Chapter Eleven:
We had finally arrived at where the competition was, it had taken 2 hours and I was stuck beside Emily the whole way. She had gone on and on about me missing rehearsals. We got off the bus, I sighed in relief.
"Rei?" Lita asked.
"I hate you." I glared at her. She apologized to me the whole way in, I was so looking forward to finding the others.
"Rei, please talk to me."
I ignored her and kept on walking, I whipped out my phone and called Ami.
"Hello?" she picked up after the second ring.
"I am never talking to Lita again!" I huffed. I heard all this laughter in the background causing me some confusion, then I heard the phone being passed to someone else.
"Understand my pain?" came the deep voice. I sighed, he was so right.
"Yes, ok? I was stuck with her highness for over two hours!"
"Ouch."
"Tell me about it. 'Rei, you missed so much of the play. Rei you may be cut. Rei you should think about quitting again. Rei, Rei, Rei' it was tiring." I finished my mocking of Emily.
"Where are you now?"
"Nowhere near Lita but I am near some shop." I said looking into the small shop. It had toys and t-shirts, I walked in with my backpack and luggage and looked at the stuff.
"I will come and find you. I know where you are."
"II bet you do." I replied smiling and hung up.
I looked at one of the shirts and smiled when I saw a cartoon version of the guys on there. Kai was smiling on the shirt which made me giggle. I took a picture on my phone and walked up to the counter, grabbing a hat. After paying for it I put the thing on and waited outside for my rescue which took a matter of ten minutes.
"Hey, you still grumpy?" Kai walked up to me, taking my luggage in the suitcase.
"No. well yes after Emily." I smiled.
I followed him, avoiding bumping into people on our way to the room. We got there, he opened the door and waited for me to go past, I was surprised to see it empty.
"Who is crashing in here?" I asked.
"The girls." He answered.
"Oh ok, where are you guys staying?" I asked.
"The room next door and the on next to that. We got three rooms."
"Ok, you crashing with Tyson?" I asked. Kai turned to me all confused.
"Yes, why?" he asked.
"Hear he snores." I shrugged. He relaxed a little. I dumped my stuff and followed him to the room where the other guys were staying. Mina launched herself at me, we both fell with Serena jumping on top yelling, pile up. Hilary joined in, the four of us laughing. Ami was ushering them off of me, she helped me up.
"Hey Ami, lighten up." I teased. The girls looked at me with utter shock, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Did she just say 'lighten up?'" Mina whispered to Serena.
"Yes." Serena squeaked.
"I do know how to have fun." I rolled my eyes.
"I guess you do, how about we go and unpack our stuff?" Ami suggested.
"Fun police." I whispered to Mina, she cracked up laughing as did i. everyone looked at us two.
"What?" Hilary asked.
"Nothing we better go." Mina answered and giggled to me. We both walked out and straight to our room.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
The five of us girls decided to go and get Lita and have a girl's night. Hilary was super excited to hang with us, she and Serena were nonstop whispering about something. Ami and I had started to talk about school work, Mina grumbled about Lita hurrying up to save her. Lita rocked up and gave me some flowers, I laughed and smiled at her.
"What are these for?"
"Making you put up with Emily. I should have sat beside you, we would have fun."
"And?" I prompted.
"I will buy you a T-shirt."
"Deal, Lita how have you been?" I said.
"Yeah good. Think you guys have room for me in your room?"
"We always have room for you! We can bunk." Mina smiled.
"Sure."
The six of us walked down the hall, this place was massive, bigger than any shopping malls I have ever seen. We walked down another hall which didn't have anyone down it. Shrugging we kept going and somehow made it outside, there was some kind of light and a scream, turning I saw Hilary's heart crystal leaving her body. She fell to the ground in a heap, her eyes closed. The five of us pulled out our transformation wands and transformed into the Sailor Scouts.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
The battle didn't last long, they had sent some pathetic monster this time around. We put Hilary's heart crystal back into her body. Lita carried her back to the room. Placing her on the bed, we waited for her to come to. When she did, she started to freak out.
"What happened?" she asked.
"You're ok." Lita soothed.
"What happened?" she asked again, taking a deep breath.
"You were knocked out." I answered.
"How?"
"A ball." Mina interjected quickly, she was always good for covering.
"Oh, my chest hurts." Hilary rubbed her heart, I felt really bad, I knew how that felt.
"I bet." Mina grumbled, I sent her a dark glare and she smiled.
Serena changed the subject and we put a movie on, changing into our Pjs. I sat between Ami and Hilary.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
We woke up to our phone ringing, I kicked Hilary who was closest.
"Pick it up." I grumbled.
"Serena." Hilary kicked our Princess, I smiled. I did like this girl.
"Hello?" Mina sang. We all groaned at her chirpy attitude.
"No one but me is awake…..the first match starts in an hour?...Ok I will do that…yeah that too…..No red, go die!" she hung up, I cracked an eye open. I saw her smiling face. Not good.
"This is from….." she trailed off and shoved me out of the bed. I landed with a thud.
"Ouch." I complained.
She turned and did the same thing to Hilary. Lita got up before it could happen to her.
"Did Tyson tell you to do that?" Hilary grumbled darkly.
"Yep." Mina confirmed.
"Why me?"
"He told me to do it to everyone." She shrugged.
"He will pay!" I muttered darkly.
We showered and changed, I had gotten the second shower and made it quick to everyone could have hot water. Then ii remembered we were staying at some fancy place they would have loads of hot water. We walked out to the stadium, Hilary asked who wanted to sit down on the team bench.
Lita had ran off to Michael, Ami was sitting beside Kenny. I shrugged and offered to stay in the stands.
"Are you sure Rei?" Serena asked.
"Yeah I mean if the heart snatchers come, I can quickly leave and transform."
"Oh yeah, I will sit with you." I nodded. Mina got a dark look all of a sudden.
Mina sat with Ami, who looked a little worried. Serena and I took some empty chairs that weren't far from the stadium. My phone chimed.
Not going to sit with us? –Kai.
I looked down to where he was, he was facing the opposite way, and rolling my eyes I tapped a response.
I found a friend.
I replied ad turned to the guy sitting beside me, he was a big guy with heaps of food. He smiled at me.
"Have you ever seen something as cool as this?"
"Nope."
"I'm Peter."
"I'm Rei." I shook his hand and then introduced him to Serena, my phone chimed again.
Seems nice.-Kai
He is.
I responded straight away, the competition started, I watched and looked around every so often, surprisingly, so did Serena. The day dragged a little, we stayed and watched other teams face off because they needed data on them. I thought it was cheating but apparently everyone did it.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
The night I had spent talking to Mina who complained that she didn't have a pure heart. I reassured her that she had one but she didn't believe me. I told the other girls and we kept an eye on her. The next day passed quickly, the guys won all their matches with ease and stayed and watched the other again. The next day came and I was getting really worried about Mina. I followed her around, spying on her. I felt bad but I had to make sure she was ok. She was playing some video game and I slid into a booth and watched her casually. Someone slipped in the other side and I looked at them with a raised brow.
"Enjoying the food?" Kai teased.
I glared at him.
"Yes." I replied.
"Rei? What are you doing here?" Mina suddenly appeared. I froze and then looked at Kai.
"Having dinner with Kai."
"What?" they both asked. I kicked Kai who cleared his throat.
"Ah yes, dinner. You owe me."
"Yeah I owe him." I said after.
"Is this a date?" Mina asked, wriggling her eyebrows. I wanted to face palm, I turned back to Kai who shrugged, clearly enjoying me struggle.
"….maybe?" I offered.
She smiled and skipped off, satisfied. I turned my glare on Kai.
"Your no help!" he put his hands up in mock defence.
"What was I meant to say?" he asked.
"Something! Men!" I muttered. The waitress rocked up and ogled Kai. I glared at her, in no mood for this.
"I'm on a date." Kai said, pointing at me. I fell out the chair and then jumped up plating a fake smile.
"Yes. Sure. Date." I said through gritted teeth.
