Michiru: Not the vase, not the vase, not the vase, NOT THE… vase.
Setsuna: Whoopee! *Sticks tongue out* Ha! In your face, cucumbers!
Haruka: Oh, %$# ... She really liked that vase… I'm dead.
End of ze flashback
Me and Papa moaned in perfect two-part harmony. Saddled with babysitting duty of Miss Hungover while Michiru-mama went shopping to clear her head. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.
Meanwhile, we could hear said person with hangover praying to the porcelain god, aka the toilet. Lovely. Just lovely.` And we were supposed to host Usagi's party today… wonderful. Of course, this put Haruka-papa in an even worse mood than before, because Setsuna-mama was supposed to buy decorations and cake and the such… but she was drunk last night. And now Haruka has to. She hates shopping.
A few hours later…
Mama was asleep on the couch, remote in hand. She was watching, of all things, Pretty Little Liars. And they were just about to figure out who A was. It was kind of strange, but… well… Setsuna-mama is Setsuna-mama… and she was hungover. I sat down beside her and looked at the clock. Oh no. Nonononononono. It was 3:30 pm. Usagi's surprise party was at 5. And Mama Michiru was still out. Well, desperate times called for desperate measures, right? There went nothing.
"SETSUNA-MAMA! YOU NEED TO STOP TIME!"
Haruka-papa rushed down the stairs, henshin wand in hand. Mama shot upright and punched Papa in the face. She has a mean right hook. Right in the nose. Ow.
"HOTARU, WHAT IN THE NAME OF POTATOES DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!" They both screamed in unison.
In answer, I pointed to the clock.
"KAMI-SAMA!" Came the screams.
And so they rushed around the house chibi-style, preparing for Usagi's arrival.
Party streamers, a cake with a bunny on it, and lots of confetti. Ta-da! Instant party!
Setsuna sat down and grabbed a bottle of wine. She began to pour herself a glass, but Papa stopped her. She grabbed it, put it back, and grabbed a bottle of whiskey and two shot glasses.
She poured herself a drink and handed another to Mama.
Oh no… Not again.
Yup, that's it! Next time on Hotaru's Guide:
A strange man is hobbling around the arena where Papa races, trying to hit on Michiru-mama! What should I do? I knew this was a bad idea… And what the heck's going on with Weissu-Weissu the goldfish? Find out next time on… Hotaru's Guide!
