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.

B: What Can Compare With Your Beautiful Sound?

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.

She pressed her lips together as she gazed in the direction of Virgo Tower.

"Ah, well, then I guess we're heading to Virgo," she offered. She just had to walk him there, they wouldn't be able to put her and Sailor Moon together.

"Well, if it's important it needs to be protected."

Dino nodded. Such a good person was something he wasn't used to, all things considered. He had a few, but then he had people like Squalo in his life that negated it all.

"Thank you. I'll owe you a big favor. I'll dedicate the song to you, how's that?"

"Aww you don't need to do that!" she laughed. "Though that's so sweet! No, that's not why I'm helping out, really, just the thank you is fine. Though I'll never say no to lunch or something," she teased. "Besides, your music is important to you. So I don't want it ruined."

"Well, lunch is easier. I'm good at feeding people." He's not good at cooking, though, so please don't think of that one! "And my band probably won't go, 'oh, who's that girl?' if I take you to lunch." He's nice to his fans!

"And I'm great at eating," she laughed. "Alright, lunch it is! Your band is welcome to join if they want, the more the merrier." She honestly had no idea who Dino's band was.

"Okay, lunch! That's easy enough. Make sure you look forward to it, because I'll treat you to something really great!" He nodded enthusiastically and smiled the warmest, most wining smile anyone possibly could. The song was a gift for his band and it had to be protected, and she got that completely. What a good person.

"I'm Dino, by the way."

"Serena Lapin!" she grinned, holding out her hand since she couldn't bow while they were under her umbrella.

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Dino."

He took her hand and gave it a nice shake.

"Ah, Dino's my first name... Dino Cavallone. Hue & Cry?" Maybe she'd heard of him? Maybe? He hoped?

Sadly no, Usagi's main focus tended to be on Rei and everything involving her, but she pretended to know.

"Ah yeah! I know! It- I just figured you rather I not... you know... scream and exclaim and stuff like that!" she laughed nervously, not all that believable but she hoped he would take her nervousness for "meeting a celebrity."

He'd be crying on the inside... if he knew. But he didn't, so that was good! Instead, she came off as generous and kind-hearted, which Dino found quite excellent qualities in really anyone. He felt like he'd made a little bit of a friend today.

(He's kind of starved for attention, pardon him. Also gullible.)

"That's really thoughtful, thanks! I don't have a lot of fans, but sometimes they're a little scary, you know? The ones I do have."

"Oh I know exactly what you mean, Garnet's fans hate me," she laughed waving a dismissive hand. Let Dino make of that what he will, but if he read the tabloids, she was indeed the "victim" of the "Square-Haired Gang's" attack.

"But it's too bad you don't have more, you're so nice! Lead the way!" she gestured though she knew the way to both towers by heart.

Oh, that's... definitely interesting. Dino raises an eyebrow. Tabloids weren't his think, but word always got around.

"You're nice, too, so maybe you've got fans you don't know about." Dino winked and jerked a thumb in the direction of Virgo. Waiting a moment for her, he jostled his bag onto his shoulder properly and held it in front of himself.

"I'm hoping we'll do well in the future. Honestly, I don't deserve the good fans like the other guys do. If you listen to our stuff, you probably know how great they are."

"I find I have way more enemies than fans," she laughed, though the fact that it was so deeply true...

Well, she tried not to let it upset her.

She kept pace with him, walking surprisingly fast for someone so tiny. But then, there was a reason she could stay on Haruka's tail.

"Ah... the world tour was just announced, right? Are you excited? And I have, but I think you shouldn't be ignored."
