Here am I again. Thank you for your reviews and favs! Here is the second story, and here's Minako. as the third party, interacting with Usagi.
This is lighter, they are younger, and it may be or may not be connected to the first. That's the matter of your choice.
Story 2. The M Test
- So? - Minako took a bite of her salt-and-sweet macaron and looked at Usagi - how's you latest date? That gorgeous Heero guy?
Usagi waved her hand dismissively.
- Not my story - she was looking into her cocktail and stabbing the cream with a straw - won't be seeing him anymore.
- And why is that? - Minako narrowed her eyes suspiciously - what ridiculous reason is it now?
Usagi mumbled something indecipherable.
- What? - Minako shook her lightly - I'm anxious to add to my collection of ridiculous guy faults, you know.
Usagi rolled her eyes.
- Goat beard - she said defeatedly.
Minako humphed.
- But that's old one! I've heard it before.
- Yeah - Usagi made quotes in the air with her fingers - he's "Goat beard number Three"
Minako's eyes took a reproachful glint.
- So you still are too stubborn to either move on or finally admit you are in love with Chiba? Can't stop parading all you new boyfriends in front of him for..what? We've already discussed that the whole concept of your stupid "M Test" is outright ridiculous! - it was her turn to make quotes in the air - are you trying to find someone perfect for Mamoru?
- But it works - Usagi said flatly - he points out something and I start finding it disgusting. Or disturbing. I guess the person who passes is that one whom I will like despite his comments.
As for this Heero and all them who didn't...I guess it for the best. Imagine I started hating that horrible goat beard of his when we are, say, married with kids?
- Too much of ""I guess" - argued Minako - and you know what I guess? That the only person who could only pass this stupid Mamoru test of yours is Mamoru himself!
- Mina, please don't yell - Usagi sounded tired - his faults I do see by myself, thank you very 's just drop it. I'll be right back.
Standing from the stool. she headed for the ladies' room, and Minako stared after her.
- Did you hear that? - she said not turning around to the ever-hearing-everything Motoki -
how far she is in denial? She even invented a CONCEPT for that. The "M test"! Isn't that just crazy?
Motoki laughed out loud, and Minako whirled on the stool.
- Don't tell me you didn't know about that game of theirs.
Motoki chuckled.
- I do. But I just wonder what would you say if you knew... - his eyes twinkled mischievously
- Knew about what? That he's all about her too? Oh, seriously, do you think I am blind? That's precisely what makes me furious.
- I think you would be even more furious if you knew about the "U-test" - said Motoki very calmly, though his eyes betrayed his very-amused mood - which not only is a concept, but is rather systematic and has a whole sheet of THEORY behind it.
Minako groaned, and they laughed.
