A Flower a Day Keeps the Bees at Play
Who: Usagi Tsukino (Serena Lapin) and customers
What: It’s Usagi’s real first day of work after all her training… wish her luck
When: All Day
Where: The flower store Usagi works at
Warnings: Just the cheerful klutz that is Usagi?
Notes: I’m more than happy to match styles!
A: Early Morning
Luna (and Mamoru) had learned long ago, that the way to get Usagi anywhere on time was to set her alarm clock an hour ahead. While Usagi knew the trick, she never bothered commenting on it because, well, it worked! She got up early, she got to things on time, and everyone was happy that she wasn’t late. Still, even if Usagi knew the trick, considering the situation she was currently in? She completely forgot to do it. After all, she liked sleeping in as much as the next person (probably more than the next person, actually)!
Which was why, running through the streets was the blonde bunny, in a bright white and blue dress, crying in dismay: "I’M LAAAAAATE! I’M LATE I’M LAAAATE!" with a bag on her shoulder and a lunch-box in hand. The rabbit was late and had no time to say hello or goodbye to those she was living with, she was late she was late she was late!
So frantic to get to work on time, she didn’t pay attention as she turned the corner...
And promptly smacked into someone, falling backwards and straight to the ground.
"OOOOOOOW!" she cringed and whimpered only a little. She rubbed her back, she paused to catch her breath, and then quickly popped right back up as if she hadn’t just fallen. She was so used to falling, honestly that it wasn’t something she couldn't handle. She didn’t have time to be upset, though, because not only was she late, and more importantly, she possibly just hurt someone!
"I’m so so so so so sorry! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" she had to go but she didn’t want to abandon the person she just ran into. She bowed deeply. "Really, I’m so sorry!"
B: Throughout the Day
Usagi let out a sigh of relief as she had made it on time. The flower shop owner, Ophelia, merely chuckled to herself and commented about how nice it was to have such an energetic girl around the shop.
The older woman was actually incredibly kind to hire her on. Usagi explained that she had just moved in with all of her cousins after an accident involving their parents. Serena Lapin was doing everything she could to support her family, five girls and one boy! Ophelia was an older woman, bent over and needing a cane to walk, and her son and his best friend worked for her as it got harder for her to work by herself, but at seeing "Serena’s" eagerness and willingness to work, her friendly and open nature, well Ophelia commented that it would be nice to have another girl around, hiring the very day Usagi applied.
And, on top of Usagi’s paycheck, she got to take home flowers that were too old to sale or were damaged in such a way that they couldn’t be given to their customers. She had already taken a few damaged roses, plucked off the ruined petals and leaves and stuck them in her hair. But Usagi was also thinking that flower bouquets would be a great way to keep the house smelling lovely and feeling warm.
Usagi, or rather Serena Lapin was ready to work! With her pastel pink apron and the name badge with a little thistle at the end of it, she could face anything. She looked up when she heard the door chime and greeted the guest with a bright smile.
"Welcome to Thistle Do Nicely: A Flower for Every Occasion! My name is Serena, how can I help you today?"

A
Turning to look at Usagi, she adjusted her hat, also tousled by the hit. She didn't seem to be a fan looking to beg for an autograph, which was fine by her.
"No problem. I've had worse."
no subject
"Are you sure you're alright miss? I should have paid more attention to where I was going!"
no subject
no subject
She then blinked and realized she had dropped her bag. She bent down and picked it up.
She hoped everything was okay! Especially her lunch!
Uwaaah, what if her lunch got ruined? Usagi had to stop herself from checking on it immediately.
"Again, I am really sorry. Is there any way I can make it up to you?"
no subject
"If you really must insist, I suppo-"
Hey! Isn't that Garnet?
GARNET!
Dude! It's got to be Garnet!
Finally! We found her!
Garnet's head whipped around as she saw a...group of a half-dozen people with square-shaped hairstyles, just like her, with keytar-themed t-shirts and clothing, and shades just like her. On the t-shirts were the either the words GARNET GROUPIES 4 EVR or HIP TO BE [image of Garnet's square-shaped hair], depending on the shirt.
One was pointing at Garnet, before turning a finger accusingly at Usagi.
HEY! Who's THAT she's with!?
She's not SQUARE ENOUGH! How dare she!?
GARNET! Garnet, WE'LL SAVE YOU!
Garnet, for her part, just grit her teeth.
"Nnngh! Really!?"
no subject
"I'M SO SORRY! I HAVE TO GO!" she bowed again and with the same incredible speed that she had had since getting up this morning in the first place. Constantly being late made fore constantly running.
She was surprisingly good at it.
The last thing Usagi wanted to deal with was angry fans. And just as quickly as she slammed INTO Garnet's life, she raced out of it.
no subject
She tried to follow, but damn if the girl wasn't insanely fast. Still, she would have gone more than five steps, if someone hadn't yanked on her hand.
The groupies had her, for now.
HEY! Why are you going after her?!
She defiled you! Oh noooo...
She's probably a fan of Virgo! You totally gotta come with us and hang out!!
Grunting, Garnet looked up to see the vanishing figure of the bun-bedecked individual. Great, she got scared away...
no subject
"Serena" with a little cartoon thistle at the end of the name tag.
When Usagi came into the shop she didn't even know the spare was missing as she got ready for work.
no subject
Garnet bent down, prompting everyone to shout are you ok!!? What's wrong!?!? as she carefully wrapped her hand around the tag and put it in her pocket.
"Loose change."
Oh, ok!! LET'S HAVE BREAKFAST!!!
This was going to be awhile.
--
After that...fun breakfast (she never wants to see another pancake stack again after what those fans did to it), she managed to convince them she needed to get back to the studio. After watching them leave the diner, she walked down a few streets, doing little more than wandering. She'd heard of a thistle-themed flower shop before, in this area...
Ah. Thistle Do Nicely. This must be the place. If her hunch about this is right...
The door chimed as she opened the door.
no subject
"OH hello again!" she offered, still not having any clue who this woman was. She gave a little bow in greeting. "What a coincidence we would see one another again!"
no subject
She brought her hand out her pocket, revealing the tag.
"I think you dropped this, Serena."
no subject
"OH WOW! That's seriously so nice of you! Thank you so much! You didn't have to do that at all! Ah I know, as a thank you, pick out your favorite flower! My treat as a thank you for this. I didn't even know I dropped it! Really, any flower, I'll take care of it! It's the least I can do since I ran into you this morning too!"
no subject
A free flower? Hmm. What in the world does she want to pick?
"I do wonder about their sanity sometimes."
no subject
She waved a dismissive hand, not wanting Garnet to get mad at her fans for her own clumsiness.
"If you like, I could help you pick a flower?"
no subject
At least the offer to help with a flower got her off a potential rant about fans. Some fans really were just rude, though.
"Sure. What do you suggest?"
no subject
no subject
She looks at the roses, at this. Red, yellow, white, blue, pink...
"Its the rebels!"
Pink--
"You! You have the power of...!"
She's a massive woman, pink ringlets everywhere.
"She felt real love for those around her. She felt real sorrow when they were hurt...I know that power is in you, too."
Her smile is as bright as the gem on her stomach, seen in the cutout of her swaying white dress.
"...we chose to fight alongside Rose, and here we made our stand against our Homeworld!"
Her general and mentor. They had fought alongside each other, as the unrecognized voice said. She loved everything and everyone, accepted Garnet for what - who - she is. And she fought for her ideals.
"No more questions. Don't ever question this."
She was gone, though. She gave her life up.
"...Rose Quartz!"
For...for...
Garnet was just standing in front of the pink roses, zoned out with a wide-eyed stare.
no subject
"Miss Gneiss? Are you alright?" she asked gently, already ready to do everything necessary if something was wrong. She knew something was wrong, Usagi just didn't know what.
no subject
"Oh!"
Garnet lets out a gasp as she feels to touch, quickly swerving to look at Usagi. Oh. Its not...for a moment...
Never mind. Her eyes narrow.
"I actually was wondering. Can I get a dozen pink roses?"
Wow, quick...recovery.
no subject
"Yes of course, I'll get that ready for you now if you would like to wait at the counter? Or you can pick out the roses?" Usagi began picking up some pink roses.
"Are you sure you're alright?"
no subject
How to explain this without making this girl worry? Or even worse, become suspicious of what happened?
"...had a moment of inspiration! That's why I've decided on the pink roses. I think they will be very helpful. Especially if they're sent to the System Crash penthouse, to Tiger Universe. This will...help me as I continue working on my band's album!"
Nod! That ought to do it!
"Oh, yes, you can pick out the roses, I trust you. You're the florist, after all, and I'm, well, not."
no subject
So when she mentioned inspiration she nodded again.
"Alright," her voice was a bit softer than before but her smile was just as gentle.
"Why don't I get you the delivery form and you can fill that out while I build the bouquet?"
