"Mamoru! Wow. I'm so flattered."

"Oh god. Forget I sad that. You probably think I'm stupid." He let go of her hand and turned away.

"No, I don't think you're stupid." Usagi gently placed her hand on his shoulder. He turned around to look at Usagi. She smiled . "I actually have to tell you something too."

"What is it?"

"Well...I...um...I actually like you too."

"You mean...?"

"Yes."

"Usagi! This is like a dream come! Ever since I saw you and met you, I always thought of you as a good friend. But when I got to know youmore and more, I began to like you...a lot!"

"Omigosh! Me too!!"

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"I've always hoped that you'd like me too. Whenever I'm with Saori, I think about being with you."

"So, why are you still going out with her?"

"If I broke up with her just to be with you. I know that eventually, I'd feel bad about leaving her, even if I'd finally have you."

"Oh, I see."

"I hope you understand."

"Oh, of course I do."

"I'm so sorry that I can't be with you now."

"It's okay. I understand." Usagi said quietly. No one spoke for a moment. "Well, I better get going. I need to get home."

"Yeah, me too." They were silent again. They both stood up.

"Well...I guess I'll see you later."

"Okay."

"Bye."

"Bye." Usagi and Mamoru went their opposite ways.

That night, Usagi went to sleep with Mamoru on her mind and he went to sleep with Usagi his mind. At first, they both had a little trouble sleeping. After a while, they fell fast asleep.

"Usagi, I'm really gonna miss you a lot! My first three weeks in Tokyo have been so fun because of you!" Sakura said sadly, looking at the floor.

"Aww. Thank you! I'll miss you too!"

"Will you remember me when I'm gone?"

"Well, of course I'll remember you! I'll never forget you!!!"

"Promise?"

"Promise." They hugged each other.

"Are you sure you don't want to go out with my brother?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"You still like that guy? What's his name...uh...Mamoru?"

"Yes. I still like him. Oh, and speaking of Mamoru, guess what he told me last night after prom?"

"What?"

"He likes me too!"

"Oh my gosh! Really?"

"Yeah!"

"That's great! But I still think you should go out with my brother!" Usagi just shook her head.

Meanwhile...

"I can't believe you're going to move to Kyoto! And you didn't tell me about this 'til this morning!" Mamoru said scoldingly.

"I know. I'm sorry. It was late at night when I found out and it was too late to call you." Saori said, avoiding eye contact with him. Mamoru sighed.

"We'll keep in touch, right?"

"Of course we will." Saori said. Mamoru held her to give her one last kiss, but before he could, she gently pushed him away.

"Saori? What's wrong?"

"Mamoru. I have a confession to make." Mamoru's eyes widened.

"What is it?"

"I'm not in love with you anymore." Mamoru was shocked, but then again, he felt happy.

"So, what are you saying?" He knew deep inside that he knew what she wanted to say, but he needed to hear it.

"I'm saying...it's over."
