She was crying. Which was strange. I've never seen her crying before. "Rei." I whisper as I approach her. I didn't know what to do. She wasn't answering me so I sat down besides her. I wasn't ever sure if she knew I was there. "Have you eaten any cookie dough?" I ask after a long silence.

She raises her head and looks at me confused. "What?" She asks.

"Cookie dough." I repeat. "You were crying. I always eat cookie dough when I cry."

Rei looks at me and shakes her head. "Sometimes I don't know about you, Minako." She tells me. "But I feel better already now that your hear. I think you should maybe rethink your cookie dough theory."

I feel my cheeks turn red. Maybe she was right. Maybe I did need to rethink my theory.
