Chapter One
Okay, this is my first FanFic so bare with me! I hope you like it. I'm not gonna do all of that disclaimer stuff, 'cause you guys know I don't own Sailor Moon! Oh, and just so you know, Tuyoi is a character I made up. His personality is based on a friend of mine. Also, Usagi's personality in this FanFic is kinda based on mine, but there's not much difference because everybody says I act just like her. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this! Please let me know what you think!
Luv ya,
PrincessShannon

Usagi turned to look in the mirror again. The pain rose in her chest when she saw it. She knew it hadn't changed since two minutes ago, but she was hoping it was all a bad dream or something. "How could I have done this?" she asked herself. It all started when she saw Mamoru flirting with that other girl, the one with the short sassy haircut. In a tearful rage she had gone into the beauty shop and demanded that her hair all be cut off up to her shoulders. Now she regretfully looked at the shoulder-length ringlets. Usagi had always had curly hair, but when it was long she could brush it straight or twist it into her signature pigtails. Now she could do nothing with it and she was already late for her date with Mamoru. She choked the tears back and headed for the café.
"I wonder what he will think," Usagi mumbled as she ran. "Maybe he'll like it. Maybe..."
Her thoughts were interrupted when she found herself outside the café. She took a deep breath and went inside. Mamoru was sitting just inside. He started to smile when he saw her, but the smile faded.
"What did you do?"
"But Mamo-chan, I thought you liked short hair." She tried to laugh but she knew the tears were coming.
"It's so...short! It was beautiful, why did you cut it off?"
Usagi was angered and upset by this remark and her temper got the best of her. "What? So you don't think I'm beautiful now? Is that it? I can't believe you! What an insensitive jerk!" She stormed out and left a confused and somewhat angry Mamoru behind.
Tears were flooding Usagi's eyes to the point where she couldn't see where she was going. Nor did she care. She just ran through the streets wishing she had never gotten so angry.
Somehow she found her way home. She went to bed with her clothes on. The next morning she awoke expecting to feel her long hair sweeping across her face. Instead she was left with the horrors of the day before. She put her head down on her pillow, waiting to just die. Then she remembered...it was Monday! The thought sickened her. Now everybody at her school would see her mistake. She showered and put on her school uniform.
When she arrived in the schoolyard Usagi noticed everybody pointing and whispering. Some jerks even made rude comments to her face. Her deep blue eyes filled with tears as she crossed through the door. She felt like life was over, then she saw him. That guy, the one named Tuyoi. That guy who had been a friend of a friend so long she'd forgotten which friend's friend he'd been in the first place. He always knew how to cheer her up on a bad day, and today was no exception.
"Hey Usagi!" His voice was so cheerful it almost made you smile at the sound.
"Hi. I feel horrible! Look what a mess I've made of my hair. Even Mamo-chan hates it."
Tuyoi lifted Usagi's chin and looked into her lovely eyes. She looked up at him and, for the first time, really noticed his eyes. They were so beautiful and full of life. The color, a soft hazel, greenish with flecks of copper.
"Don't feel bad Usagi! Sweet little Usagi. You look great! I've personally always loved curly hair. It makes you look zesty and springy. You look like your wonderful carefree self! Don't worry about what those idiots think."
"Thank you. How do you always know just what to say?"
"It's a gift. Kinda like being late is a gift of yours! You'd better get to class!"
"Oh, right." She blushed. She hadn't even noticed that the bell had rung. "Wanna get together and study after school?"
"Sure, but I hope your study habits are better than Rei says they are! Let's meet at my place at five,okay?"
"Okay!"
As she walked to class Usagi felt so much more confident of herself. She couldn't wait for the study session. She rushed home after school to get ready. When it was time to leave she almost forgot her books.
Usagi reached his house at exactly 5:10. "Well, he did say being late was my gift," she giggled to herself. As she rang the doorbell she suddenly felt nervous, like she always felt before a date. But this wasn't a date, just studying with a friend. She simply shook the feeling off and greeted Tuyoi with a happy grin.
"So glad you made it Usagi! The study table is all set up in the dining room."
"Thanks. What are we studying tonight?"
"I thought you knew."
Usagi was lost in his gaze, captivated by those gorgeous eyes. She sighed dreamily, "We could study you." Coming out of her trance and realizing her mistake she tried to change it, "you...you...Europe! We could study Europe!" She was quite satisfied with the save.
"Okay, let's start with France." He opened a history book and began babbling about the kings and queens of France. Usagi quickly lost interest and halfway into the French Revolution she began to doze off. Tuyoi looked up and , seeing his sleepy study buddy, he let her head fall onto his shoulder. He leaned down on the table and was soon asleep too.
When Tuyoi awoke it was 4 in the morning. For a moment he wondered where he was, then he remembered the study date. He looked over at Usagi, who was still asleep on his arm. "She's so pretty," he thought to himself. He reached over with his free hand and brushed a few strands of golden curls out of her face. Usagi awoke and was startled.
"What am I doing here?"
"You fell asleep when we were studying. I guess we both did."
"What time is it?"
"A little after four. We'd better get you home."
"Oh no! What if Mamoru finds out? He'll think we were...you know."
"Yes, I know. And we weren't, so there's nothing for him to find out about."
Usagi liked the way he always made situations seem better, even when they were horrible. She quickly gathered her books and Tuyoi walked her to the door.
"Thanks for waking me," Usagi said as she nervously twisted the doorknob.
"No problem." He leaned over to help her with the door, and their cheeks brushed. Usagi looked into those gorgeous hazel eyes. She wanted to stare into them forever. After he walked her outside Tuyoi, against his better judgment, swept the ringlets away from Usagi's face. Still touching her cheek he gave her a quick kiss. It was so soft, so gentle, Usagi wondered if that's what an angel's wing would feel like. He barely brushed her lips with his, yet Usagi had never felt so much power in a kiss, even one from Mamoru. It was over much too soon. The sun was breaking through the morning sky and Usagi knew she had to leave. She looked into his eyes once more and started for her house.
