The next day, the friends came in school with happy faces— except Makoto and Naru. They all sat together at a table, but Makoto and Naru sat away from each other. Usagi could tell that there was something wrong.

"Are you guys okay?" she asked.

Makoto crossed her arms in front of her chest. "...Yes," she said.

Naru looked away.

Usagi cocked her eyebrows. "What's wrong with Naru-chan and Mako-chan...?" She asked herself.

MAKOTO'S POV

Time seemed to go by fast for Makoto. It was already recess time and she was sitting on the swings alone. She looked down at the ground. "Maybe I should go say sorry to her..." She thought to herself. She thought she was alone until someone came over to her.

"Are you okay?" Said the voice.

Makoto looked up. It was Motoki. Makoto's face was turning a light shade of pink.

"Hi...hi Motoki-chan," She said in a small voice.

Motoki sat on the swing that was next to her. "Are you okay?" he asked once again.

"Well..." Makoto sighed. "Naru-chan and I got into a fight... I don't know if she will forgive me."

Motoki smiled. Then he started to laugh.

Makoto cocked an eyebrow. "What? What's so funny?"

Motoki finally controlled himself from laughing. "How could you of all kids get into a fight? I think that you are very smart and pretty. And Mako-chan..." Motoki paused. "I think you are a really nice person. You could never get into a fight with your friends." He smiled.

Makoto's face was now no longer just a shade of pink, but now fully red. She couldn't believe that those words were coming out of a little Kindergarten boy. "Th...thank you..." she said with a smile creeping on her face.

Motoki smiled. "No problem, Mako-chan."

NARU'S POV

Naru Osaka sat down on the cold ground at the playground. She watched all the children run and play. She sighed. "Should I say sorry to Makoto...? Was is even my fault?" she thought about this for a long time until Usagi came up to her.

"Are you okay, Naru-chan?" Usagi asked as she sat down next to her.

Naru didn't say anything.

"It's a little cold outside isn't it?" Usagi asked.

Naru nodded.

Usagi pouted. "Okay, are you and Mako-chan alright?"

Naru looked up at her. "Yes...! Maybe..." she sighed. "...No."

"What happened?" Usagi asked.

"Well, we were just working on our math sheet together and..." Naru trailed off.

"You got into a fight?"

"Yeah..."

"You know, Naru-chan," Usagi began. "You and Mako-chan are too nice to fight."

Naru blinked. "Really?"

Usagi smiled. "Yep!"

Naru smiled back. "Thank you!" her face fell. "But I'm scared to say that I'm sorry..."

"All you gotta do is go up to her and say 'I'm sorry Mako-chan' and then you're done!"

"But what if she doesn't forgive me...? What do I do then?" Naru asked.

"You know Makoto, Naru-chan," Usagi smiled. "You know that she will forgive you."

Naru smiled once again. "You're right, Usagi-chan!"

And with that, Naru ran off to find Makoto.

Naru finally arrived to the swings to find Makoto. She approached her slowly.

"Uh... Mako-chan...?" she asked.

Makoto slowly turned around. Her eyes widened as she saw who it was. "N... Naru-chan?"

"Um... Listen I just wanna say..." Naru gulped and looked back at Usagi. She was smiling and gave her a thumbs up. Naru looked back at Makoto.

"...I'm sorry."

Makoto smiled. "Me too. We won't fight like that ever again, okay?"

Naru nodded. "Right!"

Makoto smiled. She was happy they were friends again.

Soon it was lunch time and the six friends all sat together at a table. Usagi glanced over at Mamoru who was sitting next to Motoki. Usagi pouted.

"Mamoru hasn't really said anything to me..." she said slouching on the table.

"What do you mean?" Minako asked.

"Like... He doesn't really talk to me... like he used to."

"Don't worry, Usagi-chan! He's a boy, ya know," Minako said while taking a huge bite out of her sandwich. "He's probably just a little nervous in front of you." she said as pieces of her sandwich came flying out of her mouth. Rei, who sat next to her, was sticking her tongue out in disgust.

"Nervous? Why nervous?" Usagi asked while slurping her juice box.

"What I mean is boys always get nervous in front of girls, no matter who or what it is. They also get very shy too. Give Mamoru some time, and he'll be fine in front of you Usagi-chan!" Minako said this all in one sentence and she said it very fast. All the little friends stared at her.

"How... how do you... know all this stuff, Minako-chan...?" Rei asked.

"I don't even know myself," Minako giggled.

Usagi blinked. "Well, are you sure that Mamoru is okay with me?"

"Yep. Just give him time." Minako said.

"Well... okay," Usagi said. She looked at Mamoru one last time. "I hope Minako-chan's right..." she thought.
