New Sailor Story

Episode 20: Reikanda! pt 3

Next day all the giants except Hawk who's watching the kids at home are in a meeting to discuss Rei's mission.
"Guys, does it not matter that she doesn't want to go yet? She's exhausted. She was just on good terms with us. Are we going to potentially ruin it?"(Henrique)
"Of course it does! Why do you think I hesitated about sending her?"(Tiana)
"So why not send Lita? Just because it's not her turn?"(Henrique)
"Honestly yes. I don't want to send them in all randomly and then we lose track and then they all lose energy and get exhausted."(Tiana)
"Then why not give them all a break?"(Henrique)
"Because I made a promise to my best friend."(Tiana)
"To help them?"(Serena)
"Guys, be proud. I hear about a lot of moments where our girls saved the Trinity a lot. I'm not just talking about that they just helped with little things that don't matter. I'm talking big. Ami made a monster dog vulnerable, Lita stopped a whole battle with her zaps, and Mina singlehandedly defeated the evil queen."(Tiana)
"We are proud. But we can't do this without thought, Tiana. We have to think about what we have to sacrifice."(Henrique)
"Who do you think Rei is? She can handle it."(Michelle)
"Are you trying to get me to say that she can't handle it? I already know that she can handle it. But I just don't want her to get jumbled up. How hard is it for Tiana to just ask Minnie if we can take some days off and until then, tell the Trinity to stay put somewhere safe?"(Henrique)

Tiana goes to the lab alone and calls the Trinity.
"Sora, can you guys just stay put somewhere? I want to let the girls rest for about a week."(Tiana)
"Honestly yea, that will give us time to get some side quests done."(Sora)
"Thank you so much guys."(Tiana)

Tiana enters the conference room where everyone was waiting for a verdict.
"I worked it out. The girls can rest for a week."(Tiana said proudly crossing her arms)
Henrique smiles gladly.
"Thank you, I'm glad I can tell her that good news."(Henrique)
"Just give her a heads up. Next week, she's going."(Tiana)
"Ok"(Henrique)
"Since we are all here, should we plan a fun week for them? Or should we just let them stay together alone and let them do whatever?"(Tristan)
"I don't know, I just want to spend time with her."(Damian)
"I do too."(Terence)
"But are you guys going to try to be with them all week? Are you going to ask what they want?"(Amara)
"Amara, what THEY want is to be together all day, every day. If I ask them there's no way they're going to say, 'hey! I want to go out with you.' But if we just do it they'll do it because they feel like they have to. And I want to show them that being with me isn't all that awkward or worse than being with the other scouts."(Henrique)
"Ok, I get it."(Amara)
"But what about Rei? If she's going to leave next week right after having a mission recently, wouldn't you want her to do what she wants?"(Darien)
"Come on, she can see them when she comes back."(Henrique)
"Well, if you really want that. I think it's a good idea to have the girls have a week of not seeing each other and spending time with us. It's not just the dads that want to have time with them. There's Serena too."(Tiana)
Serena nods in agreement.
"Dads, you say?"(Michelle smirks)
All the caretakers blushed.
"I want to evolve from calling them caretakers. Caretakers has a tone of business and obligation. I want them to see them as someone that they can love and can open up to."(Tiana)
"So Serena, what days should we assign to you to hang out with them one by one?"(Tiana)
"Let's do in order, day by day, Ami, Rei, Mina, Lita"(Serena)
"Ok, deal. So that's the rule for this week. They are not seeing each other."(Tiana)
"Got it"(Everyone)
