"And this is what you did to me at EVERY school" Usagi yelled at the two marines standing in her living room "so the answer is No! Now, Can we please go?"
The two marines laughed as Usagi stormed pasted them "Yes ma'me" they both said saluting her
"Shove it!" she hissed as she slammed the hummer door
"Today's going to be an entertaining day" Seiya said smiling
Military Life
Chapter 11
Once at the FRG Usagi got out glaring at the two marines as they smiled at her.
"Hey" seiya said turning to the two Military men "remember not to-"
"Don't worry kid, we know" they said with a supporting smile, both Marines knew of Seiya's situation and understood why he was pretending to be someone he wasn't.
"Thanks" he whispered running after Usagi, after saying their goodbyes the teens stood in front of Coronal walker's wife, Mara, Seiya's mother
"Bunny my sweet, sweet girl how have you been?" Mara opened her arms as Usagi ran into them
"Fantastic now" Usagi said embracing the older woman "How have you been?"
"Just wonderful sweet heart, now where is that handsome son of mine?" She looked around the group, Seiya walked over smiling at his mother "Seiya dear, oh how I've missed you" she kissed his forehead lovingly
"I missed you too mother, but thank you for letting me stay with Bunny"
She waved her hand dismissing his thanks "don't even mention it dear, you know how much I love my sweet little bunny" she said touching Usagi's cheeks "Now let me get a look at my two children" Usagi and seiya stood side by side smiling "I swear you two make the most adorable couple" she gushed
Mamoru rolled his eyes
"Oh, mom I want you to meet our friends" Seiya said turning to the group "Rei, Ami, Makoto, Jed, Kunzite, Nephrite, Zoi" he stopped at Minako "this is Bunny's cousin Mina"
"I have heard so much about you, all of you….Mina, you must thank your mother for watching over my son and hopefully future daughter-in-law" she said winking at Usagi as Mamoru's hands formed into fist. Turning her gaze to Mamoru she smiled "and I think I've heard of you as well young man"
Mamoru was a little confused "your Mamoru Chiba right?" she asked as Mamoru nodded "My husband told me all about you and I must say he thinks quite highly of you"
"Thank you and it's very nice to meet you ma'me" Mamoru said with a bow of his head
"Now where is that lovely boyfriend of yours that I've heard so much about?"
Mamoru took a deep breath "he couldn't be here today" he said acting disappointed
"oh really? well don't be down dear, I have someone I would like for you to meet" she winked at seiya before turning to a young woman with shoulder length turquoise hair "Michiru dear" the turquoise haired woman walked over with a smile "I would like you to meet my son Seiya Walker and my future daughter-in-law" she sent a wink to Michiru, causing the beautiful woman to giggle "Usagi Tsukino, we call her Bunny, and their friends Mina, Rei, Mako, Moto, Jed, Kunzite, Nephrite, Zoi and this is Mamoru"
Michiru smiled as she turned her attention to Mamoru "So you're the infamous Chiba Mamoru I've heard so much about?"
Mamoru gulped and nodded not sure what was about to happen "Yes Ma'me"
"My brother has told me a lot about his boyfriend" she said smiling at seiya and then turned back to Mamoru
"Oh, dear did I forget…Michiru here is a top violinist, she was asked to play a piece in today's show…" Mara said "not only that but she has brought with her a very special guest…" at that moment a young teenage boy walked out smiling at the group
"Hey guys" he said winking at Seiya, who squeezed Usagi's hand in excitement "did I ever tell you about my sister being famous?" he asked nonchalantly
"Ken! I'm so happy you're here!" Usagi screamed as she ran over and hugged the young teen "Seiya is SUPER excited you're here!" she whispered in his ear
"Me too" he whispered back as he shot Seiya a smile
After everyone said their hellos, Ken stood next to Mamoru while Mara turned her attention back to the group "Thank you all so much for giving your time today" she said smiling with her arms around Usagi and seiya. Mara was a beautiful woman; you could tell seiya got his good looks from her. "Now let's see where you all fit in…They need someone in the kitchen"
"That would be Makoto" Usagi said as Makoto smiled brightly "she is going to attend culinary school in France this fall" Usagi announced proudly causing her Amazon friend to blush
"Fantastic this will be great training for you, our chef is the top chef in the Marine Corps" right then a tall woman dressed in a chef jacket and black and white checkered chef pants with her dark hair pulled back into a tight unmoving bun walked over "ah, and here is the woman herself, Staff Sgt. Simon"
"Ma'me, you asked for me?" Simon asked smiling
"Yes, this is Makoto; she is here to help you in the kitchen"
"Excellent ma'me, shall we go?" Simon asked turning to Makoto, who nodded excitedly
"Yes chef"
"Good answer" Simon replied smiling
After they left Mara turned back to the group of teens "okay, let's see where to put the rest of you"
"well, Rei and Ami can help with the box packing, Minako can help with the clothes donations, and Mamoru and his friends can help with the kids" Usagi pointed out as Mara smiled
"filling the boxes is a big job, your filling boxes to be shipped to the troop's over seas…each box will contain some entertainment, toilettes, snacks and other random items" Rei and Ami nodded as a young woman walked over with long green hair "Ladies I would like you to meet Suzan Johnson she is in charge of the mailing and packing of the supplies"
"It's nice to meet you ladies, shall we be going? There's ALOT of boxes that need to be filled and shipped" Suzan smiled sweetly at the two teens, Rei and Ami nodded giving their friends a hug before leaving
Once they were gone Usagi turned to Minako "Mimi, you will be helping with the clothing donations, people donate new and old clothes that go to military families in need…your job is to make sure the clothes they get are the right size and that the clothing is in good condition" Minako nodded as Michiru stepped up
"I'll take you there; I have some things to drop off"
Usagi smiled and thanked her as they walked away
Mara smiled at Usagi "Well you have everything figured out, what do you need me for?" Mara laughed as she smiled at Usagi "just like you mother" Usagi smiled as she nodded in appreciation "Anyway" Mara quickly whipped away a stray tear and smiled at the rest of the group "the rest of you go over to the children's area Kelsey will help you….Seiya and Ken why don't you two work back stage, do you mind Mamoru?" she asked with a smile as Mamoru shook his head "good" as she said this a 17 year old African American teen walked over to them.
Her skin was like coffee, her hair—which was very short with long bangs— was a deep red. Her eyes were a beautiful hazel; she was indeed a stunning young woman. She wore a black T-shirt with the word MARINES written across her well shaped chest, the Shirt was form fitting, hugging her nicely. On her long legs she wore a pair of light wash jeans and white tennis, on her arms she had two long arm bands that went from her elbows to her hands, they were both black
"NO WAY!" Kelsey screamed covering her mouth, she ran over to Usagi, who smiled brightly "BUNNY!" she screeched jumping up and down "girl I have been prayin' that you would be here!"
"I can't believe you're here KeKe!" Usagi smiled hugging her friend "guys I would like you to meet one of my good friends, Kelsey Richardson, her father is serving over with my dad right now"
"I am happy you two found each other, but don't forget be at the theatre by 2" Mara said with a smile as she left the small group with Seiya and Ken.
"Yes ma'me" Usagi and Kelsey said in unison
"Are you excited about the performance tonight?" Kelsey asked as she put her arm into Usagi's
"Of course, are the others here too?" Usagi asked
"Of course they are! Girl please, we wouldn't have missed reuniting the Super Sailors" She said seriously as the boys busted out laughing
"We were 9" Usagi yelled "we had this unnatural obsession with Sailor moon…." She shook her head and sighed "we really need a new name…"
"If I remember correctly…you were the one with the unnatural obsession…you even wore your hair in the same ridicules meatball hair styles….you always made me hungry" the two laughed "But for now, why don't you introduce me to these fine looking young men?" Kelsey said winking at the boys
"This is Mamoru Chiba" Mamoru smiled saying a hello as Usagi introduced him
"Very cute" she said smiling back and elbowing Usagi
"And very gay" Motoki added with a smile as the guys busted out laughing causing Mamoru to glare
"Why do the good lookin' ones always turn out playin' for the same team?" Kelsey whispered into Usagi's ear causing her to giggle and shrug
"He's not REALLY gay, I'll explain later" Usagi said winking at Mamoru
"Ah, Let me guess, poor guy got sucked into you and Seiya's twisted webs of desist?" she asked laughing as mamoru sadly nodded
"I'm Motoki Kino" Motoki jumped in with a twinkling eye
"Funny and charming I like that" she said winking back
"This is Zoi" Usagi introduced, as Zoi eyed the two worriedly
"Bunny why is that boy eyein' me …" Kelsey whispered keeping an eye on Zoi
"Oh he's just EXTREAMLY paranoid" Usagi said waving her hand "he's harmless"
"Okay if you say so…boy, go get yourself some Prozac or somethin' and calm the hell down!" Kelsey yelled as she saw Zoi fidget
"This is Jed" Usagi said taking a step back, Kelsey looked to her friend strangely what is she doin'?
Taking a deep breath Jed whispered "Blueberry"
Kelsey stared at him "excuse me?"
"I like you" he smiled at her as Kelsey shook his hand hesitantly, he smiled once again as Usagi stood next to her "ah…vanilla blue berries…mmmh….tasty"
Kelsey looked to Usagi "please don't ask" she whispered as she pushed Kelsey to Nephrite
"This is Nephi. He's very sweet" Usagi said
"It's nice to meet you my lady" Nephrite said kissing Kelsey hand and making her blush "and its nephrite please"
"Quite the gentleman" she said blushing as they moved on to Kunzite who was looking board
"And this is Kunzite" Usagi said as he kissed Usagi's hand
"Seems like Kunzite has a bit of a crush on you" Kelsey said with a wink "so you all are my helpers today huh?" the boys nodded "okay, these kids are a handful; do not let them run you over!" Kelsey warned
Kelsey led the boys to the children's area, as they stood outside the door they could hear a mixture between laughing, crying, screaming tantrums and well more yelling.
Kelsey handed each of the guys a stack of papers
"Okay, on these papers you are basically signing your life away" Usagi said handing each one of them a pen "we need to know everything about you"
"Why do you need to know my social?" Kunzite asked a bit hesitant
"Why must you know my parents names?" Nephrite asked
"Am I a US civilian?...but I'm japanese" Jed whispered
"What are your parent's occupations?" Mamoru mumbled
"How long have you lived at this address? If less than 7 years please write down address to fill the gap" Jed whispered again
"SEE! I told you their out to get us!! This is some governmental conspiracy isn't it?!" Zoi accused the two girls
"Oh great now he's paranoid about the government" Mamoru said rolling his eyes "it's not even our government"
"The reason for the questions aren't to do any harm to any of you, it's just to assure the children's safety" Usagi reassured "even we had to fill them out, even though they already had this information"
The guys nodded and filled out the sheets with little complaint, well not from Zoi, he complained the whole time. After a few moments they were done
"okay there are five different rooms" Kelsey began "the first room is our teen room 14-16, the second is our preteen room 10-13, the third is our kid room 5-9, the forth is our toddler room 2-4 and the last is our infant room 0-1"
"Who is good with babies?" Usagi asked
"I like babies" Jed said as Usagi and Kelsey both looked to him strangely
"What? They smell nice" he shrugged "and besides I have a 3 month old sister at home"
"Okay…but Mr. sniffin' man, please don't smell the babies…the mothers might find that…strange" Kelsey said as Jed nodded
"Motoki I think the toddler room is right for you" Usagi said as Motoki smiled and nodded as he fallowed Kelsey into the toddler room "Okay, now these last three rooms, you guys need to understand that some of these kids and teens, are….not exactly the nicest kids in town" she said "some of these kids and teens have lost their fathers or mothers, brothers or sister because of this war…so please…don't kill them"
Mamoru and the boys nodded "I'll take the 5-9 kids" Mamoru said with a shrug
"Great, that's actual the room I work in" Usagi said giving Mamoru a large smile "Then how about Kunzite you take the teens and Nepi you take the preteens" the two nodded as Kelsey came back to show Kunzite and Nephrite to their rooms
Taking his hand Usagi took Mamoru into the kid's room.
Entering the room a tall Marine with sandy blond hair and bright blue eyes walked over to Usagi picking her up "Kenco-chan I have missed you!" Mamoru glared at the man as he sat Usagi down
"Haruka!" Usagi smiled "what are you doing here?!" she yelled in excitement
"Got my orders a month ago" Haruka said with a smile "I'm stationed here"
"Why didn't you call?!" Usagi slapped her friend on the arm
Laughing Haruka shrugged "figured you would be here today, so thought I would surprise you"
"I'm surprised alright!" Usagi laughed as Mamoru Cleared his taught
"OH! Haruka this is Mamoru, Mamoru this is Haruka Ten'ou" Usagi introduced the two
The two shook hands but not in a friendly way
"Mamoru will be helping with the kids today" Usagi said cheerfully not noticing the tension between the two.
"Kenco, Hotaru is here today…" Haruka whispered
"Say no more, where is she?" Usagi asked concerned
"In the corner over there" Haruka pointed at a small girl about 5 year's old sitting alone in a dark corner of the room holding her legs to her chest
"I'll be back" Usagi said rushing to the child
The two stood by each other watching the kids and Usagi
"So you're Usagi's "Friend" ne?" Haruka asked
"Yes, I guess you can say that" Mamoru said standing next to Haruka
"I know that you're her boyfriend, and let me tell you if you hurt her I'll kill you" Haruka warned as Mamoru rolled his eyes "don't think I'm joking, the last guy to break my little Kenco's heart ended up with two broken legs"
They watched as Usagi pulled the little girl named Hotaru into her lap, brushing her short dark violet hair from her face. Usagi began to speak to her "Hotaru…I know this is hard for you honey…but you can't sit in the dark all day" Hotaru looked up into Usagi's Safire eyes as a tear fell.
"I miss him" she whispered "I want him back"
"Sweet heart I know you do, but your fathers watching over you from heaven now" Usagi said softly as she ran her fingers through the small girl's hair
"Why can't god just give him back?" she asked "I mean he has enough angels' right? So why can't he just give daddy back to me?"
"I wish it was that simple Hotaru, but it's not." Usagi took a deep breath "Remember my mommy?" Hotaru nodded
"She was pretty and very nice, she made the best cookies!" the little girl smiled big at the memory
"Well you know my mamma is one of those angels now too…" she took a deep breath closing her eyes for a moment "and as much as I want her back…I know she's safe and happy up in heaven…"
"You mean she's with my papa?" Hotaru asked wide eyed as Usagi nodded "Does that mean she's making papa her yummy cookies?"
Usagi giggled at the innocence of the question "I would suppose so" she answered
"Well that's good, papa loves cookies especially your mammas" taking a breath Hotaru stood up "I guess I'm okay with daddy being an angel as long as god keeps your mamma and my papa together…that way I know he's not alone"
Usagi smiled brightly "that makes me happy too" the two walked over hand in hand to Haruka and Mamoru. "Hotaru I would like you to meet my good friend Chiba Mamoru"
"Ooo-ooo Usagi-oniisan he's cute" she said out loud causing Mamoru to blush
Knelling down to her Usagi whispered in her ear "I think so too" standing back up a small blond headed child about the same age as Hotaru ran up smiling
"Hi my names Charity wanna play?" Hotaru looked up at Usagi who smiled and nodded
"I'll be back Usagi-oniisan!" the small girl yelled as she ran off with her new friend charity
At the same time Haruka began to yell at two little boys, 5 years old, starting to fight each other "Hey don't bit him! No! Hey hey! Put that doll down!"
Usagi laughed as she watched her friend run over to the two unruly boys
"So Usagi-oniisan" Mamoru mocked "what's up with the little girl?"
"Hotaru?" Mamoru nodded "oh, before my mother pasted her father was killed over in Iraq…she still has a tough time with it…he was American and her mother is Japanese, after he was killed they moved back here…her mother was one of my mother and Seiya's moms best friends…she's like a little sister to me" Usagi smiled as charity handed Hotaru a doll "her mother, even though she isn't military anymore, still volunteers…Hotaru doesn't have many friends so she's very lonely"
"Very sweet of you Usako" Mamoru said affectionately "now about Haruka? He seems….interesting"
"What about Haruka?"
"Did he really-"
"Break my ex-boyfriends two legs, yes" Usagi laughed when she saw Mamoru's shocked and frightened face "Haruka wasn't in the marines at time, and technically the guy wasn't my ex we weren't even dating he just wouldn't leave me alone" she continued to laugh as she added "Haruka only 19 Mamoru…she joined last year"
Missing the word she he asked "When did you meet him then?"
"when I lived in North Carolina my freshman year in high school, she was like my "protector" for some reason she's always treated me like a little sister" Usagi said with a shrug seeing the confused look on Mamoru face "what?"
"She?"
"Yea"
"You mean Haruka is female with" he places his hands on his chest imitating boobs, Usagi nodded as Mamoru whistled "wow…"
"Thought you had some competition there Mamoru?" Usagi laughed
Mamoru only blushed from embarrassment.
IN THE BABY ROOM
"Jed, was it?" asked a short red headed woman
"Yes" he said as he held a small infant in his arm "you smell nice baby" he smiled as the infant cooed
"My names Molly…Molly McBride" she said with a smile
Molly had short red wavy shoulder length hair and bright green eyes, she wore a Vintage white Marine tee with black leggings and jean shorts
Jed sniffed the air around her "you smell like oysters" he said causing Molly to stare at him in disgust "what?" Jed asked confused as she walked away
IN THE TODDLER ROOM
Motoki sat playing with some blocks as a group of 2-4 year olds played with him
"You're old" a little four year old boy announced
"Yea your olden" a little 2 year old girl repeated
"Well your young" Motoki said with a laugh
"Old people die" another four year old boy said
"Ha-ha your gonna die!" teased one of his fellow four year old friends
"Wow, you kids are heartless" he laughed
"Did you know, did you know that…that when you...You die the warms…they they eat your eyes" said a little boy with glasses
"EWWW! Joey tat nafte's!" yelled a little 3 year old girl
"Shut up Millie!" Joey yelled "little sister is SO ammoying!" Joey yelled as Motoki held the now crying Millie
"Hey it's not nice to treat your sister that way!" Motoki warned
"You have pennies and girls have a veggayna" a little 2 year old girl said smiling
"It's going to be a long day" Motoki mumbled as a young woman came up to him
"Hi Motoki, my name is Natasha" Natasha had long lavender hair that fell to her chest in layers as her bangs were held up in a mohok like style, she wore a RUN-DMC Twisted Back Tank with a cropped denim jacket with the word MARINE bedazzled on the back with denim shorts and black tennis
"Oh, hi" Motoki said standing up "these kids are something else" he said laughing
"Yes…quite imaginative and"
"Informative?" Motoki interrupted the two laughed as Natasha nodded
PRETEEN ROOM
"No see when you like a girl you can't just go up to her acting all sweet and innocent, you have to grab her attention" Nephrite said to a group of young preteen boys who sat around him, staring up at him as if he was some kind of god "use a good pick up line"
"Aren't pickup lines lame?" a 13 your old boy asked
"No way man, that's where it's at," Nephrite said trying to sound cool "look, use this one "Are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only ten I see! Or Excuse me, but you have a beep on your nose. : she said-What?: (Reach up and gently squeeze her nose) BEEP!"
"Wow" another 12 year old boy said as he quickly wrote down the lame pickup lines in a small notebook
"Please tell us more!" another preteen begged
"How about Hi, the voices in my head told me to come over and talk to you." And this is how it went on until Kelsey walked in, noticing the boys gathering around Nephrite she looked to the girls who were sitting across from the group rolling their eyes
"Jessica" Kelsey whispered to a small 13 year old blond "what's the boy's doin'?"
Jessica rolled her eyes "loser is over there teaching the boys lame pick up lines…god Ms. Kelsey no wonder boys are so retarded, look who's teaching them!"
Kelsey listened in as she heard the next line "If you were a booger I'd pick you first." Kelsey rolled her eyes as she watched the boys suck it all in "ladies let me give you a little advise, if a man ever used any of those lame pick up lines on you, RUN don't look back" She said laughing as the girls giggled
"Male: Hey, I don't feel too good. Female: Why? Male: I feel like I have an elephant in my stomach. Female: What? Male: (looking down) I think his truck is already sticking out." The boys started laughing as they began to write it down
Kelsey hearing the pickup line ran over to Nephrite and picked him up by his left ear, like a school teacher scolding a student "OUCH!" Nephrite whined as she pulled him away from the boys
"What the hell are you thinkin'?!" she hissed "you don't teach those boys those nasty inappropriate lines! What is wrong with you?!"
"They work" he said rubbing his ear "I think you caused me Permanente damage" he companied
"Oh I'll give you Permanente damage in your reproductive area!" she hissed "If I EVER catch you teachin my kids anything like that again I will personally make sure you never reproduce, do I make myself clear?!"
"Sorry" nephrite mumbled as he rubbed his ear
"Good now get the kids in line we need to head to the stage" she said walking way "I swear men are just the most aggravating, god teachin' I can't believe…." She mumbled as she walked to the girls
TEENROOM
"Wow it's never been this silent before, hi my name is Jessica Rockwell" Jessica was 17 years old with long raven hair that fell to the middle of her back, her eyes were a light baby blue. She wore a yellow floral dress with a camisole jacket with the word MARINES stitched in the back with sun kissed yellow sandals.
"Oh my" she said as she looked around "are they all sleeping?" she paused looking over at Kunzite, who was sitting quietly reading the news paper "are they breathing?" she asked apprehensively
She walked over to one of the 16 year olds and noticed a light red pinch mark on the back of his neck "what in the world" she looked to the next teen and noticed the same thing, as she looked around at the teens closer she turned quickly to Kunzite "what is this mark?!"
"They wouldn't shut up" he said shrugging his shoulders as he bit in to his apple
"You did this?!" she asked shocked
"Like I said, they wouldn't shut up" he said again not looking from his paper "they should be waking in a few moments" he said with no emotion,
Later the group of teens awoke.
"We-we have to get to the theatre…" the raven haired woman said as the teens walked over to her
"Okay" Kunzite said standing causing the group of teens to back away from him "Are we going?" he asked annoyed, the teens quickly exited the room with no comment or complaint
"That's the first time I've seen them run like that" he only walked away "okay….rude much" she growled as he chuckled
REI and Ami
"577 boxes done" she smiled
"And only 14,256 to go" Ami said sending her now frowning friend a smile "ah, come on Rei, it's for the men in uniform remember?"
"That's fine, but who ever decided it was good to send them these backstreet boys CD's must be on something" she said shaking her head
"I think it's sweet that they send a box to each marine" Ami said with a shrug "even if the music is a little questionable"
"Well all I know is, if I was overseas all I would want is an ice cold beer and a big fat cheese burger" The two turned to see Usagi smiling at them
"Hey usa" they said in unison
"Hey" she replied picking up some bars of soap and placing them in the boxes "how's it going?"
"Great, just 14,256 to go" Ami smiled
"Well I just wanted to stop by and say hi and see how you guys are doing" Usagi hugged her friend and headed to the clothing area
MINAKO
"Now, by just adding a few ruffles here you now have a piece which will rival Alessandro Dell'Acqua's creations"
The mother smiled at the blond teen thanking her as she walked away with her new top.
"Wow Mimi, pretty sweet" Usagi said as she walked over to her cousin "I didn't know you brought your sewing kit?"
"I travel nowhere without it" she replied holding up her hand held sewing machine "these clothes are just terrible, so I thought I would fix them up a bit"
"Mimi's spring collections" Usagi smiled "well at less the mothers are happy"
"Honestly Usa, these lady's are in dire need of a makeover" Minako shook her head "I mean over alls and over sides t-shits?" she made a disgusted sound as Usagi giggled "it's so, she's all that, you know before she became fashion forward"
Usagi only shook her head as she laughed "I need to check on Makoto"
MAKOTO
"Kino, I need the Chocolate "Pecan Pie" Bar Cookies!" Chef Simon yelled as Makoto ran to the oven
"Five more minutes chef" she announced
"How about those smoked salmon in caper sauce?"
"Their waiting in the walk chef"
"Where are you at Alexicia?" The chef asked the other helping teen
"just finishing up the white wine sauce chef"
"What are you starting now Kino?"
"The roasted tomato Salsa chef"
Usagi smiled as she watched her friend dice the roasted tomatoes like a pro "no need to bother her" she whispered as she quietly left the bustling kitchen
"Hey Bun's!" Usagi turned around and smiled as Seiya ran up to her "ready to practice?"
Usagi nodded as the two walked back stage.
