Hey, I'm trying to get this out as fast as possible, but you can't rush art, right? Heh...right...Anyway...So, hopefully I can get this story wrapped up soon, but I have no idea how it's gonna end!
After they talked to the doctor and told him that Mamoru wanted to do the experimental treatment, Usagi drove Mamoru to his house.
"Mamoru, you know, since you can't drive now, I was wondering...can I use your car! I can drive you wherever you need to go, and I promise I'll be careful," she pleaded, making big puppy dog eyes at him. Then she realized he couldn't see, and settled for crooning pathetically for the car.
"Alright, alright! It's not like I can do much with it anyway," Mamoru chuckled.
"Thanks, Mamo-chan!" Usagi beamed as she threw herself around his neck.
"Okay, okay, that's enough, I've gotta get some rest! It's been a busy day," Mamoru smiled, while pulling her off of him.
"Well, alright. But don't forget the eyedrops the doctor prescribed! Once in the morning and once at night. Oh, I hope it works," She sighed.
"You and me both, Odango!" He laughed before jumping nimbly out of the car to avoid her flailing fists.
"You baka! Come back here! You know, for being blind, you can movie pretty fast!" she yelled from the car as he disappeared into apartment complex. Fortunately, he had one of those white canes, and she was confidant that he knew his apartment forwards and backwards and could get there with little trouble, even blind. So, she smiled smuggly as she drove off in the beautiful car.
As she was driving, Usagi flipped out her cell phone and called the girls, telling them that they all had to be at the arcade and waiting for her in 30 minutes because they were going for a girls night out.
"Really? You're taking us out for a night on the town!" Makoto had squealed in delight, causing Usagi to have to hold the phone out 3 inches from her ear.
"Awesome! Oh, now I have to decide what color shoes I should wear. And that means I have to change my purse..." Minako babbled on.
"Usagi, are you sure? Would Mamoru be okay with you driving us all over town on a whim?" the ever-practical Ami asked, before agreeing.
"Sweet! What kind of car is it?" Hoshi asked.
"What are we gonna do? Are we gonna go to a movie! I love movies! Or we could come over here and watch The Exorcist! I love that movie!" Rei rambled on like that for a few minutes.
When the girls were all finally together, it was a tight squeeze into the little sports car. Hoshi sat propped uncomfortably on Makoto's knees, and Rei was stuffed in the middle while Usagi drove crazily along much to the complaint of Ami.
"Where to, ladies?" Usagi grinned at the faces in the rear-view mirror.
"The mall!"
"The movies!"
"Just keep driving! This thing rides sweet!"
"Let's go out to eat!"
"The park!"
"Well, I can see this is gonna be tough," Usagi sighed.
She held up her fingers, named each one after her friends, and slapped her hand on the dash. Since her ring finger, which had been named after Minako, hurt most, she yelled, "We're going to the mall!" and squealed around the corner.
"STOP DOING THAT!" Ami yelled.
"BWAHAHAHA! NEVER!" Usagi yelled back, her words being whipped from her mouth by the wind.
The others just sat back and tried to enjoy the ride without suffering too much motion sickness.
After a few more heart-stopping turns, they arrived at Minako's shrine, The Mall. This wasn't just any mall. It was a three story, glass-domed, multi-million dollar structure with close to one thousand stores in it. People had gone into the clothing department of one of the larger stores once, and were found two weeks later having survived only by eating the mens slacks, which they consequentally had to pay for. They reportedly enjoyed the polyester blends best.
The girls got out, and after Minako had kissed the building once or ten times, they walked inside and allowed the various sights and smells of The Mall to assault their senses.
"It's like I die and go to heaven everytime I come here," Minako sighed.
"Well, you're far from being an angel, so come on, Mina," Makoto dragged at Minako's sleeve.
"Humph. Fine, let's go to Express! (A/N: Sorry to anyone that's insane and doesn't like that store, or doesn't know what it is, but it happens to be my favorite) They're having a sale on jeans!" and with that, she rushed off into the stylish clothing store and was followed around by the sales ladies who now knew her by name and knew exactly what the limit on her credit card was.
Okay! I finally got that chapter done! It turned out nothing like what I was planning on, but then, they rarely do. I know, it's pretty stupid at the end, but I wanted to lighten the mood. Thanks for all the reviews! I'm sorry for being so slow about updating now, but I'm trying. I'm gonna get slower, too, because I'm gonna be getting a job. Woot! I'm gonna be 16 in 6 days! Okay, well, flames are just as welcome as praise, so long as they're constructive!
