Usagi's big idea
Chapter 5
Thank you
yeah that's it for the authors note
A few weeks later...
(lets say a month)
Mamoru sits in the diner, stirring his white coffee and looking vacantly at the busy street outside.
"Mamo?" Motoki knocks his friend on the shoulder.
Chiba averts his eyes.
"Oh hey Moto"
Motoki takes a seat beside his college buddy.
"So what's the latest with Usa?" the blonde asks.
Mamoru lets out a large sigh. He slumps into his chair.
"Well with her friends on my back every time I touch her and Usako pestering me about pregnancy tests…."
he continues with more sighing.
Moto laughs.
"Uh so she hasn't taken a test yet?"
Mamoru gulps and grows a lighter shade of pale.
"It's coming believe me" he replies, sipping on his coffee.
"I told her the earliest time a female can find out she's pregnant is about a month"
Motoki widens his green eyes.
"Really?"
Chiba nods.
"Well technically, it can be earlier but you know…I was kind of avoiding it"
"Ah I see" Motoki nods.
"I told her to wait before she gets a test" Mamoru says with a worried look on his face.
He leans in and lowers his voice so only Motoki can hear.
"Just between us guys" "we ...you know...have been ...since that time"
He makes hand gestures as he whispers.
Motoki grins. "Ah"
"You dirty dog" He loudly jeers.
Mamoru's face turns bright red.
"Shh" he orders.
"Well you've been using stuff right?" The blonde questions.
Chiba rolls his eyes.
"Obviously Motoki" "Do you think I would be sleeping with her if I wasn't?"
Moto winks.
"Well she would"
Mamoru is about to throw the rest of his Luke warm coffee at his friend but Makoto and Rei san interrupt them.
"Hey" The tall brunette jumps in beside her boy friend.
"Uh hey" Motoki replies. He kisses Mako on the forehead.
Rei is looking at him suspiciously. Her violet eyes are glaring.
Motoki raises an eye brow at the dark haired girl.
Rei presses neatly on her gray skirt and takes a seat beside Mamoru san.
"I take it you and Usagi have been keeping out of trouble?" she politely questions.
Chiba sighs and nods his head. He points to the girl sitting beside him in her neat school uniform.
"See what I have to put up with?" he groans.
Makoto laughs loudly.
"We don't want her getting pregnant anymore than you do Chiba"
Motoki looks at the ceiling then at Rei who has turned her attention from him for a second.
"Usagi and I hardly ever hang out anymore" "Come to think of it, none of us really do"
she frowns and takes Mamoru's cup of coffee.
Chiba goes to take it back but realises it's not worth it.
"What about Minako?" Makoto asks.
Her emerald eyes sparkle so innocently.
Rei changes the look in her eyes to a proud sarcastic one. She then looks at Motoki and replies.
"Yes what about Minako?"
Chiba shrugs.
Motoki gulps.
"Perhaps she has a boyfriend we don't know about?" Makoto says.
Rei narrows her eyes at Motoki; he looks back at her with confusion.
Chiba picks up on this and stands up.
"Uh Motoki we are gonna be late for class aren't we?" "Our lecture starts in less than 20 minutes right?"
"Right," Motoki replies, jumping up to leave.
"Mamoru can I catch a ride with you guys?" Makoto asks.
"Sure why not" Chiba replies.
He runs his hand through his dark hair and worriedly exits the café. He had a lot on his mind.
Rei remains in the diner alone.
"Oh don't worry about me guys" She says aloud.
"I'll be fine"
Just then Ami and Minako come in.
Minako has a concerned look on her face. Ami takes a seat beside the blonde and looks at Rei.
"I know about Minako" She says in a low voice.
Rei gasps and covers her mouth.
"Mina-Chan" She yells. "Don't tell me you plan on staying in this affair with him?"
Minako starts to panic.
"I...uh I don't know what I want" she cries.
People start to look from around the café at the teenage girls.
Ami's cheeks glow red.
"Can we keep it down?" "You two are sort of making a scene"
Rei presses her hands against her face and runs them over her head.
"Uh" She groans. "Between Minako and Usagi chan I don't know whose worse"
"Yes this is true but we need to support them Rei-san, not drive them away" Ami says.
Minako nods in agreement.
"Thank you Ami-Chan"
Rei rolls her eyes.
"You would so not be saying that if the shoe was on the other foot"
Minako narrows her blue eyes.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Ami tries to hush the two arguing.
"Come on we are not getting anywhere by flaming each other"
Minako scoffs. "Ha she is the one flaming me...and poor Usa-chan"
She wipes her eyes sadly.
"Oh puh-lease, if you weren't screwing around with Motoki you would be downing her idea too you know" Rei spits.
"You're supposed to be my friend Rei chan" Minako wails.
Rei presses her hand on her friends softly.
"I am Mina-chan" "But I am Mako-Chan's too"
Minako buries her head in her hands.
"Oh Rei don't be mad" she pleads.
Rei looks at her pal with suspicion.
"Why would I be any angrier than I am now Mina-chan?" she asks.
Ami gasps. "Oh Minako you didn't?"
The blonde teen bites her bottom lip and nods sheepishly.
Rei suddenly clicks and jumps off her seat. She grabs Minako by the hand and drags her down the street until they reach the nearest pharmacy.
"REEIIII" Minako yelps as they speed through the city.
Ami follows them closely.
"We are going to be so late" She worries.
At home: Usagi is lying in bed with a large smile on her face.
She had been feeling feverish for the past week. She had been very moody and tired as well as nauseas, despite that, she was happy!
"I hope I vomit soon" She smiles.
Even though her temperature was high and all she wanted to do is sleep, she felt excited inside. Occasionally her mother would come in with a fresh cloth and a hot bowl of soup, which was all Usagi could stomach.
"Oh my poor girl" Ikuku sympathised as she closed her daughters bedroom door.
"How will she ever pass this year?" "She'll never make it to her last year in high school"
Usagi can hear her Mothers woes throughout the house. She didn't care though; instead she grinned and shut her eyes.
Meanwhile:
Rei is traipsing Minako up and down the pharmacy aisles, not letting go of her hand for even a split second.
"What's this all about Rei Rei?" Minako asks.
Rei ignores her and keeps searching each section of the pharmacy until she reaches the pregnancy tests.
"Pick one" She orders.
Minako looks at Rei as if she's gone mad.
"You can't be serious" she says.
Ami bashfully looks at the floor as people walk past them.
"It's not what it looks like" She waves her hands embarrassed.
"Rei" Minako rips her hand away from her pals.
"I haven't been sleeping with Motoki long enough to even get pregnant yet"
Rei scratches her head and looks at the floor.
"Well, even so you will need this in the future" she throws the test at her.
Minako catches it and puts it back on the shelf.
"We USE protection Rei" "EVERYTIME" she sternly informs the worried girl.
Ami breaths a sigh of relief. "See Rei?" she folds her arms.
Rei sighs.
"I guess I underestimated you Mina-chan"
The blonde smiles triumphantly.
"However, you are still sleeping with our friend's boy friend"
Minako's face sinks.
"And by all recollection, Mako-chan is sleeping with him too" Ami adds.
Minako scrunches up her nose and storms out of the shop.
Rei and Ami follow her outside.
Minako brushes back tears as the autumn leaves fall onto the street.
"Come on Minako lets go to school" Ami suggests.
"Humph" she grunts.
Rei rolls her eyes and taps her on the back.
"Im only stating a fact" she says.
Minako glares at her.
"So you think I'm a slut is that what you're saying?"
Rei throws her hands in the air.
"Ah what is it with blondes?" She screams.
A few passers by stop and look at the ranting school girl oddly.
Ami blushes.
"Oh boy" she sighs.
"I'm not as bad as Usagi you know"
"I don't wanna ruin my life or anything" Minako protests.
"No, Usagi is stupid" "You should know better Minako" Rei scalds.
Ami san decides to intercept.
"Now Usagi may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but let's not categorize immorality Minako"
The three of them walk down the street to school and listen to her talk (for a change)
"I am sure she would never cheat on anyone" "Not behind Mamoru-Sans back"
Rei nods.
"Yeah you're right"
"I guess" Minako sighs.
"Also, I think we may be being a little unfair on her" "I mean she is our friend and I am sure if any one of us were to get into some sort of situation she would be supportive"
She looks at Minako especially.
The blonde bashfully turns her head away.
"Supportive of whatever we decide"
Rei stops walking and looks at the autumn sky.
"That is true" "I just don't want her to get hurt"
Minako agrees.
"This will affect the rest of her life"
"she is too young to decide whether or not she wants children"
"What if she has twins?" Rei gasps.
"Okay we are getting way ahead of ourselves"
"They only had unprotected sex once, or twice right?"
Rei starts to huff angrily.
"Believe me twice is more than enough"
"I told her to use protection I even...ah"
she yells and heads to school by herself.
Minako and Ami stand there confused.
"Ah perhaps we should visit Usa-chan after school" Minako suggests.
"Yes I hope she is feeling better" Ami adds.
Rei can hear them talking behind her. She stops spins around and yells out to Minako.
"Don't think I have finished with you" "See you at Usagi's after school"
Minako giggles and waves.
Ami looks worriedly at her blonde friend then at Rei.
"Is it me?" "Or are my friends all crazy?"
Later on that afternoon Chiba comes around to visit his girlfriend. Ikuku makes sure he LEAVES the door open while he is in there.
He sits on the edge of her bed and strokes Usagi's forehead.
"Usa-chan you're burning up"
"I know" A she happily replies.
Mamoru raises a brow.
"Usako?"
The blonde sits up and gives her beau a large hug.
"Mamoru this could be it you know" she says, snuggled into his chest.
Chiba feels faint….
"Uh well um" he tries to find the words to say.
He then gulps and reaches into his bag. He pulls out something that makes the blonde girl beam.
"You might wanna take this" he reluctantly hands her the test.
Usagi leaps off her bed; she then feels dizzy and clings on to the door. Mamoru aids her to the bathroom where he waits outside. Ikuku walks past; wandering what the hell is going on.
"Uh she is feeling queasy" He quickly replies.
"Oh" The blue haired woman says.
"My little bunny" "She wont pass anything" "What's a mother to do?" She wails down the hallway.
Chiba gulps and presses his back against the bathroom door.
"What if she is pregnant?"
"What will her parents think?"
"What will they say and do?"
"To me?"
His inner thoughts are interrupted with a saddened Usagi stepping outside the bathroom.
"Usako, where's the test?" He anxiously asks.
She looks up at him with watery eyes.
"Come into my room" "I don't want momma to see" she sobs.
Chiba follows him into the bedroom, expecting bad news since she looks so upset.
He leads her to bed and tucks her in.
"The line is blue" She whimpers into her pillow.
"So Im sick for nothing"
Chiba looks confused. He gently closes the door.
Usagi doesn't move from under the pillow, she throws her test on the floor.
"Put it in the bin, Im not pregnant"
Mamoru picks up the end of the pregnancy test and looks at the color of the line across the middle.
"Uh Usako you said the line was blue?"
"Yeah which means It's a no" She sadly lifts her head off the pillow.
"Uh Mamoru?" "Why are you so quiet?"
"I thought you would be glad" she grumbles.
Mamoru feels his face redden. His vision starts to blur and his head is swimming with one million thoughts of the worst.
"Usa..." "Usako," "Two lines means its negative, one line means..."
Usagi slips off the bed and approaches her boyfriend. She stands behind him and looks at the blue line.
"There's only one Mamo-Chan" She gasps.
"That means that I..." "I am…" She starts smiling.
She grabs hold of Mamoru's arm and squeals.
"I AM I AM I AM"
"Oh uh Wha?" Mamoru rambles incoherently.
Ikuku then bursts open the door.
"Usagi, Mamoru what are you two doing?"
Mamoru's face turns white.
Rei, Minako and Ami are standing beside Mrs Tsukino.
"Usagi you look like death and you're jumping up and down like a jack in the box"
Ikuku yells.
Usagi puts one hand on her forehead.
"Yeah I'm happy Mom" she wearily replies.
Rei and Minako look at each other, then at Chiba.
"We are gonna kill you" They scream.
Ikuku and Ami block the two girls from attacking Mamoru san who looks like he is going to faint.
"Im gonna call Naru" Usagi excitedly says.
"What is going on?" Ikuku questions. "Why is my daughter acting delirious?"
"Is she really ill Mamoru-san, you would know wouldn't you?"
"Training in medicine and all?"she frantically asks.
Mamoru feels to flustered and anxious to respond with anything.
"No Mama, Im Pregnant" Usagi manages to say just before she falls to the ground.
THUDD
"Usa-Chan" The girls scream.
"Ah my little girl" Ikuku yelps.
Minako whispers to Rei:
"We gotta tell Makoto about this"
"Yeah she has a RIGHT to know that at least" Rei hisses back.
Ami hushes the two girls and helps Mamoru lead Usagi onto her bed.
Mamoru is still waiting for Ikuku's reaction to what Usagi said before she fainted.
"Maybe we should call an ambulan…" he is interrupted just in time……
"PREGNANT?" Ikuku Tsukino yells.
