AN: So this is a very short chapter but i hope you enjoy :) And for those who may think of suing me because I'm using SM characters, tough. I already admit I do not own Sailor Moon or anything about Sailor Moon. The only thing I own are the DVD's I bought. Oh and I'm Aussie, so it will be in Aussie spelling.
It was just another day at work, pinball machines pinging, race car games revving. School kids were laughing and running around. Baka and Odango were fighting... Motoki sighed as he watched two of his favourite people getting into a heated 'discussion' about who was better at playing pool. Motoki had recently put a pool table in the arcade. He thought it would attract more customers and it would mean he got to practice his skills at the game.
"I bet you can't even hold the cue stick properly!" Teased Mamoru who was sitting in his usual stool at the counter.
"I can so! And for your information, I won against Toki-Chan yesterday!" Yelled Usagi, the long-haired blonde who was standing next to him.
"It's Toki-Chan; he would have let you won, Odango. You know he's too nice to you. And He's one of the best players out there. I can't even beat him." Replied Mamoru smugly. He took a sip of his black coffee.
"I won fair and square! I even beat Rei-Chan and Ami-Chan as well yesterday!" Usagi pouted.
"I'll believe it when I see it." Chuckled Mamoru as he stood up. He straightened his green jacket out.
"Well how about I challenge you to a game? If you win, I will stand here and tell everyone that you are the best and I will pay for your coffee for a month. If I win, you have to do the same but milkshakes instead." Usagi challenged him.
Mamoru raised his eyebrow. 'Free coffee for a month and Usagi admitting defeat in front of everyone. I could get used to that.' He thought. "Alright then Odango. You're on. How bout tomorrow then since it's a Saturday, there will be more people here for you to admit that I'm better than you."
"In your dreams! But tomorrow it is then!" Usagi then stormed off home.
Motoki looked at Mamoru slightly worried. Mamoru laughed as he leaned over the bar then turned to Motoki. "What she doesn't know was I got taught by you, and you are one of the best. I mean, you did get 5th place in the state championship."
"Um, Mamoru?" Motoki said trying to find the right words. He knew what he was about to say was going to shock Mamoru.
"Yes Motoki?" Mamoru asked casually without a care in the world. He took another sip of his cooling coffee.
"Usa-Chan is well, that is...well she was the one who taught me how to play. And she came 3rd in that championship. "Motoki replied quickly whilst backing away from Mamoru's reach. Mamoru sat there taking in what Motoki had just said. He just realized he was going to be in big trouble if what he said was true.
"I watched you play though, and I never saw Odango. How did she win?" Mamoru asked trying to remember that day. He was also curious now as to how an uncoordinated girl like her be a champion at anything.
"Well, you only saw me play until semi-finals remember and then you had classes. And you didn't bother watching other players because you thought I would be able to beat them. Usa-Chan was actually the person I lost to. She did go easy on me though. She missed a few shots on purpose so that Reika would still be impressed by me. I owe her that because afterwards Reika thought I was so good and said yes to going on a date with me." Motoki replied reminiscing that game. He then looked at Mamoru who seemed a bit white in the face. "Everyone will understand if you back out. The only time she has ever lost besides the championships would be when her dad or her brother plays. Sometime I occasionally would beat her but that's a very very rare a one in eighty chance."
"How did I not know this about her and what do you mean EVERYONE?" Asked Mamoru who still looked confused.
"Well, you live under a rock and Usa-Chan is known to be one of the best players out there."
AN: So how do you like so far? I like playing pool. My husband actually is very good at it and we would play after school back when we were in high-school. For those who don't know what pool is, its like billiards.
