Hi, everyone! It's Koneko! I am sooo sorry! Between writer's block, moving, and sickness (times 10) this story was kind of put to the side. I was soooooooooo happy to write this chapter! In other news, I'm loving the electronic rules at my new school. I'm posting this chapter from Drama Class. :D Yay for technology!

Also, I have to apologize for a terrible chapter 4. That was a prime example on how trying to write through writers block doesn't work for me... *sigh*

Thank you:

"Okay, class," Haruna announced while looking at the clock. "Pencils down. Time is up. Please pass your papers to the front.

Usagi sighed and quickly bubble in the last few answers of her test. A hand reached for it. "Hold on, Naomi," she mumbled. She scribbled her name on the top of the paper and gave it to the girl.

She sighed. There goes another opportunity to raise her grade. The 'drawer of shame' was getting pretty full. Where would she hide this bad mark?

Wallowing in her own sorrow, the odangoed blonde almost failed to notice Kana-sensei walking into the classroom. "Haruna," the ever-loved teacher spoke to the red head in a hushed voice.

Although the students weren't sure what exactly Kana said, Haruna's reply gave away the main idea. She pursed her lips together. "Well, yes, we just finished the test but…"

"Please?" Kana begged. Ami and Makoto exchanged glances. Whatever it was Kana wanted, it was pretty important to her.

Eventually, Haruna sighed and nodded.

The brown haired woman jumped up and down and squealed like a school girl. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Usagi smiled. That was one of the things she liked about Kana-sensei. She was never afraid to act kind of childish in front of people

"Okay, class," Haruna said to the student while rubbed her aching temples. "Kana-sensei has the floor. Please treat her with the same respect you would give me."

Kana-sensei gave the class a little wave. "Okay, everyone! I just need a few students that are in my class. Kino Makoto, Masaki Sota, Tsukino Usagi, Nakamura Kaori, Osaka Naru and Saori Naomi, please come with me. Everyone else is waiting in the courtyard."

The lucky students eagerly stood and followed Kana out of the door. To leave math class to put together a festival was a heaven-sent miracle!

Mamoru walked into the principal's office of Juuban Middle School. "Please excuse my lateness, Sensei. My class lasted longer than expected."

The rosy cheeked principal gave a gentle smile. "It's not a problem, Mamoru-san. Your education is priority. Kana-san and the participating class is meeting in the courtyard at this moment. You'd better get there now."

Mamoru flashed a smile and walked out of the office.

"I just have to run to my locker!" Usagi broke away from the group and ran down the hall. She called, "I'll meet you all there!"

She continued to run until she turned a corner. It was there that she bumped into the college man and fell to the ground. She groaned as she looked up to him. "I knew it was too good to be true! I didn't bump into you this morning so it's only natural that you run into me at my school!"

Mamoru raised an eyebrow. "I bumped into you? That sounds a little backwards, Odango. Sorry to disappoint, but you bumped into me. You were the one running, not me."

Usagi turned red with frustration and stood up. "Why do you always have to get on my nerves? Get a life!" She stepped past him and stomped to her locker.

Mamoru chuckled and shook his head. Back to the situation at hand. Where was the courtyard…? The dark haired man found himself wishing he asked the principal for directions. Yes, he also went to this school while in middle school, but he remembered only a few things about his childhood. The layout of Juuban Middle wasn't one of them.

He looked around for someone to ask for direction, grimacing when he realized that Usagi was the only other person in the hall. "Oi, Odango!" He walked towards the girl.

Usagi groaned and rolled her eyes. "What do you want, Baka?"

"Do you know where the courtyard is?"

Usagi nodded. "I know where it is." She continued to put books in her locker.

Mamoru waited for directions in vain. "Aren't you going to tell me where it is?"

"Now why would I do a foolish thing like that?"

Mamoru glared at the younger girl. He was getting the feeling that this girl was much smarter than she let on… "Fine," he gave in, "I'll pay you fifty yen to tell me."

"I'll personally show you for one hundred," Usagi smiled.

What a conniving little brat…, Mamoru thought as he pulled out his wallet. He pulled out 100 yen. At least this way he'd know Usagi wouldn't get away with giving him faulty directions. With a glare he placed the money in Usagi's awaiting hand.

She smiled and slammed her locker closed. "Follow me," she sang sweetly. The blonde skipped down the hallway without a care in the world.

It took a little under five minutes to get to the courtyard where the students of Kana's first, second, and third period were gathered. "Thanks, Odango. Sorry I made you miss some of class."

"Don't apologize," the girl smiled.

Mamoru smiled back. She deserved that money. She, after all, went out of her way to make sure he got to his destination without difficulty.

"Usagi!" Makoto called to the girl. "Over here!"

"See you later, Mamoru-baka!" She ran over to join her friend, leaving an open jawed Mamoru in her wake.

She was coming here anyway? That con-artist! She was the smartest idiot in the world! He shook his head at his loss and looked around for the teacher in charge.

"Kana-sensei put us in groups," Naru explained while writing down ideas for her booth. "I asked if you could be in our group but Kana-sensei said that you had to be here to get assigned a group. Ours is all filled up. I'm sorry."

"That's okay, Naru-chan!" Usagi smiled. "I'll see Sensei now!" The heroine ran around the courtyard until she spotted the teacher. "Sensei! Sensei!"

Kana looked up from her clipboard and smiled "Ah, Tsukino-san. Is there a problem?"

"I came to see which group I am in!"

Kana looked on the clipboard. "Well, Tsukino-san, most of the positions are filled. But, we still need the perfect…princess. Are you interested?"

"Interested? I've always wanted to be a princess!" Usagi squealed. "This is so exciting!"

"If you think it's exciting now," Kana could barely contain her eagerness, "Wait until you meet your prince!"

At that, Usagi frowned. "Prince? What prince?"

"Well," Kana explained. "Princess Serenity was famously known on Earth because of not only her exquisite beauty and kindness but also because of her engagement to the prince of Earth. Part of the final Festival of Serenity, the prince and princess announced their engagement and shared their first public kiss."

Usagi blushed. "I have to kiss someone?"

Kana nodded. "It's just a stage kiss, sweetheart. Besides, your prince is quite the looker!"

"Either way, I have to kiss someone, right?"

"Kana-sensei?" a deep voice called.

"There's the prince now," Kana grinned.

"This costume might need some adjustment after all," the young man walked up.

"Princess Usagi," Kana said excitedly and pulled the girl to the man. "Meet your prince, Chiba Mamoru-san!"

Usagi groaned and cover her blushing face with her hands. "Out of the people of the world, why does the universe pick on me?"

Well, that's the chapter! I'll try not to take as long with the next chapter! Don't forget to review!
