Chapter 19

Outside

"Oh no! She's not answering!!" Usagi exclaimed, panic setting in.

"Maybe she went out" Mamoru reasoned trying to calm his love!

"I have to know for sure." Usagi replied eyeing the fire escape "hey Mamo-chan this place had those outside ladder escapes right?"

"Uh. I think so" he replied not understanding her plan 

"GOOD!" she squealed tugging him out the door and onto the platform where she proceeded to climb the railing 

"Usako what are you doing?" Mamoru asked anxious for her safety as she climbed onto the balcony of Mako's room.

"Come on!" she urged ducking behind a plant 

 'How do I get into these things?' Mamoru thought to himself sighing as he followed her.

On the balcony.

The pair squatted in the shadows trying to peak through the slit in the middle of the curtains 

"Can you see anything??" Usagi asked 

Mamoru shook his head in response, "nope."

"Drat!" then as a mysterious smile played on her face Usagi tried the sliding door 

While Mamoru stared on in shock

 It moved 

Inside the room 

"Did you hear something?" Kevin asked pulling away from the vision on the bed to look out the window

"Hmmm?" Makoto asked snuggling closer to his warmth "nothing." She responded after listening for a moment 

Outside.

"Did you hear that?" Usagi whispered.

"Yeah it sounded like Kevin"

"Well I'm going to find out." She responded standing up she threw the curtain aside.

 "Usagi!!!" a voice raged from the bed as Makoto stood wrapping the blanket about her, not really wanting Mamoru whom she was certain was near-by to see her in her green night-dress, before exclaiming "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!!!!!"

Usagi gulped as she cowered before Makoto's anger.

"I just came to make sure you were okay" she squeaked out, hurtling herself into Mamoru's arms. 

"Usagi I am able to take care of myself you know."

"But Mako." Usagi began "some guy answered the phone and I didn't know if you were okay... "

"I'm fine"

"So angel still can't recognize my voice?" The figure from the bed groaned 

"Kevin." Usagi growled "what are you doing here?"

Mamoru remained silent feeling a headache coming on. 'I can't believe it!' he thought to himself 'dragged all the way over here. Just to find my room mate was spending the night with Makoto '

"Uh Makoto and I had some things to sort out" Kevin said a bright red blush creeping up his cheeks 

"AND THEN WHAT!!! YOU JUST DECIDED TO SPEND THE NIGHT!?" Usagi exploded. As she spotted his clothes discarded in a heap by the bed.

"Usagi calm down!" Mamoru soothed 

"How can you expect me to calm down? One of my best friends just slept with your room-mate"

"So you slept with me!" Mamoru whispered 

Usagi flushed red. "Yeah. But we're engaged" she replied her eyes softening

"Usagi, we didn't sleep together" Kevin cut in walking over to Makoto in his boxers. "Well, not in the way you are thinking"

"You guys are going to be late for your rehearsal" Makoto pointed out, after glancing at the clock on the bedside table.

Usagi looked back to her friend as she continued to hold the blanket to her body, the light hitting something on the third finger of her left hand. Usagi's eyes widened 

"Mako-chan what's that on your finger?" Usagi demanded about ready to pounce on her friend 

Playing dumb Mako asked "you mean this?" lifting her hand to show off a gold ring set with an emerald 

Usagi's jaw hit the floor .as she gawked open mouthed in astonishment...

"See. We match no, even if Kev. and I aren't going to be married for quite some time." Mako stated

"Congratulations." Mamoru bade them, quickly scooping the still startled Usagi into his arms as he headed towards the door.

"See you guys later" he called

"Bye" the couple replied, once again alone in the room.

Lobby

"Good, you two are finally here" Professor Montaine stated looking at his leads.

"Sorry we had some urgent business  ..." Usagi explained

"Kids these days unable to keep commitments, because something else always happens" the Prof. grumbled as Usagi and Mamoru took their places within the choir.

"okay let's begin." Montaine said giving the choir their notes for the warm ups.

30mins later 

"We will have a 10min break and then we will continue" Professor Montaine announced to the delight of his students.

"Usagi" Melanie whispered to her "Did you come up with a plan?" she asked

The wheels in Usagi's head began to turn in earnest pausing when she remembered what Minako had done a few years back to hook up Rei and Chad.

"Yeah, I have an idea" Usagi responded pulling some paper and a pen out of her purse she quickly jotted down a note  before walking towards Mamoru whom had just returned from getting a drink of water 

"Mamo-chan could you do me a huge favour?" Usagi asked him.

"What is it?" he responded warily taking in the slightly scheming glint in his fiancées eyes.

"Well I need you to let me go out with Seiya tonight and I wanted to make sure that you'd wait outside this restaurant with Melanie until I left."

"What are you planning?" he asked now curious as to just what she had in mind a mysterious smile was his only reply as she kissed him on the cheek and said, "so.. Is that a yes?"

"Yeah, I guess" Mamoru grudgingly replied

 "Arigatou Mamo-chan" Usagi called practically skipping across the room to talk to Seiya

"Hi Seiya" she greeted him a huge smile on her face. While she thought 'I hope this works'

"Hi Usagi something I can do for you?"

"Actually there is"

"yes..."

Usagi glanced down at the floor and then back up at him from under her long golden eyelashes two large baby blue pools beseeching him as she requested, "come to dinner with me tonight" in her sweetest voice

Stunned Seiya stared at her unbelieving what she had just said,

"Pardon me"

Usagi repeated her previous words using all her feminine gifts to bend him to her will, "come to dinner with me tonight" this time her eyes practically threatening to over flow with tears, if he denied her..

"Of course I will" he agreed causing a huge smile to bloom over Usagi's face, and all signs of tears to disappear from her eyes.

"Oh thank you so much!" she squealed giving him a hug before running off. Leaving Seiya thinking,

'I wonder what that was about' as he watched her and Mamoru share a kiss, before his eyes skimmed over to Melanie who stood behind them, and a little to their left.  When Seiya's eyes met Melanie's he felt his heart to do a little leap, just a mere blip in comparison to the one it did when Usagi had come to talk to him 

But still it was something.
