See ya! Usako
Usagi walked over to the fort. It was around six and her and Duo were meeting. She climbed the stairs and found Duo was not there. She shrugged to herself and sat against the wall. She took a big breath of fresh air. It was quiet and peaceful. Her hand fell to her pocket and grasped her gift in her pocket. It was the necklace she had bought. It had best friends on it. She hoped Duo would keep it with him while he was gone. He didn't have to wear it but he could at least keep it to remind him of their friendship. She looked at his house and saw the back door open. She smiled and watched him as he came to the fort.
Duo sat next to Usagi and leaned against the fort wall. There was not much to say. He was leaving tomorrow and he knew Usagi was having a hard time believing that; so was he. He didn't want to leave his parents. He didn't want to leave his home, his town, his friends and his school. He didn't want to leave Usagi. He heard leaves rustling on the trees as the wind blew them. It was too silent. He looked over at Usagi and saw her face. It showed emotions beyond anyone could imagine. It showed sorrow, loneliness and peacefulness. It also showed nothing. She stared into blank space. Duo didn't like her silence. He couldn't take it anymore.
"Say something" he said glumly staring at the ground.
"Like what?" she asked him. He shrugged.
"Anything" he answered sighing.
"You promised" he added. Usagi nodded.
"Hold your hand out" she said to him plainly.
He looked confused.
"Close your eyes and do what I say" Usagi said giggling.
Duo smiled glad she was happier and did what she said. He felt her soft light hand hit his hand. He felt her drop something cold and solid in his hand. She closed his hand and looked at his face studying it.
"Can I open it?" Duo asked his eyes still closed.
Usagi giggled. "Yes" she finally said.
He opened his eyes and his hand. In his hand was a silver necklace with a moon and a star on it. It said forever. He studied it looking at it. He knew it would remind him of Usagi all the time. He clutched it in his hand. He looked up at her. Around her neck was a necklace that looked exactly like his but it said 'friends' on it. He smiled. She had been hiding this present. He had also been hiding one from her. It was a teddy bear. He knew she would hold on to it forever.
"Thank you" he said looking into her eyes. She smiled back. He gazed into her endless blue eyes and searched them. This time they showed happiness and sorrow in them.
She looked into his eyes and saw everything in them. Right now though they showed happiness. She broke the silence and asked,
"What time is it?" Duo glanced at his watch and looked back at her.
"Six ten" he answered. She nodded. She wanted to be with him till he got on the plane.
"Are we sleeping in the fort tonight?" she asked him remembering their plans.
Duo nodded. "Yeah" he answered plainly.
She nodded. "Should we get everything set up?" she suggested.
"Sure, why not?" Duo said grinning.
Usagi nodded and climbed down the fort.
"I'll go get my stuff and I'll meet you back here" Usagi said to him. He nodded and ran off to his house.
Usagi dragged her sleeping bag and pillow to the fort. She slowly got closer and closer. When she got to the steps she threw all of her stuff up and climbed up after it. She was half on the stairs when she noticed what she had done. Underneath her stuff was a figure.
"Ooops!" she said covering her mouth trying to keep in her giggle. Duo threw the stuff off of him and gave her a sly grin. Usagi just laughed. She loved it when he did that. Duo rolled his eyes crossing his arms. "Ok. Let's set up" he announced. Usagi nodded and grabbed her stuff. She neatly laid them out on the floor of the fort next to Duo. She didn't like sleeping outside but if Duo was with her she didn't mind.
It was nine o'clock and Usagi and Duo were laying down in the fort. They stared at the stars and tried to find forms they could trace. Usagi put her hand in the air and pointed with her finger. She traced a heart.
Duo laughed. He pointed with his own finger and traced a figure of a gun.
Usagi rolled her eyes. "That's all you ever think about!" she exclaimed sarcastically.
They both laughed. Usagi looked in the sky again. There were billions of stars out. It was really easy to find any figure. Usagi's eyes caught attention to another cluster of stars. She traced them and it formed into a microphone. Duo's eyes widened.
"Good one" he said. Usagi faintly smiled. They both looked back in the sky. They just stared for a while. Just then a brilliant flash went across the sky. Usagi gasped. She closed her eyes.
She had to make a wish. 'I wish that one day I will see Duo again' she silently said in her head.
Duo saw it too. He closed his eyes to make a wish. 'I wish that one day I will see Usa again'. Usagi sighed. It probably wouldn't come true. She knew it was wishful thinking but she could always wish couldn't she? She looked over at Duo. His eyes were closed; he was also making a wish.
She wondered if they had made the same wish. Sometimes when two different people wished it had a better chance of coming true.
She kept thinking and stared at the sky. Her eyelids started to droop. She was laying down in her sleeping bag but she was still cold. She looked at Duo and saw that he was still looking for figures in the sky. She smiled. She was glad he was still here. He was leaving tomorrow. She shivered slightly. Her head slowly fell to his chest and rested there. Her legs were spread in front of her. Duo looked down at her and smiled. He was glad she wasn't crying. He knew she would tomorrow though. He hated to see her cry. He wrapped his arm around her to keep her warm. He leaned back on his pillow and shut his eyes. They both fell asleep like this and didn't move at all.
Duo woke up in the morning to hear all of the birds chirping outside. He saw that Usagi was still lying on his chest so he didn't move. Her hair was everywhere and was tangled in big knots. Duo looked at her innocent face and smiled. She shifted in her sleep and her head moved across his chest. He watched her as she slowly opened her eyes. She sat up and looked around. "Morning" she said cheerfully stretching her arms out. Duo looked up at her. "I probably need to get ready" he said to her. She nodded and got up. Duo got out of his sleeping bag and rolled it up. Usagi threw her things out of the fort and climbed down. "Catch!" she heard Duo yelled. She turned around and caught his falling things. She laughed and saw him climbing down the fort steps. "I'll see you in two hours" he said checking his watch. She nodded and went to her house to get ready for the car ride to the airport.
Usagi knocked on Duo's door and waited for someone to open it. The door slowly opened and there stood Duo. Usagi had an emotionless face and she was half staring into space. "Come in" he said to her silent figure. She nodded and stepped in the house. "Please say something" Duo pleaded. Usagi didn't know what to say. There was nothing to talk about. "I don't know what to say" she spilled out. Duo nodded. "You have to keep your promise" he said. She nodded but knew when they reached the airport she would be crying uncontrollably. "I don't know if I can stop myself from crying" she said softly. "I will let you cry once more but after that no more. Tears aren't you" he said truthfully. She rose her head to look up at him. She nodded slowly. "Ready to go?" Duo's mom interrupted. They both nodded and went to the car.
Usagi stared out the car window and watched as things went by. She didn't want to believe that Duo was actually going away. Her heart wouldn't believe it. It just made her more confused. She looked at Duo. He had the same kind of face as she did. She wondered what would happen once he left. She would continue school and he would continue his own life. Usagi wished they would meet again. She needed it to happen.
They all walked up to the gate and saw people sitting around waiting to board the plane. "Remember Duo, someone will be there to pick you up. Her name is Ms. Covey. Be polite" his mom said putting her hands on his shoulders. Duo nodded and looked at Usagi. His mom stepped back and let them be alone. "I'll write you every week" Duo said to her sad face. "Me too" she answered. "I'll call you when I can but that may be never" he said remembering that his mom said that they were not allowed to use the phones. Usagi nodded and tried to hold back her tears. "You can't leave now" she said sniffling. "I have to" Duo answered putting his hands on her shoulders. Duo saw that she was staring at the ground. Why did she have to cry? Duo remembered what he was keeping in his book-bag and opened it up. "Here. This is for you to keep" he said handing her a teddy bear. Usagi slowly took it from him and read what it said. 'Friends Forever'. Usagi tried her best to smile at Duo. "Thank you" she said looking at him. Just then they announced the boarding of Duo's flight. Usagi could feel the tears coming to her. Her eyes turned glassy. Duo looked at her sadly. He was leaving.
Suddenly Usagi ran forward and clutched his shirt holding her head to his chest. Her tears spilled out. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close to her comforting her. He could feel his shirt getting wet from her tears. "Don't worry we will see each other" he said soothingly. She nodded her head. "Please don't let go" she whispered. "I'm sorry Usa" he said softly. "LAST CALL FLIGHT TO FLORIDA" they heard. Duo let go of her. "I'll miss you" he said staring at her tear stained face. He kissed her fore head. "Me too" she answered surprised at his action.. He tipped her chin up so she looked straight at him. They stared at each other for a while. Usagi stood on her tiptoe- toes and kissed him on the cheek. "Bye Usa, Bye mom, dad!" Duo said waving walking onto the boarding area. "Bye Duo!" Usagi yelled after him waving. She studied him for a bit taking her last glimpse at him and then he disappeared.
Duo sat in his seat and buckled up. He touched his cheek where Usagi had kissed him. He felt something he had never felt before. He stared out his plane window and saw Usagi and his parents waving. He waved back but he didn't think they saw him. He took a good glance at Usagi and studied her. This would be the last time he would see her like this. Just then the plane started to move and his family and best friend disappeared from sight.
Usagi and the Maxwell's watched as Duo's plane took off and then headed back to the car. Usagi stared at the ground as she followed them. She would see Duo again but not for a long time. "I miss you already" Usagi whispered in a sniffle. She then remembered her promise to Duo and stopped crying. 'You'll always be my best friend' she thought. She lifted her head and followed Duo's parents to the car.
Hey! I know that was sad! I hope you keep reading this! Don't worry this story will be good! I hope you like it and write reviews! Ja ne! Usako
