Thank you again! Love it when you mention your favs, people. +hughughug+ Yeah, I'm crazy like that, lol. Well, Dudly, to be frank, if I have one issue with SM canon it's Mamoru being blind to the likeness of Usagi and Sailor Moon. I mean, those pigtails! Even if he doesn't believe they are the same person, he has to have noticed the pigtails! Heheh.

And yep. I'm writing these ministories with the thought that they unconsciously like each other, LanieV. As I was telling goddessofice at LJ, Mamoru already likes her. He's just in denial. Meanwhile, Usagi 'gravitates' towards him. Because, let's admit it. If she wanted him out of her life, she'd just ignore him as she ignored Umino. Btw, anyone remembers when Naru and Umino started going out together???

Heheh, C.Shakespeare. Yes, I've written a lot of drabbles. Especially for open on Sunday, at LiveJournal. After a year and some at that community, I'm 'slightly' addicted to drabbles. If slightly means 'will jump at the chance to do it!'. lol

I'm wordy today, ain't I. +hides+. Anyway, DISCLAIMER: I wish they were mine. But they are not. 

021. MISCHIEF

"Hello, Mamoru."

"Hello," he answered, disconcerted. No 'jerk', no random insults, not even a hateful glare. Just that big, big grin…. "Anything the matter?" If she could play nice, so could he.

"Say, Mamoru, could you pweeeease help me with that big box?"

Of course. She wanted a favour. He nodded anyway.

"Thank you so much!" she rushed out once he returned.

As he took back his cup, he never noticed when Usagi lifted the box effortlessly and hurried outside. Only once he balked at his coffee's taste did he discover them:

Seven packages of sugar hiding under his plate.

022. CHRISTMAS

"But Usagi, it's June!" Ami tried to reason.

Usagi shook her head. "It's never too early to start window-shopping for Christmas," she instructed her new friend.

"You could apply that sentiment to our school assignments."

"Ami-chan!" the blonde protested. "Now you're sounding like Luna. She keeps nagging me about my homew---"

They stood before a men's clothing display. Ami attempted to discover what'd distracted Usagi and found a blazer in an… interesting… shade of green. Didn't it look familiar? But the spell broke quickly and Usagi marched away, muttering under her breath:

"As if he needed a new one!"

023. VALENTINE'S DAY

"Shouldn't you be sharing that box with the boy who sent it?"

Usagi rolled her eyes. "No, not you." Not even the park was safe from him. "I am hiding from Umino. Shouldn't you be somewhere else? Anywhere?"

"I prefer to avoid girls today." Then, at her glare, "Girls who like me, I mean."

"To annoy the ones who don't?"

Mamoru smirked and sat beside her. "Got it in one, Odango."

Usagi kept glaring. "I won't get rid of you, will I?"

Mamoru shook his head.

The box of chocolate was thrust under his nose. "Then eat and shut up!"

024. DRAGONFLY

"Gone camping lately, Odango?" Mamoru called out.

Usagi glared, aware that an insult lurked in there but unable to pinpoint it. She settled for the obvious. "Don't call me that!"

"Come here, Usa." Motoki waved her closer. "I'll help you."

"Help me?"

"With the bug on your hair," Mamoru supplied.

Motoki shushed him. Too late.

"Wha-A-at?! Get it off! Get it off!"

Mamoru reach out and plucked it out. A dragonfly. "Poor thing, you scared it."

Usagi was torn between thanking or hitting him. Instead she studied the insect. "It's beautiful."

Mamoru blinked, suddenly struck by her nearby presence. "Yeah…."
