"What are you thinking about?"Usago started questioning Seiya.

"Me?"

"There is no one here but us."

"I was thinking about my surprise…Remember what I said in our way to the hotel?"

"Uhmmm ...well …you...uhm ...Give me a hint."

"I told you that tonight will be a Blue Moon and I wanna take you to see it."

"Oh...I would love to see it."

"I bet…"

"Help me with the zipper, I can't reach behind my back."

"I will help you…" the bluerett was more than happy to help her get dressed. She got right behind her back. Seiya was studying her curves and how her clothes hugged and adorn her body.

"Okay…" she was nervous as hell. The Starlights breath was warm, she got so close to her.

"I should've helped to get this off...not on…"

"Seiya…"

"But for now…" she was focusing hard in her task. She grabbed the zipper, slowly pulling it up, while her hand brushed the white skin of the beautiful blonde. "I have to resist." The zipper was up, the dress covered her back.

"Really?"

"Yeah...I don't…"

"Usagi ...Are you done?" Rei knocked on the door.

"Boy, Rei sure has a seventh sense."

"She usually has bad timing. I am coming." Usagi shouted out.

"See you tonight."

"I can't wait…" she smiled, opened the door. "Hey, Rei-chan…"

"It was about time you got ready. Let's go the others are waiting." Rei simply grabbed her by the hand and was on their way to have some fun.

"Goodbye Seiya." she could barely wave goodbye to her.

"Bye, Odango."

Now the five girls were on their way to have fun. Since the others were busy doing this and that they have decided to have some fun.

"Guys I am so excited for tomorrow." Minako was having a problem keeping a secret, but then she remembered she promised Yaten she would keep their secret.

"Why exactly?"

"Because…My gosh...I forgot what I wanted to say!"

"No way!" said Makoto.

"I did...You know me…Hahaha…"

"Minako-chan…"

"By the way where are our guests? We lost them!"Ami was starting to worry about them. "It is our responsibility to take care of them…"

"I am sure they are alright...They are big girls you know. Right, Usagi-chan?" Makoto noticed how thoughtful she was.

"Yes...but Ami -chan is right too."

"I promise to search for them later." Rei made sure get friend is at ease.

"Thanks."

"Aaaa!" a high pitched voice interrupted them.

"Minako-chan...What is it?"

"Look! A bridal dress shop." she pointed almost jumped out if her whips.

"Soo?" the other raised an eyebrow.

"So? So? in less than a month, there's going to be a wedding." she pointed at Usagi, who looked so surprised and gave them are you talking about look.

"Ohhh..yeah..wedding…."

"Let's go and try on some dresses…" suggested Minako.

"No!"Usagi' s reaction was so natural rejecting the thought of putting on a wedding dress, that would mean accepting your destiny. She wasn't about to do so.

"Why not?" the stopped, eyes all bugged out.

"Because...there will be nothing in there to suit me."

"Don't be silly Usagi-chan...

Minako-chan is right,

besides we need to choose out brides dress.

"Yeah...we do…"

"Go along, Usagi…" Rei whispered, slowly.

"Ohh...okay... let's go." The Moon Princess felt trapped, once again her heart filled up with guilt "I should be happy! But I am not. A bride should feel joy...but somehow..all I feel is sadness, please help. Seiya." her thoughts were at the Starlight and the promise of seeing her again early in the evening.

"Wow!" Minako gasped.

"Look at these beautiful dresses." Makoto felt just excited, the blonde's excitement was contagious. Usagi was wondering, looking at the dresses. This bridal Boutique carried a beautiful array of bridal gowns in all sizes and designs.

"Hello!" a shop assistant was watching Usagi measuring all the incredible dresses.

"Oh...Hello…" she said somewhat startled.

"Can I help you?" she smiled gently.

"Actually I was…."

"Yes, you can...we came to try on some dresses."

"You came?" Usagi asked Minako.

"Well us too. We are the maids of honor."

"Yes…"

"You made the right choice. You see, we take pride in our boutique, all of our dresses have been hand-picked with our bride in mind, sourcing beautiful silk and lace designs so that our 'bride to be' has an ever-lasting memory of how beautiful she felt on her day."

"How impressive...Can you do the same thing for the bride's maids too?"

"Sure…."

"Usagi-chan here is the bride to be." Minako pushed her forward.

"Minako-chan…"

"Let me find you something that makes you shine."

"Why thank you…" said Minako.

"Not you, the bride."

"Ohh...hahaha…" she forced a smile on her face. The other three girls started giggling at her reaction.

"What's so funny?"Minako said giving them a look to kill.

"Nothing ...Now come on...Let's move on…."

"If someday I am getting married, I will forget to invite you guys."

"We are sorry, we're only joking…" Makoto tried to make her forgive them.

"I forgive you…." she forgot all about it.

Lucky for the girls there was no one else in the boutique but them.

"Which one would you like to try on, my dear?"

"I don't really know. I haven't really given it a thought." Usagi said while walking thru the dressed, caressing the slightly. The silky material of the dress was lingering between her fingers.

"This one should be perfect."

"But… I don't li…." she wanted t stop the girls, but there was no use. They dragged her into the private dressing room. Usagi went along with all this charade, although it was hard to keep up with the rhythm. The excitement was all over their faces, except the blonde who was supposed to be happier than the others. The store assistant handed the white dress over to the girl, Usagi was holding on to it, four of her friends were waiting for her to go and try it on. She remained stiff, gazing absentmindedly at the dress.

"Usagi-chan, are you gonna try it on?" Ami saw that something was wrong.

"Usagi?!" a few seconds passed by then she finally said.

"Sure. Please, I wanna be alone…"

"Ohh...sure...tell us when you are ready."

"I will…" she turned around looking at herself in the mirror. The dress was waiting for her, with lovely lace and breathtaking beadwork, sleek crepe lines it was perfect. Mirror was surrounding her, they were framed by a river of clear jewels, this deluxe Silver Crystal Effect. The mirror glistened beautifully as the light fell upon it. This large rectangular mirror was finished to a high-quality with silver edges and sharp corners for a truly exquisite appearance. She did it. She managed to pull the dress up somehow, she felt powerless. Finally. Usagi turned around the mirror was the true reflection of her feelings, the person facing her was a fake.

"Are you ready?" the girls wandered.

"I..I guess...You can come inside."

"Me first!" Of course, Minako had to be the first one."Wow!"

"Usagi-chan!"

"Usagi!"

"You are so...Beautiful in this dress…."

"You think so? Do you think Seiya's gonna like it?"

"Seiya?" Rei repeated after her.

"You mean, Mamoru-san...He will flip when he sees you."

"Who?" she wasn't sure she heard her right.

"Mamoru-san...You said Seiya...but…."

"No..I didn't …" her eyes dipped with tears. The wall she was she was trying to keep up, was crumbling down, one by one. The mask fell, salty drops fell from the blonde chin, dipping the dress.

"Usagi?"Rei wanted to get closer.

"I am sorry guys...I can't do this."

"What happened? You know you can tell us anything." Makoto insisted.

"I...am ...in…love…"

"We know that…" Makoto hoped she just freaked out because of the wedding.

"Not with him…."

"Usagi…"

"Guys...I love her...Seiya.. "she fell on her knees. For some reason, this wasn't a surprise for them. " Why aren't you guys mad?"

"Usagi-chan...We have to be stupid not to see that something is going on between you guys."

"Ami -chan. I am sorry…"

"You don't have to be sorry for anything. Just be honest with us." Makoto said with a friendly smile on her face.

"You guys...I messed up big time."

"Love is something you cannot control. Believe me, I know. "said Minako smiling.

"We are right by your side.No matter what you decide," said Ami, hugging her friend.

"You are the best...Now can I take this dress off?"

"Sure…" the girls helped her take the dress off. Air, she could finally breathe easier, not just because she got rid of the dress, but also a secret that was eating her from inside.

All this time the girls were busy shopping. Ai decided to have her hair done. She looked like a movie star, with her silverish hair flying thru the wind, her green eyes gaze was mesmerizing.

"Ai…." Michiko tried to bring her back to Earth.

"Yes?"

"You know this kind of attitude got us in trouble the other day…"

"Sorry…"

"Look…"Atsuki pointed out at the Three Lights. Yaten also noticed them coming.

"Oh no…" she took a deep breath.

"What?"

"Those girls again…" she said with a bored attitude as usual.

"Do you have a problem with them?" Taiki looked at her.

"Just with her."

"Which one?" Seiya wandered.

"The grumpy one…"

"Ohh. Ai-san.She is bot grumpy, she is just..uhmmm..well how should I say…"

"Grumpy…"

"Yeah...you should know how that is."

"Hey guys!" the girls greeted them with a wide smile.

"Hey girls. Where are you heading?"Seiya asked them nicely, while Yaten turned away.

"Just...some sightseeing…" Atsuki said almost whispering.

"Great…Let's go!" Yaten wanted to leave.

"Yaten! How about we join the girls?"

"You join them ...I will pass.."

"Why?"

"She knows why!" she vehemently pointed in Ai's direction.

"No, I have no idea why!" she acted all innocent.

"Say you are sorry…"

"I won't!" Ao wasn't gonna apologize.

"Why you!"

"Ai!"

"Yaten! Control yourself."

"I don't want to be next to he...him either."

"Come now Ai…." the two girls wanted to talk some sense into their friend. "This a great chance to spend some time with them."

Taiki and Seiya were doing the same.

"This is a great opportunity. The girls really care about them, we should at least try and get to know them."

"I don't like that girl."

"We know...You usually don't like anyone, but what if she says she is sorry?"

"If she does...maybe then…" Yaten gave a smirk.

"Say you are sorry, Ai…." Atsuki encouraged her.

"Atsuki..don't make me…"

"If you won't say sorry, I will put my audio book about volcanic rocks out loud and you can listen to it all night."

"You convinced me!"

"Here she comes!"Seiya tapped Yaten on the shoulder.

"So?"

"Yaten!" Taiki and Seiya pushed her in front.

"Yaten-kun.."

"Yes, Ai-san?"

"I wanted to say...that I, that I am.." she swallowed hard, looked behind her back, at Michiko and remembered what she said " I wanted to say I am sorry for the way I acted."

"Are you?"

"I just told you I am…"

"Yaten!"

"All right, apology accepted, "Yaten said slowly.

"Thank you." Ai quickly turned around

"Are you guys alright?"

"Guess so!" came the unanimous answer.

"How about we eat some ice cream? I think that would make everyone happy." Atsuki smiled relieved.

"Great idea."

"I want a lemon flavored!" Yaten and Ai once again we're on the same page.

"We can have everything our heart desires," Atsuki said. Seiya looked at her, she seemed so familiar, the idea that she resembled Usagi was still present in her mind.

"Anything…" Seiya looked at how happy the girls seemed "They are not so bad after all!"

"Seiya...come on…"

"I am coming..I have to hurry up you know."

"Why?"

"Because she wants to surprise Tsukino-san…"Taiki told the big secret, the only one who gears her was Atsuki the others were walking way in front.

"Taiki.."

"What's the big surprise?" Atsuki was curious.

"I taking Odango, to see the Blue Moon tonight."

"Wow...the Blue Moon...That's so romantic...but also…"

"What?"

"I heard a story if you look at the Blue Moon, you will be unlucky in your love life."

"That is silly…"

"Well, guess so...I mean Usagi-chan is getting married soon...She can't get unlucky…"

"Yeah...she can't…"

"But maybe it will work differently for you...You will be lucky and something good will happen…"

"Me?" Seiya asked her.

"You need luck in love."

"You think so…?"Seiya asked her.

"I know so." and with that, she rushed to the ice cream stand for pick out her favorite flavored ice cream. She left the Starlight wandering about it.
