~~~I DO NOT OWN SAILOR MOON...even though I wish I could..~~~
~~~Chpt.3 Come Minako! TO THE LIBRARY!~~~
A few days had passed and all the research Usagi needed for her assignment had been completed. All that was left to do was go to a computer and type out 4 long pages that Usagi had dreaded. Usagi fell back on her bed, holding in front of her out all the information she had gathered for her topic. She threw her papers up in the air in frustration and moaned. She rustled the long blond strands of her yellow pigtailed hair, causing one of her buns to come undone.
"ARGH! I can't use a computer! I've never used one in my entire life! I've NEVER EVEN- ARGH!" she screamed "I WANT TO HAND WRITE IT! I'VE GOT NEAT HANDWRITING!"
Just then Luna entered the room and was smacked in the face by one of Usagi's bed pillows. She flew back and hit the wall with a loud SMACK and she fell to the floor. Usagi proceeded to throw another pillow in that direction but stopped after seeing Luna twitching on the floor. Usagi dropped the pillow and rushed to Luna's side.
"LUNA! Gomen nasai, Gomen nasai! I'M SOOOO SORRY! Daijoubou?!" usagi tapped the side of Luna's face as she awoke.
Luna shook her head and blinked. Usagi kept apologizing over and over then explaining why she threw the pillow at Luna. Usagi sighed again and plopped back on her bed. Luna came and sat next to her on the bed to offer her sympathies.
"Well, at least you are showing some discipline, getting to your homework and all. This is quite an improvement Usagi! Before, you would have waited till the last minute and then pulled an all-nighter just to get the report done. What made you change all of a sudden?" Luna asked
"Well..." Usagi giggled "Mamo-chan said if I keep up my grades and really study hard, he would try and come back two weeks earlier!" Usagi smiled happily.
"Really?" Luna questioned.
"Really! I have to get good grades then I hand my grades to Ami-chan and she said she would scan them and email them to Mamoru over in the States! Grade reports come out in a week and a half and I feel really confident because I have been putting my nose to the books!" Usagi pouted her lower lip. "I really want my Mamo-chan to come back soon. I miss him very much" A tear escaped Usagi's eye as she flicked it away.
"Well good for you Usagi! I like this improvement of yours very much! I just hope you keep it up even AFTER Mamoru comes back." Luna said, with the most proudest look on her face. Her eyes sparkled and for the first time she felt more confident in Usagi then ever before. Luna chuckled
"So that's why I haven't seen you around the arcade lately, or goofing off. I am proud of you Usagi, I really am."
Usagi sighed again as she gathered her papers that were strewn across her room. She pictured in her mind a computer. She knew what a computer looked like, all grey and box like. She saw the keyboard. That's for typing, I know that much, she thought. She saw the monitor. She saw the hard drive and the monitor. She then pictured thousands of buttons and cords and weird slots. I've seen people put thing in the slots before and one of the slots stuck out like a tongue and someone placed a disc on it, she thought again. The more she thought of a computer the more complicated the computer began to look.
"Usagi...earth to Usagi!" Luna tilted her head sideways, staring at the Usagi who had zoned out.
"Oh, hai...gomen.." Usagi sighed again then looked over at Luna and her eyes widened. "YOU know how to use a computer! You can come with me to the library!! You can help me figure out how to use a computer!"
Luna shook her head, "No Usagi."
"But WWHHYY!" Usagi whined.
"There are no pets allowed in the library! Even if you snuck me in I wouldn't go. This is your assignment so you work on it.", Luna sighed "If pets were allowed, yes I'd go and tutor you on how to operate a computer, but sorry. No pets allowed."
Usagi whined again and AGAIN flopped on her bed. The phone that was sitting on her bed got knocked down onto the floor with a loud clatter. It startled Usagi and she bent over to pick it up. She stared at the phone for a minute and then decided to call her buddies and see if they wanted to go with her to the library.
She called up Rei-chan but she was way to swamped with her term paper and the test she didn't have time to accompany her. She tried Makoto but it was the same thing. Homework, Homework , Homework. Her last resort, Minako. She dialed her number.
"Hello, is minako there? This is Usagi"
"Oh hello Usagi!Yes... she is, hang on one second and I will get her for you." Minako's mother answered followed by a loud shout of "MINAKO, TELEPHONE!"
Moments later Minako picked up the phone.
"Your mom is LOUD Minako!"
"Tell me about it! So what's up!?"
"Well, remember that paper...ah, ah..don't say anything. I know you can't help me with the computer but I was just wonderin if you were free. I'd really like some one to accompany me to the library. I was just there a few days ago and theirs this new librarian and she scares me. She was very mean and kept telling me to be quiet because it was a library. I am afraid to go back there alone. Will you please go with me Minako!" Usagi pleaded.
Minako hesitated over the line as she thought about it. Minako WAS free all day and her homework was finished. She saw no reason why she couldn't go with Usagi but she glanced down at her feet. Yes. The paranoia with her feet still lingered a bit and the walk to Usagi's house or the library or BOTH put her mind in a state of "DANGER ALERT!" Usagi still pleaded over the line and Minako could hear the desperation in her voice. The whining of Usagi made Minako give in and she agreed to go with Usagi to the library. Minako hung up the phone, grabbed her coat and headed over to meet Usagi at her home.
Usagi sat at the front porch of her home playing with her blond hair just as Minako came bouncing around the corner. Her long blond hair bounced up and down as she came around the corner, stopping to catch her breath then waving at Usagi. Usagi smiled and got up to join the panting Minako. They turned the corner and headed in the opposite direction for the Juuban Disctict public library.
"Thanks for coming with me Minako.", Usagi smiled. "I really appreciate it. Are you sure you are ok...to walk?" Usagi giggled, trying to contain her hysterical laughter.
Minako sweatdropped, "Yes Usagi. I am fine. My feet are going to be ok. You can laugh now. It's ok. I don't mind"
Usagi then burst into hysterical laughter making comments upon hysterical comments about Minako and her bandaged feet. She even pointed out EVERYTIME Minako stumbled or fell down during the study session because of the bandages. This started to annoy Minako as a vein twitched above her head. Minako pulled two cans of juice out from her coat pocket and handed one to Usagi. Usagi said her thanks and the two walked off in their quest to the Juuban District Public Library.
