Awww, you miss me? After all these years? That's so sweet ♥ Sorry to say darling, great as you are, my schedule's too full to mess around like this whenever you want. Next time, please clear it with my personal assistant, okay?

Also, I'm not going anywhere without Rei. Preferably mine, but I can work with whatever you throw at me. I'm an award-winning actress, after all!

Kisses ♥
Mina

[There's something... refreshing about Minako so vibrant and alive. (Alive.) Rei finds herself smiling.]

Minako! So you were looking for me?

[buntails]

Minako-chan! [Ok, to be honest, Usagi pretty much only heard 'award-winning actress' out of all of that.]

I always knew you'd make it!

[luv_n_looks]

Was there ever a doubt? [dramatically throwing her hair over her shoulder]

Usagi, girl, haven't you SEEN my movies? They WERE released in Japan, I made sure of that!

[luv_n_looks]

Reeeeeeiiiiiii! [it's a mix between a whine and a happy cry; and Mina bridges the distance between them in the blink of an eye and is hugging Rei's arm, lacing their fingers together and smiling brilliantly]

I'm always looking for you, darling.

ignore my icons; package ran out and i haven't readjusted the actives. XD

[buntails]

No way! How did I miss them?! [Cue one long, very dramatic wail. Missing Minako's movies is nothing short of a complete and utter tragedy.]

How did I miss Minako-chan's first movies?!!

[luv_n_looks]

Maybe you were too busy trying to start ruling the world!

Or, y'know, making Chibiusa a reality. [WICKED GRIN AND A WINK]

[areasonwhy]

[Minako... sounds like a movie star alright. Rei blinks and gives her a quizzical look.

It can't be the enemy, can it? A new enemy? No; she wouldn't be... gushing (like Usagi, Rei thinks).]

Is everything alright?

[luv_n_looks]

[Mina 'tsk's and pouts]

Ugh, you always ask that when I'm in a good mood. Am I not allowed or something?

[never mind that half the time, the good mood is a total lie. and that rei is the only one who ever sees through it.]

[buntails]

[Three... two... ONE! Cue Usagi turning totally red, and flailing her hand in the air to hush Minako.]

Minako-chan!! That's embarrassing! [Ha. Like she won't be willing to give details in a few minutes.]

[luv_n_looks]

Oh, please. As if it's something I haven't done a MILLION times.

[areasonwhy]

You're allowed. But you sure seem in high spirits. Did something good happen?

[luv_n_looks]

[SMILING AGAIN] You're here! It's been too loooooong. I'm so busy that I can barely call, let alone visit. I'm so lonelyyyyy. [that dramatic whining again. and Mina's head on Rei's shoulder, now. what personal space?]

[buntails]

Well... He did give me a ring... [Which means they must be getting closer to being ready for Chibi-Usa, right?]

[luv_n_looks]

...Honey, that is SO old news. [oh god, not this shit again]

How old are you? 17? 18?

[areasonwhy]

[Reminds her of, well, Usagi, to be honest. She can't say she minds that. It's comforting.]

I won't leave anytime soon, then.

[buntails]

Sixteen. So we won't get married for awhile yet.

[Wait. Old news?]

Minako-chan... How old are you? [Scrutinizing you now, Mina.]

[luv_n_looks]

20, darling.

[buntails]

No way! You grew up! [Come to think of it, she does look a bit like the older Venus she remembers from the future...]

[luv_n_looks]

[dramatic happy GASP! and she snaps her head back upright, her hands flying in front of her face and pulling Rei's with them] You mean it?! When did you start being so nice?!

[she suddenly narrows her eyes] Has something good happened? Why are YOU in such a good mood?

[then just as suddenly she waves her free hand dismissively and grins again] Oh, I won't look a gift horse in the butt. I've missed you! Are you and the gang okay?

[luv_n_looks]

[LAUGHING] I don't know if that's the right phrase, but you're gonna do it too! Miss Queen of the World. It's only a couple more years for me until the pink spot is born!

[buntails]

[Huff!] She doesn't need to be born yet.

[She's lying. She can't wait to meet her daughter for real.]

[areasonwhy]

[Something about all the dramatics... It feels refreshing, but it feels like she's not being given time to think about what Minako's really saying or thinking.

But then, Minako had always kept some things to herself. And now it's Rei's turn to do the same.]

They're fine. [She tries not to feel guilty for the blatant lie when it comes to Usagi, or what they've all had to go through before any semblance of 'fine' happened again.

But there is a fragile peace. The shitennou claim it will last- but she still doesn't trust their words.]

[luv_n_looks]

Want to monopolize that throne for a little while longer?

[buntails]

She's a whiny brat. [... look who's talking.]

[luv_n_looks]

Aww, you don't mean that. I know you're excited as beans!

[buntails]

Well... [She has to admit something, at least, no matter how she tries to keep up the front.]

It'll be nice to have her in one place instead of always showing up without a word.
