This is more of a joke sequence than anything else, and it came to me in the wake of writing something a bit more serious about Doug working with the Senshi. I'm not even sure if it will actually make it into the story at all, so I figured I might as well share it now. The setting is one of the classic all-Senshi study sessions. Enjoy.
"" Usagi suddenly blurted as her frustration crested, and Ami dropped her pen in shock. She and Minako stared at Usagi while Rei and Makoto traded puzzled looks."Usagi..." Ami began hesitantly. "Where did you learn that?"Usagi acquired a puzzled look of her own. "Doug-sensei says it every once in a while when something bothers him, and he thinks he's alone. Why? Am I using it wrong?"Ami glanced at Minako and raised her eyebrows. Minako held up one hand, fingers spread in a "not me!" gesture as she shook her head, and Ami suppressed a sigh. She turned back to Usagi. "No,you used it correctly. It's just..." She trailed off, utterlyunsure of how to tell her.Minako suddenly leaned forward and wagged her finger at the MoonPrincess. "It's a very naughty word, missy, and we should wash your mouth out with soup for using it!" she declared withutmost seriousness."With soap, Mina-chan! *Soap!*" Ami hissed, then returned her attention to Usagi. "Mina-chan's right, Usagi. It's one of the most obscene words in English, and you really shouldn't...""It is? Cool!" Usagi's obvious delight steamrolled Ami's objections into nonexistence. "I'm going to have to rememberthat and make sure I use it at all the right times then!""Baka!" Rei blurted."What's the big deal, Rei-chan?" Usagi asked, serenely unconcerned. "Don't they say that you've never really mastered a language until you can use the slang and all that?"Rei slapped her hand across her eyes and dragged it down her face. "Just what we need," she muttered. "A moon princess with a filthy mouth."
