AN: I'd thought I'd post this chapter so no one would get confused :
Chapter 5
"Where is that Meatball head!" snapped Rei as she was tapping her foot with her arms crossed leaning against her chest. She was becoming very impatient.
"She probably had a hard time getting up again" sighed Makoto as she sat next to Ami on a bench part of Rei's temple.
"That's Usagi for you" agreed Ami as she closed one of her books.
Rei noticed the blonde hair and meatball hair style running up the stairs of her temple along with Luna. They both were running out of breath, "We found one!" shouted Usagi as she reached to the top and almost passed out with no air.
"Found what?" asked Ami
"A…Rainbow…Crystal…Carrier" panted Usagi as she took breaths in between. She bent down to her knees to take a break.
"So that's what took you so long?" asked Rei, but in a cocky tone.
"Rei, this is serious" said Makoto as she walked over to Usagi, "So where is the carrier now?"
"He said he was going to show his friends around town, so they can't be that far" answered Usagi.
"Well what are we waiting for! Let's go find him!" said Makoto as she already took off running down the stairs. The other girls nodded and followed Makoto.
"This is a very nice town" commented Quatre as he was looking around.
"Yeah, the people here seem to be decent" added Trowa
Duo smiled, "One thing I like about Earth"
The trio walked past what seemed to be a CD shop filled with different CD's of various types of music. They were selling a lot of CD's outside, which caught Duo's attention, "Hey, mind if I check this place out?" he asked as he turned around to hear the answer from his friends.
"Sure" said Quatre as he went to go have a look as well.
As the three boys were looking through the CD's, Usagi and he friends saw them from a far away distance. "That's him" whispered Usagi as she had her eyes on Duo.
"Which one?" asked Rei
"The one with the braid" replied Usagi as she tried not to point.
Makoto blushed, "He's sure a hunk"
For some reason, Usagi got annoyed when Makoto said that. Sure her friend did relate every guy she met to her ex boyfriends, but it never bothered her, until now. A wave of jealously went through Usagi's body. Usagi ignored it and just gave a little grunt after Makoto's sentence.
"We better follow them, but not make it obvious" whispered Ami as she got a good look at the boys.
The girls slowly started to pretend that they were looking at the collection of CD's but not trying to make any eye contact with the boys. But, that didn't work out as they planned. Quatre took a glance as Ami walked by him, and Ami being really shy, glanced back and the two of them made eye contact, but Ami quickly turned around and blushed. "I need to be serious about my mission." she thought to herself as she pretended to be interested in one CD.
Usagi was looking through a stack of CD's. She didn't find anything interesting in that pile, so as she moved back, she bumped into Duo by accident. Duo turned around to see who it was and was surprised to see it was Usagi.
"Usagi!" he said with a smile.
"Hey Duo" sweat dropped Usagi.
Near by, Makoto and Rei both sighed as Usagi started to talk to Duo, "She blew it" sighed Rei. "And she knows him" finished Makoto.
"What are you doing here? I thought you had to go to your friends house" said Duo.
Rei gulped when she over heard Duo say that, "Don't tell me Usagi squealed about our mission" she thought.
"Oh I did, and we decided to do some shopping around town and they're with me right now" said Usagi as she felt more comfortable opening up to Duo.
Makoto, Rei, and Ami moved closer to Usagi for the three boys to notice them. Usagi could tell they wanted to be introduced. She introduced her friends to Duo's friends. The one with the blonde hair seemed to be nice, but the other guy that was by him seemed quiet and shy. While Usagi's friends were busy getting hearts in their eyes, Usagi was focusing on Duo. Looking at him deeply into his cobalt eyes, Usagi was day dreaming one again of Duo as Tuxedo Mask and her dressed in a beautiful pink ball gown with everyone watching them dance.
"Usagi?" hollered Duo for the fourth time.
Usagi shook her head and got embarrassed that she zoned out in front of the good looking braided boy. "Yeah?"
"We were just about to go for a walk in the park and we wanted to know if you would like to come" repeated Duo.
Usagi's eyes beamed, "Yeah!", but Luna scratched Usagi's leg, which made Usagi look down at her cat quickly and pulled her up by the fur.
"Did you forget the mission! You don't have time to go to the park with those strangers, we need that rainbow crystal before the negaverse gets it!" hissed Luna as she whispered into Usagi's ear.
"Excuse me one moment, my cat here is getting out of control" blushed Usagi as she weakly smiled. She sprung around and whispered in Luna's ear, "I know! Now will you please just let us have some fun? We never get breaks!"
Luna rolled her eyes and ignored Usagi and she already started to take off with the Sailor Scouts and the three boys. They got to know each other pretty well as they made there way to the park. They laughed and got along just fine. Once they entered the park, something caught Rei's eye, a tall dark haired man and blue eyes was talking to someone that he knew in the far off distance by the lake. Rei's heart began to pound.
"Oh my God! There's Mamoru!" squealed Rei as she got excited.
Usagi made a disgusting sound, "Rei I can't believe you waste your time with a creep like that!"
"You're just jealous" hissed Rei as she kept looking at Mamoru with starry eyes.
"Who's Mamoru?" asked Duo.
"That guy over there, he's such a jerk and I don't know why Rei wastes her time with him" answered Usagi as she gave Mamoru a dirty look.
"Please, you only think that way of him because he always calls you 'Meatball Head'" laughed Rei.
Usagi froze, when Rei said that, the three boys looked at her hair style. Quatre observed Usagi's hair, "You know, it does look like Meatballs".
Usagi began to cry since she was embarrassed. It was a horrible whiney cry that made everyone cover their ears. "Rei, why do you always need to pick on here?" asked Ami.
Rei ignored Ami and noticed Mamoru was walking this why with a grin of his face. Rei began to blush like crazy. Mamoru came up to the group, right up to Usagi while she was crying. "What are you crying over this time 'Meatball Head'?"
Usagi stopped crying and looked right into his eyes, "Stop calling me that!"
"Well how can I when you have such a strange hair style" joked Mamoru.
"At least she stands out" said Duo as he took a stand.
Everyone was surprised that Duo said something. Mamoru just glared at Duo, and Duo returned the glare. "She's not like any other girls our there with the same style, hers is different".
"Who are you? Meatball Head's boyfriend?" laughed Mamoru.
Duo blushed, "No, we just met but I'm just saying, she stands out in a crowd"
Mamoru rolled his eyes, "Whatever, I have things to do, See you around 'Meatball Head'" waved Mamoru was he started to leave the park.
"Wait! Mamoru come back!" shouted Rei as she left the others and went to go follow him where ever he was going. Usagi looked up at Duo with disbelief that he actually said that to Mamoru, the guy who picked on her for years for her hairstyle. She gently blushed while looking at Duo, and admiring his warm hearted personality. She felt like he would always be there through good times and bad. Usagi then heard the beeping in her book bag, she turned around for no one else to see, but the Crescent Moon Wand was reacting again. She then looked at Duo and began to wonder on how she was going to get that crystal from him.
"Hey, Trowa and I are going to check out the gardens" yelled Makoto as she waved to the group and dragged Trowa away from them.
They all nodded and Duo turned towards Usagi, "How about we see what else is around here?"
"Ok" smiled Usagi as she began to walk with Duo. They both left Quatre and Ami alone on one of the park benches.
"Why did they have to leave me alone with a guy?" asked Ami to herself as she glanced at Quatre. Quatre caught her glance which made Ami quickly turn around and turn bright red.
As Duo and Usagi were walking for a while, they decided to have a seat on one of the park benches where you could see the whole lake. It was a very beautiful sight to see. With the sunlight dancing on top of clear blue water, and the flowers that were planted around it showing off their colors.
Duo looked over to Usagi, "So, where do you live?"
"Not far from here, I live with my Mother, Father, and my little brother. How about you, where's your family?" asked Usagi.
Duo quickly turned away, he couldn't answer that question for her. He didn't know anything about his past life. He decided to just tell a little lie to the beautiful girl. "Up in the colonies"
"Really? What location?" asked Usagi again.
"Not sure, it's been a while since I've seen them. I'm out on my own as far as I know" shrugged Duo as she watched some birds fly out of a tree.
Luna sat on Usagi's lap quietly and was waiting for Usagi to get that crystal from him. But nothing was going on. Usagi was too into boys, food, and video games.
Makoto was trying to get Trowa to be more talkative, but he didn't seem interested at all. It was starting to bore Makoto that she lost all hope in trying to impress this guy. He wasn't talking really, he seemed shy, he just seem not interested in her at all.
"Trowa, do you want to head back?" asked Makoto
"Yeah, it's getting late" agreed Trowa as she followed Makoto.
Ami sat next to Quatre on the bench nervously. She would look at him every now and then. They were both shy people so they hardly even said a word to each other. Ami decided to open her mouth. "So, do you read often?"
"Sometimes" answered Quatre "I'm too busy trying to run my families business for now, it's a lot of hard work and I haven't read much lately"
"You're families business?" repeated Ami
Quatre nodded, "The Winner Foundation"
Ami's eyes got big, "You own that! They're really good in business. My gosh you must be a billionaire. I always read articles about it in the newspaper."
Quatre giggled, "I don't like to brag or anything Miss Ami, but yes"
Ami just flashed him a smile. But, their conversation was cut short, because the same women from the restaurant appeared again in front of Ami and Quatre. Cherry blossoms flew around her body and she had one of those evil smiles across her face. "Quatre, you're time is up"
"What?" asked Quatre confused.
"You're on my side, you just don't know it yet" laughed Zoyciete as she threw out a dark crystal causing Quatre to fall to the ground in pain with his body changing rapidly into a monster. Ami watched in horror but she couldn't transform right there in front of him.
"Quatre!" called out Trowa as he saw his friend starting to turn into a monster.
"You too are on my side!" yelled Zoyciete as she sent a force to bring Trowa closed and become part of the transformation.
"Trowa!" yelled Makoto, she then took out her wand, "Jupiter Power!" green electricity went around her naked body and turned her into Sailor Jupiter. Meanwhile, Ami hid behind a tree and watch the two boys turn into monsters.
"The Crescent Moon Wand wasn't reacting for Duo, it was reacting for Trowa and Quatre!" thought Ami as she took a peek behind the tree to see the two new, monsters.
