Unfortunately, it was still raining outside. Chibiusa had planned to go out that day and play with some of her friends, but when she woke up that morning, it was pouring rain. She sighed as she continued to look out the window, looking sadly out onto the rain-drenched landscape. She'd bother Usagi for entertainment, but she was out with Mamoru and Chibiusa had decided to be the mature one for once and let them have their time. Of course, that was before the rain had canceled her plans.

The only other people in the house were Usagi's mother and Shingo and while she liked Usagi's mother (who really was Chibiusa's grandmother, but Chibiusa never thought of her like that), she didn't really want to spend time around Shingo right now as he was currently camped out in front of the TV. Finally, after thinking it over, Chibiusa decided to read one of the fairy tale books she owned, even though she found them boring at times, but it was better than doing nothing at all. However, before getting the book, she looked out the window once again.

Unfortunately, it was still raining outside.

I like how the same sentence begins and ends the snippet. It makes it feel cyclical and kind of helps illustrate the frustration that Chibi-USA must be feeling at being stuck outside.

Well, that was part of the challenge after all. ;)

Oh and her name is Chibi-usa or Chibiusa, depending on who is spelling it. The "usa" in her name is short for the name Usagi, which she shares with the main character, so to differentiate between the two characters, they gave her a name that basically translates to "little Usagi".

Just thought I'd like you know. :) I probably should do a huge Sailor Moon watch with you just to educate you. ;)

And yes, you should. :P though we still need to sit and watch Digimon together. -snug-
