Better
Than Ever - The *New* Usagi
Chapter
3
After the pain stopped, I felt different. I
don't know how I felt "different," but I knew I wasn't myself
anymore. I laid there on the bed with my eyes shut; I was too afraid to open
them. I didn't know how everyone would react to my outburst. I don't hear
anything... maybe they decided they hated me so much that they left. Or maybe
they're just speechless because their "dear Usagi" is acting so odd.
Wait, was this just a dream? I've never acted in that manner before, so why
couldn't this be a dream? I concluded I would be brave and open up my eyes.
I braced myself for the frowns and the screaming. I slowly inched them open,
only to find no one there. I was in my bed, in my house. Where are the
others? I got up and opened my door a little. I heard people, the senshi,
talking in my kitchen. I shut the door. I went to look at myself in the mirror.
My hair was in their usual ondago's. Yuck. I look so awful! I took down
my hair, and grinned with satisfaction. There! No one can ever call me
"Ondago Atama" again. I looked down at my outfit. Pink. Pink
shirt, white pants. How could I wear such *evil* colors?! I went rummaging
in my closet to find something decent to wear. I pulled out a black shirt and
found a black miniskirt. Then I slipped on a pair of knee-high boots with 3
inch heals to complete the look. After I finished putting on my new look, I
admired myself in my mirror. "Much better!" I said quietly. I smiled
and walked downstairs. As I walked into the kitchen, everyone stared at me.
Rei-chan, Setsuna-san, Ami-chan and Haruka-san stood there with their mouths
practically touching the floor. I could help myself but to smile inside my
head.
"What?
Why is everyone staring at me?" I asked bluntly. For about two minutes, no
one answered. Finally, Michiru-san stuttered out a response.
"Y...
y... your outfit, Usagi-chan. It's so...." she started.
"Dark!"
Mako-chan finished. I smiled evilly.
"Tell
me something I don't know." With that, I flipped my hair behind me
and walked out. I started to make my way to the door when I heard my name
called. I turned around and found Ami standing right behind me.
"Yes?"
I replied.
"Ummm...
are you okay?"
"Better
than ever. Now that is." With that, I walked out and shut the door
behind me.
