Chpt.1 ~~~I got Homework~~~
Usagi sighed as she trekked up the long set of steps to the Hikawa shrine. She stopped in her tracks and looked up at the crystal blue sky with it's wisps of clouds spread across like ripped cotton candy. She drooled a bit and could swear she saw cotton candy REALLY in the sky. She was so lost in thought she didn't even hear Rei calling out her name.
"Usagi!" Rei shouted. "USAGI-CHAN!"
Rei walked down the steps to Usagi and took in a deep breath and leaned in toward her ear.
"USAGI-CHAN!" Rei shouted at the top of her lungs causing Usagi to scream and tumble down a few steps.
"ITAI!" Usagi whined rubbing her butt. "Rei-chan...Hidoi...."
"Come on Usagi, ikimashou! Everyone is here and they are all ready to study...well...except for Minako...I think..." Rei helped Usagi up and they proceeded to walk up the stairs.
"Why's that?" Usagi looked at Rei questioningly.
"Oh, she stubbed her toe upon entering the room and she is too busy complaining about the pain. She wants the whole world to heed to her needs now" Rei crossed her arms and grimaced.
"Ah" Usagi sighed. Normally she would have laughed at this but under the circumstances today, well, it just wasn't funny.
Rei and Usagi entered the room where everyone else was sitting. Usagi and Rei took their normal seats and Rei cracked open her book.
"Konnichi wa Usagi-chan!" Ami and Makoto said in unison. Minako was sitting in her usual spot with a saddened painful look on her face as she held her big toe. She took another roll of bandages and began to apply MORE layers of bandages to her toe.
"Ano....Minako-chan....don't you think...your toe is bandaged enough? Ami-chan already looked at it and your toe is fine!" Rei put down her book and looked at Minako confusedly.
"Yeah but...err...I...I don't wanna stub this toe again!"
"Well yeah...but you've got other toes you could stub, plus a whole 'nother foot!" Makoto confusedly raised an eyebrow at Minako.
"YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!" Minako quipped and grabbed more bandages from the first aid kit. She proceeded to wrap her other toes in bandages as well as her other foot till both feet were 2 big balls of bandages. "That's better" Minako said smiling. Everyone but Usagi laughed.
Instead Usagi slammed her books on the table and pounded her head on top of her books, making a rather large "WHUMP" sound. Everyone turned to look at Usagi who sighed and then moaned.
"Daijoubou desu ka?" Ami said to Usagi. It wasn't like Usagi to be like this and it made everyone worry a little.
"Iie Ami-chan." Usagi sniffled "It isn't fair"
"What isn't fair Usagi-chan" Minako asked Usagi
"This!" Usagi groaned as she shoved two stapled pieces of paper in Ami's face. Ami took the paper and began to read it over.
"so, it's just a small 4 page research paper on any topic you wanna research? What's wrong with that?"
Usagi sighed and began to explain the events earlier.
~~~Flashback to earlier in the day~~~
Usagi sits in her usual 11th grade class room as she had done since the beginning of the school year. Her teacher, Reikono Iruna, stood up from her desk and began handing out a packet to the class.
"Ok class, here is your next assignment." Iruna-sensei explained as she walked around the room handing out the two page packet. "You are to pick a topic you wish to learn more about and do a 4 page research paper on it. I will ask it be in MLA format with a works cited page. It will be due in one week"
The class groaned slightly
"Now, please read over the assignment rules." Iruna-sensei said as she to began to read the packet out loud with her students.
Usagi groaned at the thing on the packet.
"Now if you will notice the last thing I put in the packet. Yes, I want this paper to be TYPED! Four pages typed with one inch margins, double spaced and with 12pt. New times roman font. Why typed you ask? Well, I have seen some of your handwriting and believe me, not even USA FBI hand writing analysis people over there would be able to decipher it! I do not want to be handed in a bunch of papers with hand written gibberish! Now-" The bell rang and the students stood up and began chatting and gathering their things.
"FINISH READING MACBETH FOR TOMORROW! I WANT YOU TO GET PAST THE SCENE WHERE LADY MACBETH IS SLEEPWALKING IN THE NIGHT! BE ABLE TO TELL ME WHY SHE IS CONSTANTLY CARRYING A LIGHTED CANDLE WITH HER AT ALL TIMES!" Iruna-Sensei shouted over the incessant chatter of her students.
Usagi sighed and slowly trudged out the room. She looked at her watch. I can make it to the shrine and not be late if I hurry, she thought. She exited the school building and headed to the Hikawa shrine.
~~~~End Flashback~~~~~
"So that's all?" Rei said with her usual "I'm-probaly-gonna-end- up-starting-a-fight" look "That's NOTHING! I have to write a TERM PAPER! A TERM PAPER USAGI!!!"
Usagi sighed. "That's not it... I have to use a computer.........AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW THE HECK TO USE ONE!" Usagi cried.
"That's easy! Ask Ami-chan!" Minako said, poking at her bandaged feet.
"Can't baka!" Usagi sighed "Remember, Ami-chan is leaving tomorrow with her computer club people to go to some computer brainiac seminar thingy. She'll be gone a whole week in Kyoto and MY PAPER IS DUE IN A WEEK!" Usagi grabbed Minako by the shirt collar and shook her wildy.
"Hai Usagi-chan. Gomen ne. If I was here I would gladly assist you. I'd take you to the library now but it closes in half an hour and by the time we get there it would be closed." Ami smiled and sweatdropped.
Usagi wailed then turned to Rei "You know how to use a computer! You teach me!" Usagi's eyes widened.
"I can't usagi...I've already got my term paper to write and I have no time to waste! Plus I have that History Thursday test to study for. Gomen Usagi." Rei went back to her books and note cards, taking down more information and stuff for her paper.
Usagi Turned to Makoto, who had been sitting quietly all this time. Makoto took one look and already knew.
"Gomen ne Usagi. I've got too much homeowork and studying. My teacher has been having a bad week and he's taking it out on us by giving us homework."
Usagi moaned and then turned to her last hope. "Minako?" she eyed her hopefully.
"Ano...Usagi....what makes you think that I know how to use a computer? Remember that time you got sick? I couldn't even operate your CD radio! Give me a computer and somewhere there will probably be a burnt building." Minako sweatdropped.
Usagi sighed then let out a large groan. How am I ever going to get this paper done, she thought. Of course, she would have turned to Mamoru but he was studying over in the US and wouldn't be back till the end of may. It was March. Usagi sighed one last sigh before everyone cracked open their books and began to study. She already knew this paper was not going to go well.
