"Kino, I need the Chocolate "Pecan Pie" Bar Cookies!" Chef Simon yelled as Makoto ran to the oven
"Five more minutes chef" she announced
"How about those smoked salmon in caper sauce?"
"Their waiting in the walk chef"
"Where are you at Alexicia?" The chef asked the other helping teen
"just finishing up the white wine sauce chef"
"What are you starting now Kino?"
"The roasted tomato Salsa chef"
Usagi smiled as she watched her friend dice the roasted tomatoes like a pro "no need to bother her" she whispered as she quietly left the bustling kitchen
"Hey Bun's!" Usagi turned around and smiled as Seiya ran up to her "ready to practice?"
Usagi nodded as the two walked back stage.
Military Life
Chapter 12
"WOW!" Usagi took a deep breath as she looked from behind the curtain "so many people"
"There's always this many people Bun" Seiya said with a laugh
"Yea, but they were never there"
Seiya looked out and realized she wasn't nervous about the number of people but that her friends sat out in the audience
"You two will be great, I'm sure of it" Ken said with a smile "but I need to run and help my sister get ready before she kills me"
"Hey Ken!" Seiya yelled
"Yea?" he asked walking back over to Seiya
"Does...Does your sister know about…us?"
"Yes" Ken said quickly "but don't worry" he noticed the worry on Seiya's face "she knows not to say anything"
"You sure?"
"Seiya, if anyone understands keeping secrets it's her" he said with a smile "she's been keeping her relationship a secret for years"
"Why?"
Ken smiled "after mom found out I was gay, she turned to my sister, thinking that she was her last chance at grandchildren…but-"
"Your sisters a lesbian" Usagi said standing behind seiya
"Yes"
"Bunny, how did you know?" Seiya asked confused
"By the look in their eyes" she answered
"Who's eyes?"
"Michiru and Haruka" she said pointing at them "see" the three turned around and found Haruka standing next to Michiru brushing a piece of her turquoise hair out of her face
"that's her girlfriend…I'm sure you understand that no one can know, everyone believe their super close best friends…if anyone was to fine out-"
"Haruka would be kicked out of the military" Seiya said staring at the couple
"Exactly, so like I said she is the one person who can understand secrets" Ken said his goodbyes and left
------
Now that the kids, toddlers and infants were with their parents, Mamoru and Motoki sat smiling next to Rei, Minako, a flour covered Makoto, Ami, a scared looking Zoi, a confused looking Jed, annoyed looking Nephrite—who was still watching the preteens who sat in front of him—a frustrated looking kunzite—who too was watching the teens that sat in front of him—and four of Usagi's old friends Kelsey, Molly, Alexicia, and Natasha.
Standing at the far corner of the room was Haruka.
"USAGI!" turning around Usagi smiled to see Hotaru smiling up at her handing her a microphone "here…break a leg" Usagi winked at the girl before ruffling her hair and walking out onto the stage as Mara began to speak to the crowd
"Good evening everyone and welcome to our FRG celebration! Tonight we have a fun filled night of music by my son Seiya Walker" there was a thunderous applause "and our little sweet heart Bunny Tsukino" again the crowd cheered "after their performance we will have a very special and very exciting performance by world famous Michiru Kuo fallowed by four of our own little talented girls Natasha, Jessica, Molly and Kelsey. There was another cheer as Kelsey and the other three girls stood up and waved After Mara left the stage
Once Mara was off the stage Usagi took a seat on a stool as Seiya sat next to her with his guitar
After performing "Breath" The crowd applauded the two teens, soon the parents were out of the theater leaving all the teens and preteens to enjoy the continuing concert and party.
Seiya and Usagi remained on stage ready to sing their next song. Haruka brings over a small key board and sit's it in front of seiya, as he places his guitar on its stand. The two preformed two more songs, "Two is better than one" and "Pocket Philosopher"
It was now time for Michiru piece.
Michiru walked out with her violin smiling and waving the still cheering crowd. She smiled when she heard a young girl yell "Oh my god it's Michiru!!!"
Out in the crowd Kelsey stood as did her three friends
"Um…Where are you going?" Kunzite asked raising an eye brow
"We're performing next" she said as they started to walk away
"But wait! What about…about…them?" Nephrite asked pointing a finger at the preteens and teens
Natasha shrugged "watch them" she said as they walked away
Kunzite and Nephrite turned to the rest of the guys
"Oh no, I did my job" Mamoru said laughing "I'm just here to have some fun"
"You guys really suck you know that?!" Nephrite growled as Kunzite glared at one of his teens
They quieted down as the music started and soon ended, taking a bow Michiru walked off the stage
Mamoru looked to Seiya, who joined them in the audience "where's Usako?"
"She's singing with her friends"
The first to perform was Molly; she sang "Fifteen" Back up by Usagi
In the audience Mamoru and the rest stood smiling at their blond friend.
"That's my girl" Mamoru turned around at the words, to find a man standing behind him smiling up at Usagi as everyone danced around them to Natasha singing "Hometown Glory" with Usagi as back up.
"Usagi's really becoming a beautiful young woman" the man said again looking at a confused Mamoru "Well, enjoy the party son" the man then turned around and walked away.
The man was a little taller than Mamoru, with the same bright blond hair as Usagi and deep blue eyes "Wait" Mamoru yelled, but the man continued to walk away
"What was that about?" Rei asked turning to her brother
"I don't know" Mamoru said staring at the spot where the man was just standing "But I have a bad feeling…"
"What did he say?" Minako asked curiously
"I heard someone say 'That's my girl' so I turned around, then he said something about Usagi growing up to be a beautiful woman" Mamoru scratched the back of his head
"That's weird" Makoto said looking back to the stage "but she is amazing tonight, completely different from the musicals right seiya?" she turned to her tall raven haired friend to find him missing "where'd he go?" the group looked around
"Maybe he went back stage" Minako said with a shrug as she grabbed hold of Motoki's hand
"Maybe" Mamoru whispered, something didn't feel right but he only shrugged it off turning back to the stage.
The next song started by Jessica singing "Funhouse"
Seiya walked over to the man that had just left Mamoru, scowling as the man stopped outside the theatre "What do you want Seiya?" the man's voice was tired and sorrowful, he did not turn around as his hands remained in his pockets
"Why are you here? She doesn't need this right now!"
"I only wanted to see her" he said still not turning
"Why are you here?!" Seiya asked again
Taking a deep breath the man shook his head "like I said just to see her…why is that such a bad thing?"
"Kakeru, you know she knows nothing of you! In fact she just recently found out about her biological mother"
"Our mother" the man corrected
"Stay away from her" was all seiya said before walking back to the theatre, but stopping at the door "She's finally happy now…leave her be"
"What if he dies?" that question stopped seiya from opening the door, slowly Kakeru turned around, his face serious and curious at the same time "What if he dies? Where will she go? Who will she have?" he ran his hand through his hair "I have rights Seiya; I understand what it's like to lose your family"
"She will live with her Aunt and Cousin Mina, she'll have us, all of her friends….she'll have me…"
"I get that you hate me Seiya, for reasons I don't quite understand, but never the less she has a right to know….a right to know that she has an older brother that loves her, as her blood relation I do have the right to fight for her"
Seiya only laughed "You may be her brother by blood, but you'll never be the brother she wants nor needs, you'll just hurt her like your whore of a mother did!"
"Leave my mother out of this seiya!" he growled "You know nothing about me! Usagi is MY sister, I have been absent from her life long enough!"
"Stay away from her" he warned as he walked in to the theatre leaving the man alone
Back in the theatre Seiya took a deep breath as he walked back to his friends "Where have you been?" Minako asked
"I had to get some fresh air, we have one more song and then it will be time for dinner, then we get to go to the hotel" Seiya said as he rubbed his temple
Mina looked at his questionably "did something happen?"
"Everything's fine"
"You just sound irritated…and pissed" she pointed out
"It's nothing, let's just head back to the group, I want to catch the last song"
Mina nodded still feeling as if something wasn't right
"HEY!" they turned around to find Ken running toward them "Hey guys! Seiya you and Usagi did an amazing job up there!" he smiled
"Thanks" Seiya said still looking irritated
"What's the matter?" Ken asked
"Nothing" seiya answered
"SEE! I knew something was wrong!" Minako placed her hands on her hip
"Was it that blond guy you were talking to outside?" Ken asked
"What blond guy?" Minako asked "not the same guy Mamoru told us about?"
Seiya looked over at Minako, fear in his eyes "what did he say?" he asked worried
Ken and Minako looked to one another concerned "just that Mamoru heard him say 'that's my girl' or something and so he turned around and the man said something about her growing up to be a beautiful young woman"
"Why? do you know him?" Ken asked
"It's nothing…let just get back" he saw them ready to protest "guys seriously, I don't wanna talk about it okay? I'm fine, let's just go"
Without another word the three teens walked back in silence.
As they returned to their groups Seiya and Ken laughed as they saw Rei and Makoto dancing with two very handsome Marines and to both their surprise so was Ami. But what they found really amusing was the scowls that adorn all the men but Mamoru and Kunzite…until Motoki took Minako onto the dance floor, Seiya busted out in a fit of laughter as Kunzite's handsome face distorted into a scowl
"Seems like Kunzite has fallen for our little fashion mink" Seiya pointed out as Mamoru smiled
"To bad she's in love with Motoki" Mamoru said with a laugh
Mamoru, Seiya and Ken smiled as they watched the girls on stage laughing as they high fived each other once the song was finished. The last song was sung by Kelsey she sang "Spotlight"
Once the song was over all five girls hugged and turned to the screaming crowd as they took a bow and waved good bye
Once out in the audience Mara walked over to the group thanking them for their help. She hugged her son and Usagi wishing them a safe ride home tomorrow.
After eating dinner and cleaning up the group retired to their hotel, Sadly Ken had to leave with his sister and Haruka.
GIRLS ROOM
"So how did ya'll meet?" Molly asked as she laid on her stomach across the large king sized bed next to Minako
"We've been friends since we were babies" Rei answered as she sat next to Kelsey on the love seat
"How 'bout you guys?" Makoto asked as she took a bite of her pizza next to Natasha
"We met when we were nine…we saw Bunny sitting alone" Natasha looked to Kelsey
"So we decided to introduce our selves" Kelsey said with a smile
"When we found out she was military we were extremely glad" Jessica said looking to Ami who sat next to her on the floor
"How did the band get started?" Ami asked
"We were playing around singing spice girl songs in Bunnies room one afternoon when…"Jessica looked down a sad smile came to her lips
"It's alright Jess" Usagi said smiling "when my mom came up she flipped, she thought it was the radio singing, so we decided to start out little group"
"every year for the FRG we get together and perform a little for fun" Kelsey said giving Usagi a glare "but SOME BODY hasn't shown up for over five years!"
"Sorry sorry, I just…you know…you all know singing was never my thing" Usagi said with a shrug
"Are you kidding me?!" Rei yelled "Usagi your fantastic up there, I've never seen you as happy as you are when you're on that stage!"
"Okay, enough of this conversation, what I want to know is how did you ladies like the guys?" Usagi asked seeing her Japanese friends light up
"He said I smell like an oyster" Molly said shaking her head "I do not smell like an oyster"
"It's okay Molly, he said Rei smells like Cheese" Minako said laughing "in fact he even calls her different cheese names"
"And I smell like blueberries" Kelsey added giving her friend a sympathetic smile
"That's not as bad as being compared to a damn oyster!" Molly popped a piece of chocolate in to her mouth "I hate fish" she grumbled "I'm a freaking vegan for crying out loud!"
"Why did he smell you?...I mean people just don't go around smelling each other…or is that some kind of Japanese custom?" Jessica asked curiously as Minako, Ami, Makoto and Usagi just shook their heads
"It's because he's crazy" Rei said with an annoyed look "the man is deranged and should be held in a padded cell with a straight jacket"
IN THE BOYS ROOM
"That was AMAZING" Nephrite said laying on the large king sized bed "I mean wow, I never knew Usagi could sing like that"
"Cookie did very well" Jed said with a smile
"So how did you guys like your jobs?" Mamoru said leaning against the bottom of the bed
"That Molly girl smelled like oysters" Jed said plugging his noise
"Please please, Jed explain to us this whole smelling thing" Mamoru said waving his hands in the air
Jed shrugged "I have a hyper sensitive Noise" he said "okay let me explain….Air is sucked up into your nostrils over bony ridges called turbinate's, which add more surface area to your sniffer. The air travels over millions of olfactory receptor neurons that sit on a stamp-size sheet, the olfactory epithelium, on the roof of the nasal cavity. Odor molecules in the air stimulate and inhibit the receptors. Each aroma sets off a signal made by the receptors that travels along the olfactory nerve to the olfactory bulb. The olfactory bulb sits underneath the front of your brain. Signals from the bulb tell your brain what reeks….this is normal in everyone, but my receptors are more advanced I guess you can say" he looked around as everyone stared at him in shock "What?...I'm not a moron!" he yelled knowing what they were thinking "I do know a thing or to ass wholes!"
"So what do I smell like?" Kunzite asked as everyone turned to him "what? I wanna know"
"Grass"
"Grass?" Kunzite shrugged "okay" as he stood up to leave the room
"Where are you going?" Mamoru asked
"To smell some grass"
"What about me?" Zoi asked curiously
"Paper"
"Paper? How does one smell of paper?" he asked curiously as he picked up a book to smell it "interesting"
"What about me?" Nephrite and Mamoru asked at the same time
"Neph you smell like bark"
"Bark?"
"Yes like tree bark"
"Why?"
"I don't know man!"
"What does bark smell like?"
"Bark" Jed answered causing mamoru to laugh "go sniff a tree"
"I'll go do that" he said exciting the room
"Mamoru you smell like Roses and chocolate"
"Really?" he said with raised eye brows "sweet"
"It's a very nice smell, why do you think I always tackle you?"
"Okay that's both bizarre…and frightening…now that I know that bit of disturbing information…I am switching your position" Mamoru said taking a seat on the bed and turning to seiya, who was facing the window "hey man, you alright? You've been kinda distant since you disappeared on us at the theater"
"Yea…I'm fine, just got some things on my mind is all" there was silence
"Seiya smells like the ocean" Jed said breaking the silence
IN THE GIRLS ROOM
"Um…girls…why is Kunzite smelling grass like a dog? And why does it look like nephrites making out with a tree?" Makoto asked as she looked out their window
