~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi took a long, thoughtful swallow of her milkshake as she sat with
the other girls. She was very quiet--as though her mind were elsewhere.
The girls had been noticing it lately.
Luna watched her charge and sighed--wondering if the distance
her thoughts no doubt actually stood from scout business was
actally measurable.
But as the meeting finished up, and her short, chipper young trainee
was unusually somber and silent all the way home, Luna--always joking that it
would be a blessed event if Usagi ever quieted down--was actually worried.
After dinner Usagi went straight to her room.
Luna found the blond girl perched at her window seat, odangos
loose and tumblng, still unnaturally quiet.
Finally the golden child spoke--much to Luna's relief, "Luna, I've
been thinking..."
"Yes?" Luna asked, trying to recover from the shock of her admission.
She did not mean to be unkind, but did Usagi really *think* about
anything? Ever?
"Well, you're always saying I should get it together and take some action
in my life...and...you're right. I *do* want to start working harder and
getting something back. So I've decided to go down the list of all the
stresses in my life and tackle them one by one."
Luna's eyes went from wide to happy and proud, "Good for you Usagi!
What will you start with?"
Usagi pulled out a list and smirked wryly, "FIRST," She announced,
"I am going to get Mamoru-baka to stop calling me Odango Atama!!!"
Luna stared at her in disbelief, "Th-that's the first thing on your list?"
Usagi nodded, "Oh yes Luna, because I run into him constantly and then
it distracts me and causes a whole bunch of my OTHER stresses! But don't
worry, homework and the negaverse are on here too!"
And with that gleeful assurance she threw herself into bed and fell
promptly to sleep, feeling she had adequately pacifed her kitty.
But that she did not. Luna merely groaned and fell into her usual
defeated slumber.
But the next day, when the girls met after school and started towards the arcade,
things began to change...
"Guys, I've been thinking." Usagi announced and Luna winced a little.
She was proud of her girl--but unsure of how the scouts would treat her
about this.
"Thinking?!?!" Rei exclaimed before Lita clamped a hand over her
mouth.
"And?" Prompted Makoto encouragingly.
"And," Stated Usagi, fixing Rei with a glare, "I decided to make a list of
priorities. I'm going to go down my stresses one by one and get rid of them
all!"
The girls just stared at her blankly.
Finally Ami cleared her throat and spoke up, "So, what are you going
to do first?"
Usagi smiled, "I intend to get a certain baka to STOP calling me Odango
Atama!"
The girls groaned.
"Usagi!" Rei scolded, "What about school work and scout business?!?! Don't
you think THOSE should be on there!!!"
Usagi turned triumphantly to her, "HAH! Of*COURSE* they are Rei! I have them
all worked out!"
She pulled a shopping bag out of nowhere, "THIS is for my homework!"
She pulled out plastic board and a marker.
"....."
"Don't you guys get it?" She exclaimed, "I'm going to hang this
on the bathroom wall and do my homework in THERE where I can't get distracted.
Then I can have a hot bath, work out my math on this waterproof board and
relax knowing I can go right to bed afterwards!"
Mina looked at Makoto, who looked at Ami who shrugged. No one dared look
at Rei.
"Actually, that's not a half bad idea Usagi." Rei said, thinking about it
as they walked into the arcade.
"NOW for Mamoru-baka!" She announced, scanning the counter for him and
his usual 'coffee'.
~Coffee!~ She scoffed, ~He thinks he's so great just cause he drinks COFFEE!~
But alas, her nemesis had not yet arrived.
"I don't believe it," Joked Usagi, "For once HE'S late!"
She sat down with the girls and ordered her milkshake, "Well," She
said after a sip, "That'll give me time to tell you guys what I've
thought about scout stuff!"
The girls eyes all widened as she pulled out a scribbler. Flipping it
open she scanned over some scratchy looking notes, "Alright. So
we're searching for a Princess right? And you guys are her guards
and I'm just temporary-leader in the meantime. Well, I was thinking
about how every Princess has a Prince and then it occured to me! What
if Tuxedo Mask is the long lost Moon Princess's Prince and he's watching out
for us until we find her? I mean, he might not even remember right?"
Before anyone could respond she continued, "Then I was thinking about
the Generals, and how there's four of them too. Maybe they were the
Prince's guards but they've been turned EVIL hmmm? I mean, we were
all reincarnated right, maybe Beryl just got to them first! What do
you think?"
Everyone simply stared at her for a long moment. Then they all turned
to Ami.
Ami was tapping at her computer....it all made sense, it all seemed logical,
the computer confirmed it was a good analysis.
Ami fainted.
Usagi never noticed though, for at that moment, her nemesis entered the
arcade.
She stood up abruptly and stalked over bravely.
His face lit up at the sight of her, "Hey Odan--"
He was cut off as her small hand reached up and clamped over his mouth, "Don't
even finish it Mamoru-baka!"
She dragged him over to a stool--by the mouth--and sat him down as his eyes widened in
surprise, "Now listen up, you and I are going to work out a deal here--alright?"
He nodded and she took her hand away.
"What sort of deal Odango?" He asked cheerfully--mouth still tingling from her hands
brief touch.
Her eyes narrowed, "ARRRRGH! I want you to STOP calling me that you baka! I have
better things to do with my life then get all frustrated every time you call me
Odango!!!"
He chuckled at her adorable red face but then she stepped closer, making him pale,
making Motoki lean closer with a grin as he winked to the girls who were openly staring
at their leader.
"Look! I will give you any one thing you want--anything in the world, if you will
just STOP calling me that!!!!"
Mamoru regarded her with interest, but then laughed it off, "Gimmie a break!"
Her eyes narrowed and she leaned closer--impossibly close, oh gods he couldn't
breath....and she smelled so sweet--how did she do that?
"Anything you want Mamoru." She said solemnly, "Anything I have the power to give you."
Mamoru looked back into her wide blue eyes and swallowed. Shrugging himself away he moved back a bit,
before he lost his mind, "Give me a minute to think about this." He said gruffly.
Usagi's face relaxed. Good, it was working. She smiled and sat down next to him,
"Take your time!" She said wryly.
He bit his lip. Hmmm....Odango would give him ANYTHING he wanted? But she couldn't give
him the one thing he truly wanted from her, the one thing he was far too terrified to ever
chase after, her love.
His sweet little angel bunny who brightened his day.
Why, if he couldn't tease her and call her Odango....he wouldn't be able to speak to
her at all--ever again! I mean, if he tried to be nice to her, nothing would come
out of his mouth, that meant that, minus insults, there was only silence!
Now he really paled. Usagi watched him curiously, as a strange play of
emotions crossed his face.
~Okay, so I can't stop calling her Odango or I'll lose her. So I'll have to
ask for something I *know* she'll never give me.....I got it!~
His pale face regained it's colour and his smile twisted into the familiar smirk Usagi
knew all too well.
"Alright." He said, "I agree."
"So what's the one thing?" Usagi asked, swallowing as he stood and walked towards her.
He leaned down and whispered it in her ear so that Motoki and the girls--all leaning
over and straining--couldn't hear.
Usagi's eyes widened in shock. Before she could reply, a still grinning Mamoru
straightened and headed for the door, "Tomorrow in the park at 4 *ODANGO*!"
Then he was gone.
Everyone crowded around her at once and started talking.
"Well?"
"What is it?"
"Hello? Earth to Usagi!!!"
Usagi had gone white to the lips and stood trembling.
Of all the things in the entire WORLD she might have guessed he'd ask for
she would never have guessed *that*.
~B-but...I don't get it? Why *that*? Doesn't he hate me? Why would
he want *that* if he hates me?~
Then another thought occured to her, ~It would be my first. He wants my first.~
For indeed, the one thing Mamoru had asked her for, the one thing he figured
she'd simply refuse to give him, was a kiss....
