Part XIV
"You can't park that thing here!" The parking attendant screamed at Haruka.
Haruka began to laugh as she tilted down her sunglasses and shot a grin to the guy. "You'd better watch it or I'll park this 'thing' right up your."
"Haruka! Come on, we have to meet Usagi." Michiru grabbed her arm and started leading her away.
"Hey!! Get back here!"
Haruka turned from the direction she was walking in and started with the guy again. "Have it cleaned and waxed for me when I get back!" She had her hands cupped around her mouth to shout to him.
Michiru gave the poor guy a smile and he got huge hearts in his eyes as he began to float in love. "You just have to be nice. You attract more with honey than vinegar!" She lectured Haruka.
"That guy can bite me!" Haruka didn't like to be told what to do, well not by anyone besides Michiru. "What time is her flight supposed to come in?"
"What?! You don't know? You were the one who was supposed to know that kind of thing, why did you say we had to leave for the airport right now?" Michiru was shocked to say the least. Haruka had just pulled her away from her painting to drag her to the airport and she didn't even know what time they were supposed to be there.
"I told you it was time to go because Kitten called me and told me her flight was in now." Haruka was walking determinedly towards the baggage claim.
"You mean she was already here and she's been waiting for us?!"
Haruka put her hand behind her head and laughed nervously. "H_A_R_U_K_A!" Usagi screamed from across the lobby.
"Hi Kitten." She was still laughing trying to ease Usagi's anger.
Haruka soon found herself with a face and arm full of luggage as Usagi threw her bags at her and walked along with Michiru. "Usagi what time did you tell Haruka your plan was coming in?"
Usagi thought to herself for a minute and then started laughing in much of the same manner as Haruka had just been. "Oops, I guess I never told her when my plane was coming in!" Michiru face faulted and Haruka just laughed.
When the three exited the airport they saw the same parking attendant from before waxing Haruka's car and cleaning the windows. Michiru smiled but Haruka almost threw Usagi's luggage at the poor guy. The attendant opened the door for Michiru to get in but Usagi just climbed in over the door. Once Michiru was in the attendant got down in a proposal position on one knee in front of Michiru and handed her a rose. Before the poor guy could get up Haruka smacked him in the face with Usagi's largest suitcase and pretended it was an accident as she put it in the back and drove away leaving the poor guy stunned on the ground with little stars floating around his head.
"Do you really think that was necessary?" Michiru asked Haruka once they got going. It was a nicer day then when Haruka had brought Usagi to the airport and therefore had the top down.
"What are you talking about?" Haruka began to play dumb. "I told you it was an accident!"
Usagi laughed from the back seat. Haruka shot Usagi a smile in the rearview mirror. Michiru turned around, having enough of Haruka she started a new conversation with Usagi. "How was Mamoru? Is he enjoying studying abroad?"
"Oh yeah, he loves it!" Usagi had a huge smile on her face. "He almost seems like a totally different person, and I don't mean that in a bad way. He's outgoing and more sociable than the Mamoru you knew."
"That's great Kitten!" Haruka didn't want to be left out of the conversation. "Hey, by the way did I tell you I found out who that little punk was that was trying to race us on the bike that one day when I dropped you off at the airport?"
"No, who?" Usagi brought herself up between the two front seats to hear Haruka a little better.
"It was that shit Seiya." Haruka got a very cocky look on her face as she brushed her nails against her shirt to polish them. "Ah yeah, I'm the greatest and now he knows!"
Michiru rolled her eyes. "Oh paallleease!"
"Speaking of Seiya, after I drop my luggage off at my house could you bring me over to his apartment. I wanted to see them."
"That's no problem." Michiru smiled back at her.
"What why would I want to go there?!" Haruka looked at Michiru instead of the road. Michiru's eyes went wide as she grabbed the wheel to keep them from going off the nearby cliff.
"God Haruka keep your eyes on the road!" Michiru moved herself back to her seat.
"How can I watch the road when I have a beautiful Michiru next to me?"
"Not now!" Michiru pointed at Usagi.
"I don't know why you can't just admit that you like him." Usagi was pushing the cuticles back in her nails but caught the death stare that Haruka was giving her. "What? I didn't mean like him like him, I meant like him like you know friends!" Her hands were quickly up in front of her to defend herself.
"I guess I don't mind him as much as I used to. All of the Starlights just get on my nerves. I just don't like those girls that dress and pretend to be guys."
Michiru cleared her throat quickly before holding a mirror up in front of Haruka. "What were you saying about girls that dress and pretend to be guys? I didn't see you correcting that girl that hit on you in the grocery store today."
"Well that's different!" Haruka was getting flustered and was glad that they finally reached Usagi's house.

"What? You got beef?" Yaten walked up to Taiki sticking his chest out.
The two were just coming out of their apartment and were waiting for the elevator down the hall. "You're pathetic, you know that?" Taiki was shaking his head at the shorter guy.
"All I'm saying is that if Wonder Woman had to wear that leotard all of the time she'd be flying over the city with a giant wedgy in an invisible jet and everyone would see her tan line! The damn thing wasn't supposed to be a thong!" Yaten was trying entirely way too hard to prove this irrelevant point. Taiki had to laugh at the stupidity of it all. "What the hell are you laughing at?"
"I can't believe that you're picking apart Wonder Woman's outfit when all of the men on the show wear tights anyway."
"I know, they obviously didn't have a good costume designer. I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing! They should have gone with something a little more like ours!" Just as Yaten finished his asinine statement the elevator doors opened and there stood Usagi.
The two Light's eyes went wide when they saw her. "Uh. Hi guys." She said stepping off of the elevator.
"U-Usagi. W-what are you doing here?" Taiki stammered.
"I just got back from America and thought I'd stop in a see Seiya. Is he home?" She asked looking down the hall.
"Um. No he isn't actually." Yaten answered very quickly trying to obstruct her view of their apartment door.
The elevator doors opened up and Taiki offered to let Usagi on first. "We were just going to see the others if you want to ride with us." He said with a bit of a nervous sweat to his brow.
Usagi sensed that something wasn't quite right and glanced down the hallway again to see what they were trying to keep her from. The Light's apartment door opened to let out a girl, a very attractive girl and then Seiya followed. They were laughing and talking but she couldn't make out what they were saying. When Seiya finished locking the door he threw his arm around the girl's shoulder and they walked down to the other end of the hall and around the corner.
"Woo. I thought for sure they were going to see us!" Yaten exclaimed.
"Who was that?. And what would it matter if they saw us or not?" Usagi asked confused.
"That was Seiya's new girlfriend. Cute huh? We actually didn't even set him up with her, he hooked up with her on his own." Yaten explained.
"But why would it have mattered it they saw us or not?" Usagi was impatient and the fact that Yaten wasn't helping her situation made her even more steamed.
"Seiya told us that he was over you, just to be sure we didn't want him to see you while he was with his girlfriend. He's been spending every free moment he has had with her, I think he really is finally over you and his little crush." Taiki said looking down the hall where the two had disappeared.
"That's great." Usagi choked out. 'His little crush?' Was that all she turned out to be? "You know what guys I'm actually pretty tired from my plane ride I think I'll just head home. Tell the others that I'll catch up with them later."
"Alright, see ya later!" Yaten yelled as he got on the elevator.
"Hey, wait! Hold that for us!" Taiki called after him.
"Not until you admit that I'm right!" Yaten was yelling through the small crack in the elevator doors.
"Small chance in hell!" Taiki said walking up to the doors which shut in his face just after he finished speaking to Yaten.
Usagi had to giggle at him despite her current situation. "Don't worry, there is another elevator."
"I know, that little twerp just gets on my nerves. Would you like a ride home? Yaten won't get very far. I have the keys!" Taiki indeed produces a set of keys from his pocket.
"No thanks, I think I'll just walk." They get on the elevator.
"I thought you just said you were tired though?"
"Do you have to read into everything?" Usagi was getting annoyed at the fact he wasn't letting her out of this. The elevator doors opened to show Yaten tapping his feet in the lobby.
"What took you so long?" He asked looking at his nails.
"Well if you had held the door for us we would have been here sooner huh?!" Taiki said right up in his face.
"You know what? I think I will take that ride home after all." Usagi said to Taiki as they exited the apartment building. Surprisingly Yaten was actually nice and let Usagi have shotgun. Usagi and Yaten waited on the other side of the car for Taiki to unlock the doors.
Taiki got in the car and only unlocked the passenger door. Yaten started banging on the window. "Hey, stupid you forgot to unlock my door."
Usagi and Taiki were already in and putting on their seatbelts. Yaten continued to bang while Taiki started the engine. "Are you going to let him in?" Usagi asked seeing Yaten get more and more frustrated through the glass.
"Nope, he needs some exercise." Taiki said as he put the car into gear and took off leaving Yaten on the curb. Usagi just laughed at his misfortune and never thought that Taiki had it in him.
Usagi found herself staring at Taiki. She was searching his face to see any similarities between himself and Chibi-Usa. She didn't see any but then she thought about it and didn't really see any similarities between Chibi-Usa and Mamoru either. It was a hopeless task.
The park was on the way from the Light's house to hers and they were just passing it when Usagi asked Taiki to pull over. "I don't really feel like going home now after all. I think I'll just walk around the park for a bit."
"Alright, I'll see you later. I think Rei was planning a dinner for you tonight to welcome you home. I'll have her call you or something, but if it was supposed to be a surprise don't tell them that I told you OK?"
"Alright." Usagi nodded her head and turned to walk away after shutting the car door.
A feeling of complete stupidity came over her as she realized she let the perfect guy slip through her fingers. 'That other girl is so lucky, I can't believe that I was that dense.' She continued walking through the park towards her house still thinking about the whole situation. 'I wonder if he writes in gold when he thinks about her?' As she finished this thought she started to break down and cry.
Usagi ran as fast as she could to the phone booth by the street. She needed to talk to some one, she needed them to tell her what to do, how to fix this. She got in the booth not even bothering to close the door behind her, put her calling card in and started dialing tons of numbers.
"Mamo?" Usagi cried into the phone.
"Usako? Is that you?"
"Yeah. I was too late."
"What do you mean? Why are you crying? What happened?" Mamoru was actually very scared for her. He knew that she had just gotten home a little while ago and couldn't understand what would upset her so quickly.
"It's. Seiya. He found some one else, he has a new girlfriend. it's not me." Usagi slumped down in the phone booth and continued to sob.
"Usako. Everything is alright. I'm sure it's probably just another set up from Yaten or Taiki, don't worry. Hey, if it makes you feel better, I'll always love you!"
"Thank you Mamo. I love you too." Just as Usagi wiped her tears away and spoke these words Seiya passed by the phone booth on his way home from his girlfriend's house.
'She still loves her Mamoru.' He thought to himself as he shoved his hands deeper in his pockets and continued on his way to his apartment.
Usagi hung up the phone, feeling a little better and headed home.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
"Where's Yaten?" Minako asked as Taiki walked in by himself.
Taiki got a devilish grin on his face as he sat down next to Ami. "He's on his way, I'm sure."
"Where's Seiya?" Rei asked as she knew that Minako wouldn't be interested in knowing where anyone but Yaten was.
"He's out with his girlfriend. Usagi, Yaten and I saw them leaving our apartment just before I came here." He explained while quickly solving one of Ami's super difficult math problems easily.
"Usagi's back already?" Makoto asked. "She must have come in on an earlier flight than what she told us so that we wouldn't be able to go and meet her."
"Maybe, but you know what's really weird?" Taiki looked up from the math problems to pay full attention to the group. "It seemed like Usagi got upset when she saw Seiya walk out with his girlfriend."
"Why would Usagi get upset from seeing that?" Rei asked. "She has Mamoru, she can't keep leading Seiya on."
"She wasn't leading him on." Ami broke into the conversation. "Usagi never did anything to lead Seiya on, she always told him that she would never date him and that she loved her Mamo!"
"Geesh, sorry Ami!" Rei apologized and backed away a bit. "It just came out, I wasn't trying to make her sound like that."
"I'll call Usagi's house and get the full scoop on it." Minako says as she picks up the phone. She dialed the numbers, waited a bit and began to speak. "Hello, is Usagi there?".. "Thank you anyway. Bye." She put the phone down. "Her mother says she dropped her bags off when she got home and then took off again."
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Usagi eventually got home and made her way up to her room. "Minako called for you a little while ago." Her mother shouted up the stairs.
"OK!" Usagi answered with no intention of calling her back. She couldn't tell anyone what happened. They would all just think how stupid she was for thinking that Seiya would wait for her and that she broke up with Mamoru.
"You can't park that thing here!" The parking attendant screamed at Haruka.
Haruka began to laugh as she tilted down her sunglasses and shot a grin to the guy. "You'd better watch it or I'll park this 'thing' right up your."
