Well, there weren't really any plans in place yet, but it was always something that would be fun to do, if there was time to do it. A few years ago it would have been something unthinkable to do, between school and fighting off the forces of darkness. She was glad that it was over, that there was a little bit of a break in her life. It was when she was looking at a dress that would look wonderful on Serena that she had heard that same girl's voice on the communicator.<br/><br/>It was a jumbled mess, and having the little device hidden deep in the recesses of a big purse probably didn't help. When Mina found it, she heard Rei go into her usual scolding tone and lecture. It was almost a pleasure to hear all of this again, but it also brought back the fact that this was something that they would never be able to truly escape, that evil will always be something to be quelled. "Better me than anyone else, I guess," was the last thing Mina thought before bolting it for the next exit out of the mall. There really wasn't a whole lot to work with, but knowing Serena, she had few places to be at this time of day, and had to be around the usual arcade.<br/><br/>Hopefully.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x111/Lammy519/susi-sailor-jupiter.jpg)</div><br/>Lita was in her apartment cooking, as she is often found doing. It was way to blow off steam, and not to mention create wonderful goodies that any of the girls would enjoy. The scout considered herself lucky to find this small pocket of time to do something worth while to her, as opposed to babysitting Serena or any of the other girls. She loved them, for sure, but at times they can be airheads and to be away from that was a pleasure.<br/><br/>When the communicator rang out, Lita cursed her luck, blaming her thoughts for tempting fate. It was of course Serena, but with the determination in her voice, it wasn't something petty that she was crying about. With Rei calling back, it became that much more serious and grave, prompting Lita to take this more seriously than she would have hoped. Grabbing her things, in particular her crystal, she left her cooking on hold to make her way out of her apartment and to this apparently big mess.<br/><br/>[[Boo, I hate first posts sometimes. lol]]
