"Odango," Seiya called bringing Usagi back to reality, " what are you watching?"

Usagi looked up at his sapphire eyes as if finding her way back to earth. "Oh, just a summer vacation me and some friends took five years ago," she replied with a smile.

"Five years ago, huh? Seems like only yesterday we were in high school," he chuckled.

Usagi nodded with content, she could not believe everything that has happened in the past two years. She managed to graduate high school and got accepted to the local college, a dream she never thought possible, she's passing all her classes, and lasted five years with her high school sweet heart, Seiya. Her friends all had their lives well planned, too. Ami went off to Germany to study medicine and follow her mothers' footsteps, Minako made it big in Hollywood and is on her world tour, Makoto is going to culinary school in hopes of being a chef and opening a restaurant, and Rei is living comfortably after she inherited the Hikawa Shrine.

"I miss how much fun we use to have," she said recalling the memories, "we didn't have a care in the world. When did reality hit?"

Seiya smiled at the blonde beauty, "You know there's a point in life when everyone grows up and goes their own way."

"I know," Usagi said reluctantly.

They continued watching the video of the summer they went to the beach. Seiya wasn't in Usagi's life at that point, they started her freshman year and his sophomore. He was never her preferred choice, but she wanted something serious after all the games and heartbreak she had that year. When Seiya appeared, they had so much in common that they just clicked immediately and started dating at the end of the school year. They have been together since and started living on their own after Usagi graduated.

"Who's that?" Seiya asked pausing the video and pointing at a young man, " I thought I knew all your friends."

"You do, that's Mamoru," Usagi answered, "you don't know him because he's not here anymore. He left to the army about a year ago. I haven't heard from him since we started going out."

" He's pretty good-looking, I'm surprised you didn't go out with him."

"You're not jealous are you?" She said jokingly, he gave her a stare. " I liked him and thought he was cute, but it wouldn't have worked out between us. We came from different worlds, he was like the big man on campus and I was the klutz." They both laughed at the last statement, " besides, I'm glad I ended up with you," she smiled at him.

He couldn't help but embrace her and kiss her lovingly.

Later that night Seiya went out with his friends Yaten and Taiki for a gig. They've been friends since kindergarten and started a band called the Three Lights a two years ago gaining money to support their life. Usagi went to every show, but couldn't tonight since she had to study for a humanities test tomorrow.

"I'm going now Odango," Seiya said to her picking up his car keys.

"Ok, break a leg. I'll be there with you in spirit," she replied as she put aside her laptop and raced to him to give him a hug.

"I wish you could actually be there," he told her with sadness in his voice, "are you are you can't bail on this?"

She gave him a stern look.

"Alright, alright. I'll be home soon," he said in defeat and kissed her forehead.

Usagi watched as Seiya took his leave and went back to studying.

"It's been two hours," Usagi said to herself looking at the clock, "I think it's time for a snack." She got up from the sofa with glee and sprinted to the kitchen. "Now what can I eat?" She questioned staring at the pantry. "I hear you, I hear you," she replied to her growling stomach and picked up the pace on preparing her noodles.

Usagi went back to the sofa with her noodles and grabbed her laptop. "I've studied so hard, I deserve a little break," she giggled. She started watching some videos on YouTube, then played solitaire while listening to some demos the Three Lights gave her. "I should get back to studying," she admitted. She went to grab her textbook, when suddenly a notification rang. She stopped reaching for her book thinking who would be messaging her at this time.

She stared at the box on the screen that read 'Message from Mamoru Chiba'.

"Mamoru?" She gasped.
