All characters from Sailor Moon belong to Takeuchi Naoko, I'm just borrowing them for awhile.
Naru stood staring at her best friend. She would be the first to tell you that Usagi had matured since middle school. Naru knew that Mamoru was leaving tomorrow. He was going halfway around the world, and wouldn't be home for a very long time. This would have been a complete tragedy for the younger Usagi, and she would have responded buy throwing fits and crying buckets. Yet Usagi had not broken down. No whining or crying at all. This was a sure sign that her friend was maturing into a dignified young lady.
And then there were times like this, when Naru saw the old Usagi coming out. Glancing around to see how many other students were staring at them, Naru sighed.
"Usagi-chan! It's not that big of a deal." She patted the bawling blonde on the back. Looking down at the ground, Naru almost gave into the urge to glare at the offending fallen chocolate bar. The edges were already melting, and Usagi's tears were turning into little chocolate rivers when they fell on the melted portion. Keeping her exasperation out of her voice Naru continued. "It's not that much of a tragedy Usagi-chan, we are going to lunch. I'm sure you have something great in your bento."
Usagi started crying harder. With a feeling of dread, Naru asked the question even though she feared the answer. "What did you bring for lunch, Usagi-chan?" As she feared, Usagi pointed a shaking finger at the chocolate bar on the ground.
Hiccuping slightly, Usagi spoke threw her tears, sniffing ans sobbing the entire time. "I was running late, and so was Mom. I didn't even have time to stop at the convenience store. I grabbed the chocolate out of my desk drawer. I planned on eating it at lunch, and then go to the Crown after school."
Closing her eyes briefly, Naru accepted that, for Usagi, this was bad. "Come on, I'm sure everyone will share part of their lunch. If not, I'll split mine with you, and then we can both eat at the Crown later."
Usagi raised her eyes up to her. They were shining with hope and gratitude. "Thanks, Naru-chan. I'll pay at the Crown."
"Done. Let's go eat." Both girls finished walking to their usual lunch spot.
