Mai stood back and watched the two. “Hello again.” She smiled slightly. “I’ve come to buy more flowers actually. I had a little accident and lost one of the bouquets that my friend bought for me earlier.” She sighed and got out her wallet to see how much money she did have and if she could actually afford to get another bouquet.

After counting her money she started to look around. As she walked she made sure to put as little weight as possible on left leg. Her entire leg was hurting, but she ignored it for the most part. “Anzu, we could stay for a little while if you’d like. I’m in no big hurry to get to the graveyard.”

"That would be wonderful! Please stay you two! We could have lunch!" Masami said happily.

"Don't worry, I'll pay for the bouquet," Anzu told Mai. Then she turned to Masami. "Lunch sounds good, but I just ate breakfast a while ago. I probably won't eat too much," she said.

"Good thing too. You usually eat everything in sight!" Masami joked.

"Wha- Masami, that's not nice! I do not eat everything!" Anzu protested.

"You're in denial Anzu! Maybe there's a Food addicts anonymous somewhere," Masami joked, then she pretended to be serious. "The first step is admitting you have a problem."

"I do not have a problem Masami," Anzu told her.

"Suuuure you don't. It's OBVIOUS you're in denial!" Masami teased. "Never mind, how about we go to the back room? I just got finished making spagetti because a few friends were coming over... Sadly, they bailed on me."

"Awww... Shame on them!" Anzu said, hugging her best friend. "It's too bad, your spagetti is the best!"

“You don’t have to do that Anzu.” Mai protested. She looked down somewhat starting to wish Duncan was here. “Thank you for the offer Masami. I’m actually a little hungry since I had breakfast early this morning.” Being here was a little uncomfortable since she barely knew Anzu and didn’t know Masami at all. Over hearing the two’s conversations she giggled a little.

"it's the least I can do for a friend of Duncan's," Anzu replied.

Masami smiled. "Ok, then it's settled! We'll all sit down and get to know each other better over piping hot plates of spagetti!" Masamisaid cheerfully.

"Sounds like a great idea! What do you think Mai?" Anzu asked. She wanted to be friends with Mai, she seemed so nice...

ooc: Sorry this is late, I'm drowning in Rp's again O3O

“Ok fine Anzu. That sounds nice Masami.” Mai smiled at them. She walked carefully over to them. “I’ll worry about picking out the flowers after we’ve ate. So shall we?”

Duncan continued to fly around looking in the normal spots again. He even landed and walked to Mai’s place thinking maybe she had went home. When no one answered he let himself in and looked around. Mai’s cats and dogs greeted him. “I guess she isn’t here huh. I really screwed up this time.” Sighing he went to the kitchen and got a snack. “Shhh, don’t tell her I was here when she gets back.” He winked at the pets.


(ooc: It's ok. I'm multitasking anyway.)

ooc: I wish I could multitask, but I'm on my wii. TT^TT

and LOL!!!

Anzu grinned, along with Masami. "Ok then, let's go into the back room and eat! I'm starving!" Masami exclaimed, flipping up a small section of the counter and pushing the door back so they could come in the back room.

"All right! I can't wait to eat some spagetti! Masami's excellent at spagetti, I'm sure you'll love it Mai. There's only one person that hated her spagetti.... then again, she hated Masami, so she culd've been lying," Anzu explained.

"Are you two coming? Or do I have to eat spagetti all by myself?" Masami asked.

"Yeah, we're coming!" Anzu said cheerfully, taking Mai's hand and leading her to the back room. It was fairly big, with a table, some chairs, and a kitchen, along with a sectional couch in the corner with a TV.

Mai followed Anzu. “Ok I’m coming. Plus spaghetti sounds good.” After getting into the back room she pulled away from Anzu and took a seat at the table. It felt good to sit down. “Bring on the spaghetti,” she laughed.

While sitting there she made sure that they didn’t notice what she was doing. Quietly she took a deep breath and held her left hand just slightly over her left knee. Normally she didn’t do this, but she wanted her leg to feel better so she decided to heal it as much as she could. It was impossible for her to heal one of her own injuries entirely.

She wondered how far getting to know these two would go. People usually didn’t take it well when they found out she had abilities that most people don’t. They call her evil or a witch because of them.


Duncan relaxed on the couch and turned on the TV. Luca, Mai’s black lab, climbed up onto the couch beside him and laid his head in his lap. “Good boy. So do you think I should just wait here for a little while? Or should I go out and search again for Mai?” Jack, Mai’s other lab, barked and shook his head at the last question. Duncan laughed. “Ok I get it. You want me to stay and give you attention. I can’t stay for too long though.”

(ooc: Poor Duncan he’s so lonely that he’s talking to animals.)

ooc: I'll gladly make sure Duncan isn't lonely!! *runs over to Duncan* Hi! :)
Anzu: .....WAIT FOR ME!!!! D:

Masami grinned, then started to heat up Mai's spagetti. "So, how should we get to know each other? 20 questions? Truth or Dare? Maybe-"

Anzu cut her off. "Masa-chan, calm down. You're getting too hyper again," she warned.

"....Fineeeee, you party pooper," Masami pouted, sitting down.
((LOL!!!))
Anzu smiled, patting her friend's shoulder. "There, there. You should run around the park after you'redone working," Anzu suggested.

Masmai nodded. "Good idea! Thanks Zuzu!" Masami said cheerfully.

Anzu blushed. 'Zuzu' was Masami's nickname for her, and ever since the Zhu Zhu... things had come out, people would sing the "Zhu-zhu pet" jingle just to get on Anzu's nerves. Anzu said a silent prayer hoping that Mai wouldn't do the same.

(ooc: *snugs Duncan* Sorry girls. He’s mine!
Duncan: What the hell? I don’t belong to anyone. Besides who said I was lonely?)

“Actually I like the idea of twenty questions.” Mai grinned. She managed not to laugh when Masami called Anzu “Zu Zu”. “I don’t mind. I’ve been told that I’m scary when I’m hyper. Hyper doesn’t scare me though.” She giggled. “So let’s play twenty questions. We’ll ask questions one at a time and go in a circle. How does that sound?”


Duncan lazily watched TV with the dogs. Getting a little too comfortable he fell asleep.

ooc: Me and Anzu: Aw man!
Anzu: *pouts* Dang.
Me: It's ok ZU ZU!!!! *starts singing the "ZhuZhu pets" jingle*
Anzu: That's not funny! Stop it! TT^TT
Me: *doesn't stop*
Anzu: *cries, runs to Duncan and hugs him* Duncan, please make her stop! She's being mean! TT^TT
Me: O.o Anzu, that's not a good idea..... OH WELL!! *starts singing again* XD

Anzu grinned. Even she didn't know everything about Masami. "All right, sounds like a good idea!" she said cheerfully. "Who wants to start?"

Masami raised her hand. "ME!!!" she said happily.

Anzu blinked. "Ah... Ok, then."

Masami laughed. "Don't make me sing the jingle!"

Anzu. "That was a bit random... But if you do that, I'll tickle you with feathers until you beg for mercy."

"Wh-What!?!? Zu Zu, you KNOW I'm extremely ticklish!!!" Masami wailed.

"Then don't sing the stupid jingle, because Zhu Zhu pets have caused me enough grief as it is."

Masami smirked. "I know. Remember, I'm the one that invented that nickname. Ok, then, enough with that, let's start! All right Mai..... Do you have any pets?" she asked. Masami was an animal lover as well as a flower lover. (XD)

ooc: I'm gonna get off soon, I'm tired! ><

“Yes I have pets.” Mai wondered about the jingle thing, but wasn’t about to ask. “So Anzu how long have you been an angel?” As she asked the questions she grinned slightly. She was starting to feel a little light headed from trying to heal her knee. Damn it, this isn’t working. Oh well I knew it wouldn’t work to start with.

Anzu grinned. "I've been an angel for 580 years. Sometimes I really feel like an old lady."

Masami's jaw dropped. "Y-You said you were 100!!" she squeaked.

Anzu blushed. "Well, I had a feeling you would act like this so I told you I was 100," she explained.

"Ohhh... Well, that was a smart move on your part Zu Zu!" she said cheerfully. "All right, it's your turn Anzu!"

Anzu grinned. "Ok! Masami, I've been dying to know: Do you dye your hair?"

Masami grinned. Her hair was a soft pink. "Yes. Yes I do. Only because I have dishwater blonde hair!" she said, laughing a little. "It's horrible! I'm probably going to dye it brown though. This is way too bright!"

Anzu nodded. "I agree."

Masami nodded. "Ok Mai, I must know what your favorite flower is!" she said cheerfully.

Anzu grinned. "I had a feeling you would ask that."

Mai’s eyes widened slightly. “That’s a long time.” She laughed at Masami. “I’d have to agree, but I’m kind of bias since I don’t care much for pink.” When Masami asked her question she fell silent. No one had ever asked her that question. She sat there thinking. Sure roses were nice and so were lilies. She really liked orchids and iris too. “Hmm…I guess I would have to go with the Black Baccara rose since blue roses don’t exist other then in literature.”

Masami nodded. "Blue roses are very pretty," she said, smiling a little. "Now it's Zu Zu's turn! Go ahead grandma!"

Anzu twitched a little. "G-G-Grandma?" she squeaked, clearly uncomfortable.

"Ooops. Sorry it just came out."

"It's Ok. But please never call me a grandma. Ever," Anzu told Masami. She cleared her throat. "Ok, I have to ask Masami: Why did you choose bright pink for your hair?"

"Well, I was going to make my hair sea grenn, like Sailor Neptune, but they didn't have that color. So I went with pink!"

Anzu sweatdropped. "I should've know the Sailor Moon fangirl in you had something to do with it," she said.

"Masami laughed. "But Anzuuuuuu! Sailor Moon is awesome!"

"We can argue about this after our game. It's your turn fangirl," she teased.

Masami stuck her tounge out at Anzu before asking, "Mai, do you have any favorite shows?"

“I don’t watch much TV, but I do watch a lot of anime. If I had to pick a TV show I guess it would be Ghost Hunters.” Mai gave them a weak smile. “Anyway, I get to ask two questions since I didn’t ask Anzu one last time. First one is ‘What is your favorite color?’ and the second one is “Who’s your favorite sailor scout?”

Anzu grinned. "My favorite color is lilac, and my favorite Sailor Scout would have to be... either Sailor Moon or Sailor Saturn. I once went to an anime convention as Sailor Moon. Everyone freaked out and swarmed me. It was hilarious! But then I freaked out and had to switch to my Sailor Saturn costume. Some people thought I bought the costumes, but to be honest, I have a lot of free time on my hands."

"Oooh, remember that one time when Yasuo lost a bet and he had to dress up as Tuxedo Mask?" Masami asked, grinning.\

"I do! He was repeatedly mobbed by fangirls!" Anzu said, and both of them laughed. "Those poor fangirls looked like they wanted to murder me when I kissed him."

"Poor fangirls my butt! They need to learn to keep their paws off your man! Even if he did have a killer Tuxedo Mask costume," Masami commented.

Anzu couldn't keep herself from coughing, "Crazy fangirl!"

"I heard that ODANGO ATAMA."

"...Hush you. Silence your inner fangirl before I silence it for you. You might scare Mai."

"......Meanie," Masami said, pretendng to cry. "OOH!!! Maybe we should all go to the next convention and trick that cute guy that came in with Mai to be Tuxedo Mask!" Masami joked.

"....You're kidding right? Duncan is the kind of guy that would rather jump off a cliff than cosplay.... Or at least, I think so," Anzu said.

"But it would be awesome! Either you or Mai could be Sailor Moon, I could be Sailor Pluto, Duncan could be Tuxedo Mask, and if you're not Sailor Moon, Anzu I KNOW you'll be Saturn."

"True. But there's the matter of getting Duncan to cosplay.... As I said before, he would probably jump off a cliff before he cosplayed.... Oh nevermind, we have to get back to te game! Ok, Mai, who's your favorite Sailor Scout?"

"Don't worry, we will love you reguardless, but-"

"Masami. I know you don't like Mars, but this is a free country," Anzu warned. "She doesn't like Rei because she was dating her CRUSH in the first season."

"But if he ditched the jacket, Mamoru is a HUNK!" Masami said, giggiling as she stared off into space and drooled a little. "Eeeep... Mamoruuuuu..."

"Did I mention she's a Mamoru fangirl?" Anzu asked Mai.

"Oh hush, you know you love him."

"Yes, but you are not a true fangirl of Mamoru because YOU don't like Tuxedo Mask!"

"What? Capes are for little boys, not hunky anime superheroes."

"........Just be quiet and let Mai answer. You can obsess later."

ooc: LOL!

Mai almost fell out of her chair laughing at Anzu and Masami. “We might be able to con or blackmail Duncan into cosplaying Tuxedo Mask, but that would be the only way he’d do it. Knowing him he’d prefer to cosplay someone else and from an anime he actually likes. I could see him going as Kenshin Himura from Ruroni Kenshi, Dark from D.N. Angel, Allen Walker from D. Gray-man, Alucard from Hellsing, Chrono from Chrono Crusade or Able Nightroad from Trinity Blood.” As she gives the list she starts daydreaming about Duncan cosplaying her her at a con. Sighs thinking about it.

Snaps out of her daydream after a few moments. “Oh umm…my favorite sailor scout would have to be Saturn hands down. Masami what is your favorite anime?”

"Ooooh, Anzu, we'll need your brains to do that," Masami joked.

"Ohhh, it would be priceless if it worked! I'll think of something!" Anzu said, grinning. Then she nearly fainted when Mai mentioned Ruroni Kenshi. "Ohhhh I love Himura! He's awesome! I have almost all of the manga...." Her eyes sparkled when she thought about it. Her main "occupation" was a Tuxedo Mask fangirl, but deep down Anzu was also a Himura fangirl.

Masami grinned. "Sailor Moon, and Inuyasha. I can't help myself! Those dog ears are so cuuuute!" Masami said gleefully.

"Alright then, let me ask you this, Masami. In your opinion, who's cuter, Mamoru or Inuyasha?"

"Unfortunately, the fact that Mamoru runs around in a cape and a tuxedo makes Inuyasha the winner. Now, if Mamoru ditched the cape and that hideous green jacket, he would easily surpass Inuyasha."

Anzu looked about ready to cry. "Diss Tuxedo Mask one more time and I'll have to make you cosplay as Sailor Luna."

"But Luna's mean!" Masami protested.

"Exactly. Plus you would be in a poorly made Sailor Luna costume. Oh, and cardboard cat ears."

"C-C-Cardboard?!?!" Masami wailed. "Nooooo!!!! ....Ok fine I won't diss your anime boyfriend," Masami said, pouting a little.

"Thank you. Because Tuxedo Mask is awesome- and HOT- and he does not deserve to be bashed," Anzu said.

"Uh-oh, your fangirl is showing," Masami teased.

"Hey! Not funny!"

"Then PLEASE stow away your inner Tuxedo Mask fangirl. You're driving me nuts!" Masami told her. "Ok, Mai, who do you think would win in a fight, Inuyasha, or Himura Kenshin?"

Mai just shook her head. She had never been a big fan of Tuxedo Mask. “Luna wouldn’t be so bad. I think it would be eviler to threaten to make her be one of the sailor stars.” The smirk on her face looked twisted. “I’d have to go with Kenshin. I love Inu Yasha, but I don’t think he’d stand a chase against Kenshin in a battle. I think a more interesting battle would be between Sesshomaru and Kenshin. That would be epic. Ok so Anzu if you could do one thing what would it be?”

Anzu nodded. "That would be an epic battle." Then she almost fell out of her chair when she suggested dressing Duncan up as a starlight. "Oh my gosh that would be hilarious!!" she said, trying to hold back tears. She blushed at Mai's question. "Uhhhh.... I would bring my boyfriend Yasuo back because I miss him," she said. That, or kiss Duncan- Wait, WHAT!?!?!?

Masami grinned. "Are you sure you don't want to kiss Duncan?" she teased.

"Wh-What!? Masami, you're nuts! He-ummmmm-well..." Anzu was clearly flustered, and she put her head down on the table. "I DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON DUNCAN," she said, but her voice was uncertain.

"You only put your head down so I wouldn't see you bite your lip!" Masami said, "No fair!"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"You bite your lip when you lie Zu Zu, and you know it!": Masami told her.

"I do not!"

"Do too! Well, nevermind it's your turn to ask."

Anzu nodded. "Ok," she said, raising her head. "Masami, why do you call yourself a Mamoru fangirl when you hate Tuxedo Mask, and the jacket?"

"Because all fangirls that I know of, along with myself, want to burn that hideous jacket. Plus, Mamoru is hot. And he wears a cape. Capes aren't cool."

Anzu looked ready to strangle Masami. "DON'T DISS THE CAPE," she growled.

"I can diss the cape if I want to. Ok, changing the subject. Mai, which scout do you think is most like Duncan?"

".....Masami, most of the scouts are girls," Anzu pointed out.

"True, but all of them have diffrent personalities. For instance, you are a mix of Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter. You are a crybaby, a klutz, but you are also sweet and kind to everyone."

"Ok, but why Jupiter?"

"Because sometimes you can be a tad violent."

"Well whaddya expect?! I fought in wars between angels and demons!"

"True. That might be why you're so violent Zu Zu."

ooc: Going to clean my pool so I can swim. Be back later!

“Anzu you heard me wrong. I suggested that for Masami since you were threatening to make her Sailor Luna.” Mai had a time keeping a straight face at what Anzu said.

“If I had to choose one I think that he would be a mix of Uranus and Neptune. He’s stubborn and bull headed at times. He’s also strong and brave, but he can be caring and nice too. He’s also smart.” She was blushing slightly as she talked about Duncan.

“Anzu which sailor scout do you think Masami is most like?”

(ooc: ok)

Anzu blinked. "Oops."

Masami sweatdropped. "Oh Zu Zu," she said. "Wait- You are NOT making me into a Starlight! BRAS ARE UNDERWEAR NOT OUTERWEAR! Plus they're gender switchers!"

"Wait- we could get Duncan to be Tuxedo Mask by threatening him to cosplay as a Starlight!" Anzu exclaimed.

"Good idea! But seriously, answer the question!"

"Obviously she's like Mini Moon. She's a pain, but you got to love her. And sometimes she likes to pull pranks or pop out of nowhere just to scare people."

"Yes, but I do not randomly fall out of the sky OR fall in love with mythical horses."

"We all know that. That only happens in anime."

"And I'm not evil"

"Ok, you can stop now. Now, Masami. if you hate Mamoru's jacket so much, how would you dispose of it?"

"Put it through a woodchipper then use a flamethrower until it was nothing but ash," Masami replied.

"Wow, that's a fitting way to get rid of the jacket."

Msami grinned and she nodded. "Thanks. Ok, Mai, if you could kiss any anime guy, who would it be?"

“I’m not sure that will work Anzu. Duncan is really stubborn and mean. Plus if you did that he might find a way to get you back.” Mai giggled.

“Oh gosh. So many hawt bishies to choose from.” Takes a while to think. “This is a hard one. Umm…I think I’ll go with Dark from D.N. Angel. Masaki what anime guy would you want to kiss?”

"I don't care! I've known a lot of stubbron and mean guys! Duncan will cosplay or he shall face the wrath of Sailor Anzu," Anzu joked.

Masami couldn't help but laugh when she said Sailor Anzu. "Oh Anzu...." Then she turned to Mai. "I agree, there are too many hot bishies to choose from! It's not fair! But I would definitely have to kiss Mamoru. Or Sesshomaru. Because Sesshomaru doesn't have a girlfriend that could shoot me with her Sacred Arrow. Then again, if I kissed Mamoru, sooner of later I would have to face the wrath of Sailor Moon," Masami said. "Ah well, a small price to pay for kissing the hottest bishie ever."

"Amen to that," Anzu said. "But are you sure you want to kiss him?"

"Look, I want to kiss him even though he wears that horrible jacket and runs around in a cape. He is still hot, so yeah, I wanna kiss Mamoru-san!" Masami said, giggling a little.

Anzu grinned. "Oh fine. My turn! Mai, which anime character do you hate the most?"

“It’s said I forgot the name of the annoy girl in that one anime that I hated….actually I didn’t like the anime at all. So I’m going to go with Chi Chi from Dragonball Z.” Mai replied. “What anime character do you hate the most Anzu?”


Duncan was still out cold on the couch with the dogs and cats. It was such a cute sight.
