Rei and the rest of the girls sat on the temple steps staring unconsciously into the ever-blue skies. The sun shone down upon them but they felt empty and bored. Rei twirled a long piece of raven hair around her finger while Makoto counted the butterflies lingering on the cherry blossoms. Ami was, again, indulging a thick book as if she would never put it down. The only one not present was Minako, who had declared she had "something to do" and would meet them later.
"I'm bored," Rei said, breaking the calm, almost serene silence.
"Tell me about it," Makoto said blowing a wisp of hair from her eyes. "It's Friday evening.we should be meeting some guys or at least doing something other than this. Cause I mean c'mon.we're hot!"
"As Mina puts it," Rei said through her breath. They sat for another couple minutes before their silence was broken by Mina's voice.
"Minna-SANNNNNNN!"
"Is that Mina I hear?" Mako said perking up. She slid off the top step and walked (ran) down to meet Mina. Rei was surprised she did not slip. As the two approached Ami and Rei, their laughter and smiles became contagious.
"Ok.you guys will never, ever guess in a million years what I will tell you guys."
"Uhh.you finally got a date?" Rei said slyly. Mina shot her a dirty look. Rei shrugged, smiling.
"C'mon, Ami! Drop that book and pay attention!" Ami looked up smiling sheepishly.
"It's quite interesting you know."
"Yare yare! C'mon anymore guesses?" She looked more giddy than usually. Rei glanced at Ami. Ami shrugged.
"You entered us into a dumb reality TV show?" Rei suggested nonchalantly. When she received no answer, she froze. Her eyes flashed at Mina. "You didn't? You didn't, right?" she demanded. Mina coughed uneasily. "Oh my gosh Mina! You are not serious! Tell me you are not serious and you might live."
"I.umm.*cough*, see.it's kind of like this." Mina looked at her feet uneasily. "Oh what the heck! You should thank me! I'm trying to give us all a social life!" Rei rolled her eyes. Mako came to Mina's aid.
"C'mon Rei, have some enthusiasm for once! Look, even Ami will enjoy this, right?" Mako was glaring at Ami who looked anything else but enthusiastic.
"Oh, I don't know. Being on a TV show?" Mako shot her a death glare. "On second thought, it might be umm.fun." She quickly reverted her attention back to the book.
"Ohh Pssh! You both are no fun! You guys ever heard of The Bachelorettes?" Mako's eyes widened while Ami dropped her book clumsily.
"Oh Mina! You did not.you didn't sign us for it!"
Mina smiled as she nodded yes. Her blue eyes seemed even brighter than usual. Mako and she high-five.
Rei snorted. "You all know how I feel about TV shows, much less about men."
"But Rei, they all can't be that bad.I mean have you met all the men in the world?"
"I've met enough."
"Blah, stop being bitter and stubborn! Who knows.you might find Mr. Prince charming on this show and then you'll be thanking me!"
"I highly doubt it!"
"Let's make a bet then," Mako suggested, the sinister plan taking place within her mind's eye.
"Ohh?"
"You go on the show with us and if you don't find Mr. Right, we all will do whatever you want," Mina announced boldly.
"You guys! I don't think it is too wise. Remember last time? You and Mako had to clean the entire temple for 6 whole months! And you're still doing it."
"Now, now Ami! Don't jinx us! You're in this with us too!" She flashed Ami her grin and V for victory sign. Ami sighed and sunk back onto the steps. Mina turned back to Rei with a sly grin. "If you do find Mr. Right, we all can do anything we want to you and I mean ANYTHING." Rei snickered and slapped hands with Mina.
"I'm not in on this," Ami said in the background. She was ignored as the excitement became even more contagious. Dejected she buried her red face into her hands.
"You're on! But remember you can't go back and you can't be begging me like this morning."
"Oh we won't," Mako replied with a wide grin.
"As the Goddess of love, I know it! You'll be sooooooo sorry Rei-chan! Heehee!"
"We'll see," Rei said determinedly. Mina rolled her eyes.
"Whatever you say.heehee! Anyway onto more important matters.guess what I have?"
"What?" Rei asked annoyed.
"A portfolio of all the bachelors we'll be choosing from!"
"I thought they aren't revealed until the show starts?" Mako asked confused.
"Uh-uh! Now who's going to look at all these fine bishounen with me?" Mako yanked the portfolio from her hands.
"Me!"
"Mako! Bring it back! I want to see it first! C'mon!" She chased after the taller girl.
Rei and Ami slumped against the support of the cement.
"You really aren't doing this for a bet, are you?" Ami asked although she already knew. Rei rolled her eyes.
"I've got two boy-crazy friends.why didn't I see this sooner or later? OOF- " Mina slammed into her body clutching the portfolio to her breasts tightly.
"Mako if you want to look at this you're going to look at this civilly with all of us!"
"All right, all right," the brunette grumbled. She placed her body beside Rei as Mina opened the folder. Rei let out a hideous laugh.
"HeLLOOOOO BABES! XOXO, Happosai.this guy is as old as grandpa! Mina you got us into a show with some old men!"
Mina growled at Rei. "Shut up! There's more guys in here.stop being mean!" She was flushing however. She turned the picture over. The next one was of an elegant man with beautiful green hair. On the back, "Hotohori" was written and the word "beautiful" was written underneath the name. The girls all looked at each other oddly.
"He is hot!" Mako declared. "I've always liked long hair on man." she sighed dreamily. Rei turned the picture over. This one was of a half-naked red head pointing an iron fan at.someone. He looked pissed but nonetheless. "Seductive! Ooh Rei! He'd totally be perfect for you!" Mina nudged her raven hair friend who answered in a groan. They turned the picture voer. "Tasuki" was written on the back. Mina turned the picture over to reveal another photograph.
This one was a grim looking young man who didn't look more than 21 years old. His red hair flowed fashionably down his long face. His violet eyes stared out as if they were making judgment. Mina let out a breath.
"Wow.is this guy intense! Hey-Rei! He has violet eyes.do I see a connection here?" She looked slyly at her friend who knocked her playfully on the head. "Sorry!" she said testily. At the bottom, the name "Ran Fujimiya" was written.
"Any guys interesting you so far, Ami?" Mako side-glanced at Ami who blushed. "No need to pretend! You know you like this too."
"No, I mean.I uh."
"C'mon Ami, look at this guy, don't you think he's hot?" Ami looked at it. The guy had wavy violet hair and a gorgeous smile, winking.
"Uh.yeah," she said unsure. Mina let out a howl.
"I told you guys we'd all enjoy this, didn't I?"
"I just hope it doesn't kill us, AINO," Rei said pointedly. Mina smiled good-naturedly.
"I promise!"
The girls spent the rest of their evening looking and drooling, on behalf of Mako and Mina, at the pictures. What an evening!
"A couple more weeks and we get to meet them you guys?"
"A couple?" Ami let out a hoarse whisper as the color drained from her face.
"Uh-huh!"
"What have I gotten myself into?" Rei asked, looking to the stars that would only twinkled.
