Setsuna and her friends all belong to Takeuchi Naoko. I just asked them very nicely if they wanted to play. They agreed, and quietly snuck out without Takeuchi-sensei's knowledge.
Setsuna sat quietly in the nurses office. She contemplated opening her bento. Brushing her fingers across the top of it, she wondered if she even still wanted what she had packed. 'I could always brave the cafeteria.' The thought of all the students crushed into one room gave her the power to open her bento. The knock came as she poured her tea. Sighing quietly, she quickly went to open the door. 'I hope no one is really sick. It has already been a busy day of with all the bumps and scraps earlier.'
Looking down automatically as she opened the door, she spotted ChibiUsa waiting patiently. Setsuna ushered her in while looking for any sign of illness. "So, what is the matter, ChibiUsa-chan?" 'I wonder if I'll ever get used to calling her that?'
ChibiUsa set her bento next to Setsuna's, and turned her pleading eyes up to her. "Can I please eat lunch with you? "
As Setsuna looked down into those pink eyes, she remembered the first time they had met. Dropping her hand gently on top of Small Lady's head, Setsuna smiled. Then, in a low whisper, she said. "Of course, Small Lady. But this has to remain our little secret."
Small Lady felt the relief wash through her. She got to see her best friend. Opening her bento, she looked at what was in Setsuna's. "Yum! Your lunch looks good!"
Setsuna looked down into Small Lady's bento. "Ikuko-Mama made a nice looking lunch, too."
She poured another cup of tea, and set it in front if Small Lady's spot. Settling at the little table, they both started to eat.
