Yaaay! Sorry for the wait, but this chapter is finally up! Enjoy!


"Oh… I wish I hadn't spent all my allowance already. I really feel like playing a game or two."

Usagi Tsukino stared longingly through the glass of the arcade doors, eyeing the formula one and Sailor V games.
"Oh well. I may as well go in. It's not like I have anything interesting to do." She sighed, thinking to herself, 'although mum will not be impressed with the score of my latest test.' with a groan she looked down at the piece of paper in her hand, which had a big red 'F' at the top. There was also a short note from the teacher. 'Please, study harder!' it said.

Moodily she walked into the arcade and sat down on the nearest chair. The arcade was empty at the moment, so it was quiet aside from the occasional beep of machines. Usagi looked again at the test in her hands. Why, oh why did she find it so hard to study? Her mouth became a sad frown. A light voice from in front of her rang out, slightly teasing. "Why the unhappy face, odango-atama?" it asked, laughter evident in its tone. "Don't call me that." She sighed, not even having enough will to get angry. "What's wrong? Here, perhaps this will make you feel better." The voice said.

Usagi looked up in confusion. It wasn't the baka, also known as Mamoru, so who was it?

A young teen, around her age, dressed in simple jeans and a dark grey t-shirt stood before her, hand held out. Her smooth tanned face was smiling down at Usagi, a few strands of bronze hair loose across her forehead. The surprised blonde finally looked down at the object enclosed in the long, slim fingers of the girl, and seeing that it was a small fluffy rabbit toy, allowed her lips to curve upwards slightly.
"Here, I don't really need it, and you look like you need cheering up, so take it." Her slightly husky alto voice had an almost lilting tone to it.
"Are you sure?" The blonde gazed up at the tall figure, easily forgetting her test result.
"Of course. What, do you want me to say 'Oh actually I think I'll keep it?' Should I keep it then?" she asked with a laugh.
"Well… Thank you?" Usagi beamed at the girl, who gently placed the toy in her hand, before giving a little wave.
"I've got to go now, take care Odango-atama."

The tall girl walked out of the arcade, thin bronze plaits of her hair swaying slightly. Watching her make her way out, Usagi blinked at image on the back of her grey shirt. For some reason, though it struck a chord at the very back of her memory, she couldn't answer why. For marked on the back of the girl's shirt was a beautiful pair of silver wings.
