Hey Journal,
I can't say I'm sorry I haven't written lately because I'm not. Why write daily if there's nothing interesting to write about? To most people saving the world is interesting beyond a doubt. But after a while it gets kind of monotonous. Michiru would understand. She's mostly what I write about anyway. Or it has something to do with her. This time it's a memory from the Moon Kingdom. I was exploring area around the palace on Neptune. Mostly out of curiosity. I was pretty happy to have escaped the ball on the Moon. I hate formal occasions. All of a sudden I heard splashing sounds. I went to see who it was and I saw her. She was swimming in her lake. I had always admired her from a distance so I knew who she was, but this close she was beautiful. Her long white dress was wet and it clung to her when she rose out of the water which she rarely did. When I'm terrified I sometimes talk without thinking what I'm saying. Luckily I'm hardly ever terrified so I don't have to worry about it. "Do you always swim in your dress, Princess?" I heard myself say. Inwardly I kicked myself for saying it, but I feigned a look of disinterest. She didn't seem to mind too much when she replied, "Do you always sneak around the palace?" She opened her eyes and looked surprised. "Who are you?" she asked. My traitor mouth replied, "Quite the one for politeness, aren't we?" Then she pulled me into the lake. I laughed when I came up for air. Forgetting who I was talking to I said, "Now you're going to get it." We splashed each other and it was such fun I could hardly catch my breath. Then suddenly she stopped and swayed where she was. "What's wrong, Michiru?" I asked worriedly. "I think my fever just got worse," she answered as she tried to get back to shore. I cursed under my breath. Michiru looked so weak I decided to carry her back to her room. I asked the wind to dry her off before I put her into bed. I made extra sure it was warm as it blew the water away. Carefully I laid Michiru down in her bed. "You never told me what your name was," she whispered. I grinned slightly. "Haruka." Then I stood next to her just looking at her until she fell asleep. "Michiru?" I whispered to make sure she was asleep. Michiru didn't move or answer so I gently kissed her before leaving the room. I wish I was as brave as I act. Then it wouldn't be impossible to tell her how much I love her. But I'm afraid she won't love me back and then our friendship would be ruined. I couldn't bear it if our friendship was ruined. So I won't ever let her know.
