The next day Usagi found herself in the arcade alone. There were several reasons why she was alone. One Kevin left last night back to America because something had gone wrong. Two Jason was out searching for girls with Luna as his bait. Three Zack and Nathan were at work. And four it was 7 am on a Saturday. Good reasons for why she was alone and bored out of her mind. "You look bored." Usagi looked up to see Minako, Rei and Makoto. It was Minako who spoke. Rei asked, "Mind if we join you?" Usagi kindly shook her head. The three girls slid into the seat across from her. Usagi asked, "what bring you all here this early." Minako stated, "We're meeting a friend." Usagi nodded and sipped her shake. Minako stated, "I can't believe your Usagi Tsuki." Rei smacked Minako on the head, "don't be so rude." Usagi smiled, "it's alright. I'm used to it. A lot of people don't believe I'm her. I guess because I look so childish." Makoto stated, "but what do they expect. You're like only 15. You should try and have more fun. You deserve ten months of vacation. From what I've heard about you in the news." Usagi sighed, "I don't do that much. The people who work for me do a lot more than I." Minako shook her head. "Uh, uh. You design the clothes and make the first copy. It's your creative work that makes the money." Usagi blushed, "thanks." Rei asked, "so how long are you staying here?" Usagi replied, "not very long. For about a month." Rei slumped in her seat. Minako grinned, "Is that one of your outfits?" Usagi nodded. She wore a pink shirt with puffy short sleeves. Over that, was an orange jumper, with thin straps, and a flaring, short skirt. On her feet were pink socks with white tennis shoes. Usagi replied, "Yeah it was one of my first." Makoto wore a loose fitting green shirt with the sleeves that reached to her elbows, with a black collar folded down. She also wore a pair of light blue jeans. Her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail. Rei wore black stretch pants that stopped short before her ankles, with a stripped orange and red shirt that fell off her shoulders. Her hair was kept down. Minako wore an orange dress that fell past her knees, and a white belt around her waist. She wore a yellow hat that held flowers on it. Rei asked, "do you want to go for a walk and we can give a free tour of the city." Usagi shook her head, slightly, "No thank you." Usagi felt that strange feeling again. "Hey girls." Usagi's head shot up to see Mamoru. He wore a pair of black pants with a belt, and a black shoulder sleeve shirt. His hair was darker than usual. He also had on a pair of black shades that hid his dark blue eyes. Rei grinned, "Hey Mamoru. It's about time." Mamoru slightly smiled but then his eyes fell on Usagi. Usagi was sipping her shake trying to avoid eye contact. "Mind if I sit?" Minako blurted out, "of course not." Mamoru sat down next to Usagi. Usagi gave him a shy smile. Minako looked at the two in front of her and smiled. "Hey looked at the time. The girls and I have to go shopping." She stood as Makoto asked, "what but we..." Rei got the idea and stated, "oh yeah for uh grandpa's birthday." Minako nodded. Makoto stated, "you never told me it was..." Two hands covering her mouth cutting her off. "Now, now Mako chan. Don't be so naïve." The two girls drug Makoto out of the arcade. Usagi stared after them. "Strange..." Mamoru slid off his shades, "you can say that twice. I've been a friend with them for two years." Mamoru stood and sat down across from her. Usagi looked up at him. I'm sorry about the other day. I didn't mean to embarrass you." Mamoru shook his head, "no problem. Haruka told me yesterday you were sorry. You had a good reason to be happy." Usagi smiled, "yeah it was good news." Mamoru asked, "so why are you here of all places?" Usagi shrugged, "I don't know. I'm on vacation and I picked Tokyo. I felt like I needed to be here, I guess. Does that sound strange?" Mamoru shook his head. "Not one bit. Hey do you want to go get a bite to eat?" Usagi tilted her head, "Yeah that sounds nice." Mamoru smiled and stood. "Than let get us some food and take a walk to the lake." Usagi stood and said, "That would be great."
