Two Kitties and a Teenager
Chapter 2 Grocery store antics
((A/n- This one is a bit scattered I wanted to give idea on how Usagi feels about everyone forgetting her. Now all my oneshots will be in 3rd. I kno I consonantly change in home but im trying to stick with a pov with these. Dont forget to review!))
"Luna, do we have to spend an hour in each isle!" Usagi exclaimed while leaning on the halfway full cart.
Luna, sigh deeply feeling her patience drying." We haven't been in the isle for an hour Usa, will you please just stay calm and wait til were done."
"It sure feels like an hour," Usagi replied while examining the cart's contents. " Seriously Luna we do not need this much tuna!" She gestured at cans that seem to take up half the cart.
"I wouldn't be buying so much if someone knew how to keep her hunger under-control." Luna grumbled while placing a bag sugar in the cart.
"Well excuse me." Usagi said with a childish pout.
Luna felt the annoyed at the girl as tried desperately to control her temper. " Look, I hate grocery shopping as much as you do, but it must be done." She scan her list being sure she wasn't missing anything. "Why don't you make yourself useful and get the milk?" Luna suggested hoping for some peace and quiet.
"Fine, but I'm getting two percent." she grumbled clearly noticing Luna's eye roll.
Usagi felt tried and highly annoyed. She had spent the last two weeks since Beryl's defeat fighting random youma's, with very little sleep. Being a lone guardian was tough, but she was willing to do the job. She fanned herself a bit, regretting the long jeans and long shelved pink shirt. Luna had warned her about dressing heavily. But she really didn't feel like looking for a suitable weather related attire. Instead she grabbed the first clothes she could find. At least her long hair was pull in a tight ponytail, it help her feel the breeze from the fan's in the store.
She kept her steady walk towards the freezer section. She hated these weekly trips, but Artemis had pretty much begged her to help Luna. Something about not wanting to deal with antics of helping Luna choose the right cleaner. Or having to grab a few woman products here and there. Usagi laugh a bit thinking about Artemis pleads.
She kept her steady walk till she noticed the candy isle. Thinking that she derived a treat for helping Luna she walked over to the chocolate bars. Scanning for her favorite treat. Her eyes were searching for a dark chocolate bar, when she noticed the other occupant. She could smell the familiar scent of ocean water before looking to see the bluenette. Ami was standing just only a few steps away clearly looking for her own snack. Usagi felt her heart beat speed up.
She hadn't seen the girls since the day after the battle. She had made a rash decision to make sure the wish was granted. Checking on each one before rushing back to headquarters. She hadn't spent much time looking at them. Only getting a glance to see them alive and well. She hadn't expect to ever see them again. She had forgotten how few grocery stores Juban really had.
Usagi tried her best not to stare and draw attention to herself. As she took a peek at her first guardian, she had missed Ami presence many times. Especially when it cat to scanning the enemy for a weak spot. Or making up a tactful plans to win the fight. Now days she more winged it. She suddenly caught herself remember the fights before there deaths. The friendship and times they spent together just being teenagers. She felt tear gather her in eyes as she tried to push away the memories.
"Excuse me, miss?" She heard Ami say pulling her away from her thoughts.
"Um," her heart sped again, while she tried to think of reply. Did Ami recognize her? Had she trigger something...
" Would you mind moving slightly, I need to get," Ami gestured at the reece's pack.
Usgai felt a bit stupid and couldn't help but blush abit, before moving aside. "Sorry.." She grumbled.
"It's fine." Ami grabbed a reeces and placed it in her basket, she gave Usagi a small puzzling look before turning towards checkout.
Usagi sighed in relief garbing a bar quickly. Before rushing towards the milk, praying for no more surprises. But she had spoke too soon. She stop mid stride to see both Rei and Makoto. Rei was looking at the selection of fish, as Makoto seem to be selecting some new meat. Usagi took a deep breathe before ducking behind a self.
"Do they all shop here?" She grumbled peeking to see if the coast was clear.
By now though it didn't surprise her too Minko near the yogurt isle. "Someone seriously hate's me, next he will..." she choked on her words to notice a tall dark hair man garbing a gallon of milk.
She all but runaway from the section, towards the exit. Praying Luna would forgive her for leaving the store. But just couldn't handle all five them in one place. In her rush she didn't notice a lady heading in the same direction. They collided fast as Usgai felt the impact of her behind hitting to floor. She winced at the pain as cans scatted around them.
"Oh, I am so sorry." The lady muttered, Usagi eyes open frantically.
She knew that voice. For who could forget her own mother smoothing tone. She stared at her mothers blue eyes, her mouth hung open. She seem to forget how to speak, Unlike the girls she couldn't make herself check on her family. She had decide to leave that up to Luna. Who somehow was able to get all her possessions out of the house. Her family would never notice the missing items.
"Are you okay?" She asked Usagi with a look of concern.
"Y..yes..." She stammered while gently getting up from the floor, she reach down and help Ikuko pick up the groceries.
" Oh, thank you. I'm so sorry I was busy looking for some ingredients for-"
"Peach clobber." Usgai smile as she handed her the can of peaches. " The vanilla ice cream is just around to corner." She said with smile remembering the times her mother made the treat.
"Is it?" she smiled back at Usagi. " I feel so lost in this store, it's my first time, do you come here often?"
"Not after this trip." She muttered to herself.
"Excuse me?"
"Nothing," Usgai smiled.
"Um, well thank you." Ikuko felt a bit awkward before passing by the girl.
Usagi watched her mother walk away. She looked good, she thought to herself. Healthy and happy, a smile formed on Usagi face. As she thought about the shopping trips they had done together. They were the only time she liked grocery shopping. She felt tears forming again, wondering if the rest of her family was well. She thought about helping her mother and maybe asking. Till a pea green jacket came into sight. She instantly remembered why she was in rush.
She quickly made her exit, being sure not to bump into. She ducked behind an alley calling on her transformation. The pains of missing her love ones was causing strife. For the moment she only wished to feel the wind through her hair. To have a moment to forget herself, just like everyone else.
