Chapter 4

Breakfast at the Crown

(Thursday)

In the morning Rei cheerily got up and jumped into the shower as she washed her hair her thoughts ran to Mina. She was so excited ' I'm going to see her soon she will be here tomorrow gosh I cant wait. She didn't seem to be mad at me still, maybe we can make up, I hope she not mad, gosh I'm so ecstatic I cant wait!!!'. After rinsing she turn the water off and steps out of the shower grabbing a towel and drying herself when she makes it to her room.

Rei quickly gets dressed and decides to call her other friends. Picking up the phone and dialing Ami's number. And then she waits, a few rings later she hears.

"Dr. Mizuno speaking" Ami answered with a tired voice obviously Rei's call having woke her up.

"Hey Ames it's Rei what are you up to this morning?"

"Sleeping what would you think?, wow Rei its good to hear from you what's going on?" Ami asks still with a tired voice.

"Well I just got into town yesterday and was wondering if you wanted to hang out get breakfast or something" Rei stated.

"Your in town great I have the morning off so sure we can meet up" "*Who's calling so early*" came a disgruntled voice in the back round.

"Who was that Ami??" 'oh my god' Rei thought "is Ami getting her naughty on?"

"Oh that's just Makoto, Its Rei" she say obviously the last part being for Makoto, 'Hu Makoto is there weird' thought Rei.

" Cool I was going to call her to see if she wants to join us. Ask her will you" Rei says.

"OK" Ami answers then Rei hears a slightly muffled conversation between the two other women through the phone. Ami obviously had her hand over the phone. "* babe Rei is in town and wants to know if you want to come to breakfast with us you can take the morning off cant you?*" Ami asked Makoto.

"*Sure sounds like fun*" Makoto answered. 'did I hear her right? Did Ami just call Makoto babe? No way must have heard wrong." Rei thought

"She said sure so what are you thinking the Crown in half an hour?" Ami inquired.

"sure sounds great see you in 30 minutes." Rei said as she closed her cell 'weird is something going on between Ami and Mako?' Rei thought as she finished getting ready for the day.

-------------------------------------------------------

Ami just hung up her phone and started to get dressed when Makoto's cell started to ring she just got up and put on her clothes ignoring the annoying song her girlfriend insisted on having as her ring tone. Makoto roused herself from the bed grinning at Ami's obvious annoyance at the screeching cell phone playing Katy Perry's "I kissed a girl".

"Makoto here" she answered.

"Hey Mako its Minako" Mina voice announced from the phone.

"Hey Mina what's up??" Makoto asked.

"Oh not much just wondering what you guys are up to over there, I'm gona be in town soon and wanted to see what your doing" Minako stated purposefully being vague so she could see if her assumption was correct if she knew Ami, Mako, and Rei they would get together sometime today to catch up and she wanted to surprise them without them knowing she would be in Tokyo in about 15 minutes.

"Oh someone finally got a hold of you? coming in this weekend for the senshi reunion hu I'm glad we really miss you around hear, yeah Rei just got here yesterday I guess, were heading out in bit to meet her at the Crown to play catch up" Makoto stated. 'I knew it they are so predictable, Arigato Mako' Minako thought smiling 'now she knew were they would be and when so she can make her grand surprise appearance.'

"Sounds like fun to bad I wont be there, but I better let you go knowing you your probably still in bed" Minako joked.

"You know me to well but yeah I do have to go Ami's glaring at me to get dressed"

"Ok ill talk to and see you soon bye Mako"

"Bye Mina" 'hu wonder what Ami is doing a Makoto's apartment so early strange.' Mina thought as her plane slowly descended towards Tokyo.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Rei was sitting at their usual table at the Crown waiting for the other two women to make an appearance. Looking through the menu she gets a strange happy feeling but quickly disregards it and contemplates a breakfast. 'Hu pancakes sounds good Mina loves pancakes' Rei thought 'Maybe an omelet' Rei had just decided on pancakes when Ami and Makoto entered the Crown and walked straight to there old booth seeing Rei already waiting.

"Hey Pyro long time no see" Makoto said teasingly. Upon hearing her voice Rei quickly stood up and hugged both girls tightly.

"Hey Sparky how have you been, Ames shit I missed you guys a lot" Rei told her two friends.

"Were doing fine and we missed you a lot to Rei" Ami said as her and Makoto slid inside the other side of the booth.

"God its been to long since I've been back you both look great" Rei stated looking at both her childhood friends. Ami was a shorter girl average height for Japan with beautiful short dark blue hair and light blue eyes the only difference in her from when they were in school was now she was wearing glasses all the time instead of just for reading. She was wearing a cute pair of white shorts and a tight blue t-shirt. Makoto was a tall girl not quite as tall as Haruka but still way above average, with long gorgeous, rich looking brown hair tied up in a constant pony tail to contain the curls, she has stunning dark green eyes that looked like they could see into your soul. The tall girl was wearing tight boot cut jeans and a deep forest green tank top.

"You're not looking so bad your self, so lets order then catch up." Makoto said in a slightly flirty way catching a small glare from Ami she quickly mentioned the ordering of breakfast. Giving her girlfriend a 'just kidding' apologetic look.

It was then that Rei got the intense happy feeling again except this time it was much stronger, but she just chucked it up to being happy to see her friends again and started to order her pancakes, Ami then ordered a coffee and muffin while Makoto decided on an Omelet. They had just started eating when Makoto said.

" So I cant wait till Mina gets here I wonder who finally got a hold of her" Makoto said in reference to their previous topic of the reunion.

"Actually I did, but I didn't even bother with the phone I had to use our senshi communicators she was actually really excited to hear about it she just finished up her newest album so she may be staying for like a month or so" Rei answered.

"That's great I cant wait to see everyone" Ami said enthusiastically.

"Wait she didn't even know about it we have been calling her like crazy so has Haruka and Michiru, her agent must not think its that important to not even bother telling her." Makoto said with an annoyed expression.

"Yes but remember Mako she is very busy, she's not just our friend Mina any more. Now she Minako Aino super star she has a lot of demands on her time." Ami said in Mina's defense.

"I know that Ames I'm not mad at her I'm mad at her stupid agent she didn't even tell her about it" Makoto retorted.

"That's true" said Rei with a little bit of suspicion. "So what have you guys heard about Usagi's wedding do you know when they are planning to have it and when their getting in town?" Rei continued changing the subject to a happier one. Ami answered.

"Well they have actually been planning it for a while when they found out Mamoru was graduating early they have been calling and setting up reservations for quite some time now, they will be here this weekend but after that I think we only have two weeks"

"What two weeks that's it jeez that was quick, Usagi must be getting impatient" Rei replied.

"Yeah probably" stated Makoto "oh yeah Usagi wanted us to tell you and Mina, if we ever got a hold of her, that we have to keep Wednesday of next week open to get fitted for our bridesmaids dresses." Rei was just about to answer when she felt that intense happy feeling again but this time she couldn't ignore it slowly she turned to look at the entrance of the Crown and her heart stopped when she saw her standing not to far from the door a huge childlike grin of her face wearing a bright orange tank top, tight jean shorts and cute designer sunglasses to hide most of her face.

"Mina" Rei whispered in a breathlessly her brain no longer working.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You know me to well but yeah I do have to go Ami's glaring at me to get dressed"

"Ok ill talk to and see you soon bye Mako"

"Bye Mina" 'hu wonder what Ami is doing a Makoto's apartment so early strange.' Minako thought as her plane slowly descended towards Tokyo.

Xslight recapX

Minako exited her jet and waited for her attendants to put her luggage into the back of her rented car. She thanked them and hopped in cursing John slightly for his choice of rentals he knew she hated convertibles especially flashy ones that got everyone's attention. As she started the engine of the bright yellow 2009 Mustang convertible she decided to call him just to say hi, tonight, at 3 in the morning as pay back and headed out.

Traffic was horrible on her way from the airport she was getting worried that she might miss the guys at the Crown but since she drove like a maniac she made it in plenty of time she threw on a large pair of sunglasses to hide her annoyingly popular face and exited her stupid flashy car and walked in to the crown. ' Shit I'm so excited to see Rei I think I might pass out' Minako thought as she opened the door took a few steps and stopped, looking at her friends in there normal booth just like in high school, she had not seen them in years a huge grin crept up on her face as she looked at Rei in her tight black shorts and extremely sexy red halter top. 'Rei' she thought with a sigh Just then Rei stopped talking getting a slightly confused look on her face and turned to look at her as if she knew she was there already, the confused look quickly turned to a dazed look and she said one word that sent Minako's heart thumping at an alarmingly quick tempo.

"Mina" was all she heard she quickly shook herself out of her lust educed stupor and ran to hug Rei with all her might.

Rei quickly leaped from the booth to meet Mina half way and hugged her tightly.

"surprise" she whispered by Rei's ear sending shivers down the dark haired girls spine. They stood embracing each other for a while when Makoto's voice broke into their own little world.

"Jeez Rei excited much how come we didn't get such an enthusiastic hello." Makoto teased as her and Ami walked over to greet Minako. Rei blushed profusely and replied.

"She surprised me I knew you guys were coming"

"Right.." Makoto said in a sarcastic tone with a knowing smile. Rei just ignored her and turned to Minako.

"How did you get here so early I just talked to you last night I thought you wouldn't be here to tomorrow night at the least."

"Well after I got off the "phone" with you I called my travel agent and he said my jet was finally fixed so I could leave immediately if I wanted and my pilot was so bored, not having anything to do for months that he was way to eager to get back to flying." Minako answered.

"You have your own jet!!!!" Makoto interrupted the other girls from commenting.

"uh yeah doesn't everybody" Minako said in a teasing voice. As they walked back to the booth everyone taking their previous seat with Minako sitting closely by Rei. 'God she's so beautiful' Rei thought as they finally took their seats. Rei couldn't help but smile she was so happy she had missed the blond girl so much while they had been 'fighting' so to speak it was great to finally see her again. But soon she frowned as she noticed Mina eating her breakfast.

"Hey Mina that's mine ya know you could at least share" Rei complained.

"Sorry Rei you know how much I love pancakes here want a bite" as she said this Minako's hand with the fork and some pancake came up towards her mouth which to Rei wasn't that big of deal but Mina's other hand placed on her leg while she leaned in to feed her was about to send her into cardiac arrest

"Uhm sure" Rei said nervously as she took the pancake off the fork with her mouth, then looking into Minako's eyes as she swallowed the sweet bite.

Makoto and Ami exchanged a knowing smile at the obvious display of desire running between their two friends. 'Shit she's hot!' Mina thought as she looked into Rei's intense violet eyes. They stayed that way until they heard Ami discreetly clear her throat. They turned to see Ami with a slight blush on her face and Makoto fighting really hard to control her laughter, failing miserably she said between giggles.

"Jeez guys get a room" Both the Idol and miko blushed furiously at this comment and ignored Makoto altogether the four girls talked for another hour before Ami and Makoto had to leave and get ready for work. They all paid their bill and left the Crown saying good bye to the two girls. Rei started to walk back towards the temple when Minako said.

"Hey Rei I have a rental car you don't have to walk I'll give you a ride I'm going to the temple anyway roomie" Minako said while grasping Rei's hand, sending tingles through her body with the touch, and pulling her toward the obnoxiously bright mustang.

"This is your car?" Rei asked a little in wonder.

"Yeah John likes to tease me since he knows I hate flashy cars and convertibles." Mina announced a little embarrassed.

"Who's John" Rei asked trying not to sound jealous.

"Oh he's my friend in L.A. we work together but we hit it off right away we have a lot in common" Minako said not realizing the way that sounded to Rei. They got into the car and Minako started the short drive to the temple.

"oh he sounds nice" Rei said in a slightly hurt tone that Mina was oblivious of.

"Yeah he's great, he's actually never been to Japan so I think I might fly him out here for a visit while I'm here he has some time off work soon he will probably enjoy the trip, I've also been teaching him Japanese for the past 3 and a half years so he needs to practice with someone other then me anyway. Would it be ok if he stayed at the temple with us?" Mina asked not realizing that she was making it seem as if her and John were together when really they were just best friends almost like brother and sister, even if one of them felt that way about the other it wouldn't work out since they both tended to swing the other way so to speak.

"Um yeah sure but we only have the one extra room" Rei said forcing herself to sound happy.

"That's ok Rei I was planning on staying with you in your room anyway it so much bigger then the guest room just like old times" Minako said with a giggle.

"Yeah like old times" Rei said with a slightly happier tone. ' damn she must really like this guy to fly him all the way from L.A.' Rei thought a little depressed at the thought, as they pulled up to the temple grabbing Mina's bags and attempting to heft them up the annoyingly long temple steps.

A/N A little longer chapter then the others. Just so you guys know that happy feeling Rei was getting in the Crown was her sensing Minako getting close, then her landing, then obviously her entering the restaurant. I also like making Makoto kind of a teaser especially to Mina and Rei
