Ami didn't say a word on the way back to her apartment. Mina kept a running up commentary about what she should do next to get Zoicite's attention. Rei was saying that she already had Zoicite's attention, and Lita was too wrapped up thinking of what names she should give the flowers Nephrite gave her. Bunny was thinking if Darien would like a book as much as Zoicite did. When they got to Ami's apartment, Mina ran into Ami's room. She came out with a pile of clothes.
"Mina! What are you doing with my clothes?"asked Ami.
Mina began to inspect them.
"We're going to adjust them."
"But they fit perfectly!"
"Not anymore they don't. Most of the skirts are a little too long."
"What?!"
"But Ami only wears a mini skirt as Sailor Mercury."said Rei.
"That's about to change."she said. "If Zoicite sees her in this, he'll really notice her!"
"But, Mina, I don't want him to notice me!"
Mina looked at her as though she were insane.
"Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind? Zoicite is your one chance."
"But I'm not interested in him."
"Ami, you're insane!"
Mina grabbed a pair of scissors, and began to trim the skirts. Ami watched in horror.
"What are you doing? We'll have to get you a date with him!"
"What about a date for you with Kunzite."interrupted Rei.
"But we already went out! Speaking of which, I must get back to my apartment soon, because he'll be calling. Or he better! Or else!"she said, putting her hands on her hips.
Rei rolled her eyes. Lita took the skirt from Mina.
"Well, instead of wasting time on Ami, if she's not interested, why don't you help me? Nephrite doesn't seem too interested in me."she sighed. "Maybe some of the things you're telling Ami might work for me."
Mina smiled. Matchmaking was a specialty of hers, and something she enjoyed thoroughly.
"Well, I do believe that Nephrite is the perfect guy for you, Lita!"she said. "However, obviously Ami does need my help more than you do. Ami's in a desperate position."
"But I'm even more desperate!"she pointed towards the large pile of gifts from Zoicite. "I haven't gotten a single thing!"she yelled out.
Mina thought for a while.
"You're right. I'll give both you and Ami lessons. Or maybe we can do a triple date. Me and Kunzite, you and Nephrite, and Ami and Zoicite."she said.
"What about me and Darien?"demanded Bunny.
"Count me out."said Ami.
"No you don't, Ami!"said Mina. "You're definitely coming! No backing down on me! And I'll keeping an eye on you!"
Lita smiled. After all, couples that Mina put together always seemed to work out, as if they were predestined, and if Mina said Nephrite was perfect for her, things were bound to work out. She sighed. It would be more romantic to go out with him alone, but in this, Mina knew best, after all.
"We should actually do a special dinner at my apartment!"she suggested. "I'll cook something extra special!"
"Wonderful! Now I just have to invite Kunzite over, and tell him to bring them! And I know just how to do it!"
"I should buy a new dress."said Lita thoughtfully.
"Ah! The mall! Our next stop!"Mina pulled out her purse. "What are we waiting for?"
"But, Mina you already have a new dress!"said Ami.
"I can't wear the same thing, obviously!"
"You're all crazy!"said Rei. "I'm going to the temple."she got up, and started to walk out. "It looks like I'm the only one with any common sense among us!"
"You're just jealous."said Bunny.
"As if!"said Rei, watching as they all got their things ready, and Mina got Ami's purse, and almost dragged her.
