~Usagi's POV~

I couldn't WAIT to get to the Arcade; usually it would be because of the hottie, Motoki, who worked there. At least that is what my friends think. No way would I actually tell them it was because of the guy who was SUPPOSED to be my archrival next to Rei. Mamoru. Just his name made me speed up my walk. I was dying to see him, his deep blue eyes, that had seemed cold at first glance, yet now I constantly find myself falling into if I don't catch myself. His raven black hair that always seems to have a bit that cover the left side of his face that makes my hand itch and twitch to sweep it back so I can stare into his eyes once more. His chiseled jaw that was an artists dream to capture...

'SNAP OUT OF IT USAGI!' I scolded myself mentally. 'We are not here to watch him today, I'm going today to talk about my trip with the girls!' I reprimanded myself.

'So what's the deal if I watch him at the same time?' My mind nagged at me quietly.

'So I won't pay attention and I might do something I'll regret. He'd laugh at me if I did something like I do in my dreams.' I said to that little part, even though I REALLY wanted to do things...'STOP IT USAGI!' my mind screamed again. I nodded mentally to this and walked in the arcade doors for the first time today.

There, just as I suspected was Mamoru, looking hot as ever. Wouldn't you just know it! I sighed though lookin' at him, lucky for me other girls were sighing, and if they see me they'd just assume I was fawning over Motoki. Like about 50% of the girls, I knew though too that many had a crush on Mamoru; the lofty college student who just MUST have a heart of cold beneath it's iron coating. At this though I walked calmly over to my friends, when a foot came out from one of the booths and tripped me.

One moment I was being graceful the next thing I know I was on the floor, or making contact with it at least and was being stared at by EVERYONE! They started laughing at me, thinking that this was just great fun. I felt my cheeks burn red, and so, I decided to be angry because people were laughing at me in front of Mamoru, who to my surprise I found closer. I stood now, growling at the person who had tripped me and for the first time really in my life I flipped. I must have taken on Rei's personality and powers because I was burning like an inferno.

I grabbed the guys' shirt and hauled him up from the table throwing him into the closest wall. He makes a satisfying 'THUMP!' as he hit it hard. I smiled evilly and noticed that the Arcade had gone quiet, I whispered in a deep and menacing way to the guy, knowing though that my voice would travel. "Listen to me you little piss ant, you baka. You should know better then to PURPOSLY trip someone 'cuse a person is likely to flip out and maybe do this..." I said as I punched him hard in the ribs hearing a few pops, "And this," I continued as I kneed him in the crotch. Making him go to his knees in front of me. I knew that all the guys in the room would have a little sympathy for him because of this move but I didn't care. I grabbed his collar again and lifted him off the ground, using the strength that I had managed to keep from showing around the other Scouts. I growled at the man again.

"Now you are going to listen and listen well. I can do WAY more damage to you then I have just demonstrated, and if you want me to keep from showing them and kicking your ass from here to Canada them you'll NEVER try any shit like that again. Do you understand?" I growled right in his face, I smiled as he nodded; then I set him down again and placed a pleased smile upon my features and turned around to walk to my group of friends when I heard something behind me.

The guy who tripped me had called me a name; that name: "Bitch". He even said it with a slight violent undertone, so I simply delivered a round house kick that landed on his jaw sending him to the ground once more, this time in an unconscious heap. That is, shortly after hearing a cracking sound, did I break his jaw? Little o' me? So then I decided to look at the spectators.

"I told him not to try it again, and I was having a bad day, emotional things you know." I said it as sweetly as possible, and chewed the inside of my cheek. I saw that one of the closest spectators was Mamoru, who seemed to wear a shocked and scared expression on his face for a second. Then a slight smile, then settled into his normal cold demeanor.

I walked now to where my group of friends had the table, or had been standing on top of it as the case may be seeing as they wanted to watch the show. They gave me a low whistle as I sat down, which was of approval it seemed of what I had done. They knew that I had a backbone now and that I would not tolerate people to walk all over me.

About half an hour later we had everything planned. We were going to 'Serene Lakes Camping Ground' two days hense, we had even used Miniko's cell phone to make the reservations for our site. We had choosen the place becayse of how much we like the water and the fact that Serene was close to Serenity. Okay so that was our princess's name. Wait, didn't I mention it? I happen to be a Princess, you all can bow to me later, anyways on I go.

They all told me to start packing right then having forced me out of the Arcade and from seeing Mamoru. 'damn them' i ended up cursing. Could I help it that he is hunk-o-licious? Nope, I can't. So having been forced out I did as they told me. Yeah yeah, so witht he day dreaming I spent most of my time doing as a result of seeing Mamoru caused me not to be done by dinner time. Which of course lead me to bed right after.

So waking up the next day, bags still unfished I rushed down the stairs to the kitchen to 'pig out' as Rei calls it. Though why she see's it as such is beyond me. I'm just not picky. Thats all. So about half way though a breakfast, or is it lunch? of 3 peaices french toast, a stack of pancakes, and 3 glasses of orange juice I was ready to pack again. Though somewhat grugingly. After all 2 weeks without mamoru, how was I going to survive?

2 hours, 7 day dreams, and 17 muffled and miffed remarks later all my stuff was packed that I needed for the trip. That left me 4 hours because I was going to bed at an early 8pm so as I could be up at the crack of dawn. Yuck, how I hate mornings. I decided to take a short nap in honor ofgetting it all done.

What seemed like seconds later I was rudely awakened by my alarm clock sounded and anouncing to the world that it was time for me to get ready to go camping. Iscreamed in shock when I realized it was about 6am the next day. "I have only been asleep for 2 minutes at least!" I screamed at no one in particular as I tore though the house in time to be prepared for the girls being there in about h....3 minutes.

At least that was what I thought until I heard the knock on the door. So like the hurried little camper I was, I grabbed my stuff, and left my hair down from my normal hair style so as to save me time.

And after a short hop into the van, and a trip to pick up Makoto we were on our way!

(A.N: I know this was short, and all but I'll do better. And if the next chapters take a while forgive me. Writting many stories at once here.)
