RRTAB: Read, Review, and Tell A Buddy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or Aragawa!

"Can I open my eyes now?" Usagi asked as Mamoru led her though a crowded street.

"Not yet, Impatient One," Mamoru laughed. "I'll tell you when, okay?"

"Okay," the blonde replied. A moment later, she said, "Now?"

"No! I'll tell you when you can open your eyes."

Two minutes later, she said again, "Now?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"No."

Usagi pouted. "Why did I agree to come with you, again?"

"Because no one can say no to my amazing blue eyes and stunning smile?"

"Sure," she said sarcastically, "that's why."

Mamoru chuckled. "Just keep your eyes closed."

The two walked together for about ten minutes more until Mamoru stopped in front of a large building. "Okay," he whispered. "You can open your eyes."

Usagi's blue eyes fluttered opened and immediately widened. "Aragawa?" Mamoru flashed a charming smile and tried to lead the shocked girl inside. She pulled away. "Chiba Mamoru have you lost your mind? We can't eat here! This is the most expensive restaurant in Japan—heck, the world!"

Mamoru chuckled. "I know exactly what it is, Usagi-chan. Come on." He took her hand again and walked inside.

A moment later, Yuri also walked through the door with a smirk on her face. She watched as the waitress led the handsome man and the, in her opinion, out of place blonde to a clothed table.

Another waitress came to the podium. She walked to it, "Aiko-san."

The waitress bowed. "Hello, Tobayoshi-san. How may I help you?"

Yuri smirked. "Did you see that blond girl with the weird hairstyle come in?" Aiko nodded. "You see, she is a very good friend of mine and today is her birthday. I want a cake made for her. A big cake."

Aiko nodded again and pulled out her notepad. "Is there any kind of message that you want written?"

"Yes," Yuri leaned on the podium. "'Long live Princess Usagi.'" The waitress began to walk away. "And Aiko?" Aiko turned to face her. "Tell her it's from Chiba Mamoru. Got it?"

"Yes, Tobayoshi-san." The waitress walked away and Yuri had to bite back an evil laugh. Her revenge plan was in gear.

Usagi looked around excitedly, taking in the details of the tablecloth and the beauty of the chandelier. Mamoru chuckled. "Calm down, Usagi-chan."

"I can't!" the blonde cried. "I can't afford to breathe in this place, let alone eat here! How are you paying for this?"

"Don't worry. The cost is not a problem. Let's just say, when my parents died, they left me well off."

"Your parent died?" Usagi's eyes widened. "I'm so sorry, Mamoru-kun. Are you okay?"

Mamoru nodded. "It was a really long time ago and—."

Before Mamoru could finish, a waitress came over and placed their food on the table. Afterwards, she leaned towards Mamoru and whispered something to him. She gave a quick smile to Usagi and left.

Mamoru stood. "The chef wants to see me."

"Why?"

Mamoru shrugged. "Your guess is as good as mine," he replied. "Maybe it's regarding dessert. I'll return shortly. I promise." He walked towards the kitchen.

Usagi sighed. "He better not leave me with this bill," she grumbled. She chuckled. Some first date that would be. The blonde frowned. Was this a date? Surely Mamoru didn't take every girl to the most expensive restaurant in the world. In that case, there would be another question: what made Usagi so special?

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Mamoru was looking for the head chef. "Mamoru-san!" Yuri called from beside the door. "Over here!"

Mamoru frowned but walked over nonetheless. "Tobayoshi-san? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be helping with the festival preparations?"

"I'm the owner's daughter. And never mind that," the raven whispered. "I came to warn you."

"Warn me? About what?"

"Usagi-san is not who she seems. She's not as sweet and innocent as she seems."

Mamoru rolled his eyes. "This is ridiculous. If you don't mind, I'm going back to join my date."

Yuri grabbed his arm to keep him from leaving. Using quick thinking, she said, "That's it! This isn't a date to her!"

Mamoru tensed. "What?"

"That's right. And that's not all. She knows you like her and this is all part of her elaborate scheme to reject you."

"You're lying."

Yuri sighed. "I wish I was. In short, she plans to throw cake in your face."

Mamoru pulled away from the girl. "Usagi wouldn't do that."

"Wouldn't she?" Yuri crossed her arms. "Follow me." She led him to a cooking station where a chef was busily topping a cake with icing. "Satomi-chan, who is that cake for?"

The chef paused in her work to look at the order. "Tsukino Usagi. Table 13, Tobayoshi-san."

Mamoru felt as if someone sucker punched him. His throat went dry. "I can't believe this."

Yuri patted his back. "I know. It's a lot to take in. But there is a way to avoid the humiliation she planned for you. Stay in the bathroom until I tell you to come out. I'll handle the rest."

Mamoru shook his head. "No. I have to talk to her."

"No!" Yuri cried. She cleared her throat and said in a much quieter voice, "No. You have to do as I say. Go to the bathroom and stay there. Unlike her, you can trust me."

Mamoru stayed silent for a while but eventually nodded. "Okay."

Once Mamoru was gone, Yuri grinned. "He's so gullible," she mumbled to herself. "If he wasn't so cute, I'd kill him."

The evil senshi pulled a piece of paper from her pocket and sent Satomi a glance. "Is the cake almost ready?"

"Yes. Just one more thing," she spelled the words onto the cake using the icing tube. "Princess…Usagi… Finished!"

"Finally." She placed the paper on the cake. "Take it to the table. Now." The chef picked up the large cake and slowly left the kitchen. Yuri smirked. "And now for the main event." She stepped over to the door and peeked out of it.

"Excuse me," Usagi called the chef over. "My friend was visiting the head chef. Do you know when he'll be back?"

The chef shook her head. "But…are you Tsukino Usagi, ma'am?"

The blonde nodded. "I am."

"Then, this cake is for you." That was Yuri's cue. Using her dark magic, she gripped the cake and threw it in Usagi's face.

The girl stood up and screamed. The chef immediately and continuously apologized. Yuri laughed.

The cake covered odangoed girl wiped the cake from her eyes and tears ran down her face. She tried to clear her hair of some of the cake when she felt a piece of paper. She opened it.

Enjoy your piece of cake, Pizzaface. -Mamoru.

"How could he?" she whispered to herself. She crumpled the paper in her hand.

"Please, let me get you a towel," the chef insisted.

"No," her voice was soft. "You were only doing your job. It's okay. Really. I just want to go home." She grabbed her backpack from off the floor and started away.

In the bathroom, Mamoru sat on a comfortable chair in the waiting area. He stayed in there for five minutes, trying to calm down. As much as it didn't sound like Usagi, he saw the cake! The chef said it was her order! He sighed. "I need to talk to her," he concluded. He stood and walked out of the bathroom just in time to see a cake covered Usagi leave the table.

On her way out, she spotted Mamoru. She changed her route and walked to him. "You know," her voice was raw from crying. "If you didn't want to be with me, you could have just said so. What did I do to deserve this humiliation, Chiba?"

Mamoru frowned. "Excuse me? You were the one trying to throw cake in my face!"

"Yes," Usagi said sarcastically. "That's why I'm the one covered in cake, right? I guess I conveniently wrote this note to myself, too, right?"

"Note?"

She threw the wad of paper at him. "That note." She shook her head. "And here I thought I actually had a chance with you. How stupid of me."

"I don't understand," Mamoru ran a hand through his hair. "Yuri said—."

"Yuri? Yuri Tobayoshi hates me, Mamoru! How could you believe her over me?"

"I saw the cake!"

"And when could I have ordered the cake? You made the reservations and I've been with you the entire time!"

Mamoru sighed and gave a sheepish look. "…I guess this makes me look like a total jerk, huh?"

"That," Usagi wiped some cake from her nose, "is an understatement. I thought you trusted me. I thought you thought more of me."

He placed a hand on her shoulder. "Usagi, I—."

"Save it," the blonde pulled away from him. "Just do me a huge favor and leave me alone. Congratulations, Chiba, I was really surprised. If you'll excuse me, I have to wash cake out of my hair." Usagi spun on her heel and went through the door, not sparing Mamoru another glance.

Mamoru sighed, stepped against the wall, and slid to the floor. He rubbed his temples. "Goodness, Tobayoshi," he whispered under his breath. "What did you do?"

And that's the chapter! Just when you thought they were going to get together, too... Sorry, guys. Can't have conflict resolution without conflict~ Anyways, love it? Hate it? Hate Yuri? Think Mamoru is gullible? Should Usagi forgive and forget? Tell me in a review!

Regarding my new idea-I have two! And I've decided what to do with them! As for the first, I'm putting that in the sequel to SOTA. The second will be a new story (I think you'll like it!) but MarsCrystal42 said it the best: I'm working on a lot at once. The last thing I want to do is lose inspiration because I think these stories are turning out pretty well. Due to that fact, I'm probably not going to put it up until I'm finished with this story, IDW, and SOTA.

One more thing! This story has five to ten more chapters left. There may or may not be a sequel. Probably not. I'm not sure as of yet. I'll have to see if it has room for a sequel.

Well, that's all for now! Don't forget to review!
