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?
***
"Momma? Yes. I'm over at Rei's. We're practicing for the
music test while I wait out the rain. Dinner? I'm going
to eat here. You're making pie!? Don't let daddy and
Shingo eat my piece please!! Ok. I promise. Ten o'clock.
Love you!" Usagi set the phone down on the reciever and
stared at it for a moment. It was one of those clear
plastic ones that light up when they ring. She hadn't
ever really seen one before.
Mamoru came in with some warmed towels and handed two of
them to her. On top of them were a large blue t-shirt
that said 'Save the Pelicans' on it and a black pair of
gym shorts. She laughed when she read the shirt.
He smiled and began to wipe his face off with a towel.
"It was Motoki's idea. It was fun but a little messy and
not very fulfilling. You can go change in the bathroom.
It's the first door on your left." He pointed towards
the hall and she smiled and went into the bathroom.
Mamoru picked up his own warmed clothes and towels and
went into his bedroom to change. It was nice having her
here, even if she did have to lie to her mother and miss
out on pie. "Maybe I should take her out for some
dessert. She'd like that."
Stepping back out into the hallway he noticed she was
still in the bathroom and could hear his hair dryer. He
smirked as he heard her fighting with the tangles in
her hair. "There's a brush in the third drawer to the
right." He said to the door and went into the kitchen to
make something for dinner.
Glancing down at the sink he noticed the rock cornish he
had defrosting. It wouldn't be enough for the two of
them. In fact.. nothing he had would be enough. Sighing
he picked up the phone book and began to flip through,
looking for delivery services.

Rei growled angrily as the phone rang. "I'm going to kill
the man who invented telephones that ring!!" She picked
it up and screeched a hello.
It was Usagi. She needed to make another alibi. Rei
couldn't stand being her friend's partner in crime but
was too tired to gripe about it.
"Yeah. Ok Usagi. I get the picture. Where are you
anyway?" She asked, not really caring but curious just
the same. The line went silent and she heard a small
mumble come from Usagi.
"What? Speak up!" She sighed and searched for that
asprin. Finding it she fought with the cap and finally
wrenched it open only to have the pills fly from the
bottle and land with a clatter on the floor.
"..mamoru's.." Usagi's voice came in a whisper as Rei
was bending to pick up the mess. She stopped and her
eyes went wide. -Usagi's at Mamoru's place?!-
"I have to call my mom. I'll see you tomorrow." Usagi
said and hung up the phone without waiting for Rei to
respond. The raven haired girl stood there listening to
the dial tone before standing, hanging up the phone, and
dragging herself to bed.
Her feet crushed the asprin into powder beneath her but
she didn't care. This was some serious news and she
needed to be alert tomorrow to get every juicy bit of
gossip!
***
Usagi stared at the brush for a bit. It was a very old
horsehair brush that was great for people with extremely
fine hair. She wondered if Mamoru had fine hair.
Blushing she sighed and began to brush through her hair,
starting at the bottom and working her way up. -You
shouldn't be thinking like that Usagi!
She sighed and continued to stroke through her hair
until it was as dry as it could be but tangle free. She
opened the door and glanced around nervously before
walking out into the hallway.
Walking into the living room she could see Mamoru looking
into a phone book. A grin formed on her face as she
tried to creep up behind him and frighten him. Just as
she was about to tickle his sides he spoke up.
"So what do you want to eat?"
Food! That was something she could definetly use right
now. Nutrition is always good and keeping enough energy
to stay happy AND pretty wasn't easy!
"Oh.. how about pizza?! Can we? Pleeeeaaase?"
He laughed when she begged like that and turned to smile
at her. "Of course we can Usagi. What would you like on
the pizza?"
"How about extra cheese, pepperoni, and black olives?"
She said and glanced up at him only to notice him
staring at her hair.
"I've never seen your hair down like that before. It's
nice." He took the phone book and went into the living
room to order the pizza leaving a blushing Usagi in the
kitchen.
