It was a peaceful day at the Crown Arcade when, suddenly, something made the birds flutter out off the trees. It sounded something like—
"Baka!"
"Lout!"
"Jerk!"
"Meatball head!"
"Mr. 0 personality!"
"Ms. When I fall down, I take the whole street with me!"
"Grr...EEENNNOOOUUUGGGHHH!"
Usagi and Mamoru, forgetting their fight, turned to see a very, very, pissed Motoki glaring at them with a broom in his hands. Which was quite surprising because Motoki never really got mad, ever!
"I want you two to get out this arcade before I call my father!" he shouted.
The whole arcade was surprised with the yelling, but when they heard Motoki say father, most of them shivered.
Usagi was baffled at why people shivered when Motoki said he was threatening to call his father, she didn't get it. Mamoru, however, did.
"You-your fa- fa- father?"
"That's right, Mamoru. You remember him? Big guy, a retired army general, weighs about 350, although most of it is just muscle, and he even—"
He was counting these out on his fingers with the broom placed on the counter when Mamoru interrupted, turned to Usagi, who was getting it now and looked pretty scared with her eyes wide open.
"Oh! He won't call him, he's too nice." Said a relieved Usagi, thinking she knew her friend pretty well.
"Good point, he is too nice to call!" Agreed a now laughing Mamoru.
"Oh, you think I won't?" Motoki responded getting the phone and dialing a phone number.
"Nice, sweet Motoki! Let's just takea dvantage of him and ruin his business by scaring the customers a way! As long as it makes us happy, who cares wha the thinks? He'll get over it! Heal ways does!" he said to no one but himself through his teeth.
Mamoru never saw this side of Motoki, and he was sure he didn't want to either. He was getting a little worried felt the need to run away as far as possible from the arcade.
"Comon, Odango! We gotta get out of here, now!"
Usagi gave a slight nod as Mamoru grabbed her wrist and ran out of the arcade. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him finally ending up in the park.
Both were out of breath, and were breathing rapidly. Mamoru went over to the bench to sit down and rest his aching legs.
"Gr-great job, Odango..." he breathed out, quite gruffly might I add.
Usagi looked up at him with mad, dilated eyes.
"My fault?" she exclaimed. "How was it my fault, baka? You're the one that started insulting me as soon as I came in the arcade! With your" changing her voice to a very deep one, much like Mamoru's, "failed another test again, Odango?"
Mamoru's only response was to keep taking in rapid breaths and put his head down and faced the ground.
"I just remembered something—I left my backpack in the arcade! How am I supposed to do my home work now?" cried out a whimpering Usagi.
As if on cue, Mamoru's head shot back up, with a cocky grin plastered on it and replied, "As if you actually do home work—"
"I do homework!"
"Really? That sure surprises me"
"Oh, hush you baka!" said a pissed Usagi. "I wouldn't lie!"
"Oh, you don't lie? Well, then I guess you must do your homework, every night, I bet. Well, I should have guessed this already, eh Odango? I mean, with your superb grades and everything!" Mamoru said very sarcastically.
"Oh, alright, I don't regularly do my home work—"
Mamoru couldn't help but chuckle, which pissed off Usagi even more.
"Alright, I don't do my home work at all, happy? But I have other stuff in there too, ya know, like" she said counting them all off on her fingers "my money, my chocolate, my house key, my—"
"Alright, alright, I get your point," said an annoyed Mamoru.
After about five minutes of quietness, Mamoru got up to leave. "Well, see ya, Odango."
"What? You won't leave!" exclaimed Usagi.
Mamoru turned around with an annoyed look on his face. "I won't leave? What do you mean I won't leave? Sorry to break the news to ya Odango, but you don't control my life. So if you don't mind, I'll be going now."
"No, I mean, where am I supposed to go?"
"Uh...lets see, Odango, most people usually go home after the day. Do you know what that is? Ya know, it's the house you run out of every morning yelling, "I'M LATE, I'M LATE, I'M LATE!". Or can your-meatball-for-a-brain can't process such a complicated procedure?" Said Mamoru, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Shut up, baka! And that's not what I meant—"
"Then I'm soooo sorry, I should have read your mind and found out exactly what you meant." He said annoyed.
"Grr! Shut up! It's just that parents went to visit family in Kyoto (and no, I have no clue where this is) so I need that house key to get in the house. And the girls wouldn't know to get my backpack cause I put it under the seat before Ami could ask what I got on the test I failed. I told her I left my backpack at home."
"Can't you just go through a window or something?"
"No...my dad locks up the house pretty tight."
"Well... how about staying at a friend's house, ever thought of that, Odango?"
"I...I can't...Rei's grandpa's a pervert, Ami lives too far away, Minako's not gonna be home tonight cause she's goin' on a trip, and Makoto can't take in anyone at the moment. So...is their any chance I ...uh...could stay with you, just for one night? Please?"
"What?...you want to stay at my apartment—"
"Just for one night, please?"
"Are you out of your mind, Odango? Matoki told be about your father—" he said laughing.
"Please? I promise I won't tell him...and-and isn't it every guy's every dream to have a girl sleep in his apartment?" She was begging right now.
"For your information, Odango, I don't like having girls in my apartment because they never leave you alone if you show them where you live"
"Well don't worry, cause I won't come back! I Promise!" she wanted to say something different, but she really didn't want to test him right now.
"What about—" Mamoru questioned.
"Uh-uh! You saw how mad Matoki was with us, he'd have a fit if he saw me right now!" she replied cutting in.
Sigh "Alright, Odango, you...sigh can stay over—"
"Yay!" Usagi screeched.
"But, there are going to be some rules—"
"Party pooper!" she yelled
"Ya wanna stay over or not?" asked Mamoru
And together they walked to Mamoru's apartment not noticing the sudden snow fall—probably cause they were arguing again...but that's not the point! The snowfall is, all right?
