Ohayu Minna!!! Well here's yet another story by yours truly. It's an alternate
world from the one I normally write in. As many of you may, or may not, know I
usually write Ami/Makoto stories; this one however is about Minako and Makoto. As
this is a girl/girl story those of you who have problems with that kind of thing
might want to stay away. If you choose to read this please send me an email and
let me know what you think. My email addy is kenneday@aol.com, or you can send
it to supremelord_jinnai@yahoo.com. Anyway I want to dedicate this story to a
few people. One, my very good friend and adopted little sister, Heather McCoy,
thank you so much for being my friend. To Kitty-Kat, remember that there are
always people who care about you, and to Chibi-Usa Tomoe, love conquers all my
friend, love truly conquers all.
Standard Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or any of the characters they're
in. The fabulous Naoko Takeuchi and various companies own these really wonderful
characters. Now on with the story!

Makoto's Dream
It was raining heavily as Makoto looked around the vacant playground where she had been dumped yet again. It always seemed to come back to this place, and no matter how cliché it seemed it always seemed to be raining when it happened. She began to cry, heartbroken that the person she declared her love to had left her again. The rain pelted her and soaked through her clothes as she saw All of her ex-boyfriends face flash by her as the laughed. Again and again it happened, laughter arose from the shadows around her causing her tears to flow more freely. A cry, torn from her very soul echoed through the empty playground, a cry of absolute loneliness and despair. She had cried out like this many on many nights, using the scream to ease the pain in her tortured soul. Her tears fell faster and harder, not stopping. She cried hysterically, in the midst of her tears a pair of arms suddenly wrapped themselves around her, and hushed the trembling of her broken heart and soul.
Makoto felt the warmth from the person holding her and she began to cry freely into the person's shoulder, crying for all the lost loves in her life. Crying from the years of solitude she had endured, always having to look strong when all she wanted was love. The other began to softly caress Makoto's hair and held the taller girl tightly, making Makoto suddenly aware that the person holding her was another girl. Looking down into the bluer than blue eyes she found herself caught up in a wave of emotions and slowly brought her lips to those of her angel. Their lips met in a fiercely passionate kiss, one that spoke of absolute love and devotion. As their kiss broke Makoto stepped back to look at the angel that had come to save her from her loneliness only to see the fading image of a familiar blonde with sky blue eyes
"Minako?" She said to herself as she awoke suddenly to find herself still in the Fruit Parlor with Minako fast asleep on her shoulder. Smiling to herself, Makoto decided to let the blonde girl sleep a while longer as she really had no where else to go. 'Besides she thought, this isn't so bad. At least someone needs me for something other than a fight.' Yawning Makoto noticed Minako stirring, slowly opening her eye.
"Oh hi there Mako-chan." She said happily. "I guess we went to sleep huh? Guess we must've needed it." Yawning again Minako stretched as she got up and turned again to Makoto. "I guess we won't be seeing that movie tonight after all huh?" Makoto blinked and looked at the time. It was only five o'clock. True there were no classes tomorrow because of curriculum planning so maybe Minako so technically they could still see a movie, maybe do some girls only stuff tomorrow.
"Hey Minako its only five. Why don't we go to my place and watch some videos? I'll cook and you can stay over if you want. We don't have school tomorrow so it would be nice to have someone to hang out with. Just the two of us. What do you think Minako-chan?" Minako blinked at her friend and hoped her cheeks weren't turning different shades of red. It took her a moment to speak but she decided that it might be nice to see Makoto for a day, even if it was only as a friend.
"Sounds great Mako-chan! My parents are out of town so I don't have to ask, so all I need to do is stop by and get some clothes."
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure I've got something I can loan you for the day. Lets go, I've got the perfect movie for us to watch first." Minako smiled at this and let herself be led out of the Fruit Parlor as she and Makoto walked towards the taller girl's apartment. When they got there Makoto went directly to her kitchen and began to cook. Fixing a simple meal of rice and stir-fried vegetables. 'Not complicated but with company it might be best to keep things simple. Besides I doubt Minako really cares all that much. I wish I could carefree like that, but with all the heartbreak I've had I guess that won't be happening anytime soon.'
While Makoto was busy in the kitchen, Minako was looking at the videos he friend had. What she saw surprised her; she saw several animated films from America, most of which she had never heard of. 'Wow', she thought. 'I never figured Makoto was such a fan of animation. Guess there's a lot that I don't know about her.' Sighing to herself she went into the kitchen to see if she could help.
"Hey Mako-chan," she said. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Sure Minako-chan, could you set the table? I rarely use it since I eat alone so much. It'll be nice to have someone to talk to for a change." Minako felt her heart breaking at this. 'How could anyone not love her?' she thought to herself. 'Oh I wish she felt the same way I do.' Minako set the table and anxiously awaited the sweet smelling food that was coming from the kitchen.
As the two girls at they talked about all the adventures they'd had. Minako enjoyed telling Makoto about all the exciting times she'd had when she was Sailor V. They laughed and shared many stories as they ate. As they finished Makoto took the dishes to her kitchen as Minako headed into the living room again.
"Hey Mako-chan, what do you want to watch first?" Minako called out.
"Well why don't you pick the first movie and I'll pick the next one?" Minako nodded and went to look at the movies again. As she read over the titles she came to an animated film she hadn't noticed the first time she read over the movies. Picking it up she read the title, 'The Last Unicorn. Looks cool to me' she thought.
"How about this one Mako-chan?" she said, handing the movie to her friend. She felt a slight tingle as Makoto's hand brushed her own as the taller girl took the movie.
"This is a great choice Minako-chan! I haven't seen this one in a long time. You'll love it!" Makoto said happily as she popped the movie into her VCR and sat on her couch, her knees pulled up to her chest. Minako giggled as she watched her friend. 'She's so cute when she's like this. I just wish I could tell her how I feel about her.' Turning to the movie she watched with rapt fascination the story of a lonely Unicorn, on a quest to find the rest of her kind. The friends laughed as Schmendrick attempted spell after spell, crying at the movies ending. The movie left Minako shocked, she had never expected Makoto to have that kind of movie. As the credits began to roll Makoto smiled as she stopped the tape and replaced it with another film.
"I hope you don't mind Minako-chan, but I'm kinda in the mood for animation tonight. This is another of my favorite films, I even have the book. I've read it five times already. Its called The Hobbit, I hope you like it."
"If its anything like The Last Unicorn I'm sure I will Mako-chan." Minako smiled at her friend. 'Maybe this won't be as hard as I thought.' She thought to herself, smiling as a plan began to form in her head. 'Just you wait Mako-chan, soon you'll have the love you've always dreamed of, and neither one of us will ever be alone again.'
Sorry this is so short Minna. I want to thank my adopted little sister Heather McCpy for helping me through my writer's block. The next chapter should be longer. Thanks for you patience. Until next time. Back to YFFH on makoandmina!
