Usagi wanted to die.

She wanted to curl up under a large rock and die. Ok so maybe not die exactly but she wanted to cause Minako and Rei some serious pain before she curled up under her rock and hid for a few years. They were evil, she was sure all her friends were evil.

"We'll kiss if you do" Rei had slung an arm around Minako's shoulder and leant over, half perched on her own stool. Usagi had choked at that, blinking at the raven haired girl as she tried to swallow her drink down. She could just see Mamoru leaning slightly towards them out of the corner of her eye.

"Excuse me?" Rei laughed slightly at that.

"Aww come on, Usagi! It'll be fun. I'll snog Minako, tongues and all, if you and Mamoru kiss for hmm.. how long Minako?" Rei turned to the blonde who pressed a finger to her lips in a thoughtful expression before sticking her finger in the air with a grin.

"Ten seconds!"

"There. We'll snog, tongues and all, if you two kiss for ten seconds" Usagi felt herself blushing. She didn't want to kiss him like this. Didn't want her first proper kiss to be like this. Wanted it to be special not a " I will if you will" type dare.

"Sure! Why not" She blinked slightly at Mamoru as he put an arm over her shoulder, propping himself up. Motoki was off at the other end of the counter, taking in an order but she could tell he was watching them.

"How about it Usagi?" Minako grinned at the blonde again, gaining a blush from the younger girl.

" Ok" Rei and Minako high-fived at that before Minako began clapping happily.

'Kami' Usagi mentally frowned.

Mamoru stood up and moved around to stand besides Usagi, twirling her stool slight so she faced him. He smiled slightly, hands either side of her on the stool cushion as he leant forwards. She mimicked the move, eyes falling closed and...

He missed. His lips brushed her cheek and she had to tilt her head to catch a brief feel of lips before he pulled away with a grunting sound. Minako giggled and Rei did her best to not let it show as she sighed in mock disappointment and sat down. "Well.. we certainly won't be kissing if that was all you two had"

Mamoru opened his mouth to speak but Motoki was quick enough to call over from the counter "Oi, Usagi!". Said girl jumped up as the man waved for her to come over.

"You alright?" Motoki quirked a brow and Usagi nodded, eyes moving to watch the others from the corner of her eye for a few moments.

"Yeah.. I just.."

" I know Usagi" Motoki smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder before bending to pull something from under the counter. "Can you do me a favour? We're running out of um... um..."

"Ice cream?" Usagi cocked her head to a side and Motoki straightened up quickly with a nod.

"Yeah.. Ice-cream. Can you do me a favour and run to the store to get some more vanilla ice cream?" Usagi looked at him for a moment, noticing the slight amusement in his eyes. She gave a nod and held out her hand, not saying anything about the vast amounts of Ice cream she'd seen in the freezer only earlier that morning. Motoki handed her some money and she went to retrieve her coat, telling the others she was running an errand for Motoki before bouncing out of the arcade.

"Hey, Usagi!" A few steps down from the arcade she bumped into Sapphire, a tired smile on his face and limp in his gait. She darted over to him, frowning.

"Aww! What's wrong? Are you hurt?" She knew the last question was stupid but asked it anyways.

"I'm fine.. just a soccer injury"

"What did you do?"

"Chipped a toe.. or three" She winced at that and leant up to throw her arms around the man's neck to hug him.

"Thanks, Usa bunny" She laughed at the nickname and helped him towards the arcade, forgetting about the errand.
