"What is this?" Usagi asked pointing to the buns on the top of her head.
"It was a popular hair style about 2 and a half years ago." The hair stylist replied.
"It looks like a pair of meatballs…but I like it."
~*~Flashback~*~
"Hey watch where your going meatball head." A gorgeous guy exclaimed taking off a pair of dark shades to reveal gorgeous dark blue eyes.
~*~ End Flashback~*~
"Are you OK?" Usagi's hair dresser asked.
"Yeah." Usagi nodded "But are you about done I have something I have to do quickly before filming the last scene."
The hair stylist nodded "Well your done."
Usagi looked in the mirror, the hair style seemed so familiar Usagi quickly reached into her purse and pulled out a journal, the cover was a dark blue was decorated with stars and a crescent moon in the middle. Seiya had gotten it for her, Marianna had suggested Usagi write down all her dreams and flashbacks such as the one she had just had.
Usagi walked into the apartment dropping her keys on the kitchen counter "Hey." Seiya said not looking up from the newspaper he was reading.
"Hey, we finished taping today." Usagi said getting a soda out of the refrigerator and sitting down across from Seiya.
Seiya looked up as Usagi sat down a strange look flashed across Seiya's face as he asked "Where did you get that hair style?" He asked.
"Oh," Usagi smiled "my hairstylest did it for the movie today. I thought it was cute so I left it in."
"Oh." Seiya nodded.
"It's a beautiful day outside today."
"Yeah." Seiya said obviously not paying attention.
"Come on Seiya lets go to the park." Usagi said standing up.
"I don't think so."
"Oh come on why not?" Usagi pouted.
"You know we are bound to be recognized and I don't feel like being mobbed right now."
"Seiya it's the park. With a bunch of little kids, we wont be recognized by, anyway who cares?" Seiya looked away from his paper and at Usagi who look like a little child.
"Fine." Seiya sighed "Give me half an hour."
Usagi suddenly spoke again "Actually why don't we go to the beach? I can asked Taiki, Yaten, Alana, Callia and Callista to go also."
"Sounds more fun than the park." Seiya commented.
Usagi smiled brightly and said "I will go ask everyone."
Usagi was the first one out of the van although she have been in the back stuck between Seiya and Yaten. Usagi ran towards the shore carrying the blanket they always brought to the beach.
As Usagi lay out the blanket everyone else arrived carrying other things. Usagi didn't wait for them and ran towards the water, but as a wave washed over her feet she squealed "Cold!" And ran back towards the group.
Seiya laughed at Usagi, as she ran back. Seiya's feelings for Usagi had changed, unlike the love he had felt before now the love Seiya felt towards Usagi was that of a protective big brother.
"I'm not going back in there." Usagi declared.
"Oh really?" Seiya asked raising an eyebrow "You're the one who insisted that we come today."
"Yeah were here but I'm not going in the water." Usagi declared.
"You wanna bet?" Seiya asked.
"Seiya no!" Usagi exclaimed taking off down the beach. She had seen that look before, it usually meant that Seiya was up to one trick or the other. It didn't take long for Seiya to catch up to Usagi. Seiya carried Usagi was going between screaming "Put me down!" and laughing.
When Seiya stood knee deep in the water he stopped "No, Seiya please. Please don't drop me. Please."
"OK." Seiya sighed.
"Really?" Usagi asked hopefully.
"No." with that Usagi was promptly dropped by Seiya into the water.
"Seiya! It's cold!" Usagi said as she surfaced sputtering. Usagi started splashing Seiya.
Alana sat on the beach, she could see Seiya and Usagi in a water fight. Taiki and Callia were walking towards the soda stand, Callia stopping occasionally to pick up a seashell and Yaten and Callista were racing towards the water.
Alana was used to observing people. Seiya and Usagi were best-friends it was obvious their relationship was nothing more than that of friendship. There seemed to be more to Taiki and Callia's relationship than friendship. And the only thing between Yaten and Callista was the fierce competition that ran between the two, over just about anything.
Alana was startled by Frisbee landing at her feet a young teen ran up "I'm sorry." The girl said. The girl wore a black one piece bathing suit and she looked to be about 14 years old.
"Hotaru!" A woman ran up after the younger girl "Did you apologize?"
The girl nodded and Alana said "Yes she did."
"Aren't you the violinist? Michiru Kiau (I am guessing at the spelling of Michiru's last name…due to the fact that a certain friend of mine has borrowed by Stars tapes I have no easy way of checking it.
The woman smiled and nodded "And your Alana Chan aren't you?" Alana nodded.
"I wonder who Alana's talking to?" Usagi asked.
Usagi, and Seiya had joined Callista and Yaten and Callista and Yaten had just surfaced after again racing.
Callista turned her attention towards the shore. They could see a woman with aqua hair and a younger girl with black hair and a guy with blonde hair had just approached the group.
"Check out that guy." Callista commented.
"Who are you guys talking about?" Yaten asked.
"That guy talking to Alana, see with the woman and the teenager." Usagi pointed.
Yaten and Seiya exchanged glances and as Seiya made his way to the shore Yaten called to the girls as he followed Seiya "Stay here. We will be right back."
"What are they doing here?" Taiki asked, he had met with Seiya and Yaten as they reached the shore. Seiya and Yaten shrugged "How are we going to handle this?"
"Let's just see how Haruka and Michiru handle seeing us back here first before we tell them anything." Seiya suggested.
Hotaru watched 3 figures approaching and turned towards the group "Michiru-Mama." Hotaru said softly.
Michiru held up a finger signalizing one moment, Hotaru ran around and tugged on Haruka's sleeve "Haruka-papa."
"Wait a second. Until I am done talking." Haruka said.
"But Haruka-papa." Hotaru said insistently.
Before Haruka could say anything else Seiya called "Hey!"
"What are you doing back?" Haruka asked, it was obvious she was still suspicious of the starlights.
"You know each other?" Alana asked.
"Vaguely." Haruka replied.
Alana smiled "Well, I will let you guys talk." Alana smiled "I'm gonna go see what my sisters are doing. Do you want to come with me Hotaru?"
"Sure." Hotaru nodded, she didn't want to get caught in the middle of whatever was brewing between Haruka and Michiru and the starlights, whatever they were doing back.
Taiki, Yaten and Seiya exchanged worried glances.
When both were gone Haruka asked again "What are you doing here?"
"What Haruka is trying to say is," Michiru said shooting a look at the blonde next to her "that we are thankful to you for not giving up one Usagi during the battle with Galaxia but we don't see a reason for you to be here." A sad look passed over Michiru's face quickly "Especially now that Usagi is gone."
"Well about that," Seiya started to say, they deserved the truth, but before he could get anymore out they were interrupted by Hotaru skidding to a stop in front of the group.
"Hotaru what is the matter?" Haruka asked.
Hotaru was out of breath and after several deep breaths she said "It's, it's, it's Usagi!"
"What?!" Both Haruka and Michiru exclaimed.
"Down there in the water." Hotaru pointed and Haruka and Michiru turned their attention to the starlights.
"What's going on?" Haruka growled.
"Usagi has been staying with us for several months." Seiya said, saying this and receiving a glare from the 3 people standing in front of him Seiya feared for his life.
"What?" This was Michiru and she was not happy. The 3 outer senshi moved towards Taiki, Yaten and Seiya.
But before there could be any bloodshed a 7th person appeared.
"Setsuna!" Haruka exclaimed "Did you know that Usagi was living with Taiki, Yaten and Seiya?"
Setsuna nodded "I was the one who brought Seiya, Taiki and Yaten from their home planet."
"You what?!" There words surprised the outer senshi leaving everyone but Haruka speechless.
"I had Seiya bring Usagi to Tokyo. He agreed to come and bring her here."
"Where has she been?" Michiru asked.
"A small town called Kyra." Seiya responded automatically.
"I will find all of this out form her." Haruka said taking long strides towards the shore.
"Haruka wait!" Seiya called "There is something you have to know before you go and see her."
"What?" Haruka asked sharply.
"Usagi is not the same person that you once knew." Taiki added.
"What happened to her?" Hotaru asked.
"She lost her memory." Yaten supplied.
"How?" Michiru asked.
"I think I can answer that."
The group turned towards the newest appearance.
"Hello Ranma." Seiya said dryly.
Ranma nodded to the group "3 years ago I found Usagi…" And Ranma told the whole story.
"Usagi!" Hotaru cried and ran towards the approaching Usagi, causing the group to stop their conversation on how they should handle the whole thing.
Usagi stopped dead in her tracks "Ho-Hotaru?" Usagi stuttered "Wha-what are you doing here?" Usagi hugged the younger girl "It is so good to see you."
"Usagi?"
Usagi looked up to see the group. Usagi walked over to them quickly and hugged Haruka also, surprise showing in her green eyes. "You are all here." Usagi hugged Michiru and Setsuna in turn.
Usagi looked back and forth between Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, Ranma, Seiya, Taiki and Yaten and asked "What's going on?"
"Nothing," Seiya said quickly "we just tan into them."
"Do they know?" Usagi asked. "Do they know where I have been?"
Haruka nodded "WE looked for you for months."
"I'm sorry I was such a bother." Usagi said faintly.
"Usagi are you OK?" Seiya asked, concern showing on his face.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Usagi replied "Just a headache."
Alana rushed to Usagi's side "Did you bring your medicine Mom gave you?"
Usagi shook her head "No I forgot it."
"Do you want to go home?" Yaten asked, it was obvious to the outer senshi that everyone was worried about Usagi's headache.
'They are more protective over her than we were.' Haruka thought to herself.
Usagi smiled weakly "No I will be fine."
As Usagi said this she collapsed Haruka reached out and caught Usagi around the waist before she could hit the sand.
"Lay her down on the blanket." Alana commanded once they realized that Usagi had passed out. "I'm calling 911 and then Mom."
Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru took a step back and watched confused and silent as Alana called 911 and she spoke quickly to someone else on her cell phone.
The twins stood their faces pale, one of them looked ready to cry, Seiya, Yaten and Taiki covered over Usagi and Alana looked to be the only calm one in control of the situation as she said "She wants us to follow the ambulance and she will meet us there."
As she finished saying this the ambulance arrived and the paramedics got out of the ambulance. As the ambulance was ready to leave Seiya also got into the back. Haruka looked ready to protest but she stayed quiet.
"Would you mind telling us what is going on?" Haruka demanded.
"Listen we will try to explain everything at the hospital. Just meet us there OK?" Alana asked as she got into the drivers seat of the van.
"What did Mom say on the phone?" Callia asked.
"She said this could be result of a lot of things. A reaction to her medication. Or…" Alana took a deep breath and even though she didn't need to finish her sentence she did "or it might be the last step to the loss of Usagi's sight."
This silenced the car for the rest of the rise to the hospital.
"It was a popular hair style about 2 and a half years ago." The hair stylist replied.
"It looks like a pair of meatballs…but I like it."
