Alright. So. Chapter 2. Crazy. lol. Thanks for the reviews. They made me want to update this as soon as I could. I'm sorry it's so short, but I just needed something to make the transition between what's happened and what's planned in my head smooth. Hope you like it. The previous disclaimer applies.

"Reeeeiiiii" whined Usagi.

Rei dragged a pouting Usagi through the long corridor with Minako in tow. "You know, you're not helping," glared Rei turning around.

"I would, but I know how you like to take charge." Minako winked suggestively.

Rei abruptly turned her back to the grinning Minako, blood rushing to her face, and continued dragging Usagi across the carpeted floor. Unfortunately, Usagi hadn't missed the short conversation between the two girls.

"Ooh, Rei's the dominant type," giggled Usagi.

Stopping in front of an old wooden door with the number 21 edged in, Rei let go of Usagi with a soft thud.

"Ow! You did that on purpose!" accused the blonde, rubbing her sore head.

Rei stuck her tongue out at her future queen who was so elegantly returning the gesture. Stepping in between the two arguing girls, Minako gently knocked on the door.

Makoto leaned closer to the computer, or her, or both. Ami wasn't quite sure which, but she was well aware of how close their bodies were. Makoto's left arm rested along the back of Ami's chair, her other hand resting on her hip while she leaned towards both the computer and Ami. The taller girl's eyes ran over the indicated sentence, her lips showing just a hint of a smile. If Ami took a deep breath, those soft fingers would graze her back and if she were to turn her head to look at the taller girl, her lips would brush against Makoto's cheek. A light knock broke Ami's thoughts, though she was thankful for the distraction, letting out the breath she hadn't known she was holding when Makoto left to answer the door.

"Hey Makoto!" Minako's cheerful voice rang through the apartment. "Oh, hey Ami-chan. Sorry it took us so long. You know how hard it is to pull Usagi away from those games," the blonde added sheepishly, noticing Ami.

"Yea, like you actually helped," retorted Rei.

"I opened the door!"

Rei sighed. "Why do I put up with this?"

"Oh, I'm sure I could think of a few reasons." Minako smiled sweetly.

Coughing lightly, Rei turned to Ami, "Since we're all here, do you want to finish the study session?"

"Why don't we have the day off? Let's have the day off! How about a picnic?" Usagi's eyes brightened at her own idea.

"A picnic would be nice..." added Minako.

"We could even invite Mamoru... Haruka and Michiru... Sestuna... Hotaru and Chibiusa!" Usagi counted people off with her fingers.

"It is nice out..." Ami said in defeat.
