"I'm soooooo late, Ms H is gonna give me a weeks detention for sure" Usagi could be heard wailing as she dashed down the street with a piece of toast in her hand. Crash, toast flying and arms flailing wildly as she fell to land soundly on her butt on the not so soft sidewalk. "Ouch that hurt. I'm sooo sorry" Usagi said as she started to get up. "Meatball head next time watch where your going." Said you know who as he offered a hand to help her up.
"Mamoru Baka go away now I'm sooo late I don't have time to deal with you." She said as she swatted his proffered hand away and got up taking off once again.
As he watched the blond dash off he thought to himself 'I wish I was the one she was running to, not away from' "Whoa where did that come from?" He asked himself aloud after a few shocked seconds he forgot all about where he was going, his mind filled with a vision of a yellow headed goddess, until he was jerked back to reality when a kindly old lady asked if anything was the matter and he remembered that he had somewhere to be and he'd be late if he didn't hurry.

Everyone in the classroom turned to the doorway as they could hear the sound of sneakers skidding to a halt outside the door just before the bell was about to ring, Followed by the appearance of a blond, out of breath, Odango Atama who quickly proceeded to her desk with a relieved look on her face. She sat next to her red haired friend molly just as the bell rang signalling the start of class. Ms Huruna stood there staring at the blond speechless when Melvin spoke up.
"Ms Huruna is it true that next week there is a field trip to the Tokyo Botanical gardens."
With a jerk she seemed to snap back to reality "yes that's right, thanks for reminding me Melvin. Now since no one was late for a change I've decided to extend the due date for your reports till next week so you can go over them and make them better. Now as for the trip you guys know the rules and I have to have these permission forms back by Friday or you won't be going so here they are." She said and passed out the papers. "Now don't loose them because I'll charge you ten cents for another. Now the trip is to examine the variety of roses for as you know the gardens are the only place in the world where the Moonlight rose will grow. I know you all know the ledged behind the rose but I'll tell it to you again for fun.
As you all know it happened long long ago. She was a Beautiful Princess and he a Handsome Prince. They were secretly in love but were forced to meet in secret because their countries were currently in peace talks after the long war against a great evil. To announce their love meant to upset the delicate balance of power their parents had worked so hard to achieve and throw the world back into war. To strengthen the peace treaty her handsome prince had been taken away from her forever by a forced marriage to a beautiful but greedy, clingy and ill-tempered woman. To further separate them she was soon to be engaged to wed the wealthy Duke Diamond, who had always had his greedy eye on her and her title and the only man she despised.
When the peace treaty was signed the Queen of Lunari the princess's mother had a ball to celebrate and to announce her daughter's engagement. Needless to say it was not to last long because the evil that had swept the land was not yet banished merely gathering strength while waiting for the opportune time to strike.
The night of the ball arrived and the two lovers had secretly planned to meet each other halfway through in a secret and closed off section of the infamous palace rose gardens. They managed to get away and meet finally and probably for the last time. The princess was to be married in two days and Diamond was known for his jealous suspicions. As they sat together gazing into each others eyes the handsome prince pulled out a beautiful star locket from his pocket and gave it to her as a symbol of their everlasting love. The two looked up and gazed at the beauty of the full moon, their gazes were finally drawn back together and their lips finally met in a passionate and gentle kiss. The broke apart after a few minutes breathless, the ground shook and the world around them exploded into chaos. The two caught unawares were killed instantly in the first attack and after the battle they were found in each others arms dead. The only thing still alive in within the vicinity of the first explosion was one small rose plant with only one rose bud not yet open that was caught and protected between the two lovers. The locket was no where to be found and it is said that when the two find each other in another life then the locket will appear as proof of their love. The rose finally bloomed on one summers evening when the moon was full once again. It shone a beautiful silver and wilted at the end of the night. And since that day the roses planted in that area will only bloom on the night of the full moon but only the rose of that rose bush when it blooms, is silver. Some interesting facts you might not know about is that whenever someone touches the plant the spot they touch weather they are wearing gloves or not will turn brown. Another thing they tried to grow clippings of the plant and the clippings just wilted the second after they were cut. They had also tried to clone it by using the DNA gathered from the clipping but the result was just some ordinary rose bush. Now it's time to correct your math homework. Everyone pass your papers two seats back and let's get started." A collective groan came from the class as they handed their papers back as instructed and the normal schoolwork started.

The day of the field trip had finally arrived and Usagi was so excited that she couldn't get back to sleep. She finally got fed up and got up to get ready for the trip and possibly stop by the arcade to see Andrew before school started. With that thought Usagi was ready for school in record time and hopped down the stairs to see the bewildered stare of her mother.
"Usagi Chan are you feeling alright? You're not sick are you? Maybe you should stay home today." She was going to continue on but Usagi interrupted.
"Mom you're forgetting that today is the field trip to the Tokyo gardens and I was so excited I couldn't sleep in like I usually do. So I'll see you later mom I'm stopping by the arcade before school since I'm up early enough. Love you bye." She said as she ran out the door. Mrs. Tsukino sighed 'I don't think I'll ever understand that girl of mine' she thought the turned around and ran into the kitchen to save the eggs she was cooking for breakfast.

Usagi in her excitement ran down the street to the arcade and as usual not looking where she was going ran into a pole. Thud. "Usagi are you okay?" A somewhat familiar but panicked voice called.
"Yeah I think I'm okay but ahhhh not good pretty birdies."She said as she had tried to stand up.
"No you are most definitely not okay I'm taking you to the arcade so I can have a better look at you. Meatball head you shouldn't move to quickly so I'll carry you okay." He said as he gently picked her up off the ground and carried her princess style to the arcade.
After five minutes her vision cleared enough to recognize the person caring her. "Mamoru Baka what are you doing." She asked in a shocked voice secretly cursing herself for not thanking him.
"Isn't it obvious Meatball head, I'm carrying you. You got a nasty bump on the head from running into the pole so I'm going to carry you to the arcade so I can take a look at you and NO arguments. Were almost there then I'll put you down." He said as he strode down the street. They both secretly wished that they could stay that close but nether would ever admit it to anyone especially themselves.
"Mamoru." Usagi said as they approached the arcade doors. "Thank you."
"No problem Odango Atama

I heard the chime in the back indicating customers. I knew it was Darien so I poured his morning hot chocolate, which I had ready, and walked out into the arcade.

As Andrew came out of the back carrying my usual morning hot chocolate I laid Usagi down on the bench. Crash. I turned around and saw Andrew standing there gaping at me with a puddle of brown liquid on the floor. "Andrew are you okay? What's wrong?" Andrew shook his head out of a daze and said "Sorry about your hot chocolate Mamoru and yes I'm fine. I go make another one for you and does Usagi want anything." "Oh no Usagi. Andrew I need some cold compresses and a mini flashlight if you have one." "What's wrong Mamoru?" Andrew asked glancing towards Usagi who was still lying on the bench. "Well lets just say that I'm allot nicer to run into than a lamp post." I said as I strode over to the sleeping angel.

Andrew came back a few minutes later with all the things I asked for and a towel. "Usagi wake up the bus is leaving." I said thinking that maybe her sleep was due to the fact that she didn't get to sleep in like she usually did.
"Go away Endy you can take me after I wake up"
I was shocked speechless, what was she talking about and who was this Endy person. I felt a flash of I don't know what so I dismissed the feeling and decided to concentrate on waking Usagi up.
"Usagi, come on you have to wake up." I repeated hoping that this time I could get through to her.
"Endy I don't wanna, so go away. And who is Usagi." She replied. I was very worried now. She didn't even remember her own name. This is not good. I turned to see Andrews's worried face and decided that it's time to call someone for help."
"Andrew, call her house and tell her mom that Usagi Has a concussion and I'm taking her to the hospital to have her checked out. It's the one right by the Tokyo rose gardens."
"Ohhh nooooo I'm gonna miss the bus" Usagi yelled as she jumped up before ether of us could stop her she was out the door screaming her goodbyes."
I turned to Andrew, "well I'll go after her to make sure she's all right but phone her school and tell them she's on the way. Kay. Gotta go. And thanks again Andrew." I said as I rushed after the two golden meatballs.
