Hanazakari- I didn't say I didn't like your name… and the hand through window thing was accidental. We were running around like maniacs, her chasing me because I wouldn't give her the card. We ended up running outside, and I slammed the garage door shut, and she put her hand through that window. I had the glance-thing explained in the rough draft, but I lost that… she already is Sailor Moon… but that might not last… hm.

Moonlight Pixie Witch- Hehehehe that's an awesome idea! It might be in upcoming chapters…

DevilsDarling- NOT THE HAIR! NOW you are scaring me… ::shivers:: read, please… not the demons! At least you have a boyfriend…

MarsMoonStar- nice word! My LA teacher said that a lot last year…

Siren- thank you! I can't believe new people are still reading this… it's gotten so long! I might and I might not (most likely not), so be happy (please?)!

Jessica Black- hehehe me too! Well, that's why it's there…

Sailor Star Scream- because they're a major part of the story, and will be for the next year? Thank you, and you'll find out whether it will be M/U or L/U. I like loo better than moo, it sounds better.

Bunni V- congrats! And thanks! Hehee

Lilsaturnprincess- thanks, and you're welcome!

Tenshi-chan- tis okay! You'll find out all the answers soon, no worries!

The Kuro no Tenshi- you're welcome, and thank you! I think I reviewed your fic, didn't I? Hmm… I'll check lata.

Cheska- yep, it is sad… and she is over it. I needed to make Kelly a big character! She's fun to write, a combo of me and one of my friends.

Silver Star- kay!

Adb- hehehehehahahahohoho! Umm… kay.

Sailor Capricorn- *only* twenty four? ONLY? Are you nutters? I've never even come close to writing this much! Never mind, you can't be nutters… I am. Hm… not a bad idea!

Little one- tis okay! I am sorry :-( But thank you!

Reviewer's Quotes!

I've decided to do a little 'tasting' thing, where you all give me one of your fave quotes from any of my fics (and who said it or who it's about). I'd really appreciate it if you copied it out and left it in your review! I just figure that way, I could see what types of things you all like the best, and work them in a bit more. Thank ya'll greatly!

Rini

Oh yeah, and if any of you could read One Reason to Die, Three Reasons to Live, and let me know if I should continue and give suggestions, I'd be grateful! And if you R&Red The Princess and The Pauper, I'd be happy! They're both L/J fics, btw.

You must open your egg at noon tomorrow to understand the clue.

What a strange note! thought Cedric Diggory. Well, I might as well give it a go… I've tried nearly everything else!

Oh, there was a small note on the back.

Great Hall

So I open it in the Great Hall? All right…

Through a spasm of gullibility, Cedric was going to embarrass himself horribly. But Victor Krum would come first.

The owls swooped into the Great Hall at breakfast, and Usagi spotted Hazeka amid the throng. But her owl didn't come directly to her. Instead, it flew to the Slytherin table and dropped an envelope on the unsuspecting Krum.

He seemed to think it was a normal letter- a slightly off-white colour- so he opened it. Unfortunately for him, it was one of Fred and George's new products: disguised Howlers.

"You're cruddy, crummy, Krum!

You look like a big bum!

You usually stalk and always gawk

At sweet Hermione- you're so dumb!"

There was more to the little song, but at this point the song faded off. Krum had run as fast as possible (with the letter) outside. Most of the hall erupted with laughter, but Hermione buried her face in her hands.

"Sorry, 'Mione," Usagi said softly from the other end of the table.

The rest of the time until lunch was normal, with only the usual amount of explosions and scoldings. But at lunch, Cedric opened his egg. At first, the screeching sound bombarded everyone's ear drums, pounding to enter their heads.

Then the sound began to change. It formed words that seemed gibberish at first, but then they took on Cedric's voice and had meanings.

"My name is Cedric Diggory,

A pretty boy indeedy.

If ever my face were badly marred,

I would be forever scarred.

My crush is on-"

The egg was slammed shut suddenly, and Cedric's face was looking astonished and burning with embarrassment. Once more, the school erupted with laughter.

The thing that happened at supper, however, was much more entertaining.

Usagi and Kelly had charmed two certain glasses of Pumpkin juice. One belonged to Mamoru Chiba, the other to Fleur Delacour.

Fleur drank hers, but nothing happened. Mamoru, however, immediately jumped up and began doing a very graceful ballet dance. It would have been lovely to watch, had Mamoru not had a look of excruciating pain on his face, and had he not been so tall and masculine. The teachers tried to stop him, but ended up having to wait for the dance to finish.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

"Mariette! Did you do zis?" Fleur's shriek echoed through the Beauxbatons carriage the following morning.

"Do wat, Fleur?"

"Zis!" Fleur exclaimed to the other girl. Her hair had turned a very ugly shade of greenish brown, and was totally unmanageable. Her eyes had become tiny, round and black, and she had gained about fifty pounds of fat. Needless to say, she wasn't happy.

"No," the other girl said, suppressing a giggle. She would have to congratulate whoever was doing all these wonderful pranks.

"But I can't go to breakfast like zis!"

"Come along, ma petite chous, c'est time for ze breakfast," Madame Maxime's voice said, resounding through the carriage. {A/N: my little cabbages, it's.}

"Oh, no," Fleur moaned. "Wat will I do now?"

"Go to breakfast," Mariette said cheekily, dashing off.

Fleur just groaned.

"You should have seen everyone's faces! That was priceless," Kelly gasped at Lee as he sat down to breakfast. "We should have taken a picture!"

"We did," Usagi said, holding up a newly developed photograph depicting the moment when Fleur had entered the Great Hall.

Lee started laughing. "I can't believe I missed that!"

Lee had been in detention that morning, and had been late coming to breakfast.

"Me neither," Kelly and Usagi said together.

"You neither what?" Fred and George had just joined them. They'd been serving detention with Lee.

"We can't believe that you three missed this," Kelly said, brandishing the picture at the twins.

"How did you get that from me?" Usagi demanded.

"My secret." Kelly shrugged.

"How did you learn glance-talk?" George directed at Usagi suddenly.

"I can only translate. You can't expect me to not have picked up on some of it, spending all that time around you three."

Her answer was acceptable, but in truth, she'd just pretended they were animals and was able to translate.

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

"We're having a ball?" Usagi whispered to Hermione towards the end of Transfiguration. "And I need to have a partner? I can't ask anyone! And no one will ask me!"

"Calm down, Usa. Plenty of people would ask you. Just make sure that you're super available, meaning mostly on your own, a lot."

"All-all right then," Usagi said nervously, fingering her old necklace. It was a little bunny charm with a pearl (her birthstone) embedded in it. "Do y'think that Fred, George, Lee and Kelly is a small enough group?"

Hermione sighed and rolled her eyes. Even she, the bookworm, understood boys better than Usagi. Giving up, she simply said, "Sure."

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

"One of you three has to take Kelly to the Yule ball," Usagi said a few days later.

"I can't. I'm going with Angelina," Fred said.

"Katie!" George put in.

"Are you going with anyone?" Usagi pushed the question at Lee.

"No," he said, his heart sinking. He'd been planning on asking-

"Good. Then go invite her!" Usagi said, pushing his chair the two centimeters that separated them.

"Sure, I'll go with you," Kelly said without giving Lee a chance to ask. Of course she'd heard what was going on… she'd been sitting at the same table, right next to them!

Now all that was needed was a date for Usagi. Had Kelly not been an MM (Mischief Maker, remember?), Usagi probably would've gone with Lee as friends. But Kelly was and MM, and in one of the years that had to be invited to go.

So now Usagi was stuck waiting for some boy to become so desperate that he'd ask her.

The question wasn't long in coming, and the boy who asked wasn't asking out of desperation.

"Can I ask you something?" Mamoru asked, looking uncomfortable under the glares the other MMs were directing at him.

"Sure," Usagi said comfortably, no moving.

"Er, in private?"

"This is private enough, thanks," Usagi said in an 'I'm pretending not to understand what you want' tone.

"All right. Erm, I was wondering if you would go to the Yule ball with me."

"And you can keep on wondering for a while," Usagi said dismissively.

At Mamoru's baffled look, Kelly translated. "She means she's not making up her mind right this moment and good-bye."

"Oh."

After Mamoru left, Lee nearly pounced on Usagi. "Are you seriously going to have to think about that git?"

Once more, Kelly spoke for Usagi. "Of course she isn't," she snapped, "She's just going to make him wait a bit before turning him down."

Lee looked at Usagi, and she affirmed that statement with a nod.

George and Fred exploded with laughter.

"That's a bloody brilliant idea!" {A/N: Guess who said that…}

~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~

"Usagi, you can't turn down everyone that asks you," Kelly cautioned her friend a few days before Christmas break.

"I won't," Usagi said, gazing at lee. There was only one person she really wanted to go with…

Kelly walked over to Lee and said quietly but decidedly, "Lee, if someone else asks me to the ball, I'm going to go with them. I know there's someone who likes you that's still single."

Lee looked up, startled, and said, "All right, then."

About three minutes later, Kelly had agreed to be escorted by Kareem Caulinburg of the fifth year, leaving Lee to figure out who liked him.

"AHA! My name could also mean 'elf or wise counselor.' That's a bit better," Fred announced. He'd become obsessed with that baby name book Usagi had found. "Hey, Gus! Your name comes from the Celtic spirit of laughter, love and wisdom. That is soo not fair!" Fred was starting to sound like a whiny girl.

Is it contagious? Lee thought as he edged towards the dorm stairs.

"Avery, how come you get to be the elf ruler?" That was George. It must be contagious. Lee ran for his life and sanity.

"Blaise is a stammerer!" someone completely unknown to Lee sniggered, the words drifting up the stairs.

He paid no attention. He was trying to make up his mind whether to ask the one he wanted to ask or not.
