The year was 1991, saturday a summer ever so hot.

A girl about 4'8 in height swung her blonde-almost silver like pigtails held up by two perfectly round buns to her back. Her stomache grumbled a bit and she placed her hand over her tummy . " Oh .... me so hungie....". The auborn haired girl standing beside her only giggled at her terrible choice of words.

" Usagi, if you were so hungry why didn't you stop by that store we were at a few minutes ago? " her cheerful expression was so heartfelt." I wasnt hungry then, naru" she sighed and closed her eyes hoping her hunger wouldnt last. Naru slapped her hand gently onto her bestfriends shoulder " Usa-chan , want to go get some ice cream?" she smiled at her. This girl was her bestfriend since they were 3rd graders, Naru was the probably the only truest, kindest, and most understanding friend she ever had nothing would get in the way of their frienship . Nothing-.usagi thought to herseslf returning the smile to her dear friend. Light footsteps were trotting closer to them and a voice very familer hollared at them. "SWEET-MAIDEN- NARU!"both girls turned towards the voice . "-Nothing but Umino"she said out loud without thinking. Naru eyes widened as she saw her boyfriend run foward at them , she faced usagi with a question before he burst in " did you say something Usagi?" usagi shut her eyes and shook her head "nope , nothing at all".

"Umino?! you seem tired, whats up?" naru patted the dirt ou of his outfit. " Oh sweet fair naru," he panted a bit from all the running. " I was running all the way to catch up to you... to...- bring you this!"his hands opened up and he held a blue-green satin ribbion. usagi had wandered off to a bench under a tree supporting her with some shade to cool off from the hot sun."oh! my ribbion where was it?" her hand slid over his and shedlowly grabbed it. Umino slightly tilted his head over to the distracted bunny- like girl who was using her hand as a fan.Quickly he grimaced and then turned a brilliant red "Oh , well last night you left it there"Naru flushed as well at the thought. "ah... now I remember I told my mother it was for summer toturing ,..a night to remember." she giggled and pecked a kiss onto his face.

Meanwhile a bored usagi fanned herself air. "Lovebirds...oh, I wish I had a boyfriend that I could rantabout like naru. Hmphf. Unfair...look at Naru's face all red... hmmmm seems awfully suspicious..heehee." Usagi got ot her detective usagi expression out ready to get to buisness, after all she was the cupid in all of thisd right? She snuck up behind the two majorly blushing couple and listened in. "last night was quite pleasent"

Umino nodded and pulled closer to him. "Very magical ,Naru"he whispered slowly.his eyes flashed open then he placed anoth light kiss on her cheek. " I better get going.. I have an oppointment at .." he trailed off into nothing."He seemed almost so distracted for that one moment.". She let out a long tired sigh. "Naru.... it almost seemed as if you didnt even want to let him go." warm slender arms wrapped around her best friend "usagi! d..did you hear our conversation!" naru pulled away and lowered her face in disgrace. "Naru you've been spending alot of time with Umino but I never really paid much attention to what you were really doing..." usagi looked sincere into her eyes her beautiful hail blue eyesmet with her friends eyes shedding many tears. "usagi" she whispered "yes?" ....a long gap of silence occured then naru held back her sniffles facingg foward her chin up high. "I'm...pregnant...." usagi's arms only wrapped around her friends body and she held her tight "who else knows this naru?"she whispered to her friend but it only lead to more silence. Usagi backed away and she looked at her friend "It's only me?...isn't?" the words stabbed Naru in the heart as she slowly nodded her face.

In front of a ratty old wooden dojo was a beauitully matured looking girl ,she was tall and thin a very well figured girl with light brown wavy flowing hair tied up in a rubberband , her eyes were an emerald shade. This place was always giving free lessons to thosee who wanted to participate in these fun activites duiring the summer. Since her flowershop was closed early evertime around summer she had a free day. She pushed the doors open and saw the same familer face every summer she wandered towards the man to greet him. "Sensei Kakusui ,it's good to see you again"she bowed polietly towards the aged man he was such a brilliant fighter his techniques were quite exsquisite but now he'd aged .A couple years back when she was younger he had shown her a few pictures when he too was practicing to be a good fighter. he was young and handsome but he had his hair shaved off ,..he had mentioned it was a family tradition, on the mens side anyways. she smiledat the man and he smiled back cupping his hands around hers"Oh, Dear student Makoto, You've returned again." his smile spread and it seemed to be contagious because once he smiled he smile widened even more. "yes, I have"she laughed cheerfullyhe looked over his shoulder and pulling his hand away from hers signalling someone to head to where she and him stood. Brown hair that was as wavy as hers ,and yet still richly dark ,and healthy ,brown deep eyes,and slightly tanned skin walked over in their direction he bowed to his father and the newcomer. His face so serious yet so beautiful.
