As time passed it was finally the night where Mamoru would officially meet and ask Usagi's parents. He came over just a minute past seven and as he walked in, everyone crowded him at the door. Shingo (Usagi's younger brother) tried sharing embarrassing stories about her, her mom was welcoming, and her dad was not as much.
"Welcome Mamoru. Do you like lasagna?" Her mother asked.
"Yes, thank you for having me over. You have a lovely house." Mamoru said trying to look good in front of the girlfriend's parents and trying to hide how nervous he actually was.
"Thank you. Please everyone be seated in the dining room, dinners almost ready." Mama Ikuko said before returning to the kitchen.
"So…Mamoru Chiba…have you ever been arrested?" Usagi's Papa asked.
"N-No sir!" Mamoru answered.
"Papa!" Usagi whined.
"Did you know that when Usagi was younger she used to be less chubby than she is now?" Shingo said.
"SHINGO!" Usagi raised her voice and put an angry face on. Later on everyone went to the dining room to eat. The table was set nicely and they all started with salads.
"So Mamoru, I hear you're in college. What year?" Mama Ikuko asked.
"Oh, I'm in my fourth year of college." He responded.
"So that would make you how old exactly?" Papa asked.
"Twenty one, sir." Mamoru gulped a little bit.
"So a twenty one year old is dating my seventeen year old daughter?" Papa asked.
"Dear, don't be rude!" Mama Ikuko said.
"Well I'm just a little nervous of sending our daughter away with a boyfriend who's so much older than she is."
"Dad!" Usagi whined.
"With all due respect sir, I'm not the kind of man you think I am. I've never touched your daughter in an inappropriate way. And I would never do anything to hurt her. I care about her very much and would never to anything to her that would make her hate me. Because that is the last thing I want." Mamoru said smiling at Usagi, as she smiled back.
"Hmmf…well…" Papa began. Everyone starred intensely at him.
"I guess…it would be ok…for a week…but you have to be home on Sunday before five, no exceptions!" Papa finally said.
"Aww man! That means idiot Usagi will be having a better summer than me." Shingo said as he walked away, pulling down his eye lid and sticking out his tongue.
"Why you!" Usagi yelled as she chased him around the house. Mama Ikuko tried to stop them from embarrassing the family. After dinner Usagi walked Mamoru out to his car.
"So…our first vacation together." Usagi said.
"Yeah, I'm sure it'll be fun." Mamoru said.
"I know it will be. The games, the beach, with my friends, and Mamo-Chan of course!" She smiled brightly. The two starred at each other without a word then started leaning close to each other till the outside lights started flickering. They turned their head to see Usagi's father watching from the window and her mother coming over closing the blinds to give them some privacy. The two starred back at each other. Usagi got on her toes and Mamoru leaned down to kiss her gently on the lips. The kiss felt so sweet and warm. Later they bid each other farewell as he drove back to his apartment. She ran back in.
"Dad! Where are you?"
"Your father went to get ready for bed as you should be." Mama said.
"But-"
"-NO! Now off to bed you." Usagi pouted and dragged her feet up the stairs. When she got changed and pretended to sleep after an hour, when things quieted down, she ran downstairs to sneak a phone call to Rei.
"Hello?" Rei answered sounding sleepy.
"Rei-Chan!" Usagi said joyfully.
"Usagi! Why are you waking me up this late?"
"My parents said we could bring Mamoru! We can go!"
"You called me at eleven for this?"
"Well…yeah!"
"Usagiiiii!" Rei sounded angry.
"So can you send a reply letter to them by tomorrow?"
"Yeah, sure, of course! It's not like I have anything better to do with my time." Rei said sarcasticly.
"Great! So see you tomorrow." Then she hung up excited.
"Sir, sir! They said yes to the letters." A young man said running to a dark figure with the reply in his hands.
"Excellent! Finally at long last! Very soon, I shall have my revenge." The figure said.
