月：welcome

Minako walked into Akihabara looking for something fun to do she was bored and didn't know what to do. She had only come to this location due to playing games.She slowly walked into the arcade seeing a racing game she quicky inserted the coins for the game.

"YES! Im almost in first place! come on Minako you can do it!"

She was a bit happy that she got some alone time but it wasn't fun being alone all the time. Her blond sun hair swayed side to side quickly as she kep moving the steering wheel in the game. When it was over she put in another coin smiling and steering once again.

Akihabara was typically not a place where Usagi hung around at too much. She normally spent her time gaming at the Crown Arcade in Juuban. Still, Akihabara truly was an otaku's wonderland, with maid cafes, cosplay shops, and arcades all lined up, some atop the others, on a backdrop of a futuristic paradise, far more futuristic than anything that Shibuya could have late at night.

She was walking around here looking for a game for Shingo. It had sold out in Juuban, but she knew that it would be here in Akihabara - that was, if the sizeable numbers of Otaku hadn't gone in and done their share of damage first.

As she surveyed through some of the shops and arcades, someone in particular had gotten her attention - Minako! That thick hair and red bow was something she knew from anywhere. And the girl playing a game? This was absolutely Minako!

"Minaa~ako-chan!" Usagi loudly greeted as she walked through the arcade. She watched as she played a racing game, and saw how good that Minako was doing. She was amazing with racing, though never better than Haruka, who did these sort of things as her hobby.

Miaka sighed as she walked around town. Her brothers birthday was coming up pretty quick, and he kept hinting that he wanted this new Sailor V video game. He was so weird, in love with a video game character, but her brother was always just weird. She just shrugged and kept looking. She got to one shop, and there was a huge crowd of people hanging around watching a girl playing. She was getting some pretty high scores, so maybe she knew what games where in and out.

Miaka started to walk over to her, and looked over as someone else called over to her. She made the mistake of stopping, and felt the girl hit her before Miaka was able to watch out. She dropped her bag and her phone fell out, just missing peoples feet. Miaka picked it up and looked at the photo of her and Taka, before looking to the girl she accidently, somehow knocked over.

Miaka got to her feet and walked over, holding her hand out to the girl. She had buns in her hair, just like Miaka! She smiled down at her."Sorry about that, are you ok? Great hair style by the way." Miaka helped her to her feet and smiled cheerfully.

A dedicated Minako played the game well, and Usagi was enamored by the sight of Minako going so well against the computer. She was excellent in these games, and it almost made Usagi jealous.

Perhaps her being sucked in by the game's spell made Usagi that much easier to getting hit by someone who ran into her. She could imagine if Rei were here already - she would berate Usagi for being the one that got run into, and apologize a little to the girl that ran into her. Rei could be so mean.

The brunette slumped down and picked up what she had dropped, and Usagi prepared to bow to her as an apology. She was ready to do so over, and over, and over again, as many times as it took for her to state that she was truly sorry. She just hoped to god that this girl wasn't at all like the woman that she and Minako had so gracefully collided into but days before.

Before she bowed down, the girl surfaced back up, and smiled at Usagi and Minako. When she commented on their almost perfectly matching hairstyles, Usagi was absolutely incredulous.

Another Odango? ANOTHER? This was Usagi's trademark style! Was she attempting to be like Sailormoon? What was she trying to do?!

The girl had to have some sort of good taste though, wearing the similar style as Usagi. Usagi inwardly made a smug grin.

"You have great taste in hairstyles!" Usagi laughed. "I've never seen anyone with a hairstyle like that yet! It looks great on you!"

Miaka smiled at this girl. She was really nice, and wasn't getting mad at her for running into her. Miaka could be very clumsy at times, and it use to get her into so much trouble in the past. She was working on it though. When Taka came back, she would be the perfect lady, just for him. Miaka had to admit, she had never seen anybody with the same hairstyle as her, ever. Well...except for the girl she ran into yesterday.

Miaka put a hand to her hair and smiled as the girl complimented her. "Thank you, my mother use to do my hair like this when I was little. My hair always got into my eyes. It's just habit now. Oh! I'm being so rude. My name is Miaka Yuuki." She bowed her head to the blonde and smiled back up at her. Miaka noticed that she had the same school uniform as this girl, and remember seeing her in math earlier that day.

Miaka looked back to the girls friend, who was playing really well.
"Your friend is pretty good, best I have seen since my brother."

"Yours too?" Usagi became even more stunned. In a city as absolutely huge as Tokyo, Usagi hadn't seen a single person other than Chibiusa that donned a hairstyle even close to hers. And the fact that her mother did the same thing to her as a kid too?

This was way past weird.

"I get called Odango-Atama for my hairstyle though," Usagi replied. "It gets annoying, but sometimes I get used to it." Usagi laughed. She didn't notice the girl's matching uniform until she finally introduced herself.

"My name is Usagi Tsukino! It's good to meet you Miaka!" It was when she looked her over and finally paid attention to her uniform. "You go to Yotsubadai too?!" Perhaps she knew the woman that was so mean to Usagi and Minako.

Miaka was watching the video game her friend was playing. Her bother didn't have that one, thats for sure. She would have to buy it for him, and steal it to play once in a while. Miaka looked back over to the girl as she spoke. Her mother did her hair in odango style as well? Wow, small world, would be even smaller if she knew the little girl...what was her name....

"The only person who has made fun of my hair, is my Taka....but he is away at university right now. I hated him making fun of it...but...now I miss it to be honest." She laughed a bit and looked over to her.
"It is nice to meet you, Usagi...Usa.....hmmm. Odd Question....do you know a Chibiusa by anychance?" She tossed around the name in her head, and remembered the little girl, noticing that she did look like Usagi. Sisters maybe? Usagi was much to young to have a 12 yr old girl.

"Hai, I go to the same school. It is my first year there. I saw you in math class, well, I saw you hair first, and made a mental note to talk to you after class. I guess it is better late then never." She laughed and smiled at Usagi.

Minako blinked at the GAME OVER Screen she wasn't happy at all and got up out of the seat. At first she didn't hear the yelling,but when she looked over it was her old friend. Usagi Tsukino was her name.. her hyperness was still there. She had missed it very much and hoped that it would last forever! As she was just about to say something another girl walked over. She had the same hair-style as Usagi! It was surprising she hadn't see anyone else with the signature hair but Chibi-Usa.

"Usagi-Chan Its so good to see you!" She was just about to hug her when she looked at the other girl. "Oh Im sorry for not introducing myself I am Minako Aino." The red words of the GAME OVER flashed into her mind just as she had heard a very familiar name. "I hope you don't mind me saying this but... Chibi-Usa..how do you know her? I don't want to sound rude..but I am curious.."

Her Voice trailed off a bit as she looked over at the screen of the game she was playing. It wasn't like her to lose,but she didn't mind the blond could always play again. Her navy blue eyes reverted back to looking at the new girl that her old friend was talking to.

Chibiusa? This girl had seen her, let along met her? Usagi thought that she was in the future - she didn't know that the girl had managed to make her way back into the present. There was no way at all that Miaka could have lied about a name like that - a rather distinctive name like that. She even said that Usagi reminded her of a little girl named Chibiusa.

Minako's question was apt, even though Usagi knew quite well that Chibiusa never met a stranger. It seemed that Miaka didn't either. That was what it was like being a very social person - they were always nice and willing to randomly talk to someone.

"I guess that you can say Chibiusa-chan and I are related!" Usagi was a bit nervous when she said it, though she was used to referring to Chibiusa as being related to her when most people asked. The two of them did have a very strong resemblance.

It also seemed that Miaka had so many parallels with Usagi's life - a man that used to always pick on her for her hair. Mamo-chan did it before they got close, and so did Seiya. Even Haruka referred to her as odango. It was something that close friends used, while it could be a rather insulting thing for her to hear coming from someone else. But this Taka...was he anything like Mamo-chan. Usagi had to know!

"Who is this Taka, though?" Usagi quickly became intrigued, her nervousness quickly washing away to reveal intrigue and a girlish curiosity. Usagi and Chibiusa were exactly the same in this regard - they loved gossip, particularly about men and romance.

Miaka bowed when Minako walked over and smiled. "I'm Miaka Yuuki, nice to meet you Minako. Yes, I met Chibiusa, buy accident. I was running in the park and tripped over her....it's good that Taka makes me carry a small first aid kit around. I made the poor kid scratch her knee up." Taka was smart that was for sure. Even when he was Tamahome, he knew how much of a klutz Miaka was.

Miaka could trip over air, so before Taka left, he made her promise to carry a cellphone and a first aid kit. She smiled when Usagi said they were realted. "She looks like you. Are you sisters? Oh..and Taka is my hus...my boyfriend." Miaka and Taka were married once, not a real marrige though. They had traded rings back when he was Tamahome, and promised themselves to each other. Soon though, they would be married. Taka made it clear, that he wanted Miaka to finish school first. Plus, he wanted to save up money for them.

Miaka almost let the big h-word slip out. He wasn't only her boyfriend, he was something far closer.

"Uh oh! You almost said husband!" Usagi grinned. "You're lucky to be able to care about someone that much though! Mamo-chan and I are going to be married soon when I get out of high school!" Usagi raised her hand, showing off her pink and white heart ring - the one that Mamoru gave to her before he went to Study Abroad. "Mamo-chan is so nice though! You have to meet him one day! In fact, you seem so nice, you have to meet some of my other friends as well!" By now, the girl was practically bubbling over with excitement over meeting someone who was just like her.

Miaka felt her face going bright red, she didn't mean to let the word 'husband' almost slip, but it just did. She smiled when she heard that Usagi was in the same spot as she was. She had never met another high school student that was to be married.
"Right after high school? That is the same with be and Taka. He wants me to get an education, and he wants to have enough money."

Other friends? Usagi seemed like a really nice girl, and so did Minako. If there were more girls like this, then Miaka would be happy to meet them. The more friends the better.
"I would love to meet your friends. I will have to introduce you to some of mine. There is Yue, shes my best friend. Oh, and Nuriko! You will just love her! I think she is coming to visit soon." Miaka was excited! She loved to meet new people, and getting Nuriko out more in this time, was something Miaka really wanted to do.

"So nice to meet you Miaka. Oh you would love are friends! Meeting your friends would be fun. Maybe one day all of us could hang out." A small smile creeped up onto her face. She was happy to meet someone and catch up with an old friend. The GAME OVER screen kept playing in her mind as she looked around. It was quiet and she needed something to get excited about. At that moment she thought of something.

"Aww its so cute how both of you are getting married...."

Her voice dropped for a moment as she said the word 'married' a long time aho Minako was in love. But when she had faked her death.... It seemed as if well from what she saw. The love she thought she had went right for her bestfriend. It was hard to take in... her heart sunk every moment she thought of it. But now things were different she wasn't Sailor V. The blond was now Sailor Venus senshi of Love and Beauty! She was proud of it the honor of hleping people all over again was fantastic! Her smile went away for a moment but it showed back up as she smiled at her friends.

----------------------------------------------------
OOC: Sorry if the post isnt right on the money.

Miaka smiled at the girls. She was happy to make new friends, she could never have enough. Her friends from her other world...well...most of them were dead...So she thought, Nuriko had somehow shown up, but that was how the world worked. Tamahome was reborn, so why couldn't everybody else from the book?

"Oh, we are not getting married just yet...we havnt even seen each other in a few months...but lets not talk about that. Anybody up for icecream?" Miaka wanted to get her mind off not seeing him. plus she wanted icecream

"Ice Cream!!!" Usagi exclaimed, beside herself with glee. The fact that she would be able to get some sweets with a brand new friend, excited her beyond all measure.

"Well, Minako-chan," Usagi leaned down to her, her odango tilting with her "why don't we just finish up here and get something sweet with Miaka-chan!" Usagi was way too friendly - she was referring to someone that she had just met as -chan. Some people would be insulted, and others would be flattered. She could only hope that Miaka was the sort to be flattered.

Though if Miaka's aim was to shut Usagi and Minako up about her hubby, she had certainly managed to work her magic by bribing Usagi with Ice Cream. What a smart girl! If Chibiusa were with Usagi, she would be just as hyper - but then she would most likely go on to interrogate Miaka over the icecream.

Chibiusa could be pretty intense sometimes.
