CHAPTER 1: Memories

********************************************************************************************
LAST TIME
********************************************************************************************

"Nooo!! Not again!" Usagi bolted out of bed. Sweat lightly coating her young body. She is

only fourteen-years-old. Sitting up in bead she started to cry softly. These were not her

usual wail that gave everyone earaches, but soft heart-felt sobs.

"Why can't I stop these dreams? I've been having them since I was four." She could remember

the exact day that they started.

*FLASHBACK*

She was so excited. Her little brother was just born. She was at the hospital visiting her

mother and new baby brother. She had talked her father into getting pretty flowers for her

mother from the gift shop that was in the hospital. She got to hold them while her father

was paying for them.


While she was witing she had wandered off. During her exploration, she heard someone crying.

She quickly followed the sounds and found them coming from behind a slightly open door.

Quietly she opened the door wider and saw a boy sitting on a bed crying.


Without making a sound she went to the boy's bed and lay a hand on his.


"Please don't cry." chibi-usagi said.


Startled the boy looked up and their eyes met. Midnight blue clashed with crystal blue.


"Who are you?" he asked.


"I'm Usagi. Please don't cry anymore."


"I'm Mamoru and why shouldn't I cry?" chibi-mamoru asked petulantly.


Chibi-Usagi smiled. "Because today is a happy day, I get to be a big sister," she stated

proudly.


Despite the way he currently felt, Mamoru smiled. Then stopped as he remembered why he was

crying.


"I can't help that I cry.. I lost my parents in an accident and now my best friend is

leaving me. I don't have anyone to take care of me. I'm ... all alone ... now." During this

small speach Mamoru started crying again.


Usagi gently laid her flowers on the table beside the bed and crawled up to sit beside

Mamoru. Then much to Mamoru's surprise she gave him a gentle hug.


"I'll always be your friend." Usagi whispered to Mamoru. Slowly he began to respond and

hugged her back.


Suddenly Usagi got an idea and slowly pulled away from the hug. She leaned over and got one

of the roses she was gonna give her mother. She handed it to Mamoru.


"Here Mamoru this is a symbol of my friendship to you. This way whenever you see a rose like

this one you'll always think of me and I will always think of you."


Mamoru Took the rose from Usagi. "Thanks Usa-chan. I'll always remember you."


Just then Usagi's father came into the room.


"Usagi! Don'e wander off like that i was worried." Mr. Tsukino said.


"Sorry daddy, but I had to help my new friend." Usagi apologized. Hearing this Mr. Tsukino

couldn't stay mad.


"Well hurry up and say good-bye to him. If we don't hurry, you won't get to see your new

baby brother." then he went to wait outside the room.


Giving Mamoru another quick hug. Usagi said "bye Mamoru. I'll see you later."


Mamoru returned the hug a little sadly. "OK Usa-chan, I hope I can see you again." Then

chibi-usagi left the room to go see her new brother.


*END FLASHBACK*


Another tear slides down Usagi's cheek as she remembers that she never got to see Mamoru

after that day. When her father and her went to bring her mother and brother home the next

day, Usagi had ran into Mamoru's room but he wasn't there to greet her.


It was that night that Usagi started having dreams about a boy and his family. It wasn't

until she was about ten that she figured out that she was dreaming about Mamoru's family.


Every time she awoke from her dreams she always worried about her friend. She kept her

promise about the rose. When ever she sees one she thinks of Mamoru.


Sighing Usagi laid down again. Slowly she went back to sleep hoping that she would get to

see Mamoru once again.
