(PHONE) Rei Hino texts: I'm sorry about last night. I believe in you. I just also want you to be safe. When people I care about are in danger, I get a bit...

(PHONE) Rei Hino texts: Volatile.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: ...i'm not, happy, but don't worry about it.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: it was a big secret to keep

(PHONE) Rei Hino texts: I'd rather you be safe and unhappy, than the reverse. But I'm not going to try to break you two up or anything. Just let me know when he's ready to change sides.

(PHONE) Rei Hino texts: I'll give whatever help I can.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: as long as you don't like, kill him or anything, because that was kind of my worst fear.

(PHONE) Rei Hino texts: What? Of course not! He's human, isn't he!? No way I'd kill him!

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: yes he is!!!

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: okay that's great

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: keep that attitude do not let uranus convince you otherwisde

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: haha. ha.

(PHONE) Rei Hino texts: I don't think I've met her.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: she's in blue and yellow and she thinks we should kill our enemies, even if they're human.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: I'm not going to blame her for what i did though

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: i wanted to keep mamochan's secret.

(PHONE) Rei Hino texts: I just really hope you know what you're doing. I already promised I'd follow you to the end either way.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: i do. i really do! but. thank you rei-chan.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: for following me anyway.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: mamochan would definitely talk to you, if you wanted to interrogate him yourself.

(PHONE) Rei Hino texts: That's what friends are for! As long as I can still sense evil from him, I think I'll have a hard time trusting any answer he can give me. If it's a curse or a possessing spirit or something...

(PHONE) Rei Hino texts: I can offer him a fire reading. Maybe I can find an answer that will help him.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: he might take you up on that. there's answers that he wants too.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: There was something i wanted to talk about last night but i didn't get a chance

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: have you seen the news lately? about the d----- kingdom?

(PHONE) Rei Hino texts: The what kingdom?

(PHONE) Rei Hino texts: I don't have a television, so no, I haven't.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: the d----- kingdom, it's like, this itty bitty country in europe or something

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: but their princess is coming here to tokyo. they're having a ball this weekend

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: and she's going to get a gift from her dad the king

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: it's supposedly an amazing crystal with special qualities.

(PHONE) Rei Hino texts: Hmm... And you think it's the one we're looking for?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: i feel like... it could be? maybe? what are the odds a princess with a crystal comes to tokyo now

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: and we don't have any leads, anywhere.

(PHONE) Rei Hino texts: Well, it's not like she could have already been here right under or nose or anything. We would have found something by now. Or Luna would have. I guess it's worth investigating.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: and if i'm wrong, at least we got to go to a fancy party!

(PHONE) Rei Hino texts: I'll see if I even have anything I can wear...

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: you do! i know you do!
