Notes: Here's the next chapter. This one does a lot of skipping around. Don't ask why. I just did this chapter like that. I won't do too many (if any) more like this. It's not my style. I . Was . Bored .
Chapter 5
Seiya stretched. Back in his normal Earth form after the strange events of the morning, he had gone off to find something to eat. Last he saw, Haruka and Yaten were...busy, and Taiki had gone to apologize to Usagi for giving her boyfriend a heart attack. He shook his head. Why couldn't his life be normal?
'Wait a second...' he thought. 'I can switch genders and I'm asking for a normal life? What kind of normal life? A girl's life? A boy's life?'
He sighed and walked down a crowded street, looking at the shops.
"Seiya!" a girl called. Michiru walked up.
"Shh!" he whispered to her. "Not too loud!"
"Sorry..." she smiled. "Whatcha doing?"
"Looking for something to eat." He said.
"Oh." Michiru said. The two walked in silence before turning to each other.
"What happened this morning?" they asked in unison. The laughed.
"Why were you a girl?" Michiru asked. "Don't you usually stay a guy here?"
"Yeah, I dunno." Seiya smiled. "What were you doing at our apartment?"
"Getting my recording devices." She said. "But I don't know why I stayed after that...I wasn't acting myself."
Seiya shrugged.
"None of us were." He said. Michiru nodded. They kept walking...
~~~~~
"...so I hope there isn't any long term problems, and if there are I'd be happy to help pay the medical bill..." Taiki was saying. "I really don't know what came over me...I should have broken it to him gently...I'm really sorry..."
Usagi looked faint.
"It's okay Taiki." She said. "I'm sure he'll be fine."
"But I'm really, really..."
~~~~~
"So..." Haruka said.
"So..." Yaten said. They were both staring at the empty yogurt container.
"Did you really need a new one?" Haruka asked slowly.
"Not really..." Yaten said.
~~~~~
...and walking, and walking, and walking...
~~~~~
"...really, really, really, really, really, really..."
~~~~~
"So..."
"So..."
~~~~~
...and walking, and walking, and walking...until they came to a nice café.
"Wanna?" Seiya asked.
"Sure." Michiru shrugged. They walked in.
~~~~~
"...really, really sorry." Taiki finished.
"It's really, really, really, really..." Usagi started.
~~~~~
"So..."
"So..."
"Wanna go swimming?"
"Sure. Where?"
"We have a pool."
"Okay."
~~~~~
"No we're not a couple." Seiya told a small group of girls. They all gave him their number and walked away.
"No we aren't a couple." Michiru told some cute guys. They gave her their numbers and left. Seiya looked at the huge pile of paper in front of him.
"Do they really think I can call them all?" he asked. Michiru looked at the napkins and paper in front of her. She shook her head.
"I really don't know."
"You know..." Seiya tried to see over the stacks. "It'd be a lot easier to talk to you, if I could see you."
"I know what you mean..." Michiru said, straining to see over the stacks as well.
~~~~~
"...really, really, really..."
~~~~~
"Oh I don't know, Haruka..."
"C'mon! I'll go with you."
"But Haruka...it's so high!"
"No it's not. The water won't hurt you either..."
"But I don't like heights!"
"Yaten. It's a diving board."
"But..."
"And not a very high one either. Wimp."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Fine..."
"I win!"
~~~~~
"That's better!" Seiya said as the last papers were pushed out the window. Michiru smiled.
"What'll you have?" a waitress asked. Seiya and Michiru looked at each other.
"Uh..."
~~~~~
"...really, really okay." Usagi finished. "So don't worry!"
"But..." Taiki said.
"Don't worry..."
"Are you sure?"
"Look. If it'll make you feel better, I'll send you the bill okay?"
"Okay."
"Want some tea?"
"No, I should go apologize to Mamoru." He got up and left. Usagi collapsed on the couch after seeing him off.
"Poor Mamo-chan..." she muttered, rubbing her temples.
~~~~~
"See that wasn't so bad!" Haruka smiled. Yaten was shaking in her arms.
"High...water...came so fast...!" she shuddered. Haruka sighed.
~~~~~
"I guess...I'll have, um, green tea." Michiru said. "And sashimi."
"What kind?" the waitress asked. Michiru pointed to one on her newly opened menu.
"I'll have coffee and, uh, french fries!" Seiya smiled.
"How would you like the coffee?"
"Black."
"Alright."
~~~~~
"I'm sorry about the whole phone thing." Taiki smiled. Mamoru smiled back.
"No problem." He said. "I overreacted. No biggie!"
"Great. Well, I should probably be going." Taiki said. Mamoru stood and walked with him to the door. As soon as he was outside Taiki grinned. He had only spent around three minutes in Mamoru's apartment. He made his apology quick, and to the point. With Usagi he had just tried to annoy her, to kind of get back at her for how annoying she had been when he first came to Earth.
~~~~~
"Wanna go off the high board?" Haruka smiled. Yaten squeaked and backed away.
"No!" she cried, scrambling away. Haruka grinned and followed her.
"Would you rather..."
~~~~~
"Have a nice night!" Seiya said. He and Michiru were on the Outer's front step.
"Thank you for a wonderful time!" Michiru said. She gave Seiya a peck on the cheek and walked inside. Seiya headed toward the bus stop.
"Haruka? Setsuna? Hotaru?" Michiru called. "I'm home!"
Hotaru raced down the stairs and tugged on Michiru's skirt.
"Come see!" she laughed. Michiru followed her up the stairs. They went into Setsuna's room. The older senshi was on her knees, on the bed, staring out the window. Hotaru joined her.
"What are you looking at?" Michiru asked, crawling up onto the bed and over to the window. "Oh my!"
~~~~~
"Mmmmmm...hey..." Yaten moaned. "Your roommates are watching us..."
"Are they?" Haruka purred. "Ohhh...I don't care..."
"Mmmmeeeee either..." Yaten leaned her head back. "Mm...do that again..."
"What...this?"
"Ohhhh yeahhhh..."
~~~~~
End chapter 5
*grins* Yeah...well. I know that this isn't one of my better chapters. Hence the unofficial chapter name 'boredom'. I was board out of my mind when I wrote this. My friend thinks that someone is in her kitchen. My other friend thinks I'm insane. So what do I do? Write a dull chapter to a...different story. So...review?
