Usagi reached the designated 'playing field' - a large cleared portion of the park rarely used anymore - threw her bag down, slipped on her glove and caught the ball flying for Minako. "oomph Hey guys!!" yelling while waving the ball and glove in the air, she threw it to Ami.
"Hello Hime, where have you been?"
"Yeah, we were getting' worried about you Odango Atama!"
"Yea Usa-ma!" Sokai added in with a pout, hands on her small hips. Usagi smiled at her.
"Sorry darlin', guys, I stopped off and talked to some friends before coming here... sorry I was late."
Friends? The others looked around the field. All friends present and accounted for... who'd she talk to? "Alright, spill girlfriend! Who'd you talk to?"
Startled Usagi's head snapped Minako's way, "Erm... just two guys..." they were starting to advance on her now like a pack of hungry wolves... Had she said the wrong thing? She backed away eyeing each wearily.
"What guys?"
"Yeah who!? You gotta tell us who!"
Seeing this for what it was she stopped backing away and smiled. "Well if you just have to know... it was Duo and Wufei."
That seemed to be the correct answer for Minako bounded over to her in one jumped grabbing her by the shoulders shaking her. "You talked to Duo!? Duo Maxwell!?"
"Umm yes?" she squeaked.
"WOW!!"
Rei walked over to them, "And Chang Wufei also?! Man! Some girls have all the luck!" she almost looked dejected, but her sights were elsewhere.
"How did you meet them Usagi-chan?" Ami asked tilting her blue head to the side, "As far as I'm aware of no one of our group has meet with Maxwell-san before."
An unsettling smirk crossed Usagi's face as she threw the softball up, caught it and repeated the action several times over. "Well..." she drawled out, "I saw 'em on the street, decided since I had some extra time, I'd talk to them." A grin, "So we went to the coffee shop, had a few while talking, noticed I was late, and here I am!" giving a small jump to empathize the point.
"Riiight... sure you did Usa..."
Makoto blinked, "Usa-chan... you, don't drink... coffee."
Rei's hands went up in a tickling movement, fingers wagging, a manic look to her violet orbs.
"Alright! Alright!" Usagi backed away pulling Sokai in front of her for protection, the small girl giggled at it. "I did see them on the street! I bought a strawberry shake and talked to them 'til I noticed I was late. And here I am!"
"Now that..." Minako started smiling widely, "I can believe." The others laughed.
"Should've brought 'em along with you girlfriend! We've got enough stuff." Brunet hair swung as its owner turned motioning to the baseball bag loaded with extra equipment, "Plenty to go 'round." winking.
"Yeah, well, sorry guys. They had other plans... or so I heard." Throwing the ball to Rei the game started up again.

"Its nice here, I'm glad we decided to move from the colonies here... fresh air and bight flowers!" he sighed in exhale.
"hmm..."
Giggles, "Man of many words jus-"
"HEY LOOK OUT!!"
"WHOA DUUCK!!"
Voices came from their right warning them of something. The taller youth looked around before glancing up. One visible eye widened a fraction as he jumped forward catching the falling object in one smooth motion.
"Good one!"
"Allah... Trowa... thanks." The blonde sighed gathering his nerves back together. It had been coming for him.
"Hey mister!" a small girl looking around five or six came running up to them, "Are you okay mister?"
Nodding smiling, "Y-yes I am, thank you..."
"Here you go."
The calm soothing voice brought the girls smoky gray eyes upwards to the other man, his hand extended down with the ball in it. "Thank you!" she chirped before turning around smiling happily, "HEY USA-MA!! QUATRE-SAN'S OKAAAYYY!!!"
Both were startled the child knew his name. Glancing at his taller companion Quatre looked to where the girl was smiling. There stood five young women, each wearing a glove, faces showing relived worry that all was fine. But in the middle of them all, stood a stunning bright blonde haired girl with buns 'n streamers on either side of her head, her un-gloved hand held over her heart. Feeling the relief radiating off of her in waves he smiled, finally recognizing the face.
"Come on Trowa" tugging on the others sleeve before starting off after the smaller girl, "Lets go say hi."
"......"
The girls smiled if a bit sheepishly.
"Usagi! Its good to see you again!"
She smiled just as the small girl did moments before, placing her hands on the smaller shoulders of the girl that stood in front of her. "Quatre-kun! Trowa-san! I'm glad you're both alright. Good catch Trowa!"
"Yeah really! Wanna play?" Minako winked at him.
"Ohhh yeah!" Sokai squealed, "We can play four against four!"
"I don't know..." Makoto shook her head, challenge in her voice, "Quatre might not want to play..."
Quirking a golden brow, said boy moved for the ball bag snatching two gloves, tossing one to his taller friend, "I'm in. Lets go!"
Sending a wink to the other girls, they split into two groups of four. Usagi, Quatre, Sokai and Makoto were on team one. Rei, Minako, Ami and Trowa were on team two. And the games began!

They left that afternoon in high spirits, waving to each other before going to their respective homes. There was a lot to do, lot to think about. Five more days... only five more days until the 25th of May, AC199... Graduation Day.
There were clothes to set out, hair plans to think over, after graduation parties to attend! So much to do before the end of their childhood and the beginning of their adulthood. It would be strange they knew, at first to get acquainted with not having school to attend in the mornings, Sensei's bickering at you to be still, quiet and getting the questions right.
It'd be an adventure that was certain.
But until then... The closing week at school for Seniors was spent double checking that all class credits were indeed, acquired, all work was turned in and accounted for, lockers were cleaned out, goodbye's were said and advice given to those that needed it for support when they left. But most of all... it was spent relaxing... they had worked doubly hard for the ceremony that was to happen in five days.
They deserved it.
In five days... They were going to be Free.
