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?"

"It's nothing. I...appreciate you not, y'know...screaming and making a lot of noise. I'm not very good with the public. Just having a normal conversation is nice."
Reaching up to her breast, she unclips the casablanca pin from her shirt and offers that over as well.
"Take this too. If...you're a fan, you should have one. Ivan made it for me, to give to someone who was nice to me."
no subject
It was still her favorite.
"Ah-" she took the pin and held it close for a moment. She looked at it and then suddenly bounced, smiling.
"One second!" she hurried over to the lilies before plucking out the casablanca lily and coming over to Rei, smiling as she held it out to her.
"Here, just for you, on the house. And it's alright," she paused, wanting to say Rei's name but instead, "Miss Hino, you should be able to go places without getting worried about fans," which Seiya had lamented about often enough that Usagi figured it applied to Rei as well. "Thank you so much for the pin, and I hope you have a wonderful day yourself."
She was holding the CD and the pin close to her chest, not wanting to let them go because they were from Rei, because they were important to Rei and things Rei made. She hoped she really liked making the music, she sounded like she did, even if the circumstance of it was so horribly wrong.
"Please feel free to come again anytime!"
no subject
"I may do just that," Rei said with a bow, holding the lily she'd been given in her hand. "Please, have a nice day, and enjoy the music. And...if you have the chance, come to the charity event. My...ah...band mother...Luce? Organized it. I think you can get tickets online still."
And with that said, she does turn and leaves the shop quietly. Once she's outside though, her resolve crumbles, falling away like so much broken glass. She bolts for her car, not running but walking briskly...and swallowing heavily. Tears start to fall as soon as she opens the door and gets inside, turning the little coup on and letting it idle a moment.
Who was that girl? what was really going on? What was that damn Rain Tree song, and why had she looked like she'd seen a ghost? Am I going crazy?
Flipping out her cell, she hesitated for a half second, fingers hovering over the speed dial for Yosuke...and then Luce...Doctor...and Ivan. But no. Not yet. She had to get back. She'd call when she was home. So, home she went, tearing out of the parking lot with a squeal of tires and completely uncertain of whether or not she'd be back.
