Usagi spotted Makoto's head bobbing slightly above the crowd, followed by Minako's telltale red ribbon which was planted firmly into her long, golden hair. She didn't see Ami, and figured she was still at the library, probably taking yet another lunch period to be another thirty two chapters ahead of her classes. Usagi was dizzy just thinking of all the work.
Makoto shifted her bag to her other hand as she saw Usagi eyeing it voraciously. The sweet aroma of chocolate and walnuts sifted weakly from a small crack in her bag, and she closed it promptly, praying that Usagi's unusually extraordinary dog-like sense of smell wouldn't pick up on her secret.
"Hey, Mako. How was your last class?" Usagi's eyes glittered impatiently.
Makoto smiled sickeningly sweet. "Oh, fine, but I don't think you would really want to know what we did…" Makoto walked along slowly and mischievously.
Usagi narrowed her eyes and whined. "I wanna know what you DID, Mako!" She licked her lips and felt her stomach growl.
Makoto licked her lips. "Deeeelicious. First, we took out the frog's intestines, tied off the fat deposits, and then wrenched out the heart and tried not to spill too much of the guts on the floor because, you know, it gets slippery." Usagi's face had turned a nauseating shade of pale green as Mako walked along happily and Minako snickered quietly.
The three reached the large cafeteria, filled with hungry students and boisterous chatter from all sides. Usagi grabbed a tray and, obviously unaffected from Makoto's gruesome scene, began to fill her plate with junk food. Minako happily chattered to her out-of-her-mind self as she picked up sushi rolls, salad and miscellaneous items. Makoto picked up a soda and sat down, pulling her hidden treats out of her bag.
Usagi and Minako joined Makoto at the table, and they started into a long talk.
Usagi gobbled down her junk food as Minako relived her horrible class period with Makoto, who nodded sympathetically.
"I mean, I nearly choked up a lung or something!" Minako took a long swig from her soda, and then sighed. "But he's oh-so-dreamy, though…" She smiled crazily as Makoto looked at her like she had spoken Greek.
"Dreamy? Who the hell uses THAT word anymore?" Makoto laughed and threw a piece of brownie at Minako's hair. Minako looked shocked, then giggled and retaliated with a carrot stick flung at Mako's eye.
Usagi suddenly interrupted. "Guys, TOO MUCH GOOD FOOD IS GOING TO WASTE!" She picked up a soggy piece of mashed brownie with pieces of Minako's hair stuck through it and gobbled it down. Mako and Minako winced.
"Sick, Usagi-chan, just sick…" Minako gagged, pulling pieces of food out of her hair.
A loud clang from behind interrupted the silly chatter, as both large cafeteria doors were flung open with mighty force.
