A/n: Okay, I've run into a major plot-hole that I hadn't seen before, but I'll work that out later, for now all you need to know is that if it's in italics, it's not in the original language of the character saying it. IE: If Usagi said "cats" it would be in Japanese. If she said "cats" it'd be in English. Vice-versa is true for Bunny. notice: This note was written many months ago, and is no longer applicable
A/n2: Aaack! This has been sitting around, taking up bandwidth for moths while I waited for a reveiw. Then I decide tocheck back again, and findout someone reveiwed ages ago. So, to make up for it, I dedicate this to Moonjava, my lone reveiwer! Thanks, hun!
A/N3: Also, My computer recentlyhad to undergo some sort of massive break-down and repair cycle. The result of that was the loss of the nextsix chapters. Horrible loos, but now I have to rewrite them, andI have other projects that need to be taken care of first, so it may be even longer before this is updated again. However, I swear to Bob, Set, Isis, and The Innocence of Toast& Jam (please don't ask, it's complicated), that I WILL finish this story if it kills me!
Dark Side of the Moon
Chapter 2
Blondie…?
Usagi got to school just on time. Well, almost, but she got away with being late, mostly because of the slight limp in her step. A sprained ankle makes a wonderful excuse for being late, and after her fight with Rei, Usagi's ankle was definitely the worst sprained anyone in the class had seen recently. Still she was grateful for the new bus stop though. It was half way to her school, and cut her walking time by almost 20 minutes, so she hadn't been late for weeks. It was also a convenient place to meet Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako for school. Of course in such a small space, Rei's fights with her had been much quicker to start, and much more painful. However, that was nothing too absurd, until last week.
When she'd woken up, Usagi had thought of this as just another normal Wednesday. Though she had an odd urge to wear a pair of ripped up jeans she had in the back of her closet, rather than her school uniform. Regardless off that, she pulled on her uniform and ran for the bus stop with a piece of toast. Somehow, even though she'd gotten up early. When she finally got there, she wasn't exactly happy. Though she didn't know why, she had a very strong urge to try and kick Rei's ass. She still didn't know why, even now. However, she did try to fight with Rei. It was pretty violent too, but luckily the bus showed up, just moments to late to keep Usagi's ankle from being twisted, but early enough to stop major physical damage. Of course Rei's black eye didn't look to good, but at least it wasn't too awful.
When everyone had boarded the bus, Minako sat down next to Makoto, and asked her if, since she was late, she could be filled in on what had caused the fight. Makoto shrugged.
"I don't know, hell, I'm don't think Usagi and Rei know. It was totally random. Usagi showed up all huffy, and just started insulting Rei.'
As soon as Makoto finished her sentence, it was like a switch had been flipped, and Usagi and Rei were at it again.
"Shove it Usagi. You're just a stupid little crybaby. Your even easier to scare than the rabbit's you're named after."
"Oh yeah? Well at least I'm not a, not a, ugh, you stupid blondie!"
Here the fight stopped. Instead there was an intense confusion in the air. What on earth was a "Blondie?"
"Usagi? What did you call me?"
That confused Usagi herself, and sent her to join the general masses of anyone who'd been paying attention to the argument. "What do you mean Rei? I called you an idiot, and right now, you're living up to it!"
Ami, having studied English, along with as many other languages as she could, knew that Usagi had called Rei blonde, in an American style of insult, judging by the accent. She just couldn't figure out where Usagi had learnt English, or why she'd called Rei blonde, because she most certainly wasn't.
When Usagi had gotten home from school that day, she still hadn't figured out what everyone was talking about. She'd never said the word Blondie in her life, and didn't know what it was till Ami had explained it. Even then, she couldn't figure it out. This led to loud complaining, and the entire event being told to Luna. Luna was just as confused as everyone else, but had a sinking suspicion that something not quite right was going on, and immediately launched into studying the problem.
It had been a week, and Luna and Artemis had been the feeling that something odd, and not in a good way, was going to be happening soon. Still, a week's worth of hard work and the two cats were no closer to figuring out what was going wrong, just that it was happening, and there was no way that it was going to be good.
A/n: Okay, confused? Me too, but I think it'll work out later. If you'd like to have this story continued, I'm expecting at least one review. And yes I know it's a low goal, but it's reach-able, that's the point. Also, I'm sorry my chapters are so short, but they are, so there.
