"Dō shita no, motto yukkuri hashirenai no," asked Makoto in a mocking tone.
"Damatte Mako," Usagi helped back, "first that girl, now they're leaving me!"
Usagi then remembered everything from last night, she huffed.
"U-Usagi," questioned Luna, "are you okay? You haven't spoken nor moved in a while…"
"Hm? Oh…Shinpaishinaide. Genkidesu. Watashi wa tada zentai no koto o kangaete ita ndesu...Gozonji no yō ni, on'nanoko ga sora kara ochite kite, dō iu wake ka watashi no kurisutaru no koto o shitte ita nodesu," Usagi replied, she then pouted, "I can't believe that kid kissed Mamo-chan…and had the audacity to…"
Luna sighed as she assured Usagi, "Usagi-san, anokoha watashi ga mimamoru tte ittanoni. Watashi o shinjite."
"I do trust you! I just…ugh! I just wish that the others wouldn't mock me for this…"
"They didn't mock you. They were concerned, Usagi," stated Luna, "you need to clear your mind, don't you? Because, from what I remember, they were worried."
ANOTHER FLASHBACK BC I SAID SO:
Makoto stretched in her seat and sighed, "Damn, it's awesome to not have to fight anymore!"
Usagi banged her fist into a table, "It's not awesome for me at all!"
Makoto giggled, "Ah, that's right! Anata no chīsana' mondai o wasurete imashita. So, who's this Chibi-Usa?"
"A secret child perhaps," chuckles Rei.
"Hm," started Ami, "Watashi wa ikiwakareta imōto' ni tōhyō shimasu."
Usagi flinched, "W-what? She's not my-"
"Delicious," gleamed Minako as she ate her food, glancing up at the group, "both the desert and the tea, hehehe!"
"Mina-san," pouted Usagi.
"Ha, my bad, princess," she apologized, still laughing slightly.
"Ugh, guys! Look, she's got my mom and dad wrapped around her little finger!"
"But, this weird spell only affects them in regard to this Chibi-Usa. So, that means that everything else is normal, right?"
Usagi huffed and pouted, "I guess so. Shingo is still his bratty self."
"Rei-san," asked Ami.
Rei was playing with a cherri from her smoothie/ice-cream, "Eh? Ā, Ami-san. I'm sorry, I zoned out for a sec."
Ami smiled, "That's alright-"
Luna then jumped onto the table causing Usagi to greet her, Luna cleared her throat, "Ahem, Min'na, I came bearing gifts!"
"Luna, what do they do," asked a curious Makoto.
"Their new transformation pens for Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury. And also new communicators for everyone!"
"Wā, arigatō, Luna-san," thanked Minako.
"Of course, ladies. And, now that the Moon Castle, along with the remains of the Sun Citadel have been restored, these pens should give you all even more power than before!"
Minako picked up her wand shaped pen, "That means…we're sailor guardians once more!"
Usagi grinned, "Nante sutekina no!"
Ami leaned closer to Usagi, winking as she whispered: "Back to work, right?"
Usagi blushed slightly, as Rei hugged her from behind, "Our Moon Princess needs protection, after all!"
"It's a pretty thankless job," started Minako.
"But somebody's gotta do it," continued Makoto.
"Aw, you girls are the bestest friends ever," Usagi laughed.
"Heh, we love you two, Usagi," chirped Ami.
END OF FLASHBACK:
"Uh no? Remember, at first they made fun of me," pouted Usagi.
"And then they gave reasonable advice," added Luna, "plus, today's and the previous day's events are far more complicated."
"Oh, are you talking about that pink wand, the moon rod," asked Usagi.
"It's not just a wand, nor a rod! It's Queen Serenity's Royal Speture," scolded Luna.
"Uh huh…my bad. But ya know what they say, spectrum, wand, rod, same same," she shrugged as she started to walk to her house to meet her friends.
"This is serious, Usagi," Luna pouted.
"I know! It's just that this whole situation is so frustrating! I wish Mitsuki would hurry up and remember. I could really use his help," stuttered Usagi as she started to cry.
"I…okay. How about this? What if we MADE him remember," suggested Luna.
Usagi sniffed, "Hm? Made him? How?"
"Well," Luna starated, "why don't we jog his memory? Show him key things that were important in the Silver Millennium. We could show him you, the girl's alter ego's, the kingdoms, along with Zemon. Then, hopefully, he should remember."
"Ah…that does sound smart…I'm in! There's no time for self pity, I have a battle to fight, and a brother to enlighten, to the house!"
"Finally," grumbled Luna.
———————————————————————————————-
The Hamato family is really nice. They're extremely friendly and welcoming! Donnie and April weren't lying when they said that the guys will be nervous in their own ways…
Leo, the blue one, made jokes NON-STOP, sure, some of them were funny, but not all of them.
Raph, he's really soft but…I don't think he really understands social norms-
Mikey, he's really loud. It's not a bad thing! Just…a very obvious quirk; he's also very creative! He even suggested that we go spray-paint some time!
Splinter, he's cool. I thought he would be more…active in his son's lives…
Anyways, a lot has happened since I met them, it's not difficult to hang out, I live about 30 minutes away, so we hang out a lot.
We've been on many adventures together, like the time me, Donnie, and Leo helped April be "normal," or when we all had to fight Baron Draxum, some other villains, etc. These guys are a lot of fun to be around! I've even gotten closer to Mikey! My lucks going through the roof! :D
That was, until the turtles had to fight Draxum, like, an actual battle. The guys are pretty shaken up…so is April. BUT, now, Cassandra is on our side! She's nice too. I just hope nothing more complicated happens…
"Uh, Miles? Did you even listen to anything I said," deadpanned Mikey, crossing his arms.
I flinched, I turned my head and looked down at the omega, "huh? Oh, sorry Angelo," I apologized, "I got caught up in thought."
"Yeah no duh…anyhow, whatcha think," he asked as he stepped back to look at his latest creation, an Aerosol painting, a form of spray painting that leaves a smooth, even coat, unlike many traditional rolled and brushed paints, it matched Mikey's vibe perfectly.
Looking at the details, I could tell that it was a painting of the Hamato symbol, with his family members around it.
Mikey sighed sadly, "What's wrong," I asked, stepping closer to him.
"N-nothing…really," he responded.
"Nothing? Mikey, what's up," I asked in a more friendly tone.
"Seriously, man, just drop it. It's nothing."
"No, that nothing is definitely something," I argued.
"Ugh, you're so annoying. In a good but persistent way. Anyways, uh, this might be a strange question but, do you ever feel…empty?"
I stepped back in shock, "Angie! W-what do you mean? Are you okay," I frantically asked, I stepped closer once again, and grabbed his shoulders.
Mikey giggled, his very cute facial features relaxed slightly, "I'm fine. It's just…for a while I felt as if I'm missing something. Something important, I don't know what though."
"Oh…" I nodded slowly, "I kinda understand. Sometimes I feel as if I'm not living up to my potential, that my destiny is, like, not at all what I think it'll be."
"Oh really? You're Spider-Man! What more do you need, you're already famous," grinned Mikey.
"Hahaha," I laughed sarcastically, "but seriously, I do understand."
"I know, but I just can't help but wonder what I'm missing. It's so frustrating," he yelled as he kicked a spray bottle further away from us.
"Have you talked to your family about this," I asked.
"And have 'em worry? Yeah, no. I'm already the baby of the family, AND the omega of the family. They worry way too much about me. If I tell them, they'll just worry more," he pouted.
"I worry," I pointed out too quickly, Mikey looked at me shocked.
He smiled an unreadable smile, "I know. But you're different."
I blushed, "Me? In what way…I'm different in many ways," I yapped, Mikey placed a delicate finger on my lip to shush me.
"You talk too much, Spidey. And when I say different, I mean that I feel comfortable around you. I feel like talking to you makes my worries melt away…I wonder if this is how my family feels when they come to me for help…"
"O-oh! I, uh, I'm sure they do! And I also feel comfortable around you," I replied, shit, I could feel my face burning.
"Good," he muttered, leaning close, and closer, until his loud ass phone rang, "EEP! It's Raph!"
"So?"
"I kinda, sorta, totally, only told Dee that I was hanging out with you," he mumbled, as he looked at his phone as if it were a disease.
"Mikey," I yelped, "you gotta pick up the phone, he's probably worried sick about 'cha!"
"I know, I know," he said as he accepted the call, "Hey, Raphie! I'm out with Miles, we're okay! We're hanging out," he immediately began but Raph's loud ass "WHAT?!" Interrupted him.
"R-Raph," started Mikey, his phone wasn't even on speaker…
"MICHELANGELO JONAS HAMATO! You snuck out?!"
"Jonas?"
Mikey blushed before turning to me, "D-don't ask…Raphie, I'm safe. We're just doing art, and stuff."
"Raphiel, brother, trust me, they are fine," Donnie said, assuring the raging Raph, barely.
"Why not tell me, Raph worries," pouted Raph as Donnie sighed.
"Hi Donnie," me and Mikey said at the same time.
"Hello," he responded.
"And to answer your question, Raph, I needed space."
"I…we give you space," stuttered Raph.
"Don't drag us into this," yelled Leo from his position on the couch.
"Raph, I promise, Mikey's okay," I assured, "we'll protect each other."
I turned to Mikey who was looking at me, he blushed and yelled: "YEP! Anyways…I'm good, everyone's good. Sooo…BYE SEE YA!"
"Wha-" started Raph, but Mikey had already hung up.
"Why did you hang up," I asked.
"I…I don't know," he sighed, playing with the tips of his mask, he swung around, "It doesn't matter, let's find Tess, I need to blow off steam."
Oh yeah, Tess. Tesla Nightingale is a 15 year old alpha we, plus Donnie, met, while swinging around NY. She had long and straight dark bluish-gray hair, her eyes a light blue.
She's spontaneous and calm. Tess is also a hero, she's known as 'Weather-Woman,' like her names suggest, she controls the weather. Cool, right?!
AND she's not the only hero we've met! 14 year old Miriam Laurier, aka Marie, is an overprotective but kind person.
She's especially overprotective of me, she acts as if we knew each other before…as if we were friends in another life-
Anyways, this sweet delta has short, up to her shoulders, dark red hair and dark blue eyes. She's tough looking but again, very kind.
Her hero name is Raptor. Why? Because she can fly, like a bird! She's so cool, and she doesn't even know it!
Don't tell April or Donnie, but she might be my new best friend! As for Mikey, he's my friend's brother who happens to be my crush…I even think Mikey likes me back!
April said to give it time, but it's been, like, a month. He already blushed around me and I'm pretty sure that earlier he tried to kiss me! I-
"Spidey? Hey, dude, we're here," stated Mikey, pointing behind him.
Oh yeah, we're already at our secret hero hideout, I didn't even know we started walking, "Oops, my bad. I zoned out."
"It's okay," smiled Mikey, "Come on, let's go, I need to stretch."
"Same, MJ," I sighed, wait…MJ? Why the fuck did I say that?!
"I..what? MJ?"
"Y-yeah. Michelangelo Jonas Hamato…MJH, MJ for short. Do you not like it-"
"N-no! It's okay! I just never got called that," he mumbled.
"So, what are your brothers' middle names?"
"Oh, uh- Raphiel Russet Hamato, Leonardo Viator Hamato, and Donatello Cecil Hamato."
"Pft, Cecil? I'm so going to bug Donnie about that," I chuckled as I knocked on the door, Mikey rolled his eyes.
"Oh, hi Ze…Miles and Mikey! Come on in," greeted Marie as she dragged the two inside, a kinda mysterious pure white cat running out of the door, "Bye Artemis," she yelled.
"Artemis," repeated Mikey.
"He's a cat who checks up on me, hah," she answered, chuckling to herself,
"Oh, is he your pet or something," I asked.
"Nope, I don't own him, but we hang out," she shrugged, "Artemis usually doesn't come to visit, but now…uh, he was probably just hungry!"
"Artemis? I don't know why but that name sounds familiar," Mikey mumbled as we walked into the mini-dojo.
Marie swung around, "W-wait, really?! I mean…he has one of those faces. Cat faces. Regular cat faces."
Mikey and I nodded slowly, "Well," he started, "we didn't come here to chat, we came here to blow off steam."
"Oh, I see. Tess, bring your lazy ass over here!"
"Fuck you, you fatass owl," she grumbled as she walked over.
"Love ya too," muttered Marie as she rolled her eyes.
"Tess," chirped Mikey as the two hugged, Mikey once explained that he always felt comfortable around her. She always reminded him of someone, he didn't know who.
"Himawari, it's great to see you," she smiled, "Oh, hey Miles."
I waved, "Hi Tess."
"How's Donnie," she asked.
I looked at Mikey, "He's good," he answered.
"That's good," she said.
"Hey, Tess, have you heard any new updates on that presupposed test?"
"Nothing. I wish I did though, I don't wanna fail," she huffed, oh yeah! We go to the same school: Tess, Marie, and I.
"That's not gonna happen! You're really smart," complemented Mikey, "all of you are."
"Thanks, Himawari," grinned a prideful Tess.
"What about you," I asked as I turned to Marie, "heard anything?"
"Sorry, but my answer is also no."
"Ha…I get it. You're all smart and you all go to school, congratulations! But can we spar now," whined Mikey, if I didn't love him so much I would've web-ed his mouth shut…
"Oh, hell yeah! Mama needs some release," yelled Tess.
Marie sighed, "Tesla, don't say it like that."
"Why? It's not my fault you have a dirty mind, Miriam," she grinned as Mikey chuckled.
"Hehehe, you're so silly, Tess!"
"Of course I am. I'm a delight," Tess replied as she and Mikey got into a stance, "Yo, you two nerds, move. We're gonna need room."
"Yes ma'am," me and Marie said in unison.
"So, anything new at home," asked Tess.
Mikey just shrugs and before Tess knew it, she was punched in the face. Cheap shot. She is able to dodge a few more punches before throwing in some of her own.
As Mikey attempts to punch Tess, she ducks the blow, slipping under Mikey's outstretched fist. She quickly threw out her own fist in a fast jab, sending it into Mikey's ribs, not too hard. This was a 'friendly' sparing after all.
Mikey grunted, doubling up, but lashed out with a right hook. He slipped backwards, barely avoiding the blow. Unfortunately, the sudden movement upset his balance, and he staggered backwards. Tess saw her opportunity, leapt after him.
Mikey was off-balance; any block he tried would be weak, so he simply dropped to the ground. Tess landed on top of him, but he was already squirming to the side. Tess tried wrapping her arms around his shoulders, but Mikey wormed his own arms under Tess, breaking the hold.
Just when she thinks she has the upperhand, Mikey headbutts her. It's hard enough to throw Tess off balance and Mikey uses this as an opportunity to kick Tess down. She laid on the ground, nose bleeding, looking up at the omega.
"Damn, well done. But, uh, you okay, Himawari," asked Tess as she got back up, brushing herself off.
Mikey blushed as they got ready for round two, "Sorry…I don't know why but I've just been feeling pent up, I guess."
"Nah, it's fine. Don't worry, I was just getting warmed up anyways," she grinned.
"Hah, she's so going down," I muttered.
"Are you sure? Tesla isn't even fighting to her full capacity," stated Marie.
"Yes but MJ is just better," I said.
"MJ?"
"It's my new nickname for Mikey."
"Aww that's cute! But, you're wrong. Tesla is going to win," she said as the two in front of us we're basically wrestling with each other.
"Uh no. You would think someone as smart as you claim to be would know that Mikey most definitely would win, maybe you watch too much tv…"
"Excuse me?!"
"Did I stutter?"
"You spoiled prissy," she yelled as she leaped back to swing a knife at me. Okay what the fuck?
As the blade swept toward me, I stepped in close to her body, so when I turned my right shoulder brushed her chest. Using the edges of my opened hands, I struck her upper and lower arm.
The combined force of my strike and her swing made Marie's arm go immediately limp. The weapon clattered to the floor.
Grabbing her arm, I twisted it until the heel of her hand pointed toward the ceiling. Then I pivoted, placing my right shoulder under her elbow. She's not fully human anyways so it shouldn't hurt.
I yanked her hand down, not for long as she kicked me in my balls, I still held her arm, somehow, with one hand as the other clasped over my balls. How rude of her! She's usually so nice.
"You're so dead," Marie teased, as Mikey looked over, causing him to get punched in the face by Tess.
"Stay focused," she teased.
"I'll show you: focused," he yelled as he lunged at her.
Spinning around to face Marie, I attempted to punch her in the nose but she moved too quickly, she kicked my kneecap, nearly shattering it. I bent down and pulled her off her feet. Marie crumpled to the ground.
I danced around her, kicking her in the ribs, "Funny, I don't feel dead."
When I leant down, Marie clutched my elbow. "You piece of shit…"
I yelped and punched her in the face. Her grip relaxed, and I pulled my arm free.
Tonight feels like it's gonna last forever. If that's a good thing, I have no idea.
