"Here you go Mamoru!" chirped Usagi, thrusting a brightly wrapped package into his hands and taking her seat beside him at the counter in the Crown Arcade. "Go ahead and open it. I can't wait to see your face!"

"What is it Usagi?" Mamoru asked, eyeing the lumpy looking package suspiciously. He shook it a bit hoping to get a clue as to what it was.

"It's a surprise just for you! I made it myself! Go ahead and open it Mamoru!" Usagi was practically vibrating she was so full of excitement.

Mamoru gingerly pulled on the bow and tore open the wrapping paper. What he saw was a container of fudge candies. He mentally cringed at the thought of eating any. After all, Usagi had said she made it herself and Usagi was not known for her culinary skills.

"Try it. Please Mamoru? I want to see if you like it." Usagi batted her eyelashes and gave him the most pitiful look she could muster. Mamoru slowly took one of the fudge pieces and placed it in his mouth. He chewed slowly and then swallowed carefully.

"Do you like it? I know that it probably isn't as good as the chocolate I buy for you at the store, but I made it with love so that counts for something right? It tastes good doesn't it?"

Mamoru heard the slight tremor in her voice at the end of her sentence and knew that his answer would either save his eardrums or give them permanent damage. "I loved it." he said smiling weakly.

"Oh Mamoru, I'm so glad! I'll be right back, I have to go tell Rei that she was wrong and that my food didn't poison you!" Usagi gave him a quick hug and then scampered over to the booth that her friends occupied.

Motoki came over to Mamoru and gave him a questioning look. "So how did Usagi's chocolate taste?"

"Actually, it tasted just like it was supposed to."

Motoki's eyebrow's rose. "Then why did you look why you wanted to toss your cookies?"

Mamoru sighed. "I don't like chocolate."
