After a bit of searching you manage to find Rei. And probably in the last place you actually expected her to be: the very training grounds that you had spent your morning at. She was simply standing there, in her Magical Girl outfit as Goddess Gold, frowning in annoyance at the ground as she drove the end of her weapon into it.
"Hey Rei. What wrong?" Your voice seems to startle her from whatever thoughts had been occupying her mind as she looks up at you.
Her annoyed frown twists into an amused grin as you approach, "I was stuck with the base Commander all day going over plans to cover the North East Region until the base is fully operational. I'm not even sure if she listened to me at all during the whole process." She shrugs at the last bit, but turn to you fully, "What about you though? Heard that your training was labeled done; so what have you been up to?"
"Well... I wasn't sure what all I should have done, so I spent part of the morning trying out something new... Visited Carnage to see how she was doing. I just got done doing a bit of magic investigation with Samael though. I think I have a good idea of what Sam's issues with his own magic are, and I think I've got a good idea on another Spell I can use. I'd like to practice first though."
Rei's grin grows a bit at that as she turns to gaze at the 'training grounds'. "Well... they're not quite done demolishing this area for training yet... so why not we have a bit of fun?"
You blink. "Fun?" Rei's smile turns vicious.

"Hahahahahahahaha! That was great! Throw another one!"
"Alright! Here... I... Go!"
"Chains of the Earth!"
The commotion that you and Rei kick up draws a lot of attention to the rapidly disintegrating area at the edge of the base. And in no time at all, you and Goddess Gold have a small audience to your antics. You would take the largest object you could lift, and toss it into the air, and Rei would subsequently try to smash it out of the air with her Chains.
Every few rounds, the two of you would switch off and she would toss objects into the air where you would try to blast them out of the sky with your new-found Starshine spell.
Exemplified as the large rock you had just tossed is smashed apart by the magical links as they dance through the sky. Bits and pieces of the destroyed rock fall to the ground as Rei laughs again. "Alright, your turn! Shoot it down!" Her Chain twists around a tree, ripping it -roots and all- from the ground and throwing it into the air, where you wait.
"Easy!" You summon your Purifier Beam to hand and take aim, "Starshine!" You are almost giddy in excitement as your magical power erupts from the end of your weapon in a flashing rain of light. Dozens of lasers arc through the air in an intricate pattern, to home in on the flying tree, and to smash it to splinters in less then a second. A few that failed to hit before the tree was obliterated spiral outward across the sky in a brilliant display before fading away.
"Your getting better. Try to keep the attacks wasted from the spell to a minimum. After the initial target is dead, attempt to lead those that didn't hit to another target, get ready!"
Instead of replying, you simply raise the Purifier Beam again, charging another spell as Rei grabs more objects: two trees and a large rock this time, and launches them into the air.
"Starshine!" The rain of energy blasts this time spread out, a hurricane of destructive forces that batter away at the objects in question. You try to focus and maintain control over your spell, but only manage to destroy the rock and a single tree before the remaining shots spin off across the sky, leaving the last tree to fall to the ground in mostly one piece. You audibly huff in annoyance as Rei waves you down from the air.
"Good enough for now. As fun as it is, skeet shooting probably isn't the best way to get ready for a proper fight. It's also getting late, so we'd better call it a night." She turns to the gathered onlookers. "Alright, shows over everyone, time to get going." You smile as Rei waves away the onlookers. A sudden sense of nostalgia hitting you. A memory of your sister doing something similar with several neighborhood kids when she had still been in school, before Dad had died, hit you softly.
You felt the grief of her passing, but at the same time, you couldn't help but feel happy with the reminder.
"Come on pet, time for us to settle in for the night."

"AAAAEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Is your less then professional wake up the following morning.
Rei, surprised at being almost thrown out of her bed sits up in surprise, "Whuzza?"
Her voice triggers another bout of panic in your half-awake brain and you promptly flip.
As in: Flip the bed.
Rei is not amused, despite the laughter from the rest of Team GEAR.
-/LINE BREAK IDENTIFIED\-
After a rather awkward morning wakeup call, you find yourself standing outside the tent as Rei stalks away with a huff and both James and Samael practically flee so they can laugh without being overheard.
Leaving next to Mike, who is sporting a rather colorful selection of bruising to the side of his head.
"You alright? What happened?"
He raises an eyebrow at you, "Apparently hitting on a Magical Girl that already has a fiancée isn't productive of one's health."
You blink. "Wait. Wouldn't she be..."
"No actually. She's nineteen. Thought I could get lucky, but... yeah."
Yeah, you could tell how well that had gone. And with that bit of conversation, Mike wonder his way across the base... somewhere. Your unsure where, but you have a pretty good idea. Well, Rei was annoyed with you for flipping her bed, James and Sam are off somewhere busting a gut, and a long day to figure out what to do ahead of you.
"I wish I had some of Sega's hot chocolate right now."
-pick three-
