It was a brisk April morning. The new buds on the trees were lazily taking their time to develop into the little umbrellas that would soon hide the sun from the Earth. The air was rich with the sent of the cherry blossoms that were now starting to bloom.

Walking quietly, a very lovely girl with long golden hair was on her way to class. She stopped as she came to a cherry tree full of blossoms. Gently, she pulled a branch close to her as she took a deep breath in of the wonderful scent.

"You look so pretty with those blossoms around your face," a soft masculine voice said. The young woman turned around and a large smile was lit upon her face.

"Good morning Mamo-chan my love, I didn't think that I would see you this morning," the young woman said giving Mamoru a gentle hug.

"Usako I felt the need to see you, I have something that I need to talk to you about," Mamoru said.

"What is it?" Usagi asked with wide blue eyes.

"I will tell you after you get out of school, I will wait for you outside once the final bell has rung," Mamoru said.

"But don't you have a lecture at the college today, and then work?" Usagi asked.

"I called in sick for work, and the lecture is going to be cut short today because the sensei has other arrangements today, so I will be able to see you."

"Oh okay then, well I better start walking or I will be late for class, I will see you later then. I love you."

"I love you too Odango," Mamoru said as he turned and walked away.

'I wonder what that was all about?' Usagi thought to herself as she headed off for school. She made it to class on time with five minutes to spare and took her usual seat next to a girl with short blue hair.

"Hey Usagi what's up? Are you ready for the math test today?"

"Hey Ami, yeah I am ready. We are in high school now, we can't just be lazy anymore." Usagi said with a tone of worry in her voice.

"Usagi is there anything bothering you, you do not seem your usual happy self today?" Ami asked as she looked over at Usagi.

"I don't really know," Usagi started, "this morning on my way to school I saw Mamo-chan. I usually never see him in the morning on my way to school. Anyway, he said that he was going to meet me after the final bell rang, because he has something that he wants to talk to me about. He even called into work sick today!"

"Oh I am sure that it is nothing, now put that out of your mind for now and concentrate on the math test that is headed our way!" Ami said as the sensei placed a math test on her desk.

"Yeah I hope you are right Ami," Usagi said as she started her math test.

The final bell rang at 3:30 and Ami and Usagi headed to their little lockers to get their shoes. They took off their slippers and placed on their shoes. They placed the slippers in the locker where the shoes were and started to leave.

"Hey guys wait up," a voice called from behind Ami and Usagi. The two turned around to see a tall brunette girl headed their way.

"Oh hey Mako-chan how are you doing?" Ami asked as Makoto approached.

"I am doing great, how about you two?" Makoto asked.

"I am doing well," Ami said, "I think that I totally aced that math test."

"Oh Ami-chan you always ace all your tests that is why you are always at the top of the class!" Makoto said with a bit of envy in her voice. "Hey Usagi you have not said one word since I got here are you okay?"

"Yeah I am fine, but I do have to get going, Mamo-chan said that he was going to meet me outside after school, so I have better get going." Usagi said. "See you two later today okay!" Usagi walked out of the school to where she saw Mamoru standing under a tall tree.

"Hey you, so what is it you want to talk to me about?" Usagi asked, looking at him again with those big blue eyes.

"Lets go somewhere more quiet and alone so where I will not get distracted with what I have to tell you."

"Oh okay, where are we going to go?" Usagi asked.

"To the park by the lake, all the cherry trees are in full bloom over there and I find it very peaceful." Mamoru said as he took Usagi's hand and started to walk to Mamoru's car. Like a gentleman he opened Usagi's door and helped her in the car. He gently but firmly shut her door, made his way over to his side of the car, and got in. The ride to the park was quiet; not a word was said until they got there.

Mamoru pulled to the side of the road and parked his car. He got out and very quickly went to Usagi's side of the car to let her out. He closed her door then went to the trunk of his car to get something. Usagi looked at what he was getting and got a smile on her face when she saw a picnic basket. She let herself relax and the two headed down towards the lake. They had a wonderful little meal filled with all kinds of sweets and goodies. After the little picnic, Mamoru leaned over closer to Usagi. Usagi's heart started to pound a little faster than normal when she saw the dreadful look in her love's eyes.

"Mamo-chan what is the matter?" Usagi asked.

"Usako I have something to tell you," Mamoru started, "I have been excepted to study at a major university in America. It is the biggest opportunity of my life." Mamoru said with a smile on his face.

"H-how long will you be gone for?" Usagi stammered fighting to hold back her tears.

"About a year or two, maybe longer." Mamoru said with a smile. His bubble of happiness burst when he saw the tears in Usagi's eyes and the pain on her face. "How are you about all of what I just told you?" He asked wiping away a tear from her cheek.

"I am happy for you, it is not everyday that a person from Japan is accepted to study overseas in America, I am happy for you," Usagi said forcing a smile on her face.

"Then why the tears? I love you and while I am there I will be thinking of only you," Mamoru said holding Usagi in his arms now.

"I know, I just do not like the fact that you are going to be gone for so long. I will write you everyday!" Usagi said looking into Mamoru's deep blue eyes. "When do you leave?"

"Tomorrow night, at 5:30, will you see me off?" Mamoru asked.

"You're leaving tomorrow night? This is all too soon Mamo-chan, but yes I will see you off, I love you."

They both looked deep into each other's eyes before embracing each other. They hugged for a while enjoying the warmth of each other's body before letting go.

Mamoru cleaned up the picnic and the two headed back to his car. He took Usagi home, planted a soft kiss on her cheek, and said good-bye. Usagi went inside and up to her room, where she immediately called Makoto.

"Hello! This is Makoto." The voice said.

"Hey Mako-chan, it's Usagi, boy have I got news to tell you guys." Usagi said.

"What is it?" Makoto asked anxious to hear what Usagi had to say.

"Meet me at Rei's temple in 20 minutes, call Minako-chan and tell her to come too, I will bring Ami," Usagi said.

"Okay see you in 20 minutes, don't be late!" Makoto said with a giggle.

"Hey I have not been late to anything in a long time." Usagi said sternly.

"I know I was just teasing, good-bye."

"Bye Mako-chan," Usagi said hanging up the telephone. She called Ami and told her to meet up at Rei's temple. Ami said that she was finishing up her homework and that she will be there when she is done.

About 20 minutes had passed when Usagi started walking up the temple stairs. When she got to the top, she saw a tall girl with dark hair sweeping the sidewalk that led to the temple entrance.

"Hey Rei, how's it going?" Usagi asked.

"Not bad, what brings you here Usagi? Not to be rude or anything, but I am pretty busy." Rei said as she continued sweeping. Just then Makoto, Ami, and Minako were at the top of the stairs.

"Hey guys, you made it!" Usagi said with a smile.

"What is going on here?" Rei asked.

"Your guess is as good as mine Rei," Minako said. "Mako-chan told me that Usagi-chan here has something important to tell us." Minako finished as her long blond hair swayed in the breeze.

"You guys," Usagi started, "Mamo-chan is going to go to America to study over there. He is going to be gone for a year or two maybe longer. What is the worst part of this is that he is leaving tomorrow night." Usagi finished as a tear ran down her right cheek.

"Wow that is news." All four girls said in unison.

"Yeah tell me about it, I do not know what I am going to do with Mamo-chan gone." Usagi said her voice cracking from trying to keep her composure.

"Don't worry Usagi, you will be just fine, you will always have us four around to keep you company." Rei said putting her arm around Usagi giving her a soft hug.

"Thanks Rei, you don't know how much that means to me hearing that from you." Usagi said looking her friend in the eyes.

"Hey girl we will always be here for you, no matter what!" Minako said handing Usagi a tissue.

"Well it is getting late," Usagi said, "and I have to get home and start my homework. I will see you guys later." With that Usagi got up and started to head back down the temple stairs.

"If you ever need to talk to somebody, you know who to call." Makoto said calling to Usagi.

Usagi turned around to look at her friends once more, "Thank you guys, I will remember that." Usagi said and walked away. Her walk home seemed to take forever; the thoughts of what Mamoru told her earlier seemed to weigh down her feet. When she finally got to her house, she opened the door and walked right up to her room. 'I know, I will work on my homework to get my mind off today.' Usagi thought as she went to her bag to grab her math book. She flipped to the page that she needed and started to work. She did not finish one problem before she broke down and started to cry. Luna her little black cat heard her cry and went to her to see what was wrong.

"What is the matter Usagi? Why are you so sad?" Luna asked the crying Usagi.

"Oh Luna, I talked to Mamo-chan today and he told me that he is leaving for America tomorrow to study abroad. What makes things worse is that I am not going to see him for a year if not more." Usagi said as she started to cry harder.

"Usagi you should be happy for him and not sad, there is no need for tears." Luna said placing a paw on Usagi's head.

"Luna I am happy for him, I am just sad that I am not going to see him for such a long time, what am I going to do without my sweet Mamo-chan?" Usagi said looking into Luna's big gold eyes.

"Hey you have the girls, they will always be there for you no matter what, and there is no telling who you may meet down the road."

"You are right Luna, I should say good-bye with a smile. I will see him again. I should not feel so bad."

"That is the spirit Usagi, now why do not you finish that homework of yours."

"I am already ahead of you Luna," Usagi said as she was working again on her math homework.

"Good, now I am going to go back to sleep, see you in the morning Usagi."

"Goodnight Luna." Usagi said. About a half and hour later Usagi was done and in bed, she wanted all the sleep she could get, tomorrow was going to be a big day.

The sun shone brightly in the room as Usagi's alarm clock softly went off. She got out of bed, stretched, and went to take a shower. Five minutes later she was dressed and downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning mom!" Usagi said as she sat down at the table.

"Good morning honey, how did you sleep last night?" Ikuko, Usagi's mother asked.

"I slept pretty good, I got a full eight hours of sleep."

"That is good to hear, here is your breakfast honey."

"Thank you mom." Usagi looked at her plate and saw one of her favorites, blueberry pancakes. She got a big smile on her face as she started to eat. Ten minutes later she was finished and cleaned up her dish, took her lunch, thanked her mom for her breakfast and her lunch, and headed out the door.

The air was warm and sweet which made Usagi's walk to school a little more easily. As much as she wanted to savor the air, she knew she would be late for school. She took in one last deep breath of the fragrant air before picking up the pace to school.

She arrived at her school with about ten minutes to spare and she used that time to savor the sweet air. She closed her eyes, stretched out her arms, and was nearly run over by Minako who was speeding her way. Minako gave Usagi such a tight hug that Usagi's face was turning a lovely shade of blue.

"Hey, Minako-chan... mind loosening your grip a bit? I… can't… breathe." Usagi said barely audible.

"Usagi I am so happy to see you!" Minako squeaked as she loosened her tight death grip on Usagi.

"What has put you in such a good mood?" Usagi asked as she looked into Minako's starry eyes.

"Oh nothing, just that it is such a wonderful day and you were the first person that I saw so I thought that I would share my wonderful mood with one of my bestest friends!" Minako said as she looked at her friend.

"Well Minako dear," Usagi started, "I do not want to burst your bubble, but we are going to be late for class if we just stand here."

"Oh okay, lets go to class." Minako said with the tone of "do I have to?" in her voice.

The two walked to class and took their assigned seats. Usagi took out her workbook, a notebook and a pencil and was ready for whatever the teacher dished out. Minako on the other hand was sitting day dreaming of god knows what. All the scientists and geniuses of the world will never be able to find out what runs through that girl's mind. Usagi started to giggle inside when she saw the goofy look on Minako's face as she was off in la la land.

The rest of school went by pretty fast, and to Usagi's surprise, she did not have any homework. 'This is a first, for once I do not have to waste my time with silly homework.' She walked to her locker, put her books away, and closed the locker. She started to head out the door

when from out of nowhere a pair of arms where around her waist cutting off the air that she so desperately needed. Of course, it was no surprise to her when she turned around to see none other than Minako.

"Still in your good mood I take it?" Usagi said.

"Well who couldn't be on such a great day like this?" Minako said with an ear to ear smile. She opened her arms to stretch to the sky and inhaled a big smell of the air.

"Well I guess not everybody is as bummed as I am," Usagi said with her head down kicking some rocks.

"Are you still depressed with Mamoru going off to America?" Minako said picking some the rocks off her shoe.

"I really am happy for him, and I wish him all the best when he is in America, but deep down in my heart, I do not want him to go."

"You know what, the best way to see him off today is with a big smile. If he saw you sad it may give him second thoughts about leaving, and I do not think that you want that to happen."

"Yeah I guess you're right, I will show him off with a smile."

"Good! Now what are we going to do until you have to go to the airport?"

"Actually Mina, I wanted to be alone for a while, it is 4 now and his plane takes off in another hour and a half. I am going to go home to make sure that I look decent when I go to see him."

"Okay then Usagi, talk to you tonight okay?"

"Deal!" Usagi said and started her walk home.

* * *

Mamoru and Usagi were sitting on a bench right in front of the doors that lead to a long corridor that connected to Mamoru's plane to America.

Usagi's head was resting peacefully on Mamoru's shoulder, her right arm threaded around his left. While Usagi was enjoying her last precious minutes with her Mamo-chan, Mamoru was dreading what he was going to say to Usagi.

"Usako," Mamoru said looking down to a pair of blond odango.

"Hmmm," Usagi said blissfully.

"There is something that I have to tell you, something important."

"Oh I already know Mamo-chan, I already know how much you love me." Usagi said as if she was in heaven with her Mamo-chan.

"No Usagi that is not what I want to tell you." At the mention of "Usagi" instead of "Usako," plus the tone in Mamoru's voice made Usagi's head pop up. Sky meeting sapphire, as she looked him in the eyes.

"What is it that you want to tell me?" Usagi said, having a hard time verbalizing the words.

"Usagi, you know that I am going to college in America for a couple of years, and I am going to be very busy, and that I am not going to be able to keep in touch."

"Mamo-chan, w-what are you saying?" Usagi said, tears stinging the corners of her eyes.

"Please don't interrupt me, as much as this hurts me, I must say this. I think that it is best if we separate while I am in America. I feel that in the long run this will help our relationship."

"If that is what you want Mamoru, then this is good-bye forever. You can't just say I want to stop the relationship when you leave then pick up where we left off when you came back like nothing happened. I cannot do that; it's not fair to me. Whatever I may do in my life at that time, you want me to put on hold just because you have come home. I am sorry, but if you want to break up, then good-bye Mamoru. I am so sick of you pushing me away from you for

your own benefit. Have a safe trip, I love you." Usagi said as she turned around and started to run away, her tears blinding her view of where she was going. Mamoru stood there as he watched the love of his life run out his life forever.

In a room that seemed to be devoid of everything but a giant door, a young woman with wise garnet eyes and flowing green hair looked at the scene that just took placed between Mamoru and Usagi.

"Mamoru-san you baka, the path that you just chosen was not the wisest one," Pluto sighed looking at the mirror and seeing the events that was going to take place because of what just happened.

'There is nothing that I can do about this either, this was his choice, and well he will just have to live with what he has done.' Pluto's thoughts were running a mile a minute when she saw a picture of Usagi colliding into the arms of the man that she would spend all eternity with.

Usagi kept running blindly through the airport that she did not see the group of three people walking in her path.

SMACK.

Usagi hit the young man in the middle and hit the floor. She did not move, just sat there on the floor, and continued to cry.

The young man in the middle knelt down in front of the crying form of Usagi.

"Hey it's okay, there's nothing hurt on me, you don't need to cry," he said taking out a handkerchief.

Usagi's tears subsided a bit and were able to focus a bit more on a red object in her direct view.

Usagi took the handkerchief and lightly dabbed her eyes dry. She went to give it back when she saw three pairs of legs and one outstretched hand.

She followed the hand up to its owner. Her eyes got wide in shock and a gasp escaped her lips.

Reaching for the hand, she took hold and was hoisted up on her feet. Usagi just stared at the three for a second before coming back into reality.

"Thank you," Usagi whispered as she gave the handkerchief back to its owner. "I am very sorry that I was not looking where I was going, I am sorry if I caused you any inconvenience." Usagi said as she bowed her head.

"That is quite alright Miss." The person in the middle said taking back his red handkerchief and placing it back into the breast pocket of his jacket.

"Tsukino Usagi, but please call me Usagi," she said. She knew who these three were, just about everybody knew.

The young man in the middle was the first to introduce himself.

"I'm Kou Seiya, but you may call me Seiya. To my right is Kou Taiki, and to my left, this is Kou Yaten." Seiya said.

Usagi too each of their hands, looking each one in the eyes and placed her best smile on her face. "It is such a pleasure meeting you three. I thank you for not being upset with me. Seiya, I thank you for your kindness and warmth that you have shown towards me. Now if you excuse me, I don't want to keep you fine gentlemen away from what I am sure is to be a busy day." With that, said Usagi started to walk away.

"She is a sweet girl, I wonder what got her so upset." Seiya said.

"Did you see the look on her face when she saw us? She knew who we are, and yet she didn't act like all of the rest of our fans." Yaten said.

"She took the time to introduce herself and when we were introduced, she treated us the same, I like that," Taiki said with a small grin.

While the actions, that Usagi made to the Three Lights brightened their day, the action that Mamoru made, he would regret for the rest of his life.

* * *

At Rei's temple, a softly sobbing Usagi was re-living all of the events that took place at the airport.

Rei, being her usual hot-tempered self, was very calm, understanding, and down right comforting Usagi. If there was one thing that Rei hated the most, it was seeing Usagi this upset.

Mina on the other hand was more interested in the one who "answered the call of a lady in distress." She wanted to know all the details of the world famous Three Lights. Of course, she was concerned about Usagi.

Makoto and Ami were just sitting there in silence listening to Usagi's story, when Ami got an idea. "Hey guys, why don't we all go up to the arcade, play a few games, and drink some of those awesome chocolate milkshakes that they have."

"Would you guys be upset if I declined? I just want to be alone for a while; maybe I will join up with you guys later." Usagi said with a hint of depression in her voice.

"Where are you going to go Usagi-chan?" Rei asked, a worried tone in her voice as she looked at Usagi.

"I'll probably just go to the park and think, don't worry if anything happens I will contact you guys. I will be okay," Usagi said giving the group one of her famous smiles.

"Well okay then, stay safe okay?" Makoto said, giving Usagi a hug. Everyone said good-bye to Usagi and headed towards the arcade.

"I hope that she is going to be okay. I mean this whole thing with Mamoru must be hurting her more than she is letting on," Rei said looking at the figure of Usagi get smaller and smaller in the city.

"Everything will be okay, she is a tough girl, besides we are here to keep her from going to the madhouse over this." Makoto said, although there was a tone in her voice that was more than a little concerned for Usagi.

"Well let's go get those milkshakes. Even though Usagi is not here doesn't mean that we can't have them right?" Minako said, the thought of having a milkshake was making her mouth water. The rest of the girls agreed and soon they were off to the arcade to have the best milkshakes in all Japan.

Usagi kept walking, everything that happened that day was playing repeatedly in her head. She still could not believe that her Mamo-chan did not want to be with her when he was in America, but expected her to stop everything that she was doing when he got back. She finally got to the park and sat down at one of the benches that had the nicest view of the park. Her emotions got the better of her again and started to sob softly. She felt like there was nobody out there that wanted to be with her. She kept going over the times that Mamoru did not want to be with her anymore, but took him back when he thought that their love was for real. Usagi looked back on all of the events that took place, not only did it make her hurt more, but she screamed out to the sky asking for answers.

"What did I do to deserve all this pain? Will I ever be truly loved again without being jerked around? Why do I have to be such an idiot?" With that last question, Usagi realized what she was doing and became quiet. The last thing that she needed right at this point was a crowd looking at her as if she was some crazy person.

"Why did you have to do this to me again Mamo-chan?" Usagi said so softly, almost to herself as the tears welled up again and spilled over her eyes. She hugged and rocked herself in an attempt to give her comfort. It was working a bit, Usagi was calming down, her tears were not falling as fast, and she was getting sleepy.

"Excuse me miss?" A voice said. Usagi's head popped up and turned around to see a young man holding out a handkerchief for her. "There really is no need to cry, I would like to see that smile of yours again." He said handing the handkerchief to Usagi.

Usagi's eyes got big as she stared up at the young man before her. She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She tried again and this time the only thing that she could get out was his name.

"Seiya-kun." Usagi whispered, not sure if what he eyes were seeing was the truth.

"Please just call me Seiya, now do you want to talk about what is making you cry?" Seiya said taking a seat next to her on the bench. Usagi just stared at the same red handkerchief that she stared at earlier in the day. She looked at Seiya and saw that he was truly interested in her well being. Usagi felt that she could trust him, although she had just met him.

"Why would you want to hear my sob story?" Usagi said looking Seiya straight in his eyes.

"There is just something about you that shines. Whatever it is, I do not think that you should be crying. I do not know, there is just something that tells me that you are a happy person who usually tries to make people happy." Seiya finished, looked at Usagi, and smiled. Usagi felt something from him that she has not felt from anybody before, not even Mamoru. Whatever it was, she felt like she could trust Seiya and started to tell him her story.

"Okay I will tell you, but there is nothing that important that happens in my life, so if my story bores you, feel free to stop me."

"Usagi, that is your name right?" Usagi nodded a yes and Seiya continued with what he was saying. "I am not going to stop you from what you have to say. I am going to sit here and listen to your story until you stop." With a smile Seiya took Usagi's hands and gave them a little squeeze indicating for her to start her story.

"Well it all started a really long time ago, but to spare you are really long story, I will just tell you what happened in the last two days." Usagi said and began to re-live the events that took place in a couple days span. When mentioning the day at the airport, Usagi started to get teary eyed.

"I am sorry for getting all emotional like this. I am sure that this is not how you wanted to spend your evening sitting next to a crying girl. Oh by the way, I want to apologize for bumping into you at the airport today." Usagi dried her eyes and handed the handkerchief back to Seiya.

"Hey don't worry about that, I know that it was a mistake and that you did not mean it, in fact the way that you presented yourself in front of my brother's and I was really polite. My brother as well as myself was really impressed. As for you being worried about my evening, don't. I am just glad that I am here to listen. May I ask you something?"

"Sure go ahead, I don't mind."

"You know who I really am don't you? You know what my brother's and I do right?"

Usagi looked up at Seiya and began to blush. A small smile played on her lips as she just looked at him.

"You do know who we are!" Seiya exclaimed a huge smile playing back on his lips.

"Yes I know who you and your brother's are. Who doesn't? I just do not act like every other girl out there when they see the famous Three Lights. To me you are just a regular person, who happens to be a little bit more popular then the rest of the people that I know. I do not think

that just because someone is more famous than another makes that person more important. Do you know what I am getting at?" Usagi said tilting her head to the side looking at Seiya.

"Yeah I do understand. Boy I wish my brother's could hear this. They can't stand all the attention from all the crazed fans we have. My brother's and I are very different. I kind of feel like the black sheep of the three of us."

"Why do you say that? I mean what is so different between you and your brothers?"

"Well for one, I am more out going, unlike my brother's who are more quiet and shut out to the world around them. I like to have fun, go see things, get involved with things, I don't know, I guess it completes me in a way."

"Wow," Usagi said as she looked at Seiya, "we have something in common." She looked at her watch as it read 8:30. "Oh my goodness I didn't realize how late it was, I have to get home, I don't want my parents worrying about where I am. Thank you so much for letting me ramble about my story, it really helped." She stood up from the bench and smiled down at Seiya. Seiya stood up as well, and looked Usagi deep in the eyes.

"It was my pleasure to be of service," Seiya said. Usagi blushed at Seiya's kindness and smiled. "That is what I want to see from you, that pretty smile, it suits you better than tears."

"Thank you, now I really must be going, I hope to see you around sometime. Goodnight Seiya, thank you again." Usagi said as she gave Seiya small hug. Something inside of her stirred, it felt good, warm, and safe. She broke away from the embrace and started to walk away towards her home. She turned around to look at Seiya one more time, waved good-bye, and headed out of the park. Seiya stood there watching as Usagi walked away. He felt something in his stomach, something he never felt before. It felt good, felt right, something that he wanted to feel again.

Usagi finally made her way to her house, and walked inside. She saw her mother, father, and brother sitting on the couch watching the television. "Hello everybody, I am sorry that I am so late. I went to the park after school to think I bumped into a friend, and we talked. It really helped. I am sorry if I worried you."

"Oh Usagi I am glad that you are okay. Next time call if you are going to go anywhere after school." Ikuko, Usagi's mother said.

"Yes I know mom, I usually do call when I am going somewhere, but I wanted to be alone and I honestly did not expect to be out so late, I am sorry. Now if you excuse me, I have a little bit of homework that I wanted to get done before I go to bed." Usagi said as she started to head up to her room.

"Usagi dear, would you like anything to eat?" Ikuko asked.

"Not right now mom, I am not that hungry, goodnight," Usagi said as she continued her way up the stairs. She got to her room and closed the door behind her. Pulling out her books, she did her homework. Luna came up from behind her and sat down next to her books.

"How are you feeling Usagi-chan, any better?" Luna asked looking at Usagi.

"Yeah I am feeling a little better, I had a nice talk with a new friend today. I really was not expecting to see anyone, but he surprised me." Usagi said without looking up from her book.

"He? Who is this person you are talking about!?" Luna asked in shock. She sat up straight and looked Usagi intently in the eye.

"Yes Luna I talked to a person who happens to be a he. I am allowed to talk to men right." Usagi said looking up from her books to look at Luna.

"Yes Usagi you are allowed to talk to other men, but do you need to pour your heart out to them? Usagi you just ended a relationship with Mamoru, and now you go talking to another person who happens to be a man interested about what happened, why Usagi?"

"Luna I know that you are my guardian. You make sure that nothing bad happens to me. Nevertheless, Luna nothing has happened, there has been no attacks for a long time. I am finally

becoming organized. I am getting the good grades you always wanted me to get. I am not lazy anymore, never late, and I did not end the relationship with Mamoru, he ended the relationship with me. This person was there for me to talk to. It was not as if I was talking to a complete stranger, I knew who he was. I am glad that I got everything out, if I didn't I would probably be a little bit more miserable now than I was before I talked to him." Usagi spat at Luna, she was upset because she totally turned her life around and was making great progress, but her guardian cat was still harping her on.

"I am sorry Usagi, I did not mean for that to come out like that. I love you as if you were my own, granted you are a human and I am a cat, but still you know what I am getting at. I will always worry about you because I love you and I never want anything bad to happen to you. I am very proud with the way you have turned out. You turned into a beautiful woman right before my eyes. I am proud of the fact that I got to witness you turn from a klutzy crybaby who was never on time for her life, to the beautiful young woman who I am looking at right now. Your mother would be so proud to see how her little princess grew up." Luna said, getting tears in her eyes thinking about life on the moon.

"Oh Luna I am sorry that I snapped at you, I did not mean it," Usagi said as she picked Luna up to giver her a hug. She started to pet behind the ears, which made Luna purr. "I have been under a lot of stress these past few days and it is getting to me. I know that you are proud of me. I am proud to have a wonderful guardian like yourself, I love you Luna." She too started to get tears in her eyes, about the even that just took place between her and Luna, and the events that just took place starting two days ago. "Well Luna it is getting late and I am really tired, I had a busy day today and I am sure that I am going to have another one tomorrow. Everybody will be asking me if I am okay or not."

"Okay Usagi-chan, sleep well, I will see you in the morning bright and early." Luna said as Usagi placed a small kiss just over her crescent moon. Luna hopped down out of Usagi's arms so Usagi could get ready for bed. Usagi slipped on her nightgown, and got into bed. Luna curled up next to Usagi, Usagi turned off the lights, and the two of them fell asleep. Luna went right to sleep. Usagi on the other hand, was not so lucky to fall asleep peacefully.

Usagi was running. It was dark and she could not make anything out. She kept running when a bright light blasted her. She was in a room. To Usagi, it almost looked like a dorm room. Unsure where she was, Usagi just stood there. From the other room, she heard a very familiar voice. It was all too familiar to Usagi. She moved to the room towards the voice when she stopped. Another voice was with the other person. Only Usagi did not know to whom this voice belonged. She moved closer to the room and saw that it was Mamoru with another woman. Usagi could feel her heart break into a million tiny pieces as she felt tears well up in her eyes.

Usagi got blasted with another bright light and was again running. Again, she had no idea where she was running to, she was glad that she was running away from the sight that she just saw. She was afraid of what she may see if she were to stop running. All of a sudden she stopped running and was now walking. The blackness that was surrounding her started to fade away. The sight that was coming into focus was starting to scare Usagi. The music that she started to hear confirmed her fear of what she saw. When both her sight and hearing were focused, Usagi saw that she was in a church. There was a wedding. The couple that was getting married was Mamoru and the bride was not Usagi.

Usagi bolted straight out of bed and started to sob. She could not control her tears, they just fell. She felt so terrible inside, the dream that she just had felt so real. Usagi's actions alerted Luna who was instantly by Usagi's side asking questions.

"What is the matter Usagi? Why are you crying?" Luna asked in a soothing voice trying to calm Usagi down. Usagi looked down at Luna and instantly enveloped Luna in her arms.

"Oh Luna I had this horrible nightmare. I was running and I was blasted with this bright light. I was in this strange room when I heard Mamoru's voice. I headed towards the room when another voice, a female voice startled me. As I crept further I saw Mamoru in the arms of another woman. The next scene I saw was Mamoru getting married. Luna I wasn't the bride, it was another woman." Usagi felt terrible. She knew that it was a dream, but it felt so real.

"Usagi, it was only a dream, dreams are not real." Luna said as she wiped away the tears from Usagi's eyes.

"Luna do you not remember the dreams that Mamoru and I had back when Chibi-usa was here? We both had dreams of what would happen in the future. Maybe this is the same kind of dream," Usagi said looking in the eyes of her cat. She was truly shook up about this dream. Usagi looked over at her clock to see that she had about a half-hour before her alarm would go off. Deciding that there was no point in going back to bed, she went to take a shower.

"Usagi, you shouldn't worry about this, you know that you and Mamoru were destined to be together." Luna said to add some sort of comfort to the situation.

"You never know Luna, the future is not set in stone." Usagi said as she stepped in the shower. That did not help ease Luna's mind at all. What Usagi said was right, the future wasn't set in stone and that anything could happen.

"Oh I hope that nothing goes wrong. Please let everything be okay for Usagi, she deserves the best." Luna found a warm spot on the bed, curled up, and fell asleep.

Usagi took her time in the shower. She wanted to wash away all the ick that she felt from the dream. She still loved Mamoru, but she knew that she was not going to put her life on hold for him just so he could go to school overseas.

'I am not going to ruin my fun over what happened with Mamoru. I am going to move on and be happy.' Usagi thought to herself as she turned the water off. She got out of the shower and dried herself off. She got her school uniform on and headed downstairs for breakfast. She saw the all to familiar scene of her mother in the kitchen cooking breakfast.

"Good morning mom." Usagi said as she took her seat at the table.

"Oh good morning Usagi, you are up earlier than usual." Ikuko said bringing Usagi some breakfast.

"I have a test today and I wanted to ask the teacher a few questions before hand," Usagi lied. She did not want to tell her mother the real reason as to why she was up earlier.

"Good for you sweetheart. I am so proud of the way you are growing up. You are really turning out to be a beautiful young lady."

"Thank you mom, I really appreciate it. Now if you don't mind, I should be going now, I want to ace that test."

"Okay Usagi, have a good day." Ikuko called out as Usagi left the house.

'Now what am I going to do? I have all this time and nothing to do with it.' Usagi thought as she headed toward school. 'Ami-chan is usually there early reading, maybe she is there now.' Usagi picked up her pace a bit and headed to school. When she got there the place was very quiet with only a few students here and there.

Usagi got to her class where she saw Ami. Just as Usagi thought, she was reading a book about something, she was unable to make out the title on the book. Regardless of what Ami was reading, Usagi headed towards her.

"Good morning Ami-chan." Usagi said taking the seat next to Ami.

"Oh good morning Usagi-chan. What are you doing here so early?" Ami asked. Usagi was always on time for school, but she was never this early for class.

"I had a pretty weird nightmare last night that woke me up. When my mom asked me why I was up so early I lied and told her that I had a test and that I wanted to go over a few things with the teacher."

"What was the dream about?" Ami questioned putting her book away. Usagi saw that the book was on medicine. A subject that Ami hopes to pursue in the future.

"I had a dream about Mamoru getting married." Usagi said.

"Why is that a nightmare, I thought that you loved having dreams of you and Mamoru getting married." Ami said.

"Well yeah that would be fine and dandy had I been the bride in my dream." Usagi said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"You mean to tell me that you had a dream of Mamoru getting married to another woman?" Ami asked in shock.

"You know Ami, I thought that you were supposed to be the smart one of the group. You should be able to figure that out," Usagi joked. She just looked at Ami who was starting to get a blush to her cheeks.

"I'm sorry Usagi-chan, it was just that it caught me off guard, that's all. Are you okay?"

"Yeah I am fine. I told myself that I am going to move on. I am not going to put my life on hold just because Mamoru is in America. It is truly over between the two of us. I am ready to move on and see where life takes me. Plus that just means that us girls will have more time to do all the cool things." Usagi said, confidence in her voice as she looked at Ami.

"That is a good attitude to have Usagi, at least you have a positive outlook on this situation."

"Yeah, that is what I think is the best thing to do. This will also allow me to apply myself to school. Hey wouldn't that be so cool if we were both the valedictorians of our graduating class?" Usagi asked, getting excited.

"That would be the best! Two great friends like you and I together like that on our night of graduation," Ami said wiping away a tear that was forming in the corner of her eye.

"Ami-chan why are you crying?" Usagi asked. "This is a happy time, no tears."

"Do you know how happy I am to have a great friend like you. You saw me for who I am not some bookworm who did not have a life. I love you Usagi-chan, I am so happy that you are my friend. You really are the sweetest person I have ever met."

"Oh Ami-chan you are going to make me cry too," Usagi said getting misty eyed. She gave Ami a hug and smiled. "I love you too Ami-chan, it really makes me feel important that I have such great friends like yourself." The two separated from their hug to see that it was almost time for class. Only thing was that Ami, Usagi, the teacher, and one other student was in the room.

"What is going on? Shouldn't everybody be here for class?" Usagi said looking at the teacher.

"Well it seems that we are going to have some new students in the school. They seem to be popular because that is where everybody is right now."

"Do you know who the new students are?" Ami asked now interested in the new conversation.

"I do, but I think that you can wait and see for yourself who they are." The teacher said going back to what she was doing.

"Well that was very informative," Ami said, "she could have at least told us who these people are. I mean it is not like the Three Lights are… going… to… walk… in." Ami said then went completely taken by surprise when it was in fact the Three Lights standing in the doorway.

"You were saying Ami-chan," Usagi said, a playful smile creeping up on her lips. She was just as surprised to see them in the same room as Ami was.

"Okay class as you may already know, these three gentlemen are going to be attending our school. I am sure that they would like to be treated no differently than everybody else. Now if you three could take your seats, class is about to start. Taiki, you sit in the desk next to Miss Ami. Ami could you raise your hand." Ami timidly raised her hand as a blush crept on her cheeks. "Yaten, you will sit next to Minako." Without instruction, Minako's hand shot straight up in the air. "Thank you miss Aino. That leaves you Seiya. You may take a seat next to Usagi. Usagi could you raise your hand please."

"That isn't necessary sensei, I already know who Usagi is, I will take my seat now," Seiya said heading towards his seat next to Usagi. Usagi felt her face get hot as she watched Seiya take the empty seat next to hers. "Well it seems that we have class together. I wonder what else we will have together."

"It is really nice to see you again. I still must thank you for listening to me the other night, you really are a sweet person." Usagi said. Something inside her was going crazy just looking at him. 'I never had this kind of a feeling before when I was around Mamoru. Maybe what I said to Luna before was right, the future isn't set in stone.'

"Are you still on Earth Usagi?" Seiya asked snapping Usagi out of her thoughts.

"Hmm? Oh yes I am still here, why do you ask?"

"You were staring off into space. What were you thinking?"

"Would you two please be quiet and pay attention, we have a lot of material to cover and not a whole lot of time to do it in." The sensei said getting the class back to order.

"We will finish this conversation after school. Will you meet with me?" Seiya whispered to Usagi.

"Yes I will meet you, where would you like to go?" Usagi whispered back.

"Meet me outside after school, we will go from there." Seiya said trying to make it look like he was paying attention.

"Won't you be mobbed by all the girls after school?"

"Don't worry, my brothers know how to get rid of the herd."

"Oh okay then, I will meet you outside after school, now I really should be paying attention to what Ms. Haruna is teaching." The rest of the class went by fast. Usagi soon found out that Seiya was in every one of her classes. It made the day go by fast, not to mention very interesting. Somehow, Seiya sat next to her in every class. That really made Usagi start to wonder if Seiya somehow planned this all to happen.

In the last hour of the day, Usagi took a glance at Seiya. She had to admit he was handsome. With his long black hair neatly pulled back in a ponytail. His eyes held a sparkle to them that she really liked. He had nice smooth creamy looking skin. Something inside Usagi yearned to reach out and touch his face. To Usagi, Seiya was very intriguing. She felt her stomach doing flip-flops. 'Since when do I get flip-flops in my stomach? This has never really happened to me before.' Usagi was again lost in her thoughts that she forgot that she was staring at Seiya.

Seiya noticed that Usagi was staring at him and decided to stare back. The lesson for the day was over and the sensei allowed the students to talk as long as it didn't get too loud. About a minute later, Usagi awoke from her daydream to see Seiya staring at her. Usagi knew that she was caught and began to blush a deep crimson. She looked at the clock on the wall, which told her that she had about three minutes left.

"I am sorry, I was staring again wasn't I?" Usagi whispered. It was rather hard for her to get her words to form right; her tongue did not want to work for her today.

"Yes you were. You want to tell me what you were thinking just now?"

'Okay Usagi be brave, just tell him that you think that he is the most gorgeous person you have ever met.' "Oh I was just thinking of the events that have taken place today." 'Chicken,

you could at least tell him that he is good looking.' "One question though, did you plan to be in every class with me or was that sheer coincidence?" 'Well I guess you can tell him when you two are together after school.'

"You want to know my secret huh? Well you will just have to wait until later today to find out. There is only like a minute left before we can go off to wherever."

"Why do I get this funny feeling that you already have this whole day planned?"

"Cause maybe I do, maybe I don't," Seiya said as the bell to dismiss class rang. "You will just have to wait and see." Seiya said as he stood up offering his hand to Usagi. Usagi couldn't help but to blush at his show of affection. She took his hand and stood up. They both walked down the hall where they met up with Yaten and Taiki. They both could see the angry glances that were given to Usagi being with the three. Yaten found this amusing and couldn't help but to laugh a little at the actions that were being shown.

From behind, Makoto, Minako, and Ami were making their way to the four. Usagi noticed them coming and waved them over.

"Hello there guys, how was the rest of your day?"

"Pretty good, although I really don't remember anything that went on," Minako said scratching her head.

"Someone in my cooking class blew up a stove, made a huge mess. Other than that the rest of my day went okay." Makoto said, finding pieces of the disaster that took place earlier in her hair.

"Well my day went the same as it always does. I have a lot of catching up to do. I have been slacking off a bit and now I am only five chapters ahead of the class." Ami said in worry.

"Only five Ami-chan? How can you sleep at night?" Minako said sarcastically.

"Hey Usagi aren't you going to introduce us to your friends?" Seiya whispered into Usagi's ear.

"Oh yeah. Minna, I would like to introduce you to each other. This is Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki Kou." Usagi said pointing to each respectfully. "This is Mizuno Ami, Kino Makoto, and Aino Minako." Usagi said also pointing to each as she introduced them. "There is one more, but she goes to a different school. I am sure you will meet her down the road someday, that is if you would like to.

"Yes, that would be nice." Taiki said smiling at Usagi. There was definitely a shine from her that was so different from the rest.

"I am sure that we can find time to meet this other friend of yours." Yaten said also with a smile. There was no mistake, this girl was special somehow. Yaten could feel it, and it felt nice.

"Well if you would excuse us, Usagi and I are going to do something together." Seiya said, as he saw the faces of those who were listening in get ugly with anger. He couldn't help but smile at this. Offering his arm he turned to Usagi, "Ready to go m'lady?" Usagi smiled and took his arm. Together they each walked out of the school and towards the park. It was the same park that Usagi poured her heart out to Seiya.

They headed towards the small lake that was in the middle of the park and sat down on the soft grass under the warm sun. Seiya glanced over at Usagi and was amazed. Usagi looked so beautiful and peaceful with the way the sun was shining off her. Her hair glistened as if it was woven from the finest gold. She just sat there basking in the warmth of the sun, enjoying herself. Seiya was truly amazed by this girl.

Usagi felt eyes on her and turned to look at Seiya. "So are you going to tell me everything now, or am I still going to have to wait?"

"What is it that you would like to know?"

"Well one, why is it that you managed to be in all of my classes?"

"When you told me your name at the airport that one day, I was determined to find out about you. When I saw you again at this park, you were wearing your school uniform so that really helped find out where you went to school. The day I went to register for my classes, I said that I had something for you and that I need to know what class you were in. Well I was lucky to get your whole schedule. I registered for the same classes that you were in and that is how we are in all the same classes. The rest my dear is history."

"Why me of all the other people out there? What makes me so special?"

"You are different from any other girl I have met Usagi. You hold something special that makes you shine. Well I think you are pretty also." Seiya said. He looked at Usagi who was starting to get a blush in her cheeks.

"Thank you Seiya, that is very sweet of you."

"So now it is my turn to ask the questions! What were you thinking when I caught you staring at me in class today?" Seiya asked, a sly tone in his voice. He noticed how Usagi shifted a bit nervously as he waited for an answer.

"Okay to tell you the truth, I think you are cute. I never had the chance to meet a celebrity before. Never in my dreams did I think that I would have the same classes with you or that I would be sitting here in the park by the lake with you. However, I have to be honest with you. I just got out of a long relationship with a man that I really loved…"

"Usagi, I am not saying that we are to start dating right now. I want to become friends with you. Maybe a few dates here and there, just to see what may happen. To tell you the truth, I am not ready to have a relationship right now. There is so much going on in my life right now. With singing and such, I don't have time for a relationship. I just would not be able to devote my time to such a commitment."

"Well then it is settled. We are now friends. A few dates here and there, to test the waters, and see what may happen between the two of us, if anything. Well Seiya, I must be heading home, I have homework that I need to get done. You do too!! Will you walk with me to my house?"

"Usagi, I would love to. Shall we?" Seiya said as he got up off the ground. Helping Usagi to her feet the two starting walking in the direction of Usagi's house. About ten minutes later the two made it to the doorstep of Usagi's house.

"Thank you for keeping me company on my walk home. I really had fun talking to you in the park today. You are a really sweet person." Usagi said as she brushed a small kiss on his cheek.

"I will see you tomorrow in class then Usagi. Enjoy the rest of your day." With that Seiya turned around and started heading in the direction of the apartment where he and his brothers lived. He brought a hand to the cheek that Usagi kissed and smiled as he continued his walk home.

*5 Months Later*

Another day of class had gone by, and Usagi was walking home with Seiya. Over the past five months, they have started to grow closer to each other. Those two talked about everything, and Usagi knew that she could trust him. Once they reached Usagi's house they parted with a soft hug and a small kiss on the cheek. Usagi opened her door and waved to Seiya before entering her house. Seiya waved back and blew her a kiss, before heading home himself.

Usagi quietly went up to her room and started her homework. About a half an hour later she was done and started to re-live the day that she just had. She had never met somebody who was so interested in what she had to say, except the girls. 'It is time for me to get over you Mamoru. I think that five months is plenty of time to move on with my life.' Usagi thought to herself as she saw a picture of Mamoru and herself at the park. Usagi picked the picture up and looked at it. A small smile came across her lips as she remembered the times they once shared. Usagi quickly put the picture in a box as a frown replaced her smile. 'Yeah what we once shared.'

Usagi went around her room looking for anything that reminded her of Mamoru. Anything that she found was placed in the box with the picture. The box was small, no larger than a shoebox. Usagi looked in the box and all she saw in it was the picture, a dried rose, and

their locket. 'In all the years that we were together, this is all I have from him? Wasn't really big on gift giving.' Usagi took one last look around her room before placing the shoebox in her closet. Usagi took the first step towards her new life. Deciding that she needed some fresh air, Usagi thought that she would visit Rei.

Usagi headed downstairs, placed her shoes on her feet, and headed out the door. On her walk, Usagi thought back on all the times her and Rei got into one of their fights. Usagi got a little laugh on how hot she could get Rei. 'Oh the tongue wars we used to have. They were over the most childish things too.' Over the years, Usagi and Rei grew really close to another. When Usagi grew out of her childish ways and got her act together, Rei was the proudest of all. Usagi knew that if she ever needed to talk to somebody about anything, Rei was always the top person on her list.

Usagi saw the steps that led up to the shrine that housed the Shinto priestess. Usagi climbed the stairs and saw the familiar scene of Rei sweeping the path to the shrine.

"Kon'nichi wa Rei-chan." Usagi said as she reached the top of the staircase.

"Kon'nichi wa Usagi-chan, what are you doing here? There is nothing wrong right? No yoma attacks or anything like that? " Rei asked putting her broom away.

"Rei-chan, you know that there has been no attacks in over two years. The problems that we had are over. I needed to get out and get some fresh air. So, who better to come visit on a day like this than you?" Usagi said with a smile.

"Well I must be prepared you know, it is just my nature. Something that I just can't help."

"You would be able to know anyway if we were in danger, you have the sacred fire."

"True, and it hasn't told me anything about possible future enemies. So would you like to join me for some tea and biscuits?"

"That sounds nice. Do you think we should invite the girls to join us?"

"No. Let's just keep it you and me today. I think we should spend some time together to talk without the rest of the girls."

"Sounds nice."

"Besides this gives me a chance to talk to you about Seiya without Minako getting all starry eyed and talking about how cute the Three Lights are. Don't get me wrong, I think they are adorable, but not enough to interrupt a conversation over."

"Rei-chan are you trying to pry into my life?" Usagi said with a giggle giving Rei a sly look.

"Oh no, not me! Whatever makes you think that?" Rei said playfully. The two had a little laugh out of it before Rei went to get the tea and biscuits. About five minutes later Rei returned and the two enjoyed each others company.

"Rei-chan?" Usagi said quietly looking in her teacup.

"What is it Usagi-chan?" Rei questioned looking up from her cup.

"Do you miss all the fighting? I mean now that Galaxia has returned to her old self, everything is over. Do you miss not being able to transform into Sailor Mars?"

"Well I can still transform into Mars, but I know what you are getting at. There has been a few times, where I miss the fighting. However, to tell you the truth, I am glad that everything is really over. It gives us the chance to really be normal people and lead normal lives. What brought this up Usagi-chan?"

"I don't know really. I guess I fell into a routine and now it feels strange not having that routine anymore. I am happy that we aren't fighting anymore, I really am. One more question, I have been thinking about this recently."

"What is it Usagi-chan?"

"Have you ever given it any though as to who the Sailor Star Lights were? We never really got a chance to know who they really were."

"No, I haven't thought about it. In fact I am glad that they are gone. They were very odd, they never wanted to join up with us. I mean in the end they did help with the fight against Galaxia, but disappeared soon after. So, no, I haven't thought about them. What brought that up?"

"Oh I don't know, I was just wondering about them, around the time the Three Lights came to Tokyo." Rei perked up at the mention of the Three Lights and got a smile on her face.

"So, now tell me about Seiya. Any chance you two may hook up?"

"Rei-chan!!" Usagi squeaked. "Seiya and I are just friends. I mean it is possible, but not yet."

"Yeah I know that Usagi, but it has been five months already. I mean what do you think of Seiya?"

"He is really sweet. There is something about him though that really makes my heart race."

"So do you like him in return?"

"I don't know really. I mean there is something about him that makes me feel something different every time I see him."

"What about Mamoru? What are your feelings toward him?"

"I loved him. A little part of me still does, but he has hurt me too many times. I am moving on."

"With Seiya?" Rei asked jokingly. She was trying to rile up Usagi a bit.

"Yeah, maybe. Anything is possible." Usagi shot back. Rei was speechless. She did not know what to say to that. 'Mamoru and Usagi are still going to wind up together in the end, it was destiny. Wasn't it?' Rei thought in her moment of silence. She continued to look at Usagi who had the most serious look on her face. 'If anything was to change the future, we would have seen Pluto or Setsuna by now.'

"Rei-chan. Rei-chan, snap out of it." Usagi said shaking Rei back into reality.

"Oh I am sorry Usagi-chan." Rei said shaking off the last of her thought.

"Welcome back. What type of dream world were you just in? I was trying to get your attention for the last two three minutes."

"I don't know. I am sorry Usagi, maybe you're right. Maybe Minako-chan is wearing off on me, I am starting to daydream like she does."

"Well, it is about time I head home. I will talk to you later Rei-chan." Usagi said as she stood up.

"Okay Usagi. Thank you for stopping by to chat, it was nice."

"Yes it was, we should do it again. Only next time without all the questions about my personal life!" Usagi said and started to head out the door.

"You enjoyed it and you know it!" Rei said with a laugh. "Have a safe trip home, and enjoy the weekend."

"I will, see you later." Usagi said as she started her walk down the temple stairs. She walked down the streets that led to her house and made it home without a problem. Usagi walked in the house and slipped her shoes off.

"Hello, anybody home?" Usagi called into the house. Usagi walked toward the kitchen where she would for sure find her mom. Looking in the kitchen, Usagi noticed that her mother was not there and that there was a note on the counter. Usagi walked closer to the note and began to read it.

"Usagi, I had to run a few errands. Your father

is working late and your brother is over at a

friends house. A letter came for you today.

It is in your room on your desk. I will see you

in an hour, I love you.

Love Mom."

"Well that explains why nobody is home." Usagi said to herself. She decided to go up to her room to see what letter came for her and who sent it. Usagi opened her bedroom door and headed for her desk to find the letter that was said to be placed there. Usagi looked at it and found that there was no return address on it. 'Hmmm that's odd, I wonder who sent this to me.' Usagi opened the letter to find a ticket and a note. Usagi opened the note and started to read what it said.

Dear Usagi,

I am inviting you to see our concert that we are holding Saturday night.

The ticket also serves as a backstage pass so you can come see me when we

Seiya

Usagi looked at the ticket to see that her seat was front row center. 'Oh my wont the girls be jealous when they find this out.' Usagi thought as she placed the concert ticket in a safe spot. Usagi decided to do her homework so it was out of the way. She wanted to enjoy the weekend without worrying about homework. As soon as she finished, a knock was heard on the front door. 'Mom must need help getting in the house.' Usagi thought as she headed downstairs to answer the door. The person on the other side of the door wasn't Usagi's mom, but another visitor that shocked Usagi.

"Setsuna-san, what brings you here?"

"I came to talk to you Princess, things have changed."
