Hi y�all. Me no own Sailor Moon. On 2 da show. (im tired waddaya xpect?) Part 3 of Scouts Honor Usagi clambered up the tall tree next to her window, once more grateful for it�s presence. Silently opening her window, she crept into bed. Groaning, she remembered she had to change into her pajama�s. Bones creaking, she stood up and changed quickly. Finishing, she fell into bed and was out like a light. Luna looked in affectionately at her charge. The other girls had told her what happened, over Usagi�s communicator, and Luna was proud of what she did to save Ami. Glancing at the clock, Luna sighed. Usagi would only have a little over an hour more of sleep. The alarm went off, not effecting the slumbering blond. Luna, however, woke with a start and looked at the time. Her eyes boggled�it must have been reset because Usagi would never set it to a half an hour early. Still, Usagi might as well get up since she would be tired and extra slow today. Jumping up, Luna pawed at Usagi�s face, determined to wake her up. Wake her up she did, although it took her nearly fifteen minutes. Yawning and moaning about the unfairness of life, Usagi grumbled her way out of bed. Rubbing her eyes, she went through her morning routine, albeit slower. Dragging herself down to get breakfast, Ikuko(Mrs. Tsukino) fairly stared�was this her daughter, the one who always whizzed through the kitchen like a tornado? After breakfast Usagi walked to school. Although she felt dead on her feet, she did appreciate going slower. *I should think about getting up early more often! Maybe today will be a good day.* "Hey Odango Atama! Thought you�d still be snoring at this hour." Mamoru called out. *I thought too soon.* She told herself remorsly. Pulling herself together, she found that she could summon up barely any anger towards the cute college baka. *Why can�t he just leave me alllooooooonnnne!* She wailed to herself. Not realizing the inner feud of Usagi, Mamoru fairly stared. "Ummmm�odango, I�m right here. Odango." Puzzled, Mamoru waved a hand in front of Usagi�s face. Snapping out of it, she jumped right into routine. "WHAT are you doing Mamoru-baka? Can�t you just mind your own business! I mean, isn�t it enough that you get straight A�s, and I�m not! It�s not my fault that I�m clumsy and bad in school and NOW I�m LATE for school�" Confused, Mamoru watched her dash of to school. Usagi slid into her seat just as the bell rang. Glancing at Makoto, she was relived to see her waving a thumbs up. *At least Ami is ok.* Trying to stay awake while the teacher droned on, Usagi paid attention�or at least she attempted to. Finally the last bell of the day rang without a detention for the girl. With a sigh of relief, Usagi joined her friends and started off towards the arcade. "So Ami�s ok?" Minako questioned, since she had different classes than the brunette. "Yep! Ms. Mizuno said that she ought to be up soon. Wanna come visit after the Arcade?" A round of �yes�s� led to the unanimous agreement. Trudging to the arcade they sat in their customary booth near the window. Resting her head on her arms, Usagi dozed off. Exchanging glances, the girls held a whispered conversation. "We really should let her sleep." "She hardly gets any sleep at home, with homework, Senshi business Ikuko, Kenji and Luna." "She could just stay here with Motoki to watch her." Nods all around, the girls tiptoed to the counter, explaining an edited version of the problem to Motoki in hushed voices. Immediately agreeing, Motoki glanced at Usagi. *The poor thing.* Several hours later, the arcade was ready to be closed, except�"Usagi wake up!" Exasperated, Motoki played his last card. "I hate to do this, but�Mamoru!" The college student stuck his head in from the staff room. "What?" Gesturing towards the sleeping beauty, "�Could you�?" Finally catching Motoki�s meaning, Mamoru snuck up to Usagi, then, next to her ear, he yelled "Odango Atama wake up!" Jerking awake, the "Odango" in question looked wildly around. "Where did everyone go?" She asked in confusion. "You fell asleep. They left." Mamoru shrugged. *Not my problem* Looking out at the darkened street, Usagi bit her lip. "How will I get home?" "Mamoru will drive you." Motoki answered cheerfully. "I will? No I won�t!" Mamoru caught his friends glance *uuuggg. He�s trying to set me up, AGAIN.* Motoki had been trying to get Mamoru with a girl for as long as he could remember. And failed miserably every time. First there had been an over-exuberant girl with buck teeth and large hair. Then there had been a girl with a quiet demeanor, slicked back hair and an attitude. The latest one had been a blonde who hitched onto his arm and wouldn�t let him leave her sight! Stilllll�Usagi looked tired, sad, and cute, like always. *Fine* Mamoru thought grumpily. *you know you�re doing this just to see her more!* His inner demon promptly told him. Ignoring the devil child, Mamoru looked down at Usagi. "Lets go." |
