Duet

Usagi has a school project where she has to sing but
she also needs a male counter part. Who will it be
and what will happen?
***
Three days had passed and Usagi hadn't called Motoki
or shown up at the arcade. She was too embarassed and
thought her singing voice was terrible.
After school she would always run home and lay on her
bed wondering why she had ever thought she could go
through with this. Today was no different.
"Usagi you must do this! Call him and practice
together. It will be easier for you to sing if you
have support." Luna said from her perch on the window
sill. Usagi lay face down on her bed.
"Oh, all right! At least it will save me from your
nagging!" She raced out of her room and downstairs to
the family room where the phone was. Picking it up
she quickly dialed the number and sat nervously as it
began to ring.
"Good Evening! You have reached the Furuhata household.
Unazuki speaking." A female voice came from the other
line. It was Motoki's sister.
"Hello Unazuki. This is Usagi. May I speak with Motoki
please?"
"One moment please!" Usagi heard the sound of the phone
being set down and could hear a muffled cry for Motoki.
Not long after the phone was lifted again and Motoki
answered. "Hello Usagi. I was wondering if you would
call or not."
The blonde frowned. Something was wrong with his voice.
"Hello Motoki. Is something wrong with your throat?"
"I'm not sure. I have to go to the doctor this
afternoon. I may not be able to sing for you Usagi."
He said with sorrow in his voice and Usagi immediately
felt sympathy.
"No. It's ok! Your health matters much more. You be
sure and give me call after your appointment and tell
me if I need to find someone else. Ok?" She said in
her best cheery voice.
"Ok. Thank you Usagi. You're really kind. I'll see
you later."
All that was left was a dialtone. Usagi sighed and
placed the phone back on the reciever. This sucked.
She stood and went to her room. "Well I should be
prepared in case I have to find someone else." She
sat on her bed and began a list of every guy she knew
who could be a replacement.
When she had finished it did not look good. There
were two choices. Yuuichirou and Mamoru. "I'm not
asking that concited jerk to help me on this! I'll
ask Rei to get Yuuichirou to do it for her. He'd do
anything for her."
Satisfied with herself she set the notepad down on her
bedside table and sighed. "If only Tuxedo Mask could
come. *That* would certainly boost my grade!" She
giggled at the thought and went into a daydream of
masks, top hats, and fine capes.

"Good Evening. You have reached the Tsukino household.
Kenji speaking. How may I help you?" Usagi's father
asked as he answered the phone.
Usagi could hear a female voice on the other line and
saw her father nod and reply. "Oh dear. I'll be sure to
tell her that. Good bye."
He set the phone down and turned to her. "Usagi a miss
Furuhata Unazuki called to inform you that her brother
cannot sing with you on your school project. The
doctor has ordered that he not speak for three weeks."
The blonde sighed but smiled. "Thank you papa." She
picked up the phone and dialed Rei's number. "Hello.
May I speak to Rei please? Hey! I need a favor. Well,
Motoki is ill and can't sing. I was wondering if you
could get Yuuichirou to sing with me. Do it myself?
But Rei! He'd do anything for you!" She sighed. Rei
would never change. "Ok! Ok! Never mind. See you
later." She set the phone back on the reciever.
"Dinner time!" Ikuko called to the house. Kenji and
Shingo raced to the dining room.
Usagi came in slowly and sat down. She picked at her
food and took a couple of bites. "I'm not that hungry.
Could I be excused?"
Everyone stopped eating and stared at her. Ikuko reached
a hand over to make sure she was feeling well. No
fever.
"If you really want to. Why don't you go to bed." Ikuko
said in her caring voice.
Usagi nodded and went to bed. It was going to be a long
day tomorrow. It would be Friday and she would have one
week to find a partner.
She sighed and turned on her bed falling into a
restless sleep. This was not good.
