Duet

Usagi has a school project where she has to sing but
she also needs a male counter part. Who will it be
and what will happen?
***
Rei sat before the fire with her legs crossed and her
hands together firmly. She could feel the sweat as it
rolled down her sticky flesh dissappeared somewhere into
her clothing.
Her knuckles were white with ditermination and her palms
bled slightly from the pressure of her nails digging
into the delicate flesh. She had to find out what these
dreams were about.
They just kept coming and with each day they would be
even more vivid than the last. It didn't surprise her
much when she found out that the other girls had been
having strange dreams about men they had never met before
but seemed to know.
However, the one difference between hers and theirs was
that they never once mentioned Serenity or Endymion. She
knew they were important and it was they who had caused
the visions.
She tried her best to think on what had happened to begin
this. -Let's see.. everything was normal. I was outside
just doing my daily chores and then the headache came.
Usagi was running here to try and get Yuuchirou to sing
with her because she was afraid of Mamoru. And.. wait a
mintue!-
Her eyes opened and she continued to stare into the fire.
"Usagi and Mamoru started this?" The fire seemed to
flicker a bit and she sighed.
"Ok. If Usagi and Mamoru started this..then.. that means
Usagi and Mamoru have something to do with Endymion and
Serenity." The fire flared as if annoyed by her ignorance
and suddenly an image appeared to her.
She saw a younger Serenity sticking her tounge out at a
younger Endymion and running off. Then in an instant the
image was over run by another.. the image of Usagi and
Mamoru's first meeting.
Rei watched as Usagi stuck her tounge out at Mamoru and
proceeded to run off. It was as if time were repeating
itself. "Usagi and Mamoru are Serenity and Endymion?"
The fire seemed happy with her sudden knowledge and
puffed out in an instant. The raven haired girl sighed.
"So as Usagi and Mamoru begin to repeat events of their
past they also become closer to remembering? Is that why
we are having the dreams of these people we've never met
before?"
Standing she stretched lazily and went to take a shower.
-At least I'm getting somewhere.-
***
Usagi sighed as she came home. She hadn't seen Mamoru at
all and she knew he had been there.
Trudging up the stairs she mumbled a hello to her mother
and opened her door. As she opened the door the sight
that greeted her was not what she had expected.
She let out a little scream and her mother came up the
stairs to see her standing against the wall opposite to
her open doorway. "What's wrong Usagi? Oh! Yes they
arrived this afternoon for you. You must have a secret
admirer!" Ikuko beamed as her daughter continued to stare
wide eyed at her room.
Usagi's entire bedroom was full of deep red roses of
every imaginable shape and size. There were roses on the
bed and roses on the floor, roses on her dresser and
roses on the window sill.
She walked into the room and opened the closet to change
only to find roses in there as well. She let out a happy
sigh. The room smelled just like Mamoru.
She noticed a card on her dresser among the roses and
pulled it out. Opening the cream envelope she noticed
the card had a picture of a couple walking along a
moonlit beach.
Smiling she opened the card and read it to herself.
~~~
Usako,
I know you've been looking for me but I've had some
things I had to plan for this evening. I want you to look
through the roses. There are some gifts for you hidden
there. Then I want you to read the notes with the gifts
and follow the instructions.
Love,
Mamoru
~~~
Setting the card down she giggled and began to search
through the roses on her dresser. She found a long red
velvet box with a white ribbon. Pulling the ribbon open
she slowly pried the box open.
Gasping she pulled out a long pearl necklace. She glanced
at the note inside which read. 'Put this on. (and don't
think of the cost like I know you are.)'
Usagi did as told and clasped the necklace around her
neck. She then began to search for the next gift. She
decided to look under the roses on her bed. Under the
roses she found a large white box.
Pulling the lid off she pushed the sheet of tissue paper
out of the way to reveal a long black gown with twin
spaghetti straps. She marveled at the smooth feel of the
silk beneath her fingers.
The note was under it and she lifted it to read. 'When I
saw this dress I knew it was made for you. Please put
this on.'
She blushed but complied and after taking her school
uniform off she slipped into the expensive gown. Half of
her back was open and there was a slit in the left hand
side which went up just past her knee.
Her chest was covered with dignity but her neck and
collar bone section were still revealed nicely. Absently
she wondered how he knew her size.
Smiling she turned to the roses on the floor and began to
pile them on the bed. She found a small rectagular box
and opened it to reveal a pair of black quarter heels.
Glancing at the note she smiled. 'I know every girl likes
new shoes and I doubted you'd have some that would go
with the rest of the gifts. Put them on!'
She slipped her bare feet into the shoes and smiled as
they fit perfectly. -And they are really comfortable
too!-
Laughing she finished looking through the roses on the
floor and found a make up box. Opening it she noticed it
was empty except for two things. A very light peach shade
of blush and a pale lip gloss.
Confused she took the note and read it. 'I know you would
like to dress up with a lot of make up but I only want
you to use very little of these. You are beautiful enough
and I want to share that beauty with the world. No need
to cover it up.'
She blushed and put some of the lip gloss on. After that
was finished she opened the blush and lightly powdered
her cheeks. Smiling in approval she winked at her
reflection.
Usagi stood and turned to the closet and began to pull
roses out and pile them on her bed. When she had finished
she found a medium sized box and a small white velvet
box.
Openening the smallest first she smiled when she found
a pair of pear drop earrings to match the necklace. The
note with them read. 'I just couldn't see you not having
them.'
After she pinned them on her ears she opened the larger
box. Inside was a black organza wrap which shimmered
silver when you turned it the right way. She wrapped it
around her shoulders and picked up the last note.
'Now that you've finished getting ready we can go.' The
doorbell rang downstairs. Usagi glanced at the clock to
see that it was now five thirty.
"Usagi! Your date is here!" Ikuko's voice rang from
below.
