A.N.- Well, here it is guys, the 3rd and final chapter of Memories of the Heart. (Expect lots & lots of mush and fluff towards the end.) Please R&R!!
Usagi finished off the last of her shake. "Usagi, can I show you something?" Mamoru asked. "Sure." Usagi replied. ~ Ten minutes later ~ "Mamoru, where are you taking me?" Usagi asked as she was pulled along by Mamoru with a blindfold over her eyes. "It's a surprise, it's not far now, we'll be there in a second." Mamoru replied. Usagi felt him squeeze her hand in reassurence and felt a jolt of electricity flow through his hand and into hers. ' On second thought, the faster we get there, the sooner he'll have to let go of my hand.' Usagi started to walk a little slower at this thought, savoring the intamate connection of their joined hands. Mamoru came to a stop and turned to look back at Usagi, who was standing there with a half smile on her face, still blindfolded. ' She looks so beautiful.' Mamoru thought to himself. "Ok Usagi, stand right here," Mamoru moved Usagi in front of himself, letting go of her hand (much to Usagi's displeasure) and started to untie the blindfold. "Keep your eyes closed until I tell you to open them, ok?" Mamoru said. "Ok." Usagi replied. Usagi waited, and soon felt the blindfold loosen and be pulled away. Usagi blinked, opened her eyes and gasped. She was standing on top of a small hill, and all around her as far as the eye could see, were thousands of different colored roses. Pink, white, yellow, and most of all red, the color of love. "Mamoru, what is this place?" Usagi asked. "I discovered it when I was walking the nature trail near the park. Only a few people know its here, myself included, and now you know too." Mamoru said with a smile. " It's...It's so beautiful." Usagi whispered. "Not as beautiful as you are." Mamoru thought to himself, then immediately clapped a hand over his mouth when he heard Usagi gasp and turn to look at him. 'Oh no, did I just say that out loud!' Mamoru thought, now in a total panick. "Mamoru, what did you just say?" Usagi asked, not quite believing her ears. 'He just called me beautiful..' Usagi thought, blushing a deep red. 'Well Mamoru, there's no turning back now, tell her how you feel and hope she feels the same.' Mamoru took a deep breath, a nervous hopeful look on his face, then gently took Usagi's hand in his. "Usa, I have something I need to tell you." Mamoru said, locking eyes with her. " I...I love you Usako." Mamoru watched Usagi's eyes grow impossibley wide, then start to fill up with tears. 'She doesn't feel the same way.' Mamoru thought brokenly as he watched her tears start streaming down her face. Mamoru heartbrokenly let go of her hands, and turned his back to her, tears filling up his own eyes, and started to walk away, one thought repeating in his head. ' She doesn't feel the same, she doesn't feel the same, she doesn't feel the same.' As Mamoru let go of her hands, Usagi woke from her trance, tears of pure joy streaming down her face. Warning bells started going off in her head as she watched frozen, as Mamoru turned to leave, and her heart felt heavy as she caught the look of extreme saddness in his deep blue eyes. For a moment, Usagi was confused as to why Mamoru looked so sad, then the realization appeeared in her mind. 'I haven't answered him yet, he must think I don't feel the same.' ' Well, Usagi thought, I'll show him exactly how I feel.' Mamoru had just barely gotten two feet away from Usagi when he heard her call out his name. "Mamo-chan, wait!" Mamoru stopped abruptly in mid-step at the sound of Usagi voice. 'Wait, did she just call me...' Mamoru barely had time to turn around before he felt Usagi jump into his arms and hug him tightly around the waist. "I love you too Mamo-chan, I love you, I love you, I love you!" Usagi kept repeating those three words into his ear over and over until she was silenced by the crush of Mamoru's lips against hers. Electricity, fireworks, waves of the most beautiful music, and any of the other feelings that went along with true love's first kiss. Usagi and Mamoru felt all those things and more, their joined lips expressing all the pent up passion and longing they had felt for each other for all these years. This kiss lasted for as long as possible before they pulled away recluctantly for air, and even then they made sure that as they gasped for breath, their lips could still lightly brush eachother, sending electric chills through their bodies. "So, Usagi whispered, slightly out of breath, when did you start calling me Usako?" "I've been calling you that fot years, its just that whenever I went to say it aloud, Odango Atama came out instead." Mamoru replied, a light blush creeping to his face. Usagi giggled at this, then lightly kissed him again at this, while lightly running her fingers through his hair. After a few kisses, Mamou's curiousity overcame him. "When did you start calling me Mamo-chan?" Now it was Usagi's turn to blush. "I...I started calling you that when we first met..." Usagi admitted. "But instead you called me a baka, well I guess I deserved it for annoying you so much." Mamoru replied. "Well, that's in the past, now we can be together forever." Usagi murmered. "I'm never going to let you go." Mamoru said, staring deeply into Usagi's eyes. Usagi just smiled. "I love you..." She whispered, then leaned in to share another deep kiss with the man of her dreams.
