I Corinthians 13:4-7
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth
not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own,
is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in inquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all
things, endureth all things.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Usagi awoke to cold water being splashed on her face. "Ugh, uh,
just five more minutes mom." Honestly, how was a girl supposed to get
her beauty sleep if she was always getting up early? Especially, when
she was having such a wonderful dream! Rolling over, Usagi grabbed one
of the pillows and snuggled with it in an attempt to return to her
dream world. She sighed blissfully... until she was splashed again.
"Usa-chan! I am not your mother," Rei said exasperated. "Now
WAKE UP!!!"
Groaning, Usagi sat up on Rei's bed, rubbed her eyes, and
yawned.
"Gomen, Rei-chan, I just had the wierdest dream. Mamoru said
that he liked me and, uh, well, I don't remember the ending, but--"
Usagi trailed off.
"You odangoed-baka! That wasn't a dream it was real life!" Rei
snapped and handed a lavender colored towel to Usagi.
"Real... life?" Usagi paled and fell back onto the bed. 'Oh,
dear... Mamoru... He...' She groaned again.
"Yeah, you know, we got caught, you bugged Motoki, Motoki
snooped into Mamoru's personal life and we were eavesdropping?" Oh,
yes, Usagi knew alright. 'Mamoru... he...'
"Yeah, I remember. Wow! I can't belive 'Mamoru the Great'
actual has a thing for me!" Usagi squealed and sat up quickly. "Oh,
this is sooooooo great!"
"Usagi, do you have crush on Mamoru-san?" Rei questioned.
Usagi threw the unused towel at Rei.
"Of course not, Rei-chan!" Usagi grinned wickedly, "But I have
got an advantage on him now! When he argues with me, he'll get more
than he bargained for. 'A lot more.'
'I could've sworn that she did have a crush on him!' Rei
pondered . 'I *really* am losing my touch!' Deciding it really wasn't
important, Rei shrugged her annoying thought off.
"Oh! Usa-chan, I'm so happy for you! Mamoru-san is totally
hot!" Rei gabbed.
Usagi blushed hot pink. 'Glad I'm not the only one who thinks
so!' She thought secretly to herself.
"Yeah, he is ain't he? Jealous?" Usagi asked slyly.
"Isn't he, Usa-chan, isn't he." Rei corrected, effectively
changing the subject before it could become too embarrassing.
"Well, excuse me, Miss Grammar Teacher."
"Heyyyyy, I'm just preparing you! I hear Mamoru-san is very
smart and the top of his class! Boy, you sure can pick them,
Usagi-chan!" Rei taunted.
Usagi rolled her eyes. "Not funny, Pyro."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Later that night, Usagi lay on her own bed staring at nothing
in particular. How did this happen? They were supposed to find love for
Minako. Not herself. But did she want Mamoru's love? Her immediate
defensive answer was a 'NO.' But still, how many times had she dreamed
of them being friends? In reality, it was quite often. Being a
pasifist, she had always desired not to fight. But then Usagi had to
re-evaulate her dreams, not so often, she dreamed of him romantically.
'But who wouldn't have an occasional dream?' She asked herself.
Rolling over on her stomach, Usagi laid her head on her crossed
arms. A single tear rolled down her cheek. She was so confused. How
exactly did she feel about Chiba Mamoru?
There was absolutely no way she could allow herself to fall in
love with him. Her heart simply wouldn't allow it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Two days passed before Usagi and Mamoru met again, but for once
Usagi had prepared in advance.
Usagi straightened her shirt and quickly checked herself. She
had to be stunning. This was her moment of glory. She get Mamoru back
for confusing her feelings. 5... 4... Usagi slowly counted on
her fingers. 3... 2... Desperation hit Usagi. What was she
supposed to do, besides fight with him. Should she flirt or what?
1... Closing her eyes, she rounded *the* corner.
Perfect Timing.
Usagi and Mamoru collided. And Usagi suddenly didn't have to
worry about what to do. The glare in his eyes was unmistakeable. He
wanted to fight.
"Odango Atama!" Mamoru yelled, expecting her to give her usual
retort. Picking himself off the pavement, he glared even more harshly
at Usagi.
"Yes? Mamo-chan...er... Mamoru-san?" Usagi looked up as her
opponent innocently and smiled. "Did you need something?" She asked as
she picked herself up off the ground. Kami-sama, help her, she wouldn't
wither under his gaze.
"........." Silence. What had she called him? MAMO-CHAN?! What
on Earth did that mean? He stared at her dumbfounded. What was the
little minx thinking?
The harsh glare was gone from Mamoru.
'Those eyes...' Usagi giggled. 'so confused.'
Time passed slowly for both of them, as Mamoru was obviously
distressed over how to handle this recent turn of events.
When he still did not say anything, Usagi decided it was time
to leave.
"Ja ne, Chiba-san!" Usagi called over her shoulder as she went
passed him. And Mamoru could've sworn that she had winked at him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"And then she winked at you?" Motoki's eyes were like saucers
and his chin had hit the floor as Mamoru had told him of his most
recent run-in with Dear Odango.
"Yeah." Mamoru stared unbelievingly at the counter. "Maybe I
was just imagining things." he whisperd, barely audible.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Motoki had just untucked his shirt from his pants when he felt
somthing fall out of his shirt pocket. Bending over, he picked a small
black object no bigger than half the size of the palm of his hand. He
flipped it over and was about to disregard it when he realized what it
was.
"Moshi moshi?" Mamoru's voice was loud over the phone and
Motoki almost decided not to tell Mamoru of his finding. 'No!' He
thought staunchly. 'Mamoru has to know!'
"Mamoru-kun, I don't think you were imagining things."
