A/N This was my very first fanfic. I haven't been on in a long while, and now I am going to try to get back into the swing of things and hopefully get plenty of new fanfics up and complete some older ones. This one is a few years old; please let me know what you think. All comments are welcome!!

Two Sides to Everything

Chapter 1: The Dream

Usagi was standing by the calm waters of the lake nearby when the sky became dark and cloudy. The wind began to blow hard and the water was no longer calm. Usagi looked toward the sky to see black storm clouds begin to swirl and form a funnel cloud. She watched as the funnel cloud slowly touched the ground, when it began to disappear back to the sky; it revealed a young woman who collapsed to the ground as the funnel vanished. The storm was gone as quickly as came.

Usagi woke to the sun beaming in her face and sluggishly, she walked down the stairs and sat at the table for breakfast. Her mother set a plate full of pancakes in front of her, which she began to quickly eat.

When Usagi was fully awake, she couldn't help but to think of the unusual dream she had last night. A girl from a funnel cloud? She thought to herself a little more and decided that she would go talk to Rei about it.

Usagi was almost completely out of breath by the time she was at the top of the many temple stairs. When she reached the top step she could hear Rei's voice and see Chad running around like a maniac agreeing to Rei's every word.

"Yes, Rei, yes, Rei. Anything you say, Rei!"

"Now, go clean the floors."

"Yes, Rei."

"Oh, Reeeiiii! I need to talk to you."

"Huh? Oh, hi Usagi! What do you need to talk about?"

"I have to tell you about this really weird dream I had last night."

"Let's go to my room, and you can tell me all about it."

"Wow, that was an unusual dream, Usagi."

"Yeah, I came to tell you because you interpret dreams, and I thought maybe you could tell me what it meant."

"Well, it could mean one of two things. Either you had a vision or something big in your life is about to happen."

"Something big, huh? Hmm. I don't know what could happen to be so big in my life. I kinda doubt it was a vision, you are the one that has those, not me. Well, I'm about to go to Ami's house, you wanna come, too?"

"Nah, I can't right now, spring cleaning. I'll be over a little while later, though."

"OK. Well, I'll see you later. Bye!"

Usagi left Rei thinking to herself in her room. Could Usagi have had a vision? And if so, who was the girl? She pondered these questions over and over in her mind.

Ami sat at her computer writing in her notebook, glancing up to the computer screen every now and then. She had just set her pencil down when the doorbell rang. She looked through the peephole in her door to see Usagi rocking back and forth on her feet, staring up at the ceiling.

Ami opened the door, "Is there something interesting on the ceiling, Usagi?"

"I saw a spot. Thought it might have been a spider. I'm afraid of spiders."

"You're afraid of everything."

"Am not. Bunnies don't scare me," she said, sticking out her tongue.

Ami laughed, "I'd surely hope not."

"So what are you doing?"

"A report."

"A report?! But it's Saturday. You're supposed to relax and sleep in and go out with friends, not school work."

"I just wanted to get it out of the way, but since you're here, I'll stop for now. Why don't you have a seat on the couch? I'll go get us some drinks and cookies I made earlier."

When Ami returned, Usagi smiled as she carried a plate of sugar cookies. As Usagi gulped down the cookies, she told Ami about her dream.

"You are an odd individual, Usagi. I think you are the only one who could dream of a girl coming from a funnel cloud."

"Yeah, I know. Oh, it's 1:00. I'm supposed to meet Mamoru at 1:30. I'm sorry to leave like this, but I got to go. Thanks for the cookies, they were great!"

Ami watched Usagi leave and disappear around the corner, then she returned to writing her report.

"Mamoru!"

"There you are, Usagi! I missed you," Mamoru said as Usagi ran into his arms, giving him a loving kiss. "So what have you been doing today?"

As Usagi told him about going to Rei and Ami's houses and her dream, they walked along the clear water of the lake and sat at one of the park benches. They talked for a few more minutes about each other's day.

"Isn't today so nice? It's perfect out. It's quiet and peaceful, and the sky is so blue," Usagi, relaxing, put her head back and stared at the sky, "beautiful weather."

Mamoru watched Usagi, "Yeah, beautiful," he said, not talking about the weather.

As the sat, Usagi felt the wind begin to pick up. It blew harder and harder.

"Where did this wind come from?" Mamoru asked out loud. Suddenly, black clouds started forming in the sky, and just like in Usagi's dream, they began to swirl.
