"Come on Winner!!! You've got three more to go!!!" The voice of Usagi ran through his mind when he seemed to be slowing down with his pull ups.
"I don't see how you can do forty of these things…" He pulled himself up once more.
"It takes sometime…" She said gently watching him pull himself up once more.
"Yeah.. Yeah."
"It does.. I can do more, but I'm lazy when Amara isn't around." She said. "And forty." She watched him let go and stand letting his arms fall to the side. "Stretch them… they'll hurt worse if you don't." She said stretching out herself.
"I'll do that while I'm getting something to drink." He said walking away from the girl groaning in slight pain.
"Here I thought boys were supposed to be strong." Usagi sighed stretching.
"Usagi-chan??" Her gentle voice made her pause before continuing with her stretching. She looked as if she were ready to start working out as well.
"Why did you do it, Minako?? To get in my good graces??" Usagi asked.
"Well…"
"Do you think a single prank could make up for all the years of torture you dealt me??" Usagi sighed.
"Well… I uhh…yes."
"I can't believe you." Serena said. "I mean besides the fact he would get expelled and be stuck with blue balls for a bit, one prank won't cut it Minako Aino." Serena turned from her. "There's one other person I wish for you to take care of and then we can talk about forgiveness."
"One other??" Mina asked curiously.
"Yes…. Ami Mizuno. Although her motives were right I don't appreciate being a puppet to get my relationships started." Serena said as Mina raised an eyebrow.
*~*~*~*~*~~*
"Hey!" Duo greeted the two girls.
"Hey, Duo." Usagi and Ami said in sync.
"Quatre's coming he had met his sister Iria outside and he's talking to her."
"'Was' talking to her." Quatre sat down as Usagi finished putting on lip gloss. He leaned in to kiss her but ran his tongue over her lips instead making Duo and Ami stare in shock. Quatre cringed making Usagi laugh.
"It's something Amara sent me from America… it's a sour kind of lip gloss!"
"Wasn't too bad." He said noticing his goggles sitting on her head like a headband. "I recognize those."
"Really?? I stole them from this really cute boy. He has nice eyes… and really nice hair too."
"Duo!!! I thought you were supposed to be my friend and you're stealing my girlfriend?!?!" Quatre faked anger and Duo placed his hand over Usagi's.
"I'm sorry Q-man… but she's gorgeous. I couldn't help myself if you know what I mean."
"I do and I'm hurt!!" Ami pouted.
"Oh Ames… you know I didn't mean it."
"Hey!!!" Mina sat at the table earning strange stares from Quatre, Duo, and Ami.
"You made it." Serena said.
"Yeah… It took a lot to convince my father that I wasn't meeting a boy."
"I get the same thing only my older sister Amara does that."
"Yeah so anyway…how is everyone?"
"Fine…" Ami said slowly.
"Great." Mina looked at Usagi a small nod who only raised an eyebrow with a smile.
"So what are we ordering? I'm starving!!"
"Is there anything I can get you??" The brunette, known as Lita Kino, said.
"Yes, I would like a burger, fries and large coke!!" Usagi declared quickly.
"Same here… only make mine a cheeseburger." Ami said missing the stare that was sent between the waitress and Mina.
"I'll take one of each!!" Duo said.
"A milkshake will be fine."
"No food??" Usagi asked as Lita walked away trying not to laugh.
"I'm not really hungry..." He said. "…not for food at least." He sent Usagi a suggestive look making everyone but Usagi gape at him.
"Did I hear that??" Duo asked.
"Quatre saying something with a sexual undertone?? I heard it too." Ami said.
"Well I suppose that could be arranged." Serena said bringing more shocked faces. No one was really paying attention to the rope being tied to Ami's chair.
"Ok… you know what change the subject before they decide to do that here!!" Mina said making the other two agree with her.
"So, who's ready for midterms??" Ami asked getting blank stares from everyone.
"Already?!?!" They all exclaimed.
"Midterms are the middle of the school year." Serena said.
"…and Prom is only four months away!!" Mina said starting a whole new conversation about dresses and colors and what-not. (*smacks her forehead* I still got to pick out my colors for prom!)
"I think Silver will be great on you Usagi-chan!!" Mina said.
"What color are you wearing Mina?" Usagi asked.
"To be honest I think it will be orange or something. But I haven't got a clue as to who to go to prom with."
"Well…. Wu-man still doesn't have a date." Duo suggested.
"No... That wouldn't work… but I do think Trowa is really cute!!" Mina said and the two girls began chattering about. Then both girls turned on Ami.
"What color are you wearing to prom??" The asked simultaneously. Ami then realized the question was directed to her and she blushed.
"I'm going to the bathroom." She quickly excused herself. Duo then looked to make sure she was gone.
"Are you sure you're going to go through with this??"
"Yes!!!" Serena, Mina and Quatre said.
"I mean really what she did was sneaky and under handed and anything else!!" Serena said.
"But it did get us together." Quatre said.
"And for that Ami deserves a reward." Mina said.
"Blondes are strange." Duo said shaking his head at the three. "I'll keep watch." He watched the door as Lita rushed back and changed something on the lamp above the table.
"She's coming." Duo said as Lita picked up tray nearby and placed the drinks on the table.
"Okay I will be back shortly with your orders. Lita said as Ami pulled her chair out triggering something under the table and the chandelier fell just above the table making everyone jump in surprise… Soon it retracted back and tipped something very nasty and foul all over Ami. She screamed drawing all sorts of attention to her and she tripped knocking a waitress over and dropping her tray of food all on the floor. She at on the floor covered in something disgusting and shuddering while apologizing to the waitress.
"Are you okay??" Serena asked in concern.
"I think so…" Ami shuddered again when Serena began laughing. "It's not funny!!"
"Well, Ami, I never got around to thanking you for the mead CD trick you pulled... and thanks to my look-alike over there she inspired me to do it… so. Thank you." Serena said as it all dawned on her. Ami bowed her head.
"Everyone was in on it?? ...Even Duo??"
"Hai." Serena said afraid she'd cry.
"What about the restaurant people??"
"Didn't you notice Lita was our waitress?" Serena asked.
"I see. Well I have one thing to say to say to you, Serena Usagi Tsukino!!"
"What's that??"
"You're Welcome!!!" Ami hugged her with all the slime and everything.
*~*~*~*~
Not as good as I would like this to be but… it'll do for now. More to come soon and more drama to the Q-tra/Usagi Relationship coming soon!
