Mel yawned and stretched and looked at her clock. "8 o'clock in the morning who the hell would come to see me this early." Mel carefully let go of Makoto and walked out of her room towards her door. Mel opened her door as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. When her eyes focused she saw Minako standing there. "Mina-chan what brings you here so early? Here come in." Mel opened her door wider and saw another girl standing there. Her bright pink hair accented her different colored eyes. Her left was violet and her right was hazel with a green ring around the pupil. She resembled Minako in looks and height but that was as far as it went. She stood there in cut off denim shorts and a white T-shirt. She had a silver bow tied in her hair and a backwards visor on. Mel saw the white rose tattooed to her right arm and a blue heart with 'Tiger' written over it, and ran her hand through her hair. "Who's your friend Mina-chan?"
"Don't even think about it you tattooed fruit loop not only are you taken but so is she. And if you really must know she's my sister Alana."
Mel blinked a few times. "Good Morning to you too jeeze. Wake me up then be all rude I see how you are Mina-chan."
"Did we really wake you? I'm sorry I told Minako it was too early. But she wigged out when we went to her friend Makoto's apartment and found it was empty."
By this time Makoto had walked out of the bedroom fully dressed. Her thick brunette hair rested freely on her shoulders. "Hey Mina-chan." Makoto stood next to Mel and put her arm around her waist and whispered in her ear. "Go get dressed k I'll keep Minako and her friend company." Mel nodded and walked off. "So Mina-chan who's your friend?"
Minako huffed. "She's my sister Alana. Now can you tell me why you didn't tell any of us you moved in with Mel? I went to your place to talk to you about letting my sister stay there with you and found it was empty."
"Slow down Mina-chan. The apartment is still mine so if she needs a place she's more then welcome to stay there. Before I moved in here I bought that apartment so she won't even have to pay for it." Makoto walked over to the bar and picked up a key and tossed it to Minako. "Here's the key."
"That still doesn't answer my question Mako-chan. Why didn't you tell any of us you moved in with Mel?" Minako looked at the key in her hand. "That's really not fair Mako-chan I know how much that apartment cost you to buy. You could at least charge her rent."
"Iie Mina-chan, you're my friend and I wouldn't charge you rent so why would I charge your sister? And I didn't tell you because this is the first time since we've been back from Milan that I've seen you. I've only been living here about 3 days. You guys are busy with college and Mel and I have been busy getting our bar/grill/night club open it's just wasn't the most important thing on my mind." Makoto sighed softly. "Gomen nasai Mina-chan."
Minako's eyes got wide. "So that's why you guys haven't come back. How can you own a restaurant of any kind without a degree?"
Mel chuckled. "That's easy Mina-chan buy the building and give all the right people enough money and they jus turn a blind eye." Mel winked at Minako. "I'm only joking. You only need a degree if you're lookin for a job as a cook or restaurant manager. But if you buy it and are the owner you don't need a degree you just need all the right paper work. So it's really easier to own your own then to try and find a job in one. Less hassle. Though getting that liquor license was pretty hard to get cuz they didn't believe Makoto was 22." Makoto shrugged and chuckled slightly. "But we ended up getting it after she brought her original birth certificate in. If Makoto wants to go back to school I'm not gonna hold her back. It's really all up to her."
Makoto fiddled with the ring on her finger. "Well it's not entirely just my decision."
Minako looked at Makoto funny and then looked at her hand and saw her fiddling with the ring. "And just when did you plan on telling us about that!" Minako shrieked. Makoto looked at her friend and then back at Mel. "Don't look at her for the answer Mako-chan. Damn have we really grown that far apart? I didn't realize we really only see each other in school and study group."
Makoto hung her head and sighed then looked back at Minako. "I planned on telling you all."
"How Mako-chan? Were just gonna wait and mail us all an invitation? Though its gonna be pretty hard convincing people that Mel is a guy."
Mel looked at Minako. "Um no not really Mina-chan I can pull it off better then Haruka if I really put effort into it. I'm a witch Mina-chan remember my hair can be any length I want it to be."
"Will you two stop it yeesh! You're acting like two year olds." Makoto sighed. "No Mina-chan I wasn't going to wait to tell you by mailing you an invitation. When we got the bar/grill/night club ready to open we were going to have a private party for all of us and I was going to tell you all then. Do you think you can keep it a secret for about another week? By next weekend we'll have it ready. Please Mina-chan."
Minako smiled softly. "Yea I can do that for you Mako-chan but only if you make me your maid of honor." Minako smiled evilly.
Makoto smiled. "Ok if that's what it'll take to keep you quiet." Makoto jumped slightly when loud music came from the front room.

Makoto laughed. "Hmmm Tatu, fergot she had that." The music got a bit louder and Makoto shook her head.
Random acts of mindlessness Common place occurrences Chances and surprises Another state of consciousness
Tell me nothing ever counts Lashing out or breaking down Still somebody loses 'cause There's no way to turn around

Mel smiled when she saw Makoto shake her head. She lowered it when Clowns started but turned it off and walked out by the others. "Are you two done bribing each other? Cuz if you are would you like to go to breakfast my treat."
Alana's eyes got wide. "Please tell me you're kidding."
Minako smiled. "Alana Mel-chan owns this building so believe me she's serious. And knowing the kind of person she is she bought the apartment from Mako-chan's land lord. So jus smile and accept ok."
Mel's eye's got wide. "Oh ok lil miss idol over there has as much if not more money as me. Her only problem is she's cheap."
Alana laughed. "Hai she is that Mel-chan. But I would love to join you guys for breakfast. Arigotu."
Mel smiled and the four girls left for the restaurant. They all hopped in Mel's '67 Shelby Cobra GT 500. When they got there they pulled in along with a yellow convertible '69 sting ray. Mel smiled when she got out of her car. "Damn Ten'ou-san I one upped you again car wise."
Haruka looked at the cobalt blue car. There were two racing stripes down the center of it. Her eyes got wide as she saw the car in perfect condition. A sly smile crossed her lips. "Ok Miss Rally Vincent. But you're right you did one up me car wise. That's a beautiful car. Where did you find one in such perfect condition?"
It was Mel's turn to smirk. "I restored it my self actually." Mel chuckled at the look on Haruka's face. "You know you want my skills."
Haruka laughed. "In your dreams kitten. You should want my skills." Haruka laughed again at the look she was getting from Mel, Makoto and Minako. "You got lucky in Milan."
Mel smirked. "Hai in more than just the race if you get my drift." Makoto and Minako both smacked Mel. "Ouch that was evil you guys. Only one not hitting me is Alana yeesh!" Mel pulled Haruka off to the side and leaned in and spoke softly to her. "I bet you $100 I can get your girlfriend off in under a minute. I can get Mako-chan quicker than that. I only said your girl cuz I never been with her. So care to take that bet?"
Haruka's eyes got wide. "Um I think I'll pass on that."
Mel stood up straight and chuckled. "Good because I wasn't serious about making it. Though I probably could do it. I mean that is if I were single. Come on we've kept them waiting enough."
Haruka chuckled and mussed Mel's hair. "Hai lets go. Minako-chan is probably on her second cow."
Mel laughed. "Yea probably. You and Michiru-chan enjoy your breakfast. Its bad enough I'm paying for theirs. Mako-chan can eat and damn it so can Minako-chan. I jus hope her sister isn't like her in that department. Ah well Ja." Mel waved over her shoulder at Haruka as she walked back over by the others. She walked up behind Makoto and Minako and draped an arm over one of their shoulder. Mel kissed Makoto's neck softly. "So are you women finally done talking because I'm starving?"
Michiru giggled. "Are YOU and HARUKA done talking? We were mearly entertaining each other till you were finished."
Mel smirked. "What you mean finished? I haven't even started yet." Mel winked at the teal haired girl.
Ivory pushed between Mel and Makoto and smiled. "Look I don't care what you guys say I'M FRICKIN HUNGRY!" Ivory smiled widely at Mel.
"Yes dear. The little queen has spoken lets go get some food ok girls." Mel smiled as Minako removed her arm from her shoulder.
On the way back to Mel's from breakfast Mel's cell phone rang. Makoto picked it up off the seat and answered it. "Whoa slow down Crystal. Ok give us a few minutes let us drop sum stuff off fist we'll be there ASAP ok." Makoto looked over at Mel and using the text message feature on Mel's phone Makoto simply wrote 'yoma's at park' Mel nodded and when they got back to Mel's Makoto pulled Minako off to the side. "Get to the park as soon as you can there's a yoma attack."
"Gotcha Mako-chan. I'll take Alana home and get there ASAP ok."
Makoto nodded. "Ok hopefully we'll see you there. You ready Mel?"
Alana tuned around just in time to see a black panther jump in the car. "Was that just a black panther?"
Mel smiled. "Yea it was I gotta take her to the vet. Mina-chan never told ya I had a panther huh."
Alana smiled. "No she didn't tell me. Well hope everything is ok with her. Come on Minako lets get going."
Minako nodded. "Yea we better go. Hope Ahriman is ok."
Minako and Alana got in her car and left. Mel and Makoto jumped into Mel's car and sped off towards the park. When they got there they saw a large serpent like yoma coiled around a lamp post. Mars and Mercury combined their attacks while Uranus charged at it with her space sword. Mel looked at Makoto and nodded. The two of them transformed and Super Nova, Jupiter, and Ahriman ran to the aid of the other Senshi.
"Where's Venus?"
Jupiter shrugged. "Her and her sister left before Mel and me so I don't know. She's probably having trouble explaining things to her sister. Hopefully she'll make it."
Super Nova drew her sword and glared at the yoma. "Move it Uranus." Black demon wings sprung from Nova's back as she ran at the yoma. She flew up to it and buried her sword deep in the yoma's chest. When she removed her sword the wound healed. "Shit! Wounds 'eal after they are inflicted. Now wha?" Super Nova landed next to Jupiter and sighed.
"Starlight Laser!"
The yoma was hit by a pale blue beam then crumbled into a pile of dust. The other Senshi spun around and saw Sailor Venus standing there next to another Senshi. Her fuku was dark green and it had navy blue bows. The silver bow in her hair accented her bright pink hair.
Venus smiled. "Sorry I'm late you guys but it's all her fault."
The new Senshi smiled. "Yes it was my fault. I'm sorry but I had to convince Minako to let me come."
Jupiter looked at the new Senshi. "Alana?"
The Senshi smiled. "Hey Mako-chan."
Super Nova stepped forward. "'ow did you know?"
"That was easy Mel-chan. The black panther gave you two away. Well at least you."
Nova looked at Ahriman. "Don't even say a word cat. Not a word."
"In Senshi form I'm known as Sailor Callisto. Maybe I'll see you guys again out of Senshi form." At that Callisto jumped onto the roof of a near by building and was gone.
