AN: So it's been a while, but here's chapter five! Hope you guys enjoy!

"So Green eyes wanted to buy Sere a drink, and she declined because of her food? And now he bought you drinks? Plus his friend was just eye fucked by Mako?"

Rei finished her summary, looking like this was just an ordinary occurrence to them.

"Really though, if anyone here is getting eye fucked it should be Green eyes… but don't you usually leave me the blonde ones Sere?"

Minako looked at Serenity expectantly, while Rei and Mako were still figuring out the guys. Ami turned her attention to Serenity, waiting for her answer.

"Well I mean he looks cute, like yeah… but you're right. I don't know, his hair, the more I look at it, the more I want it to be black…"

"Oh so like Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome over there?"

Minako gestured to the club entrance, and sure enough a man with obsidian hair was walking in. He seemed to stand out, he seemed to have the stride of a lion, though Serenity couldn't help but knit her eyebrows in response to his dark black sunglasses.

He seemed to be looking for a table and for a split second Serenity felt his eyes on her, but she dismissed the thought, as he began to wave at a different table.

The girls were watching him, each thinking the same thing: He's making his way to the table with the guys!

Sure enough he sat down next to the infamous Green eyes. They had a drink already ordered for him, and he seemed to be listening more than talking. Abruptly, he stood up, and looked towards the table with the girls. He gave no sign that he knew he was being watched, and as soon as he put some money down, Green eyes followed him out the door.

An hour later, Minako and Serenity were dancing. They were playing one of Ami's favorite songs, "Hello" but as soon as that was over, she had sat down. Minako and Sere didn't care that the next song that was playing was "I'm Different", they stayed and laughed, singing along to their favorite part, " hair long, money long, me and broke b*tches we don't get along"

The rest of the night had been rather uneventful for them. It was getting close to 1am when Makoto came back from dancing with the guy she had meet.

After what Minako had called "the hottie evacuation" occurred, the girls had gone to the restroom, and only Mako and Minako had stayed at the table. The guys at the table seemed to risk this chance and approached them, now that there were only two left. They introduced themselves, the blonde one was named Julian and Mako's mystery man was named Nolan. They told the girls how their two friends had ditched them and shared a few laughs at how they were getting too old to stay out.

Mako was having an easier time talking to Julian, he insisted they call him Jules. Minako was trying to get Nolan and Mako to talk, but Mako seemed to be very nervous. It was odd to Minako, she had seen her talk to so many hot guys before, it never occurred to her that her friend could be shy. At the end Minako knew drastic measures needed to be taken so she decided she'd take one for the team. She asked Julian to dance with her, luckily the song wasn't horrible. Minako figured now they'd definitely need to start talking or else nothing would happen all night.

Julian seemed please that Minako had asked him to dance, but she didn't want to lead him on. She was always direct about these things, she flirted and played along with the ones she wanted, but if there was absolutely no interest from her part, she made sure to say so.

"Hey so just so you know, I'm one hundred percent only doing this for my friend…"

Julian laughed, " I know, it was getting hard for me to keep talking to her, I thought Nolan was going to punch me. He really wanted to talk to her. Are you sure she's fine with him?"

"Trust me she's good. She just needed a kick in the right connection."

Jules scrunched his face, "Direction?"

"Directions, connections… It's all for the same arrangement.."

The two were dancing for a few minutes before they saw their friends finally approach the dance floor, at which point Minako insisted on buying Julian a drink.

"Just cause you weren't the horrible person I was expecting to deal with"

"I'll take that as a compliment."

They both walked to the girls table were they invited him to sit. Sere dragged Minako back to the dance floor, not caring that she had just gotten back.

"Ami I just had a sip of that gin and tonic, be a hero and finish that for me"

Minako winked at her, and to everyone's surprise, she picked it up.

"Got a letter from the paternal figure" was all she said before she chugged it and followed the blondes onto the dance floor.

Rei was left stunned and though she wouldn't admit it, speechless. She then refocused her attention to Julian who was texting away.

"So who are you…?

Saturday morning all the girls woke up at Minako's house.

Makoto was in the kitchen, prepping for a crepe breakfast while Rei was sipping a cup of coffee. Of course Serena and Minako were still asleep. They had gotten back home after three am, since someone had to stop and eat hot dogs before going home. They usually did get something to eat, since they had discovered early on that a late-late night snack prevented hangovers.

Ami walked in, fresh from the gym. She noticed the two missing airheads and went to wake them up.

Minako's house was usually bustling with her father and mother, who were constantly on the telephone. It was always so quiet without them, the girls appreciated their absence. They were always questioning their grades and what Ivy League they were hoping to get into. Minako's grandfather was on the board of directors at Brown, so she was pretty much set after she graduated. The only one who knew where she was going was Ami, everyone knew she was headed for Harvard. It helped that her mother was an alumni, and even though they weren't on the best terms, her father had relatives on the board of director. Rei and Makoto were still undecided and as for Usagi, she figured she'd find out later.

It was almost noon when they had all finished eating, thankfully Ami had some control over the late sleepers and was able to get them out of bed before ten. After they ate only Makoto stayed behind, she was cleaning in the kitchen when Minako plopped down on a bar stool across from the kitchen counter.

"You know they left you off the hook easy right?'

Mako knew the inquisition was going to begin, "Yeah I guess because they saw him take off in a rush, so we didn't actually do anything…"

"I'll take that, but how was it? I left in such a rush to dance with Jules, he was kinda cute huh? Too bad he's not really my type…"

"Minako, did you leave me with Nolan on purpose?"

"Well not technically or completely on purpose… I mean I took one for the team?"

Mako looked a little peeved with that answer, "didn't you see how awkward I was being? I couldn't even talk to him when you guys were there!"

"I know I know, but that's why I figured I should get out of there. You were kind of giving more attention to Jules and had you said he was the one you were into, I would have left with Nolan, but you were completely engrossed with him since you saw him at his table

"Well yeah but you have no idea how flustered I was, it was really awkward when you left, I mean I had only said hello to him, I wasn't even sure he wanted to talk to me"

"But he did right?"

"I mean, after like a whole minute of silence he asked me about school, I almost told him we were all still in high school. Thankfully he asked me to dance and then I could relax a little."

"Mako, are you shy?"

Whatever Makoto was expecting, it definitely was not that.

"Well of course not, you've seen me talk to loads of guys before"

"I guess, but usually or rather, you kind of always freeze up when you're really interested in them…"

"Of course not! God, not everyone can just bounce into a conversation and flip their hair and two seconds later they've got someone at their feet!"

"Mako…"

"Is that what you want to hear? How I'm incredibly awkward and useless when it comes to flirting?"

"Mako that's not-…"

Makoto ran to Minako, crushing herself into her arms. Minako just held her, stroking her hair while she cried..

Makoto was sobbing quietly, "Ssorry.. I just.. I.. I'm sorry."

"Shhh. It's okay, let it all out"

"I just can't figure out how you can just put yourself out there, you look so fearless. I can't do that"

"Mako sweetie, I'm not like that at all.. Sure I can walk up to some random chump and have my way with him, but that's exactly it. There's never a deeper meaning. You know how many times I've wished I could have a heart as gentle and caring as yours? I see how you can love someone, and I'm the one who knows I could never do that, you're out there with your heart on your sleeve and I'm not like that,"

"No of course not, you're wrong, you show us all the time your caring side"

"Sure to you guys, but the point is Mako, you shouldn't compare yourself to anyone, you're in a league of your own, and don't you ever forget that"

They were both still, Makoto shifted and engulfed Minako in a bear hug, she smiled brightly at Mako who looked infinitely better and as Minako buried herself in Makoto's shoulder she couldn't help but feel bitter, and in the blink of an eye she squashed those feelings and put on her best smile for Makoto.

Im still not sure where this is exactly going, but I reread it today and i think I've got my inspo back!

Thanks for reading, reviews are immensely appreciated ~~~
