I had to chop this chapter in half because it won't fit on this itsy excuse for a page.... Chocolate Syrup Overdose Chapter 5 - Muddy Boobooheads "Rei!" Mamoru said. "Yes, Mamoru?" Rei said as she sighed and turned towards Mamoru. "Why do Barbie's hands look funny... They're bent up. Why, Rei?" Mamoru asked. "Because, Mamoru. Just because..." Rei said, turning back to stare at the rock in front of her. "Oh. Ok, Rei." They sat in silence for a minute. Mamoru had grown tired of stomping on the ants. He had placed the Ken doll beside him so that it was looking at Rei with it's arms held straight out, as if expecting a hug. "Rei?" "Yes, Mamoru?" "When will Usagi be here?" "She'll be here when she gets here." "Oh. Ok, Rei." Rei looked up at Mamoru for a second, and then shook her head and looked back at the rock. "Rei?" "What, Mamoru?" Rei sounded quite annoyed this time. "I'm bored." "OK." "Can we play a game?" "Sure," Rei said, crossing her arms and leaning her head back on the bush behind her. She stared up at the sky and looked bored. "Rei?" Rei didn't say anything, but made a slight murmuring noise that Mamoru took as a sign to keep talking. "I don't know what game to play." Rei didn't answer. "I wish Usagi was here." Rei sighed again. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Usagi was lying on her back on the bench, her feet towards the wall and her head hanging off the other side. 'I wonder what's taking everyone so long.' She sat up to look at the clock. It read 5:30. "Usagi!" someone said. Usagi turned to see Makoto walk up to her table. Makoto sat down and let out a breath. "We found him, Usagi. He was in the park..." "So where is he now? You didn't leave him there, did you?" "Rei stayed with him." "Oh. OK." "I guess we should go get them now. Mamoru wouldn't come with us, so Rei had to stay behind." "Why wouldn't he come with you?" "Well, he wanted you! He wouldn't let us take him... he insisted that you were there." Usagi smiled. "OK, let's go!" Usagi jumped up and Makoto followed her, though a bit less enthusiastically. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
