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 wobbled uncertainly on the full inch heels. "This
dress is too tight and I can't part my legs when I walk!"
Her mother smirked from her position next to a chair in
the middle of the living room. "That's the point, Usagi.
Your legs must stay together. Don't lift your feet and
keep your chin parallel with the floor. Shoulders even
and for heaven's sake, Usagi, smile! Now walk to the
chair and sit."
"What's there to smile about?!" She whined as she huffed
at the extremely curled strand of hair above her left
eye like her mother had taught her to do and it flew back
into place. Sighing she walked across the room as well as
she could and threw herself down on the chair.
Ikuko groaned and shook her head. "No! Do it again. Wait!
Get up and sit on the couch." Usagi did and her mother
went over to the place where she was previously standing.
"Now watch me."
The blonde watched her mother suddenly change in a way
which wasn't physical. Her shoulders were even but the
left was out forward, forcing the right back a little.
She swung her arms daintily as she moved and her eyes
seemed to blink in slow motion, allowing the spark in
them to show.
As she moved across the floor her legs remained evenly
together and she appeared as if she were walking on a
balance beam. Her hips swayed lightly but her torso was
still and strait.
When she came to the chair she gently turned on the front
of her left foot, barely noticable unless one was looking.
Before she turned completely her body bent at the waist
and she sat with a good inch and a half between her and
the chair.
Leaning back slightly so her back would rest against the
top of the chair she curved her smile and tossed her
violet locks over her right shoulder. While this was
happening her right leg came up and rested over the left
at the knee.
Ikuko placed her hands together in her lap and faced
Usagi. "See how it's done? You have to live and breathe
grace and elegance. If you are skilled enough you can
mix in some sexuality and still remain dignified. Now,
let's see you try it again."
And once again Usagi watched her mother undergo a change
as she turned back into the woman she knew so well. She
sighed and stood. -Maybe someday I'll be able to turn it
on and off like that too.-
With determination she walked across the floor. It was
perfect and Usagi beamed at the pride on her mother's
face. "I knew you would be a natural at this. You did
things I didn't even suggest! Now we move on to speech."
Usagi sighed and threw her face into her hands. -When is
she going to stop!? My feet are killing me and my cheeks
hurt from smiling!-

Mamoru stood outside and stared out at the night sky,
wondering what Usagi was doing at that moment. His
thoughts were interrupted as a young woman came up to
him.
"Class is about to begin Mamoru. We have to go." She said
and shook her head. To his friends Mamoru was really
changing and they still weren't sure if that was good.
"Ok. I'll be there in a moment." He smiled as she and a
few others who had been outside went into the building.
Turning back to the sky he sighed. "I hope you really do
know the right words, Usako. I'd hate to lose you to
someone else." He whispered and then turned to go to the
class.
***
Usagi moaned as she woke. "How can I be awake when my
body is still so tired?" She grubled at her alarm clock
as it flashed saying it was five thirty in the morning.
Sighing she flung herself out of bed and went downstairs
to have an early breakfast. As she shuffled down the
steps she yawned an looked around. "It sure is weird
waking up before everyone else."
Switching the overhead light on she went over to the
bread and found the english muffins. After slicing one in
half and placing it in the toaster she went to the
refridgerator when she stepped on something odd and heard
a loud yowl from the floor.
"Usagi! Watch where you are going!" Luna screeched and
stared at her. "Are you always going to be this way in
the mornings? Let me know so I can go to Shingo's room!"
"I'm sorry Luna. Are you ok?" The blonde questioned as
she bent down and reached over to pat the cat on the
head. She watched as Luna sighed and then looked up at
her with a smile that said all was forgiven.
"What are you doing up? Are you feeling all right?" She
asked, concerned for the girl's well being.
"I'm fine. Just.. I don't know how to explain it. It's as
if the more I convince myself I should be a woman the
more I act like one. My sleep patterns are just another
part of me that has changed. I have to get ready for
school now. See you later Luna!"
The red eyed cat watched as Usagi skipped up to her room
without a blunder and as she came back down and walked
calmly out the door. The clock in the living room chimed
and showed it was now six.
