"But why would three people lie, Usagi? Come on. Mamoru's got an ego problem and we all know it" Usagi looked at Makato, large blue eyes radiating confusion as she buried a hand into her bangs.

"Makato.. I'm confused" She frowned and flopped forwards in the booth, the brunette leant forwards and patted her friends back.

"Usagi, It's up to you who you believe but for the record I believe Mathieu. He's turned over a new leaf and he seems to genuinely mean it. Come on, even he wouldn't joke about something like that" She paused and looked at the blond "To be honest.. You put me up on a pedestal. He can do no wrong by you but then.. you're acting the same way I did when I was with Freddie. Remember how I was? You all told me he was no good but I didn't listen did I? And now look? He's gone from my life and I'm happier". She watched as Usagi inhaled a shaky breath and buried her other hand into her hair before hunching over the table.

"I don't know, Makato.. I just don't know anymore. You're you.. one of my best friends so I should believe you for that and then you believe Mathieu who's been downright cruel in the past but seems to have genuinely changed with two other people to back him up" She sighed deeply "But then.. Mamoru is.. Mamoru and whether I like it or not He's one of my best friends and the guy I " She trailed off again and looked around to make sure no one was listening " I lo... like". Makato sent her a sympathetic smile, wrapping an arm around the blond.

Beep. Beep. Beep

Her watch went off and she jumped with a bolt, sliding out of the booth. "Sorry Usagi, I've gotta go. Bye!" Usagi nodded and with that Makato was gone with a flash leaving the blond to sink further into her seat. "Come sit at the counter" She looked up to see Mathieu smiling down at her. She perked a brow, unsure of whether or not to sit with him. Glancing over, she saw Motoki was there and slowly nodded, pushing herself out of the booth.

"I still stand by my words, Usagi.. whether you want to believe them or believe his" Mathieu smiled gently at her, her brain swirling further into confusion. " You deserve better then him, I've said it before Usagi. He takes you for granted and You need to let him know" He frowned slightly and she let her head drop onto the counter, Motoki eyeing Mathieu cautiously as he stepped over.

"Another Milkshake, Usagi?" It was more of a command then a question as he placed it down.

"Mathieu, I.. I dunno.. I feel obligated to both of you and.. Right now.. I'm sitting in the middle, not taking sides. You can both take it or leave it, but that's all you're getting" She nodded as if to seal it.

Mathieu rose slowly and placed a hand on her shoulder. She turned her head up to look at him and found him smiling down at her, she returned it. "Always remember you can do better then him, Usagi. Mr. Right is waiting out there for you and when you find him.. You'll wonder what you ever saw in Mamoru, or any other guy for that matter" He chuckled and was off, Usagi smiling sadly as she watched him go.

Mamoru came by a short while later taking the seat to Usagi's right as he grinned at her.

"Hiya, Odango"

"Hi, Baka"

"That name really does suck you know" He grinned teasingly

"Only as much as Odango" She grinned back. They sat in silence for a while. Motoki came up with Mamoru's usual, had a short, friendly banter then left leaving the pair back in their fairly uncomfortable silence.

"Mamoru... I don't know who to believe any more" She whimpered slightly, turning to the ebony haired man who looked equally as depressed as she did. His only reply was an arched brow and a nod of the head. "I've spoken to Makato and she said Mathieu only told me that because he was trying to protect me in case we started going out, and I didn't get to see the 'Real' you" He snorted at this but allowed her to carry on.

"I'm not sure who to believe. On one side I have Makato, one of my best friends, who believes Mathieu and says that Marc and Sayoran heard you say it too. But then On the other side I have you. You're one of my best friends two and I feel like I should trust you"

"Usagi.. It's just another one of his tricks. You know what he's like.. He'll do anything to cause some Drama. I understand you have doubts about me and our friendship.. You're only bound to although.. If you stop talking to me.. Then I'll be upset that I've lost a friend. If it's because you listen to Makato then that's ok, I have nothing against Makato, however if you stop talking to me because you've listened to Mathieu then I'll be highly annoyed to say the least, He'll have just succeeded in another plan to ruin someone else's friendship" Usagi turned away, biting down on her lip.

"And quite frankly, I know you're not going to like this so please, just listen to me and don't start picking it apart like Mathieu did what I said before but... I think I could have you, if I wanted to. I mean, you do fancy me so it's only true really" He stopped there, realising she wouldn't and couldn't handle any more. She lifted her head up slowly and looked at him. Searching his features and eyes for any sign of.. She wasn't sure what it was she was looking for.

"Mamoru.. I don't know.. I'm not going to take sides on this. If you two want to fight and ruin your friendship then go ahead but I'm not getting involved anymore" He chuckled wryly at this.

"Well if you're not getting involved then what's the point in us carrying on anymore? We are pretty much fighting over you" She laughed.

"Look, I've gotta go to work now. Might see him. See ya later, Usagi" He winked at her, a hand patted at her golden head as he got up from his seat, drained the last of his coffee and left. She sighed deeply, calling to him as he exited the doors

"Jaa!"

Then he was gone.

Poke

"Ouch!" She glared and rubbed a hand over her arm "What was that for, Motoki?"

"Felt like it" He shrugged with a grin "Anyways, It didn't hurt you" She eyed him warily and turned back to her milkshake

Prod

"Owwie! Motoki!"

"He he" He chuckled with a grin.

Poke

"Ouch! Usagi!"

"See that hurts!" She growled at her blond friend, scooting a few seats down with a glare.

Later that night Usagi glanced at her arm, thankful she was wearing a sleeveless hoodie.

"I'M GONNA KILL MOTOKI!" The blond screamed loudly as she gawped at a large blue bruise on her upper arm, the centre slowly turning purple whilst a small patch of skin nearby was also turning blue.

Author's notes

Ok, I'm really confused on the whole "Ben-Baka said" thing as you can see. I've even gone as far to venting to not only my friends Kimberly, Grace and Leigh.. Kim being played by Makato in this chapter.. But I've also vented to Alicia Blade and Bliberal, A.K.A. Corky!

I came up with the theory that Baka related things suck
