Chiba Mamoru stood outside the mall, waiting for his girlfriend to arrive. Today, they were going shopping together . Mamoru didn't really like shopping, but he would do anything to please his love. Even if, it meant wasting an afternoon, carrying bags around. Mamoru also felt guilty because they having spend much time together. Since, Usagi is college student and Mamoru is a medical student, they haven't had much time to be together.
"Mamo chan!" The sweet voice that he adored. Mamoru turned to his left, to find her walking towards him. He could smell the glorious perfume that she wore, heading in his direction. "Mamo chan?" said Usagi, as she waved her hand in his dazed face.
"Huh? Oh! Yeah, let's go." said Mamoru, grabbing her hand, they walk into the mall's entrance. After shopping for awhile, Usagi began to notice that, Mamoru was acting strange. "What's with you?" Mamoru tried to avoid the question. "Uh, Nothing. Let's go into this store." They entered into the pet store. "Why are we in here?" asked a confused Usagi.
"I need to buy some...Fish Food!" He takes off for the fish supplies, leaving Usagi by herself. The truth was that, Mamoru was planning to buy Usagi a gift for their anniversary, that was next week. However, he couldn't a way to look for a gift without Usagi being there. Every time he tried to sneak off, Usagi would look for him. This wasn't one of his brightest ideas.
Sneaking out of the pet store, Mamoru carefully walked to the jewelry store. "May I help you, sir?" asked a lady.
"Do you have any ideas for an anniversary present?" Mamoru told the lady. She went to the jewelry case, picked a bracelet and handed it to Mamoru. The gold bracelet was covered in diamonds, Usagi's favorite gem, and had a crescent moon in the middle. "This bracelet is perfect! How much is it?"
"Three hundred dollars."
"That much money? Do you have anything else?" asked Mamoru, looking through the other jewelry. "That's the half price and it's only available for this month only."
Mamoru didn't know what to do. He wanted to buy the bracelet for his Usako, but he couldn't afford it. "I'll come back later." Walking out of store, he finds a very angry, Usagi, standing in front of him. "Where have you been?!"
Watching the steam coming out of her ears, Mamoru tried to find an excuse, fast! Luckily, there was a flower stand next to him. Quickly grabbing the bouquet of flowers, he gives them to Usagi. "I was looking for some flowers for you!" said Mamoru, hoping that she bought it. "Mamo chan!" Smelling the flowers, she gives him a smile. "Let's get some lunch!" said Usagi, heading toward the food court.
"That was close!" Mamoru said to himself. Suddenly, he felt someone tapping his shoulder, turning around he finds a man standing there. "Ah, that will be ten dollars!"
"Of course!" said Mamoru, taking out his wallet.
Waiting for Mamoru at the food court, Usagi think about a little problem that she had. She didn't know if she should tell him. Suddenly, Usagi spots Minako, who's taking to Ami. Waving at them, Usagi signals them to come over. "Hi, Usagi!" said Minako.
"We didn't expect to see you here." said Ami. Looking at her closely, "There's something different about you."
"Ah...Hi, Ami chan. What are you doing here?"
"Oh, you know, looking around. Have you told him, yet?" said Minako, bluntly. Usagi began to sweat, not wanting to tell her. "No, not yet."
"Are you out of mind? You have to tell him!"
"It's not that easy!" said Usagi.
"Usako?"
Mamoru walked over to the table with Usagi, Minako and Ami. "What's going on?"
"Nothing, Mamo chan. Minako! Ami! I think it's time for you two to go."
"We were just leaving any ways." They both began to walk away. "Bye!" shouted Mamoru. When they were out of Usagi and Mamoru's distance, Ami began to become curious and asked Minako a question. "What does Usagi have to tell Mamoru"?
"You mean, she didn't tell you?"
After the date, Mamoru decided to seek advice from his friend, Motoki. At the Crown Arcade, Mamoru sees Motoki talking to a young girl in an apron. "Hey, Motoki! Whose's this?"
"This is my temporary worker, while I'm away."
Mamoru shakes her hand. "What's your name?" Motoki interrupts the girl and answers for her. "Her name is Suzuki Masako."
"Nice to meet you." said Masako.
"Motoki, I need to talk to you." said Mamoru, changing the conversation. "Sure, Masako, why don't you go clean some tables?" Masako nods and walks away.
"So, what do you want to talk about?"
"Do you know, where I can get three hundred dollars?"
"Why, do you need that much?"
"It's for a present for Usagi.It's our anniversary next week."
Motoki begins to think about it, while looking around the arcade. Finally, an idea popped into his mind. "I know! You can work here."
"What? Are you serious?" asked a shocked Mamoru.
"Yeah, while I'm away, you can work here. At the end of the week you should have the money."
"What about Masako?"
"Don't worry about, you can both work here."
Usagi went back to her apartment, which she shares with Minako. Looking into her bathroom room, she tries to find ways to tell him her big secret. "Mamo chan, I think I'm ..." Just then, the door opened in to living room. Walking out of the bathroom, Usagi finds Minako. "Did you tell him?"
Usagi looked down at the floor, Minako knew that she didn't. " Usagi, What's so hard saying, Mamo chan, I think I might be pregnant."
