Where: The Little Sister Cosplay Cafe
What: The De-Stress party/Athena's birthday party
Rating/Warning: Will change ratings if needed!

---

[ Welcome to the Little Sister Cosplay Cafe! Athena's rented the whole place (thanks for paying, Phoenix!) to celebrate her birthday, so there's a big signage outside in chalk which reads "De-stress party! Come inside!" So basically, anybody who checks the network should know what it means.

Upon entering, one will spot a bright yellow dessert buffet table, decorated with all sorts of yummy goodies that you can think of! It's a cafe, after all. The desserts are good.

When Athena spots you, she'll immediately bow and say "Welcome to the Little Sister!" and despite this being her party, you may find that she's the only one still in cosplay. Of course she can't ask her other coworkers to get dressed and serve anybody who comes by - they need some de-stressing, too! So it's just her as everybody's waitress and hostess for the day.

By one of the corners is a karaoke machine, and each table already has a menu on top of it. Feel free to order whatever you want! There's a wide selection of American, Italian, and Japanese cuisine, as well as some French desserts - although some are already laid out at the buffet table.

Come on, Cerealia! De-stress and cheer up again! ]

Dear. I'm...not Athena-chan. [She nuzzles Minako a bit with her head.] I'd like a party, but a small one where I know everyone. It'll be more personal that way. And that's just as fun, I think.

[idolater]

[sighs. Minako's... actually not that surprised. of course Rei would want a small party. that was just her]

Okay. Small party it is.

[faithfulflame]

That doesn't mean we can't do things like dances though, you know.

[Rei elbows Minako a bit, teasing.]

And that doesn't mean that I don't want you to plan it. Just...I don't want to invite all of Cerealia.

[idolater]

There hasn't been a dance in a while though. [but there were probably places in the colony to go dancing. Minako had just never thought about it, before. and she likes the big parties where all of Cerealia is invited] Did you want to go dancing for your birthday?

[faithfulflame]

Well, we can go dancing somewhere. [Rei's seen dance clubs and the like, and she could stomach that for Minako.] And I wouldn't mind having dancing at my birthday gathering, because that's fun for people. I just don't want to do like Natalia-san did, because CERES turned her party into a mess.

So. We can have dancing, certainly. Or we can go to a dance club one night.

[idolater]

[hm, a dance club. Minako had wanted to take Ami to a club too, because she thought that might bring her out of her shell. but things had changed, and Minako didn't want to force Ami into doing anything she didn't want to do]

I'll think about it. For now, we can just plan a small get-together at our place... or a restaurant, or something.

[faithfulflame]

[Minako is a wonderful friend. She really is.]

Well...actually, Ami-chan suggested something outdoors, in the park. That way, we can have a lot more room, and not have to put in quite as much work with cleaning since the robots tend the park.

[Which she thought would make Minako happy!]

But beyond get-togethers? Really? I just want to make sure I'm able to spend my birthday with you. Her too...but especially you.

[idolater]

[ooh, an outdoor party! minako does like the sound of that. it's better than her club idea, anyway]

I'm glad I can be here for it! [because she's not even thinking about how CERES could separate people again]

[faithfulflame]

[Rei beams, glad for that. She'd liked the idea too.]

I'm glad too. More than anything, you know. [Leaning her head against the blonde's now, Rei huffs a happy little sigh.] And afterwards, we can have some us time too, I think. I'd like nothing better.

[idolater]

Some "us" time? [Minako's cheeks tinge pink, and she thinks about their steamy make out session from the other day. yeah, something like that, huh?] Yeah, we can do that.

[faithfulflame]

I'd hope so. [Red nails reach up to tap Minako's lip while the Senshi of Passion's eyes flash with amusement. She'd expected Minako to be all over that and she wasn't wrong. Granted she's not sure exactly what she means by 'us time' either but it sounded appropriate.]

And...on the subject of "us" time...I think we're going to need to invite Tadashi-san to my party one way or another. Don't you think?

[idolater]

[aha! Minako's eyes reflect the amusement when Rei mentions Tadashi]

Absolutely! Ami-chan would like that!

[faithfulflame]

[With a laugh, Rei tugs Minako away from the sweets table. This doesn't need to be so public...]

You noticed it too, hmm?

[idolater]

Of course I did. I even talked to Ami-chan about it.

[faithfulflame]

Ah...

[Rei's smiles sharpens just a bit, mischief in her eyes.]

I approve. Tadashi-san is a wonderful person. So. We should definitely bump them along, where we can.

[idolater]

[Minako nods, agreeing wholeheartedly] So it's a plan, then! Operation: set up Ami-chan and Tadashi-san!

[faithfulflame]

How best to start, then?

[Minako is the leader, and the goddess of love...]

[idolater]

Well, I just told Ami-chan that if she and Tadashi-san became friends, that would make things easier. So getting them to spend time together is the first step.

[faithfulflame]

That shouldn't be too hard. We'd already talked about CYBuddies...and Hiro-kun is a friend of mine. We...could invite them both over with Baymax for dinner sometime this week? Since they're also Japanese...well...Issei, but still Japanese immigrants.

[idolater]

Hey, that'd be really nice! I'm sure those boys would like a home-cooked meal!

[faithfulflame]

They liked my yakisoba, so. Maybe this time we can all do sukiyaki?

A big communal meal to celebrate spring, we can frame it as.

[idolater]

[all this talking about dinner was making Minako hungry. she nodded again, reaching for her dessert plate]

Yeah, gotta say something clever like that, or Ami-chan'll freak out.

[faithfulflame]

Well, then it's settled. Maybe give it a couple of days, to let the two of them relax a little bit and then we'll make the invitations. It'll give us time to prepare.

[idolater]

Sounds good to me! [Minako pops a cakepop into her mouth] For now, let's just enjoy Athena-san's party!

[faithfulflame]

[Rei smirks around a bite of cupcake herself.]

Yes, let's do just that. It's nice. Definitely suits her.
