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?
***
Usagi sighed as she lay in her bed and stared up at the
starry sky. Thankfully her mother had placed the roses
into vases and spread them throuoght the house so the
smell would not be overwhelming.
Her room still smelled like him though. It was not an
unwelcome but nor was it a wanted scent a the time. "What
am I forgetting?"
She lay there for a while as her eyes drifted into sleep.
Luna lay curled up beside her and the warmth and smooth
purring lulled Usagi's body to slowly tingle into sleep.
Her mind was becoming fuzzy and she yawned. "Goodnight
Mamo-chan. I love you." She said absently as she snuggled
into the pillow.
Suddenly she shot up and sat upright, eyes wide and heart
pounding. "How could I forget that!?" She began to wail
and sob, throwing her head down onto the pillow to soak
her tears.
Luna stood, irritated and hopped down onto the floor for
sleep. She knew better than to ask what was wrong with
Usagi. -She'll tell me in the morning after she's cried
her fill.-
***
Sunday came soon but Usagi had cried so much during the
night that her energy was depleted. She slept until two
in the afternoon and then remembered a senshi meeting at
three.
Rushing to dress and eat at the same time she ran from
the house to Rei's. There they talked about the odd
happenings with the dreams of each of the girls. No one
had any answers.
An hour and a half later Usagi had to go home to do
chores. By the time she was finished it was dinner time
and then bedtime.
Her nerves were on end and she was completely undone. -I
wanted to see Mamoru today!!- She whined to herself as
she flopped down onto her bed. -I know, I'll see him
tomorrow. I always see him on weekdays before school.-
With cheery optimisim she forced herself to sleep.
***
Usagi awoke and ran to get dressed. She hopped downstairs
and grabbed a bowl of cereal for breakfast. After eating
she ran out the door and off to school.
She hummed to herself as she skipped along and then
frowned. Somehow she had already made it to school and
hadn't run into Mamoru! Turning she was about to go back
when she heard Naru call out to her.
"Good morning Usagi! You're here early!" She smiled at
her friend and began going on a tangent about something
Umino had done yesterday.
The blonde sighed and stood there, pretending to listen.
-I must have missed him because I left the house early.-
When the bell rang the girls went into the classroom and
sat down. Miss Haruna stood with a stack of papers.
"The first order of business today is to take a history
quiz." She handed out the papers and the students
groaned. "Yes, thank you for your enthusiasim." She
remarked sarcastically.
Usagi took her test and glared at it. -History is so
boring!- She glanced over at Ami who absently looked at
the test and jotted the answers down like it was common
knowledge.
Sighing she prepared herself for a long day. Time went on
and the end of the day neared. Miss Haruna called the
class to attention.
"I need to know who will be performing for the talent
contest on Saturday. Please raise your hand if you are
and tell me if you have a partner. If you do please give
me their name. I need seven students to volunteer." She
said as she opened a notepad and prepared to take names.
Naru raised her hand and smiled. "I don't have a
partner." Once she broke the ice a few more hands went
up.
Miss Haruna nodded and took down the names. "I need one
more volunteer." She glared at Usagi who was gazing out
the window, ignoring the conversation. "Usagi! You will
sing in the talent contest, won't you?"
The blonde turned to look at her teacher. "Huh? Talent
contest?"
"The one for open house on Saturday. You have a partner,
don't you?" She asked the girl. Usagi nodded slowly. Miss
Haruna became irritated with the blonde's lack of
attention. "Well what is his name?"
"Chiba Mamoru." Usagi said and then realized what was
going on. -She's signing Mamoru and I up for the talent
contest?! How am I going to get him to do this?- She
groaned and smacked her head onto the desk, leaving it
there until the bell rang.
