A.N: My first MWS story, there doesn't seem to be much of those... we'll have to fix that, won't we?

Luna and Chako

Sharla was nervous, even though she knew she had no reason to be. She had already decided that she'd do this, and to gather some courage she decided to start with the easy ones, Luna and Chako. Yesterday she had finally made up her mind, deciding to write a book about their adventures on planet Survive, but she felt that in order to do that she needed permission from everyone included. And of course the book would be more interesting if it had more point of views than her own, but she couldn't do that without some help. So now she was here, standing behind Luna's front door, her finger only inch away from the doorbell. Luna was her best friend, it shouldn't be this hard. So why was she so nervous? Was it because Chako was there too? No, probably not... but if she had this much trouble with just Luna, how nervous would she be with the others? She believed she could handle Bell and Shingo, but the others, especially Kaoru... she couldn't do this.

"Sharla? What are you doing here?" Sharla turned around, only to see Luna and Chako behind her. Judging from the bags they were carrying they'd been grocery shopping.

"Well I-I" Sharla swallowed, deciding that this had to be done "I need to talk to you two about something."

"Okay, but let's go in first" Luna said as she opened the door, holding it open for Chako and Sharla "Do you mind if we put the groceries away first tough?"

"Not at all" Sharla said, sitting down on Luna's sofa. It was too late for her to run away now; she had to do this. It wouldn't be that bad... but what if Luna said that she shouldn't write it? Well, if she did say so then Sharla wouldn't do it. She didn't want to upset her friend.

"So, what is it that you want to talk about?" Luna asked as she sat next to Sharla on the couch, giving her a soda which she took with thanks. Chako came too; sitting on Sharla's other side with a class of fruit juice in her paws. She glanced at Luna nervously, saying: "Well I... I've been thinking of writing a book."

"A book? What kinda book?" Chako asked, sipping her drink.

"A book about us"

"Us?" Luna and Chako repeated, confused. Sharla's face went a bit red as she said: "I mean about the eight of us and Adam, about our adventures on planet Survive."

"That's a great idea!" Luna said, clapping her hands together with sparkly eyes. Sharla was clad to hear that at least Luna agreed with her on this.

"That's our Fairytale Girl Sharla for ya!" Chako says. Sharla blushes, yelling at Chako: "Drop that nickname already!"

"That's great, Sharla" Luna said again "But there's something else too, isn't there? I mean you looked nervous earlier, so..."

"Yes, well..." Sharla started "I just thought I'd have to ask permission from everyone first; it wouldn't be fair to write a book about them if they didn't like it. And it wouldn't be so good if it was written from just my point of view, so I thought I'd ask everyone to help me with it."

"Sounds like fun; I'll help you all I can"

"Me too!" Chako said. Sharla smiled, saying: "I hope the others agree too."

"Of course they will I'm sure of it" Luna said "But they might want you to leave some things out..."

"Yeah, like Howard cryin' for his papa all the time" Chako said, starting to imitate the blond "Papa! Papa, save me!"

"That's mean Chako" Luna scolded, joining Sharla's laughter right after "It's not nice to laugh about someone's weaknesses!"

"You're the ones laughin'" Chako pointed out, getting up from the floor "I'll go and start makin' lunch."

When Chako was gone, Sharla turned to Luna again.

"I'm actually quite worried how the others will react..."

"You don't have to worry about Shingo and Bell; they'll love the idea" Luna said "Menori and Howard might need some convincing, but it shouldn't be too hard. And then the only one left is Kaoru..."

Luna trailed off, looking at Sharla. It seems that the silent boy was the one Sharla was the most worried about, and she knew it was for a good reason "Oh..."

"What if he gets angry about the idea?" Sharla voiced her thoughts "I wouldn't be surprised; not after what he told me back then at Fairy Lake..."

"Sharla..." Luna said, starting to wonder if she and Kaoru had ever cleared things out. She started to feel that they hadn't "Did Kaoru ever tell you the details of what happened?"

"N-no... not that I even asked. I..." Sharla trailed off, looking down. Luna, knowing what her friend had in mind, said: "You don't need to be afraid of him; Kaoru's a good person. He's just a bit gloomy sometimes. I'm sure he'll like your idea too."

"I know he is" Sharla said and she really did mean it. She had always been a bit wary of Kaoru, but while on planet Survive she had learned how deeply he cared for others. But that didn't stop his words at the Fairy Lake from echoing in Sharla's head.

"Should I ask from him in your place?" Luna asked suddenly. Sharla considered it for a moment, but decided against it. She couldn't always rely on Luna when something was hard for her. She had to do it on her own.

"No, I'll talk to him myself" Sharla decided "Tomorrow at school."

"You sure?" Luna asked and Sharla nodded. It was just Kaoru, their friend, so what could go wrong?

...she probably shouldn't think that.

"Will ya stay for lunch, Sharla?" Chako called from the kitchen suddenly, pulling Sharla out of her thoughts.

"Ah, yes, if it's not too much of a bother" She said.

"Not at all" Chako called back. Sharla turned to Luna again and they started to talk about the book Sharla would most likely write.

A.N: Just so you know, Sharla and the others are about 15 here and since I don't know how old they were at the end of the anime when Sharla finished her book, let's just say they were twenty. They are all still in the same school, with the exception of Bell. And as you probably guessed already, in the next chapter we'll see Kaoru. Oh, and about Chako's way of speaking... I'm not sure how it originally is, but at least in the subs I watched the show with she had some kind of accent and I tried to write that. I've always been bad with those tough.
