Author's Note: This is yet another take on the 100 themes of love challenge. I have the time to write little squibble whie I'm working, though it's hard to find time to type them up.. Please let me know what you think, and I'll continue adding drabbles every now and then on different themes. I have a couple not typed up yet.
And to all my loyal readers ( I actually used to have those til I abandoned them for real life!), I deeply apologize for not updating TLTE. I've been swamped by school and work, and trying to run the house. Luckily my problematic roomate is moving out next week, so I'll probably feel like writing more. I have most of the next chapter written up, I just need to get to typing it. I really apologize for not updating as I promised I would, and I know it's been a long time. I'll definitely get that next chapter up as soon as possible, I promise. Thanks for sticking with me guys - it's nice to know someone appreciates you in this world )

An article in the Tokyo Tribune on October 15th, in the personals section:

October 17th:

October 23rd:
Moonlight Maiden seeks Masked Man for heart-to-heart. Must enjoy midnight walks by the Bay and blue carnations.
On Halloween, Usagi stood in front of her full-length mirror, straightening the dress of the princess costume she was going to wear to the Tokyo Bay Halloween Ball that was being held downtown. Butterflies flitted in her stomach as her hands brushed the silky white material. She reached up and straightened her matching white mask that hid her features – a delicate thing of satin and pearls, with upswept feathers at the corners.
Her heart fluttered in her chest as she realized it was almost time to go, and she carefully pinned a blue carnation near the top of her dress. Tonight she would finally find a resolution to that face that followed her in her dreams endlessly in the nights she found sleep. Her reflection smiled back at her, the excitement building. She would finally see the face behind the mask.
