Say Goodbye to Usagi...
"Rei, please let me explain myself!"
"Why? So you can give us another excuse why you were late? I don't think so! Now you listen to me. You are nothing but a lazy idiot that is always late to meetings, fights... Everything! You don't act like the leader of a famous fighting group or a princess of the Moon! You are completely irresponsible and we're sick and tired of it! I think I speak for all of us when I say this- We don't want you on our team until you learn to act like the leader you should be and the princess you are. So until then, don't come back," yelled Rei.
"Fine! If you guys feel that way, I will go!" Usagi shouted.
Usagi ran out of the temple and down the stairs with tears falling down her face. She ran until her breaths came in gasps. To her surprise, she found she had run to her and Mamoru's place at the park... Well, it used to be hers and Mamoru's.
Flash backs:
"Why does my life have to be based on our past?!"
"Usagi you dumped me for your new friends and then when they're gone you come and hang out with me. That's not what a real friendship is. I'm sorry but our friend ship is over."
"I just got a call from your school young lady... They told me that this is the third time this month that you are in danger of flunking out! If you don't pull your grades up you're going to be held back. I've tried everything to help you but either you don't care about your future or you just don't want my help. UGH! That's it go up to your room and pack your stuff! I'm sending you to a boarding school and I don't want you to come back until you've decided to be responsible! I'm giving you fifteen minutes."
End of Flashbacks.
She sat on their bench and cried well into the night. When she finally stopped crying she knew what she had to do. The Scouts, her friends, and her mom had all given up on her. They didn't want her anymore. She had to start over, get a fresh start... But she knew that she could never do that here... Everybody expected her to be stupid, irresponsible, ditzy, and klutz. No, she couldn't stay here with that kind of attitude surrounding her. She had a quite a bit of money saved up in the bank and if she hurried she could get there before the bank closed. With it, she could leave and start over, really start over.
Running as fast as she could she got to the bank and took out all her money. It ended up being around $4500. She walked out of the bank and into the nearest alley.
"Disguise pen, change me into a grown up with complete id!" She cried.
When she was done transforming, she was a 28-year-old named Lynn from Toronto. She smiled to herself, satisfied with the disguise. She walked quickly to the nearest travel agency.
"Hi, can I help you miss?" asked the angent. He was a man about 30 years of age.
"Yes, I would like a one way trip to Canada- Toronto, Ontario."
One hour later she walked out of the office with a ticket for the next plane, leaving in a couple of hours. She decided that she should write a letter to everyone explaining why she was leaving so they wouldn't worry. She addressed it to the arcade and wrote it quicly.
Letter:
Hi everyone!
(Motoki please read this to everyone aloud.)
I have decided to leave so that I can start over, and maybe grow up a bit. I'm sorry Mom if I am not the ideal daughter, but I do try... Girls, you were totally right... I'm not responsible enough for the *job* that we do. You guys can keep my communicator. I won't need it anymore. I hope on this journey I can somehow rise to your expectations.
Mamoru, I don't know what I did to upset you and I though I don't understand why you don't want to see me anymore- I guess you got your wish. Goodbye, I wish you all the happiness in the world.
Naru, I never meant to hurt you or abandon you. I'm so very sorry that I can't explain further... Please forgive me.
I will not tell you where I'm going and I'm not sure when I will be back, if I ever do come back. I won't come back until I'm sure I have lived up to everyone's expectations of me. I will miss you all terribly, but this is something that I must do.
Luv
Usagi
Finishing the letter she dropped it and her communicator into the envelope and sealed it. She decided to start walking to the airport, it would take her an hour to get there. She would have taken a cab, but she had to save her money... On the way she stopped at a mailbox and dropped her letter into the slot.
"Goodbye." She whispered.
The walk was a long one and it gave her tons of time to think. She knew the others would not like her decision, but she had to do it.
By the time she got there, the sun was already setting. She went through security and they checked in her luggage with great efficiency. She went to the lobby and waited for her plane to arrive. No sooner had she sat down, her flight was called. She stood to her feet and boarded with the rest of the passengers.
She was very tired and fell asleep as soon as her head hit her chair. She dreampt she was on the Moon wearing her moon princess gown. Queen Serenity appeared at her side and she turned and smiled.
"Mom."
"Yes darling, it's me."
Usagi began to cry.
"Mom I'm so sorry! I'm such a failure as a princess and as a leader of the scouts."
Queen Serenity reached out and pulled Usagi into an embrace.
"No darling... On the contrary, you are doing just fine and I'm very proud of you... However, I do believe you have forgotten one thing in going to Canada... You're going to need to know how to speak English. I have come here to give you a gift. A gift that you used to have in the Silver Millennium. We were able to talk to anyone because our language was the root of many dialects. We were able to understand what anyone said or wrote no matter what the language. I am now returning this gift to you so that you'll be able to speak English or any other language you come in contact with."
Serena looked into her mother's face and smiled.
"Thank you Mother. I never thought about being able to speak English."
"You're welcome child... But I must be going now, for I can only stay here so long. Do not forget that I love you, my beautiful daughter." Queen Serenity faded and was gone.
Usagi woke up to find that she was back in the airplane. She knew that the dream she had had been real... She had been able to smell and feel everything. That was something that did not happen in dreams.
"We will be landing in a few moments. Please put your chair in an upright position buckle your seat belt." The captain stated over the intercom.
Once the plain landed, people started getting up and off. Usagi followed them.
Once through security, she went into a bathroom and deactivated her disguise and became Usagi once more. She then headed over to get her luggage. She was glad she didn't have much to carry. She went to a store in the airport to get a map, she had no idea where she was going to go, but finding a hotel would help... After picking one that was close she went outside and started to walk. It was late afternoon, then sun was sitting again. It was hard to believe she had been on a plane for so long.
She walked quickly and really didn't look where she was going. The next thing she new she was on the floor with bags everywhere.
"Oops! Sorry about that, I wasn't looking where I was going..." said a deep, masculine voice.
Usagi looked up to see a young man about 20 looking down at her. He had blue eyes and short golden blonde hair.
"Oh its ok... I do that all the time. I'm use to it." She said quickly.
It took her a few minutes to realize that he had been speaking English and she had answered back in the same language... The gift her mom had given her was working!
"Rei, please let me explain myself!"
"Why? So you can give us another excuse why you were late? I don't think so! Now you listen to me. You are nothing but a lazy idiot that is always late to meetings, fights... Everything!
