"Umm Odango." Seiya began.

"Yes?" This was it. Usagi tried not to seem too excited.

"Well umm…"

"Yes?" Her eyes widened.

"You have a bug in your hair."

"Oh…wait. WHAT!" Usagi jumped up and down shaking her head. The bug flew on to Seiya and he joined in the jumping until they both fell down. Usagi looked at Seiya and he looked back, then they both began laughing.

"What did you think I was going to say?" Seiya asked after they began walking again.

"Nothing in particular." She had actually hoped he would ask her out. It was Saturday and they were walking to meet the others at the dress shop. After she had decided to "act normal" around him, it was ridiculously hard to do it. They had walked together to training, and he had walked her home afterward. Then he had come over early to have breakfast with her whole family, because apparently Usagi's mom had invited him to thank him for helping Usagi "in her time of need". Usagi thought if only her mom knew how much he had helped her she would have him living with them.

They walked the rest of the way in silence; Usagi thought Seiya probably knew she was thinking about something. Seiya seemed to know her better than everyone else right now and especially included Luna. She and Luna had had another fight last night ending in Usagi asking Luna how exactly she planned to stop Usagi from dating, having sex with, or even getting married to whom ever she chose. Luna had slunk off and Usagi hadn't seen her since.

"Usagi-chan!" Naru chimed from the door of the dress shop. "For once you're not the last person to show up!"

"Who's missing?" Usagi asked as she entered the shop, and then gasped at all the beautiful dresses.

"Well if it's not you, obviously it's Minako that late." Rei replied while Yuichiro openly stared at her. Usagi felt really bad for him, he had no tact.

"Usagi you are going to LOVE the picture I picked for you!" Naru gushed.

"What do you mean?"

"Mom let me pick the picture that inspired the jewelry for everyone. Yours is so perfect! Mom also let me pick the coupling of everyone, so no worries! By the way, did he ask you?"

After a nervous around to make sure no one could over hear them she replied. "No and I'm about to just die if he doesn't soon! Acting normal is hard!"

Naru laughed, and then got a dangerous glint in her eyes. "Do worry, by the end on next Saturday night, he will ask you. I'm sure of it."

Usagi didn't know whether to be worried or relieved, but didn't have time to ponder because then Minako showed and the men were sent off down the street to get fitted for tuxes while the girls lined up.

"Wait a minute why are you still here?" Mrs. Osaka asked Haruka. Everyone giggled.

"Sorry." Haruka said and gave Michiru a squeeze of her hand before leaving to follow the guys. Usagi thought the tailor was in for a surprise.

"OK. Naru has picked a picture that has inspired my jewelry for each of you. I will measure you today, to make any adjustments needed to that the jewelry fits perfectly. I have picked out what color dress you should wear to match the jewelry, and you will spend the rest of today trying them on till we find the perfect dress. The color of the dress is written on the back of your picture that Naru will give to you now. Embrace the picture, embody the picture, and enjoy the picture." She finished with a flourish, and Usagi worked really hard not the laugh. Naru's mom could be rather artsy.

Naru handed out the pictures, and she was right Usagi loved it! It was a beautiful white building that was on a cleft above the ocean. A huge full moon rose right behind the building while the waved crashed against the rocks below. The building had lights on casting a warm golden light on the surrounding trees. She flipped over the picture, "white and gold".

Everyone else seemed to be having similar reactions to their pictures, except Rei who looked confused. Usagi looked over he should to see he picture. It was of a fountain casted in the light of a setting sun with bright reds and golds, Usagi thought it was beautiful. "What's wrong Rei?" Usagi finally asked.

"I just thought I would get something with fire, not water." Rei replied and everyone peered over Rei's shoulder at the picture. Usagi saw Naru smile as if she knew something they didn't.

"Oh Rei that is the Trevi Fountain!" Ami said and at Rei's confused look she continued. "The Trevi Fountain is famous for granting wishes. People travel around the world to cast a coin in the fountain and make a wish."

"Exactly." Naru chimed in. "The coloring is very you Rei, and the fountain reminded me of the Temple and you because it inspires hope."

Rei blushed and actually walked up and hugged Naru. "Thanks." She said awkwardly. Then everyone went off to find their own dresses, and Naru tagged along with Usagi.

Immediately Usagi found "the dress". It was a white dress with a high waist (just above her navel) then the skirt was double layered and flowed to the floor. It was a square neck line with sheer long sleeves that were split open with ties and opened wide and flowed halfway to the ground. The neck was bordered by gold lace and clear crystals and another line of the gold cord was under the breast area. Over all the dress reminded her of a mix between the dress she wore as Princess Serenity and the dress she wore as Neo Queen Serenity, but the sleeves were so Usagi. When she walked out of the fitting room Naru's mom clapped and said it was Perfect.

Shortly after that the guys, and Haruka, returned and sat waiting with Usagi as all the other girls tried on dress after dress. Makoto ended up with a hunter green dress that had delicate pink roses wrapped around the waist. Minako got a dress that was golden with nothing but straps in the back from her lower back up, and she said it was "business in the front, party in the back" which caused lots of laughs. Ami got an ice blue strapless dress that reminded Usagi of a less fluffy Cinderella dress. Rei got a form fitting bright red dress with a halter v-neck and a split up the side to her knee. Michiru got a deep blue, high flat neck line dress that had aqua beads that swirled up the deep v-back and down the skirt in the back. When Michiru came out in that dress Haruka offered to purchase the dress if Naru's mom didn't like it.

By then Haruka had taken off her jacket and when Naru's mom turned to say that wasn't necessary she froze. "You're you're…"

"A girl?" Haruka finished for her while everyone giggled.

"Well, yes. But I though you and Michiru were a couple."

"We are." After they had died and came back they had apparently had a discussion and decided to be more open about their relationship. So they told everyone that they were, and had always been a couple. No one was surprised; it was pretty obvious that they were together. Usagi guessed it you didn't really know them, someone could mistake them for REALLY close cousins.

Naru's mom stood there, dumb struck, for a few more minutes then recovered. "I love the dress on Michiru so we will go with it. By the way how did the tuxes look?" She looked pointedly not at Haruka. A mash of goods, fines, and a Perfect from Haruka answered.

"Great! Then I will see all of you at 4pm sharp next Saturday and between then and now brush you on your dance moves since this is a ball show." She left without a backward glace, which was good because then she didn't see the looks of horror from Rei, Yuichiro, Motoki, and Minako. Usagi stifled a giggled as she left with Seiya.

"What?" Seiya laughed at her expression.

"Rei and Minako are not the best dancers, and by the look on their faces Yuichiro and Motoki aren't good either." Usagi laughed.

"Well Minako doesn't have anything to worry about because according to the list that Naru gave all the guys, she's being escorted by Yaten. He's a great dancer and I'm sure she can follow his lead. But Rei is with Yuichiro, so that is probably going to end badly. Is Makoto a good dancer?"

"Oh yeah. She's super graceful, why?"

"Because she's paired with Motoki."

"Really?" Usagi laughed. "Motoki did remind her of her senior that broke her heart. But then again so did everyone when she first transferred to our school."

"Wow he must have been some guy. But how do you know Rei and Minako are bad dancers?"

"One time Luna had the great idea that I should be enrolled in princess leasons. The inners joined me for support. Part of it was a dance, and the people who graduated were the good dancers. Rei, Minako, and I failed."

"How could you have failed?"

Usagi blushed. "I used to be clumsier than I am now. But I learned how to dance, mostly because I got more of my memories from the Moon Kingdom. But I'm ok with failing that class because it was run by a bad guy who turned the winners into wax figures."

"Wow, yeah she could have kept the prize. But I can't imagine you failing anything."

"You obviously aren't my math teacher, or my English teacher, or any of my teachers."

"Speaking of. Don't we have a test Monday?"

"Yep. Another one for me to fail." Usagi sighed. She really was getting tired of failing school, it was so much work!

"Do you want to study tonight?"

"Can we study at your place?" Usagi turned red after asking because they would be alone.

"Sure." He seemed to notice her blush, but didn't comment, just blush himself.

"I need to go get my books." She felt awkward and didn't know why.

"So see you in an hour?"

"Yep."

"Great! It's a date."

"Really?" Usagi asked before realizing what he meant.

"What?"

"Never mind." She felt herself turn even redder.

Seiya went to say something but then they heard. "Hey!" Taiki ran up and they stopped.

"What?" Seiya asked seeming annoyed.

"Aren't you going the wrong direction to be going to the studio?"

"That's right. I completely forgot, because I have better company here than there." He winked at Usagi and she thought that people in space where going to be able to use her red face as a beckon. "I have voice recording for the movie they filmed last year. Sorry Odango, it looks like you will have to study for both of us." Then to Taiki. "I'll be right there."

Usagi tried to hide that she was disappointed, but apparently failed because he took her hand in his. It was nice and warm and felt comforting to Usagi. "Are you alright with this?"

"This is what you do." Usagi was confused why he was asking.

"If your not ok with it, just say. Please?"

"Seiya they're waiting on you." Usagi let his hand go and with another wink he ran after Taiki.

Would he give up being an idol for her, Usagi wondered for the rest of the weekend while she actually studied.
