It was Friday or Thursday -.-;; finally! Usagi couldn't wait. Her entire house was filled with pumpkins and pictures of turkeys and pilgrims with Indians. There was orange and brown everywhere. Glancing at the clock, the blonde noticed it was 5:58pm. 'I wonder if they're planning on being fashionably late..' she pondered, then the doorbell rang.
It was Ami and Makoto… holding hands? Usagi looked from their faces, to their hands, and back again. Ami was blushing "Uhm…" she started, but was at a loss of words. "Usa, what my lovely Ami is trying to say, is that we're more than roommates." The brunette held her breath in anticipation.
"Really?" the moon princess actually sounded surprised, and at that, Ami had to giggle nervously. There was a long pause. "Awww!" the blonde blubbered. Makoto fell over. After the initial shock subsided, Usagi ushered the couple into her house. Ami and Makoto's jaws dropped wide with shock.
"Amazing." The brunette breathed. "Outstanding…" Ami added. "And… something actually smells… good?" Makoto finished, eyes widening in shock. Usagi chuckled. "Sit! Make yourselves at home!"
So they did, and at 6:04, the bell rang again. It was Haruka and her gang. Setsuna was carrying two plates of cookies and brownies. "We brought desserts." She announced. Usagi's face lit up with glee and she tried to refrain from pouncing on the time guardian. Laughing, Setsuna handed the blonde a cookie.
"Yay!" squealed the princess as she shoved the baked good into her mouth. "Ah! The turkeys done be right back." she shouted as a buzzer went off from the kitchen. After the hostess of the party left, the six senshi dove at her shelves. Ami and Mako looked at the pictures on the walls, while the others observed the photos and porcelain bunnies.
In the small cooking area, Usagi had just finished taking the tofu turkey out of the oven and had put it on top of the stove. She walked back into the living room to see all of her friends looking at her pictures. All of which, were missing Mamoru.
Usagi nodded and her doorbell rang again. It was 6:17. Opening the door, the blonde was greeted by the sight of a ruffled up miko and a flushed goddess of love. "Sorry we're late; I had to finish cleaning the shrine…" Rei explained. The moon princess looked at the pair and gasped. Minako's arm was lightly wrapped around Rei's waist. The raven haired priestess's eyes widened and Minako bit her lip, slowly removing her arm.
"You guys too!" she squeaked. Rei nodded and Usagi fell over. After having to recover a second time Usagi looked at her friends who stood in pairs. Ami with Makoto, Rei with Minako, and Haruka with Michiru. Hotaru was looking around… 'Probably wondering where Chibiusa is… Too bad she's off on another trip to Crystal Tokyo…' But… Setsuna stood alone.
Usagi smiled softly at Setsuna, who nodded lightly in return with knowing eyes. "We … should get eating. Come on!" the moon princess declared. 6:45 and all the senshi sat at a large table. Having filled all their plates, Usagi smiled gracefully, almost like Queen Serenity. It soothed the group and she raised a glass.
"To life, love, and friendship." She spoke clearly, the senshi nodded and toasted. The meal was going good for ten minutes until Michiru started to choke. "Michi! No! Don't die again, I have to die with you!" shouted Haruka who took a bite of stuffing as well and gagged. "SALT! So much salt! Who made this!" the violinist managed to rasp out.
The table turned to Minako who was trying to slip under the table, but to no avail. "Sorry." She mumbled. "S'ok, just… remember this next time you try to cook." Michiru replied. Rei on the other hand, whacked the blonde on the head, and in return, got a pea flicked at her. There was an audible gasp from the whole group as a tense silence filled the air. Setsuna quietly got up and went to the bathroom.
Two minutes later there were peas, corn, and stuffing being thrown every where. Ami had hid under the table with Hotaru and war cries could be heard from above. Half of the food had been wasted, but Usagi didn't care. However, when Rei grabbed a cookie, she screamed. "Stop! Not the cookies!" The whole scene froze and everyone looked around.
Most of them were covered with Thanksgiving goodness. Setsuna quietly returned to the scene and smirked, while Ami reappeared with Hotaru. The group managed to clean up and by 8:00 it was time for dessert. Usagi chopped away at the cookies, while the rest got brownies. By 8:30, everyone was full and tired from the earlier food fight.
"Feel free to stay the night guys." The blonde offered and the senshi were happy to oblige. Usagi popped in a movie and within the first fifteen minutes, all were asleep.
Elsewhere in America, out not so favorite Tuxedo Kamen had just arrived back at his apartment. In his arms were two buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken. He sighed and sat down. "Happy thanksgiving…" the man grumbled to himself before he grabbed a chicken tender and chomped down.

FINIS! Liked it? Hated it? Review please? Happy thanksgiving everybody!
Albuquerque is a turkey
And he's feathered and he's fine
And he wobbles and he gobbles
And he's absolutely mine!
He's the best pet you can get yet
Better than a dog or cat
He's my Albuquerque turkey
And I'm awfully proud of that!
And my Albuquerque turkey
Is so happy in his bed
'Cause for our Thanksgiving Dinner
We have some TOFU instead!
