Hey, it's Minako! Got a message for me? Drop a line and I'll be right with you!

[crystal communication | snailmail]

Minako-chan! Ah... I have something I need to tell you but... I need you to.... not... panic.... or worry....

Or attack someone.

...what is it?

[She hesitates a little. This probably isn't good.]

Aaaaaah weeelllll.... Ha.... ummm... See, there's a new arrival who is in need of a special diet and he's super sweet, and super cute, by the way! He's actually like... a mix of Rei-chan and Ami-chan's personalities but with your pretty hair coloring.

Aaaaaanyyywaaaay.... [She takes a deep breath. This went alright with Rei, it should be okay with Minako... but then... Minako was even more protective than Rei.]

He's.... a vampire and I may or may not be donating my blood so he can live? BUT UM, IT WOULDN'T BE BITING!

[Minako audibly sucks in a breath.]

That's...you're sure he can't infect you, right? If he does, I'll make sure he wishes he'd never been born.

10000% positive! It would be.... ugh, needles and then giving him that, his mouth won't be anywhere near me. UH THAT CAME OUT WRONG BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!!

I do know! But those had better be safe needles. Is there a doctor around?

Nurse, probably, but all clean, all sterile, and all completely safe.

Uh... Rei already... made me promise not to do it alone, like, someone else has to help feed him otherwise it would be bad for my health.

Good! That's great. Perfect. Do you have someone going with you? Because if not...

[She'll be there with bells on.]

He might go with me, but I actually would really appreciate you coming. I hate needles.

Then I'm there. Just call me.

Thank you, Minako.

Miiinnnaaaakooooo-chaaaan~ It's your biiiiirthdaaaay mooooonth!

So! What should we do for your birthday? OH! What do you want to do? Who should I invite? Do you want to do it on the day of your birthday or sometime later? Your birthday is on a weekend! Should it be during the day so you and Rei-chan can have a special birthday date in the evening?

[Minako's looking a little disheveled---she's alone, Rei's not involved, but her hair's half-braided and she's still in her PJs. It's that kind of day.]

I haven't really thought about it! I've been trying to meet people in town, trying to figure this all out...no, I think we should party at night so more people can come. Maybe we can have a fire, out under the stars?

Oh! A bonfire by the lake? You don't think that will be too cold? Well, I guess we can snuggle!

We'll be fine! C'mon, we've been through cold weather...and I guess we could have a cabin somewhere, or the inside of a hall? Somewhere to go if it rains or gets too cold.

Hmm, I thiiiink there's a lake cabin we could rent for the night. I'll look into it!

I'd love it! Perfect for a night...and we can't cram the whole town in there, but a few of our friends, sure!

Which brings me to the invitation list.

[Maybe about ten seconds after her conversation with Usagi, Rei jumps back to calling Minako.]

So. Is there...anything you'd like to do on your birthday with...just...us?

[Her voice may be a little squeakier than normal, because...well...this is a big deal to Rei, who's not normally physically affectionate, but she has some ideas.................]

Sure...uh...about how long is it?

However long you want, Minako, it's your birthday.

[Minako smiles happily]

Oh Rei, you know spending the day with you girls is always just what I need! But I was thinking, maybe that night, when people go to sleep, we could have sleeping bags next to each other?

Okay, so...how about everybody who seems friendly? I won't ask for presents, everybody's got a lot to be dealing with, but they could come meet each other and have fun! I think the town needs more of that.

[Rei laughs, deep in the back of her throat. She has some plans.]

Well, Usagi mentioned renting a cabin. And sending people home once the party winds down...

Yeah.... especially this month. Something... seems weird. Like that uneasy feeling we had back when trying to get to Piphron....

But at least no paranoia gas this time, right!
