I do not own Sailor Moon

The Park was filled with with the smell of cool air, autumn foliage
and roasted chestnuts.
A beautiful blonde woman walked trough the foliage, in front of her walked two cats, one was white the other one black.
They stopped and started playing with the foliage.
The young woman, 22 years old, stood next to them. Her long blonde hair that was tied up in a

dark-red ribbon and fell slinky on her shoulders . Her blue eyes sparkled in mirth as she watched the two cats playing. She was waiting for a person. Someone she has loved once.

And someone she was sure to spend the rest of her lifetime with.

"Ara, you´re here already, I expected you to come 15 minutes too late, like you always did!"
She turned to the person. His green eyes hit her blue ones.
"Ara,what a nice greeting, sarcastically like always!" she beefed playfully.
"So what was it, you wanted to talk about?" he asked her leaning again a tree.
He wore a brown cap over his long long silver hair tied up in a ponytail, dark pants and a dark-brown jacket fitting his slim body perfectly.
"It´s because Taiki´s and Ami´s wedding next month. You know, they want us to perform something." she said endeavored to sound casual.
"Something...a poem, a stage play, a musical..??" he said, while he watched the people around them.
"No..it´s a song...a duet!" her voice was quiet as she said the last word.
He laughed out. "A duet, well that could be funny anyway!" he shook his silver-blond head

with the cap on it and smiled scoffingly.
"I knew it. I knew, you would laugh!" she said rather angry just to hide the offended tone in her voice.
He chuckled. "I´m not laughing at it, I´m just amused. Still can´t understand, that they want to marry. I mean Ami is a woman, I guess ever woman wants to marry, but Taiki..." he laughed in disbelief.

"I never expected him to marry...at least so young."

Minako played with her blue muffler. "I know, I was suprised, too."

Yaten braced his foot against the tree.

"And I´m wondering why they picked us, I mean, Seiya can sing with Usagi as well...

though it would be a comedy-performance then".
She didn´t say anything, he wondered, if he hurt her.
So he straightend and layed one hand on her shoulder.
"allright, I understood, just tell me the song they want us to sing."
She frowned "Don´t know, they haven´t decided,yet".
Green orbs focused on a long golden strand on her shoulder.
"I guess, it will be defintely a -"
"No, not exactly!" she interrupted him rashly.
Lovesong, that´s what he wanted to say. But she wouldn´t let him say that, because
it would make the mood more confusing.
"You know" she continued "They are Ami and Taiki not Usagi and Seiya or Mako and Motoki. They don´t need that emotional stuff. Maybe they want just a neutral song."
"neutral...I see..."
His hand lowered towards her upper arm and his fingers were playing with the soft cashmere of her jacket. "Isn´t that the jacket I endowed you for Christmas last year?"
"It is" she said, avoiding his eyes and concentrating on a leaf dancing in the cool autumn wind.

His green eyes studied her blue ones with an unreadable gaze.
That caused Minako frown.
Damn, he was always so endeavored to be cool and ignorant and now he stood here with his hand wrapped around her arm and studied her so intently.
It was him who has broken off with her after all.
So what´s the damn point of that?
Then his look turned cool again. "allright, if there´s nothing else..."

"How are things going, did you find somebody?" Mina asked rashly.

He sighed and looked to the sky. "Not actually...I´m gonna meet someone in about 15 minutes."

He glanced at her briefly. "But that´s not serious. I´m not interested in a new relationship, yet.

What about you? Do you have someone?"

She made little crosses with her nails inside her hand. "No one particular. Just for fun".

She was suprised, about the way this conversation was going.

Yaten studied her. Then looked at his watch. "I see...allright, I have to go now."

Minako swallowed. "Oh yes, your date" she winked at him.

Yaten gave her a hug. "Just call me,when they pick a song."

She nodded.

"Bye"

"Bye"

Then he was gone in a haze of coolness and melancholy.

The autumn leaves seemed to follow him.

Minako stared at her boots. A strange longing filled her heart.

She even didn´t notice Artemis and Luna who returned from their play.

Her eyes focused on the autumn sun. 'That´s the way it is' she thought to herself.

A smile appeared on her peach-colored lips.

That´s life.
