Hello again guys and dolls! So have any of you watched the new Sailor Moon series "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal"? I watched the first episode (which is the only one out atm. Next one comes out Jul 15th) and tbh, it seems really good so far. I think it is going to be a lot more fast paced compared to the original series. The art work is oh gosh, beautiful. The voice actors are really good too. I'm pretty excited to see how the rest of it turns out. I hope the re do all five seasons for the new series!
Anyways, on with the chapter. :D
Recap: Usagi's friends were looking for her after she disappeared from them. She and Mamoru talked in a tree and then he talked to Rei. Now Usagi and Mamoru are on the way back to his apartment.
Mamoru plugged his ipod into the audio jack in his car and started blasting Paramore, one of his favorite bands, as the two of them drove home.
"I love this song." Usagi told him. He smirked at her statement. Of course he knew she did; he knew a lot about Usagi, but sometimes she was too slow to pick up on it.
"Is that so? I do too. Paramore has always been one of my favorites. God, Hayley Williams is super gorgeous and I would tap it if I could." He admitted truthfully. However, Usagi didn't seem to like him saying that. So glared over at him and gritted her teeth.
"Oh really? That's disgusting of you to say. She is a person, after all." She was angry at him for his remark. 'Pffft, as if she'd want anything to do with you, Mamoru. She's famous. She probably wouldn't want anything to do with anyone who isn't famous..' Usagi thought for a minute/ 'But, then again, I am also famous, well, Sailor Moon is famous. But I am Sailor Moon, so therefore I am famous!' She grinned at her logic. "She would probably only want someone famous, like me!" She fought back.
Mamoru laughed out loud at her response. "You?! You're not famous." He said, frowning a little bit. "Sailor Moon is famous, not Usagi Tsukino."
"But I AM Sailor Moon, therefore I am famous, it just isn't out in the open, that's all. It's like Batman with Bruce Wayne." She gleamed at her comeback.
Again, Mamoru laughed out loud. "You do realize that your logic fails because Bruce Wayne is famous since he is rich. You are not famous Usagi, only your alter ego is." He replied. Usagi could feel her blood boiling from his comment. She started to regret getting in the car with this jerk. She sighed because now she just felt stupid and embarrassed. It was like Mamoru's daily goal to make her feel this way.
"Why do you always do that?" She asked him.
"Do what?" He looked at her confused by what she said.
"Prove me wrong. Why do you always rain on my parade?" She looked up at him, searching for an answer.
He shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe I find it fun. Not to sounds mean, but I just like to tease you and mess with you a bit. I apologize if I upset you, Usagi." He said, his eyes locked onto her. She nodded, accepting his apology. His ipod shifted to a song by Fall Out Boy and Mamoru began to sing along.
'Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light'
"Do you know this song?" He asked her and she nodded. "Sing with me then!" In the background the second verse played under their conversation.
'We're the therapists pumping through your speakers
Delivering just what you need
We're well read and poised
"No way!" Usagi exclaimed at him.
We're the best boys
We're the chemists who've found the formula
To make your heart swell and burst
"Please, Usagi?" He asked her again.
No matter what they say, don't believe a word'
"Fine."
'Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it
I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie
Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
We're traveled like gypsies
Only with worse luck and far less gold
We're the kids you used to love
But then we grew old
We're the lifers here till the bitter end
Condemned from the start
Ashamed of the way
The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts
Cause I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie
Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
take our tears and put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
There's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
And there's another around to help us bend your trust
I've got a sunset in my veins
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay
The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie",
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up
So give in or just give up
Are we growing up or just going down?
Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light'
Usagi and Mamoru started laughing after they finished the song.
"You sing really well." Mamoru told her, smiling at her. She smiled back, and felt her cheeks turn a light shade of pink. "Well, we are here now." He told her as he pulled into his apartment buildings parking lot. The two of them got out of the small car and headed up to his room. He unlocked the door, allowing the blonde to enter his room.
"Welcome to my home." He said. She smiled at him. She looked all over his apartment. She walked throughout all the rooms to get acquainted with where she was staying.
She nodded at him, approving of his apartment. "It's really cute, Mamoru." He smiled at her. He liked how nice she could be. His thoughts kept racing about all the wonderful things he thought of her. "What do you want to do, Mamoru?" Her question caught him off guard and he snapped out of his own world.
"Well, I don't know. Are you hungry? I could cook something. What do you like?" He asked.
"Well, I like sweet foods." She answered his question. He put his hand on his chin, thinking of something he could feed her. "But, anything is fine right now." He nodded and opened the cupboard, pulling out a box of mac and cheese. He prepared the pot of water and let it sit to boil.
"Wanna dance to some music while we wait?"
"Sure!"
Mamoru hooked his ipod up and turned the play list back on.
It played songs from My Chemical Romance, Panic! At The Disco, Man Overboard, and blink-182. By the time they were tired of dancing the water was boiling and waiting to cook the pasta. Mamoru went back to the kitchen and started to cook the pasta. Two or three minutes later he came back and joined Usagi with two bowls of mac and cheese.
"Would you like a drink, Usagi?" Mamoru asked. She looked at him as she shoveled a spoonful of her food into her mouth.
"It defends…" she swallowed, "It depends. What is it?"
"What do you think it is?" He asked her. "Of course it is alcohol. You're 18, which makes you legal to drink it. Here, I'll surprise you with something, okay?" She didn't say anything as he got up to fetch the drinks. He came back with a glass of what appeared to be a soft drink.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Coke and rum. It's sweet and I think you'll like it." He told her. She glanced at the glass, skeptical of drinking it.
"You didn't drug it, right?" She asked, half joking, half being serious.
"Jesus Christ, Usagi. Why in the hell would I A) have drugs and B) drug you? Get your brain out of the gutter!" He told her. She smiled, happy to know she wasn't going to die. She pulled the glass to her mouth and took a drink of it. He watched as her eyes light up and a smile grew on her face. "You like it, I'm guessing." She nodded a lot at him. "Good! Now let's cheer!" The two raised their glasses. "To you, Usagi. Happy 18th birthday.
Clink.
Annnd end scene!
