Chapter 8: Timeless: Meiou Setsuna
Several weeks pasted as school picked up speed, into its normal whirlwind of colors, page after page of notes, day after day of waiting for lunch and impatiently waiting for the end of the day. It was Saturday, and for that, Usagi was extremely excited and happy that she could kick back and relax.
She leaned back into her bed, her face glazed with a hundred-watt smile and sapphire-silver eyes twinkling in merriment. Her tresses were fanned around her head creating a halo appearance while covering her pillows, sheets and comforter in liquid gold and silver. She was staring at her cream colored ceiling with the posters and photographs she had posted on the ceiling. When the doorbell rang, she sat up straight and instantly began rummaging around for her clothes.
"SHOOT! I FORGOT! I'M GOING SHOPPING WITH TÉ A AND MAI! IIE!" 1 came her shrill cry as she ran around at lighting speed.
Outside
Tea and Mai had pressed their ears against Usagi's apartment door, waiting to hear her reaction; and sure enough, they got one.
"SHOOT! I FORGOT! I'M GOING SHOPPING WITH TÉ A AND MAI! IIE!"
Both girls dissolved into giggles and sunk to the floor silently laughing and clutching their sides at Usagi's high-pitched wail.
Inside
Usagi pulled on a pair of faded blue flare low-rise jeans while hopping around to find a shirt. She slipped on a pair of black all-star converse shoes. She pulled on a white fishnet jacket with hoodie and a black t-shirt on top with 'STAR' printed in silver glitter on it on top. She threw her hair into twin pigtails instead of her regular round buns and dabbed her eyes in silver eye-shadow and lashes in black mascara. As she opened the door, closed her eyes, plugged her ears, she sputtered out without breathing for several seconds, 2
"HoldonasecI'mlookingformypurse,I'llbejustasec,couldyouguysholdon?I'mreallysorry!IgotuplateandCOMPLETELYforgotweweregoingshopping!Pleaseexcusethemess,Ihaveyettocleanup,m'kay?Ah!Foundit!Ready?C'mon,let'sgo!"
She slowly opened her eyes and let go of her fingers in ears and blinked several times as she saw her two only female friends rolling on the hallway in laughter. She bit her lip as a giggle escaped her lips. She nudged both of the them in the side and received two shrieks in response.
"I didn't know we weren't going shopping and instead having a laughing-on-the-floor party!"
Mai faked a glare at Usagi as she stood up, attempting in controlling her laughter, and helping Té a up as well. Usagi studied the two. Mai was the tallest at five foot five and was wearing a lavender strapless corset and violet mid-thigh skirt. She had on her knee-high violet boots and had her blonde hair flipped over her shoulder. Té a was actually five foot three without her blue platform sandals, but she liked the boost in height, so she constantly wore them. She had on a yellow spaghetti strap dress with blue jean capris underneath the dress; the dress ended at mid-thigh. Her brown hair was tied back in a yellow barrette, slightly reminding Usagi of a Naru-Minako look. She grinned even though it hurt that she hadn't seen her friends in awhile, "Let's go!"
Mai drove the three of them, while blasting music as loud as possible as they rode with the top of Mai's lavender car down. When the three girls got to the mall, they caught several whistles and a couple of "Hey babe!" from random guys, but promptly ignored them.
"Where to first?" Mai asked.
Usagi was admiring the newest shop, Timeless, through a window. Mai smirked at Usagi's choice of a first shop, while Té a was admiring the girly shop next door to Timeless, Forever 21.
"Let's go into Timeless 3, even though they're really expensive, ok?"
Two mindless nods were received.
Mai dragged both of the girls into Timeless. Usagi's sapphire-silver eyes widened and she immediately began looking for a new dress. Té a was about to complain until Usagi chucked a silver halter at her.
"TRY IT ON!" was the only thing they got from Usagi as she practically tore through the entire department.
When Usagi had enough clothes to try on, she began ringing the bell hastily. A laugh resounded and Usagi blinked once. Twice. Wasn't that Setsuna's voice? What was she doing in this dimension? Wasn't she unallowed to leave the Times Gates, let alone leave the Sailor Moon dimension?
When Setsuna walked out of the back room, she hollered back at her cousin, Ishizu, "Hold on a minute, I have a couple customers!"
She turned to Usagi with her garnet eyes closed while standing behind the cash register and a smile on her face, "Hello there! How can I help you today?"
Usagi's jaw dropped and hung there for several seconds.
"Puu?"
Setsuna's garnet eyes snapped opened as her smile fell and stared unblinkingly into Usagi's sapphire-silver orbs. The smile crept into her face again when she recognized the petite teenager as her hime.
Usagi dropped all of her clothes into a heap and lunged herself at the Time Guardian with a bear hug, instantly drilling her fifth guardian at such a rapid speed Setsuna could possibly hope to understand her,
"PUU!ITISYOU!IMISSYOUGUYS!HOWLONGHAVEYOUHADTHISSHOPOPEN?WHYDIDN'TYOUTELLEMEYOUWERECOMING?ICOULD'VECLEANEDMYAPARTMENT!EKK!ISTILLNEEDTODOTHAT!WHENDIDYOUGETHERE?HOWLONGAREYOUSTAYING?WHO'SINTHEBACK?CANIGETAKEYTOTHEDRESSINGROOM?IREALLYLOVEYOURCLOTHING!IKNEWYOU'DBEAGREATFASHIONDESIGNER!"
"USAGI!" Té a and Mai cried, "Why did you just DROP of all of the clothes you were going to try on, on the floor? I'm sure the owner won't be to pleased with you!"
Setsuna laughed at the two other teenagers and hugged her hime back.
"It's okay, really. Usagi-hime is probably one of my best customers!" Setsuna told the two girls, dismissing the issue with a wave of her hand, as if the clothes on the floor were not a problem.
"Usagi-hime?" Té a asked the owner of Timeless, completely clueless about Usagi's other life.
Usagi mindlessly nodded completely forgetting that Setsuna always called her that, but instantly began brewing a plan in her head.
"Suna-mama raised me while my daddy was working with everybody after my mom died. My mom and her were almost-sisters, that's why Suna raised me! She called me 'Usagi-hime' because she and my mom used to joke that we lived in a castle and I was the princess and mommy was the queen and daddy was the king and Suna-mama was my aunt, who was queen of her own castle!" 4
Usagi had a big smile gracing her face as she grinned up at her fifth guardian, "Right Suna-mama?"
Setsuna smiled and placed a butterfly kiss on her hime's forehead, "Of course Usagi-hime. Now, you said you would like a key to try on clothes, right?"
Usagi immediately nodded in response, her eyes closed with the big smile still on her face. Setsuna walked back to the back room to get the keys for the 'fitting rooms'.
"Wow Usagi-chan," Mai whispered, "I didn't know you knew the fashion designer of these clothes! She designs amazing clothes! I'm buying from here from now on!"
Té a nodded, "How long have you have you know her?"
Usagi grinned, "Since I was six… that's when dad hired her to take care of me. She was only ten years older than I was, so she was more like a sister to me than a nanny."
"Okay," Setsuna said as she walked out of the back room, "who wants to try on clothes first?"
Usagi immediately had her hand in the air, "I DO!"
Setsuna laughed lightly, "I should've known that, eh, Usa-chan?"
Usagi happily nodded as she bounced up and down and quickly picked up her clothes off of the floor.
"Did you design it like a runway, Suna-mama?"
Setsuna nodded and gently placed a finger on Usagi forehead, "Just for you, hime."
"By the way," she said, turning to all three of the girls, "would you girls like to model my new line in my cousin's magazine, 'Forever Fashion' ?" 5
All three female teenagers enthusiastically nodded with gold stars in their eyes.
"Alright, it's settled. A week from tomorrow is the shoot, so I'll pull you guys out of school around 11 o'clock sharp. Be ready!" Setsuna said in a sing-song voice as she opened three fitting rooms for the girls with walk ways on the other side.
"Alright, go try on those clothes!"
Ishizu had snuck in to watch the girls reaction to modeling.
"And did you tell them they'll be modeling on the other side?"
Setsuna shook her head, "That's the beauty of it. Usagi will probably suspect it will be coming, but the other two won't and thus, the photographers get a first look at three random models without knowing they're actually modeling."
Setsuna and Ishizu made their way to the other side of the fitting rooms and Setsuna called over the doors, "Alright, who's coming out first!"
"ME!" cried Usagi with a burst of enthusiasm and energy. She came out in a strapless crimson bodice with off-the-shoulder crimson lace sleeves that ended in a flutter around her fingers and a black satin piece of material attached underneath and hanging loosely in pools of material to the floor. She sauntered her way down the walk way, gave her best smile with a pose and turned and walked back.
Mai followed Usagi in a violet halter dress that clung to her like a second skin with a daring plunge that ended at her belly-button and connected the sections of material together by gold circular chains placed methodically on the dress. She gave her sexist smile and tossed her hair over her shoulders before returning to her dressing room.
Té a came out more shyly in a dark blue satin dress with off-the-shoulder straps. It brought the cerulean color out in her eyes and made her look more like an ice fairy, if nothing else. The dress ended around mid-thigh; however it had a silver-ice-blue see-through materials attached underneath with a bell-shape to it. All she needed was a silver tiara and blue wings and she could a fairy queen. 6
