Motoki had decided to hold a karaoke night at the arcade, and somehow I got roped into coming. I still don’t know how he convinced me to come, but here I am sitting with my usual cup of coffee. I was worried about running into Usagi. Breaking up with her was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life. I had to let go of the one thing in the world I cared about more than anything else. I told her it was because I didn’t love her. God that was such a lie. I love her so much, I couldn’t fathom life without her in it. But the dreams I keep having of her smiling happily in my arms one moment, lifeless the next….I can’t help but worry that this might be a sign of something.

Last night she came to my door apparently having had the same dream. She cried outside my door for the longest time. I wanted to tell her then how sorry I was, how much I loved her, but I just couldn’t. I have to watch over her from afar at least until I can figure things out.

A couple of girls go up and sing their hearts out, but none of them are really any good. Still no sign of Usako. Another boy went up, a classmate of Usagi’s, Umino I believe was his name and sang a love song to one of Usako’s friends, Naru. It was silly really, but I understood the sentiment. Sighing and tired of the poor songs, I was about to turn and leave when Motoki nearly shoved me back into my seat.

All of a sudden, a song I never heard before came on.

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Caught in a bad romance

The lights were dimmed so I couldn’t see who it was.

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh!
Oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance

Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah!
Roma-Roma-ma-ah!
Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

Four faces I knew all too well appeared on the stage.

Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah!
Roma-Roma-ma-ah!
Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

Hmm, well I guess I’ll stay to listen to them and then head out. Even though Usagi and weren’t together anymore, they were still my friends and it would be disrespectful to get up and leave now.

I want your ugly
I want your disease
I want your everything
As long as it’s free
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love

It took me a moment to realize that the girl that had come out from behind the others was Usagi. She looked beautiful, sexy and so many other words I couldn’t begin to describe. And…she was looking straight at me.

I want your drama
The touch of your hand
I want you leather studded kiss in the scene
And I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love

She kept her eyes locked on mine as she sang this whole verse, and I knew she was talking about us. She wanted me despite it all. Despite how cold I had been to her. It was hard to watch without tearing up. The girls joined in on the chorus.

You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
I want a bad,your bad romance

I want your loving
And I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your loving
All your love is revenge
You and me could write a bad romance

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh!
Oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh!
Oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance

Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah!
Roma-Roma-ma-ah!
Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

I want your horror
I want your design
‘Cause you’re a criminal
As long as your mine
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love

She looked at me with such love, and I know I must have had the same stupid grin on my face. I wanted her back, and she knew it.

I want your psycho
Your vertical stick
Want you in my room
When your baby is sick
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love
Love-love-love
I want your love

You know that I want you
And you know that I need you
I want a bad,your bad romance

I blushed. Oh man, those lyrics killed me. Not only did I want her back, I wanted her, and I wanted her NOW. The short dress she was wearing wasn’t helping. Looking around I saw the whole male population, including MOTOKI! staring at her as she strutted across the stage. I scowled at him and jabbed him in the side. He gave a nervous laugh, and if I saw her face correctly, she smirked.

I want your loving
And I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your loving
All your love is revenge
You and me could write a bad romance

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh!
Oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh!
Oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh!
Caught in a bad romance

Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah!
Roma-Roma-ma-ah!
Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!

Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah!
Roma-Roma-ma-ah!
Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

The girls sang then as Usagi strutted across the stage bending and moving in ways I never thought imagineable. It turned me on so much I was surprised I didn’t have a nosebleed coming on along with my raging hard on. All of a sudden a tissue was in my face along with a smirking Motoki. So much for that.

Walk walk fashion baby
Work it
Move that bitch crazy
Walk walk fashion baby
Work it
Move that bitch crazy
Walk walk fashion baby
Work it
Move that bitch crazy
Walk walk fashion baby
Work it
Imma Freak bitch baby

Usagi came back to the center and sang the next lines, looking at me very seriously.

I want your love
And I want your revenge
I want your love
I don’t wanna be friends

Je veux ton amour
Et je veux ta revenge
Je veux ton amour

I don’t wanna be friends…..

No, I don’t wanna be friends……

I don’t wanna be friends…..

As she sang that line, tears started to form in her eyes, and about lost my composure. I wanted to run up there and hold her and tell her I was the biggest idiot in the world for letting her go.

The song concluded, and the lights went back out. The whole arcade was cheering loudly, but I was rooted to my seat, a thousand thoughts clouding my mind.

“What the hell are you still sitting here for man?” my best friends voice came from behind me.

I didn’t answer.

“She’s probably in the park. She goes there a lot lately when there’s stuff on her mind.”

I nodded at him, my silent way of saying thank you and walked slowly outside of the arcade doors. It didn’t take long to reach the park, and sure enough, I found her sitting on the bench, a familiar locket in her hands.

“Mamo-chan” she said quietly to herself, still unaware of my presence.

“Yes Usako?” I answered walking up to her. She looked up at me startled, her face stained with tears. I sat down next to her.

“Usako…I…I’m so sorry. I was stupid.”

“Oh, Mamo-chan! Please don’t ever do that again, ever again! If you have a bad dream or anything else bothering you, please talk to me first before making dumb decisions like this!” she said whilst sobbing in my arms.

I assured her I wouldn’t. After a few more moments of consoling her and holding her close, I noticed she was still in her costume.

I looked at her and said,

“Who knew my Usako could speak French?”

She smirked.

“Somehow I don’t think the one lone French line wasn’t what surprised you.”

I smirked back and whispered back,

“You’d be right about that love. And because we both know what it was that surprised me, I would appreciate it if you only ever wore that dress and move that way only for me from now on” I said with a bit of a possessive growl in the back of my throat.

“Only if you promise me one thing” she said with a flirtatious grin.

“And what’s that?”

“You’re vertical stick of course”

I laughed remembering the line and said

“Alright, but it can’t be in your room I’m afraid. You might want to call your mom and tell her you’ll be with one of the girls tonight because you’re coming with me love” I said as we both stood up.

“I sure will be” she said with a smile

“Usako!” I said with a smirk, a blush adorning my face.

She just laughed and then leaned in to kiss me. I kissed her back passionately, and almost lost it right then.

I swatted her butt gently, then picked her up.

“I think it’s time we leave the park. Don’t want to disturb the innocent passerbys”

She giggled, and I went around the corner and transformed to her favorite tuxedo masked hero and bounded off into the night, anticipating the evenings festivities.

We would truly write a bad romance, but that was fine with me. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
