Disclaimer: I own nothing… Nothing at all… I'm so alone.. –breeze floats in room and ruffles air- Damn wind, I don't even own you!

This fic was here before, but I had to edit a few things..

Usagi looked around. She was currently sitting on her couch, puffy amiyumi playing softly in the background. "Im bored" she sighed to herself. Getting up, a thought hit her... knocking her down in the process. "I remember hearing about a thanksgiving on the food network... maybe I could have a get together with the rest of the senshi... It's been so long since we were all in they same place for more than 30 minutes. ... So it's decided! Oh... Kami! It said it was this Friday... I should get ready!" she immediately rose from her bed and rushed to her family's computer.

"What to do..? what-to-do?" the blonde repeated while searching in "thanksgiving" into the Google search engine.

Thanksgiving Recipes - All Recipes

Was the first website to pop up so she clicked it.

After an hour of browsing she came upon a recipe titled "tofu turkey"

Ingredients-

5 pounds of firm tofu
1 pound of tofu for the "drumsticks" - optional

Sauce-

1/2 cup toasted sesame oil
1/4 to 1/3 cup soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons miso
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon vegan mustard of choice

She skimmed over the directions and quickly printed it out. "Sounds yummy! Im sure the others will love it!" she exclaimed, thrusting a fist into the air. Our favorite meatball headed girl then stood. "I should go to the store."

At the local market, Usagi looked around. Orange and brown seemed to be the theme, " this is gonna be so great." she spoke to herself and got a cart. "Hm. it said I needed sesame oil? Doesn't seem to be any around here... I'm sure olive oil will do!" after substituting for half the ingredients, and had all she needed. Looking into another isle however, it became apparent that she wouldn't be leaving any time soon.

She squealed like a school girl and proceeded to grab many decorations, receiving many stares in return. By the time she'd reached the cashier her cart was full to the brim about every and anything about Thanksgiving.

After paying for her goods, Usagi quickly made her way back home. Once there, she dumped all the bags on the table. "Hah! Now to decorate! I can have a holiday right here." She exclaimed.

Three tiring hours later, the enthusiastic blonde collapsed on her couch. "I'd better start calling the others to invite them." She decided and picked up her bunny phone to call each senshi, Rei first. "All of us haven't gotten together for more than 30 minutes for forever. I have to make this perfect." Usa concluded.

"Moshi moshi. Hino and Aino residence." Usagi blinked. "Minako?" she asked cautiously. "Who… USAGI!" replied a frantic voice, while another woman could be heard asking who it was in the background then a light thud after her name had been screamed.

"Ah... yeah. Rei? You and Minako rooming together?" Usagi asked naively. Rei went into a coughing fit, but managed to choke out "Kinda... What's the news? I haven't heard from you in a while." "Sorry... this is actually about that. I wanted to know if you two along with the rest of the senshi, wanted to come to my place for an American holiday. It's called thanksgiving." Usagi asked.

There was a long pause and muffled voices could be heard through the phone. Rei picked up the phone again and replied "We'd love to Usagi." A smile could be heard in the senshi of fire's voice. Usagi squealed "Great! It's Friday at six, you can bring some food if you want too!" "Will do Usagi, see you then. Bye."

"Bye Rei, Minako."

Usagi smiled to herself. "Two down, six to go. Hm. Mamo is still in America... im sure he's having a blast with his friends. Now, I need to … ma-rin-ade… the tofu over night?...Ok..."

After carefully unwrapping the huge chunks of substitute meat, she placed it into a bowl with the sauce ingredients. She then wiped her hands and once again picked up her phone to dial Ami's home phone.

"Hello! Mizuno and Kino's place, what do you want?" a rather annoying and raspy sounding voice spoke over the phone.

"Be nice Mako!" a soft voice came from somewhere near the first woman. "Eh? Makoto? Are you and Ami roommates too?" Usagi, so innocently inquired. "Gah! Usagi.. Yeah, sure.. heh heh… What's up?" Makoto Kino asked after regaining her composure. "I'm having a get together with the rest of the senshi, wanna come? It's for Thanksgiving."

"Ames.. What's Thanksgiving?" the brunette could be heard asking her 'roommate' softly. The computer genius then took a breath, and began. "Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day (Nicknamed: Turkey Day Día del Pavo and called El Día de Acción de Gracias by Spanish-speaking Latinos in the U.S.), is an annual holiday celebrated in much of North America, generally observed as an expression of gratitude, usually to God. The most common view of its origin is that it was to give thanks to God for the bounty of the autumn harvest….."

Usagi dosed off but was awoken by Mako yelling at her "Usagi! Usagi, wake up you lazy bum!" "Ahhh! Makoto I'm awake!" The blonde replied. "Well anyway, it sounds fun so count us in.. I'll bring some side dished as well!" the cook exclaimed with joy. "You remember where I live right?" Usagi asked. "Yep, see you Friday Usagi."

"Bye!"

The blonde was growing more and more excited by the minute. She placed the bowl in the refrigerator and went to sit down. Turning on the television she began to flip through the channels.

After watching the animal planets special on bunnies, the moon princess then stood and stretched. "Haruka... I'm pretty sure all the others still live with her."

-Ri-

"Moshi Moshi, Tenoh residence. " answered a masculine voice. " Wow, that was quick Haruka." Usagi answered. "Princess? What's up?" the racer asked coolly. "Nothing much. You still live with the rest of the outers right?"

"Yeah, they're out though… but Setsuna is in her room I think.. Why?" the butch woman asked. "Want to come to my place for a Thanksgiving party?" the blonde asked.

"Ahah, I've heard of that thing.. Celebrating turkeys huh?" Usagi sweat dropped "Not exactly.." "Free food?" Haruka asked. "Yes, but it'd be nice if you guys brought something too. It's on Friday at six o clock."

"Cool. I'll tell the others. Nice talking to you odango atama." Usagi giggled and bid her goodbyes.

"All set! This is going to be so great!" The blonde girl squeaked and fell back on her couch.

End. Review?
