Usagi and Minako aclled all the girls and arranged for them to arrive at six o'clock.Though, this task had taken some time because they had to convince Makoto that Usagi was fully capable of cooking, and that if she failed they would let her take over. After which, they headed to the store in search of ingrediants for all the goodies that Usagi planned to make.
*4:00 p.m.-An hour later-Back at Minako's House!*
"What in the hell can you make with cellary, carrots, broccli, and tomaotoes(BARF!!) thats not nutritional or healthy in anyway like candy, thus making it eadible?" Minako questioned while picking up the named foods of offense.
"I'm making a vegetable salad. I'm pretty sure that Ami and Makoto will enjoy this, as well as myself, of course." Usagi replied, taking the cellary away from Minako so that she could chop it up.
"Buuuutt.."
"But what?"
"What can Raye and I eat??" Asked a whiney Minako.
"Don't worry thats what the choclate chips, M&M's, caramel, hershey kiss's, frosting, and other assorted sweets are for."
"Are you sure we'll have enough? I mean if you eat like you used to..."
"I'm sure we will have plenty I'm making four types of cookies, two types of candies, and a cake. And, no worries Minako, I don't eat as nearly as much as I used to. And I don't have a very big sweet tooth any more."
"How come? I mean as scouts we've all got a killer metabolism and we do plenty of exercise to work it off, so why not enjoy the sweeter side of life?"
"On Kinomoku the sweets were very rare."
"It sounds like a prehistoric place to me. I thought you told Ami that it was a really advanced place!"
"It is Advanced Minako. They don't have many candies because of the chemicals involved. Unless they can grow it or raise it, Kinomokeans will not eat it."
"Why?"
"They did test and learned that it is a high health risk for the body to diggest the chemical substances."
"Huh?"
"Umm... The stuff they would use to make candy would make them sick."
"At least it would be a sweet way to die!"
"Mianko you are impossible!"
*6:00 p.m.-Minako's Kitchen*
Usagi was finishing cleaning up when the door bell rang. Minako headed for the door as Usagi checked the last batch of cookies that was in the oven.
A minute later Makoto walked into the room followed by Minako. "Mmm... smells wonderful, but how does it taste?"
The door bell rang once more before Usagi could answer and Minako headed out of the room agian. "Thats Raye and Ami. When they get in here you can all try what Minako's not already consumed."
"How can you be sure they're both here?"
Ami walked into the kitchen followed by Raye, with Minako bringing up the rear. "Raye's pyshic energy is rather high, and Ami's brainwaves move at an extrodinary speed. Both of these are unique traits of the mental thought process and alll such things connected with it. Thus, it makes them easy to detect with out really using my psychic abilities."
Minako and Makoto looked at her with confused faces and simultaneously replied, "Huh?"
"Ami's really smart and Raye's got magic powers. Makes them different so they are easy to pick out in a crowd of people."
The look on Minako's face did change as she replied. "Ohhhh. I guess in some language that would make sense."
"No Minako, in no language would that make sense. Especialy for us since we are barely passing English, the only forgien language required by our high school."
Raye laughed.
Ami sighed.
Usagi cracked a smile before replying. "Never mind all this thought mumbo jumbo. Try the food let me know what you think."
Ami pulled a carrot out of the vegetable salad. "Mm... the dressing is tastey."
Raye picked up a chocolate chip cookie, sniffed it then took a bit. "Mako-chan didn't make these?" Usagi shook her head no. Raye cautiously took a bit. "Wow Usagi, I am totally impressed, these are delicious."
Makoto picked up a cupcake and took a bit from it. "Wow, these are just as good, if not better, than the ones I make! Great work Usagi!"
"Hey, give me some credit! I helped!"
"Eating the ingrediants whilest I bake does not count as helping Minako."
Minako pouted while everyone else laughed at usagi's comment.
The girls spent the rest of the night, at least until Ami and Usagi made them go to bed because there was school the next day, doing the following: gossiping, eating, and playing games such as truth or dare.
*The next day!*
Usagi woke up early and made everyone breakfest, including Mrs.Aino. Once the girls finished breakfest and cleaning up the dishes they had made, Mrs.Aino gave them a ride to Juban High School, excpet for Raye who'd been dropped off at the First School for Girls on the way there, and then continued on her way to work.9I'm pretty sure that s a run-on but thats to bad!)
"So, Usagi did you ever figure out Mamoru's schedule?"
"This morning just after I got up. I should be okay with my schedule the way it is now. I mean I leave an hour before he has to in the morning, and I don't return home until he is already in bed."
Makoto looked at her from the conor of her eye. "If you say so, but he isn't the same as he was, he doesn't always follow his schedule to a 'T'."
"I suppose he could have changed, but I don't think that much." Usagi replied as they made their way to class.
Everything went well for all the girls that day, except for usagi.
"Tskunio Usagi, I went out on a limb hiring you. Some of my workers were highly disgruntled because you have been hired at such a young age and without a college education. Normally if people don't call in I fire them on the spot, but I need to to duplicate the computer design you sold to us. Give me a reason why I shouldn't fire you. Please make it one hell of a good reason. And please understand that I don't want to fire, but I am under a lot of pressure."
'Think Usagi, think!' "I got mugged, during the incodent I was knocked unconscoius. One of my friends found me. They didn't think the damge was that bad so theytook me back to my apartment where another friend cared for me until I woke up. I'm truly sorry no one called in, but I've only been back in town for a few days and they don't even know I have a job, let alone where it is."
"I'm very sorry to hear that dear. And though I hate to ask this, can anyone varify your story?"
"Mizuno Ami, Dr. Mizuno, and the secretary at Juban High. Though, you will find that Dr. Mizuno and the high school were un informed as to why I was out of comition... so to speak."
"Thank you dear, I hope you are feeling better now."
"Yes sir I am, but I do have a request."
"Anything you want."
"Well, not very many of the workers will listen to me or the intrusctions I ask them to follow."
"How can I help?"
"Would you mind if I had a team that helped me work on it instead of the entire computer staff. They listen well and I'm sure we can accomplish more if we do it this way."
"Alright dear, if you think so. Who would you like on your team?"
"Haru, Natsu, and Aki."
"Excellent. I'll go make the announcement you can head to lab five and get to work as soon as I can get your things delivered there."
*After work entering Usagi's Apartment Building*
Work had gone well tonight. There was no one condescending her, only people working with her to help her get the job done. Though the technology here was limited, she was sure that with the combined efforts of the four they could easily finish the projects within six months, and that was four months before the deadline.
As Usagi stepped out of the elevator she bumped into someone. "Sorry, sir."
"Usako." Usagi turned to run as Mamoru grabbed her arm. "Please, we need to talk."
And I hope you guys enjoy this chapter more than I enjoyed writting it!
