Title: The Clash
Author: Usagirl
A/N: It took me awhile but next chapter is up. The next few chapters may be kind of short. Sorry. Hope you like this new chapter. I know I am kind of stretching the personality of some of the characters but it has to be done.
'I cannot believe I agreed to go. Stupid stupid stupid.....' Mamoru was knocked out of his thoughts. Someone had bumped into him.
"I am so so so so soooooo sorry." Usagi breathless voice squeaked. Her tirade of apologizes stopped when Mamoru laughed. "Oh it's you." With that she started to walk away.
"Odango stop."
"What did you call me?" Usagi asked in an icy tone. 'She has never used that tone of voice with me ' He felt as pain inside his chest.
"Odango... I mean Usagi can I talk to you?" Usagi looked at him dubiously.
"Why?"
"I just need to talk to you." Usagi got a panicked look 'I hope he isn't going to tell me to leave him alone I gotta get out of here.'
"I'm sorry Mamoru but I am about to be late for school." With that said she ran off.
Mamoru watched as she ran down the street. A strange empty feeling engulfed him. And there was a question that kept running through his mind. 'Was she avoiding me?' Mamoru smacked himself up against the head.
"Of course she is avoiding you. You still haven't apologized yet. I'll do the next time I see her.." He said to himself. Then something struck him. "The girls didn't have school today now I KNOW she is avoiding me!" With that exclamation he noticed people were starting to stare. 'How come she is the only one who can make me lose my cool?' Mamoru thought to himself. He started home to get ready for the Masquerade ball.
Rei's Temple
The temple was at peace, everything was calm and quiet and relax....
*CRASH*
"No those are my shoes!"
"But Rei they go with my dress." Minako whined.
"Rei why don't you wear these ones and Minako can wear those." Makoto said.
"All right," Rei said grudgingly.
"Yeah!" Minako shouted. After the shoe settlement was over the girls finished getting ready. Rei was in a fire red dress that had no sleeves a tight bodice and the shirt flared out below the thigh. She wore bright red lipstick and her eyes were covered by A red sparkly kamen that just covered her eyes.
"Hey Rei what are you supposed to be?"
"I am a flame."
"You get that right Pyro," Makoto chirped. She wore a forest green dress with leaf print. The neckline plunged to just above her breast and the skirt went all the way to her feet. Her hair was let done out of her usual ponytail and has pink roses in her hair. And she wore a rose pink mask that covered half of her face..
"Oh yeah and what are you supposed to be."
"I am a rose." Makoto said smugly. "Hey Ames what are you?"
Ami wore an ice blue dress that had a loosely fitting bodice and the skirt fell just below her needs. Light blue lip-gloss adorned her lips and a hint of eye shadow under her mask. That was the practical modest Ami.
She smiled, "I am ice. What about you Mina?" Mina wore a bright yellow orangey dress that was anything but modest. It had a tight bodice and a low neckline with a criss cross back. Her make up was well notified but not gaudy and her skirt went to mid thigh. She wore no mask.
"I am a teen idol."
"Minako where is your mask?" Rei asked.
"Mask? A MASK? You want me to cover this beautiful face? Never." Everything in the next ten miles sweatdropped.
"Oh I was going to ask you guys, how come Usa isn't coming with us?" Everyone looked to the next but no one had an answer.
"We can just ask her later but lets go. I can't wait any longer to see the cute guys."
"I hope they look like my old boyfriend." And so the left with Makoto and Minako, hearts in the eyes.
The Ball
Mamoru was dressed in a tuxedo ,cape and kamen.(Wonder where he got that.) Andrew stood beside him dressed as a prince and his girlfriend dressed as a princess.
"Hey guys!" Minako nearly yelled.
"Hello Minako. How are you?" Mamoru said casually.
"Fine and you?"
"I wish I were dea..." Mamoru was silenced with an elbow to the ribs.
"He is just fine." Andrew said. The rest of the girls walked over.
"Hello girls." Mamoru said with a suave smile.
"Hello Mamoru." Ami stated.
"Nice to see ya bud." Makoto put in.
"How I've missed you." Rei said while batting her eyelashes. The conversation continued on like that. Everyone was talking politely and Rei was desperately trying to get Mamoru attention. They were startled out of their conversation as an awed silence swept over the room. They gazed at the grand staircase and saw......
To Be continued....
Don't you just love cliff hangers.. I know this chapter was short but I have a kind of block. I would welcome any suggestions you guys have for me. Please read and review. My goal is at least get 10 reviews before posting the next chapter.
