Authors note: Oh my, I'm back. So much has happened. I learned that you shouldn't change your laptop password so many times, that you forget it and have to update to another administrator. Also, work has made me it's bitch. Six days a week, I forgot what good night sleep looks like.

Chapter seven: Think of you.

She could never understand what her friends, or the rest of the female population saw in the Three Lights. Sure, they were all cute, added points for being eye candy, their songs were great, touching every girl with their sincerity.

But there was something else. Something that was itching in the back of her mind, trying to claw it's way to the front of her mind. Whatever it was, refused to be pushed away for long. Whenever she thought of the Three lights.

She got up from the kitchen table to put her cup in the sink, looking out at the huge living room in her apartment. The place sure was quiet and lonely, for some one who was use to noises and a room full of people. But, she was an adult now and her own place was required.

Minako stopped by from time to time. But not long enough to leave an impression that any one was in the house, not even a smile crossed Usagi's face after her friend was gone. There was that feeling again, still trying to push it's way for her to remember something.

"Seiya."

The sound of the door opening and closing, made her aware that she was no longer alone in the apartment. She turned to face the entryway of the door, waiting for the person to walk through the hallway to the kitchen.

So much for a quiet afternoon. Along with everything else that changed five years after the defeat of Galaxia, so did her relationship with Mamoru. He was coming back to a whole new girl, who didn'r cling, pig out, or cry anymore.

'Seiya.'

Blue eyes that looked at her with such intense emotion, came to her mind. Her eyes widened as she tried to shake the image from her mind. But the image was relentless, how could she forget somebody who made her feel so alive?

"Usako?"

Usagi turned her head to look at the man standing in the entryway to the kitchen. He was wearing a white coat, with a white button down shirt underneath. Dark hark hair and loving blue eyes greeted her sight, when she got to look at his face.

'Seiya.'

Mamoru stood in the entryway to the kitchen, watching Usagi's expression. She gave no acknowledgment that she was seeing him, let alone hearing anything that he was saying. It was if they drifted away.

The prince could no longer reach his princess. The trance she was in, he couldn't break through to get her to look at him as a person and not an illusion. Mamoru frowned as he continued to watch his princess.

She was a princess who now longed for a warrior.

Seiya and Usagi were sitting on a bench on the softball field. They were simply relaxing and enjoying the beautiful stars in the night sky. Usagi let out a heavy sigh as she looked up at the stars, but no moon was out.

"Odango?"

"Hmm?"

"What's with the face?"

Usagi turned from looking at the stars to the idol sitting next to her. She wasn't sure how to explain to Seiya, how she felt like a trapped princess in a glass castle. How she longed to escape the castle and explore the outside world.

"A princess fell for a warrior."(1)

Seiya looked at her confused before a smile spread across his face.

Usagi really was a meatball head sometimes. She was still a princess trapped in the glass castle and she could never escape.

I understand that Seiya and Usagi aren't together in this drabble. But they were together in memories and I bet nobody can see the references I made in this story.

1-Was in reference to another Seiya/Usagi story I read. I just can't remember the name of the story, or author.
