A.N: Well, I was doing some reading and I got annoyed with how the girls were freaking size sixes…then I thought a bit about my size and anorexia and which of the senshi would be most susceptible…and this came about. Weird. May or may not be a one-shot.

A Perfect Size Eight

Minako's eyes lifted from the page of the book onto her stomach. It was a grey morning, one of those days when it looked like it should be cold so you wore winter clothes, then realised it was like 25 degrees Celsius and one of those days you longed for the pool. Minako had her windows closed to avoid looking at the degrading weather and lay on her bed, the top of her shoulders and her head supported by pillows. A quiet morning, she had music playing softly in the background; through in the distance you could hear the occasional bird call and truck rushing past. Artimas had gone somewhere earlier that morning, and with usually cat-like behaviour, the white cat may not return until it was time for his late-afternoon catnap. Her father sat in the kitchen; most likely fiddling around with his computer, her mother might have gone grocery shopping. Minako was relaxed, a bit tired but a peace with the world. There was only thing that was bothering her. Something the book she had been reading had been rambling about consistently. How skinny the girls in the book were. What perfect size sixes they were.

'I haven't been a 'perfect size eight' since grade seven…' Minako thought, reaching out and grabbing a bit of flab on her stomach. Before grade seven, Minako had always been 'a perfect size seven'. Puberty, she knew meant weight might develop in areas such as your hips and stuff so at the time, she hadn't been concerned about how much she was putting on. Minako wasn't the type to worry about her weight particularly; she was pretty skinny as it was, just not as skinny as she used to be. This was what bothered her. Since she was 13 years old, right through to now, when she was 16 and she'd become a size 12.

'Which is a really big jump…' Minako thought to herself. How the hell had the girls in the book been 'perfect size sixes'? Didn't that mean if the dropped down one more size they could almost be declared anorexic? If Minako was worried that 12 was too big, then size six…Minako shivered. Even when she had been size eight she and those around her, had thought her too skinny. Maybe that why she started eating more when she met Usagi? Usagi ate all the time, and always stayed the same size…

'So why did I put on weight?' Minako shivered. 'I want to be a size eight again…'


Please R&R, I don't know if I want to continue with this…
