It had been two days since that battle... You returned, and sent Night Raid back to their world, when they saw what you had done, they easily forgave you, and even allowed you to keep the Teigu you took.
Seeking a vacation and change of pace, you are relaxing on the grassy foothills of Hawaii, the more secluded area providing better chances for privacy and relaxation than a crowded beach or resort.
"This is nice." Minako said lounging on the grass in a blue bikini-top and orange long skirt, her feet bare.

Reimi
"Understatement of the century", Reimi responded playfully, having returned to Ami's appearance, wearing a pink tank top and white shorts, sunglasses and a straw hat, and playing with her piplup not too far from her blond friend.
She had not spoken much about the battles in the other world, merely answering answers if the others asked, and stating how she was glad it was over. She was still a bit troubled about it, that much was obvious, but Hawaii, and Makoto, were doing well with helping her smile again.

A green bikini adorned Makoto's frame. She was doing her best to stay positive after successfully freeing Night Raid's universe, but the murder of Esdeth still bothered her. She felt her friendship with Mina slipping a bit, but she held to it fast, not wanting to lose her friend, even though they were now technically a murderer, even if it was with the right intentions at heart. Though the presence of Reimi was doing wonders to keep her positive, she couldn't be sad with Reimi around, that would cause the other girl pain, and she couldn't bear that. So here she was being happy for all the world to see, her Pokemon around her for the first time in what seemed like forever, Kyogre playing in the ocean, Pidove flying above and Petlil soaking up some sun. "Definitely...." was all she said leaning back in her beach towel, allowing the sun to rain down upon her.

"Piplup!" It chirped along with some of the other Pokémon. The day is nice and sunny with a steady breeze keeping it from being too hot.
"You two are so lucky to have each other." Mina observes watching you. "Me... I'll always be alone, no matter how hard I try." She said sitting up. "Ever since China... I... You know what just forget it, it's not worth bringing up bad memories."

Reimi
"What do you mean?... You're beautiful and a good person, Mina-chan... I'm sure you'll find someone for you eventually..." Reimi said, concerned.

"Yeah..." Makoto says "As a lady with the power of love on her side, you'll find someone" she says digging her foot into the sand a bit. She always loved the feeling of sand between her toes. She did wonder what Mina meant by what happened in China, but didn't ask.

(Ooc: You're on grass not sand.)
"Finding isn't the problem, its staying thats the problem." She said. "Back when I was Sailor V, I took a trip to China, I... I had to kill a guy I liked when I found out he was working for evil. Then I learned that as basically a goddess of love, I was cursed to always choose duty over it... I have no choice... I have to be alone."

Reimi
Reimi didn't ask about the 'I had to kill a guy' thing, because a) it wasn't her business, and b) it could have been a Youma, or something. But she still seem very troubled.
"...W-What? ...Says who? Who decides that you have to be alone? ...That's ridiculous... and cruel! You're not supposed to have to pick between the two... love and duty can go well in hand... it doesn't have to be one or the other" the bluenette said, frowning. "...I can't just let a friend who seeks love be forced to spend who knows how long silently wishing they could be happy but unabe to be. Seriously... what do you mean, 'you learned' it had to be like that? Where?"

(OOC: Thought we were on the beach, sorry)
Makoto frowned "You don't have to be alone..." She says. "Just find someone who works for good and hang on for dear life" she says.

"He was my first love, but he was working for the Dark Kingdom." Minako said. "As he died he told me I would always choose my duties as a Senshi over love.... He was right."

"So you took the word of someone from the Dark Kingdom?" Makoto asks "You're the Sailor of Love, if anyone can get a boy or girlfriend it's you." She says. "Wait..." Makoto says "What if we FOUND you a good guy?" She asks. "Get you someone with whom you have something in common. Something to strive for?" She says "Maybe another hero or something. Someone with a duty to attend..." She says..

Reimi
"You sound like you have someone in mind", Reimi said to Makoto, amused.
Turning back to Minako, the bluenette said: "...You know, the wording of what that guy said sounds misleading to me. 'You will always choose your duties over love'. I mean, if it was absolutely impossible to have both... I suppose both Mako-chan and myself would decide, together, to fight for justice and ignore love if only for the greater good... but in no way are we forced to choose one over the other. There is nothing stopping us from picking both love and our duties, together. Of course, it helps that we are both heroines, fighting for the same goals... but it's nonsensical to think you will never be able to find love just because your duties are extremely important for you, as long as the love you find is ready and willing to understand that, or better yet, fights for the same cause."

"Maybe... It's just something that weighs on my mind from time to time." She said.

Reimi
Reimi smiled.
"...Maybe that's precisely why you're having trouble finding love. Sometimes, we set barriers for ourselves, unconsciously, because of something in our past, in our live. You loved that guy, but you had to defeat him because he was an enemy. It must have been difficult for you, so what he told you might have left a bigger impact than it normally would. I mean... if it had just been a random enemy telling you you would never find love, you would have said 'yeah, right' and went on with your life, right?"
She nodded.
"...How about you try ignoring him for a minute... and tell us what you're looking for. How would you describe a person perfect for you? How would be Minako Aino's perfect love interest? ...Go ahead... tell us. I'm sure we can help.♥"

"Yeah, go on." Makoto says in a helpful tone. "What's your perfect partner?" She asks. "If anything we could help you find someone like that." She says.
