[Assume this is taking place a few days before the Prom.Still toweling her hair dry, Utena stepped into the room she shared with Minako wearing a pair of gym shorts and a tank top. She was freshly showered, having just finished a strenuous workout in full armor

Rei sat alone in her room, wearing a comfortable pair of denim cut-offs and a pink and white striped shirt that Minako left over there one of the times she had previously visited. The raven-haired girl chewed on the end of her pencil, trying to finish her final assignment for the semester in another of her classes. "Why do professors always make you fill out so many worksheets these last few days of the year," she complained to herself as she jotted down the final answer on the page. "You'd think they realize that everyone else on the faculty staff is doing the same thing at the same time

The knock on the door came as Utena was halfway under Minako's bed, digging out the shopping bags she had stowed there. A muffled "Come in," emerged, barely audible through the closed door.

Almost as comfortable in this room as she was her own, Rei opened the door and casually walked inside. Her face looked slightly weary from her hard work, but relieved to be taking a break and spending some time with friends. Glancing around the room, she didn't see Minako or Artemis, and Utena was crawling under her roommate's bed.

Rei stood there for a moment watching in silence, until her friend reappeared with the shopping bags she had been searching for. "Been shopping, ne?" Rei chuckled lightly as she remembered how difficult it had been to talk Utena into coming along the last time they went to the mall. "Whatever it is that you need me for, it must be important." A small wink then followed, to show that the dark-haired girl was simply teasing her boyish friend a tiny bit.

Utena shrugged, giving Rei a quirky grin. "You could say that." Looking her friend up and down, she smiled widely. "Looks like you've been working too hard, Rei."

Without waiting for an answer, she got up and went to the cooler in the corner. The small insulated box had been a gift from Wakaba, and it had been full of cans of her favorite brand of green tea. Utena could now bring back a little ice from the cafeteria each day at lunch, and keep her sodas and drinks cold.

Pulling out two cans, then took a seat on Minako's bed and held one out to Rei.

"Actually, I need a little help with my...costume."
