Chapter 2 is here people. Not that anyone has read the first…in that case it must seem a little weird that I'm talking to no one…uh anyway here's chapter two.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or am I in anyway related to or associated with Naoko Takeuchi but again I say I can still dream…
Rini's mind raced "I have to fix this I have to!"
She walked back upstairs carefully then stomped down so that Bunny could pull herself together. She entered the kitchen to find Bunny smiling brightly and talking about cherry blossoms with Mina. Bunny looked at Rini, "Ready to go?" She said a little too brightly.
"You bet!" Rini answered just as bright. "There is a really great sale down town today."
As they walked past the vivid shop windows Rini looked at Bunny. She looked sad too sad for anyone to look.
"Wow Bunny look at those shoes they're just like the ones you saw on TV last night!" Mina exclaimed, "You have to get them, 75 off too! It's a sign it's going to be a great day."
They rushed inside every size was sold out except Bunny's.
"And look they're in your favorite color!" Rini said enthusiastically.
After they almost cleaned out their pockets in the store Mina suggested that they go get some lunch at the arcade.
When they had placed their orders with Andy (Who seemed very disappointed that Lita wasn't with them!) they sat at the counter slurping their sodas when Rini looked over at the games to see an oh too familiar face.
"Oh no, thought Rini, No not now."
"Hey Rini isn't that cutie over there in your class?" Asked Mina a little to loudly for Rini's liking.
"Yea I guess." Rini mumbled again turning beet red hoping Bunny wouldn't notice. She did, Bunny immediately made the connection to that morning.
"So you were thinking of nothing this morning huh Rini?" Bunny asked wisely.
Rini replied by turning even redder.
"What's his name Rini?" asked Mina thoroughly enjoying herself.
"Kyusuke" Rini mumbled.
"Cute" Bunny and Mina said at the same time then giggled like crazy embarrassing Rini even further.
"Go talk to him." Said Mina practically throwing Rini in his direction.
"No I don't think I should I don't want to bother him or anything—"
"Hi Rini what's up?" Said Kyusuke walking over to where Rini stood mortified.
"Um nothing just here with my uh… just a few friends." Rini said looking over at Mina and Bunny who were waving so much Rini just knew their hands were going to fly off.
"Wow they're pretty—uh not that you're not though I mean um you're not ugly or anything uh—" Kyusuke said turning just as red as Rini.
Luckily Mina and Bunny saw their predicament and ran over. "Rini who is your friend?" Mina asked
"Uh this is Kyusuke he's in my class." Rini said gratefully.
"Hi, I'm Bunny, this is Mina." Bunny said to Kyusuke.
"Hi nice to meet you, well uh I gotta go now great seein ya Rini." He said walking out the door, "See you in school."
"Yea ok bye." Rini said.
"OO Rini he's cute!" Mina said giggling.
"Hey girls your burgers are done." Andy yelled from the counter.
"So that's who you were mooning over this morning huh Rini?" Bunny asked with an evil grin.
Rini answered by stuffing her mouth full of fries. Bunny and Mina burst into giggles again.
On the way home their arms full of bags they fell silent reminding Rini of the mornings occurrences.
"Hey um Bunny can we stop by and give Darien something I got him?" Rini asked hopefully as they got closer to his house.
"You can Rini here I'll take your stuff home for you." Bunny said trying to act casual.
"Oh okay" Rini said handing her stuff over "Just put them on my bed and don't go rooting better yet—here Mina could you put it up for me." She said handing Mina the stuff instead.
"Why you want me to do it Rini?" Mina asked.
"Maybe there is something I don't want Bunny to see that's all." Rini said slyly.
"Aw how sweet. Sure I'll put it up for you. I promise she won't see a thing." Mina said confidently.
"Thanks Mina!" Rini said running up the steps and flinging open the front door to Darien's house.
"Darieeeeeeeenn…" Rini called, "Where are you?"
"In the kitchen." Came the sullen reply.
"Oh great, thought Rini, Not him too."
Rini walked into the kitchen and was shocked by what she saw. Darien sat at the kitchen table drinking what looked to be his twentieth cup of coffee. A pile of dishes was in the sink and he was still in his pj's. His house was never dirty and neither was he.
"Uh Darien?" Rini was starting to get really upset.
"Hey Rini what are you up to?" He asked without looking up.
"Are you ok you look—rough."
"I'm fine, so what's in the bag?" He said looking up at Rini.
"Um we—uh I was shopping and I got you this," handing him the bag, "I noticed you didn't have a shirt this color to match those new pants you got the other day so I got one for you."
"Thanks Rini that was nice of you." He said still looking way to gloomy.
"Okay what the heck's going on here?" Rini demanded, "First Bunny now you. Now spill!"
Darien looked at her in surprise. "What are you talking about nothing's wrong I'm fine!"
Rini rolled her eyes. "Yea yea yea Bunny said the same thing. Now you'd better tell me while I wash these dishes. Are you hungry? Here I'll make you a sandwich." Rini said daring him to protest.
"Okay fine." He said realizing he was defeated.
"Ham or turkey?"
"Huh? Oh right um—ham thanks."
"Ok tell the story." Rini said sitting the sandwich in front of him.
"Well you know that I was going to take Bunny for a pick nick today you even helped me set it up. But I had to cancel I needed to study. No I chose to study instead of going. So I was about to call Bunny when she showed up. I should have just went anyway but I didn't I told her we had to cancel today.
She got really mad and told me that if I didn't want to be with her just to tell her. I didn't know what to say so I just stood there like an idiot and let her go." Darien ended he sounded just as sad as Bunny had looked.
By this time Rini had completely cleaned the kitchen and started supper for Darien. She looked up from a pot she was boiling water in as he finished. "Oh" was all she said.
Then after a moment of thought said "Well it seems to me you both are to blame for this fiasco. You for canceling for something stupid and Bunny for not trying to understand."
Rini walked to the phone and dialed a number. "Hey Mina can you tell Bunny I'm going to stay over here tonight? No I have some stuff over here thanks bye."
To Darien she said, "We need to figure out how to fix this. I have a plan."
Darien looked doubtful, "I don't know Rini—"
"The papa I know wouldn't give up he still brings mama her favorite flowers for no reason at all." Rini cut him off.
"Rini I'm not your papa—"
"Yet" she said cutting him off again.
Darien smiled. "Alright what's this plan of yours?"
"Now that's the papa I know!" Rini said as she began to tell him her brilliant plan.
Well what do you think? Getting good? Please review!
HOSHI!
