Moon love

[inverted_moon]

A world like any other. Just your everyday modern Juuban, with cars, shops, Crown... Just a normal, average world like the many out there. There don't seem to be enemies around, for the moment, only people goin on with their lives as normal

Well, it doesn't look like a bad place for once. Just normal and plain old Juuban... And not a one full of Usagis.

She doesn't appreciate having been thrown around again by the nexus but she's gotten used to it. She should return thought, a pretty and nice world, but she has things to do in her own... But it can't be that bad to stay for a bit, right? One has to relax a bit from time to time.

[There's a girl with a curious hairstyle in the middle of the street, she seems to be pondering something.

> Ask her if she needs help.
> Say hi.
> Be mean to her due her hairstyle.]

> ask her if she needs help

[illuminedshield]

"Are you alright? This isn't a good place to stop." The middle of the street is actually quite a not-good place to stop, considering the people wandering to and fro. But the girl paused there seems a bit lost.

> Tell Mamoru you're fine.
> Start an argument over him implying you're being absent-minded.
> Ask him for help with something.

>Tell Mamoru you'e fine

It's a perfect place to stop, actually, specially if one is pondering where to go or what to do while looking at the people wandering to and fro. Though maybe she should have moved to the side rather than just stop in the very middle of it, so he does have a point.

"Ah, yeah, I'm fine;" says Usagi with a nod. "Just trying to decide what to do;" and if it's a good decision or not. Relax a bit or go back immediately? And how to relax? Take a walk? Go to Crown? She smiles at him reassuringly but she still seems to be pondering about her dilemma.

> Ask if she was going somewhere
> Tease her for taking so long to decide something
> Scold her for remaining in the middle of the street

> Tease her for taking so long to decide something

[illuminedshield]

"If you don't decide quicker than this, I'd hate to see your test scores at school. You must run out of time."

He doesn't mean to be cruel by the teasing; it seems to be inevitable with a certain sort of girl. She just brings it out in him.

> Yell at him for teasing.
> Inform him your grades are fine.
> Admit your grades need work.

> Inform him your grades are fine

[inverted_moon]

> Ask about the scholarship

[illuminedshield]

"A scholarship? I'm impressed!" He is; the teasing is gone in favor of a more approving smile. He, too, has depended on himself for a long time and knows how difficult it is to manage keeping his academics up high enough to maintain the aid he receives.

A certain Dark Mercury can vouch for senshi business and academic life conflicting, too.

"I'll treat you to something at Crown if you can prove it." Skeptical to the last.

> Take him up on the offer.
> Refuse because he's still being mean.
> Explain the scholarship.

> Explain the scholarship

[inverted_moon]

"I don't know how I could prove it, at least not now;" she doubts they have her grade record in this world after all. "Unless you want to do me a test, right here and now;" that almost sounds as a challenge. Your scepticism, she'll beat it

> treat her to something at Crown after all

[illuminedshield]

"Let's go in anyway," Mamoru offers. He's always known the princess is quite bright when she puts her mind to it. He's just never expected to live to see her put her mind to it. He supposes he should encourage this.

> Accept!
> Refuse.
> Tell him more.

> Accept!

[inverted_moon]

"Really? Yay!" Usagi literally bounces cheerfully and steps next to him smiling at him brightly. She has always liked to be invited, it meant she was able to put a stop to her waste of money for a moment at least. In the long run it usually helped a lot even if at first it didn't seem so; "I'll invite you to something next time to pay you back!" That she likes to be invited doesn't mean she won't pay back or return the gesture.

"And I'll show you my grades whenever I can, so you can see for yourself how fine they are;" this Usagi has had to put her mind to it a lot for many reasons. Living alone was one, wanting to chase Ami was another, wanting to go to another country was the final one. She can't really remember how it is to not worry about scholarships or money.

> Ask her to tell you more about herself
> Tell her there's no need for her to invite you next time
> Tease her a bit more about how cheerful she seems at being invited

> Tell her there's no need for her to invite you next time.

[illuminedshield]

"I invited you," Mamoru reminds Usagi firmly. "I won't hear any talk of repayment." If they go out again, he'll pay then, too. It's the chivalrous thing if he's taking a girl out, even if it wouldn't quite be a date.

> Thank him.
> Insist on paying him back later.
> Run ahead into Crown.

> Thank him

[inverted_moon]

"Okay, as you wish;" she agrees easily and with a smile. In the inside thought, she's plotting about how to pay back without it being obviously a repayment. "Thank you for inviting me, then... Can I have an ice cream?"

> Agree and go into Crown
> Tease her that ice cream will make her fat
> Make sure she's not plotting to still do what she wants regarding the repayment

> Tease her that the ice cream will make her fat. (Sort of.)

[illuminedshield]

"Just be careful not to order too much," Mamoru can't help himself, really. "You'll grow right out of your school uniform."

> Storm off angrily.
> Yell at him/Inform him where he can shove his ice cream.
> Laugh it off.

> Laugh it off

[inverted_moon]

"Right, because I eat tons of it every day and do no exercise to burn it all;" she laughs cheerfully. She loves icecream and sweets, but they aren't the healthiest things neither do fill one's stomach much. Sure, one would expect a Usagi with money to keep wasting it on sweets, but... A week bedridden because stomach ache for having eat too many sweets and being at the edge of losing her scholarship and thus become unable to study in the same school as Ami made this Usagi watch out for what she eats.

"I'm sure you're more worried about me burning your wallet by ordering a lot of it than of me getting fat;" she sticks out her tongue at him playfully as she heads to Crown, laughing again.

> Keep teasing
> Scold her for insinuating that you don't want to invite her too much
> Be amused by her good mood.

> Be amused by her good mood

[illuminedshield]

"It's good to see you like this," Mamoru comments as they head inside. Once they're there, he asks for a booth - he thinks he remembers she always preferred booths - and waits a moment for a server to show them the way.

> Ask for a table instead.
> Decide what you want to order before you even sit down.
> Notice a friend to go say hello to.

> Decide what you want to order before you even sit down

[inverted_moon]

"Is it?" Usagi just smiles. It does feel good, the teasing the casual conversation... It almost feels like being a normal girl, like she was once. Why wasn't she so happy by those small things back then? Why did she have to fake it? She can't remember how it started, but she doesn't want it to happen again, so she just lets herself go with this simple happiness.

As they go to the booth she's already thinking about what icecream she will order; "Can I have a banana split?" She asks him as if looking for approbation.

> Complain for her being so impatient
> Tease her for being impatient
> Think what you want to order too

> Tease her for being impatient.

[illuminedshield]

"Hey, slow down," Mamoru protests, but he's still smiling. "I haven't even looked at the menu yet. But if that's what you want, go ahead and order it."

> Slow down and wait for your orders to be taken.
> Pout at having to wait.
> Get embarrassed and try to be patient.
