"Hey other me... You're not still in love with Kunzite are you?"
“How could I be? He is with someone else, I mean…I do still like him as a person, but my love for him has dwindled!”

Minako was getting home pretty late tonight, wasn’t she?
She was taking a night class to study for her upcoming finals, and she had gotten so caught up that she didn’t notice the time at all! Her mother was going to kill her if she caught her at the front door, so she would have to sneak in through her window.
Minako thought it would be a good idea to cut through the local park, even though her parents constantly warned her about the creeps and perverts that lurked in the park at night, but she just blissfully ignored them. She was alone, or so she thought, down a long dark path, until she was sure she heard a rustle in the bushes down the path. Minako thought quick and hid behind a tree, trying to look beyond to the bushes, and out came a grotesque figure
“Oh crud! I think its a fury…those things me and Small Lady encountered at the mall a few months back. Or I could be totally wrong. Anyway, I have to take care of it!”
She had pulled out her wand
“Venus Crystal Power! Make Up!” and an orange flash filled her mind
She ran onto the path, in plain sight of the monster
“In the name of Venus, I shall punish you!”
She had conjured up a chain that she started to swing around
“Venus Love Me Chain!” Minako yelled out, throwing it straight at the beast, but he had simply grabbed the chain and broke it in its claws.
Venus gasped, how could it break her chain so easily?! That was hardly possible
“Oh no, what did I get myself into…”
I would love to do something with both of you! We could start tomorrow, if that’s fine?
I want Minako to have a plot with the other Senshi
Maybe a battle or something? Is anyone up for that?
Ace dug into his plate with enthusiasm as well, just not quite as much outward enthusiasm as Minako. He enjoyed what was on his plate quietly as Minako munched away, until she asked him how it was. It was pretty adorable when she straightened up and dabbed at her mouth with a napkin. “Mine is delicious! I am glad that you are enjoying yours.” He took a few more bites, thinking about how the rest of the night might go. “Do you think we should order a dessert when we are done?” He had a strong feeling she would say yes.
“If it’s alright if you, then sure!” she smiled, her eyes twinkling a bit.
“Its really sweet that you wanted to take me out, Ace, really. Thank you so much.”
“Good, I’m glad you haven’t given up. You could do it, if you wanted to, and you’d be great at it too!” He smiled, he really did think she would be a great actor/singer/dancer from his limited experience on stage with her. He knew her first priority would always be as a sailor senshi though- what a burden it must be sometimes.
Ace’s eyes widened slightly in surprise as the girl reached out and clasped his hand. He squeezed her hand back a little and nodded. He was stuck on the ‘even if we’re just friends’ part. Was that like ‘even if we’re just friends but I’d like to be more’ or did I just get friend-zoned? His response was a simple “Thank you”.
The waiter came back with their dinner- two plates full of delicious looking Italian. Ace was loath to let go of the girl’s hand; he trailed his fingers along hers upon moving out of the way.
“Ahhh, the food is delicious!” Minako exclaimed as she took he first bite into her pasta, smiling at Ace. She continued to eat, without much talk until she realized she was being really rude.
“Excuse me, I must have horrible manners right now” she laughed a bit. Minako picked up a napkin, dabbing her mouth for any sauce, cleaning her face.
“How’s the food for you, hm?” she asked Ace, looking at him with a smile.
“I’m bored! None of the girls are around to go out on a perfect Saturday night! Ugh I don’t want to be stuck at home”
Minako huffs
“….This is becoming a trend all to familiar, I’m going out for a walk!”
“Am I really over it yet, or am I just fooling myself yet again?” Minako simply sighed and buried her face into her knees
“Why is my heart so conflicted on this..”
Mina’s loves
“Well congratulations! I am sure you are excited to move up from high school to college.” He had never attended public school himself. He had just been stuck back into this life where he left off last time. “I am sure you will have time for both now. You have teammates to help you out and I am sure you are smart enough to balance your time between your responsibilities. Did you give up on becoming the next big pop idol?” He nodded at the waiter in thanks when he brought back their drinks.
Sipping on his wine, he wondered about what he had been up to. Really it was not much for the amount of time that he had been back. “Well, I have been pretty good. I went on a tour in January, and I am reading a script for a romance movie that I am supposed to be starting filming for in June.” He had not even finished reading the script yet though. “I have been a little lonely though, since I have been back I’ve really only made one new friend. His name is Fiore, he is really sweet.” He hid his face in his glass of wine for a moment. Why are you telling her you are lonely? He supposed he was settling right into the feeling of being close to her quickly; he never admitted that he was lonely to anyone. Then again, he did not know if he had ever really felt loneliness before. He stopped pondering his own situation and turned his attention back to Mina. He leaned back against the booth, one arm resting across the back, casually swirling his wine, posing without really looking like it.
“It’s not exactly that I’ve given up on it, it’s just…” she paused to consider he answer, which she never actually told anyone before, not even Usagi. Was it because she was too scared to admit herself? Or was it just plain avoidance of the subject in general? It was her future, after all. Minako wasn’t too sure what she would be able to do in those years to come.
“It’s just that I’ve put it to the side for now” she simply said, without much emotion showing on her face, a side glance to her drink, not really making eye contact towards Ace. She listened to his endeavors, those great things happening to him that she could only wish that would come to her, but alas, her Senshi duties always come first, right?
“Fiore, huh…?” she said, with a slight smile “That name seems familiar…” she continued on her thought
“But anyway, that’s great, the movie and tour stuff, I mean.” she reached for his hand across the table, feeling the slight warmth in his hand to her own.
“But, Ace, you know you’re not alone, right?”
“I’m always here for you, even if we’re just friends, you can always talk to me.”
