Minako Aino: Minako was happily in her home while her cell phone was flipped open and dialing Usagi's number. Sitting in a comfortable pair of black shorts with an orange short sleeved shirt that tied in the back. Pen was in her left hand and gently tapping against the piece of paper on the coffee table in front of her. That cell moved to her ear, letting it ring till she got an answer or a voice mail. Minako was writing a song for her new single and was having a hard time finishing up the lyrics. "Maybe I should ask Rei..she is good with this stuff." It was a thought to her. Rei was at the shrine, in her maiden clothes with a wooden broom in her hands. Cleaning the walk ways off, as she usually does.-e-
Kenshi Aino: Having been in the back yard of his father's mansion the blonde haired male had been sitting in a tree with a head set on listening to some Icon For Hire. While he was listening to the music the male had Imperial Knight paper work in his hand signing off on some various important transcripts for Imperial Command. The newly built Base which had been between the Moon and Earth. Nodding his head the male had been just flipping through the pages reading and then signing . If he didn't like what he saw he'd just flip the page and ignore it . " Why is it I'm stuck doing this ? " He thought to himself " This is Chiba's job.. I'm stuck doing my bosses job while he is off on some special bull crap training .... or so he says.. bull shit " He muttered out and just closed the folder taking his head set off. The blue eyed male would jump down from the tree. Having been wearing tan boots and blue jeans the yellow button down shirt he wore was open showing off his white T-shirt which out
Kenshi Aino: out lined his toned form. The only thing which popped into his mind was a way to get his General back for leaving him with the one thing he hated more than his mother's cooking " paper work " he muttered out loud and groaned. It was hot, and with there having been nothing much going on lately it seemed that many had been on ease. " What wouldn't I give for a Youma to attack.. "(e)
Tsukino Usagi: Within Crystal Palace Usagi had been in a meeting, and a faint groan escaped the woman's lips as she listened to everyone debate. It was when she heard her cell phone ring that Usagi laughed nervously, getting up from her chair as she waved her hand, "I'll be right back!" and excused herself when she observed that on the caller ID it had been Aino Minako. But by the time she could answer it, it had been too long, so she dialed the number back. "What's up, Minako-chan?" Usagi asked if Minako picked up the phone, sighing in relief to be out of the meeting. "You're a life saver…that meeting was boring!" (e)
Minako Aino: Minako blinked a bit as she gave a soft sniff at the air. "is something burning?" Saying to herself, as it took a few moments to realize. "Cookies!" Quickly throwing down that pen and bringing her cell-phone with her. Though when she ran into the kitchen, it was when her phone rang. Picking it up quickly, while she leaned the cell phone against that shoulder. "Aino Residence? ah Usagi!" Her hands now gloved with oven mits, as she opened the over door. Coughing at the smoke coming from it, and waved that hand back and forth. "That is why I always leave a dummy of myself at the meetings on Venus. Looks like I have perfect timing then. Hey Usagi, I just burnt cookies. Do you think you, Kenshi and Bruce would eat them?" The way they looked was very charcoal, worse than Usagi's cookie baking." I should gift wrap them..I wonder how Kenshi is doing with his paperwork..Kenshii~" Calling him quite loudly, forgetting that Usagi's ear was on the phone. "Anyways, I'm having trouble with my new -c-
Minako Aino: song. So I was thinking me and you could do some shopping? I need to clear my head. I stared at that paper for 3 hours and wrote barely anything down...oh! I should give some to Rei as well." -e-
Kenshi Aino: Just as he was about to walk toward the gate of the back guard which would lead into the massive drive way he could hear his mother calling to him. " Aw man.. " he muttered to himself. Looking to his watch the male looked ahead to his gray Lamborghini veneno. " Sorry mom I got to go Orders .. Got a err .. Youma down 10th and Crystal I got to bounce, I'll see ya when I see ya ! " with that Kenshi began running to the car. Since the hood of the car was down all he had to do was slide across the hood of the car and hop into the driver's seat . Starting up that smooth engine the purring sound was music to Kenshi's head. " Manual Drive " He called out . A on board computer would speak out to him " Manual Drive Active " Grasping the wheel the male put the car into drive and with a loud screeching sound Off was the Aino , Where too? He was planning on heading to the Arcade of course. (e)
Tsukino Usagi: When Usagi heard Minako ask her if she wanted burnt cookies, Usagi twitched. "E-Eh… No thanks, Minako-chan…" Usagi said nervously, trying not to offend her friend, but even she knew not to trust Minako's cooking just as much as everyone knew not to trust her own cooking. She highly doubted that Bruce and Kenshi would even want them, why would anyone if they were burnt? But as she thought about it, her cookies always turned out to look nice on the outside, but always winded tasting downright terrible. "As for shopping, I'm for it! Any excuse to get out of a meeting!" (e)
Minako Aino: "Hold on Usagi." Putting the phone away and would run outside towards the door. Poking her head outside while yelling. "Kenshi Aino, you get back in this house right no-." Seeing him drive off, that eyebrow twitched a bit. Moving her head back and closing the door behind her. Moving that cell-phone back to her ear. "I swear, I do not know where he gets that from..and a youma? we would have sensed one." She needed to teach Kenshi to come up with better excuses. "Alright! Shall we meet at the mall say in..35 minutes? I just need to wrap up the cookies and give some to you and tell Bruce." Minako completely ignored the no thanks Usagi said. -e-
Kenshi Aino: " Nope " Kenshi muttered out while driving having heard his mother . The blonde put the petal to the metal when he drove off hitting the road . Turning on the radio the male would begin to listen to some Linkin Park . Driving the male had been speeding why cause he fucking could , Or that was what he thought in his mind . That was until the flashing lights of red and blue could be seen . Looking through his rear view window he noticed it was a cop car. " Seriously... " he muttered out " I'm in one of the fastest cars in the world and I'm getting pulled over by something that a toy I had as a kid could out run. " Sighing the male would comply to Law however and pull over . Turning his music off the male had a rather blink look on his face. The officer which had been walking up to his car would tap the window some " Your kind of in a hurry doing 110 on a 85 area sir where ya heading? " Kenshi's head just turned to the male while he smiled " Just to a... " Kenshi's eyes then
Kenshi Aino: look to the Imperial Knight papers and he smiled to the cop " going to Crystal Palace to get on a shuttle heading to Imperial Command. " The male would look to Kenshi carefully only for his eyes to go wide " You're an Imperial Knight? " Kenshi simply would nod going into his wallet only to show his ID " yup... just captain doing his duty. Maaaan if admiral Aino found out I was late cause a cop pulled me over she'd maybe try to find a way to I don't know get his badge. My mom .. Minako Aino she kind of hates when I'm late for my work as well she really has a temper on that got to be on time , heavy on training too ya know.. I mean I'd hate for her to yell at you. " The cop gave a nervous laugh and handed Kenshi back his Imperial Knight ID " you carry on Captain.. sorry for stopping you. " Kenshi simply nodded while the cop hurried off " Sucker... " Kenshi whispered and started up his car again . (e)
Tsukino Usagi: "I think I know where…" Usagi laughed, reminiscing of her own family. "E-Eh? 35 minutes?" Usagi glanced down at her phone to look at the time. "Okay, I can be over there…it'll give me enough time to change out of these clothes." Admittedly, that was one thing that irritated Usagi: when she was within the palace, she had to dress accordingly and act accordingly. She knew how to play the part of a queen well, but within the presence of her friends and family, Usagi felt playing the mature, queenly role was unnecessary—that was her mother's job—not hers. "I'll meet you over there soon!" Usagi said and hung up the phone, going into her chambers to change into casual attire. Usagi wasn't necessarily sure on whether or not she wanted to just teleport over there or have someone drive her. But regardless, she was relieved to be getting out of a meeting! (e)
Minako Aino: Minako gave a nod of her head. "Alright, I'll see you then." Minako hung up the cell phone and went to her burnt cookies, as she stared at them for a moment. "They..can't taste that bad right?" Minako's hand moved to grab a cookie and take a small bite of it. Hacking and coughing after swallowing the cookie. "They turned out pretty good. Bruce honey~ I left some cookies on the stove, I'm going to go out for a bit. Love you." Minako would wrap up three bags of cookies, as first thing was first. She would close her eyes and begin to teleport, being both her husband, son and the DMV refused to let her drive or get a license. Even though she is the former formula 1 race champion..well second thanks to Haruka. Once her body teleported, her form would appear right in front of Graceson's office. If she was there, Minako gave a big smile."Heya Aunt Graceson, I brought gifts." She would put two orange wrapped bags on her desk. "These are for you and mom, and make sure you give the second back -c-
Minako Aino: to Kenshi, he left in such a rush." With that said, one more cookie wrapped bag was in her hand. Minako would teleport herself out of her Aunt's office and to a back of a building. So no one could see her teleport, as she moved from the back of the building. A hand went through her hair to fix it up nicely. Now all to do was to wait for Usagi. -e-
Kenshi Aino: While Kenshi had been on his way to the arcade , Upon the newly constructed Imperial Command Space station a female could be seen walking. Behind her a few Imperial Knights holding various pads " Mam engine two is still having minor problems and the first class of Imperial Knight ships will not be ready until next week. Graceson taking a few of the pads would place her hand print upon them before looking to one of the Imperial Knights " Set engine's 2 and 3 max output. How many times must I say both engines must be on par with one another. We spent four years getting this Base off the ground from the Moon and your still telling me there are problems. I want those engines working correctly. I also want those ships in within three days not a week. " Walking into her office the female speaking would notice Minako speaking out she raised a brow. Indeed whom Minako was speaking too had been her aunt. To Kenshi she had been his great aunt and to Imperial Court she was
Kenshi Aino: the highest ranking Imperial Knight with the rank of Admiral. The younger twin sister to Amour Aino the first Venus senshi. Wearing a Imperial Knight uniform her shoes could be heard with each step she took walking over to the cookies . Picking a cookie up she smelled it and just sit the cookie down picking up the plate. Walking to the very door once the front door to her office opened her eyes glanced to a passing Imperial Knight " place these in a capsule .. fire it into the sun.. do not eat these... " The Knight looking to Graceson would nod " Yes Mam " he called out and walked with the cookies . Graceson walking back into her office had been moving to sit in her chair . A loud sound could then be heard " OH GAWD I THINK MY EYES ARE WATERING ! " It was coming from the hall way . Face palming the female sighed " I warned him not to eat them... Pressing a button on her desk she then spoke out " Medic on deck 2.. food poisoning" with that she leaned back in her chair . (e)
Tsukino Usagi: After changing into casual attire, Usagi decided to take the lazy route and have a chauffeur drive her over to the mall. She didn't even bother to really have someone fill her position in on the meeting or even notify them that she was leaving. They've been bickering for the past four hours on the same subject, couldn't come up with a solution, and she found it a waste of time to be there. "The mall please," Usagi said to her chauffer once she got outside and entered the vehicle. After a brief amount of time driving, Usagi had been at the mall, and merely picked up her phone and called Minako. If she would answer, Usagi said, "Hey Minako-chan, where are you?" Usagi asked once the car parked in a parking space. (e)
Minako Aino: Minako would dig into her purse to pull out her cell-phone and placed it near her ear. "Heya Usagi, I'm waiting by the front doors. I also brought you some coo-.." Minako blinked and checked her other hand, and then in her bag. The bag of cookies she had for Usagi was gone. "That is odd..I could have sworn I brought you a bag. After we shop, what should we eat? pizza or a cheeseburger?" She would let Usagi decide on where they would eat. After Minako told Usagi where she was, she would hang up the phone and placed it back in her purse. -e-
Kenshi Aino: Kenshi once he would arrive at the arcade the male would park his car and soon step out of the car walking directly to the front doors of the Arcade. " Step aside , Step aside. The blonde racer is here to claim that number one spot from Ruka... Oh yeah today is the day . " He spoke out . Moving behind Kenshi another male could be seen . The male standing behind him had dark long hair and had been sporting black dress pants and shoes. His white button down shirt was neatly tucked in while he wore a black suit vest and red tie . " Kenshi you have been saying that for two months now Face it you'll never beat Haruka's record .. No one has " Kenshi would turn around glaring at the male " Mitsukai !!! This is where you been leaving me with all that damn paper work !! and what did you say about me not beating that dang record !! I'm going to do it now stand aside and watch me work " he said smirking and moving some of his hair from his face walking to the racing car game they
Kenshi Aino: spoke of F1 racing . Sitting in the chair Kenshi took out a coin placing it inside . Mitsukai meanwhile leaned to the side " Warning ya man Kenshi Ruka is a beast in this game there is no way you can do it. " He spoke out and sighed. Kenshi grumbling would start playing " watch me I'll prove you wrong ! (e)
Tsukino Usagi: "Okay, I'm actually here…I decided to take the car!" Usagi said, getting out of the vehicle and giving an 'okay' gesture for the chauffeur to leave. Usagi would then walk to the location where Minako was while talking with her on the phone. "Actually Minako-chan," Usagi began laughing nervously. "Do you think we could eat first? I've been in a meeting all day… I'm hungry!" But then that was a given, Usagi was technically always hungry. "A-And don't worry about it, Minako-chan," Usagi inwardly sighed in relief, otherwise she would've had to toss out the cookie bag when her friend wasn't looking. She was majorly tempted to suggest going to the candy store instead, but Usagi wasn't going to push it. Finally, Usagi met up with Minako and waved, hanging up her phone. "Minako-chan!" Usagi called. (e)
Chibiusa: The young girls eyes would light up a bit. "Yes! I'd love some ice cream!" She bounced with joy a little bit, taking the girls hand and guides her out of the castle grounds. "Ice cream~!"
Tomoe Hotaru: Hotaru nods and is holding onto the hand of her best friend, it is when this one is around Chibiusa all walls are lowered and she is care free. "So, how is your mother and everyone else?" She asks and then frowns for a moment while thinking as they walk, "You know, when I was too told that if I ever got lonely all I had to do is look at the Moon and think of you and everyone......it didn't work, it only made me feel even more lonely. I wish I could be with everyone." A shrug is seen as they approach an ice cream shoppe, "Alright here we are." Letting go of the female's hand Hotaru opens the door, "After you." A light chuckle is heard.
Chibiusa: She held onto her friends hand, a smile never leaving the young princesses face. She was so excited to see her friend after so long, it was a bit lonely without her around. "Well everyone is fine, things have been rather nice lately, which is always good." She nodded her head a little bit and turned to her a bit. "Well...if you ever get too lonely you can always see me Hotaru! Like a secret meeting." She grins and then walked into the establishment once the door was opened for her. "Thank you~"
Tomoe Hotaru: "You are welcome Chibs, and thank you. I mean, yes it is peaceful now but both you and I know that will change within a few seconds, however today I shall not be thinking of that at all....as you are first to order." Hotaru is standing next to her friend and is waiting for the other to order first.
Chibiusa: She smiled and stands on her tippy toes a bit. Looking over at what flavor she wanted. "Umm...I'll have two scoops of Cookies and cream on a cone!" She pointed and grins.
Tomoe Hotaru: "And I will have two scoops of mint chocolate chip on a cone." The person behind the counter nods and gets their order while Hotaru reaches into her black circle shaped purse and pulls out the money needed and places it on the counter.
Chibiusa: Reaching over she takes the cone and started to lick at the sweet ice cream. Smiling happily, she continued to lick over the ice cream, taking a step back and thinks. "Say let's go for a walk! It's such a nice day out."
Tomoe Hotaru: Hotaru would walk alongside Chibiusa and is nodding, "Alright. Oh! How is your mom doing? Well, I presume?" She asks while taking a lick of the ice cream and lets out a breath forgetting how good it tastes.
Chibiusa: Walking along, Chibiusa smiled and licked over the ice cream and thinks for a moment. "Hmm...Yeah mom is ok. I think she is out right now with one of the others." She huffed a little bit, a little upset that she was left behind. Kicks a rock that was on the side walk and takes a bite out of the treat.
Minako Aino: Minako would slip her hand into Usagi's arm and began to drag her into the mall. A bright smile on her face. "It's been awhile since we've been out shopping together. Thanks to paperwork we haven't gotten to spend that much time together, and no thanks to my agent." Which she knew her Agent was calling her on her cell-phone but refused to pick up." Oh Usagi! you should wear this in the bedroom." Minako was looking to her left at sexy lingerie, it had a black one piece Lace displayed in the glass on a dummy. Blue eyes looked to Usagi and grinned. "Mamoru would probably have a heart attack though. Oh!" Minako would drag Usagi over to the glass, looking at an orange two piece silk laced bed wear. Eyes lighting up from it. "I should get this for me...Bruce would love it. What do you think Usagi?" Little did Hotaru and Chibiusa know, Setsuna was creeping up behind them. Clad in that tannish business suit that she always wore. Black heels clicking on the side-walk, with a pair of black -c-
Minako Aino: sun-glasses covering her eyes. That long garnet hair flowing smoothly, as she would remain in creep mood till she got close enough to say something towards Small Lady and Hotaru. "Do you really want to know what the ladies are doing?" -e-
Tsukino Usagi: Usagi laughed when she heard Minako, following Minako along as they walked through the mall. "No kidding! Things have been super busy at the palace lately…I haven't gotten a moment of peace! So I decided to sneak out of a meeting without even informing them." It was Minako's suggestion that made her cheeks turn red. "T-That? M-Minako-chan…have you been hanging out too much with your mom?" Usagi sighed in relief when Minako decided to get it for herself instead. "Bruce?" She blinked, scratching her head. She really didn't know what he'd think about it, but this was Minako. "Minako-chan, if you want it, buy it! But…whatever happened to cheeseburgers?! I'm starving!" (e)
Minako Aino: "Usagi-chan." Minako would turn around and placed both hands on her shoulders. Looking at her best friend deeply. "If we are to grab cheese burgers, we need to dress for the occasion. I mean look at us." Minako examined herself and her friend, with a heavy sigh. "Just because we are Queen's, doesn't mean we have to dress like them." Minako moved that hand from Usagi's shoulders and held up an index finger." My mother may be a bit...weird. But! she knows what men like and what turns them on. It's like her gift or something like that. Now let's see.." Minako would look around for a moment, until a wide grin spread on her face. "We can grab you and myself some sexy bed wear later. Right now, it's time to dress like we are hot models." Grabbing Usagi's hand she would begin to walk towards a lady's clothing shop. Minako knew what she was looking for, as she let go of Usagi's hand and began to explore the racks. Pulling out a frilly light pink, purple and velvet color shirt with a pair -c-
Minako Aino: red shorts that would show off the legs greatly. Moving over to grab a pair of black high heeled pumps that had a crisscross pattern over the foot. "This is my outfit..now for you Usagi..ah!" Minako would use her free hand, to pull out a short white sleeveless dress. Moving the clothing over to a pair of white high heeled shoes. "Perfect no? we will have every guy eyeing us at this male. Boyfriends will drop their girlfriends on the spot for us." Setsuna said with a smile seeing Hotaru, as a hand came out to gently pat her head a bit." Oh? well they are.." Setsuna would think for a moment before a playful tone sounded in her voice. "I'll tell you when you are older. How have you been Hotaru?" -e-
Tomoe Hotaru: "Older? Momma Setsuna.....I have been reborn several times, my body might be young but I am not. Please tell me? Besides I have been good and stayed at my post. I wish to see my friends too." She sighs for a moment and sags her shoulders forgetting about the Icecream as it begins to melt sending a few drops of the green minty chocolate goodness onto the right hand and blinks while going to lick it up. "Want me to buy you one too?" Hotaru asks, and also glances down for a moment, "I also caught hold of Prince Kenshi earlier......he seems confident but at the same time.....I get a lonely feel off of him, why is that?"
Tsukino Usagi: "H-Hey…even I know that!" Usagi gestured towards her own casual attire as she wore a white tank top shirt with a pair of blue jeans and a crescent moon necklace. "I ditched wearing my queenly attire outside of the palace on the day the Moon Kingdom came back into power!" And wasn't that the truth, Usagi felt like she didn't have to worry too much about politics aside from sitting in on meetings at the Crystal Palace. But as Minako continued talking, Usagi shook her head. There was no use arguing with her Venusian best friend. She knew there was always a catch when it involved going out with her. But inwardly, Usagi was relieved that that never changed over the years. She gazed towards the dress that Minako pulled out for her, and admittedly, she was excited. "That looks cute!" Usagi's pigtails bounced, but she quickly face-palmed—weren't they married? "M-Minako-chan…I'm happy with Mamo-chan, you know! Besides…I'm sure that everyone probably knows us to be queens…" (e)
Tsukino Usagi: "Shouldn't you have been shopping on Venus then?" Usagi laughed. "I don't know about that one Minako-chan, it might be okay for you…but remember…Earth is technically under Mamo-chan's and my rule! What might slide for you might be scandalous for me!" She really wished she brought her disguise pen along with her, but she completely forgot about it within her bedchambers; she was in a rush to ensure that those in her meeting didn't catch her on her way out. But as she thought about it, perhaps it was for the best that she forgot her disguise pen—it'd probably encourage Minako even more! "M-Minako-chan…" Usagi said nervously, uncertainty if she wanted any part in what her friend was scheming. When she heard Minako's idea of buying a thong for Bruce, she briefly wondered if she should even be present for that. "Moon lady?" Usagi frowned, where'd that suddenly come from? Most people just called her Usa, Usako, Odango, Bunny, Kitten…but never 'Moon Lady'.
Tsukino Usagi: Usagi would then take the dress and heels before heading into the changing room, thankful for the fact that during her reign as queen, she was actually able to walk in heels without falling. (e)
Minako Aino: "I should, but earth has many more clothes." Minako said through the changing room, as she put on that shirt. Tying it across her waist to show off her toned stomach from the years of fighting youma, dancing and singing. "Stop worrying so much Usagi-chan. You are out with one of your friends just shopping. Besides, my famous saying goes 'never be ashamed to show your body'. Nothing is scandalous about two friends dressing sexy." After Minako put on the shorts and was working on the heels, and hearing Usagi question Moon Lady. Minako began to wonder where that came from as well. "I don't know why I said it, I think it was due to all the moon and palace talk." Minako would come out of the dressing room. Rocking the outfit and heels, as she ran fingers through her hair. After looking in a mirror. "It has to be a crime to look this good. And I won't teach you any of the sexy temptation moves. Just the normal innocent ones." Setsuna smiled and would take the ice cream cone handed to her. -c-
Minako Aino: "To the mall we go then." After Hotaru wrapped an arm around hers, she would begin to walk with Hotaru towards the mall. Using her free hand to gently take a lick from the ice cream. Swallowing the small bite she took before speaking. "I think that would be a good idea. Speaking of that, I think if you talk and hang around Prince Kenshi more. You would feel more relaxed and less shy around strangers. Just don't...pick up the habbits is all I ask." The last thing she wanted was boys drooling over Hotaru. -e-
Tomoe Hotaru: Hotaru shakes her head and chuckles for a moment, "I promise I won't pick up his habits, besides I don't have a lot of time to be here." Feeling complete relaxed the female leans into one of the people that has been regarded as a mother Hotaru lets out a relaxed breath, "How is papa Haruka and Momma Michi?"
Tsukino Usagi: "Do we?" As Usagi thought about it, perhaps they did. Earth was filled with much more variety and she loved that. The dress that Usagi tried on fit well, and she then went about trying on the shoes. "Sorry, I just got out of a meeting, remember?" Usagi laughed when she heard her as an idea popped into her mind. Maybe it was time to actually take a nice, long break from the Crystal Palace. "Hey Minako-chan, after eating, why don't we ditch this place and go to the spa? I could use a nice relaxing massage!" She suggested, and preferably one that wasn't within Crystal Palace… Usagi wanted to avoid going back there as much as possible that day. "As long as what I'm wearing is cute!" Usagi said in response to Minako's phrase. Usagi didn't care so much as dressing sexy as Minako did and preferred to simply look cute. "Moon Lady would probably be more fitting for my mom," Usagi laughed, but even she knew her past life's mother hated nicknames.
Tsukino Usagi: After all, Usagi was reborn on Earth and hadn't even spent so much time on the moon even once it became habitable. She wasn't necessarily sure why, but she simply didn't feel the need to. Earth was her home now, not the moon. Once she got her shoes on, Usagi was pleased with how it looked and stepped out of the fitting rooms. "Innocent ones?" (e)
