1. e. Lunch
Usagi was having a wonderful morning.
To begin with, she had actually woken up on time for a change, and thus had the pleasure of eating a leisurely breakfast, accompanied by her favorite manga. Secondly, Shingo had caught shingles, which a) made him miserable, b) kept him out of Usagi's hair, and c) made for a rather funny joke, in Usagi's opinion.
And thirdly, with her mother tied up taking care of her youngest child, Ikuko didn't have the time to pack her elder daughter's lunch.
At first, Usagi had responded bitterly to the idea of having to pack her own bento, but once her mother hurried back upstairs with a wet cloth and a glass of water, Usagi's brain finally kicked in and she realized that packing her own lunch could have some positive prospects. Like the fact that it could consist entirely of cookies, donuts, cake, and of course, her personal favorite—odangos.
Usagi's good luck must have run out by the time she left for school, however, because she still managed smash into her nemesis. In fact, she had wasted so much time yelling at him that by the time she had made it to school, she was later than ever. After receiving the usual detention, Usagi's mood depended, and, in an effort to cheer herself up, she sat down at her desk and opened her bag to sneak a snack from her lunch—only to realize that her bento was gone. She must have dropped it when she collided with that baka. Her foul mood worsened.
Hours later, Usagi finally trudged through the door to the Crown, tongue hanging from her mouth in hunger. Her eyes adjusted to the light, and then her face lit up as she recognized her fugitive bento, resting casually on the counter in front of her usual seat. Running over and snatching it up, she ripped it open enthusiastically, thinking to herself that for once, perhaps Mamoru was actually being nice—and then she dumped its contents out on the counter in disgust.
Carrots.
Glancing back at her bento in deprivation, she found a note on the bottom and retrieved it grudgingly.
Odango-
Surely you weren't going to eat all that junk for lunch? I thought maybe you could use something a bit more appropriate for a rabbit…
