Chapter 2 of Serenity
Rated R
By Miaka Hime
Gomen for taking SO long to get this out! I've been so busy that I barely had time to write, I think I'll have more time to write now though. Also, to the reviewer that said they liked Usagi's personality and how she reminded them themselves, I'd like to say, I act like her too, I have the whole punk rocker look with the baggie jeans and studded belt and the black fingernails, and no I am not gothic. Goths typically wear nothing BUT black, and I just stick to dark shades and a lot of black but not always, plus none of my pants are black sooo I can't really where all black now can I? Lol

Usagi awoke to the joyful sound of the backstreet boys music from Rei's alarm. Usagi placed a pillow over her head trying to block out the annoying music and wished she could kill the alarm or change the station to something else "I could use my Ataris CD right about now." Usagi mumbled into her pillow. "Sorry if my alarm woke you, I usually wake up pretty early." Rei said from an unknown spot in the room.
Usagi took the pillow from her head and stuffed it around her head to cover her ears. "Do you always listen to that?" Usagi asked pointing at Rei's clock radio. "Not always, I listen to whatever I feel like waking up too." Usagi groaned and got up, her bare feet felt the sudden cold of the wood floor beneath the floor made her shiver. "Is it always this cold in the morning?" She asked grabbing her black pullover sweatshirt. "Iie, but the furnace in this dorm has been acting funny this whole semester." Rei said grabbing a clean uniform. "Are you going want to use the shower first, or can I have it?" Rei asked while she grabbed her things she needed to change into for school. "Iie, I'm going to go watch some television, I don't start school until second period anyway, I already completed all my Social Studies courses. I was home taught and I finished a few courses early." Usagi said leaving the room while she grabbed her comforter from her bed and wrapping it around her body to stay warm.
Usagi turned on the news just as she heard the shower running. Usagi watched most of the news until the weather report was over, after that she changed the channel to a talk show and then proceeded to the kitchen and made herself a bowl of cereal which she then ate in front of the television until Rei came out of the bathroom and made some eggs which she also ate half of.
~*~*~*~*
Usagi walked to her last class of the day, it was a simple choir class. When a boy in her first class had asked to see her schedule and had seen it, he'd outright laughed at her and said she probably sang like a frog, but she knew that it was quite the opposite, she sang like an angel but she probably wouldn't let her music teacher know that. In fact she'd probably flunk the class from not participating.
Usagi walked into the class and suddenly felt out of place in the room full of girls with their compacts of make up and brushes, and the boys who hit on them. She now had on the usual uniform, but she still refused to give up her CD player and her all star shoes.
Usagi took a seat in the back row and waited for the class to begin. "Psst! Usagi-chan!" Usagi who had been looking at her CD player looked up startled and saw that Minako was sitting in front of her. "I didn't know you could sing." Minako said with a giggle. "I can, but I probably won't. I just took up this class because it was the only election that wasn't full." Minako giggled again. "You should, it'd probably blow most of the girls away considering none of them can sing." Usagi smiled and nodded. "Maybe another day." With that she turned up the volume on her CD player.
After class the teacher gave Usagi a glare that could freeze hell over and Usagi brushed it off like it was nothing and left class but not before Minako caught up with her. "You really pissed Mrs. Elgin off, she kept yelling for you to sing but you kept ignoring her. She must have turned as red as a tomato!" Minako said with a giggle. "I did find it slightly amusing." Usagi said walking toward her dorm along with the bubbly blond. "You want to go to the CD store? I was listening to that CD you had and it made me want to buy it." Minako said sheepishly. "I could burn it for you." Usagi said unlocking her dorm room. "Could you? I didn't even know you had a computer!" Usagi grinned. "I've got a lap top, it's the new Lunarian Macintosh (AN-lol, I didn't put too much originality into that did I?) Minako blushed slightly. "I-I don't really know too much about computers I have to admit" Minako admitted, but she then brightened up like a one hundred watt bulb. "I bet Ami-chan would love to see it though! She's really into that kind of computer stuff Hey! I should go get her! Do you want me too?" Usagi smirked. "Sure, if you want." Minako let out an excited squeal. "I'll be right back!" With a wink and a quick V is for victory sign, the blond ran in search of her blue haired friend.
~*~*~*~*
Usagi became friends with Minako and Ami pretty well, even if Minako was a little too hyper at times. Ami was a good friend though, she was quiet just like Usagi, she liked to be quiet and she rarely smiled, except when Minako did something so stupid that a person had to be emotionless not to smile or laugh.
She also became friends with Makoto and Rei, but sometimes they could even be a bit much and Usagi would find herself running over to her sisters dorm to hide.
Usagi ran from the room. "BUT USAGI! IT'S SO CUTE!" Minako's high pitched voice wailed from her dorm room. Usagi ran to Haruka's room, and knocked loudly. She angrily kicked the door when no one answered and Minako was heard yelling down the hallway for her. "USAGI! PINK LOOKS GOOD ON YOU! YOU'LL LOVE IT IF YOU JUST TRY IT ON!" Then as if some goddess was answering her prayers a door opened from across from Haruka's and Usagi bolted into it before Minako had gotten to her.
"Whoa babe! I know I'm irresistible but I've never met you before!" Were the first words out of the male she had run into after shutting the door behind herself. "Gomen, but she's trying to get me into a pink dress!" Usagi apologized stepping away from the boy. "Who is?" The boy asked. "Aino Minako." Usagi said without thinking. "Aino? Who's Aino?" Usagi groaned. "Minako." Usagi corrected herself. "Minako what?" He said obviously lost. "Minako, is trying to get her in a pink dress." Usagi jumped when she realized there were two more people in the room with her besides the boy she'd ran into. "I'm Quatre." The platinum blond haired boy said. "I'm Usagi." Usagi said with a smirk and a small wave, but only receiving an over exaggerated wave from boy she'd ran into and a shy smile from Quatre. "So who are you guys?" Usagi asked. "I'm Duo, that's Trowa and of course Quatre." Duo said pointing at himself, to a boy with an emerald green eye and dark brown hair covering half of his face and then to Quatre. "So, you're being forced into a dress? What's so bad about that looks like you'd have a nice figure why not show it off?" Duo said with a suggestive smile that was until Usagi's fist came in contact with his face. "Hentai." Usagi mumbled looking through the peep hole and seeing no one in sight.
Usagi gave a quick salute. "See you guys later, I think she's gone." Usagi said opening the door just as Minako jumped in front of the door, pink dress in hand. Usagi's eyes widened, but she didn't scream, instead she slammed the door shut. "Kuso." She cursed softly. "Who's up for cards?" Duo asked with a smile while his eye swept up and down Usagi's body. "I say we play strip poker!"
~*~*~*~
"I hate this game." Duo said, he was now down to his boxers and socks. "You suggested it and made us play." Quatre said while Trowa and Usagi were silent. "Well I thought I'd win and she'd take some of that off!" Duo said pointing at Usagi's attire of a black T-shirt and jeans, so far she'd only lost a shoe. After this was said a person walked into the room. He had messy brown hair and Persian eyes.
He swept his eyes around the room, and took note of Usagi not wearing her shoe, Quatre with all of his clothes except for his vest, Trowa who had all of his clothes except his shoes, and lastly Duo whom had nothing but his socks and boxers. The click of the safety went off. "Hn." Duo let out an eep and dropped his cards just as the other two set down their cards. "Kuso, he beat us." Usagi let out. Quatre sighed and took off his shoe while Trowa shrugged and took off his shirt, Usagi just took off her other shoe. (AN- Trowa probably wouldn't do this, but I just wanted to drool ^.^)
~*~*~*~*
Usagi went to her dorm room an hour later. Hiiro, as she later found out the guy with the gun was, had pulled the gun on Duo because he had supposedly done something to something of his, and after Duo had been successfully stored in a closet the game had stopped and they had settled for watching television since Hiiro had said Minako was still lurking outside the door.
Usagi was just glad that she'd given up after an hour and that she was able to hang out in her room alone, since the girls went to the movie without her since she didn't really want to go anyway.
Usagi left the dorm after getting some dinner and she tried to see if Haruka was home yet and had gotten lucky, since Haruka had come back to the dorm to get some money, and to steal her away so they could go see their aunt.
~*~*~*~*
Haruka and Usagi pulled into the apartment complex at around 9:30. They walked up the familiar steps until they reached her apartment and Haruka knocked three times on the wood door.
A few moments later Setsuna opened the door. "Konbanwa girls, come on in." Setsuna said with a rare smile. The two girls went into the room gladly and Setsuna beckoned them to sit on the couch. "I've been having some trouble with the Dr.'s they've been asking of your accomplishments I think they're interested in giving you missions with the gundam pilots."

Sorry it's so short, but I've been busy, but hopefully I'll have more time to work on this over the summer now that I don't have anything going on until August. Also, if you're wondering who The Ataris are, they're a band I'm rather fond of and I've actually met them and had them sign my shoe from lack of anything else for them to sign, lol. Oh! And gomen nasai for all those Backstreet boys fans, I myself don't like them but it's all a matter of taste here, I'm sure a lot of you don't like punk music or heavy metal like I do. Please Review!!
