*Chapter 8*
"Oh boy.... How am I gonna deal with this?" Rowen was sitting in his room talking to himself. "If only I could find out the truth. Man, I gotta talk to Ryo."
Rowen went over to Ryo's cabin and knocked on the door. Serena opened the door. Rowen gulped.
"Rowen?" Serena asked.
"Yeah?"
"What do you want?" Serena asked.
"Oh! Is Ryo in?" Rowen asked.
"Yup. He's in the back room." Serena held the door open.
*Could she really like me? She seems too calm.* Rowen thought.
"Hey! Rowen! Snap out of it!" Serena whacked Rowen on the back of his head.
"Ouchie! Ok, I'm going, I'm going!" Rowen walked around looking for Ryo's room.
When Rowen reached Ryo's room, he found Ryo playing with Yuli.
"Hey Yuli, can me and Ryo talk?" Rowen asked.
"Sure" Yuli said, and ran off to find Rini.
"Don't go off and do anything with Rini!" Rowen called after him.
"Rowen, what's up?" Ryo asked.
"Not much. Well, actually, I have a lot on my mind." Rowen said.
"Like what?"
"Well, I think those meetings for Mina and Sage are no good."
"How come?"
"Well, I'm getting the idea that Mina likes me, not Sage."
"What?! Why?"
"I dunno."
"Ok, anyways, I also think Serena might like me." Rowen said.
Ryo burst out in laughter. "HAHAHAHA! Hey! Serena! Get in here!"
When Serena came in, she thought Ryo had gone mental. "�Que?" Serena asked.
"Serena! Get a load of this! Rowen is getting the idea that YOU like HIM! HAHAHA!!!!" Ryo was laughing so hard that he was crying.
Serena started laughing, then she fell over. She got a kick out of that.
"OK-ok-ok. Serena, you can go now." Ryo said as calmly as he could.
Serena, who was still on the floor, crawled out of the room laughing.
When Serena left, and Ryo had calmed down, he whacked Rowen on his head. "How could you say that?! To me even! You know I like her!" Ryo whispered loudly.
"Sorry." Rowen said, scurrying out of the room.
"Hi Sage." Mina said, turning a dark red.
"Hi Mina."
"Um... Sage, I have something to tell you. The letter you gave me was very nice." she said looking down at her feet. (Minas shy? Yeah right!)
"Oh? What letter?"*If she likes me, then tough luck!*
"But I have to tell you that I don't like you... I'm sorry, bye." Mina said, while walking away.
"Oh hi Ryo." Raye said, waving to him.
"What's up?" Ryo asked.
"Nuthin." Raye replied.
"Good. Haven't been playing poker lately? Ryo asked.
"No, solitare." Raye said.
"Ack! No card games for you! Bad Raye!" Ryo said, with a smile.
*Oh. That smile. I love it so much!* Raye thought, then passed out of happiness.
*Ack! It was just a water gun! I didn't think she was stupid enough to think it was real!* Ryo thought and ran away.
(Hmmm.... Raye just LOVES Ryo's smile! How interesting! What about Ryo and Serena? Does Serena like Ryo or not? And what about Sage? Has Mina broken his heart? And, what about Lita, Kento, Amy, and Cye? Find out next time on Ronin Warriors/ Sailor Moon Soap Opera!!!)
