A cute one-shot of Usagi and Mamoru at a festival ^^ Enjoy!
"Oh Mamo-chan, you're just so cute!" Usagi cooed as she pressed her finger against his chest. The way he had won the teddy bead for her was so adorable, he was just so determined at hitting those milk bottles ! Her honey was sweet as he could be, especially at festivals. And to be honest, he looked so darn handsome tonight! But, something else caught her eye. In the corner of a street alleyway was this claw machine, and inside was a Sailor Moon Doll. Her excitement couldn't be contained, and she grabbed Mamoru's hand as they ran to the machine, Usagi trying not to trip on her kimono in the process.
Her hands touched the glass, and her fingers the coin slot. "Mamo-chan, it's ten yen, I don't have any, can you lend me one?" . Mamoru knew when Usagi said 'lend', she really meant "I won't give it back" . He pressed the coin into her hands as the music from the machine started.
Usagi moved the claw side to side, but time was up before she was able to drop it! "MAMO-CHAN, IT CHEATED ME!" . She put out her hand for another coin, her eyes not even leaving the machine. Once again, she ran out of time. And this repeated about 12 more times.
"Usagi, you're 120 yen deep, isn't it time to quit? The toy's not worth it." . Usagi wasn't gonna give up that easy.
"EEK! I GOT IT! I GOT IT!"
Usagi slowly proceeded with the claw, only to drop the toy once again. "AUGH! MAMO-CHAN YOU SAW IT! I HAD THAT TOY!" . She was pretty mad by now. She jabbed in the other coin, failing once again. "Mamo-chan, I must get this toy, in the name of Sailor Moon!" She pumped her fist in the air, determined to get that toy.
"Usagi, the festivals closing up. Let's go home!" Mamoru had been slouched against the wall for the past hour, just watching Usagi. "And it'll be open tommorow!" .
"Usagi-chan, have you been here for the past hour?!". Rei's voice echoed in the alleyway, her hands on her hips, the others in pursuit of her. "We were supposed to help make the Japanese Yoyo's at the shrine, remember?! You totally stood us up!" . Usagi didn't listen to the nagging, once again pulling the claw and dropping the prize. "And Usagi-chan, those things are virtually impossible to win, they don't give the claw enough strength to pull the toy up, and that's how these machines make so much money. It's just a scam!". Ami's facts didn't stick with Usagi. To her, perseverence was stronger than facts. "And Mamoru-san is our ride home!" . Minako didn't want to be stuck outside much longer,even at night it was miserably humid. "Mako-chan, can't you just beak the thing for her?!" Rei pleaded. Makoto had had enough time outside too, and as she shattered the glass, Usagi's toy fell right out. "Umm...isn't this vandalism?" Ami quipped."More or less, ". Makoto rubbed her hand, picking up a Sailor Jupiter doll. "Aw, look you guys! There's a dollie version of me!" . "There's one of all of us!" . Even Mamoru got his own Tuxedo Mask.
"Aw, thank you Mamo-chan." Usagi gave him a small kiss on the cheek, and that was payback enough for him.
