Chapter Two

Usagi sat at her vanity, brushing her hair. She looked at her pale reflection and wondered if this was how she should feel. She felt terrible and depressed. Her face was pale and she had dark circles surrounding her eyes. But when she thought of Seiya, her face turned bright and she felt a little better.

"Usagi, are you feeling better today?" Luna asked, stretching out on her bed.

"Sort of," she replied, and finished brushing her hair. "With each day, I slowly feel better."

"I'm glad," she said.

She stood up and walked over to her bed. She slid underneath her blankets and turned off her lamp.

"Good night, Luna," she said.

"Good night," she purred, and lied next to her.

She fell asleep, wondering if Mamoru was thinking of her. But then, he wouldn't be, since he did break up with her. Then she thought of Seiya. Seiya… she knew he would be thinking of her. She always thought of him, he was like her dream. A dream worth dreaming.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The morning came as quickly as the night did. She woke up to the sun shining warm on her face. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. She slid out of bed and stood in front of her closet. She pulled out a khaki skirt and a baby pink tank top. She got dressed and stood in front of the mirror. 'Do I really want to do this?' She asked herself. Of course she wanted to, but is she really ready to move on?

"Usagi, where are you going?" Luna asked.

"I'm not really sure. But Seiya asked me to meet him at the park," she replied, looking at her reflection in the mirror. Her reflection looked happier and more like her old self.

"Just be careful, Usagi," Luna warned, and jumped off the bed.

"You worry too much, Luna," she said, and walked to her door. "Bye, Luna."

"Bye," she said.

Usagi walked out of her house and started to walk down the sidewalk. Her heart bet hard against her chest as if it was trying to brake through her skin and her stomach tossed and turned. She got to the park and sat down on the bench. She watched the little kids play frisbee and the young couple walking their dog. She loved the park in the summer; it always made her feel better about herself. She loved the cherry blossoms when they shaded the sunlight and made the park smell pretty. She loved how the butterflies flew in the sky and landed on the flowers. This was what she remembered most of all: the sunsets. She loved the sunsets, especially when she was with Mamoru. But just like the sun, he faded away behind the snow-covered mountains to the other side of the world.

"Odango," Seiya said, as he walked towards her. "Sorry I'm late."

"It's ok," she said, and stood up. "Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise," he said, and took her hand. "Let's go."

They walked together, hand in hand, out of the park. Her pale cheeks changed to the color of roses and her frown was turned up side down into a smile. She watched, as the people that they passed stared at them like they were celebrities. But then, he was a celebrity, so she kind of knew that mostly they were looking at him.

"Seiya, please tell me," she said.

"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you," he replied, and smiled at her.

All he had to do was smile. His smile made her weak at the knees and her heart melt. She smiled to herself and continued walking.

"Close your eyes," he said.

"Alright," she said, and closed them.

He took both of her hands and guided her into a building. After about twenty minutes, she heard a door open and hushed voices in the background. She felt a breeze pass by her and realized it must be Seiya walking away.

"Ok, open your eyes," he said.

She opened her eyes and smiled. "Happy Birthday, Usagi!" They all shouted.

All her friends were there and even Taiki and Yaten. She forgot it was her birthday today. Probably because, she was concentrating more on her sadness and it just slipped past her.

"Thank you, guys," she said, as her friends clapped and blew horns.

"Your welcome," Minako said.

She walked closer into the room and hugged them. "You guys are the best," she said.

"Tell us something we don't know," Makoto said, and laughed.

She turned to Yaten and Taiki and hugged them both. "Thank you for coming," she said.

"It's our pleasure and anyway we had the day off," Taiki said, and smiled.

"No problem," Yaten said, and nodded, while holding Luna in his arms. She looked at her and smiled.

"What about me?" Seiya asked.

She turned to him and smiled. "Thank you, Seiya," she said, and hugged him. As they broke off their lips brushed against each other's, making Usagi feel a sudden rush up and down her spine.

He looked at her and stared at her eyes. He thought they were like diamonds, surrounding a sapphire. He leaned in closer to her, but stopped when everyone glared at them, giggling. He backed away and blushed, but Usagi didn't understand why they were laughing, since she didn't know what was happening. So she shrugged her shoulders and walked towards the table where the cake was.

"Makoto, did you make this?" Usagi asked, licking her lips.

"Yes, but I made it for everyone, not just you," she replied. "But, I made an extra one for you."

"Thank you," she said, and smiled.

"Your welcome," she replied.

"Time to open the presents," Rei said, placing all the wrapped boxes on the floor. "Come on, Usagi."

Her and Makoto walked over to the circle and sat on the floor. Usagi grabbed the first box and started to unwrap it.

"This on is from me," Ami said.

She opened up the box and saw a computer disc that read: Math Made Easy. "Thank you, Ami," she said. "It was very thoughtful, since math is my worst subject."

"Your welcome," she said, and smiled. "I'm glad you like it."

She grabbed the next box and started to unwrap it. "It's from me," Minako said, happily as Usagi opened it.

Inside, was a photo album with pictures of her and her friends. "Thank you," she said. "I really like it."

"No problem, I knew you would," Minako replied, and smiled.

"Open this one, Usagi," Rei said, handing her a box. "It's from me."

She started to unwrap it. She opened the box and inside, there was a gold necklace with symbols engraved on it. "I love it," Usagi said, and put it on.

"The symbols are for good luck," she said. "I'm glad you like it."

"Open this one," Makoto said, handing her a small box.

Usagi grabbed the box and opened it. Within it was a pair of rose earrings. She thought of Mamoru and quickly closed the box.

"Usagi, what's wrong?" Makoto asked, not realizing what the roses reminded her of. "You said you liked mine so I figured I would get a pair for you."

Ami leaned over to Makoto's ear. "Mamoru," she whispered.

"Oh," Makoto said, and looked at Usagi with remorse. "I'm sorry, Usagi."

Usagi looked up and smiled. "It's ok, Mako, I love them," she said.

"Here, Usagi," Yaten said. "This is from Taiki, Seiya, and me."

She took it out of his hands and opened it. Inside was a cassette tape. "It's a special song that we mad especially for you," Taiki said.

"Thank you, guys," she said, hugging it close to her chest. "Thank you everyone."

"You're welcome," they said, and smiled.

After eating cake, they all sat together at the table playing cards. Usagi looked over her friends and smiled to herself. No matter what happens she knew she could always go to them, and they will always be there for her.

"I'll be right back," Usagi said, and stood up.

She walked out to the small balcony and stared at the moon and the stars. She smiled as the moon caressed her with it's silver light. She always felt one with the moon. Like she was part of it and really she was.

"Usagi," a voice said behind her.

She turned around and smiled. "Seiya," she whispered.
