80. Pandora's Box (258 words)

Usagi was rummaging around in the backroom of the arcade just after closing time, trying to amuse herself while Motoki finished locking up. He'd promised to give her a lift home. As Motoki entered the room she spotted a small, non-descript wooden box sitting by itself. "Hey Motoki what's in this box?" she asked as she lifted the lid.

"It's just a heap of stuff that Mamoru has left here over the years," replied Motoki. "I always mean to give it back to him but then I always forget."

Usagi nodded absently as she began taking things out of the box. A whistle, a small collection of coins, a key. A heap of game tokens, a dried up daisy, a green ribbon. "A toothbrush?" Usagi held up the said toothbrush in astonishment.

Motoki shrugged. "Mamoru is a strange guy."

"No kidding." Usagi set the toothbrush aside and grabbed the last thing in the box, a folded sheet of paper. She opened it and read:

Tsukino Usagi's smiles

As documented by Chiba Mamoru

Listed in order from Most Dangerous to Least

1. Sultry – Kiss me now I'm begging you

2. Fake – You hurt me but I refuse to let it show

3. Evil – You're in trouble mister

4. Dreamy – Kamisama I'm so lucky I'm in love

5. 100 Watts – Look at me I'm so cute

6. Shy – I'm nervous and scared, please be nice

Usagi blinked and furrowed her brow. "Motoki what is this?"

Motoki cringed when he realised what she was holding. "Uh-oh. He's going to kill me."
