Thanking of you

(Mamo-chan's POV)

    Everyday I sit in the Crown Game Center waiting for a 
certain angel to
show herself.  You might know her, she has these gorgeous blue 
eyes that I
could just drown in and this hair that looks like silk, I've 
always wanted
to find out.  Did I mention her eyes?  Yes, well that's not the 
point.  The
point is that, on this particular day, I was totally bummed out. 
 Why?
Because today is Thanksgiving.  A time for family and friends 
and giving and
sharing.  Great...if you have a family or friends.  I  was too 
scared to ask
Andrew if I could eat with him because...well, honestly I guess  
was
embaressed to show that I actually cared about Thanksgiving.  
So, here I am
stuck...all by myself.  No Odango, no Andrew, no family. *sigh*  
I decided
to go walk in the park, or something to get my mind off just how 
lonely I
really was.  The park has been my favorite place since I moved 
here.
Something about this place's silence was always welcome.  Today, 
it was not.
Where were the children flying kites and playing tag?  At home 
with their
families, that's where.  Gosh, why am I obsessing like this??!!  
I was
getting ready to leave when I heard a small sob come from a 
nearby bush.
The last time I checked, bushes don't cry...
    "Ummmm...are you okay?" I asked the bush.  Silence.  "Umm, 
really, are
you alright?"
    "No." squeaked a very small voice.  A very familiar voice.  
Odango?  No
way?  Why was she here when she should be home, helping her Mom 
make
Thanksgiving dinner, or something?  Poor Odango...
    "Odango?"
    "Oh, no..it's you.  I don't want to talk to you  right now, 
Mamoru."
Ouch, that one stung.
    "Oda-Usagi..Pease let me help you.  Tell me what's wrong."  
I sat down
besides the bush, in order to hear her better.  Okay, okay, 
you're right.  I
just wanted too be closer to her.
    "Welll..."
    "Please?"
    "Okay, it's like this:  My parents are out of town and sent 
Shingo and
me to friend's houses, but Raye had some emergency overnight 
trip to go to
and she took grandpa with her and now....and noww *sob"  The 
bush began to
shake. "And now I *sob* don't have anyone to have Thanksgiving 
dinner
withhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *cryyyyyyyyyyyy*"  What do I do now?  She 
crying! *Hold
her*  What?  But-  *Do it!!*  The little voice in my head was 
talking to me
again.  I reached over and put my arms around her, letting her 
cry out her
heartache on my shoulder.  What a feeling, my angel on my 
shoulder.  To bad
she didn't love me...
    "Well, Mamoru..I guess I should go home now.  I'm really 
sorry for
bothering you."
    "Oh no, you didn't."
    "Well, bye," she said turning to leave.  How could I save 
this
moment??!!
    "Wait, Usagi!!"  I said, grabbing her by the wrist.  Her 
skin was so
soft...
    "Yes.."
    'Usagi, would you, um, could you, maybe  
eatthanksgivinfdinnerwith me?"
    'What?"
    "Well, if you don' want to, you-"
    "No,  just didn't hear what you said.  I thought you asked 
me to eat
Thanksgiving dinner with you, but that couldn't be right."
    "Will you?"
    "Really!!"
    "Sure?!"
    "Oh, thankyousomuchMamo-chan!!!"  She said, throwing her 
arms around me!
Is it getting hot in here?
    "Cool, let's go to my apartment!"  Wait, Mamo-chan?  Where 
did that come
from??!!
    After a short walk we arrived at my apartment and went into 
my room.
    "Here, you sit on the couch and I'll go find something to 
eat."
    "'K!!"  Oh, no!!  I didn't have anything except a box of 
noodles and
some turkey coldcuts.  Damn!!  My perfect chance was ruined!!  
She'd think
that I was some psycho who had invited her to his apartment for 
a box of
noodles!!!
    "Ummm, Usagi?"
    "HAI?!"
    "Umm, I don't have anything, but noodles and turkey 
cold-cuts.  I'm
really sorry, you can leave if-"
    "Oh, Mamoru!!  That's great!!"
    "Whaaa-"
    "Come on!"  For the next thirty minutes, I watched her cook 
the noodles
and warn up the turkey, presenting it to me on a plate.
    "There!!"
    "Wow, Usagi!!  I don't know what to say...."  We ate our 
noodles in
silence.  I was beginning to feel guilty about our pathetic 
meal..
    "Usagi, I really sorry-"
    "Mamo-chan.  This is the best Thanksgiving ever!!"  And then 
she leaned
over and kissed me, dead on the lips!!  Whoa...  Well, I think 
we should be,
um, excused now.  *waves*  Happy Thanksging!!!
