Hey! How's the story so far?!?!? I like it but Ne who! Did I go to far the
prom part or is it fine? O well I am hoping to put the prom in either this
chapter or the next. The chapter estimation for this story is 25 but I may
be wrong by a few. It depends on everything so any ways lets get to the
story!
Usagi walked into the classroom silently. She was scared like heck. The finals were today. She was at least glad to say she had gotten rid of the cold she had had, but with a lot of Duo's help. He had suggested certain things for her and they had all worked. She could tell immediately that he was going to become an awesome doctor. She didn't want to take the test now. It seemed too soon. Some people said she had prepared way too much for it. She didn't feel like that though. She felt like she was going to faint. She wanted the day to end as fast as it could. Later her and her friends were going to pick out their prom dresses. She still hadn't told them about going to the prom with Duo. He had said because they were just friends but she knew it wasn't like that. She didn't know why she had said yes though. Probably because this was going to be one of their last years together. Next year they would both be in a different college.
Usagi sighed and held her hands to her head. She really felt nervous now. How could she get through this? Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up startled from her thoughts to see Duo. He smiled and reassured her.
"You'll be fine" he said patting her and sitting back in his seat.
She smiled back at him grateful he was helping her. His smile cheered her up every time it seemed. She shook her head and sat back trying to be as prepared as she could. She looked up to see everyone with nervous looks on their faces. She saw the teacher in the front of the room. She waited patiently for the students to settle down so they could begin. Usagi took a big breath and waited not knowing what to expect.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Usagi come on! We're going to be late for the mall" Minako yelled as Usagi walked out of the front door of her house.
Usagi hopped in the car with her friends. They all had smiles on their faces. Usagi smiled back to them. What did she have in mind for a dress? Her mind floated back to Duo. She remembered talking to him earlier. He said he didn't care what she wore. She wanted something awesome though, something outstanding. Something that stood out and sparkled. She had no clue what but she would find out once they got to the mall. Her thoughts were disrupted by Minako speaking to her.
"Thanks for coming Usagi, I know you're not coming, I mean you were to watch us but since now your not and all. Thanks" Minako said putting in one sentence. Usagi nodded and tried to sort out her words. She knew she had to tell them, but what would they think of it? She was silenced for a bit but then spoke up very softly.
"I will be going just to let you know"
Minako looked back briefly and smiled. "But you will be standing there just watching us dance" Minako half complained.
"I will be dancing" Usagi said almost in a faint whisper.
Minako pulled over the car and stopped it to a sudden brake. They all looked at her in silence. They were too stunned. Usagi blushed and looked down at her lap. They were still too shocked and she knew they would want answers.
"well?" Minako asked waiting for Usagi's reply.
"Duo asked me" she answered waiting for a weird reply.
All of them couldn't speak but Usagi did for them.
"Can we just get to the mall?" she asked trying to get off the subject.
Minako nodded and tried to get out of her trance. She started the car again and they drove the rest of the way to the mall.
Usagi chatted with the girls endlessly on ideas for dresses. Makoto and Minako had a good idea for their dresses but the others and her had no idea. Usagi still wondered on about Duo. She tried to imagine him in a tux. It just made her giggle about the thought. She and her friends walked into the first store and looked around.
Usagi walked down the isle and a dress caught her sight. It wasn't really her type but definitely Ami's. The dress was a dark blue that hugged around the chest. It had half sleeves that slightly poofed out. It stayed straight around the upper part but then flowed down. Usagi knew Ami would love this.
"Ami! Get over here I found it!" she squealed with delight.
Four hyper teenagers rushed her way and immediately grabbed the dress from her. "OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH" Minako awed as she looked at the dress.
Ami looked at it and blushed slightly but on her face was delight that showed right through. "Fine she sighed, Ill try it on" Ami said taking the dress and heading toward the dressing room.
"1 down 4 to go" Minako chirped. The rest nodded and continued to look.
Usagi looked through stores but didn't seem to find anything. The girls had suggested millions but Usagi still said no. None of them captured her. She wanted it to be stunning and beautiful. She slowly trudged through the last store. This was their last hope otherwise she would have to go for an ugly dress, which she did not want. She skimmed the isle. Some stood out a little more than others did but they weren't the greatest color for her. She looked through the isles and saw mainly red and purple dresses, that seemed to be the colors this year. She skimmed a few more dresses and finally something caught her. This one was too stunning for words.
It was a light silvery blue. It was light blue underneath but over it was a light see through glittery fabric. It was a slight v-neck and it was spaghetti. A glittery see through scarf came with it that would wrap around her shoulders. Usagi loved it. Minako looked at it in awe too. This was a perfect dress.
"No fair! I want that dress!" Minako teased. Usagi just smiled at the comment.
"Well what are you waiting for? Try it on!" Minako exclaimed. Usagi nodded still in a daze. She took the dress over to the dressing room thoughts flowing through her head. 'Please let him like this'.
Usagi slowly walked up to the desk in the front of the classroom. Her hand shakily held on to her test. Her mind screamed to look over it again for the thousandth time. She slowly handed it to the teacher her arm extended. The teacher smiled and took the test. Usagi tried her best to smile back. Her future depended on that test. Usagi sighed and walked back to her desk and waited for school to end. Later every body would come back for the prom. She had already seen them preparing for it. She rested her head on her arms and closed her eyes. 'Just a small nap' she thought. Before she knew it she had fallen asleep.
"Usagi"
"Usagi"
Usagi slowly opened her eyes and looked around confused. Her eyes were barely open and she could barely could see Duo in front of her.
"Hmmmmm?" she moaned in confusion.
"Schools over" he said softly.
Usagi perked up. "Oh wow, I must have slept long" she muttered.
She didn't feel like getting up. She was about to when Duo stopped her. "Save your energy" he said suddenly picking her up and bringing her to the bus. She sighed letting him hold her. She was a little nervous but didn't care. She rested her head against his chest and fell asleep once again.
Duo slowly carried Usagi back to her house. He opened the door and slowly walked her up to her room. She was a sleeping angel in his arms. She had a peaceful look on her face and was half smiling. He couldn't wait for tonight but he also dreaded it. Tonight was the only night to tell her how he felt. He sighed and lowered her on her bed. He slowly kissed her on her forehead and left. Once he was out of sight Usagi opened her eyes and touched her forehead lightly where he had kissed her. She sighed and got ready for her friends to come. It was going to be chaos.
"Usagi! Where is the pink lip-liner?!" Minako shrieked frantically. Usagi sighed and went over to her counter. She shuffled through the piles of make- up and found it. Minako smiled and started to apply it to her lips. Usagi smiled but sighed everyone had been in such a hurry. They had all taken turns for showers and now they were taking turns doing each other's make- up. Right now they were doing Ami and it was going good so far. They had done Makoto and Rei already who both looked stunning. Usagi was going last so she could do her friends every time. Usagi thought for a second observing Ami. There was something missing but she couldn't tell what. Then it snapped to her. She took her blush brush and added just a dab on her left cheek. She smiled in completion.
"OK Minako, You're next!" she announced. Minako smiled and sat down in a chair in front of the mirror. Usagi took out her brush and ran it through her friend's hair a couple times. Then she observed it for a style that would dazzle Quatre. Usagi picked up the curler and curled Minako's front bangs. Then she pulled her hair into a half ponytail letting the rest flow gracefully down her back.
Usagi then took out the cover up and applied some to Minako but made sure not to put too much on. Usagi worked as best as she could and when she finished Minako finally opened her eyes. She glanced at herself in the mirror. "I love it!" she shrieked. She got up and gave Usagi a small hug. Now it was her turn.
All the girls got up excitedly for Usagi. They all wanted to do her at the same time. Usagi felt eight hands all over her head. She tried not to laugh and to keep still but it was very hard. She kept her eyes closed and waited for the result. Makoto and Rei fought over what to do with her hair while Minako and Ami tried to decide what eye shadow she would get. Usagi felt like she was going to die. It felt like an hour before they were done. Her head was numb all over and she couldn't feel any of it.
Her eyes fluttered open and she stared at herself in the mirror. She was astonished at her look. She couldn't explain it. Her friends stood excitedly behind her. Usagi let a big smile appear on her face. She got up and hugged them all. She then realized the time. She started to panic once again.
"Guys! We have five minutes!" she yelled. They all ran to get their shoes and put on the last of the perfume and jewelry. Usagi slipped on a pair of thin high heels that wrapped around her ankles an then put a silver necklace. She grabbed her purse and scarf just in time to hear the door- bell ring. They all giggled excitedly and let Usagi's mom answer the door.
Usagi was the last to walk down the stairs. Duo eyed her beauty. He had never seen her this way. She sparkled like no one else ever could have. Her hair was in many twists on top of her head and her dress was awesome. He tried not to let his jaw drop in amazement but it was pretty hard. She sparkled like magic and walked grace fully down the stairs. Duo couldn't stop staring at her she seemed to be the center of attention.
When she got down stairs he held out his arm and she linked hers with his. He smiled down at her and she smiled back at him. Usagi waved off her mother and the pairs walked out of the door. Usagi couldn't help but see how close Duo was to her. She was a little uncomfortable about this but knew she would have to get used to it for later. He was rather handsome looking in his tuxedo. It did make her giggle though. Duo looked down at her confused.
"What is it?" he asked looking around wondering what she was giggling about.
"You" she said in between giggles.
"Me?! What about me?! Do I really look that funny?" he teased.
Usagi just kept giggling.
"Your going to get it now" He exclaimed.
Usagi barely had time to react before he picked her up in his arms. He smirked at her as he brought her to the limo.
"Duo Maxwell! You put me down this instant!" She yelled still laughing.
"No way! You made fun of me!" he teased.
He placed her in the limo where he finally let go of her so she could sit down. She sat down on the comfy seat next to Duo and waited for the car to get moving. She glanced around noticing her friends were talking to their dates. Her and Duo were the only ones playing around. Suddenly they both fell silent and stared at the others. The talking stopped and they all stared at the two.
"What?" they asked confused.
Duo and Usagi just laughed.
"MAXWELL!" Wufei yelled. He was now fumed that he did not have his Katana with him. The tuxedo didn't come with a place where he could hide it. He was about to get up when Rei pulled him back. Usagi looked over at the terrified Duo who looked like he was about to jump out of the moving car.
"Your fine" Usagi reassured him patting him on the arm. He smiled at her but didn't say anything. He sat back in the cushion of the car and relaxed. He closed his eyes trying not to think what would happen to him in a couple of months. Going to college and getting a job had been a real stress out for him. He had even been frightened if he would get in or not.
Usagi immediately realized this and worried for him. He was brave and daring. 'He shouldn't be stressed out like this' she thought. Then the voice came into her head again. 'Since when did you care for him?'. 'Never' Usagi answered back angrily. This would be one of their last days together as friends. After that they wouldn't see each other. She would go on living her life in a totally different world than him. She didn't expect to see him after she would go to college. After this week they would probably not see each other again. Then Usagi wouldn't have to think about it anymore. She would finally get over the pain. Something in her heart tugged at her for some reason. 'Wrong' the voice answered. Usagi tried to shake it out of her head.
Usagi hadn't even realized that the car had stopped. She was snapped out of her thoughts by Duo nudging her lightly in the arm.
"Come on" he said holding out his hand to help her out of the car. She just nodded silently. She hopped out of the car and slowly walked in the building with Duo. Their footsteps paced together in a rhythm and Usagi tried to get out of her trance. She wanted to slap her self but she couldn't, not in public at least. She saw other couples walk in also as they were too.
Usagi walked in the dance area with Duo and was amazed. The room was half dark and only a dim purple light sowed its presence on the stage. Duo took her hand in his and took her to face him. He walked her slowly on to the dance floor and took her other hand. He pulled her a little closer and let them selves sway in the soft music.
Usagi's hands felt warm in his as she slowly danced with him. She glanced around the room and looked for the rest of her friends. They had already found them selves lost in their own world. Usagi sighed. She wished she wouldn't be this afraid but she couldn't help it. She had been terrified last time she had had a real boyfriend. She wish she could feel real love. 'You already are' the voice answered. Usagi shook her head slightly and glanced up at Duo. He smiled down at her.
"Do you like this?" he asked softly.
She nodded smiling.
As the prom continued Usagi seemed to get lost in him. Her body was now against his in the last dance. His eyes sparkled and reflected hers. She felt warm against him and didn't want to break apart. Her dress sparkled brightly in the dark room and gave out her inner beauty and outer. Their eyes were on a lock. Usagi stared into the friendly and comforting eyes. Her feet slowly moved on the ground with his. She wasn't concentrating on her feet though. She was lost in him. His eyes slowly brought her inside of him. They showed everything he felt or loved. Images floated in her head as she stared at him. What was this feeling, the one she had denied for so long? She tried to get herself out of the trance but it was too late. She had seen almost everything in him, his dreams and everything included. And one of the biggest things was her.
"What's wrong" he asked not breaking the eye lock.
Usagi slightly shook her head. "Nothing" she answered softly.
Without thinking she rested her head on his chest and slowly closed her eyes.
"Usagi..I" Duo tried to sort out.
"What?" Usagi asked.
"I,I wanted you to know this before I leave tomorrow" he said softly in her ear.
She nodded on his chest and continued to listen but hoped it wasn't what she had not wanted.
"I wanted you to know that I care for you very much. I wanted you to know that...." he couldn't say it. His throat started to clog up. How could he say this. It seemed so difficult. He took one more surge of bravery and got ready to say it.
Usagi took her head away and stared him straight in the eye. 'Please, no' she thought. What was going to happen. She couldn't tell. Her eyes met his in another lock.
"Usagi, I love you" he croaked. Trying his best to say it. It had come out strangely but he had said it. He stared in her shocked eyes. They were covered in fear but in the small part of her eye she showed love. Yes he had seen it. He didn't know what to say. His eyes searched her for more of what he had seen. He didn't realize their faces getting closer as they stared at each other. Their breaths danced together as one realizing what was happening.
He sealed the gad and lightly covered his lips in her own. The kiss was passionate and soft. Usagi couldn't help but respond a little. The kiss was long and slow showing his emotions. She wasn't sure about hers. His lips were warm and soft against hers and lightly moved over them. His lips were like a craving. She couldn't get enough. Her mind screamed in fear but her heart longed for more. Who was she supposed to believe? She pulled away softly. A tear came down her cheek slowly. It glistened on its own.
"Iie" she whispered. She started to back away. Why had this happened.
Duo looked at her in a sad expression. Had he read her wrong? Did she really love him? Or was it something else? Was her fear taking over? His heart dropped in pain off a high cliff and couldn't stop falling. He had finally admitted it to her and the result had not been good.
"Duo, Gomen but I just can't, I'm not ready" she whispered. More tears streamed forward. She ran toward him.
Her heart tugged at every part of her soul. 'This can't be happening!' she screamed. Duo slowly nodded. He embraced her tightly and let her cry.
She was a tenshi in her own way. One that came from love and everything she was made of.
"I'm sorry Usa" he whispered gulping down the pain in his heart.
She didn't reply to his response. She hadn't wanted this to happen in her mind. But in her heart it begged for everything. She knew she had to say something.
"Duo, I will always be your best friend, never forget that. I will visit you and watch you forever, Right now I'm just not ready" she whispered trying to hold the constant tears. She noticed the song had come to an end and everyone was waiting for them.
Duo wrapped an arm around her and brought her slowly to the exit. Maybe later she would confess it. He had said it too early though. His heart felt broken. He only wanted her, he was sure of it. He could see both of their hearts were broken. He hadn't wanted it this way. 'Oh Usa' he thought in his head as he escorted her to the limo.
*Sniffle* That was so sad! I hope you guys like it! Don't worry something will happen but I'm not going to say! You'll just have to wait for the next chap! Hehe lol! ^_~ Ja ne! Usagi Princess
Usagi walked into the classroom silently. She was scared like heck. The finals were today. She was at least glad to say she had gotten rid of the cold she had had, but with a lot of Duo's help. He had suggested certain things for her and they had all worked. She could tell immediately that he was going to become an awesome doctor. She didn't want to take the test now. It seemed too soon. Some people said she had prepared way too much for it. She didn't feel like that though. She felt like she was going to faint. She wanted the day to end as fast as it could. Later her and her friends were going to pick out their prom dresses. She still hadn't told them about going to the prom with Duo. He had said because they were just friends but she knew it wasn't like that. She didn't know why she had said yes though. Probably because this was going to be one of their last years together. Next year they would both be in a different college.
Usagi sighed and held her hands to her head. She really felt nervous now. How could she get through this? Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up startled from her thoughts to see Duo. He smiled and reassured her.
"You'll be fine" he said patting her and sitting back in his seat.
She smiled back at him grateful he was helping her. His smile cheered her up every time it seemed. She shook her head and sat back trying to be as prepared as she could. She looked up to see everyone with nervous looks on their faces. She saw the teacher in the front of the room. She waited patiently for the students to settle down so they could begin. Usagi took a big breath and waited not knowing what to expect.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Usagi come on! We're going to be late for the mall" Minako yelled as Usagi walked out of the front door of her house.
Usagi hopped in the car with her friends. They all had smiles on their faces. Usagi smiled back to them. What did she have in mind for a dress? Her mind floated back to Duo.

Minako nodded and tried to get out of her trance. She started the car again and they drove the rest of the way to the mall.

"Come on" he said holding out his hand to help her out of the car. She just nodded silently. She hopped out of the car and slowly walked in the building with Duo. Their footsteps paced together in a rhythm and Usagi tried to get out of her trance. She wanted to slap her self but she couldn't, not in public at least. She saw other couples walk in also as they were too.
Usagi walked in the dance area with Duo and was amazed. The room was half dark and only a dim purple light sowed its presence on the stage. Duo took her hand in his and took her to face him. He walked her slowly on to the dance floor and took her other hand. He pulled her a little closer and let them selves sway in the soft music.
Usagi's hands felt warm in his as she slowly danced with him. She glanced around the room and looked for the rest of her friends. They had already found them selves lost in their own world. Usagi sighed. She wished she wouldn't be this afraid but she couldn't help it. She had been terrified last time she had had a real boyfriend. She wish she could feel real love. 'You already are' the voice answered. Usagi shook her head slightly and glanced up at Duo. He smiled down at her.
"Do you like this?" he asked softly.
She nodded smiling.
As the prom continued Usagi seemed to get lost in him. Her body was now against his in the last dance. His eyes sparkled and reflected hers. She felt warm against him and didn't want to break apart. Her dress sparkled brightly in the dark room and gave out her inner beauty and outer. Their eyes were on a lock. Usagi stared into the friendly and comforting eyes. Her feet slowly moved on the ground with his. She wasn't concentrating on her feet though. She was lost in him. His eyes slowly brought her inside of him. They showed everything he felt or loved. Images floated in her head as she stared at him. What was this feeling, the one she had denied for so long? She tried to get herself out of the trance but it was too late. She had seen almost everything in him, his dreams and everything included. And one of the biggest things was her.
"What's wrong" he asked not breaking the eye lock.
Usagi slightly shook her head. "Nothing" she answered softly.
Without thinking she rested her head on his chest and slowly closed her eyes.
"Usagi..I" Duo tried to sort out.
"What?" Usagi asked.
"I,I wanted you to know this before I leave tomorrow" he said softly in her ear.
She nodded on his chest and continued to listen but hoped it wasn't what she had not wanted.
"I wanted you to know that I care for you very much. I wanted you to know that...." he couldn't say it. His throat started to clog up. How could he say this. It seemed so difficult. He took one more surge of bravery and got ready to say it.
Usagi took her head away and stared him straight in the eye. 'Please, no' she thought. What was going to happen. She couldn't tell. Her eyes met his in another lock.
"Usagi, I love you" he croaked. Trying his best to say it. It had come out strangely but he had said it. He stared in her shocked eyes. They were covered in fear but in the small part of her eye she showed love. Yes he had seen it. He didn't know what to say. His eyes searched her for more of what he had seen. He didn't realize their faces getting closer as they stared at each other. Their breaths danced together as one realizing what was happening.
He sealed the gad and lightly covered his lips in her own. The kiss was passionate and soft. Usagi couldn't help but respond a little. The kiss was long and slow showing his emotions. She wasn't sure about hers. His lips were warm and soft against hers and lightly moved over them. His lips were like a craving. She couldn't get enough. Her mind screamed in fear but her heart longed for more. Who was she supposed to believe? She pulled away softly. A tear came down her cheek slowly. It glistened on its own.
"Iie" she whispered. She started to back away. Why had this happened.
Duo looked at her in a sad expression. Had he read her wrong? Did she really love him? Or was it something else? Was her fear taking over? His heart dropped in pain off a high cliff and couldn't stop falling. He had finally admitted it to her and the result had not been good.
"Duo, Gomen but I just can't, I'm not ready" she whispered. More tears streamed forward. She ran toward him.
Her heart tugged at every part of her soul. 'This can't be happening!' she screamed. Duo slowly nodded. He embraced her tightly and let her cry.
She was a tenshi in her own way. One that came from love and everything she was made of.
"I'm sorry Usa" he whispered gulping down the pain in his heart.
She didn't reply to his response. She hadn't wanted this to happen in her mind. But in her heart it begged for everything. She knew she had to say something.
"Duo, I will always be your best friend, never forget that. I will visit you and watch you forever, Right now I'm just not ready" she whispered trying to hold the constant tears. She noticed the song had come to an end and everyone was waiting for them.
Duo wrapped an arm around her and brought her slowly to the exit. Maybe later she would confess it. He had said it too early though. His heart felt broken. He only wanted her, he was sure of it. He could see both of their hearts were broken. He hadn't wanted it this way. 'Oh Usa' he thought in his head as he escorted her to the limo.
