Annani mou, soba ni ite mo
Konnani mou, aisarete mo... [/color] The clear, high- pitched voice rang through the mall, the other visitors occasionally turning to look at the source. Some looked impressed, some looked annoyed. But Honoka didn't mind; as long as people were hearing her. She walked with short, perky steps, her bright smile plastered on her face. Today, she wore her hair in its usual drilltails, with a black tank top and rainbow scarf, with a short black skirt with metal chain accents. Her wrists had multicolored plastic bracelets and on her back was an adorable panda bag, in which she had several music books an her MP3 player. She had her purple headphones hanging around her neck. Honoka didn't have anything specific in mind for being at the mall, but she had been banned from her piano room, for her sister to entertain her friends. So she had come here, hoping maybe she could entertain herself... ~~~~~~~~ Notes- My first thread!!!!! So excited!!![/Center] |

With a big yummy brown, salted, soft pretzel in her hands and wide, wild bites, it was practically impossible for Usagi not to be noticed as she walked through the mall, obliviously chewing rudely, but obviously enjoying herself in spite of being alone. She wasn't sure what had brought her here... she hadn't had plans to meet the girls here, and Mamo-chan was at work. That usually lasted until late at night, and she wasn't quite sure where he was now-a-days -- it seemed like he never had time for her anymore, with work and school and finances that Usagi would never be able to wrap her brain around. Sure, they had been out and with each other at least three times a week... but it did bother the blonde that she didn't get to see her love everyday. And, it didn't help that Seiya couldn't accompany her either. Although, she had just recently discovered that the Starlights had returned to Tokyo, she had visited Seiya's apartment only to be greeted by a callous Yaten, saying that the beloved senshi had gone out for the day and wouldn't be back until late, refusing to tell Usagi exactly where the black-ponytailed starlight had disappeared to. It was all just... so unfair!
And, so, she had wandered and wandered... she had kept walking, not wanting to go home, but also not wanting to go anywhere in particular. This is where she had ended up -- at the mall -- and, thankfully, she had just enough allowance money to purchase a delicious food court junk-food delicacy.
Then, as she was idly walking, she heard a tune approaching her. A very pretty tune, a very nice singing voice. However, being Usagi, she assumed it was just the mall's music, and continued to chow down on the half-eaten pretzel in her grasp.
It was only after she had bumped into the vocalist and the pretzel flew out of her hands that the tune stopped. Her butt hit the ground in recoil, and she sat there for a few seconds with a pouting face. "Itai, itai, itai...What did I..?" She murmered. She opened her eyes and looked to see a pink-haired girl staring back at her. She blinked for a moment before understanding what happened, and then her cerrulean eyes grew wide. LE GASP. She stood up and offered the girl a hand to get up, one hand clasping over her chest in genuine concern. "Oh my gosh! I'm sorry!" she said apologetically, "Are you okay??" She really meant what she was saying... until, a moment later, of course, she realised that something was missing, and her face displayed panic. All prescence of the girl was forgotten momentarily as a new priority arose. "Oh no!" She gasped, looking around her, remembering what had been in her possession beforehand. What came out of her mouth next was totally unexpected for a stranger, yet the norm to those who knew her. It, too, was of genuine concern.
"Where did my yummy pretzel go?!"

Honoka, being so consumed by her melody, didn't even noticed that she was walking right into the other girl. If she had noticed her, she would have been in awe of her adorable hair, and maybe a tiny bit jealous of her pretzel.
But she didn't notice her until she had run smack- dab into her. She fell backwards, a "Nyaaah!!!"
[/i] escaping from her. She landed on her bottom, wincing and instantly checking the headphones around her neck to make sure try hadnt been harmed. They were her prized possession, and so she would've hated for anything to happen to them. She looked up just in time to see the other girl reaching down to her. "Oh, I'm ok!" She said, immediately breaking out into a huge smile. She reached up, but pulled back as the blonde started looking for her pretzel. "Nyah... Uh..." Honoka quickly stood and looked around, and spotted the salted pastry lying on the ground not far away. "Oh, no!"[/i] She ran over and picked it up, lookin truly regretful. "I'm so sorry, miss!"[/i] She said, sniffling a bit as though she was about to cry. But then she smiled again, blindingly. "Here!"[/i] She reached into a shakers pocket in her skirt, pulling out a fistful of bills. "This should be enough for a new one!"[/i] She held the paper bills out to the blonde girl, her smile never slipping. "I'm Honoka, by the way. Honoka Gokuden!"[/i][/center] |

Usagi stared at the girl a moment, noticing her beauty and her smile. The odangoed blonde gave a smile of her own in return, relieved that the pinkette before her hadn't been injured.
"I'm so sorry, miss!"
[/u][/color] Usagi's expression shifted from panicked to gratified, and even complete gleed, in an instant. It was only a few seconds later that it dawned on her where her beloved pretzel had been found. Her face sunk at thought and realisation of this, a frown forming where her smile had been, truly disappointed and pouting on the inside as her blue gaze focused on the pretzel regretfully, but tried her best not to be as so childish as to show it. However, her efforts -- as usual -- were futile, her face forever the open book. "It's.... okay... It was my fault." she managed as she glanced away. She didn't want the girl before her to feel bad -- it hadn't neccesarily been her fault. "Here!" "This should be enough for a new one!"[/u][/color] Usagi jumped at the sudden forwardness, her cerulean eyes widening in surprise. Her lips turned into a humble grin, her face echoing embarressment as she waved her hands in front of her like fans. "No, no! It's okay! Really!" The Rabbit tried to reassure her the best that she could, albeit nervously. "That is--! Um... I can always buy another pretzel... I wouldn't want to spend all your money..." She added with a sweat-drop. It was true, though not particularly accurate at that exact moment. "I'm Honoka, by the way. Honoka Gokuden!"[/u][/color] Usagi supplied a friendly grin, the introduction momentarily having washed up her nervousness and guilt. "Usagi... Usagi Tsukino." The blonde bowed respectfully toward the girl, remembering her manners at the most unneeded time. "It's nice to meet you!"[/center] |

JUMP. JUMP. JUMP. From roof-top to roof-top she jumped! Why? Because she was on a pogo-stick of course! IT WAS JUST SO FUN TO JUMP.
But... ooooooh.... there was no fun in doing it on her own! She needed to find others to jump with! Others that she could JUMP ON. She had finally made her way back into the city -- what a great FEAT after wandering so long and so lonely!
Her kangeroo ears and her kangeroo tail flopped when she landed on the ground! And, in front of a mall, no less! There was bound to be many people there! Kanga-pa, with her almighty pogo stick, smashed through the glass doors and into the mall entrance! In victory and excitement, she shouted, "KAAAANNNGGGAAAA-PPAAAA!"
Civilians shrieked in fright and stared in shock. Havoc began to break out at the appearance of such a monster! People began to disperse.
And, so began her game of JUMPING FUN!

Honoka bit her lip lightly as the blonde refused her offer.
"Oh! B-But... Um... she tilted her head to the side again, still extending her hand. "Maybe... We could share one?"[/red] she really did want to make up for making the adorable stranger loosing her snack. And... She really liked pretzels.
She smiled hugely and was about to say something else, but her sentence was interrupted by the sound of glass shattering. She turned to see an odd human- esk creature, one that just felt... Bad. Honoka herd a shriek escape her throat as the things presence caused utter chaos amongst everyone.
Suddenly, a familiar voice filled her ears; she heard the tiny, high pitched voice if her pet mouse, Persephone, what she had said that day a year ago, when she was attacked. "The world is a lot bigger and a lot more dangerous then you know, Honoka- Chan. It is your destiny to help protect it."[/pink]
The pinknettes hand instinctively reached into her backpack, where a red stick with a pink star on top, and a red ring around it. She pulled it out and turned to the blonde.
"Miss! Please go hide! You'll get hurt!" [/color] of course, she had no idea who she was talking to. She stood, biting her lip nervously. She had fought others like this... Thing, since her attack, but it always scared her and made her nervous. She dropped her backpack on the ground and raised her left hand above her head, holding the power stick. [color=red"Astraea Power,"[/color] she called, her harmonious voice seeming to echo throughout the mall. "Make-up!"[\color] Suddenly a bright light erupted from the the star on the lower stick, and what looked like a sheet of paper with black lines spouted from the light. Tiny dots on the paper spelled out on a song, the notes seeming to eminate from the paper, which wound itself around Honoka, then seemed to explode outward in a flurry of notes. She now how two bows in her hair, and a tiara across her forehead. A scarf and mini skirt in reds and pink and heeled shoes with sheer red ribbon that tied up to her thigh. She stood for a moment, taking a deep breath; her transformation was still new to her. Then she looked up at the thing, the creature that had caused all the chaos. "Hey!"[/color] she ran up to where it was standing, then pointed at it harshly, her face a frustratingly adorable glare. "My name is Sailor Astraea, the solider of innocence!"[/color] she placed her other hand on her hip. "And by the power of the astroid Astraea, I will... I mean, you can't... Uh..."[/color] Honokas cheeks blazed red; she forgot what to say! She clutched her hands over her chest in embarrassment, looking from side to side. "Uh... Nyah..."[/color] She shook her head; now wasn't the time to worry about lines. "I, uh, I won't let you hurt these people![/color][/center] |

"Oh! B-But... Um... she tilted her head to the side again, still extending her hand. "Maybe... We could share one?"
[/u][/color] Usagi blinked, taken aback by the new idea. That... didn't sound too bad. She gave a genuine smile, the kind offer dulling her previous manners. "Sure! That would be great!" Then, she covered her mouth after realisation hit. A sweat-drop slid down the side of her head, and she dropped her hand a few inches below her chin in case she were to mess up again. "I mean!--Uhm..." She smiled in embarressment, at another attempt at politeness, "Only if you want to." Then, the world turned to shattered gladd fragments. Usagi covered her ears at the horrible sound, only looking out of curosity at what could have done such a thing. What stood before them was no surprise to her, and she uncovered her ears. Youma.[/color] Her face played through emotions. Worry. Disappointment. Compliance. Duty. She turned to the girl standing next to her, the girl who had introduced herself as Honoka Gokuden, ready to tell her to run, to get out of here, to hide somewhere safe, and do anything to distance herself from the monster before them. But, the girl beat Usagi to it. "Miss! Please go hide! You'll get hurt!" Confusion and shock overtook her features. Wh-What? Then, her cerlulean gaze found the stick that the girl held in her hand. A henshin stick. Usagi met the girl's gaze with bewilderment and questions. Is she really...? But... that's... can it be? Then, the girl's next words and transformation confirmed it. She was a sailor senshi. And, and one Usagi had never heard of at that! The blonde stared in awe at what was happening, at the Sailor Senshi before her, Sailor Astrea, which was really the girl, Honoka-chan, that she had just met here at the mall! What a coincidence! Maybe... it was fate. [/center] |

Why was everyone running away? Didn't they wanna play?!
WAIT! Maybe they were insinuating the wonderful game of Tag! They must be 'it'! "Kangapaa!" she repeated in excitement. "I'll BOUNCE AFTER YOU!" And so she did. Her pogostick hopped, and carried her in the air a few feet, and then back down again. "AND UUUUP!" She bounced up, and then came down on her pogostick again. Only, this time, something was standing in her way.
"WHAT ARE YOU??" It was some someone with bows and skirts and pink hair. Whatever she was, she wasn't one of those normal people.
"My name is Sailor Astraea, the solider of innocence!" "And by the power of the astroid Astraea, I will... I mean, you can't... Uh..." "Uh... Nyah..." "I, uh, I won't let you hurt these people!
[/u][/color] OH! So, she was one of those soldier ladies that she'd heard about so much! But, what the soldier lady said next was hurtful. HOW RUDE AND OFFENSIVE. By the time she looked beyond the lady soldier, there was no one left to play tag with. They had all got away! And it was all because of HER. Outrage filled the youma, and she took it out on the one who had caused it. "Now look what you've done! I JUST WANT TO HAVE SOME JUMPING FUN!" Kangapaa yelled. She flew up on her plaything and then, targetting the Astrea-what's-her-face, came diving down towards her, intending to poke a hole through her body or head. She could make for a good putt-putting hole if nothing else! [/center] |
