Standard disclaimers apply. Thanks to Von Meerman, Chibi Michi, and lots of other people I can't remember. Ok, enough said, let's get this show on the road! PS: Usagi won't be as much of a ditz as she used to... some might say that she'll be way out of character. Sorry this is out so late, I had really bad writer's block back there for a while. I even put i a bonus for being so late! If it weren't for User668597, I would probably have never gotten this out! Although it is the day after Thanksgiving,(sunday) I'm not going to turn this in until
Part 2a: The end of the first day
Usagi slowly awoke with a headache to some unpleasant sounds. She hesitantly opened her eyes halfway, and then they sprang wide open in surprise. Wufei had Duo down on the floor, and was sitting on top of his chest to keep him down. His fist was raised and he looked EXTREMELY mad. He was growling like some kind of rabid animal. Quatre was trying desperately to pull the boy off and was saying, "Now now, Wufei... let's all make up and be friends." Duo was nodding enthusiastically and was saying, "Yeah, c'mon, Wufei, lemme up... you don't really wanna bet me up now, do you?" "Oh yes I do!" Trowa was watching from a corner in the room, and Heero was trying to pry Relena off of him. From the looks of things, he'd need a crowbar to complete THAT task.
All of the sudden a fairly chubby nurse with curly red hair and bright green eyes screamed at the top of her lungs, "ALL RIGHT, THAT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH!" Everyone stopped, and Usagi held her head in pain. Oh, boy, THAT hadn't helped her headache the size of Russia much. "Get out right now, all of you! You," she said, pointing at Relena, "get off that boy right now! He just told you to, so if you don't I file that as sexual harrassment! You," she pointed at Wufei, "Get off that boy right now and don't you DARE give me another casualty to have to treat! As for you," she now pointed to Duo, "stop teasing him or doing whatever it is that's making him mad and act your age!" She heaved and said,"Out now before I make you regret rough housing and glomping inside this office!"
Usagi watched as they all filed out one by one, and laughed hard when Wufei cracked a coment about loud weak women and got beaned in the head with a thermometer in response. She then said with a smile once they were all gone, "May I have your strongest painkiller?" "Course you can, dearie." The woman with bright red lipstick and an ultra pale face due to excessive powdering then grabbed a bottle of the counter, and then handed it to her. "Such a pitty that such a sweet little thing like you got mixed up with that crowd of rufians." She then proceeded to pinch Usagi's cheek, and Usagi smiled painfully. Oh, god... so this is what they mean by fussie aunts... and this woman isn't even my aunt! After swallowing the pill dry (a feat that I could never perform) she hurried out to avoid more pinches.
She looked up and down the hall, and then the bell rang. A mob of screaming rowdy teenagers rushed out on the spot, and nearly ran her over in their haste to get home. Usagi shook her head as most of the stampede dissapeared quickly. She went to her locker, and then wandered around until she got to the designated spot. She waited a few more minutes while letting her thoughts drift, and finally Une arrived from the opposite direction Usagi was expecting her.
"Hello, Usagi! Ready to go?" "Yup!" She then walked home with her best friend and aunt (awww... isn't that so sweet? I've never had that good of a relation with any of my aunts... course, they've never had to take me in when my rents were dead and I had amnesia), and they discussed her day for awhile, like when Relena had accidently mowed her over like an eighteen wheeler, but eventually they switched to finding shapes in the clouds above. Usagi giggled when they got in, late November here was really pretty... too bad it was too cold to stay out for very long, though. Usagi did her homenwork, and then went up to her room, and shut and locked the door behind her.
She then stretched her leg mucsles out. She was going to go over the ice skating routine from the memory from earlier. Of course she wouldn't be able to do it all because she didn't have a rink in her room, but at least she could go over the pattern of it. Her body instantly recognized the pattern, and fell into it steadily. It was just like dancing, really, and she enjoyed the exercise. Out of the blue, a thought formed in her head. I wish that I had a partner to do this with, or at least someone to watch me. She felt a sudden pang in her chest and doubled over with an, "Oh!" Her chest throbbed with pain, but she didn't understand why.Finally she realised that it was her heart. It was throbbing in... ohh, what was the word? Sorrow? Yes, she was feeling that pain because she was sad, and something was amiss... she missed somebody... somebody from her past. Somebody that she couldn't even remember. She felt tears gather at the edges of her closed eyes, and after the pain subdued, she stood up. She needed to go out and do something.
Usagi decided to go out fo a walk. She walked down the streets watching little kids running around playing in the numerous parks, some flying kites, some playing tag, and some swinging. She watched the Christmas shoppers come and go down the street. Usagi grinned; it was almost that time of the year again. She sat there on a lone swing and gently closed her eyes and just relaxed. She just sat there, letting the sounds of the last birds to stay there and not fly south for the winter sing out. She sighed, and then fingered a strand of her hair. Life seemed so... so _perfect_ here, and Usagi was finding it hard to make herself leave.
She was about to leave when she heard a small mewing sound. She looked down... and saw a gray kitten rubbing up to her ankles. It had beautiful sapphire eyes, and fur that was a little rough from being out in the open. It had dirty, mud-caked paws and some mud on it's forhead, and had a look of 'let's go play' when it tugged her pants leg. Usagi reached down and picked up. There was no collar, and Usagi was guessing that it was a stray. It playfully batted at her swinging pigtails. She smiled at it fondly, and carried it home with her.
Usagi poured a saucer of warm wilk with cream in it to make it even thicker for it and layed it on the floor for it. She laughed at the way it lapped up the milk. It reminded her of the way she ate. Speaking of food.... she made her way to the dinner table where Une sat. Une looked up and said, "Did you have a nice walk?" "Yes, and I found a kitten too. I hope you don't mind, I was planning on keeping it. It's got no collar, and it's only a baby. If I left it out there, it would either starve to death of freeze. Either way, it wouldn't make it through the winter." Une nodded in thought at what the girl said. "I see no problem for it. While you're in school tomorrow, I'll take it to the vet's and get it's shots. For now, though, it's time for us to eat."
The chilly air had made her appetite grow larger (OH DEAR GOD! IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE???!!), and she ate even more ravenously than ever. When she saw that Une was staring, she blushed, and then burped. As Une laughed, Usagi blushed even deeper.
Usagi brought the kitten up with her that night, and washed off it's tiny delicate paws to see that it had wat reminded her of socks on it's feet. She wipped off the mud on it's forhead, and came face to face with a bronze crescent moon. Usagi stared wide eyed. She recognised that from somewhere! A voice ran through her head, associated with a picture of another cat, only this one was black. '"What? A crescent moon? Oh, no, Nnow I'm REALLY gonna be late!"' Usagi stared a few moments more, and then shivered at the deja vu of it all.
Usagi went to bed that night thinking about her new friends here, and finally drifted off into a deep sleep. Of course... she didn't have the luck for it to be a happy one...
nightmare
Usagi was running away from something, she couldn't tell what, but it was bad. And she was SCARED. She was about to go out ofher mind with fear. So she kept on running, hoping that maybe it would go away, or give up, or something. It didn't matter as long as it left her alone and she got away alive.
Usagi then ran into a dead end. She had nowhere to go, nowhere to hide. So as it got closer and closer, her heart pumped harder and more and more adrenelin rushed through her. She screamed as it reached out and touched her forehead and a searing pain came from the slight brush of it's claws. Blood dripped down into her eyes, and she was ever so frightened of the ominous black cloud that loomed in front of her and trapped her against the wall.
It reached down again, only this time kept it's huge hand there. Usagi felt pure agony burn through her, and where the beast touched her, she felt the scorching flames of hell. She began to wail out for anyone to hear and come help her, but no one came. It laughed and said, "Foolish girl, have you forgetten already? They can't save you, they're already dead!" It laughed horridly, and with every chuckle she heard, she felt her heart break a little more. She was crushed, and had only one hope left: that she could save herself. And yet, she knew that she couldn't, she was so small, frail,meek, and powerless against this... this thing! So she closed her eyes and prepared for death to come and lay seige to her, when a bright light errupted from seemingly the bottom of her soul. It came as a last desperate plea to live, and then it was gone. But so was the demon.
end nightmare
Usagi woke up gasping for air and sweating all over. Her legs were twisted tightly like they were in a cocoon, and she untangled them after calming down a bit. She got up and washed her face, l lay back down, and went to sleep again. She had already forgotten what the dream had been about, and wasn't quite sure that it mattered. This time she slept soundly with only pleasant dreams of soft sunshine and light breezes in a field with someone that she loved.
