The Sailor Senshi Rise Again:

Chapter 2: Phone Call Scolding

Usagi's father rolled out of bed the next day, then pulled out Haruka's number from his pants pocket. "She's had enough time to think things through," he said. He walked over to the phone, dialed the number, and waited.

He had to wait awhile before someone picked up, and then he heard a groggy voice say, "Hello? Who's this?"

"This is Usagi Tsukino's father speaking. Is this Haruka Tenou speaking?"

"What? No. This is Michiru. Do you need Haruka for something?"

"Yes. I would like to talk to her about my daughter's beating yesterday."

Michiru let out a long sigh. "Can't you call back later? It's 6:00 in the morning. She's still sleeping."

"No. I would like to speak to her now, please."

"Yes, very well. One moment." There was some rustling, and then Michiru's voice could be heard slightly even though the receiver was away from her mouth. "Haruka, Usagi's father wants you."

Usagi's father heard another voice say, "Oh God. What does he want?"

"It's about Usagi."

"What? Pushing her down the stairs? Really? Is she that pathetic?"

"Well, you DID break her leg."

"It's her own fault! She fell on it funny!"

"Just talk to him, Haruka."

"Fine, fine." Haruka's voice could now be clearly heard. "Why the heck are you calling so early, old man?"

"Watch your language, young lady!" Usagi's father scolded. He heard Michiru sigh in the background.

"I'll say whatever I want! You're not MY father!" Haruka said impatiently. "What do you want?"

Usagi's father huffed in exasperation. "I would like an apology from you concerning my daughter's beating yesterday."

"WHAT!" Haruka shouted. Usagi's dad had to hold the phone away at arm's length. "THAT"S why you're calling? I didn't DO anything! I gave her a shove, sure, but she lost her footing, fell, and then fell on her own dumb butt!"

"Don't use that tone with me!" Usagi's dad said sternly. "Just apologize, and promise to never do it again.

"Hmmm… No." There was a click, then nothing.

"She hung up on me?" Usagi's dad whispered to himself indigently. He redialed, and then waited.

"Hello?" said an angry Haruka's voice.

"That was extremely rude to—" There was another click. "Again?" he whispered. He redialed. Before he could even talk, he heard the phone being slammed down, then nothing. He tried this several times before giving up. "I'll just have to visit her later with Usagi in tow. Maybe THEN she'll realize the error of her ways." Usagi's dad strode over to Usagi's room. "Usagi." He shook her awake. "We're going to Haruka's. Get ready."

Usagi groaned. "Daddy, can't we go later?" Usagi looked at her clock and groaned again. "How about in six hours? Then we can talk. It IS Spring Break after all." Usagi threw her head back under her covers, and then started to snore.

Chibiusa groaned. "Grandpa, why'd you have to wake me up too?"

"Just go back to bed," Usagi's dad grumbled. He departed saying under his breath, "The things I do for that girl. And what do I get in return? Nothing. Just perfect."
