A Sailor Moon Fanfiction: The Pledge of the Sun.

Chapter 9

"Seriously? You even read about Harajuku Station in books?" asked Harusuke. "You must be kidding."

"That's no good, Ami. There's more to life than studying, you know," Usagi said with a wink. "You need to learn to have fun once in a while, especially since we're so young!"

"Oh, I didn't know that," Ami spoke shyly, blushing. "I'm sorry."

"There's no need to apologize," said Usagi. "Today, we're not only going to make up for what you missed out on, but we're going to have some fun window shopping till we drop! Come on, you two! Let's go!

"Okay!" said Ami and Harusuke.

Then the three of them began their window-shopping trip. The teens went from store to store, checking out what all the stores had to offer. They tried on various clothes, accessories and many other things. They even went to perfume shops, knick-knack shops, and even some other stores. They even went to a book store which was by far Ami's favorite stop so far.

"Hey Ami," said Usagi as she walked up to her carrying a manga book. "Did you find anything interesting?"

"I sure did," said Ami happily. "If not more! I found lots of things here."

"That's great," said Usagi. "So what kinds of stuff do you read, Ami?"

"I'll show you my book if you show me yours," said Ami.

"Um... I'm not so sure that's a good idea, you two," said Harusuke.

But the two girls did it anyway. As soon as they opened the books they traded, Usagi's eyes were practically swirling while Ami's were wide with shock.

"This book has no pictures!" groaned Usagi. "I don't understand a single word of this!"

"This book is practically pictures!" yelped Ami. "Usagi's going to rot her brains out on this manga!"

Harusuke couldn't help but burst into a fit of laughter seeing their reactions.

After a while, the three rested by a crepe store.

"Whew. I'm tired," said Usagi. "We sure did a lot of shopping today, didn't we?"

"Yeah. I agree," said Ami. "But I had a lot of fun."

"Glad you are," said Harusuke. "To be perfectly honest, I had fun too, and I'm not even a mall trawler."

Then the three noticed something. A large crowd of people was standing just outside of the store in front of them. The sign above it read: "Clock Look. Big Spring Sale Week."

"Wow. There's a lot of people over there," said Harusuke.

"There sure are," said Ami. "I wonder what's going on?"

Usagi squinted and saw a sign below the name on a window that made her excited.

"Hey! Check it out, you guys!" she said. "It's a grand opening sale of clocks and watches! Everything is between fifty and seventy percent off! That's a great deal! We should go over there and check it out!"

"I don't know. I don't need a watch or clock," Ami said thoughtfully. "I got one from my mom as a gift."

"And I don't need one either because I kinda have a built-in clock in me," said Harusuke. "Not to mention I got one in my room."

"Oh, come, you two! Where's your adventurous spirit?!" said Usagi. "Shopping isn't just about buying. It's about having fun! Not to mention looking around won't cost us a thing, so we should take advantage of it!"

And before Ami and Harusuke could say anything more, Usagi had taken them both each by the hand and dragged them into the store. Inside, the manager greeted them, a young woman wearing a red dress and brown hair in a fancy bun.
