"This is the final straw! You have one last chance to defeat the scouts and take the imperial silver crystal, if not then I will destroy you (AN: FYI the crystal appeared on top of Usagi's moon wand when she turned into Princess Serenity, im sorry I failed to mention it -)" The fierce ugly queen hissed
Malachite flinched
"You're dismissed" Beryl spat
He teleported away
Usagi skipped towards the arcade, it felt weird to her since she hadn't been to the arcade for what seemed like months, she remembered the night that Motoki and Reika found out her secret, who she really was. She will never forget their faces. She sighed, feeling slightly down because they no longer remember who she really is.
As she neared the Arcade doors she stopped and stared inside, spotting Motoki at the counter wiping it with an old cloth. She sighed again, putting on a fake smile and skipped inside, Motoki looked up instantly at the hearing of the bells above the door. His face lit up at the sight of the small blonde
"Usagi-Chan!" He almost squealed, he realized he was making a scene and cleared his throat then said quietly "It's been so long since you were last here!! I was starting to get worried"
Usagi smiled genuinely and walked over to him; she wrapped her small arms around his manly frame and hugged him tightly. He hugged her back just as fiercely.
"Im so sorry Motoki for worrying, but I have been so busy lately, I haven't had time…" Usagi sighed as flash backs of Beryl and her dressed in a white gown danced in her mind. Her heart ached to tell him the truth, but she new it would only put him in danger, she hated so much lying to him, he was like her older brother.
"It's ok Usagi-Chan!" Motoki said, noticing her sudden change in mood "Here! You can have a chocolate milkshake on the house" He announced smiling.
Usagi smiled widely in return "Thanks" She said. He nodded and left her to her thoughts.
She sighed deeply looking at her hands.
"Wow, Meatball head deep in thought, that doesn't happen a lot. Quick take a photo!" Usagi looked up and spotted Rei and the rest of the girls standing smiling at her.
"Hi minna" Usagi greeted, everyone frowned with concern when she didn't respond to Rei's insult.
"Usagi-Chan what's the matter?" Minako asked
Just then Motoki came back with a chocolate milkshake in his hand
"Oh hi girls!" He smiled, setting the milkshake infront of Usagi. She thanked him with a weak smile. "Best I get you lot free milkshakes to" He announced walking off again, already knowing there favorites.
Usagi jumped off her stool, crabbing her milkshake "Nothings wrong!" She chirped skipping over to a booth. The girls followed slowly looking at each other with the same amount of worry on their faces. They decided to leave it for now and talk about teenage things.
"So we're going back to school in a few days and there doing a welcome back dance next Friday! We should go! It'll be fun!!" Makoto exclaimed, Usagi's face lit up slightly, as did everyone else's. Then Minako's dropped slightly
"We don't have dates" She whined "Apart from Usa"
"Im sure we can find a date for us each! We're four pretty single girls, and the whole of Japan is in the palm of our hands. We can find a date, im sure" Rei cheered
Ami turned red "I…I think I'll miss this one out…I'll need the time to get ahead with studying"
Everyone turned to Ami
"Oh come on Ami-Chan! It'll be fun!" Usagi squealed, everyone smiled lightly at Usagi's cheery mood.
Ami sighed slightly "Oh alright then, but I don't know if I'll get a date…"
"Trust me girl, your going to have a date" Minako winked
"Of course I'll take you to the dance Usako" Mamoru watched as his angel's face lit up, she started jumping around crying with joy and excitement, Mamoru could help but chuckle.
"Oh this is going to be sooo cool!!" She squealed, she suddenly stopped and looked at her watch "Oh no im late!!! Gotta book it! Bye!!" She gave him a quick peck on the cheek and in a blink she was gone. Mamoru was left alone laughing to himself.
Usagi and Minako ran as fast as they could to school, Luna and Artemis were on their shoulders, holding on tightly as they bounced violently up and down.
"We're…..So…..Late!" Usagi panted
"I…No!!...Haruka-sama….is….going….to….kill…us" Minako gasped
They finally reached the school gates, The cats jumped off their shoulders and the two tardy teenagers ran into the grounds still at full speed.
"Late on the first day back Aino-Sama and Tsukino-Sama!! Detention!!"
Usagi and Minako bowed their heads and trudged to their desks, sitting down with a thud.
"Usagi-Chan, have you got a date for Friday's dance?" A voice whispered to the left of Usagi, she turned to see Naru's sparkling eyes staring at her curiously
"Hai, have you?" Usagi replied
Naru winked and turned to sit straight facing the teacher. Usagi stared at her in wonder and smiled knowingly, she also started to pay attention.
The end of the day bell rang loudly through the school and Usagi breathed a sigh of relief, Minako, Ami and Makoto ran up beside her
"You coming to the crown with us Usagi-Chan?" Makoto asked
"Iie minna…. I have to help mother clean the house, my punishment for getting in late 3 times in a row" Usagi said bowing her head
The Senshi looked at their friend with a sympathetic look
"Never mind Usa, don't forget scout meeting at the temple tonight at 7" Minako smiled
Usagi nodded gently "Ja Ne" She mumbled before turning the corner towards her home
