Mope - 232 Words - Tumblr Prompt #17.
Two months.
It has been two months to the day since Usagi left. No one knew why. No one could think of anything that had been troubling her. If there was anything, then Usagi hid it extremely well.
But if it was something sudden, then all of the Scouts failed her.
At least that was what Makoto thought of things.
Between her and Haruka, they took her disappearance the hardest. For the first month, they looked for her tirelessly. They thought of everything. Not even Sailors Saturn or Pluto could find her.
It was the one time Makoto wished the Silver Crystal would work for her. Usagi had left it behind. Makoto tried using it a bunch of times, even as a simple location device.
But it was all for naught.
Everyone else feared the worst. Everyone else had given up.
But Makoto, Haruka, and Hotaru refused to believe that.
Makoto rested her head against the window pane. It was sunny outside, but the brightness or warm day did not reflect her mood.
She heard a harsh ramming on her door. She ignored it for the first moment or two, but then decided that since it continued, it could be an emergency.
Makoto chose not to think it was about Usagi, as for the first month that's all she did. She felt she needed to distance herself slowly, simply so she wouldn't continue her own heartache.
She opened it to find Haruka.
"Good. You're home. Come on, we're going out."
"Where?..I'm not really up for it."
"Neither am I, that's why we're going. Let's go see a movie or something." Haruka replied, grabbing Makoto's keys, and her hand, dragging her out of her apartment.
"But-"
"I know you miss her...I do too. I can't wait until we find her...So I can throttle that little neck of hers for scaring the hell out of us for two damn months."
"And then we never let her out of our sights again?"
"Wait, that's even a question?"
"Nope." Makoto replied, a soft smile to her face.
"Thanks Haruka."
"For what?"
"Not letting me mope today."
"Anytime, Makoto. You'd do the same for me."
Makoto nodded.
They found themselves at the movies, hoping that perhaps, once they left, something would be different.
Maybe their missing friend would return.
But they couldn't give up their hope.
No matter what could be happening, (a thought they didn't ponder - too disastrous to keep thinking of) - they knew Usagi would want them to keep their hope; keep their faith about her.
That's what they chose to do.
