Load raving music blared on the highest volume as three woman entered the building. The three ladies were immediately given cat calls the minute they entered the club.

Minako flashed an excited smile at all of her admirers as she raced after her two friends who she had come with. Her pale blonde hair had streaks of a darker blonde, and the silky tresses were longer than usual, thanks to the *minor* (AN: Yeah right..) adjustments the Luna pen had made. Her new outfits were replaced with something more revealing, a white halter-top and a tight beige knee length skirt. Her chest was a bit larger, attracting more wandering eyes as she tried to find her two friends. She growled in annoyance as she bit her bottom lip and ran a bit more. The cream pumps on her feet were killing her as she suddenly ran into a man, knocking herself down.

The man she ran into stumbled over Minako as Usagi's worried shriek was heard. Another blonde headed toward her fallen friend as a tall brunette followed her. The two reached Minako and the man as the braided haired gentlemen helped the girl to her feet. Blushing slightly, she brushed herself off of what dirt and dust had stuck to her bottom, giving the man an eyeful. None of the girls seemed to notice as Duo held a mischievous grin on his face.

Batting his indigo eyes, he introduced himself. "Sorry about that, babe," he said grinning, "The name is Duo Maxwell," Duo held his hand out, which Minako quickly grabbed and shook.

Grinning herself, she answered, "Hi! I'm Minako Aino. These are my friends, Usagi," she introduced, pointing to the other blonde beside her, her hair in a meatball like fashion. Usagi grinned and shook Duo's hand as well. "And Makoto." The brunette flashed a grin as she shook his hand.

"So, what are you lovely ladies doing here?" Duo said, shouting a bit over the loud change of music.

Their faces fell a bit and they forced a happier grin on their features. "Um… we were looking for a game?" Minako answered ditzing herself a bit as she slipped a bit on her thick pumps.

Usagi and Makoto looked at their friend strangely. 'A GAME was the best thought she could come up with?!' they thought incredulously as Duo's answer surprised them.

"Really? You beauties wouldn't happen to know how to play a few card games would you?" Duo asked them as he started to dance a bit with Usagi. Their moves were synchronized as even the two surprised Minako and Makoto.

Makoto's eyes lit up when she heard the question. "Yup! I can play any card game ever invented!"

"Really?" Minako asked, sounding a bit impressed.

"Where'd you learn?" Usagi added before Duo pushed her to the dance floor.

"Um… I sort of picked it up when I was in a bunch of gangs. You know…" Makoto said softly as Minako sweatdropped.

"Um… okay." Minako answered, further avoiding the subject. She lifted her head and stared at the dance floor. She saw Usagi and Duo dancing to a very fast paced beat, while adding some very intricate dance moves.

Makoto whistled in approval. "Where do you think Usagi learned all her moves?"

Minako shrugged. "Beats me," Then a sudden thought struck her. "They look good together, don't they?" Minako asked softly, tearing her gaze away from the couple as she walked over to the bar. Makoto hurriedly followed her. Minako's question had stunned her.

"What do you mean, 'They look good together,'" Makoto asked. An eyebrow was raised.

"What? You don't think so?" Minako motioned toward the couple as Makoto saw they two dancing together. Their bright grins matched, as Duo's indigo eyes, and Usagi's crystalline seemed to be made for each other. They seemed content in each other's arms as the fast pasted song they had been dancing change to a sudden slower beat.

"They do look great together," Makoto said a bit enviously. But added, "But… I was still wondering about Mamoru. Isn't she going to want to go after him?"

Minako looked at her as if she had grown another head. "Makoto?! Have your brain cells started to malfunction at such a young age?! The reason we came here was to get Usagi's mind off the breakup! That bastard dumped the future queen of Crystal Tokyo for some bimbo! Don't you think Usagi would want to get her mind off her destiny for at least one night? All her life she's been living by a life already planned out for her. Become Sailor Moon and marry that jerk. Go and save Crystal Tokyo. I would probably go nuts! Wouldn't you think she'd want to get her mind off that for tonight?!"

Silence settled between the two as the loud chatter of voices and the high volume of music filled the empty gap.

"You're right. Let's see if this guy is the one. Hmm… didn't that Duo guy saw something about card games?" Makoto pondered as Minako gawked at her. Shaking her head, the blonde haired girl smirked.

"C'mon. Let's go see the two love birds," The two giggled as they made their way to the dancing couple. The song ended as they reached the two. Sweat was forming on the dancer's foreheads.

"Wow! You're a great dancer!" Duo commented as he took her figure in, again. She was beautiful. That was the one thought he couldn't get out of her head. Her golden tresses ran to her calves as they fell from two balls in a streamer like fashion. She was dressed in a tight, red, Chinese style dress. She had on red heels, which amazed Duo beyond end for the petite girl to dance to so many heated songs without complaining about discomfort.

"Thanks," Usagi shying answered, grinning herself.

"Let's go to the bar!" Minako suggested and the group made their way to the bar.

"Well girls! Drinks on are me!" He happily commented as he pulled out a crisp, hundred dollar bill.

"Man! You're loaded!" Makoto commented. Minako and Usagi looked a bit grim.

"Um… maybe we shouldn't be drinking…" Usagi commented as she took a quick glance toward the dance floor. Many of them were actually drunk.

"Yeah… I think I'll just have a water," Minako ordered.

"Yeah, me too. Please, lots of ice!" Usagi also ordered as the bartender looked at them a bit oddly.

"Not lots of young ladies like yourselves order water. Do you want it spiked?" the bartender asked as he took out two beer glasses.

"Um, no. We just want plain water." Minako answered.

Makoto just grinned. "I'll take a Molson Canadian Beer!" The Japanese girls who she had come with gave her odd looks. (AN: Lol, can you guess where I come from?)

"Mako…" Usagi warned, but it was too late as Makoto took a heavy swig of her drink.

"Two of whatever she got," Duo ordered as he handed the bartender the large amount of money. The man looked surprised for a moment, but left and came back with a huge amount of change.

"Thanks," Duo said as he grabbed the bottles and they made their way over to an empty table. They took a seat and watched the people dancing on the dance floor.

"I LOVE this song!" Makoto screamed, taking another sip from her beer.

"Uh, okay," Minako answered, unsure of what to say. From a distance, she saw a fight break loose over a card game. 'Hmm… about that card game Duo was talking about,' she thought as she gazed at Duo.

"Hey Duo!" Minako yelled over the sudden change of song, gaining the attention of the man. Makoto yelled something out and dragged Usagi and herself to the dance floor.

"Yeah?" Duo answered. Duo's eyes wandered and soon he was keeping his eyes on the dancing Usagi.

"You said something about a card game earlier. Is there one going on around here?" Minako asked, finally gaining the full attention of the man.

"Oh, yeah. There's one going on in the back room with some of my friends. Do you want to play?" he offered as he took a swig of his beer.

"Oh yeah. Sure, just let me round up Usagi and Makoto," Minako replied as she searched the dance floor for her friends.

"Alright. Just meet us in the room with the label of 216. I'll see you there!" Duo called out as he grabbed the empty bottles and deposited them in the garbage.

"Alright. Where'd those two go?!" Minako called out her friends names and then she saw them dancing with a guy. "Mako-chan! Usagi! Let's go!" Minako said as she dragged her friends off the floor. Protests were ignored from the blonde man they were dancing with. Minako led them to the room. Voices were heard from the inside.

Minako practically threw the door open in giddiness.

*Click* The sound of the safety coming off a gun was heard. The three ladies found themselves at the gunpoint of Heero Yui.
