The next morning everyone got up and went to breakfast. They ate in the same place they ate dinner at only there's only stage shows between the hours of 5:00-9:00. When they finished their meals everyone went on a boat tour that they had along the water. They had seen many different types of fish and birds and learned more about the forest that the resort was by. They also learned about a legend in the forest. It's said that over a thousand years ago, there was a powerful man who seek to rule as much land as he could. As time progressed, and his kingdom became stronger, he the sought out to overpower a kingdom that once was settled on the moon. But it is said that the moon goddess won in a great battle against him and sealed him beneath the soil for his cruelty. It is also said that he sleeps beneath the ground, waiting to rise again one day, in seek of his revenge. His name, was Kuro Shinzō (black heart). At least, that was what everyone called him because of his brutality. Nobody remembers his real name nor his past, but they do remember him for his destruction.

"That was the supposed legend that lies beyond those trees." Said the tour guide. Everyone was fascinated by the story but not frightened because they knew it was myth of course (or was it?).

When they got done the tour and off the boat everyone went their separate ways to have fun. Rei and Makoto went to go play volleyball, Ami went to see they library they had, Usagi dragged Mamoru to the theatre they had, and Minako went to flirt with the desk clerk.

Minako snuck over to the desk where the handsome clerk was sorting mail. "Hello!" Minako said in a cute voice and popping her head up.

"Oh hello!" The desk clerk said. "May I help you?"

"Oh…well you see. All my friends were busy and I was just walking by and thought I'd say hi."

"How kind! It's not every day I get to talk to a cute girl during my work hours."

Minako giggled. "So what's your girlfriend like?" She asked twirling her hair around her finger.

"Oh, I don't have a girlfriend."

"No? Aww, well that's sad."

"I don't think so."

"And why's that?"

"Because if I wasn't single I wouldn't be able to ask a pretty girl like you out for lunch."

Minako giggled more and blushed. "Is that an offer?"

"It is."

"Then I accept."

"Wonderful, my break starts now anyway." He smiled. She smiled back as he took her hand and they walked to the elevator. When the doors close, Minako was confused when the desk clerk pushed the penthouse button where the boss stays.

"Why are we going there?" She asked. Just the he threw a cloth with chloroform over her mouth. She screamed and squirmed then fell, get passed out.

"You'll see why." The desk clerk said.

Usagi and Mamoru went to the pool where they found Rei and Makoto. There was a bar and they all had smoothies and a small lunch. Usagi ate her so fast it was insightful. Rei jokingly threatened to push her into the pool if she didn't stop acting like a pig and she cowered behind Makoto.

"Say…where's Minako, and usage stop clinging to me like that!"

"Eh? But Rei-Chan's being a meanie!"

"I think she said she was going to check things out at the main building but we all know she went to flirt with that cute desk clerk. Usagi, you're embarrassing us. Knock it off before I push you in."

"Rei-Chan, you're so cruel!" Usagi said whining.

"Huh? She's already making her first move behind my back? That's it! As soon as I'm finished here I'm heading back to the cabin." Makoto said upset because she told Minako she liked him too and the two agreed they'd play fair.

"To do what?" Rei asked.

"To get dressed of course!"

"Oh Makoto!"

After they had lunch Makoto rushed back, took a shower, and changed into something cute. She noticed Minako's things missing but guessed she finally put all her things away. She wondered where all her suitcases were but was too worried on impressing that boy. She went to the main building where she seen the cute desk clerk still on duty. She Minako wasn't around and assumed he rejected her. She chuckled to herself and went over to him to say hi but he gave the first greeting.

"Oh hey, I'm so glad to see you! Your friend left you a letter." He said handing her a folded typed piece of paper.

"A…letter?" Makoto opened it up and read it.

Dear everyone,

I'm sorry to say that I recently have been feeling homesick and wish to go home.

I couldn't stand to be away for another moment.

By the time you read this I would have already catch the next train home.

Sorry to have everything be so sudden like this.

I hope you all have a great vacation.

Sincerely yours, Minako.

"What?" Makoto got worried and hurried back to the pool where everyone else was. She told them about the letter and everyone quickly got their towels and hurried back to the cabins. They looked through drawers and closets for Minako's things but it was all gone. Even her bed was made up.

"She wouldn't have just left like that. I think there's something up." Rei said.

"Well he did say that she looked sad and wanted to be alone. Maybe she really was homesick and just wanted to go home." Makoto said

"Maybe. But I'm calling her tonight just to make sure of it."

Everyone was concerned about her and hoped and prayed she was safe and sound.

"Minako, wherever you are, be safe!" Usagi said with a worried look.
