It was kind of embarrassing to admit that at 15, Miuna had never thrown a sleepover before.  She'd been over plenty of people's houses, stolen many people's couches but an actual girly sleepover was never something she'd ever considered doing.  Her lack of friends was one reason, her parents' small apartments the other.  It was hard enough fitting three people into one small space and when they split up the sizes just downgraded.  The Seiyo dorms were fairly large though and with her roommate out for the weekend Miuna thought it would be a perfect time to throw this so called 'sleepover.'

Fluffing up her pillows and checking her watch once more, Miuna tried not to fidget.  So maybe it wasn't a huge sleepover, maybe it was just with Junko.  Even so, a small get together like this meant a lot for the young girl.  It had been forever since she'd actually talked to her upperclassman - outside of the one meet up outside the Planetarium - and she was beyond excited to see her again.  They were already planning weekly ice cream and karaoke, and this sleepover was the start of their renewed friendship.

Five minutes until she got here.  If everything went well tonight then they'd be back to their old selves and Miuna wouldn't have to worry about any sort of future fights.  She checked on the pillows once more before abandoning them to check the treats.  She'd baked cupcakes and cookies just for tonight with little frosted stars.  Could she take a picture and slide it under Kirishigi's table?  Could she throw one at his face?  Only time and a little bit of careful planning would tell.

Lately since the rekindling of their relationship Junko had been making damn sure they spent plenty of time together. They had to make up for lost time! Or well, that's what she'd decided herself anyway.

When they had both settled on a slumber party the second year could feel the excitement bubbling inside her. A slumber party! A real life actual slumber party! With all the works! Snacks, pillow fights, comfy pajamas, late night stories and gossip. She'd never really been invited to any slumber parties so she'd never really understood all the fuss but she couldn't help getting excited over this one.

Although she felt a bit silly wandering around in her pajamas, Junko spared no time in making her way to Miuna's dorm room. Tama had insisted in tagging along, ever the wary one. Junko had tried to assure her things would be fine but the small sprite wouldn't clam up until she saw first hand. So there was no denying what she wanted.

As soon as she'd made it she hurriedly moved up to the door, fixing the bag on her back before giving the door a quick tap. She'd been tempted to call out but knowing they were the only ones in the dorm she refrains, to avoid any trouble.

She swayed back and forth as she eagerly awaited the door to open. She was just so excited!

[Miuna]

The knock at the door was nearly missed but Miuna managed to hear it between her quick running around. There was a thumping sound behind the door, then a clang before the door was finally thrown open. Despite the room's small size the girl was completely out of breath as though she ran a mile and a half. Brushing a stray strand of hair out of her face she smiled at the other.

"Jo-chan!" She exclaimed, moving to the side to let the other into the room. The room was fairly clean save for a few knick knacks stuffed under the bed. They couldn't fit two mattresses on the ground but Miuna made due with a poorly constructed pillow fort, sheets draped around the top.

"Come in, come in. I made some snacks and stuff for us. I know we've both been kind of absent from cooking club so I borrowed some supplies today from there," She waved a hand towards the plates of food off to the side, "I uh... yeah. Feel free to get settled in wherever you'd like. My roommate's out so she won't come in at all."

Miuna shut the door silently behind Junko and moved towards the middle of the room, jumping on top of her bed to fix some of the sheets. "So uh... I've never really done a sleepover before. We don't have to actually do each other's nails and hair, do we? I already did my Faberge polish yesterday."

[junko ୧( ॑ധ ॑)୨]

Wow what an intimidate response! She hadn't expected the door to be answered so quickly!

"Hey Na-chan!"

She replied with a smile, looking to the other girl as she practically beamed. They could easily turn off the lights and have the room still be bright enough from that smile. She couldn't help herself, skipping inside the room as Miuna invited her in. Already the makeshift pillow fort caught Junko's eyes, chuckling as she set her bag down and made herself at home inside it. She poked her head out from the sheets draped around the mighty fort as she looked back to Miuna.

"Oh ! We match then!! This is my first too." She chirped. "We don't have to do nails and hair if you don't wanna, I don't know how to do either anyway." She smiled at Miuna, crawling out a bit from the fort as she sat down in front of the entrance. "I don't know how they things work but....I'm sure we'll figure it out."

"We can always do what Dai-chan and I do-- watch stupid movies and make fun of them. Oh oh or we could swap stories or or or truth and dare oh or-" As she began brainstorming all the kinds of activities the two could do she started to ramble, listing off whatever came to her mind excitedly before she suddenly stopped. She looked at Miuna sheepishly. "We'll have fun either way..."

[Miuna]

Miuna couldn't help but feel relieved at the other's words. As much as she enjoyed being a girl, there were only so many 'girly' activities she could handle before wanting to punch something. She was an independent femme fatale, one that did her make up and clothes quietly to emerge as a force to be reckoned with later on. She didn't just share these responsibilities with others unless she really had to. Even then, she was reluctant to it all.

"That's good," Miuna replied, grabbing one of the trays of snacks from nearby to put between the two of them. Even though she had made them for Junko, she couldn't help but grab a cookie and begin munching on it. It had been ages since she had dinner and the stress of preparing for the night had driven right into her stomach. "I don't really have any movies... unless you want to get them illegally and all that-" She whispered it as though the cops were at her door, ready to break it down at the mere thought of pirating, "- but stories or truth and dare sound fun. We haven't really talked in forever anyway."

Unless the other wanted to watch a movie. Was Junko the movie-watching type? Maybe she should have prepared a movie ahead of time, what was she supposed to do now?! With as much grace as a penguin on land, Miuna rolled over to her laptop and opened it. If she started downloading something now, maybe it would be ready by the time they went to bed. At least then the conversation wouldn't just die off into awkward silence.

"How's kendo anyway?" Miuna asked, quickly looking up the list of Japan's 100 top movies. Battle Royale? Too bloody. Spirited Away? It had been ages since she'd seen it. Shall We Dance? Ew, old people. What did hip people even see anymore?! "Any serious fights break out? Anyone fracture a bone?

[junko ୧( ॑ധ ॑)୨]

"I think we can get away with..." She leaned in a bit, whispering in return, " illegally watching some movies. I think we could take a few cops-- oh. Unless they're my dad. We can't take my dad." She laughed softly, shaking her head as she thought of her dad at the mention of Miuna. He wasn't overly fond of the name, for whatever reasons it was always met with slow and gradual stares. Something she'd never really understand about her father.

"You're right...we really haven't. She leaned back a bit, a bit of a melancholy look on her face as she tried to recall the last time they actually spoke. As friends. A bitter feeling always hung in her chest whenever she thought about it, she didn't like thinking about it at all really. Each time the two seemed to get into a tiff it only caused the bitter feeling in her chest to sink further and further. Its weight increasing each time. Even now it lingered there, like a small reminder not to fuck it up again.

She perked up slightly, looking to Miuna with a smile. "Oh, it's good! I mean, there haven't been..." she paused for a moment. "I mean not in the kendo club anyway but Banchou was there but I don't think that qualifies--" She shook her head. "Kendo club's been good! Not everyone's showing up like usually but...." She shrugged slightly. "Takeo-kun's still managing to get by, even with his visits to the hospital every now and again...." She let out a slight sigh, she'd been to the hospital to visit her friends more times than she'd like to count. Takeo being a very special case with that as he always seemed to land himself in trouble.

"How about you? Is everything going okay with Archery? No arrows in anyone's foot?" She said teasingly, giving Miuna a small grin as she sprawled herself out on her tummy, hands under her chin as she looked to the other girl.

[Miuna]

"Oh my god, that was like... one time," Miuna said, though she knew the other was just teasing her. They'd both said things to each other that they regretted, but the time for rivalry was over. This sleepover was only the first step towards destroying all the animosity that had developed between them. Miuna sank down next to Junko, drawing her knees up to her chin as she looked towards the window. The light from inside was still bright enough that it was hard to see the stars, but the moon shone clearly against the dark skies.

"I... it's good. Different I guess, I don't know," She sighed, burying her face into her arms as she wrapped them around her legs, "I mean, we have a lot of members now. I really like archery but it's not the same as it used to be." It was hard to explain. Had it been anyone else, she probably would have brushed it away but she was close to Junko. The other girl would understand club issues even if they were pursuing different sports. There was just a shared experience that everyone at Seiyo experienced.

"I mean, when I first started archery it was just Akemi and Captain and me. And then the others joined and it just got weird. I love archery and I love the sport, but when the others are there it's like all the egg business comes in," Archery was always separate to her. The sport was the one consistent part of her life that she could rely on but now it was getting all fuzzy, "Obviously the sports fest didn't help.... I don't think.... I can trust Captain anymore....."

She was silent for a few moments before shaking her head and grabbing one of the treats she made. She crammed it into her mouth and slouched over, coughing as it got stuck in her throat. "S-sorry sorry, didn't mean to bring up drama. This is supposed to be our night to have fun and I'm being super lame. We should do something else or something like movies or nails or whatever. I've got to have some sort of supplies somewhere around here."

[junko ୧( ॑ധ ॑)୨]

"It only has to be one time for it to be the perfect teasing material." She laughed, shaking her head. "Just wait, I'm sure the Kendo club'll screw up eventually and then you'll have something just as good to use against me." With the lack of people showing up to meetings lately it was already enough of a joke. But she wouldn't say that.

Junko looked to Miuna as she opened up, remaining silently for a bit as she just listened. It wasn't often Miuna opened up like this and she could feel her heart leap slightly in her chest almost in pride. Knowing that she could confide in Junko, it was such a reassuring thing for her. She liked knowing her friend could trust her in that way. For Junko it may have been one of the best ways to show just how much someone trusted in her. She fidgeted a bit, trying not to show how obviously tickled pink she was.

"Mmm..." She paused for a moment before raising her head a bit as she shook it side to side. "Oh no no!! It's okay! You can talk to me about that kinda stuff Na-chan! I don't mind!" She continued to shake her head as she tried to reassure the first year. "I-I mean we're...f-friends! Friends are supposed to be able to rely on one another with stuff like this right?" Besides, it was much better in Junko's mind than bottling it all up until it festered and rose up when it was no longer manageable. She gave Miuna one of the best smiles she could muster as she sat up giving her a double score of thumbs up. "You can come to me any time with anything Na-chan!"

She wanted to reassure her further, asking her what was wrong between her and Ji-soo but...it didn't seem as though Miuna wished to pursue the topic anymore so Junko respectfully left it. Unsure if she would regret it later on. "A-ah yeah! Yeah let's do that! W-we can put on a movie and do our nails at the same time if you want!" It'd be two birds with one stone that way at least.

[Miuna]

"R-right sorry... I'm not... yeah, whatever!" Miuna wasn't even sure how to take the other's kindness, burying her face in food for a moment before standing up. She wasn't good with all this gooey stuff and she hadn't really told anyone about the problems with archery. Takeo-senpai was vaguely aware of what was going on with her own captain, but that was more due to x-egg fighting and the entire Eli mess. Besides, they'd come to an agreement long before that they'd work together rather than relying on others. It was perhaps the safest route they could follow in all of this.

Nervously grabbing her laptop and pulling it over, she scrolled through the list of movies on the top one hundred list. What did Junko even like to watch? Miuna was definitely not a scary movie person, try as she might to stay brave. She liked action stuff with a lot of fighting and running, the kind of movies that left you deaf in both ears if you experienced them in theaters. She tried her best not to linger on any single movie for too long, a few catching her eye as she bookmarked them for later. Finally settling in the bottom of the list, she found a decent chick flick that seemed to have good enough reviews. There didn't seem to be any fighting scenes but from the hysterics of the critics there were definitely a few heart-wrenching moments.

As the video buffered she left it alone for a second to pull out her makeup box. It was filled to the brim with various bottles and brushes, but the three most prominent pieces were her Faberge nail polish on the top. She carefully took them out to put on the side, one of the bottles half-empty already. Instead of paying them any more mind she dug further into the box to reveal a large array of colors. "You can pick whatever you'd like," Miuna said, trying her best to find a few clean brushes to use for the rest of it, "My mom always buys far too much and ends up sending me the rest. This is like.... one of six boxes, its kind of ridiculous."

As she spoke she held up a few shades of eye shadow to Junko's face, looking for the right shade. Most of these were way too dark for her to pull off but she was generally paler than Junko. The other girl might actually make some use of some of this stuff. "If you want to take anything home too, feel free to just take it. It'd probably work better on you anyway if it catches your eye."
