Chapter 4 -

Previously:

"Mina...Where is Haruka's car?..."

The girls looked at each other, dread overtaking their features.

"We...Mina, we didn't drive last night in our condition did we? Like at all?" Usagi feared.

"No...No. Makoto picked us up. That I remember, clearly. We were riding in cars; in other cars with boys, but never behind the wheel."

Usagi rolled her eyes at more of the details that Mina recalled, her hand went to her forehead, while her other slipped off the table, hitting her waist. There she heard a crinkle in her pocket.

Carefully, she pulled out the piece of paper.

"Mina…"

"Yeah?"

"Read this…"

They both looked at each other, sharing the same internal thought.

"We got Haruka's convertible towed."

They both jumped at the tall shadow that had suddenly loomed over them from behind, as they turned around.

"Haruka..."

There, an unhappy and silent Haruka stood with her arms crossed over her chest.

Mina ripped the paper out of Usagi's hands, crumpling it in her hand, stuffing it in her own pocket.

"Mina…" Haruka said evenly. "I let you borrow my car last night. And while I am both surprised and very grateful you didn't get yourselves or anyone else killed last night, before you decided to party...I unfortunately need it back a little early...Mako called me, told me you two were here. Would you happen to know where it is? I didn't see it outside."

A panicked look, with much fear in their eyes struck both of their faces. Haruka simply waited without a word.

"Um...No?" But Haruka only had to open her mouth, before the girls rambled on.

"Please don't kill her, Haruka!" Usagi begged suddenly.

Haruka remained silent, almost contemplative.

"Haruka, please?" Usagi continued.

Haruka took another breath to speak.

Usagi shook her head, as tears filled her eyes.

"Girls...Where is my car?" Haruka asked patiently and slowly.

"It was an accident! We're sor-" Usagi started.

"You were in an-"

'"No, we weren't. The car is fine...We weren't driving afterwards. We never touched the car after we got there. I still have...well had the keys." Mina said.

"So, where is it?"

"Um…" Mina continued.

"You lost my car?"

"No, no, 'Ruka...We...Mina...Why are you making her so scared? Sorry...We, we accidently got it towed."

"Yeah, the towing company has your keys. We just don't know where or when it got towed..."

"You two did what?"

"No...Ugh. No...Mina give me the paper again." Mina handed over the receipt back to Usagi.

"It got towed at...7:45pm...for...illegal parking? Mina, that was even before we ever started drinking half an hour later."

Usagi blushed as did Mina, but then Usagi began to giggle.

"Hahaha...She, we...hahaha, your car got towed when we were completely sober and in our right minds...Well give or take a few screws. Hahaha. OMG that is great!"

"Usagi." Haruka said sharply.

Usagi immediately stopped laughing, and ducked her head. "Sorry, 'Ruka."

"Haruka, look. We are really, really sorry." Mina said.

"Yeah, we promise. We'll never borrow your car again...at least when you're not in it...We'll pay the fees for you. Here…"

Haruka smiled, holding up a hand for Usagi to stop searching her pockets for cash or a credit card.

"Relax guys. The car is here. Unharmed, in and of its own right."

"Huh?" Both girls looked dumbfounded.

"Did you even pay attention to what car you were bought home in last night?"

"No…"

"Mine. Mako came across it on her way to surprise you, Usagi. She paid the fees; so if anything, you both owe her. Then, when she passed the campus, she saw the two of you and the cops."

Haruka saw the two comprehend the new information. "What the hell did you two do last night?"

"I'd love to know the answer to that question."

"Makoto."

Makoto sat at the table across from the two guilty and quite frankly pathetic looking blondes. Haruka sat next to her.

"Me too." Setsuna replied, coming in after Makoto. She took the third seat around the table.

Mina and Usagi looked at each other.

This was worse than either her, or Usagi's parents, or even Luna and Artemis could probably ever be.
