~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi was walking down the streets of Tokyo, absent-minded and perky as usual. She had been jogging regularly with Mamoru for more than two and a half weeks now and was feeling rather fit. She walked past a Gym and started imagining what she would look like with a buff body like the woman weight lifters she saw on ESPN. Most of them looked like men with boobs but a few of them looked really cool. Though she was in much better shape, she *still* couldn't outrun Mamoru-kun. That guy was insanly fast. But maybe a little extra working-out would help........
She jumped onto one of the machines and enthusiastically started exercising. This wasn't hard at all.
"UH Odango, you forgot to add weight." A familiar voice snickered behind her.
"Rei-chan, what're you doing here?" Usagi smiled, forgetting to get angry. She had missed her friend so much because Rei had been taking more responsibilty for the shrine and as a consequence, didn't have much time to hang out.
"How else do you think I keep this good looking body?" Rei said, striking a sultry pose and winking over her shoulder at a couple of drooling guys.heh heh, works everytime
"Why are YOU here anyway?" Usagi filled her in on the events of the past few weeks. Rei looked a bit jealous I'd like to go jogging with Mamoru... alone....dangit, Usagi-chan gets all the luck! And so they spent most of the afternoon working out and chatting about the latest gossip.
~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi arrived at Mamoru's apartment at 5:00pm. After thier standard hour of studying and homework Mamoru handed Usagi-chan a necklace with two keys on it.
"Whats that for? My birthady is in June." Usagi asked.
"Actually I'm uh....sorta going away on a two-day trip with the boys track team. Could you feed Nephlyte, Jedite , Zoisite and Kunzite for me?" He asked meaning his four goldfish. (Usagi didn't like them much because they always seemed to be staring at her. When they had first started thier tutoring/video gaming session she had told Mamoru that. He just laughed at her and advised her to stare back at them. Usagi had gotten anoyed and thrown a pillow at him. Anyway, back to the present...)
"Whatever, what's the other key for?"
"Since you're feeding my fish I figured I would let you have a key to my archade.... but you'd better NOT invite all your friends and have a gaming rave in my apartment!" Mamoru warned.
"Okay okay," Usagi agreed pulling out her new key to Mamoru's archade. "Now lets play some games! What do you have today?"
"Sailor V: Illusions." Mamoru informed her smugly.
"Really!!!!" Usagi squealed."But that's not supposed to be out for three weeks! How did you get it?"
"I have my ways." Mamoru answered mysteriously.
"Well get ready to lose!"
"No way, YOU'RE the one who's gonna lose."
"I bet you five bucks I'll beat you!"
"You're on!"
~~~~~~~~~~
"That was so fun!" Usagi grinned once they finally quit playing, more than four hours later."It was great even though it was so hard."
"Yeah" Mamoru yawned. "This is the best Sailor V game yet."
"Well I gotta get home soon."
"Aren't you forgetting something?"
"What do you mean?" Usagi asked innocently.
"Didn't we have a bet?"
"I don't remember any bet."
"Yes you do."
"You're not really gonna make me pay are you? You're rich anyway."
"So, you made the bet."
"Oh alright." She pulled out a crumpled five-dollar bill out of her pocket. "Remind me not to make bets with you ever again."
"Your just a sore loser!"
"And your just a miser."
"Oooh, I'm a miser? Do you even know what that word means?"
"YES! It means stingy, Mamoru-Baka!"
"Wow, you actually looked at the flash cards I gave you." Mamoru smiled. "If I didn't know better, I'd say you were turning into a nerd."
"No way,I'm not gonna turn into a nerd like you, I like having a life!"
"And what makes you think I don't have one?" Usagi paused for a minute, trying to think of a smart retort but she was so annoyed she couldn't think of any.
"Oh whatever."
"Oh whatever"
"Stop mocking me!"
"Stop mocking me."
"See, now who's the one acting junvenile?"
"Well, you started it so it's your fault." Mamoru pretended to pout. For some reason Usagi gazed at his lips. They looked soft. I wonder what it would be like to kiss th- Ewwwww I can't think about kissing him. I'd catch cooties! Suddenly, she realised how late it was
"What time is is?" Darien checked his watch.
"It's almost ten."
"OH MY GOSH!! I told mom I'd be home by 8:00! Oh no! I'm so dead!" She moaned
"I'm sorry, do you want a ride?" Mamoru offered.
"No way in hell am I coming home on your motorcycle, If my dad sees me he'll go balistic! I'll just take the bus, seeya!" Usagi ran out the door. Mamoru started cleaning up. Was it just him or did his apartment seem much gloomier after Usagi left? He always acted annoyed by her, but the truth was, he was actually starting to enjoy hanging out with her.
Fifteen minutes later Usagi walked back into the room, her head hanging from embarrasment. Mamoru stared blankly at her.
"I thought you were going home?"
"I don't have enough money for the bus." Mamoru burst out laughing. "It's not funny!! Stop lauging." Usagi glared at him. "You're such a jerk"
"Sorry. Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I sorta forgot. Anyways it's your fault for being such a miser!"
"Well you're the one who made the bet." Mamoru reminded her. He pulled a twenty from his wallet. "Here take a cab, you'll get home faster."
"Thanks Mamoru." Usagi hugged him. "But I still think you're a concieted miser."
"whatever, don't you hafta get home?"
"Oh yeah, I'm sooooo late!!!!" Usagi sprinted out the door. Mamoru chuckled and went back to straightening up his apartment
~~~~~~~
"Usagi-chan, where were you?" Ikuko asked her daughter as she walked through the door twenty-nine minutes later.
"Mom, I-" Usagi began.
"Ikuko, I'll handle this!" Kenji said through gritted teeth." YOUNG LADY WHERE WERE YOU? YOUR MOTHER AND I WERE WORRIED! WE ASKED SPECIFICALLY THAT YOU BE HOME BY 8:00 AND YOU SHOW UP TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATE!!"
"Usagi, we don't ask much of you, we let you hang out with your friends as often as you like but you can't even come home on time when we ask you. Have we failed as parents?'' Ikuko's hurt tone was even worse than Kenji's yelling.
"She was probably with her boyfriend, she's always running in the park with him" Shingo called from the living room.
"HAVE YOU BEEN SPYING ON ME AGAIN YOU LITTLE BRAT!?!" Usagi yelled at her little brother.
"What's this about a boyfriend?" Kenji asked tight-faced."I've told you before you're not allowed to date until you're twenty-one!"
"Dad, he's just my friend."
"Thats what they all say until they end up pregnant, on welfare and working at Mcdonalds." Kenji yelled
"Dear, calm down, I'm sure she has a resonable explanation." Ikuko said, trying to calm her red-faced husband. Usagi felt bad she *couldn't* tell her parents what she had been doing because she wasn't supposed to be playing video games. So she had no choice but to act like the misunderstood adolescent.
"You guys NEVER trust me!" She wailed "I've been much more responsible and I do my schoolwork but do you guys care? NO! I'm never good enough, and you all hate me!" With that Usagi ran up to her room. whooh, that was a close call
~~~~~~~
"Usagi-kins can I come in" Kenji asked.
"I suppose so" Usagi answered, pretending to pout.
"I'm sorry about before, but I can't help but worry about you." Kenji said sitting down on her bed."Everyday you grow up more and more and I'm scared you'll make some of the stupid mistakes I made when I was your age."
"You made mistakes?"
"Of course." Kenji grimaced as he remembered."I dropped out of high school when I was your age to work at mcdonald's
"You worked at Mcdonald's" Usagi laughed at the idea of her middle-aged father asking people 'you want fries with that?'
"Yeah, back then it was the cool thing to do. I didn't even go to college. That's why I want you to do good in school so you don't have to have the same problems I did."
"Daddy, you just hafta *trust* me more." Usagi said as if she was still hurt but really she wanted to laugh. I gotta remember this for the future, the misunderstood adolescent, works like a charm "You and mommy did a *great* job raising me. I'm sorry we don't understand each other more."
"I'm sorry about what I said about you'r *friend* Maybe I'll rethink the rules and let you date when youre twenty."
"Thanks a lot Dad, you're so understanding" she said, hugging her father.
"Sweet dreams Usagi-kins"
"Oh and Daddy..."
"Yes?"
"Why *did* you want me home at 8:00?"
"Oh, you're mother made your favorite dinner to congradulate you for improving in your schoolwork. Bye sweetie"
Groan..... now *I* feel guilty.... and hungry...
"Bye Daddy"
