HALLOWEEN MWA HA HA HA! Part II
Halloween 5:45 Mamoru's apartment
"Let me get changed!" Usagi said after they had stepped inside. She grabbed her mini backpack and went into the bathroom.
"Okay, I'll make some tea, I'm sure the others will want some when they get here." Mamoru went into the kitchen and put on the water., it didn't take very long, he was soon, walking into the living room five minutes later. Right after he set down the tea and looked up as Usagi stepped out of the bathroom.
:Blink Blink:
He stared at her for a second. At first it looked like she had dyed her fuku red. He looked again, the neck line was around her shoulders, it was long sleeved and red. It was stretchy material, not cotton, he noticed. It fit her… well, let's just it wasn't a loose fitting shirt. It had sparkly swirling patterns that matched the tights she was wearing. She had a red fuku stile skirt that was just as short as it, with a black whip connected to her side. High heels to match and blood red lipstick that matched her devil horns, which were right in front of her odangos. Lastly came the black cape with a red lining. (AN:No, I'm not being etchi, trust me, in my mind, they all look really cool(meaning the girls' outfits), I might even put up pix.)
:Blink Blink:
He stared at her for a couple of seconds, "You don't like it?" she asked. Liked it, he loved it! But he was her boyfriend… That made him recover her voice.
"You are not going outside like that!" He pointed a finger at her like he was her father. It wasn't a question. Bad idea…
"Oh, really?" She said defiantly. "And what makes you think you can stop me?" He took a couple of steps toward her 'that's a good question' he said to himself. "I'm your boyfriend and I'm telling you, you are not going out like that. Couldn't you be a rabbit or something, Sailormoon, anything! Why are you a devil of all things?"
She pouted, 'Wow, she looks good when she pouts like that… Stop it Mamoru, you cannot let her go out like that, she looks too good. Well maybe we could stay here… Arg! I have got to get her out of that outfit! No! I mean… um… Was I saying something? Oh, yeah.' "You're too young for that outfit!" He said loudly, he saw her resolve crumbling but the stubbornness stayed.
"As Sailor Moon I'm dressed like this all the time! You never complained before!" She said as an idea struck her, 'if I get him angry enough, maybe he'll say something stupid and I can guilt him into it' she wasn't exactly expecting this reaction.
"I'm not complaining." He said strangely.
"Then what's the problem?!" She yelled, she was trying to get him to say-
Without thinking he quickly retorted, "You're too young too young to look good!" Mamoru groaned as soon as he said it. 'Oops…'
'He sounded like he meant that, that wasn't what I thought he'd say, I was trying to provoke him but I didn't think…' She sniffed and turned away. "Oh, so, I'm too young for you? I knew that there was an age difference but I didn't think it bothered you." Tears pooled in her eyes as her shoulders bounced with quiet sobs.
"Usako, no… I didn't mean-" He walked toward her but she turned away again, causing her cape to unfasten and fall to the floor.
"So you just don't think I'm pretty? I'm so young and ugly I wouldn't be surprised if you did find someone else. It's okay, you deserve…" She couldn't continue she was holding in her sadness the lump in her throat was stopping her from breathing.
Right then, Mamoru hated himself, he had made her cry. "Usako, gomen nasai. I didn't mean what I said."
Her knees buckled and he rushed forward just in time to slide her gently to the ground. He sat behind her, put his arms around her and whispered in her ear. "I'm such a baka sometimes, ne? I'm sorry, you'll have to start calling me baka-chan instead of Mamo-chan."(AN:For you, baka-chan) He felt her shake and squeezed tighter, He saw her cry and got the wrong idea until she burst out in a fit of giggles.
"Not only are you tickling me, but the idea," :giggle: "of calling you baka-chan."
" Oh really?" He said, what ever had been squeezing his heart had stopped at the sound of her laugh. 'Keep laughing, you'll regret it soon.' He squeezed her ribs and she laughing uncontrollably, she started squirming.
"Mamo-chan! Onegai, dame! I can't breathe! Now you want me dead, ne?"
Mamoru panicked and stopped immediately, "Gomen, daijobu?"
She took a couple of deep breaths and turned around on her knees to face Momoru. "Will you come with us?" She asked, this was the perfect time. He opened his mouth, "Before you say anything, listen. There are so many reasons why you should come, I miss you and I want to spend as much time with you as I can," he looked away and opened his mouth again so she pressed a finger against his lips. " You love me, remember? You said you wouldn't leave me." She was counting them off on her other hand. "You really owe me for that remark you made." She looked in his eyes pleadingly, it made him feel guilty, he felt himself caving in- "Lastly, its really cold, I bet we could all use a ride…" she gave him a smile that melted his heart.
"Hey," he said, "that's why you walked." He said brushing a lock of hair behind her ear. He rethought her words, five raving teenagers in his rather expensive car scared him. But then he pictured Usagi, wandering around in the cold, in that outfit. Oh, gee, another reason he should go, he thought bitterly. He really, really, really felt too old to go trick or treating and he had no costume. He sighed, "Okay," he said.
Usagi lunged at him and pinned him down. "Yay!" She said, he gave an 'Oof!' "Arigato! Mamo-chan, Aisheteru!" She kissed him and got up on one knee.
Mamoru smiled evilly after she kissed him, 'if Seiya was still here, and she was wearing that outfit, I'd have to punch him…' He grabbed her arm and pulled her down, rolling over. Now he had her pinned.
"You are never wearing that again…" he whispered. He put a hand under her head and his arm under her waist.
"Doesn't matter, I used the Luna pen…" she managed before he kissed her. 'It's times like these when I'm glad Chibi-Usa's not here.' Their kisses deepened and she forgot what time it was, what day it was, where she was…
Halloween 6:02
"I hope he has tea ready." Minako said through chattering teeth.
"I hope the doors unlocked" said Makoto as she turned the handle and it opened.
"I hope Usagi convinced him to drive us, I don't want to walk through this cold all night." Rei said, Minako was the first through the door. She took a few steps and everyone stumbled in. Sure enough, there was Usagi and Mamoru, making out on the floor.
"I think she did, don't you?" Minako said. The girls stood there for a couple of seconds, unnoticed.
Makoto sighed, "I wish I had a boyfriend." She said dreamily.
"Me too." Both girls said at the same time. "How about on the count of three we yell 'Trick or Treat!'" Rei suggested quietly. The other girls nodded in agreement.
"One. Two. Three. TRICK OR TREAT!" That got the couple's attention. Mamoru practically jumped off Usagi. They were both beet red. Mamoru stood up and pulled up Usagi.
"You guys are early." Usagi said, she fixed her hair and picking up her cape. She glanced at Mamoru. His cheeks were normal but his ears were still pink. He was wiping off lipstick from on his mouth, around his mouth. She turned red again. She willed herself to calm down, not all of the blushing was because her friends had caught her and Mamoru. She looked at Mamoru again.
"Usagi-chan," Rei said with an evil look in her eyes, "we're a couple of minutes late." Usagi blushed furiously and glared at Rei.
Thankfully Mamoru cut in, "There's tea on the table." And suddenly Rei was no longer standing next to Usagi; she was drinking tea. Usagi met Mamoru's eyes, she looked annoyed at Rei and kind of disappointed that they had come. Then she shook her head, took a big breath and decided to enjoy herself.
"Good news, Mamo-chan said he'd drive us!" There was a chorus of arigato' s. Mamoru sat down next to Usagi.
"It's no problem. Where's Ami by the way?" He was hoping that the sane one of the group would help keep his car in one piece. At that moment Rei finished her tea and looked at Usagi.
"Usagi-chan! What are you wearing?" Just then everyone noticed everyone else's costume, the girls had been too cold and Usagi and Mamoru had been to flush to notice but everyone stood up now and admired each other. Mamoru slouched back in his chair and blushed again when he saw their costumes, or lack there of. 'Why me? This just isn't fair, what are people going to think with me running around town at night with four girls in very skimpy costumes? Oh, yeah, lucky him.'
A fight broke out between Usagi and Rei. "You change your costume Tsukino Usagi! I'm tired of looking like other people. Minako's costume is like mine too and since you obviously used the Luna pen you can change yours easily into something more fitting like a rabbit or something!" She waved her hand dismissively.
Usagi got very angry, "Why does everyone keep saying I should be a rabbit?! My name is Usagi! Princess Serenity, Sailormoon and just about whatever the hell you want to call me by now! That does not mean I have to dress like a four year old!"
"Why not? You act like one!" Uh-oh Mamoru could see where this was going. He was getting angry, they were both acting immature, how could Rei be so mean? She was lucky there was a knock at his door, he slipped away quickly, determined to stop Rei from hurting Usagi's feelings.
"Ami." He said, "Hi, come in, do you think you can stop them?" He implied to Rei and Usagi who were now yelling at the top of their lungs. Ami's eyes widened.
"How can you be so mean? I want to look like this and I'm not changing! You change!" She stuck her tongue out.
"Mamoru-san, you're letting her wear that? I'm surprised." Rei said. Mamoru might have agreed with her if he wasn't so angry and trying to calm himself down. Now Rei was dragging him into it and he had learned long ago that no matter how right some one is in an argument between girls to just shut up. Especially with Rei and Usagi. Because with them, at the last second they'll both turn their back on you, support each other and you're royally screwed.
A croak escaped his lips. Shimatta! 'Now I die.' He thought. During all this, Minako, Ami and Makoto were running around trying to get them to stop fighting. At this moment Usagi stormed into Mamoru's bedroom and locked herself in.
All the girls made noises of frustration. "You had to say something?" said Makoto, throwing her hands in the air.
"What's wrong with you?" Minako said. Momoru opened his mouth to argue. "You know exactly what you did, don't argue." I bit my lip. Damn, twice in one day. I was either extremely stupid or she was way oversensitive. Maybe it was a little of both, women were a mystery to me.
We all crowded around the door. It broke my heart to hear her sobbing openly. I heard an extremely muffled voice. "I knew it… I knew it."
They all looked at each other, "Well, who's going? Me or you?" Rei asked Mamoru. The others slowly backed away and started to talk quietly. Mamoru looked at Rei and saw real concern and guilt on her face.
"How about we both go?" Momoru suggested. Rei nodded. "Sou."
"Usako, let us in, okay? I'm asking you to let us in so we can talk… I wanna know if you're okay so please let us in." He said. He of course knew how to pick the lock but it'd be better if she let them in.
"I'm fine, give me a second." After a full minute she opened the door and stepped back. She looked very sad like she had been crying seconds before and tried to stop.
"Usako." He reached for her hand but she pulled away.
"Gomen nasai Mamo…" she couldn't decide whether he would want her to call him Mamo-chan. "chan. Rei-chan. I know I cry a lot, and I'm immature, I'm not tall or smart and I'm so sorry. I wish I was older and better… so… you… wouldn't… hate me!" She broke down in a fit of sobs.
"Usako, we don't hate, you, um" He didn't really say anything but, "We didn't mean what we said."
"Usagi-chan!" said Rei excitedly. "Don't cry, we'll have a good time! Look, we'll blow this town away! Two senshi devils in one night! And I'm sure Mako-chan will give you glitter, and Ami's here as well! Okay?"
Usagi wiped her face, "Okay!" Mamoru let out a breath he had been holding. They stood up and started walking out.
Ami was dressed in a shiny blue princess outfit. She wore a puffy plain dress with spaghetti straps with a white shawl and long blue gloves that went up most of her arm. She topped it off with little pearl earrings. Everyone fawned over her dress a while and she almost looked horrified at theirs. Then she got used to it and decided that they looked really good. Even Usagi, who was kind of out of character.
Then there was the war of the last ounce of body glitter. The only two that didn't have it were Ami and Usagi. Makoto ended up holding it above her head, out of the reach of maybe even Mamoru, not that he was one of the people fighting over it. He had a paper towel ready for whenever they smeared glitter on the furniture and rug. Single guys don't usually have clean apartments and he took pride it the fact that he was well organized and his apartment sparkled with cleanliness. Not. With. Glitter.
"Mamo-chan! What will you be? Oh, be Tuxedo Kamen!" Usagi started while the girls re-fixed her hair, did her nails and added glitter to her features, the same was being done to Ami.
Mamoru looked at Rei, "Um, Usako? I wasn't planning on dressing up. I'm too old to go trick or treating." He looked at the others. With this he got no help from anyone.
"You're never too old for Halloween! Don't be ridiculous!" And suddenly he was surrounded by teenage girls telling him you weren't too old for Halloween unless you stop making an effort to dress up, which he had. So after they left they stopped to get a King's crown and sceptor.
Hi! Minna-chan! Did you like it? It's getting funnier, ne? The really insane parts are still yet to come, they haven't even started yet!
