Minako started at the plate. Rei looked at her with a raised eyebrow. For the past hour Minako had been staring at a plate of rice. "Are you going to eat it or stare at it all day?" Rei asked after a while.

Minako looked up from the plate of rice and over at Rei. "I'm going to eat it." She told Rei as she got a fork. "I'm just trying to remember how to use this thing."

Rei chuckled as she watched Minako try to use a fork. She was supposed to visit friends in England and needed to practice using a fork. As she tried the rice would just fall back onto the plate. Determined she tried again. This time a wad of rice went flying and hit Rei in the face.

Rei frowned as she wiped the rice off her face with a towel. "Okay, I think practice is over." Rei told Minako as she took the fork from her.
