Rei frowned as she watched Usagi rush out of the jinja. "Could she be any ruder?"

"What do you mean, Rei-chan?" Ami asked.

"We threw this great surprise party for her, but all she does is mope while she's here and then rush out."

Makoto shrugged. "She wants to make up with Mamoru-san."

"If she wouldn't have slapped him, she wouldn't have to apologize," Rei fumed. "And even so, she didn't have to ditch us. She could always talk to Mamoru-san later."

"You sound almost jealous, Rei-chan."

"Of what?"

Minako grinned.

Rei rolled her eyes. Her gaze fell on the set of manga on her dresser wrapped with a bright pink bow. "So, who's hungry?" she asked, reaching for the cake Makoto had made. It was Usagi's favorite kind.
