Four Hours - Open
Minako's arms were crossed over her chest as she seemed deep in thought. There were still parts that she needed to get done but that wouldn't take all that long. Gathering some food that she would be unable to cook and didn't want to go to the trouble of asking a friend to cook it instead, so she planned on just buying it.

But making lists wasn't all that she was pondering over. It was something she had just recently finished that she might want someone to help her with. So as soon as she she gave herself a little nod she started to look around.

If she spotted some poor unfortunate soul she bounded on over, a skip in her step.

"Hello there may I have a moment of your time. I want to know your thoughts on a song I just wrote?"

Three Hours - Closed to Makoto and Usagi
Minako was honestly getting a little nervous about everything. But she did feel a little better with it having been at the Pink House. It also meant they got to share in the moment too, but also meant she could get help with setting a few things up outside of the place.

First job was to set up a table and chairs for two outside in the garden, but as she stepped back and looking over what she had she found herself frowning slightly. Maybe she should go find her friends and get their advice.

It is Time - Closed to Vira
Minako felt herself getting even more nervous as she adjusted her dress a little bit. As much as usually she was someone who was full of confidence this was one of those times, but all she could do now was wait and hope that her friends whom she knew were nearby stayed inside until she told them to come out.

Now all she had to do was wait for her partner to come along.

Wildcard
[If there is anything you would like to play out, or do something based on events later please use this one. I hope to add more as the month goes along perhaps.]

Comments

[loveandduty]

Minako was happy to be able to hold her hand the moment she was able to in order to go inside, which she was at least going to walk slowly toward.

"But now that we are engaged... it just means a whole lot more things to do." And she was honestly excited to be able to actually do that stuff. Something that she never would have expected before.

[onerthes]

"Oh yes, but they're all fun things," she said, holding onto that hand and grinning over at her with a practically beaming quality to her face as she did so. "Being engaged, we can look for all those little things that people do to make their lives together forever, a step at a time. Oh my. We have to see if I can keep up with you, don't we? That'll be quite the fun challenge."

[loveandduty]

"What little things?" Did she mean wedding party stuff or more housing ad such? It could be anything in Minako's mind. She assumed it could be the latter since in a way they still don't live together yet.

[onerthes]

"Preparing for the wedding... finding how we're going to move things into each other's house. Picking which house even... There's so many tiny things we'll find we get to do together now, aren't there?" she said. There was something pleasant about all of those little changes in her life becoming reality.

[loveandduty]

"That is true, though I think the which house is probably a lot easier since I don't really spend all that much time at my own place." She usually went to either Viras from the Pink house. While she does sometimes stay at home, she was never really there for that long.

So for her it just made sense. "But I am looking forward to the other things."

[onerthes]

She giggled a little and nodded. "I'm probably going to start getting things ready with the plan to have it be a home for two very soon. thankfully there's enough room in it for two people to live comfortably." She hadn't wanted to suggest it, but she definitely was glad at the thought they'd move in to her place. It was a nice, comfortable little house after all.

"I'm looking forward to it all. And to the things we haven't even imagined yet."

[loveandduty]

She smile slightly. It seemed like things could only really get better at least when it came to the two of them. With the world as a whole that was a whole other story.But Minako was happy regardless at the steps they were not taking.

And this next step was not as huge as moving in or the actual marriage, but just going to see her friends to actually let them know it all went well. She at least knew as they stepped through that door that would at least go well.

"I'm looking forward to it all too." Was the words she said as she went through the door.
