Chapter 3: Oops

"III'mmm baaack!" Usagi called, as she stepped inside the temple, not at all silently. She sighed since there were no Rei-chans in sight, and headed down the hall towards the aforementioned miko's ever so sacred room.

Usagi yawned upon entering her best friend's room, and was slightly disappointed that there were still no Rei-chans to be seen. (Oh well, I'll just wait for her...) Usagi thought to herself and smiled before tossing her backpack down on Rei's futon and stretching her arms above her head, before plopping down beside it. She smiled and layed back, staring up at the ceiling... Rei's room was so calm and smelled so nice!... (Unlike Rei, of course.) Usagi mentally added with a content smile.

Faint humming could be heard from the kitchen of the Shrine as Rei finished up with the small snack she had been preparing and headed down the hall. She had heard Usagi come in earlier, but had figured she would just pull a, well, Usagi and go to her room, even though she knew Rei would get mad at her for it... Come to think of it, Why wasn't she mad?

(Ah well, It's not like it really matters much...) she thought and smiled, upon reaching the door to the guestroom. She knocked and waited a moment before hearing someone padding towards the door. After a few moments, ChibiUsa pushed open the door to see Rei holding two trays.

"Hello, ChibiUsa. Here, This is a little snack I whipped up!" Rei smiled and held out one of the trays. ChibiUsa smiled and gladly accepted the food.

"Thanks, Rei-mama!" ChibiUsa stated and smiled brightly before widening her eyes and covering her mouth, "Uh, Um... I mean, Thanks Rei-san!" she quickly ammended, before thanking Rei again and closing the door to leave a still very stunned miko standing in the hall.

The moment ChibiUsa had come out with "mama", Rei had bit her tongue, and her eyes had nearly popped out of her head. She... must have just imagined that right? (Yeah, Of course...) she assured herself, before shaking her head slightly, attempting to knock the thought loose, as she headed on down the hall toward her own room.

But what if she had heard right?

That constant thought nagged in the back of the miko's mind. No, She had to have imagined it... But she was sure she heard... But, Supposing that had been what ChibiUsa had said, What could she have meant by it?

Upon reaching the end of the hall, Rei sighed and pushed open the door and stepped inside, closing it behind her quietly as possible. (Mama...) she thought, (Maybe...)... Of course, It wasn't as if she hadn't thought before about what it would have been like had ChibiUsa been her own daughter... And more so, What would it have been like if...

She ignored the thought and began scanning the room for her odangoed friend, but there was no Usagi in sight. She groaned and sat the tray down on her nightstand before placing her hands on her hips. She then noticed Usagi's backpack sitting next to her futon. (She "is" here, But where'd she get to?)

"Oh geez... Where'd she go? I just know she has to be in--" Rei started, but was cut off as a "rabid bunnyrabbit" attacked her from behind, tackling her down onto the futon, causing Rei to let out a small yelp as she and the extra weight on her back connected with the futon, knocking the breath from her lungs.

"Oof!" Rei felt two hands come around in front of her face, covering her eyes.

"Guess who!" a familiar voice stated. It couldn't be...

"USAAAGIII!" she yelled, and struggled a bit with the weight on her back. She soon found that she couldn't sit up with Usagi sitting on her.

"Right on!" Usagi stated and removed her hands. The next time Rei attempted to sit up with her still seated on her back, Usagi fell forward slightly, the top of her head pressing against the futon, leaving her eye to eye with the agrivated miko.

"Usagi..." Rei started, causing Usagi to blink her eyes, "... GET OFF!"

Usagi pouted slightly, pushing out her bottom lip, as she instantly went into puppydog-bunnyrabbit mode, and Rei was almost ready to comfort her, but then remembered the reason she had yelled to begin with.

She was about to say something else when the odangoed blonde sighed reluctantly and moved off of Rei, to sit beside her on the futon. Rei sat up on her backside, and took a deep breath, since she had just been nearly smothered by the other girl.

"I fix you a snack, and this is the thanks I get?" Rei asked with a slight smile, causing Usagi to smile brightly.

"Really!? I like food! Where?" Usagi stated, blinking her eyes rapidly. Rei rolled her eyes.

"Just a sec," Rei responded softly, and pointed to the tray on her nightstand. "Be my guest."
