Chapter 2: Realization


"Umph" Usagi Tsukino landed with a soft plop on her bed. Wincing slightly at the impact, she sat up and started to think. I told Setsuna-chan that I wanted to find Chaos… but how do I start. I don't know what to do… Setsuna… help me!

The bed creaked as she rested her hands on her knees. She brought her star locket out of her pocket, and looked at it for a while, before opening it. A slow, sad music played as it unlocked. Usagi narrowed her eyes and closed the locket quickly. This music… I remember how I got it now. On the moon, 3 weeks before my marriage… Endymon gave it to me… I had only listened it once on the moon. It was meant to poison me. So I would die a month after my marriage. Usagi's eyes glazed over as she remembered that day on the moon. How am I supposed to change my life now? I'm already engaged to Mamoru… I don't know what to do. How can I save the world and myself?

I… I'm scared…

Usagi looked at the wall across from her. She stared at the picture of her friends. Haruka-chan, Michi-chan, Taru-chan, Rei-chan, Suna-chan, Mako-chan, Mina-chan, Ami-chan, Chibi-Usa… All of you will be destroyed if I give up n-

Usagi grimaced as realization dawned on her. All of you will die if I give up now. I can't let that happen. I need to find Chaos, for your sakes. But, where do I start looking.

Something on a picture on a wall caught Usagi's eyes. She slid off her bed and walked closer to it, until her nose was almost touching it. Usagi ran her eyes over the people, then over the scenery. Finding out what she had noticed, she gasped.

"Is that..really? How come I never noticed it before?"

In the sky was a faint outline of a crescent moon. "But how…? This picture was taken in the afternoon." Usagi traced her finger over the marking. As she touched it she could feel power emitting from it. The power flew through her body. Into her quickly beating heart, her lungs, and finally, her soul. Usagi, with a newfound strength, set her mouth into a determined line. She knew where to start now. Usagi closed her eyes and with confidence in her voice, she said,

"I'm going to the moon."


Thats as much as I'm working on it. It's okay as it is.
