elwing: I think Rei's way to strong to just faint
Chapter 3
She was standing right in front of Notre Dame de Paris. This cathedral was beautiful, but there was no chance to see the inside, there were just too many people waiting for their opportunity to do so. So Rei decided to visit the Louvre. Maybe she had more luck there. It took her half an hour to get in there and her first way, was of course the way to the Mona Lisa portrait. What was so special about it, Rei wanted to know.
The dark haired woman had to fight her way through a crowd of German students and their teachers, who were ready to kill everyone who got in their way at seeing Mona Lisa. "Hey! You!" Rei had a voice, a very dangerous voice. She turned around and stared in the face of one of the ready-to-kill teachers. "Y-yes?" She stuttered. Okay, Rei Hino was not a person to be afraid of anyone, but have you ever seen a mad teacher?
"You, get behind us, we were there first." Rei was just about to answer something, when suddenly someone grabbed her and dragged her behind the group.
"Don't ever mess with a teacher who has to look after a group of 15 year old boys and girls. This one" the person who had rescued her pointed at the teacher, who was still ready to kill, and spoke "This one is really desperate, she just wants to go back to the hotel and sleep 24/7."
Rei eyed her rescuer, an attractive young boy, a few years younger than her, but wise nonetheless. "How do you know?"
"Hey, I was fifteen once too and I was specialised on making my teachers desperate." He grinned at her and batted her shoulder. "It was nice meeting you, but I have to go now. My mother's calling for me." With that her mysterious rescuer disappeared in the crowd once more and once more Rei was left alone. And at the moment she really felt alone. She wondered what Usagi was doing at the moment. Perhaps deciding which dress to wear for her wedding. Rei sighed. Why couldn't life be easy once? Rei shook her head and promised herself to never think of Usagi again. At least while she was in Paris.
Ten minutes later Rei gave up seeing the Mona Lisa once. She had been running through Paris the whole day and now she was tired and longed for a bed and maybe a good book. So she decided to go back to her hotel.
"Hey, you guys!" Ami waved with a letter to her friends. "I got a letter from Rei. She's in Paris at the moment. Can you believe it? She's going to see all these historical things."
Minako rolled her eyes and laughed. "All these historical things? I hope she meets a few boys or girls for that matter."
Makoto grinned and took the letter out of Amis hands. After reading it she said "She doesn't seem happy, in fact the letter seems to be written by someone very sad."
"She is sad. Wouldn't you be?"
"Of course I would."
Minako was the next one to read the letter. "It would've been best for her to stay here, where her friends are. We would at least be able to cheer her up, but she's all alone in Europe." The blonde folded the letter and gave it back to Ami. "Maybe we should travel after her?"
Ami shook her head. "She would've asked us to come, if she would like us to be there." After she had said that, she glanced at her watch. "It's time to go. Usagi awaits us in half an hour."
"Do we really have to help her pick out her gown?" Makoto asked. Not that she didn't like Usagi, but her loyalty was split in two halves. And it was difficult for to decide whom her loyalty belonged to. Usagi or Rei? Rei or Usagi?
"Yes Makoto. We love Usagi as much as we love Rei, don't we?"
"Sure, but it doesn't feel right." Minako and Ami nodded. Sure it didn't feel right to them either, but they couldn't do anything about it. All three sighed and stood up. It was time to go.
"What do you think of this one?" Usagi held up a pink dress. It looked awful and had lots of frills over it.
"You don't really mean it, do you?" Minako had a disgusted look on her face and Makoto looked like she would have to throw up. "You would look like a candy and you don't want to look like a candy, do you?"
"But it's beautiful I think."
"And do you also think that it's beautiful to have a wedding without guests?" Minako asked.
"No, no … okay … then I guess no pink dress."
"Right. You only marry once, so the dress has to be white." Ami said and took away the pink dress.
They looked around quietly for a few moments, till Minako let out a loud squeal. "This is it!"
In an instant the other three girls were at her side and looked at the dress. "It's awesome, it's perfect."
"It is. Wow, I would really like to marry in this dress. Will you lend it to me when I am ready with marrying someone?"
"Sure. It can be our tradition. But I think Makoto won't fit in it." Usagi giggled.
The girls waited for a snappy comment, but nothing came. If Rei would've been there, Usagi and she would have argued and Rei would have said something sarcastic. But Rei was not there. She was in Europe and she wouldn't be back for another two months.
"Hey guys, I have an idea. I am going to call Rei and tell her that I have found the perfect dress."
Ami had an alerted look on her face and Minako said "I don't think that this would be a good idea."
"What? Why?"
Minako exploded. "Are you that clueless Usagi?" And with that she stormed off.
"What was that?" Makoto and Ami just shrugged.
