Chapter 31
Bull Shit!!
The group squeezed into Minako's mustang and got settled for the ride to the church. Mina was walking towards the drivers seat when Rei realized she hadn't bought any Dramamine yet and said.
"Hey babe can I drive" Mina looked at Rei skeptically but nodded throwing her the keys.
"You don't like my driving do you?" Minako asked as she got into the passenger seat. Rei smiled and said.
"Truthfully no, I don't really, you drive like your on fire, I swear your as bad as Haruka. I cant believe Michiru has put up with that for so long" Minako smiled and then acted insulted.
"She puts up with it because she trusts Ruka, she knows she would never hurt her" Rei smiled and said as she started the car and pulled onto the road.
"Baby I trust you with my life, I just don't trust all the other drivers who are trying to get out of your way" Minako smiled and stated.
"well at least I don't drive like a grandma" Now it was Rei's turn to act insulted.
"I do not drive like a grandma" Colin decided to interject.
"Well you kinda do Rei, your all slow and precise"
"No comments from you Colin" Rei said.
"Hey be nice to your guest, anyway you only want him to shut up because he is agreeing with me" Rei laughed.
"Well at least we get were we are going and no one dies or throws up" Rei said as she pulled into the church parking lot. Minako laughed and said.
"Oh come on Rei I haven't hit anybody in years, you run over someone once and its never forgotten, I mean really Makoto was fine Ami had her patched up and healthy before we even got to the hospital" Rei laughed back and said
"yes, If I recall correctly Makoto was fine, it was me who ended up in the hospital with a concussion and a few bruised ribs. Right?" Mina rolled her eyes as her and the group got out of the car and began walking towards the entrance of the church.
"You were fine Rei, you only had to stay in the hospital over night and I stayed to keep you company remember?"
"Yes I remember you kept me up all night talking and when the doctors told you I needed to rest you fell asleep and kept me up the rest of the night with your snoring" Mina punched the dark haired miko's arm playfully as they entered the church and said.
"I do not snore" Rei leaned in and said with a sly smile.
"You don't snore anymore" Mina blushed at Rei's insinuation. Colin grinned and said.
"That's hot, I'm trying to get a mental picture" Colin's words were cut off when Rei smacked him in the head again. When the group walked in Usagi walked right up to them with a scowl.
"Your late again, Rei this is crazy your never late, Mina must be rubbing up on you" many members of the group stifled laughter, a lot of their faces getting really red in the process. Rei sighed and put her hand to her forehead.
"The term is "rubbing off on you" Usagi not rubbing up on you that sounds really perverted, gosh your beginning to sound like Mina getting these simple sayings wrong like she always does" Colin just grinned and said.
"Ah another good mental picture" Rei naturally reached over and hit him.
"Owww Rei come on that's like four in the last thirty minutes" Usagi looked at Colin questioningly. He smiled and reached out his hand.
"Hi, I'm Colin Gallagher I'm Rei's fiancé" Usagi immediately burst into non stop talking.
"Oh my gosh Rei your engaged how come you never told us, this is so cool maybe you'll be the next to get married, well its either you or John and Setsuna the others cant really get married legally" Rei put her hands in the air and said.
"First off id like to do something" Usagi looked at her as Rei once again smacked Colin over the head. "Second off we are not engaged, anymore, so stop telling people we are" Rei then turned to Usagi and said. "This is my friend Colin from New York he is also my ex and don't believe a word he says he likes to spread little tales and cause trouble." Colin pouted and said.
"Rei your mean" Rei raised one of her dark brows and said.
"I'm mean because I wont marry you?" Colin stood and thought about it for a while.
"Yes you are mean cuz you wont marry me, or let me have delicious mental pictures about you and Minako" Rei and Mina both blushed tremendously. Youchiro rolled his eyes and lead Naru towards the main hall. Usagi laughed and took Colin's hand to shake.
"Its nice to meet you Colin, I'm Usagi"
"Ah yes you're the princess right" Usagi looked confused for a second then realized what Colin must be talking about.
"Well if you want to get technical we are all princess's of our own planets except John and Mamoru who are obviously prince's" Usagi then turned to Rei and said.
"Rei you need to come with me and choose a new color for your sash, the color you chose they stopped doing a while ago so you need a new one I compiled all the reddish colors for you since I figured that's what you would want" Usagi said as she took Rei's hand and pulled her along towards a pew with a bunch of books and bits of material. Colin smiled and said.
"She seems full of energy" Mina nodded and said.
"That's Usagi, mind always on the go. Except when she is sleeping" Colin smiled and said.
"So who is everyone" Mina looked around noticing a lot of people and started with the group closest to herself and Colin.
"Over there is my best friend John and Setsuna his girlfriend, standing next to Hotaru the dark haired girl and Chibiusa the pink haired girl" Colin nodded and turned towards the next group.
"That group there is a few of our old friends Motoki, the blond one, Umino the shorter one with brown hair, Ken the other blond one with brown eyes, and Mamoru the dark haired one he's the groom, the next group consists of brides maids mostly, the tall girl with short blond hair is Haruka her girlfriend Michiru is the one with aquamarine hair, Makoto is the brunette with long hair and Ami is her girlfriend the blue haired girl standing next to her"
"Who are they" Colin asked and pointed towards the last group of people.
"Ah that's Tahiki, Yaten and Seiya Kou with Artemis and Luna Knight. The Kou's are in the wedding Artemis and Luna are just good friends"
"I see, so your dating Rei then, your pretty lucky there is no one in the world like her."
Minako nodded and said.
"That's true, I am really lucky. Rei is great, I love her a lot" Colin smiled and said with a smart ass smirk.
"She's really lucky too. I mean your practically perfect, beautiful, talented, sweet and smart" Minako blushed a little at his blatant praise.
"Thanks Colin, but why would you say I'm smart, you've only known me for an hour or so?" Colin grinned and leaned close to say.
"You must be smart, Rei wouldn't date someone who was unintelligent, plus you were able to leave the U.S and be gone for a while before the news even realized you were gone." Minako laughed.
Across the room Rei had finished picking her new ribbon, choosing a dark red burgundy-like color, when finished with the task she looked up to find Colin. Hoping he wasn't getting into trouble or embarrassing her in anyway. That's when she saw Minako and Colin standing off alone talking. They were both smiling and Colin leaned closer to Mina who was still smiling and then began to laugh. Rei didn't know why but she was jealous, extremely so. 'I don't know why I would be this way, Minako wouldn't do that to me, plus she's not even into men. I mean I m sure Colin would in a heart beat if Mina gave him the time of day, when it comes to sex Colin is not to be trusted he was raised as one of those "free spirit" people, but Mina wont do that I'm sure of it.' Rei reassured herself and walked back to her girlfriend and her ex.
"Hey guys what ya talking about?" the dark haired senshi asked with a smile. Minako teased.
"Colin thinks I'm smart Rei, do you think he may have brain damage I mean intelligence isn't one of my strong suits." Colin smiled and said.
"Well I am often hit across the head, I may have blunt force trauma or some kind of tumor or bleed causing me to lose all sorts of brain function" Rei glared and said.
"Colin you often deserve being hit over the head, and Mina you are smart just not book smart like Ami" Mina smiled and Colin pouted.
"I don't deserve the brain damage Rei"
The rehearsal for the wedding was done, everything was working out great Usagi had decided that the brides maids would go from tallest to shortest having Haruka next to her, then Setsuna, Makoto, Michiru, Rei, Minako, Hotaru and lastly Ami. Everyone was saying there good byes and going to the cars. Rei once again took the drivers seat and said.
"Naru are you staying at the temple or do you need me to drop you off at home??" Naru answered.
"I have all of my things for the wedding at the temple so ill stay there, that is if its ok with you, I know its your house too," Naru said. Rei smile and said.
"Your welcome anytime, its Youchiro's home as much as mine." Rei then turned to Colin and said.
"You can stay in the guest room if you want, its not as nice as a hotel but its got a bed plus that way you can ride with us to the wedding." Usagi had invited Colin since he was a good friend of Rei's and had nothing to do the next day since his clients had a prior engagement.
"Sure I'll stay over, but are you sure I cant share your room with you and Mina" Colin said jokingly as he suggestively wiggled his brows. Rei reached into the back and smacked him once again. Minako laughed.
"Geez Colin you better slow down with your jokes, I think you've been hit a lot today, it cant be good for your cognitive process." Colin smile and said.
"Thinking can be hard, why bother doing it." The group all exited the vehicle. Rei was tired and felt like going to bed, she had slept terribly and hadn't gotten a chance to talk to Setsuna about anything and was frustrated. Before everyone went inside Rei grabbed Minako's hand and prevented her from following the other inside.
"Baby I'm tired, will you come to bed with me? I just want to be in your arms?" Mina frowned slightly and said.
"But Colin was going to teach us all how to play Bull Shit! It sounded fun cant we play for a little while then ill come to bed," Rei sighed and said.
"you can play ill just watch but I'm only gonna stay up for dinner then I'm going to bed ok" Mina grabbed Rei's hand and leaned in for a kiss.
"Thanks Rei, what are we going to have for dinner?" Rei smiled and said.
"Oh I think I want pizza, what about you" Minako nodded.
"YES!! I love pizza!" Rei smiled and pulled out her cell.
"Go start your game, ill order ok" Mina smiled and pranced into the temple. Rei ordered two pizza's one with everything under the sun, she knew Youchiro, Mina, and Colin loved that kind of pizza and one with mushrooms and pepperoni, hoping Naru would be ok with one or the other.
When the dark haired senshi was finished ordering dinner she walked into the kitchen to find everyone talking, laughing and trying to play cards. Colin was leaning close to Minako smiling grabbing her cards and saying.
"You want to arrange them like this, that way its easier to find the number you want!" when he noticed Rei he leaned away and said.
"Babe, your cards are over there." Rei sighed. Colin knew she didn't like to play cards it was no fun for her she's bloody psychic!! And people tend to get annoyed and pissed off when you win over and over.
"Colin I didn't want to play, and don't call me that!"
"Come on Rei, if you don't play we have to re-deal, just one game" Rei frowned but looked at Minako who was wearing a pleading look. 'she's so freaking cute!' Rei thought.
"Fine but only one game" Rei sat and grabbed her cards, quickly arranging them similarly to how Colin had shown Minako a few minutes ago. Colin said.
"Ok it works like this, we go in a circle taking turns it starts with one, ill go first I have two aces" he said and put down two cards.
"Bull Shit" Rei said without looking up from her own cards. Colin frowned and said.
"Rei its hard to explain if you don't let me take my turn, now if you think I'm lying you do what Rei just did and say Bull Shit, and since I was lying I take the pile, your trying to get rid of all your hand, now Minako its your turn you put down all your twos, then Rei does threes, Naru gets fours, Youchiro fives and so on until we reach aces again and just keep going until someone wins" Everyone nodded and Minako grabbed her twos and an ace and placed them down.
"three twos" the blond lied and Rei smiled but didn't say anything.
"one three" Rei said.
"two fours" Naru said.
"Bull Shit" Rei said, Naru smiled and took the pile. Youchiro grabbed his card and said.
"one five"
"Bull Shit" Rei said again. By this time Minako realized Rei knew what everyone was laying probably before they laid it. Minako stood and said with a smile.
"Rei your cheating!!" Rei smiled and said.
"Its not my fault I'm psychic! that's why I didn't want to play no one ever has fun playing cards with someone who knows what everyone has and what move they are going to make." Minako smiled and said.
"Yes but you are also cheating since you let me lie but called everyone else on it," Colin laughed and said.
"Rei that's just mean, if your gonna cheat and use your powers you should do it fairly" Rei frowned at him.
"Colin I don't cheat, I cant not use my powers it just happens," Everyone laughed just as the door bell rang.
"Who's that Rei?? Come on, use your powers and tell me who's at the door?" Colin teased. Rei sighed and said.
"Colin I don't need to use my powers to know, it's the pizza guy, I ordered pizza!"
"Cool!! I'm starving" Rei got up and said.
"You guys play ill get the door" Rei said as she separated her hand and gave everyone equal amounts of her cards.
Rei brought the pizza to the kitchen were everyone ate while they finished there game. Everyone was having fun and finally Youchiro won the game.
"I'm off to bed, the guest room is down at the end of that hall Colin," Colin nodded and said.
"Thanks Rei," Rei nodded and turned towards the hall, quickly looking back at Minako hoping she would remember her promise to come snuggle. Rei sighed and continued walking Minako and Colin were in the middle of a conversation. 'she probably forgot, oh well, I can sleep, I just don't want to without her'
Minako was having a good time talking to Naru, Colin and Youchiro, But a little while after Rei left she got up an excused herself.
"Good night guys" She said. Everyone else expressed there nightly greetings and dispersed for bed as well. They would have a long day tomorrow, especially if Usagi had anything to say about it.
