(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Hey, uhhhh... Usagi? I just... I wanna say.... thanks. Sayaka... told me. Sailor Moon and stuff... got her a miracle. So ummm... thanks. It really means a lot to me. I'm just happy she's okay.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: Hinoiri-chan! I'm so glad to hear from you!!

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: I was really worried. And you don't have to thank Sailor Moon! Sayaka-chan deserved to be saved. And really, she had to do the hardest part herself.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Yeah. She was... she was always really hard on herself. I'm just happy that's over and done with. Her being herself is just... it's nice. And I probably owe her something. She did come and fix my mess on valentines day.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: It was definitely the most exciting Valentine's Day she's ever had.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: But I don't think you should worry about it! Someone was in trouble. What was she going to do, not come?

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: ... I mean. Yeah. Believe it or not, a lot of people... don't come when you need them. Even fewer who can make miracles.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: ... You've got a really cool family, Usagi. Don't ever forget that.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: That's true. A lot of people don't get the help they need. But you asked someone who would never want to let anyone down if she could help it. Of course she came through for you. I'm just glad... I'm just glad Sayaka-chan was able to come back together.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Same. And... we talked. She's doing so much better now. I thought she might have some... other issues. But she's good now. So like... just... tell her thanks again. For being there when we needed her.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: ... Hey. Ummmm... is... it normal to... worry about your friends? Even when they're... better?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: I'm glad! I'm really, really glad you talked. And I'm so glad Sayaka-chan is doing better! I know she was really taking everything really hard.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: And it is! It really is! Because even when they're doing better, you worry that maybe something else is wrong, or if they're really better, and if you should check in on them more for a while!

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Yeah. I... yeah. I... really kind of screwed up. I never really was good at that 'honesty' thing, you know?

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: I just... wanted her to know the truth and stop... working so hard. Especially when I didn't deserve it. I didn't expect her to... THAT.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: I don't think anyone, ever, could have predicted that.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: It's such an awful secret, and no matter *what* you were doing - I don't think anyone expects that to happen because of it!

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Yeah. Just... yeah. Buck Kyubey. I swear next time I see him he'll be lucky if I only punt him.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: ... She deserves so much better than this. I... hope whoever she's with next can help her understand that.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: yeah, seriously fuck that guy, he's lucky i just shook him around

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: wait, whoever she's with next?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: oh no! you guys broke up?

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Kind of? It was a... thing. A lot of... thing. But more or less.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: We're still friends! So like, don't fret about that. But... truth was... I really wasn't good for her and I don't think she was good for me. And I realized a while ago. But... then the whole 'I'm a rock' thing happened and there was no way I was going to just leave her after that. Then she split up and... I thought I could kind of cheer her up, make things suck less? But... then... this. I just made it worse in the end.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: ohhhhhh

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: You wanted to like, stay together to avoid being one more bad thing to happen right after she got bad news? ouch, that's a hard spot to be in

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: but you know what you need?

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: ... I mean... kinda? But not really? It's like...

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: ... Imagine you want a strawberry cake. And someone gives you a lemon pie. And you like lemon pie! But... you decide to settle for the strawberry cake.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: ... Well, the lemon pie.

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: ... Sayaka should be with someone who isn't 'settling' for her.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: sayaka-chan should be. and you should be too

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: but this means that YOU need a sleepover!

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: ... Come again? What?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: with ice cream! and stuffed animals! and just - being able to cry your hard out!

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts:it's like, THE girl code! when your friends break up they NEED a sleepover! and ice cream! to be like, fortified and stuff! and feel the love!

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Oh, I already did the crying thing. On Sayaka, actually. I... what? There's a code? How does... that... work?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: there's definitely a code but don't worry about that

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: the important thing is you need a sleepover!!

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: ... Wait, does this mean I owe Naru a sleep over? I mean, we did only go on one date...

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: nah, you guys didn't llike, date-date!

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Okay. Uhhhhh... Should... I invite Sayaka? Would that be weird? Or would she likely be doing this with Madoka?

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: she'll probably have a sleepover with madoka... but you should invite all your other friends! maybe niji-chan! and naru-chan, if you want

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Right. So... uhhh... where? I have a smaller dorm room now. Not sure... squashing everyone into it would be a good idea. I don't really have a spare bed, either. I could I could sleep at the desk, I've done that plenty but might be... unwieldy.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: we could do it at my actual house! my parents won't mind, since my grades are better!

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Oh, right. Yeah, your house could be fun. And Naru being there is cool. I could probably invite Adrien, too. He's like a friend and I'm sure Naru would like having him over.

(PHONE) Usagi Tsukino texts: ooh, i wonder if my mama and papa would let me have a boy stay over... hmmm.... but if i told them why... it's always worth asking!

PHONE> A text from Hinoiri Kirara: What's wrong with a boy staying over?

(PHONE) Hinoiri Kirara texts: Oh. OH! Right. I mean, at that point... I'm more likely to kiss you than him, considering my track record. XD Sure your parents would even be okay with me being over?
