Chapter 2
---Two days later---
"Good-bye, Ms. Tsukino. Take it easy!" The doctor said from the door of the hospital as I walked out with the assistance of Greg.
"I will!" I called back as I got into the car. I sighed and thought of what I was going to do. The accident caused me to think about what I was, and wanted to do with my life. I knew now that I needed to go home, I knew that modeling was fun, but I didn't want to do it anymore and skating, well, that's never going away. I also knew that I needed some advice from Greg. "Greg?"
"Hmm?" Was his response.
"How do you know if someone loves you?" I asked.
Greg glanced at me threw the mirror then back to the road, "when they come looking for you if you've gone away. Most of the time, you just know. So, home and then the airport?" He asked.
I looked at him in surprise, all he did was grin. I smiled and nodded yes. When he pulled up at my place, I hopped out and ran for my room. I grabbed my suitcase and put essential things in it quickly and then ran back downstairs, "Lets go, Greg." I said as he drove off towards the airport.
"Here we are, Usagi." Greg said from the front seat.
"Thanks, Greg, for everything." I said giving him a hug threw the drivers side window. I ran inside the building and immediately bought a ticket to Tokyo. I had to wait about an hour for my flight, but I figured it was worth the wait.
"Flight 186 to Tokyo, Japan is now boarding at Gate 21." A woman said over the intercom.
'All right, finally.' I thought as I handed the ticket lady my ticket. I smiled thanks and walked onto the plane. I sat down in my seat and looked out the window while the other passengers boarded the flight. Soon the pilot was on the PA telling everyone to buckle up and get ready for lift off.
--X number of hours later ^_^;--
I walked up to the front door of my parents home and saw from the window that they were just sitting down to dinner. I smiled and knocked twice. I waited for the door to be opened.
"Usagi?!" Okaa-san exclaimed.
"Hai, Okaa-san." I replied giving her a hug. She ushered me in and announced loudly that I was home. That was soon followed by lots of hugging.
"Usagi, not that we don't want you here, but…why ARE you here?" Otou-san (dad) asked me.
"I needed to come home, plus, there a certain someone I need to talk to." I told him. Then I stood up and kissed Okaa-san and Otou-san on the cheek and went to my old room to go to bed. My parents looked at each other, then smiled.
The next morning I woke up at around ten o'clock in the morning. Yawning and stretching I climbed out of bed and walked downstairs to get my suitcase from by the door. I saw my parents and waved and smiled hello to them then went back upstairs to change plus shower. After I took a long, hot shower I dressed myself in a blue tank top with an old pair of my baggy skating pants. I walked downstairs with my skates over my shoulder. "Okaa, Otou, I'm going to go skating. I have a feeling some very good friends of mine will be at the pit. Jaa ne!" I walked out the door put my skates on and went to the pit. Sure enough, Minako, Rei, Ami, Makoto, and Heero were there.
"Usa?" Rei questioned when she saw me.
"Hey, guys." I said weakly. They all looked incredibly shocked to see me, but they recovered quickly.
"YOU'RE BACK!!" The girls shrieked, skating as fast as they could towards me. I was tackled into the grass by my friends hugging me. I could hear Heero laughing behind us all.
"You… guys… I can't … breathe." I managed to get out. They got off me and helped me up.
"Wait, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in NYC?" Minako asked.
"Yeah, I should. But, I quit modeling, my accident -which Trowa probably told you about- made me realize that a job that takes me away from my friends is a job I don't want." I told them all. "I'm going to stay here, I'll have to go back for my stuff, but I'll live here. No matter what."
"Go, tell him." Makoto said. I looked at her confusion on my face.
"Him? Him who?" I asked.
"Who do you think, baka." She turned me around and shoved me in the direction of Trowas house.
"Oh, that him!" I called back to the laughing girls as I skated backwards down the street. "Jaa!" I turned and skated down the street, stopping at his front porch. 'Well, here goes.' I thought. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door and waited.
"Who's there?" I heard Trowa ask.
"The blonde, odango headed baka." I answered.
"Usagi?" Trowa asked, opening the door, "w-what on Earth are you doing here?"
"Warming your porch step." I said sarcastically, "really, what else did you think was I doing?"
Trowa grinned, "shut up." He teased.
I cocked my head to one side to listen to the song on the radio, "ooh, I like this song. It's real popular in the US." I listened some more then stated to sing,
"The sun is shinin' everyday
Clouds never get in the way for you and me
I've known you just a week or two
But baby I'm so into you
Can hardly breathe
And I'm in so totally
Wrapped up emotionally
Attracted so physically
Actin' so recklessly
I need you so desperately
Sure as the sky is blue
Baby, I love you, I love you
I never knew that I could feel like this
Can hardly wait till our next kiss
You're so cool
If I'm dreaming please don't wake me up
Cause baby I can't get enough
Of what you do
And I'm in so electrically
Charged up kinetically
Actin' erratically
Need you fanatically
You get to me magically
Sure as the sky is blue
Baby, I love you
I can't believe that this is real,
the way I feel
Baby I'm gone head over heals
And I'm in so totally
Wrapped up emotionally
Attracted so physically
Actin' so recklessly
I need you so desperately
Sure as the sky is blue
(Yeah)
And I'm in so electrically
Charged up kinetically
Actin' erratically
Need you fanatically
You get to me magically
Sure as the sky is blue
Baby, I love you
Baby, I love you
Do you love me too
Baby, I love you" When I finished singing it softly I looked back at Trowa.
"Err. Why are you here?" He asked.
"Because, well, Trowa, you and I are just weird. Okay?" I said, he nodded, still waiting for me to get to the point. "I'm staying here Trowa, I'm not going back to New York… well, I have to so I can get my stuff, but that's another story all together and you don't wa-" I was cut off by Trowa planting his lips on my run-a-way ones. I looked at him in surprise, then closed my eyes and kissed back.

~20 year old Usagi~
Whelp, that's my story, now you know it. Oh, and do any of you want to know what happened between Trowa and I? Let me just say this… my name is Usagi Barton now. Oh, and guess what? Heero and Rei are going out! Isn't that cool? We all still skate but we've stopped competing and I went to college and got a job as an executive chairperson on the board at my old modeling agency in Tokyo. And I'll let you in on a secret… I'm pregnant!
