A: Drip Drip Drop Little April Showers

It was raining. It was a surprise shower and the clouds looked like they would be there all week. But surprise or not, it was April, so Usagi always carried her umbrella on her during the month. She let out a sigh as she was walking home, her umbrella over her head. It was a brand new umbrella and it was covered in little rabbits and cats. It was so adorable how could she not purchase it? Besides, it allowed her to have more than one person under it too.

Which seemed to be a good thing, at the moment. As she walking back to her newer home, she saw someone under an awning, clearly stuck and without their own umbrella. She checked her watch. Well, she still had time before anyone else would be home. She headed over to them and offered a smile.

"If you need, I don't mind walking you to the bus stop or to get a cab or something?" She'd even walk them home if they really needed.

Maybe this was a bad idea.

Usagi frowned as she flipped through the song-requests book. It was karaoke night at Brad's Diner and she had come to support the new idea but she had absolutely no confidence in singing. She also had absolutely no idea what half these songs were.

"Uuuugh there's so maaaany," she sighed as she kept glancing. "And half of these are duets," she mumbled. "At this rate I'm not going to be singing until it's over."


C: Drip Drip Drop When the Sky is Cloudy

Why? Why did this ALWAYS happen to her? She groaned and her shoulders visibly slumped forward as she held the umbrella over her head. She knew this was the address, she had the flowers to deliver in her arms, but the security guard was staunchly blocking her path.

"Oh come ooooon," she groaned, showing him the invoice. "It says right here, that I have a delivery for the band from the building manager! I just need to get in, drop it off, and then I'll be on my way!" she whined, growing more frustrated as this was now the third time she showed him the paper work and he had "called to the building manager" to see if they were actually going to let her in.

"I could have been gone by now! I'm not even staying to watch the band I just need to deliver these bouquets!" she stomped her foot, trying to leave before the band even arrived. "Don't you have anything better to do than stop me from delivering bought and paid for flowers!"


D: Your Pretty Music Can Brighten the Day

"EEEEEE!" the sun had made an appearance, finally! She loved rain, certainly, but she was like a sunflower, drawn to the light. Usagi was practically glowing as she spread out her arms and just spun around, letting all the warmth touch her skin as she walked through the park.

"Aaaah," she took a deep breath. The sun was warm but the grass and pavement was wet, the air still heavy but a rainbow bright in the sky. Her eyes were closed in content.

Which was perhaps her mistake as she took another slight spin... and her hand promptly smacked someone.

Her eyes snapped open.

"AAAAAH ARE YOU OKAY!?!" Goodbye good mood, hello panic.

B: What Can Compare With Your Beautiful Sound?

[psyvampexperiment]

"And leave a poor flower to wilt without blooming first??" a polite male voice may ask, as a pale figure comes up alongside her. And if she looks up, she'll find that tall, pale fellow who bought flowers from her, asking for a black rose to inspire him. "I'd be happy to join you, if you desire someone to sing with," he says, bowing to her gallantly.

[lightthedarkness]

You never realize how tall someone is until they're standing next to you. Damn her height. She wished she was taller, even Mamoru was so much taller than her. Still, as Usagi looked up, she remembered the gentleman better than he may remember her. She smiled warmly.

"Ah I don't mind at all! Are you sure though? I don't... really know a lot of songs." She offered a bow in return to his.

[psyvampexperiment]

He remembers her from the flower shop, but of course, their subsequent encounter, while it left a deep impression on him, doesn't connect to her.

He'll smile, leaning gracefully over the song request book so as to reduce a little of the height difference between them. "Try me: I do know a fair number of songs. Is there any one in particular that you know and would like to sing?"

[lightthedarkness]

"Oh ah..." she was looking through all the songs and trying very hard to find one until she smiled wide.

"Here we go! How about this one! Something fun and everyone could even join if they want!" She pointed to the number, sliding the request book over to him while keeping her finger on the number.

[psyvampexperiment]

He'll peer at it, and with a smile and a raised eyebrow, glances to her. "'Don't Go Breakin' My Heart'? That's a delightful one: I think I used to sing it with a friend in music school, back and forth across a hallway or a room, if I remember rightly."

[lightthedarkness]

"Great, one sec!" Usagi wrote down her name and his before going over to the announcer with the number for the song.

"And now, performing 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' Serena and Sariel!"

"Come on then!" she smiled as she grabbed him by the elbow and headed to the stage.

[psyvampexperiment]

He'll allow her to drag him onto the stage, no mean feat, considering his height, relative to hers, though he might let out a playfully shocked squawk in the process, his good eye dancing as she does so.

[lightthedarkness]

A microphone was shoved into both of their hands, her hands were somewhat shaking since she had never really done this before. But if she could fight monsters and save the world, she could sing in front of no more than 50 people, right? She swallowed and too a deep breath.

The music began and she looked over to him. She supposed she could start.

♬.... Don't go breaking my heart

[psyvampexperiment]

He'll take the microphone gracefully and with a nod to the server, ever the performer. He might raise an eyebrow to Usagi, but he looks pleased at the way she's bounded into it.

I couldn't if I tried he sings in response, with a playful assurance.

[lightthedarkness]

'Oh honey if I get restless...'

She glanced over to him and the way he sang, not sure what to make of it, honestly. Interesting way to be sing this song, she supposed.

[psyvampexperiment]

Baby you're not that kind... he replies, in a voice that seems to say, "Nahh, you're no heart-breaker, you're too nice," even with his head tilted in a way to fit his tone.

[lightthedarkness]

She wiggled her hips a bit, smiling and bouncing, her energy making up for a lot of things.

'Don't go breaking my heart!'

[psyvampexperiment]

If he was the sort who blushed, he'd look bright red in his pale cheeks, but since he's not, he'll simply crinkle his good eye at her, on the next line

You take the weight off me

[lightthedarkness]

Usagi didn't know why he was blushing, admittedly. She was just having fun.

'Honey when you knock on my door!'

[psyvampexperiment]

He's blushing since she's just so darn cute and vibrant, as the playful smirk will attest, as he sings:

'I gave you my key!'

[lightthedarkness]

'Nobody knows it
When I was down-' she pressed a hand to her heart as she looked at Muraki.

[psyvampexperiment]

He might restrain a gentle "Awwww", charmed at her just darn cuteness.

I was your clown
Nobody knows it He replies tilting his head at a comical angle, even leaning down toward her, in a bid, yet again, to make up the difference in their heights. He's tempted to boost her up on his arm, but, nah, not just yet.

[lightthedarkness]

'Right from the start
I gave you my heart
Oooooh-oh, I gave you my heart!

So don't go breaking my heart.'

She grinned wide as he leaned down and for all the world, they even looked like a happy couple despite only having met twice (and one he only knew about).

[psyvampexperiment]

I won't go breaking your heart he sing-replies, shaking his head, still smiling, but almost as if he really wants to make that promise, or at least that he'd like to, in different circumstances.

[lightthedarkness]

'And nobody told us,' she offered, glad to see him smile. He didn't seem to be smiling a lot when she always saw him, so this was a nice change.

[psyvampexperiment]

`Cause nobody showed us He sings with a puzzled, playful shrug, as if wondering why anyone wouldn't explain things when it comes to being sweet on another person. But, as it were, she certainly has shown him something like friendship, in this world where he's surrounded by too many people (if only he knew the half of it...)

[lightthedarkness]

'And now it's up to us babe!' she pumped a fist in the air, clearly determined that it really was up to them and more importantly, that they could do it.

[psyvampexperiment]

He looks tempted to chuckle at that fist pump as he sings, I think we can make it. And he'll give her an enthusiastic nod of confidence.

[lightthedarkness]

'So don't misunderstand me,' she pointed at him and then wagged her finger.

[psyvampexperiment]

He might mimic being chastened, but his good eye is dancing, delighted. You put the light in my life he sings, his good eye bright, as if illuminated by her light. If only he knew how much light she really has given him....
