After parting with her friends Usagi skipped to Mamoru's house. She let herself in with her key. But Mamoru wasn't sitting in the living room like he usually was. She heard the sound of water running and assumed he was taking a shower. Usagi started to sit on his couch to wait for him to finish when her stomach growled.
"Mamoru wouldn't mind If I had a teeny snack." Usagi reasoned. she headed to his kitched and peered inside his refridgerator. It was crammed with Tv Dinners, soda cans and remains of fast food.
He really must be a horrible cook Usagi shut the fridge and started oppening cabinets There's got to be some real food here....
Finally she found what she wanted... One of the cabinets was stuffed to the brim with junk food! She grabbed a huge bag of doritos and a bottle of coke. She took the food back to the living room and inhaled it in a few minutes. Then she went back to the kitchen and searched around for something else.
Near the back of the cabinet Usagi found a HUGE chocolate cake! Immediatly, she took a slice and was astounded, the cake was soooo yummy!! She ate slowly, savoring each bite. Time passed as she ate, but she was so into the chocolate yummyness that she didn't notice. Nor did she notice Mamoru sneaking up to her with what looked like a huge stick until he was right behind her.
"EEEEEEKK Don't hurt me!!" Usagi screeched.
"Usagi, what are you doing here!?!"
"What are you talking about? I come here everyday, remember?"
"Didn't you beg me for a day off this morning so you could go shopping with Minako and Makoto?"
"Oh yeah. We couldn't go." Usagi pouted.
"Why?"
"we speant so much money last time mom and Dad wouldn't let me borrow their credit card again. I don't know what's wrong with them, I didn't even max it out that time!" Mamoru rolled his eyes.
"You need to learn to be more economisizing."
"What, and be a miser like you? No thanks."
"I'm not a miser."
"Yeah right. I've never seen you waste money."
"I bought that leather jacket."
"That's only because we made you buy it!"
"Fine, you wanna see me waste money?" Mamoru walked over to the balcony, took out his wallet and threw a few hundred-dollar bills into the wind. "There, am I still a miser now?"
"No, but if you wanted to throw away money you could have just given it to me! I would have bought a new minskirt." Usagi pouted.
"Why are you so hard to please?" Mamoru asked exasperatledly
"I am not." Usagi protested. "Hey what's that you're carrying?"
"Oh this?" Mamoru showed it to her. It was a large model of DNA, about the length of a baseball bat. "I made it back when I took Biology, in my freshman year." Usagi started to giggle.
"Only you would keep something like that! You're such a nerd Mamoru!" She cut herself another slice of cake and crammed it into her mouth. Mamoru finally noticed what she was doing.
"Hey, that's mine! When did I say you could have that?"
"Oops. Sorry mamoru." Usagi smiled innocently. It was just sitting there...Here you can have the rest!"
"Gee, thanks usagi." Mamoru said drily. Only a small slice was left.
"I'm really sorry." She said contritely. "Please don't be mad, I'll make it up to you, I promise!"
"How do you plan on doing that?" Mamoru asked. Usagi remembered the state of his refridgerator.
"I'll treat you to dinner."
"Fine." Mamoru agreed right away. He was starting to get sick of fast food.
"Where are we going?" Mamoru asked. Instead of walking towards Main street, where the restaraunts were, they were headed towards a more resedential area.
"You'll see." Mamoru didn't know what to make of this but he decided to just go along with it.
They finally reached their destination: Makoto's apartment. Usagi banged on the door until Makoto answered.
"Usagi, what do you want,?"
"Jeez, is that anyway to greet your best friend." Usagi pouted.
"Sorry Usagi but I'm watching American Idol!"
"Okay then, I'll make it quick. I was wondering if I could have some leftovers from your last catering gig?"
Makoto did catering to support herself,since her parents had died years ago. Even than she was younger than most other caterers, she got lots of business because her food was always very good. Usagi always begged Mako for the leftovers. Makoto quickly filled a picnic basket with some goddies and shoved it at Usagi."
"Here."
"You're the greatest Mako-chan!"
"Whatever. Next time you want food, don't ask during American Idol."
Usagi then dragged a bewildered Mamoru to the park. The sun was just setting and it looked gorgeous. The sky was ablaze with color. They sat on a bench admiring the beauty. Finally, Usagi opened the picnic basket. Inside were a dozen hors d'vours, a tray of sandwiches, two bottles of coke and another HUGE chocolate cake. Ignoring everything else Mamoru grabbed the cake and cut a slice."
"MMMM..... This is good."
"Hey, you have a sweet tooth just like me!"
"Alright I admit it. "Mamoru grinned. "Chocolate is my only weakness."
"So do you forgive me now?"
"Of course." Mamoru cut another slice. "I wasn't even that mad in the first place."
"Since you forgive me...." Before she could ask, Mamoru handed her a slice of cake.
"Mmmmmm.... THanks." She took a bite. It was even tastier than the one she'd eaten at mamoru's.
"Makoto really is something." Mamoru said thoughtfully. "The cakes I buy at the expensive bakeries are nothing compared to this!"
"Yeah." Usagi agreed, suppressing her unexplicable feeling of jealousy. Why should she be jealous that Mamoru was complimenting Makoto. Why should she care?
They finished the cake and then started eating the rest of the food. Everything was delicious. When they had finished, the sun had set and the night sky was filled with twinkling stars.
"I guess it's too late to study now, huh?" Usagi asked.
"Yeah." Mamoru agreed." But I think it was good for us to have little break. Too much studying isn't good for you."
"I completly agree!" Usagi checked her watch. "I gotta go home now, but I had a lot of fun."
"Me too. We should do this again."
"Does that mean I can eat the next cake you buy?"
"NO! Don't mess with my chocolate cake. I let you off easy this time, but next time I won't be so lenient."
"Oh really?" Usagi taunted. Just then that wierd, giddy feeling that had plagued her since thier midnight run came rushing back. She fought back the giggles that were begging to escape. Mamoru already thought she was clutzy, he didn't need to think she was crazy too. But crazy was how she was starting to feel.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud laugh.
"OOOOH! Usagi, I telling Mom and DAD." Shingo laughed, snapping away with his new camera. "I caught you on a date with your boyfriend!"
"We're not on a date!"
"That's not what it looks like." Shingo taunted. "I wonder if mom and dad will think so when I show them this picture?"
"You wouldn't DARE!"
"That's what you think!" Shingo laughed and ran off. Usagi ran after him.
"Come back here!!!!" She called over her shoulder."Bye Mamoru, I gotta go pound that twerp. See you tommorow!"
"Oooooh do you have another date tommorow?" Shingo taunted in the distance.
"You are so DEAD!!" Usagi screeched.
