Look Into The Future

Party Down!

Rei looked at the envelope and flipped it over a couple of times. It didn't have any name on it. She didn't know whom it was from. All she knew that it was to her. She slowly began to open the anonymous letter. She unfolded the letter and began to read:

Rei-chan,

Hi there. It's been a long time since we have seen each other.

I've missed you dearly. I should be back in Japan soon. I will

stop by and see you. We have a lot to catch up on. Things here

have been great for me. I'm just so tired. I'm ready to

come home and be with my friends. I'm sorry that this is so short,

But I don't have a lot of free time on my hands. I will see you

shortly. Tell everyone I said hi.

Love Always,

Yuuchirou

Rei was very surprised to hear from him. It had been so long since she last heard from him. She had wondered time to time, whether he is doing okay. Now all she thought about, was when would he be back so that she can prepare for it. Shaking it off her mind for the moment, she had to get ready for Usagi's party. "For some reason I don't think it's very wise to invite boys. I wonder what's up her sleeve." She thought to her self, getting her clothes she wanted to take ready.

Usagi arrived home five minutes after five, after dropping Seiya off. She really didn't have far to drive; she had lived only two buildings down from him. Usagi's condo was pretty big. It consisted of three bedrooms and two bathrooms. A wonderful balcony covered with ancient greek-like designs just on the other side of the living room. She had large living room that held three large couches sitting in front of a very nice entertainment system. Not to mention the dark cherry coffee table and matching end tables. Her walls are covered with pictures of her and her friends. Some pictures have streams, and beautiful landscape scenes. To the right of the living room, was her nice cozy kitchen. The whole condo was decorated in pink and with a hint if blue. Makoto helped her decorate it.

There was a lot to do before her guest arrived. First she is taking a nice warm bath after that fight, she felt dirty. Walking into her condo, she slipped out of her shoes and put on some slippers, which she borrowed and had not returned to Minako. Then she walked through her bedroom to her bathroom. She walked to the bathtub and slightly bent down. She reached over and turned the faucet on, letting the water warm up while she slipped out of her work clothes exposing a petite figure. Once the tub filled up with warm water, she turned off the faucet and slowly stepped inside. Feeling the nice warmth on her cool body, Usagi felt an instant rush of relief swarm throughout her body. She sank in the nice steaming pool until nothing but her head was above the water. Closing her eyes, she thought to her self, "Ahh. This feels so good. So much to do with so little time to get it done" She said with a sigh, setting up a little. "I think I will start with the living room. I need to get some movies ready. Minako should bring some as well. I'm so nervous. I wonder if it's because he will be here." She thought to herself while she was washing her body. After a quick rinse she got out of the tub, grabbing the towel hanging on the wall next to tub. "I hope this was a good idea, by inviting the boys as well. I thought by having everyone together, they could get to know each other better and have fun. I bet Minako is excited about Yaten coming." She thought to herself while drying off and headed to her room to find something to wear.

Looking hard to find something to wear, Usagi rummaged through her closet. She looked at a white tan top that had USAGI written on it, in pink letters. She took it off the hanger and went to her dresser, pulling out the drawer with her shorts in it. She took out some undergarments and a pair of pink shorts. After putting it on, she slipped in to Minako's slippers and headed back to the bathroom to fix her hair. After fighting with her hair like a tug of war game. "All done. I had better get the movies ready. I only have thirty minutes left." She said out loud to herself, checking her clock that showed 5:31. Her anticipation was growing with every movement of the second head on the clock. There was a knock at the door that snapped her out of it. "Coming" she said, making her way to the front door.

"Oi Minako-chan. I'm glad you came early. I need some help. I'm so behind on getting things ready." Usagi said opening the door to let Minako in her condo.

"I thought you could use the help. Makoto is on her way with a lot of food." Said Minako thumbing through about ten movies on Usagi's entertainment system. Then she walked to one of Usagi's spare bedrooms put her bag of clothes in.

Yelling for Minako as she entered the kitchen, "Okay Minako-chan. I'll get the drinks ready. Please start setting up the living room for me. We'll need extra chairs for the guest."

Leaving the spare bedroom, Minako brought a few extra chairs to the living room. She grabbed two blue and pink pokey-dotted beanbag chairs that were in the spare bedroom across the hall from the bedroom she set her stuff in. She proceeded to the balcony to get a couple of the whicker chairs. There was another knock at the front door that made Minako jump. Minako told them to come in and it was Makoto. Minako was on her toes about getting to see Yaten. She missed him so much. Snapping out of her thoughts by hearing Makoto yell to Usagi, "Oi Usagi-chan, I've got the food." She brought a cart full of food dishes. Walking out of the kitchen to greet Makoto, her eyes fell on the cart. Her mouth began to water at the sight of all those yummy treats.

"Makoto-chan, thank you so much for bringing all those goodies. Bring them in here so we can get ready for the guest." Usagi said waving Makoto to the kitchen. She was hoping to get a few quick nibbles of it. But to her dismay Makoto watched her closely and slapped her hand many times. It wasn't long after they finished setting up the food platters that Rei and Ami showed up. They brought some games and music. Rei being a little excited brought some alcohol to celebrate Yuuchirou's coming home soon. She told the others about the letter and that it needs to be celebrated. The others just rolled their eyes at her. They didn't think it was wise since there were boys coming. Minako decided that there needed to be some music for their party. So she put on her favorite song. "C'est La Vie!" The song began to play from Usagi's entertainment center. Luna and Artemis rolled their eyes and left to go to Minako's, where it was quite.

Doushiyou mo nai shoudou ni tsukiugokasarete ima
Watashi no sore wa hajimatta kimi wo motomeru omoi

Minako began to sing along while setting up the living room.

Yotei chouwa no shousetsu ya eiga ga tsumaranai you ni
JINSEE mo sukoshi ZUREtara omoshiroi no kamoshirenai

They others eventually started singing as well, while doing the things that Usagi had asked them to do.

Atsui kimochi wa C'est la vie
Watashi ga watashi de iru kagiri
C'est la vie anata wo aishitsuzuketai
Me no mae ni aru kono shunkan ga ikiru basho
Kakenukete

Soon they all began to dance around the condo with each other, singing at the top of their lungs.

Hito wa naze ichido dake shika ikiru CHANSU ga nai no
Toki wa naze ichibyou sae mo tachidomaranai no darou

There suddenly was a knock at the door. Usagi danced to the door and stopped to open it. It was Caly and Reina. Usagi pulled them in and shut the door behind them and continued to sing and dance. Surprised, Caly and Reina looked at the others singing and dancing around. Then looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and joined in.

Omoigakenai dokoka ga ne
Kutsuzure wo okosu mitai ni
Tokidoki wa mune no dokoka ga setsunaku nattari suru kedo

Kitto mitsukaru C'est la vie
Watashi ga watashi de aru riyuu
C'est la vie anata ga anata de aru riyuu
Nani mo mienai dakedo nanika ga mitai kara
Oikakete

Not to long after Caly and Reina showed up, there was another knock on the door. Minako answered it. Nitsu and Karm made their way into the karaoke condo. Minako shut the door behind them. They sat on the couch and clapped along to the singing and dancing girls.

Yotei chouwa no shousetsu ya eiga ga tsumaranai you ni
JINSEE mo sukoshi ZUREtara omoshiroi no kamoshirenai

Soon after they arrived there was another knock at the door, which was answered by Rei. She waved Nalce and May in. She closed the door behind them and continued to dance with Ami. Nalce and May made their way to the couch. May would have joined in but she saw that Karm was already there and she was a little too shy to do it in front of him. Usagi would have none of that so she grabbed May's hands and brought May to her feet. Shaking May's arms around while she danced, trying to get May to dance along. May was so nervous, her face turned bright red. Usagi realized this and smiled, dancing away from May to Minako.

Atsui kimochi wa
C'est la vie watashi ga watashi de iru kagiri
C'est la vie anata wo aishitsuzuketai
C'est la vie watashi ga watashi de aru riyuu
C'est la vie anata ga anata de aru riyuu

Me no mae ni aru kono shunkan ga ikiru basho
Kakenukete
Kakenukete

When the song ended, Minako ran over to turn on another song. She was interrupted by another knock on the door. Usagi ran over to the front door while Minako continued to rummage through CDs. Usagi opened the door and there was Seiya and the other two lights. When her eyes met his, his heart began to race. He wanted to snatch her up right then and there and give her a passionate kiss. He restrained him self instead. "Odango, I heard some loud music blaring from the house. I suspected this is where the party is." Seiya said making his way into the condo, followed by Yaten and Taiki.

"Of course. This is it." She answered, shutting the door behind them. "I think we're all here now. Minako more music please." She said turning to where Minako was and noticed she already made her way to Yaten.

"Yaten, I've missed you so much. How have you been?" Minako said hugging Yaten.

Surprised by Minako's action, he quickly hugged her back and pushed her off of himself. "I've been okay. I really didn't want to come, but the others made me." He said with a sigh.

"Why not Yaten? It's going to be so much fun. We've already started." She said looking at him with a huge smile on her face, though she was hurt by what he said.

"Whatever. Let's get this over with." He said sitting down on one of the couches.

Usagi realized that the others didn't know everyone. So one by one she introduced each one of them to everyone. They all agreed not to use chan anymore, since they all knew each other. Once she was done she walk over to the entertainment system and looked through the CDs. "Perfect!" she said to her self, putting the CD in the CD player. "Okay guys, just one more then we can go eat." Usagi said smiling at everyone that was now sitting on her couches and some of the chairs. "Come on girls. You all know this one." Usagi said turning to Rei, Makoto, Ami, and Minako, motioning them to get up with her. They all got up but Ami and Makoto was a little reluctant about it, seeing that everyone was watching now. The song began to play and the five began to sing along to "KIRARI SEERAA DORIIMU" with fake microphones in their hands.

They repeated:

Once the performance ended, the onlookers clapped with joy. The five girls giggled and bowed. " Let's eat! I'm starving!" Usagi said abruptly as she made her way to the kitchen, which was followed by all the others. The meal was full of conversation. The old friends caught up, talking in code. The new friends asked The Three Lights a few questions about being celebrities. The Starlights questioned the new friends a little as well. Seiya noticed that Reina looked a lot like Usagi and Minako. He couldn't help but stare at her beauty. Yaten on the other hand was watching Caly. Minako noticed it right away, trying to keep conversation with him so his attention was on her not Caly. Usagi was oblivious of what was happening between Minako and Yaten. She was just so happy to have all her friends together with the exception of Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, and Hotaru. There would be a fight between the outers and the starlights if they had came. So she decided not to invite them. Promptly remembering about the dance, Minako secretly asked Yaten to come with her. She was very surprised when he told her that he wasn't sure and that he would let her know later. She wondered why he was being so weird. They finished their meals and deserts. Some pitched in to help with the dishes while the others went into the living room to watch a scary movie. Once they were done with the dishes, everyone was made their way into the living room.

Usagi wasn't sure about the movie because she hated scary movies. On the couch directly in front of the TV was sitting Seiya and Minako. The couch to the right held Makoto, Taiki and Ami. The couch on the left held May, Karm, and Caly. In one of the beanbag chairs sat Rei and in the other was Nalce. The beanbag chairs sat in front of the coffee table. Nitsu and Yaten sat in the whicker chairs, which sat on opposite sides of the middle couch.

Usagi made her way to the middle couch and sat by Seiya. The movie began to play once everyone was seated and situated. They were going to watch "Ju-On!" All Usagi knew that it was a scary movie but not the scariest one in Japan, nor did the others. Minako just got it from the video store because the clerk said it was the best scary movie ever made. Usagi didn't like it at all. She ducked her head several times and hid behind Seiya, while Minako ducked behind her. Seiya liked the fact that Usagi was so close to him. It made his heart flutter. Karm put his arm around May. She hid her face on his chest, which made him happy. Ami and Makoto used Taiki as a shield. When the monster was about to attack and everyone was in suspense, there was a knock at Usagi's door. All at once, every one jumped and screamed at the surprise knock. Usagi began to push Seiya to get up and answer it. Pressing back against her hands, he shook his head no. He was scared of what might be behind the door and he was going to have no part of it. Calling Seiya a wimp, Yaten got up and answered it. To everyone's surprise, it was Alup. Reina quickly questioned Usagi on why she invited him but Usagi shook her head no and said that she wasn't the one that invited him. No one knew who invited him. Reina was peeved that he had showed up. "Great! Now I'm really going to be messed with the whole time I'm here. It never ends." Reina thought to herself while giving a huge sigh.

Right off Alup had to make a smart-ass comment to Reina. " Reina-chan, are you not happy to see the great Alup." He said with a smirk, joining the group.

"If you must know. No I'm not!" She said crossing her arms.

Interrupting them, Usagi introduced Alup to the others and vise-versa. After Usagi finished, Yaten told them to quiet down so they could finish the movie. To Reina's dismay, Alup sat right next to her. She glared at him and told him not to touch her. He just smirked at her, knowing that he pissed her off by sitting next to her.

As the movie played on and there were screams here and there, Minako began to wonder why Yaten was being so stubborn. "Does he like Caly? What's with all the arrogance? I thought he liked me. He better go to the dance with me. Maybe if I flirted with someone, he would get jealous and say yes. That's it! I'll do that. It has to work!" Minako thought to herself while taking quick glances at Yaten.

While at the same time Yaten thought to himself, "I wish Minako wasn't so clingy. I like her so much but I wish she acted her age. Maybe that's why I like her. Well I think I will flirt with that Caly girl to make Minako jealous. I'm going to see how much she cares for me. I think it will be good for her."

Usagi thoughts were with someone that was elsewhere. She was wondering about Mamo-chan. " I wonder when he will be back. Since he hasn't answered me, I have no idea. I'm sure he would enjoy my party but I don't think he's a people person. He wouldn't like all the people. Thank you Seiya for showing up. I'm so happy. At least I know you're here for me even though my heart belongs to another. That love is fading fast though. If only he would answer my letters or phone calls and if Seiya wasn't so charming, I wouldn't be in this predicament." Usagi thought to herself, trying not to watch the movie and watching Seiya jump at scary parts.

Trying to watch the scary movie, Seiya would turn and smile at Usagi every so often. He made up his mind about not trying to tell her how he felt but he was going to try to win her over with his charm. Noticing Karm putting his arm around May, so with that cue he did the same with Usagi. Since Usagi was so lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice his arm around her. Slowly he pulled her closer. Knowing that she wasn't rejecting what he was doing, his heart began to race as his mind flooded with thoughts of her. "Odango, I love you. Though you're obvious of it, I will make you see. You will be mine in no time. Since Mamoru is not around, I will have a better chance." He thought to himself returning his gaze to the movie and jumping at a scary scene.

When the movie was over, Makoto suggested that they play a little twister. "The more the merrier." She told them, shoving all of them towards the dotted mat. After a tangled mess and some hearts stopping at how close they were next to the one they crushed on, the game ended with the winner being Minako! "I'm a master at this game." She told the others. The others just shook their heads in defeat.

"Let's play some poker." Rei suggested as she popped the lid off the Jack bottle.

Makoto seeing what Rei was doing, walked over to her and said, "Rei I don't think that you should do that. There are guys here."

"So what! There are plenty of people here to watch out for me." Rei snapped back.

"Whatever you think Rei." Said Makoto, walking to the table to join the others.

"Does any one want some Jack and coke?" Rei yelled to the table of people.

"Hai!" A few of them answered back which were Minako, Caly, Nitsu, Seiya, Yaten, Alup, and Reina. Rei talked Usagi into it as well. The poker game went on for a couple of hours and as the time past by the more intoxicated they got.

Yaten notice how much Minako was flirting with Nitsu. It ticked him off because that's what he was supposed to be doing to her. So he stepped it up a bit by inviting Caly to the dance. Though she already had a date she said yes anyways. A very jealous Minako heard this and asked Caly's original date Nitsu to go with her. At the same time they thought, "This is not going as planned."

Usagi stumbled over to the CD player to play some music. Everyone laughed at her when she tripped over the couch, falling on her face. Ami and Makoto scrambled over to her to help her up. Ami and Makoto helped Usagi and Minako to Usagi's bedroom with the help of Seiya, to put them to bed. Alup gave Reina a hard time all that night. He loved annoying her. That's what he was good at, plus he was getting a crush on her. He didn't want anyone to know that.

Once they finished playing poker Ami and Makoto went to bed in one of Usagi's spare bedrooms. The others made their way into the living room to watch more movies. This time Taiki and Yaten sat on the couch to the right of the middle one. May and Karm sat on the one to the left. Reina and Alup sat on the middle one at opposite ends. Nalce and Nitsu sat in the whicker chairs as Rei and Seiya sat on the beanbag chairs. They began to watch "The Water Boy." A little into the movie, Yaten and Taiki went to bed in Usagi's other spare bedroom. May fell asleep in Karm's arms as he leaned and fell asleep on the couch arm. Seiya ended up falling asleep with thoughts of Usagi running through his mind, which he began to dream about. Nitsu got on the couch that Taiki and Yaten was on and fell asleep. Nalce pushed Alup over so he could sleep on the arm of the couch. By the time the movie was over. Alup and Reina were asleep on one another, oblivious that they were. Rei was the last one awake so she turned off the TV and fell asleep her self.

In deep space somewhere, Andromedia was making a new plan. This time her victim has to be a good soul carrier or the King and Queen will have her head. Those stupid sailor scouts won't stop her this time.
