A Sailor Moon Fanfiction: The Pledge of the Sun.

Chapter 109

"I wouldn't be worried. You'll both get in for sure," said Harusuke. "After all, you've been studying hard."

"We all have been," smiled Rei. "And if you keep it up, you'll get accepted for sure."

Usagi hummed in agreement with a firm nod.

"I was referring to Minako and Makoto," Rei spoke with a disparaging look.

Usagi then glared at Rei. "Hey, Rei. I felt kind of hurt by what you said, and that look you gave me wasn't nice either!" Usagi growled. "It's like I felt our friendship was in danger."

"Gee, I wonder why," Rei spoke, still being snide.

"You're only so cocky because the T.A. Girls Academy works off an escalator system," Usagi huffed jealously. "You don't even have to study for the high school entrance exams."

"Hey, you'll be all right too, Usagi," soothed Ami. "You'll be able to get into any school you want, as long as you pass the exam."

"Ami, you're not helping things here," said Rei. "You do realize who you're talking to, right?"

"Hey! There you go again being a meanie, Rei!" Usagi crossly snapped. "You always think you're so smart!"

"Well, I am!" Rei snapped back. "Besides, I call 'em as I see 'em!"

"Would you two stop?" Harusuke sighed. "Seriously. Your constant bickering is giving me a headache."

Then, Minako took notice of a young girl running on the track. She was tan-skinned, had short pink hair, and ran as fast and elegant as a gazelle.

"Hey, you guys," Minako spoke, pointing. "Isn't that..."

Makoto recognized her too. "Oh, wow! That's Elza Gray!"

"Is she someone famous?" wondered Harusuke.

"I'm surprised you never heard of her," said Makoto. "She does competitive sprinting and hurtling meets all over the country against top competitors. She's a big deal."

Elza soon stopped to take a break from sprinting and had a drink of water. When she had her fill, she noticed Usagi and her group. Upon making eye contact, every one of Usagi's group bowed in respect for Elza. Then, Elza went over to talk to Usagi and the others, near a bench.

"So, you're all here to check out the school?" Elza asked. "If so, do you plan to apply here next year?"

"Well, we're not exactly sure if we are," said Makoto.

At that moment, Elza did something entirely unexpected. She slipped both her hands underneath Makoto's and Minako's bums and gave them a slight squeeze. Minako and Makoto both let out squeals of surprise and shot to their feet while everyone else stared at Elza in shock.

"E-Elza! What are you doing?!" Makoto squawked with embarrassment.

Elza remained silent, thoughtfully humming while wiggling her fingers assessing something. "Both of your butts are firm and compact," she said with a smile. "Perfectly suited for track and field. If you choose this school, you should join our team."

Everyone then laughed.

"I'll say this much," Minako giggled. "You sure got some strange recruiting method."

Rei then looked across to Usagi. "I'd say the best pick for you would be team manager."

"Why? Because I'm no good at sports?!" Usagi huffed in a pout.

"Hold on a minute. You can tell just by touching a person's butts?" Harusuke wondered. "I don't know if I should be impressed or weirded out. Then again, Minako does play volleyball, and Makoto does martial arts, so you're sort of correct. Do you do the same thing to boys, or were you coping a feel?"
