"August 10th, Mamoru's Birthday" Hino Rei sighed dreamily for a moment before thrusting her hand in the air with a determined grin. Today, on Mamoru's twentieth birthday she would once and for all get her beloved Mamoru. A cackle escaped the raven haired priestess' lips as she turned from her calendar and pranced to her bathroom to shower and change. If she was going to snag her soul-mate she had to look good, ni?

An hour later four girls entered the temple, three looking rather nervous but somewhat excited and one, Minako, grinning manically. Rei soon let them in and they were seated with a cup of tea each in roughly ten minutes.

"So.." Grinned Minako "I have the outfits"

"Let's see then, girl" Makato smiled whilst Usagi and Ami exchanged scared glances. Minako set down her cup and moved over to the door that currently had five coat hangers over the top. The girls stood up, setting their own cups down and moved to stand besides their blond friend as she peeked into the bags that currently blocked their view of their new costumes. She handed them out, one by one and left each girl to gasp in horror at their new costumes, or lack there of.

Usagi was eventually told about the party and agreed to help the girls and Motoki set up the party despite already being part of the "Main attraction" for the night's party.

Motoki spent the full day trying to keep the arcade clean and inviting people to the party. By five pm they'd closed and Mamoru was commanded to show up at precisely eight pm or he would suffer grave consequences. The girls arrived at five past five and began helping Motoki set up, covering the booth tables with food that had been cooked by Motoki and Makato.

The Arcade was soon turned into a party setting, a variety of music played over the speaker system, a huge mix of party foods cooked by two of Japan's best chef's aswell as a mixture of white and blue banners decorations ranging from a large banner over the counter that read "Happy Birthday, Mamoru" to heart and circular shaped confetti and even party hats.

Mamoru was of course on time and was greeted by claps from the full crowd that had showed up half an hour before hand. There must have been roughly fifty people, not including the usual gang there with a few late comers further on in the night. Mamoru had of course growled at Motoki but grinned to the crowds putting on a friendly face. The girls had also chosen that moment to peer behind the door resulting in Usagi squeaking and Rei grinning flirtatiously

"Now, Ladies and Gentle men.. It's time for our beloved Birthday boy" With this Motoki slung an arm around his friend's shoulders grinning widely.. Some people questioned if he'd had a drink or two but others said no, Motoki was always that way. "It's time, for my buddy here, to blow out his candles.. If you will please Caroline, Meg and Joaquin" At this two teenage girls and a "slightly" older man pushed out four large cakes from behind the counter however non had cakes.

Motoki lead Mamoru over to the first and stood behind it, kicking it lightly. Suddenly the top flipped off and a slim blond with odango's jumped out wearing an orange strapless swimsuit teamed with fluffy rabbit ears and a cotton tail. With a supermodel smile and a Marilyn Monroe tenor, Minako sang "Happy Birthday to you" gaining a swoon from several guys in the audience. Mamoru chuckled, shaking his head as Minako leant forwards and placed a kiss on his cheek holding out a small orange card that read "Odango-A-Like number one"

They moved onto the next cake and Motoki kicked it as he had the other, resulting in the lid flipping open once again. Makato popped wearing an identical outfit to Minako save hers was green, her pigtails only came up to her shoulders . She handed Mamoru a green card that read "Odango-A-Like number two" before singing "Squashed Tomatoes and stew" She leant forwards and kissed Mamoru on the other cheek as he once again laughed.

They moved to the third cake and Mamoru had a bad feeling about it as soon as Motoki's grin widened by a small fraction. It had to be Rei, the flirt Rei.. The one that didn't take no for an answer. Mamoru bit back a groan as the raven haired girl jumped out wearing a once again identical "bunny" suit in red, a large grin plastered on her lips, as well as dark crimson lipstick. Her dark hair was also pulled into Odangos that reached up to her mid back, much to her distaste. She blinked rapidly and he was half tempted to ask if she had something in her eye. "Happy birthday.." With a wriggled of the hips and chest, Rei leant forwards, puckering her lips slightly before adding "Dear, Mamoru". Unexpectedly she jumped up and swung her arms around his neck pressing her lips to his. When the man didn't kiss her back or wrap his arms around her she huffed slightly and plastered on a grin.. She'd have him some day. Motoki coughed and she lazily held forwards a red card reading "Odango-A-Like number three"

They moved on to the final cake and Ami popped out, wearing a blue outfit and her hair in buns. Two horrible fake streamers of blue hair hung from each bun and she blushed deeply giving Mamoru a fourth blue card reading "Odango-A-Like number four". With a shy smile she added "Happy birthday.. To you" She stepped out of the cake and wrapped her hands around Mamoru's waist for a couple of seconds before stepping back and ducking her head gaining a giggle from the other three girls.

"Arig.."

"Hey now!" Motoki cut Mamoru off with a grin as Makato and Minako stepped forwards, placing a hand over each of his eyes "We aren't quite finished yet". The group laughed as Ami and Rei stepped up and turned Mamoru around, Makato being tall could walk around easily with her hand on his face but poor Minako struggled, walking around on tip toes.

The group stepped back and Mamoru blinked as his midnight blue eyes fell on the original odango dressed in a pink outfit and blushing mildly. Around her neck was a collar of feathery fluff, a large, round piece of card hung from said "collar" reading "To Mamoru". Nervously, she stepped forwards and extended a hand to her sworn enemy, a small smile on her lips.

"Motoki said this is the one thing you wanted for your birthday.. Me as you friend so.. Friends?" She raised a brow, large blue eyes staring up at him as he slowly stared back. A cough came from a young man in the group of party goers and several other's cast him a glare or outright slapped him. Hesitantly Mamoru raised his hand to shake hers

"Friends" He smiled and just as he was about to grab her hand she pulled it away and stuck out her tongue.

"But I don't want to be friends" Usagi grinned as Mamoru turned a somewhat disgruntled look to Motoki as if to ask if this was a set up. Motoki shrugged, confused. Mamoru turned back to see Usagi with both arms outstretched looking now more nervous then before.

"I want to be more, if you'll take me" She gulped nervously as she watched his jaw drop and eyes widen. He shut it quickly and threw his arms around the blonde's waist and picked her up gaining a giggle from the girl.

"More then" The crowd cheered and clapped before people started talking, some moving to eat or drink as Mamoru lowered Usagi to the ground placing a chaste kiss on her lips before they turned to the others.

It was the perfect party and it wasn't till later that Mamoru saw what was on the bag of Usagi's tag.

"From Motoki, With Love"
