A/N: Had this crazy thing happened to me while riding the bus on the way home today. (March 8) Well, instead of telling my story, I'll just let you read my own anime interpretation. Also! This is not to make fun of the woman portrayed in this story. It was because of her that I came up with this idea. So in a way, it's a thanks even though she kinda irked me. Please read and review! Thanks!

"When is the bus arriving, Serena?" Haruka groaned as she leaned over the metal railing of the bus stop. The blonde looked down at her bus timetable,
"If we're in Keiyo, then the bus should be arriving soon to Tokyo." (1)
"Just how long is soon, Serena? If only I had my car, this waiting wouldn't have happened," Haruka sulked.
"Well, it is your fault for lending Rei your car for the weekend," Serena pointed out. Haruka let out a angry mumble. Down the road, Serena spotted their bus and waved Haruka over,
"Haruka! The bus is here!"
The bus stopped before them and Haruka and Serena got on. Haruka walked right past a woman who was offering people packets of cake mix. Serena however, took notice of that right away and sat next to her. Haruka was busily making her way to the back of the public vehicle when she noticed her girlfriend had disappeared from her side.
Serena?
Haruka looked around to find her koneko right at the front of the bus sitting next to a somewhat elderly woman.

"Young miss, would you like some cake mix?" the elderly woman stated, her mischievious eyes hidden by dark sunglasses. Serena's eyes sparkled with delight,
"Yes!"
"That''ll be $3.00," (2) the woman stated almost elated that a mere stranger had bought into her plan. But before she could get the money out of the teenager's hand, another hand reached out to snag the cake mix away from her customer and right back at her. The woman looked up just as the stranger next to her did, to see a woman no older than 18 standing before them.
"No thanks," the slightly older teenager replied and dragged the blonde away. The old lady watched as the two exited the public transport vehicle and mumbled something about rude children.

Haruka stood on the sidewalk as Serena glared at her,
"Why did you do that?"
"Why did you even buy into her poor excuse of trying to sell off her merchandise? I'm pretty sure that a convenience store would probably sell it cheaper than some random person out on the streets," Haruka explained. Serena pouted,
"But she was right there! It's better than traveling to some store."
"So? You want to have cake so badly that you're willing to buy it from a complete stranger? Who knows what she put in there! She had you eating right out of her hands, clinging on to you with her set of jaws!" Haruka cried.
"Are you saying that I'm easy to persuade?" Serena sneered. Haruka lifted her lips, face full of smugness,
"You didn't see right through her charade, so I'm guessing yeah. You are easy to persuade."
"I'll prove it. I'll prove that I'm not easily swayed," Serena stated. Haruka wanted to laugh right there and then. She wanted so badly to point out that it was completely impossible, but another voice cut in.
"Squid on a stick for a dollar! Squid on a stick!" a vendor man called out. Serena pulled out her purse and ran straight for the man. Haruka rolled her eyes, yup bad habits die hard. Very hard.

A/N: Sorry for the weird sentence forming. I had it all in my mind, literally but my mind and my hands are not forming an alliance. So . . . that's the result you see before you. Hopefully next time I'll write an outline first before spilling everything right out onto the word document. The next chapter will come up soon, I've got a few ideas floating around but have no motivation to start writing. The juices will come to me . . . in time. So wait for it!
(1) Keiyo is short for Keiyo Express HighWay in the Funabashi area of Japan.
(2) The exact words! Cuz I was there . . . yup, I was there eavesdropping while she was reeling in her next victim. . . That's the kind of life I have. But a great development into getting new story ideas.
