Making memories
ChibiUsa drew in a deep breath of the salty air. Taking care to walk near Mamoru, she watched as the other girls ran down the beach. Usagi splashed into the surf with Minako close behind her. ChibiUsa looked up at her papa to gauge his reaction. The soft, happy smile on his face made her feel content. 'Not that I'll ever let Usagi know that.' The look on her mother-to-be's face was always fun to see whenever ChibiUsa started clinging to her Mamo-chan.
Ami's voiced pulled her out of her reverie. "This is a good spot. ChibiUsa, you can put the basket down here. Just let me spread out the blanket first."
ChibiUsa nodded in agreement, and then gratefully set the heavy basket down on the corner of the blanket. Casting a sideways glance at Mamoru, she watched him set up the umbrella. When he was done, she scooped up a sand pail and dangling it in front of her, she looked hopefully up at him. "Will you come looking for seashells with me?"
Mamoru knew he couldn't resist those soft pink eyes, so he nodded in agreement. "Ami, would you like to join us?"
Ami held up a thick book. "I have just a couple of more chapters, and Usagi gave me permission to finish them." She settled on the blanket under the umbrella. "I'll join you guys later."
ChibiUsa grabbed his hand and dragged him off to the sea's edge. 'Thanks, Ami. I finally get a few moments alone with my Papa.'
Usagi dodged Rei's splash. Spinning about in the surf, she caught sight of Mamoru and ChibiUsa walking down the beach. 'She really does deserve a little time to create memories with her dad that she probably can't make in the future. Being a princess and a King doesn't leave a lot of quality time I'm sure.' As she watched, she noticed the two sets of footprints being left behind them in the wet sand. 'It should be three. I should be with them, and we shouldn't squabble for once. We should make a happy family memory.'
Suddenly, a wave of water crashed down over her head. Sputtering as she surfaced, Usagi spotted Rei's expression and promptly forgot about the two shell hunters. Her soggy expression turned into a glare as the datk-haired girl grinned at her misfortune. Their battle started anew.
