~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's an early saturday morning and Mamoru and Usagi are running through the park as usual. And Mamoru was teasing Usagi as they ran, as usual.
"Can't you ever keep your balance?"
"SHUT UP!"
"Make me, ohh wait I forgot, you can't even CATCH me!"
"Ohhhh YOU'RE SO....!"
"Sexy?" Mamoru suggested
"CONCIETED! AND STUPID AND UGLY AND-" Usagi's rant was cut short because she slipped and fell on her face. Mamoru stopped to help her up and then started running and laughing again. Usagi chased him, embarrased and determined to show him up.
I'll show that jerk-face she spent the rest of that hour trying to trip him with out success.He was just too good of a runner and he had excellent balance from years of martial arts training. Finally, Mamoru stopped to take a sip from his water bottle and to enjoy the scenery when he was tackled from behind. With a scream, he fell face first into the lake.
"HAH!" Usagi laughed as his head broke the surface.
"So you think thats funny huh?"
"Yes I think so."
"Well I think *This* is funnier." Mamoru laughed as he grabbed her by the ankle and pulled Usagi into the lake with him. A MAJOR waterfight followed until they were interupted by the arrival of Mako-chan, Minako-chan and Mootoki-kun.They had rented a rowboat and were rowing across the lake.
"Oooooh are we interrupting something?" Minako grinned.
"NOOOOOOO!" Usagi yelled. "Get your mind out of the gutter Minako-chan"
"Touchy, isn't she?" Makoto whispered to Mootoki
"Then maybe we DID interupt something." He whispered back.
"I HEARD that!" Usagi shreeked. Mamoru just laughed. "Don't you care? They're talking about you too!"
"What can I do? We were caught in the act."
"NO we WEREN'T!!"
"Oh give it up already Usagi." Minako grinned mischiouvously. "Wait till I tell Rei!"
"No you're NOT! "
"How are you gonna stop me!!" Minako stuck out her tongue.
"Guys, stop fighting. Do you two want a ride?" Mootoki offered. He and Makoto helped them onto the rowboat. They talked for awile.
"What are you guys up too? Usagi questioned as she wrung some of the water out of her long golden hair.
"Some computer whiz kid put a bug into the archade games that made them all give money instead of tickets when you won a game." mootoki explained.
"It was SOOO cool." Minako gushed."I was playing Sailor V and I got like twenty bucks."
"Anyway, by the time the manager realised what was happening, there was a huge crowd and it was pretty hectic. They didn't know how to fix the machines so they closed the archade and gave me the day off."
"Cool." Usagi grinned. "I wish I'd been there....."
Mamoru noticed Usagi's grin fade. He realised she was still upset about being banned from the archade. Before he could stop himself, He brushed a lock of wet hair from her eyes and smiled at her. Usagi looked up at him and smiled. But then she remembered who he was and scowled. Luckily from them, none of their friends noticed this.
"So how much money did you guys get." Usagi asked eagerly, trying to forget how gentle mamoru's touch felt.
"I got $37.50 ." Minako announced proudly.
"17.75" Makoto said. Everyone looked at Mootoki expectantly.
"What?"
"How much did you get?"
"$117.50."
"Wow. How're you guys gonna spend it all?" Usagi asked, incredably jealous. How come they machines hadn't given out money when SHE went there?
"Clothes of course! Have you seen that new leather mini-skirt on sale at the Gap?" Minako said. Her eyes glazed over as she imagined how hot she would look in it.She'd have to hire a bodyguard to protect her from all the boys who would chase her.
"Oh yeah, those are sooo cute!"
"I want that purse I showed you from Abercrombie, remember, the striped one?" Makoto reminded them.
"We should go shopping today!" Usagi exclaimed.
"AGAIN? Didn't you just go shopping three days ago?" Mootoki groaned.
"Actually, it was two days ago." Minako grinned "Besides you can never do too much shopping."
"Enough talking, lets go!" Usagi said and the girls jumped off the boat and ran towards the Downtown Tokyo Shopping Center.
Mootoki and Mamoru watched them run off and then Mootoki realized:
"Aww sh-t! They didn't pay thier share of the boat rental bill!"
"How much is it?"
"Fifty-seven bucks." Mootoki pulled out his wallet." Hey Mamoru could you split the bill with me?"
"I don't know why I should be paying for this, I only rode on this thing for five minutes." He grumbled as he pulled out his wallet and handed Mootoki a couple of twenties.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the mall, The girls are in a shopping frenzy, hitting store after store after store. Usagi had stpped at a hair salon to have her hair blow-dryed and she had bought a new outfit at old navy since her jogging suit was soaking wet from the lake. At The Gap, Usagi was checking out the rows and rows of sports-wear hmmmm.... which would Mamoru like mo-wait I don't care what that JERK thinks!!!! after bringing a BAZILLION things into the fitting room to try on she had to ask the attendant to bring her smaller sizes, several times. Even though she ate a TON of food everyday, she was incredably slim. AS a result, it was aslways hard for her to find clothes small enough to fit her.The snotty salesperson remarked loudly to her snotty salesperson friend. "Why dosent that flat chested b*tch just go to baby gap, more stuff would fit her THERE." Usagi felt really embarressed. She knew she wasn't that big in the chest but she didn't like it shouted out in a crowded area.
"WHAT?!" Makoto said, busting out of her fitting room stall. "Who the HELL do you think you are? Just because you're Fat and ugly doesn't mean you can insult my friend!!"
"Do I have to ask you to leave?" The snooty salesperson's friend said giving Makoto a LOOK. Makoto glared back defiantly.
"Do I hafta REMIND you what your job description is? YOU are paid to put the clothes on the racks for US.So why don't you both SHUT UP and do your jobs!"
"I can just call the manager." The snotty salesperson threatened
"Maybe I should do it first!" Makoto countered. They were starting to make a big scene, everyone was staring. Minako and Usagi were trying to calm down Makoto "We'll just leave okay" Usagi was saying even though she was pretty upset herself.
"Ladies are we having a problem here?" The middle-aged manager asked, stepping between Makoto and the snotty salesperson.
"These girls are causing a disturbance." The snotty salesperson told her but the manager ignored her, she was always starting trouble. "Miss, what happened?" Makoto told her the whole story and the manager glared at the two salespersons.
"Miss, what I'm going to do for you and your friends is give you a very, very large discount. We are sorry that you were mistreated by our staff. Here at the Gap, our customers always come first."
"Wow, thanks" They exclaimed.
"And the discount will be taken from *your* paychecks" The manager said, glaring at the salespersons again. "One more incident like this and you wont get a paycheck, you'll be fired, understand?" The salespersons bowed their heads in shame and slinked off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So thats how Usagi ended up buying $150 worth of Gap sportswear for $65.
Meanwhile Mamoru and Mootoki were hunting for the girls, angry about having to pay the rental bill.
"Whare are those girls... Mamoru muttered. They had gone to Express, Abercrombie, OLd Navy, Claire's, and about a dozen other girl stores but they still hadn't found them. Now They were debating about Victoria secret.
"I'm NOT going in that store!!" Mootoki shook his head. "Nah ah, no way, I'm not even going NEAR there!"
"What are you so afraid of? Mamoru asked.
"What if someone sees us!"
"Then we tell them we're getting a gift for our girlfriends." Mamoru said.
"hmmm... That could work!"
They walk into the store, both slightly blushing at the sight of all the longuerei. Not wanting to linger, Mamoru takes a quick look around and says.
"THey're not here. Let's go."
Just then, someone behind them called out:
"Mootoki WHAT are you doing in here?!?!" They turned around to see Mootoki's little sister Unazaku staring at them with an impish grin on her face. Unzazaku was about 13 years old and loved to tease her older brother. They often fought but somehow they were still pretty close. "And You're here too Mamoru? What's going on?"
"We're umm... getting gifts for our girlfriends." Mootoki stammered.
"You're lying. " She said."I read your diary and it doesn't say anything about a girlfriend."
"You keep a diary?" Mamoru burst out laughing.
"It's called a JOURNAL! And I told you not to read it!" He glared at his little sister.
"Just tell me why you're really here... You're not cross-dressing are you?"
"NOO!!" Mootoki yelled." Okay we're looking for some girls we know."
"Who?"
"Do you know USagi, minako and Makoto?" Mamoru asked. Unazaku shook her head. "On of them has odango's on her head."
"OHHHH!! I saw a girl like that headed to the food court just now, if you run you can still catch them. "THanks Una-chan I owe you one!"
When they met up at the food court the girls pacify Mootoki and Mamoru by offering to buy them ice-cream. Mamoru and Mootoki ordered huge double fudge sundeas that cost twelve bucks each. The girls had to buy single scoop cones because the sundeas cost so much.:( After they had finished eating the girls made Mamoru and Mootoki carry thier numerous shopping bags as they continued thier massive shopping spree. They went to a jewelry store and the girls drooled over the fine jewelry. Usagi stared longingly at a silver star shaped locket. It was gorgeous but a look at the price tag told her it cost about six months worth of her allowance.
"THat's pretty isn't it!" Minako grinned. "It looks like something a princess would have."
"Yeah." Usagi sighed wistfully. She turned her gaze from the locket and looked at the less expensive, but still beautiful jewelry. An adorable pink beaded neckleace caught her eye. She slipped it on and admired how pretty it looked on her dainty wrist. They came in every color, so she decided to buy one for all her friends as well as herself. Gold for Minako, Emerald for Makoto, Scarlet for Rei and a pale ice blue for Ami-chan. They were all her very best friends, even though Rei always teased her. Usagi was careful that the girls didn't see their gifts when she went to the cashier. Afterwards they coninued shopping. The girls gave new meaning to the phrase "Shop till you drop". They didn't intend to go home until the mall closed or they maxed out their parents credit cards.
"You know Mamoru-kun, why don't you ever change that ugly green jacket." Usagi asked.
"It's not ugly, it's extremly fashionable!" Mamoru protested. and everyone sweatdropped.
"Maybe it is inside your twisted little head, but here in the real world its tacky as hell!" Usagi laughed once she had recovered.
"Well Mamoru, Usagi-chan *is* right" Mootoki said "That jacket is a bit tacky"
"Mootoki, I though you were supposed to be my best friend!"
"Best friends keep each other from dressing like a dork" Makoto said, coming to Mootoki's defense.
"Well why don't you just buy a new jacket to wear everywhere?" Minako asked.
"I LIKE MY JACKET!!!" Mamoru yelled but the group ignored him since they were allready huddled in a circle making plans.
"Guys, we're responsible for operation: Find Mamoru a New Jacket. We'll split up and regroup by the wishing well in thirty minutes. I'll stay with Mamoru to keep him from sneaking out of the mall and going home before the mission can be completed." usagi explained.
"How come YOU wanna stay with Mamoru?" Mako asked slyly, "Is there something we should know about you two?"
"NO!!! Besides *I'm* the brains of this operation. Now lets MOVE!"
~~~~~~
Thirty minutes later Minako, Makoto,Mootoki, Usagi and a neatly hog-tied Mamoru met up at the wishing well.
"Usagi-chan, couldn't you have thought of a better way to keep Mamoru-kun from running off?" Makoto asked after she had stopped laughing.
"NO WAY! You should see how fast he runs!"
"This is priceless" Minako gasped, pulling out her handy digital camera. "Say cheese Mamoru"
"Ha ha ha, take a.... picture with my.... my camera too!" Mootoki managed to gasp.
"This is NOT funny" Mamoru glared at them through gritted teeth.
After everyone finished laughing at Mamoru-kun's expense, they took turns showing what they had picked out and Usagi commented on each one:
Makoto pulled out a denim jacket from the Gap her new *favorite* store.-"Too preppy"
Mootoki showed them a black jacket that looked exactly like Mamoru's green one except for the color- "Too boring, my DAD has one just like that!"
Minako pulled out a cute yellow and orange jacket from Old Navy- "Minako thats way too girly, why the hell would Mamoru wear *that*?"
"Actually its for me." Everyone sweatdropped "THIS is for Mamoru-kun."
"Wow... now THAT has some possibilities." Usagi smiled, "What do you think Mamoru-kun?
"Whatever you say, just untie me? ..... Please ..... I hafta go to the bathroom...."
Minako had picked out a rock-star style black leather jacket (hmmmmm.... dangerous). When Mamoru returned from the little boys room he paid Minako back for the $250 she had spent (with the help of her moms credit card). They left the mall happy and contented (except for Mamoru who wondered how he could have blown three hundred bucks in one day and he didn't even LIKE shopping!)
