Usagi walked in her house from another exhausted day of school. Since Duo was coming later after school she thought on working on her book. She had also thought of making some chocolate chip cookies. She grabbed her notebook with her half-finished story and sat it down at the table. She sighed and thought of the last time that she had written part of the story. It was called "Once in a Lifetime". She had worked on it for about two years now but since she had been busy with her last year of school and everything following she hadn't even written anything.

Her book was about a girl with an awesome dream for a perfect life. She had had problems with family issues and school and it was not coming true. When she met a certain guy everything changed. She had sent parts of it to Duo when he had been in Florida but she hadn't ever continued it. Usagi grabbed the contents for her cookies and gathered them all into the counter. Just as she was about to add the ingredients she heard the door- bell ring.

She thought Duo was coming late but maybe she was wrong. Usagi wiped her hands together and opened the door. In front of her instead was Minako. Both stood there in silence not knowing what to do. They both felt terribly guilty since the last time they had spoken to each other.

"Come in" Usagi mumbled.

Minako walked in and Usagi shut the door behind her. Minako stared at her shoes trying to sort out what to say.

"Usagi......I, It was my fault, I'm so sorry." she apologized. She looked Usagi in the eyes and saw Usagi's eyes change in emotion.

"It's not your fault, It was mine, You were right, It has everything to do with Derek and Duo. I should have spent more time with you guys. I made an awful decision. I never told you anything" Usagi answered blankly.

"Usagi" Minako sobbed. She went up to her friend and hugged her tightly. Both not saying a word.

Both let go and smiled at each other.

"So are you happy about the play?" Minako asked smiling.

Usagi smirked. "Yes" she answered.

"Do you want to help me bake cookies?" she asked pointing to the ingredients and the bowl on the counter top. Minako smiled, she loved to cook.

"Love to" she answered walking over to the counter.

Both of them added the ingredients and started to stir them. Minako kept tasting the chocolate chips for freshness. Usagi just laughed at her friend. Both left a lot of batter in the bowl because they already had enough cookies on the cookie sheet.

Usagi took the cookie sheets with the cookie dough and placed them in the oven. She could feel the burning heat on her skin. She closed the oven and looked back at Minako.

"So how are you and Duo?" Minako asked with a sly grin.

Usagi wondered why Minako had this grin on her face. She had been asking about them all day. Then it snapped to her. There was only one way why Duo and her had made the top parts.

"Minako?" Usagi asked with a grin on her face.

"What?" Minako asked now scared of what Usagi would do.

"You made sure me and Duo got the lead parts didn't you?" Usagi guessed.

"Well, you , see , um, well" Minako stuttered.

Usagi took the bowl of cookie dough and took a handful. She flung it at Minako who got it in her hair. Minako screamed and grabbed for the bowl. Usagi placed it on the counter and threw another fist full at Minako. This time it hit her face. Minako threw some at Usagi and it also got in her hair. A war got between them and the kitchen started to become a mess. Minako was winning so far. Usagi was covered form head to toe in cookie dough. At the last second Usagi pinned Minako down with her arms. Usagi forced Minako down with her arm power and sat to the side of her.

"Thought you would win huh?" Usagi teased.

"Um" Minkao mumbled.

Usagi laughed and took the cookie dough bowl to her side. Minako stared in horror.

Duo walked up to Usagi's door. There was no reply. He heard screams inside the house. Was everything OK? He decided to let himself in and stared in horror as a ball of cookie dough hit his face. He licked it off. And looked around. Minako was pinned to the ground by Usagi. None of them realized him. He still had cookie dough on him.

He looked at Minako and realized she had a fear stricken face. It looked like there had been a real war in here.

"What's going on?" he asked still wiping the cookie dough off.

Both girls looked up startled. Usagi looked back at the clock and realized what time it was. Minako took her chance and got out of Usagi's grasp.

Usagi tried to get her back but she hid behind Duo in fear. Usagi just laughed. She had won. She looked at Duo who had a very confused look on hi face. He had just gotten the rest of the cookie dough off of his face.

Usagi scratched the back of her neck looking for an answer.

"We were just having fun" she answered trying not to laugh.

He nodded with a weird look on his face.

Usagi laughed at his face. "I guess we need to go over our lines" she stated changing the subject. As Usagi went to go get her script book she realized that Minako was getting a sly look on her face. She gulped hoping something bad was about to happen. Her dream came true.

"So Duo comes over when your parents aren't home? Are you guys sneaking this behind our backs? What games are you two playing any ways?" Minako asked with a sly grin.

Usagi and Duo went blank. Usagi was left in shock. Minako was teasing them of sleeping together, heck no! By instinct both her and Duo ran for the cookie dough bowl and threw hand fulls at Minako. Usagi grabbed another bunch of cookie dough and threw but instead it hit Duo. She gasped and stepped back.

Minako lunged at her and so did Duo. They pinned her down and smirked.

"Guys?" Usagi asked uneasily.

Duo smiled and grabbed the chocolate chips. While Minako pinned Usagi down he put chocolate chips all over her. He stuffed them in her mouth, ears, and even nose. Usagi screeched as best as she could but her mouth was full of chocolate chips. Her torture didn't end there. Duo took the cookie dough and spread it all over her face. Usagi stared at him wide eyed. Minako finally let go of her. By now the chocolate chips had melted in her mouth. The rest had fallen out. There was chocolate smeared all over her mouth.

After Minako left Duo and her started to clean up. Usagi didn't bother cleaning herself up. Once the kitchen was cleaned and the cookies were out of the oven. Usagi and Duo ate the cookies while going over the lines.

Duo once again came up to the part they had left at yesterday. He decided to bring up a conversation instead.

"You have chocolate up and down your mouth" he stated

"What does that have to do with the play? Unless you want to clean me up" she teased.

"Fine" Duo answered.

Usagi's eyes widened in shock from what Duo had said. Was he kidding? She looked down at her script page and realized what part they were at. Now she knew what he meant. Was he really going to do this?

Usagi stared into Duo's eyes intently. She seemed locked on him. She could never get his eyes off hers. They would always lock. Usagi felt something she had never felt before. She felt his breath mix with hers and touch her soft skin. His eyes shone with everything. He was awesome. Usagi stood on her toes and closed the gap. She was surprised she had been the one sealing the kiss.

She felt his soft lips touch hers and she was lost in everything. She didn't pay attention to anything. She was lost in emotions she had never felt. His lips started to move on hers, he wanted her to reply. She unconsciously started to kiss back their lips moving in synch. Usagi's mind and heart went farther than her mind and fear. Duo could taste the chocolate on her lips. Her lips were sweeter but it still tasted good. He was not getting all the chocolate off. Since she was responding he went a little farther. He let his tongue come out and brush across her lips. This way he got all of the chocolate off of them. Usagi was shocked by this and slowly parted the kiss. She stared at him sadly. She hadn't wanted to go that far.

"Usagi, I'm sorry" he whispered. He hadn't meant to do that. Why had he done that? It was as if his body longed for more. His hand reached out and caressed her cheek and rubbed it softly. Usagi nodded understanding his words. She could tell he was truly sorry.

"Lets continue" Usagi said trying to forget it.

Duo nodded and continued. He hadn't meant to do that. Now he felt guilty. Now every time he kissed her it felt like he had to go farther. He felt so bad. He would never do it again unless she wanted him to. Duo couldn't get the thought out of his head.

Over the next two months they continued to practice just not as much of the kissing. They knew they were ready for that part. Usagi tried to avoid Duo as much as she could but instead she longed to be around him for some reason. He was just a friend to her so why did she feel this way? Duo could feel the barrier thinning little by little every day. He really liked Usagi but didn't want to say anything at the moment. He thought he would just hurt her and make her life more difficult. He seemed to notice pairings starting to form in his group. Quatre and Minako were obvious. They weren't getting very far though. He knew though Quatre sometime would build the courage to ask Minako to the prom at the end of the year. Rei and Wufei were always fighting but the other day he had caught Wufei actually calling her by her name and being nice to her. Heero although was hiding behind his usually emotionless self was getting caught under Makoto. She seemed to be convincing him to brighten up. Trowa and ami were always blushing when staring at each other, Duo had always liked to make fun of them which made Ami blush extremely. Trow a just stayed silent.

On the night of the play Usagi tried to calm her self down from the excitement of performing. She had gotten over nervousness for a while now. Although she wondered if anything would happen during the play. Her and her friends were at her house doing her make-up and hair since she had the lead role. Minako kept making fun of her because of her and Duo. It just made Usagi madder. It seemed crazy with all of the girls talking at once. Everyone was giggling and talking about how they would do in the play.

When Usagi was finished she looked at her self in the mirror. She didn't look half bad. Although she wondered what she would look like if she went to the prom. Of course not with a boy friend but just to hang around with her friends. Usagi was told that they were to be picked up by Quatre in his limo at six. It was not 5:59. Usagi panicked and yelled for all of them to get downstairs.

Usagi opened her front door and saw Duo waiting for them. Usagi smiled and stared down at her shoes.

"Ready?" he asked trying his best to cheer her up.

"Yeah" Usagi answered. He walked in front of her to the limo. Rashid let them in and they all some how fit into the back. Usagi was squished between Minako and Duo. Minako kept elbowing her into Duo. Usagi felt like pushing her on top of Quatre at the moment. She just couldn't though.

Usagi stood behind the curtains waiting for her cue. It was almost time and they were introducing the play. She wasn't nervous at all. She couldn't wait. She looked over at Duo and noticed her was really nervous. She slowly walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder. "It'll be OK" she whispered. He looked at her and smiled.

"It's your turn" he told her. She nodded and left for the stage.

He watched as she left eagerly for the stage. She was not one bit nervous. He couldn't believe her. She had been through so much and here she was doing her best. He admired her for it. He heard her voice form behind the curtain she was doing a great job.

Usagi stepped toward Duo and stared at him. He was waiting for her on the stage. This was the moment, the one that she had feared. She saw the audience watching them. What if they didn't do good at this part? What if the audience wanted more? Usagi stared intently in his eyes. This kiss was going to be the same but she could still see the emotion glowing through his eyes. He slowly leaned down his face getting closer to hers. Her eyes told him she was ready and she wanted to show a good show for the audience. He slowly closed the gap between them. His lips claimed her own He made the kiss a good one. Their lips moved together in synch in a soft kiss. She responded to his warm comforting lips. His arms were on her shoulders and hers on his face. They traced over his face tracing his features. She almost forgot the audience and the play. They slowly parted the kiss and then continued the play.

At the end of the play Usagi and Duo walked on the stage last. They were holding hands and smiling widely to the crowd. He squeezed her hand and messaged her palm. She squeezed it back and they both bowed to the audience. Usagi held on to his hand when they walked off the stage. Something told her not to let go. She heard a wild applause. She had done an awesome job.

"Duo............" she whispered.
