The school bell ringing pulled Usagi out of her day dream. What could be better than thinking of Tuxedo Mask? Well maybe Tuxedo Mask beating up Mamoru. That would be a sight to see!

"Oh shoot! I forgot to tell mom that I would be spending all day with Mamoru. Oops! I mean a friend. Dad would kill me if he knew that I was spending all day with a guy." Usagi thought aloud. She made a mad dash to the nearest pay phone. Everyone she passed thought she looked like she was possessed. Usagi was relieved to see that no one was using it. She picked up the phone and dialed her home.

"Come on mom. Pick up the phone." Usagi said tapping her foot up and down.

"Hello. Tsukino residence."

"Hi mom this is Usagi." 'thank goodness she's home. Who knows what I would have done if she wasn't.'

"Hi Usagi. What are you calling home for?" She sounded a little confused and worried.

"Don't worry Mom, there is nothing wrong it's just that I forgot to tell you that I'm go be spending this afternoon with a friend of mine" Usagi half lied. She didn't like lying but for her sake and Mamoru's if was worth it, maybe not Mamoru's but if her dad knew she would be alone with a guy older than her who knows what could happen.

"Ok Usagi, but don't be out past 10:00 or you can't do anything on Saturday," Ikuko threatened. Usagi gulped she was one to know that the threats weren't idle ones.

"Don't mom I'll be home by them. Bye!"

"Bye Dear." Usagi hung up. 'This might be easier than I thought.' she thought to herself and ran off so that Mamoru wouldn't have to wait very long for her.

outside Juuban Middle School.....



'Where is she? School has been out for twenty minutes and she isn't out here.' Mamoru shook his head somewhat violently trying to get all of the thoughts of doubt out of his head.

"Mamoru!" Mamoru turned his head to the direction Usagi was calling his name. She was running towards him.

"Sorry I'm a little late." Usagi called out as soon as she was close enough to speak with out having to yell. "I forgot to tell my mom that I wouldn't be coming home right after school so I had to call her." She continued on, slightly gasping for breath.

"Don't worry I didn't wait long" Mamoru lied 'Ok so I came a half hour early, but she doesn't need to know that.' Mamoru motioned to the passenger side of his red convertible.(AN: I Don't know if he really has one but he does now.)

"Hop in." Usagi walked over and stood in front of the passengers door. Mamoru looked at Usagi strangely when she didn't open the door and get in the car.

"Is something wrong Usagi?" Mamoru questioned.

"There's nothing wrong." was her reply. Usagi just continued to stand where she was, making no hint of moving. After a few minutes Mamoru finally got up and walked around the car. Usagi started to smile as he opened her door. 'Ha ha! I knew he would open the door for me if I just waited long enough. 'Usagi thought to herself.

"Is there anywhere you would like to go?" Mamoru asked. Usagi face faulted. (AN: don't ask me how she can do this in car 'cause I don't know)

"You were the one who got me! That means that you get the responsibility of planning the 'date'!" Usagi exclaimed.

"Seesh! You don't need to bite my head off. I was just wondering if there was any certain place you would like to go."

"Well now that you put it that way..." Usagi started formulating mean plans in her head. "We should go to the mall so that I can get I new dress for the dance. Then I want to go to the park because the ducks at the pond there should be having their babies soon. Well that's all I can think of now so lets head down to the mall."

"Ok, lets go then." was all that he could reply. He had heard from Motoki how long it took when girls went shopping. Then there was the dreaded question 'Does this make me look fat?' You say no they say your lying, you say yes they slap you.

The short car ride to the mall was driven in silence. Mamoru dreading every second of it. Usagi on the other hand had a evil smirk on her face trying to think of any other possible way to make Mamoru wish he hadn't been mean to her. Once they had finally found a parking spot they entered into the mall.

"Which store do you want to go to?" Mamoru asked.

"Oh I think that I want to go to A+A" Usagi stated as if it were no big deal. Mamoru's eyes bulged at the name of the store. (AN: and a certain beta-reader's eyes join his in bulging)

"You mean Ane (AN: pronounced Anna) and Anders (AN: the name has nothing to do with Ann and Alan) isn't that a *very* expensive store?" Mamoru bearably choked out still beingin major shock that Usagi would want to go there.

"You think that I don't have enough money don't you." Usagi retorted.

"Huh?" Usagi's snap back at him had him in surprise including the fact that she had read his thoughts perfectly.

"Just because I spend a lot of my money at the arcade doesn't mean that I don't save any!" and with that Usagi stormed of in the direction of A+A leaving Mamoru standing right where he was. As Usagi was about to turn a corner a man in all black bumped into her sending them both to the ground. Not even bothering to help her up the man got up and ran.

"Stop that man!" a woman shouted as she neared the corner that Usagi was still sitting at. "He's a thief!" hearing this Mamoru made a mad dash after the thief.
