Have you ever read a story that you liked, but there were somethings that you
would have written different if YOU were the author? tehee, this sounds like the
beginning of a story. It's not, these are just me babbling. The point is, I didn't
make up this plot. It belongs to Kurisutaru. Just scroll down some and you'll see
the original. So this is the same story, but with a "Tern" twist ^.^
I don't own Sailor Moon either. I would LOVE to, but um....yeah, I don't. And don't
sue me for goodness sakes! I'm only 15, I don't even have enought money to go with
my band to Miami. Oh well, enough of my ramblings ON WITH THE STORY!!!!
************************************************
I'm here to tell you a story of my best-friends life. What's so special about this
friend of mine? Well you know the story of Cinderella? That was how her life
went, a terrible Cinderella tale. It is a good thing that all fairy tales have a
happy ending.
For starters let me introduce myself. My name is Rei Chiba, my brother is
Mamoru Chiba, and together we inherited our father's multi-million dollar
corporation. Now, my father isn't dead he is still very much alive, he just retired.
Anyways, this story is about my friend, Usagi Tsukino, not me. So we'll go back
to when I met Usagi. She was applying for a job as a personal secretary for my
brother and I was doing the interviews.
"So who's next?" Rei asked annoyed at all the bubbly girls coming here trying to
be her brother's secretary.
"It is a Ms. Usagi Tsukino, Rei." Rei's close friend, Minako Aino said.
"I hope this one isn't as ditzy as the last one."
"Well her resume seems very good."
"Really?"
"Yes, here you go." Minako handed Rei the resume and walked out of her office.
~~RESUME~~
Name: Usagi Tsukino
DOB: June 30, 1980
Place of Birth: Tokyo, Japan
Status: single
Address: 2057 Sakura Lane
Education: graduated High School a year early, Straight A's
Jubin University – 2 years drop out
Experience: Crown Arcade- part time waiter, quit for personal reasons
OJAO's Jewelry Store- sales representative, quit for personal reasons
Tokyo Networking Inc.- computer programmer, quit for personal reasons
Moonlight Eastern Corp., vice president – Technology department, quit for
personal reasons
Rei looked over the resume again. [My word, Mina wasn't kidding, this girl does
have quite a resume.] Rei thought. She took a sip of water and then pressed the
intercom button, "Mina, could you show Ms. Tsukino in please."
"Sure Rei" came Mina's reply quickly.
The door opened and in walked a very nervous petite blonde. Her hair was up in
a very messy fashion, but stylish none the less. She had on a woman's business
suit, and had a small pair of glasses on her face. In her hand she held a brief
case.
"Come in, sit down." Rei said, trying to relieve the girl from her nervousness.
"I'm sorry for taking up your time, but I can not stay much longer. I have much
to do today." The blonde said nervously looking at her watch.
"Oh that is perfectly understandable, I'm sorry for such a long wait. You'd think
I've interviewed about every single girl in Tokyo. Do you have any questions
about the job?"
"I was wondering what the hours would be." She said timidly.
"They would be normal business hours, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., unless my brother, I
mean unless Mr. Chiba has something he needs you to stay after for."
"Oh, okay. That's understandable. Do you have any idea what I would be
doing?"
"Um, I don't exactly know. Normal secretarial stuff I presume. Answering the
phone, organizing things. Keeping things up to date. Mr. Chiba is quite busy
especially with the merge."
"Yes, I've heard about that."
"Well any other questions?"
"No, I think that about covers it."
"You don't care about salary, or if you get to see Mamoru often or anything?"
"No, the money is not an issue, and I go for jobs I'd enjoy, not ones that I like
the employer. Honestly do you think I'm a teenager, going after some guy? I
know he's like bachelor of the year or something, but I'm not a boy-crazy girl
anymore." Usagi seemed a bit hostile toward Rei's inclination.
"I'm sorry Ms. Tsukino. It is just that it seems that that is what most of the girls
coming here are looking for."
Usagi seemed to realize what she had said, "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry for
loosing my temper like that." She went back into her nervous state, glancing at
her watch continuously. "I must go."
"It's all right Miss. I'll keep in touch."
"Thank you Ms. Chiba." Usagi quickly gathered her things and walked out.
Mina came in when Usagi had gone, "So?"
"I think Mina, we have found my brother's new secretary."
"Really? That's good. I'm tired at looking at these heavily made up girls. It's
probably a good thing you held these interviews rather than Mamoru."
"Yeah probably. You wouldn't believe the number of interviewees that walked in
and were sorely disappointed."
"I probably would."
"Maybe. Come on, we deserve a break. Let's go to the Arcade."
"That is a very good idea."
Mina is sort of the company's secretary. She does whatever, mainly things for
Ami (being the head of our Technology Department) and me. Recently she's
been Mamoru's secretary but could not keep up with everything so we decided
on having these interviews. If Mamoru himself had done these interviews, who
knows what the results would have been. Most of the girls that came in were
ready to pounce on him. Last month he was named Tokyo's most eligible
bachelor when he broke off his engagement with the super-model Cindy Burns.
USAGI'S HOUSE
Usagi walked in carrying loads of bags and boxes. "USAGI!" came a shrill voice.
That was Emerald. "What took you so long!? Where is my stuff!?"
"Emerald, calm down it's right here." Usagi put down the boxes and bags and
slid a bunch over to Emerald, her sister.
At the sound of the door closing two more women appeared. One was much
older and stolid. The other was a bouncy redheaded 18-year-old girl.
The older woman looked at Usagi in disgust, "Usagi, what took you so long?"
"I'm sorry Beryl-mama but the lines were long and traffic thick."
Beryl glared at her step-daughter and then said, "very well, but because of your
delay you will have twice your duties. Mamoru Chiba is having a birthday party
this Friday and we must have Emerald and Anne looking there best for the now
proclaimed bachelor."
"But Beryl-mama that is only a week away. I can't make two dresses that
quickly."
"No buts, I suggest you start now. And that does not excuse you from your
normal daily chores."
"Yes Beryl-mama."
Usagi left and trecked down to her bedroom in the basement. Actually it was
more like a dungeon. It had rats like one, and especially smelled like one.
Beside Usagi's bed were two pictures. One was of Usagi's family when she was
a baby. Her real mother and father, Serenity and Stephen, they were beautiful
and looked so happy. But they had died in a car crash when she was only 2
years old. The other picture was of her when she was 4 with her adoptive
parents, Irene and Kenji Tsukino. They were actually her father's distant
cousins, but they were her parents none the less. Her adoptive mother had died
of pneumonia when Usagi was only 6 years old. She had pleaded with her father
to remarry and get a good mother for Usagi, she deserved to have two parents.
Usagi's father Kenji finally gave into his wife's wishes when Usagi was 10 years
old, but died of a heart attack only a year later. After his death, Usagi's
stepmother, Beryl, used her as a slave. Making her do all chores and anything
else she could think up. She had made her drop out of college; saying that is
was ridiculous for a maid that she was to study so much. She had made her quit
every job she ever had because it took time away from more important matters.
THE NEXT DAY
"So Rei, how'd the interviews go?" Mamoru asked over the phone. Rei had
given herself a week off, and was at her estate.
"Oh my gosh, they were horrendous. I swear finding a good secretary is one
thing, finding one that won't drool all over you is a completely off the wall task."
"Ouch, so any luck?"
"Actually we did find a girl. She seemed bright, I left her resume in your top
drawer of your desk."
"Okay" Mamoru searched through the papers and pulled it out. "My word, vice-
president of the Technology department at Moonlight Eastern! And she wants to
be my secretary!?"
"I know that's what I thought. But she said she liked the work."
"So does she know."
"Oh crap, I forgot to call her. I'll call her today, perhaps invite her over for a
picnic or something."
"Rei, don't go overboard, she's only my secretary."
"I know, but when you meet her you'll understand. Well tootles, looks like I
have some things to do. Oh can you tell Mina to give me a ring."
"Sure Rei."
Mina called a little while later and we discussed a little get together. Our friend
Makoto was a great chef, she even owned her own restaurant, so we decided on
the picnic to be held around 12:30, all I had to do was invite Usagi.
ring! ring
"USAGI! GET THE PHONE!" Beryl called out from her bathroom.
"Yes Beryl-mama," Usagi grumbled as she trudged up the stairs to the phone in
the kitchen. "Hello, Tsukino residence, this is Usagi Tsukino speaking, how can I
help you?"
"Usagi? This is Rei Chiba from Chiba Inc."
"OH, yes."
"Well I was calling you to tell you that you got the job."
"Really? That's wonderful."
"Yes, and also, some of my friends and I would love for you to come to a picnic
in the park. Sort of a welcoming into the Chiba home."
"Oh, well that's very thoughtful of you, but I don't think I can make it."
"Oh PLEASE! It would mean so much to me and the girls."
Hearing the sincerity in Rei's voice Usagi decided to comply, "Perhaps I can fit
into my schedule."
"THAT'S GREAT! Don't worry about bringing anything. It's at 12:30 by the Rose
Garden's. You know where that is don't you?"
"Yes."
"Okay then, until then, ta ta."
click
"Usagi, who was on the phone?" Emerald asked.
"I got a new job."
"Really as what? A janitor?" Emerald and Anne started laughing menacingly.
"Sure Emerald, whatever you want." Usagi grumbled as she went back
downstairs to work on her stepsisters' dresses for the party.
LATER THAT DAY IN THE PARK
"There she is!" Rei called out pointing to a small girl dressed in very loose
clothing. "Come on Usagi, we've been waiting for you."
Usagi approached the group of giggling women to see quite a picnic. Someone
had spent a lot of time on this. "Oh my." She gasped.
A blonde giggled as she reached out to Usagi, "That's everyone's reaction to
Mako-chan's food. Come, have a seat. My name is Minako Aino, you can call me
Mina if you want."
"I'm Makoto Kino, or Mako." Said a brunette.
"I'm Ami Muzini." Said a woman with a bluish tint in her black hair.
"And I believe you already know me." Rei said.
"Yes Ms. Chiba."
"Oh please, call me Rei."
"All right."
Well we seemed to have gotten Usagi to open up quite a bit. She seemed really
interested when Ami said she was head of the Technology Department, and
started a long-winded conversation with her in the newest developments. We
finally managed to bring them back and started to talk about our home life.
Usagi told us about her parents, both sets, and about her stepmother. As she
was talking to us she started to cry, the poor girl. Her stepmother seemed so
cruel. Soon she stopped talking though, and went back to her previous state of
behind a wall. She looked at her watch and ran away. We didn't know where
she went to, but she was a fast runner, Mako couldn't even catch up to her.
THE NEXT DAY
Usagi stood out of Chiba Inc. [Well here goes nothing] she thought as she
stepped through the front doors. Mina was at the front desk and saw her come
in. "USAGI! Where'd you run off to yesterday? Never mind you don't have to
tell me. Mr. Chiba's office is on the 35th floor. Have a nice day."
Usagi nodded to Mina and went to the elevator.
When the elevator door opened she was amazed, there was a just hallway and
one door. She stepped through the doorway to see a nice sized desk with a
computer on top of it. Behind the desk were filing cabinets. On the other side
of the room were a couch and chair with a coffee table. She knocked on the oak
door on the other side of the office. She assumed this led to Mr. Chiba's
personal office.
"Come in," said a deep voice.
Usagi stepped timidly through the door, "Mr. Chiba, I'm Usagi Tsukino, your new
secretary."
Mamoru was shocked at the beauty that walked into his room. She wouldn't
look up though, he wanted to see her eyes, but couldn't. She was wearing a
pantsuit and held a brief case. Her hair was put up messily and he could see
frames to glasses that she wore. "Yes yes of course. Ms. Tsukino, you saw your
office most likely." Mamoru placed an arm around her shoulders as he guided
her back out the door.
Rei had been right, there was something about this girl.
