front of us, and Haruka and Hotaru are in the front line!
"Where's Minako?" I yell so that everybody can hear me. Usagi turns around in her seat to look at me and says, "She, Michiru, and Setsuna are getting food for us once we get off the ride, they're also picking up MY MAMO!" I give her the thumbs up sign as we start to move and she turns around. It starts off with a giant hill. We slowly make our way up the hill and Ami says, "Remember the plan Rei?" I nod as I hear Usagi scream her lungs out going down the hill. Funny thing is, that was the smallest hill for this coaster. I throw my arms up in the air and Ami clutches the safety bar.
"YEAH! WOOOO-HOOOOOoOooOOOO!" I holler out as we make our way down. I keep my hands up through the loop and the next hill. We're making our way up the biggest hill now, and I nudge Ami.
"Put your hands up." I say.
"No! I'm scared!" She says, looking at me.
"Just put your hands up Ami! Trust me!" I yell at her over Usagi's screams. We're just about to go down! I throw my hands up into the Air and yell,
"I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!" Ami puts her hands up at the last second, and we zoom down the hill at the amazing speeds of 145 mph! We go down into a tunnel and there is a bright flash. There! We reemerge and get off the ride. We make out way over to Minako, Michiru, Setsuna, and Mamoru who must have just joined us.
"Setsuna-mama, Michiru-mama, did ya see me? Did ya see me?" Hotaru asks excitedly.
"Why yes I did Hotaru, I got a couple pictures of you too." Michiru says, while Setsuna pats Hotaru's head. Hotaru grins.
"Hey, there was a picture on that ride! Can we go see ours?" Usagi asks, already walking towards the booth. I shake my head and follow after, everybody else in tow. We reach the booth and laugh. The very first picture they have on the screen is Hotaru with her arms up and laughing, and Haruka screaming and tightly gripping the safety bar! I double over in laughter.
"Y-you were scared! I made A-ami put her hands and you gripped the safety bar!" I get a hard slap on the back to quickly stop laughing. Haruka is bright red.
"I don't like heights…" she mutters out. Michiru goes up on her tippy-toes, gives her a kiss on the cheek and says, "It's all right Ruka." The next picture we see is Makoto whooping with joy, one arm in the air, with Usagi. Usagi is screaming, mouth as big as it can get, gripping Makoto's other arm! We all laugh a bit, and then wait. Ami's and mine's slide is comin' up. There, on that big brilliant screen is Ami, arms in the air, triumphant smile on her face, and me, arms up in the air, smirking at the camera! Ami and I look at each other and smile.
"Wow Haruka, Ami put her arms up and you didn't…" Mamoru says, bewildered.
"Oh yeah Flower-Boy? Bring it up again and you might not be able to throw those roses anymore!" Haruka growls out at him. He quickly backs off, putting his arm around Usagi's shoulders. My stomach lets out a particularly loud growl and I blush.
"So can we eat now?" I ask sheepishly. Everybody laughs and we head back to the tables. I grab the French fires and ketchup. I smile deviously and dip a fry in the ketchup. I 'accidentally' dab the ketchup on Minako's nose and say,
"Whoops, my bad Minako." I grin at her as I say this.
"Grrrr…..Rei…." Minako growls out at me. This isn't going as I planned.
"Er….Minako, wanna hit that ride? I know you've been eyeing it for a while!" I stutter out. Ami gives me the thumbs up sign under the table.
Minako has this look on her face that is just too cute! It looks like she's contemplating something deep. She finally cracks a smile and says,
"Sure Rei, why not? It's not like I have to talk to you on the ride anyway."
Ouch…
"BURN!" Haruka yells at me as Minako and I get up and walk to the ride. There only just enough people to fill the carts in the line, thank God. Minako and I get the back cart and I smile.
"Keep your hands up the whole time Minako." I say, not giving her a choice. She sighs and straps in. The ride takes off and Minako and I have are hands up in the air. We reach the peak of the first hill and I shout out a holler and Minako laughs. We speed into the loop-de-loop and I grab one of Minako's hands. I yell,
"Yeah! Faster Faster!" and Minako just looks at me. We head towards the second hill and at the top I yell,
"I'M THE…" and stop yelling as we go down. Minako looks at me questioningly as we head towards the last hill.
"Now be ready Minako, this hill is a doozy…biggest one in the world!" I say, laughing.
Minako looks horrified as she yells at me. "OH MY GOD! WHY DID I LET YOU TALK ME INTO THIS?" She yells at the top of her lungs as we start slowly making out way up the hill.
"It's worth it…" I say, we're almost at the top. We reach the peak and I yell the loudest I've ever yelled,
"LUCKIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD!" As we zoom down the hill I laugh and get ready for what I'm about to do. We go down into the tunnel and I start counting out loud.
"1…"
"What are you counting for Rei?"
"2…"
"Rei?"
"3!" I yell. I move my head so my forehead is pressed against Minako's. I slowly move my lips so they're pressing against hers. I swiftly move my arms around my waist right as the camera goes off. Minako pulls away, out of breath.
"R-Rei…" She says, breathing heavy. I just smile at her, blushing. We emerge out of the tunnel and get off the ride.
"So Rei…" Ami comes up to me, devilish grin in place.
"Plan Executed and Achieved General!" I say, saluting like a solider.
"Good work cadet!" Ami and I burst out laughing once she says this. I grab Minako's hand, not making eye contact and run over to the picture booth. We wait, and wait, and wait, since we sat in the back. Finally, our picture shows up. Minako and me lip locked on a rollercoaster.
"1 keychain, 1 big picture of that last one please." I tell the girl at the booth. Her eyes return to normal size, and she hands me a receipt. "Come back in an hour to get your pictures." I nod and pull Minako away again. We rejoin the group, and Usagi is just beaming.
"So Minako, still think you have to drown?" She teases. Minako blushes bright red and says, "Nope," Then she grins, "Not when I can do this…" She pulls me close to her and kisses me. I just smile into the kiss.
"Aww" Usagi and Hotaru both coo.
I pull away and say, "How do we keep ending up just standing around? Let's go ride some Coasters!"
Ok, this was the new chapter. Give me ideas for future chapters. Like what they could do during the day and such.
