A New Beginning

"Usa-chan, I'm so happy for you! I hope you have a wonderful time with Haru." Aki said to her blonde friend, enthusiastically. Tonight was the night Usagi would go on her first date since her break up with that Mamoru guy. She hoped she'd be happy.

"Oh, thank you, Aki-chan! I'm glad you approve of this, most people would think I'd be insane to go out with a trouble maker." Usagi answered as she brushed her hair in front of the mirror. Aki had offered to stay with her until her 'date' arrived, just for support. Just like Minako and the others used to do… "Do you think I'd look good in the red dress with the flowers or the black, sleeveless dress with the zipper?"

"I don't know, Usa-chan. I'm not all that familiar with fashion."

"Oh, Aki! Just pick the one you like best."

"Well, I'm not sure…where's Haru taking you?"

"I don't know, he didn't say, actually…come to think of it, he doesn't seem like the type to be all fancy or anything."

"Nothing is as it seems, my friend."

Usagi looked at Aki in wonderment, it never seized to amaze her when her best friend spoke so maturely. As if from experience… "You're right, A-chan. I guess I'll go with the black one."

"Okay."

Usagi finished brushing her hair and began to put them in their usual odangos when she stopped her self. It's time for yet another change. She thought. "Aki, hand me my srunchie will you?"

"Sure…here you go."

"Thank you."

Again Usagi grabbed her brush and then quickly brushed all her hair back then took her srcunchie and tied it around her hair, making a high (and rather long) pony tail. She took a wisp of her hair and curled it around her finger before grabbing the black dress she chose from her closet. She slipped it over her head and asked some assistance from the brunette on her bed. Aki stood and helped Usagi zip up the back of the dress then turned her around to face her.

Aki looked as if she were about to cry. "You look beautiful, Usagi. You're going to knock him dead."

Usagi was surprised by Aki's true sincerity and the reality of it was haunting. Aki was no simple friend who be there at your greatest moments and then leave you hanging when you needed her the most, she was a true friend who would always be there for you through thick and then. Just like the senshi. A look of pure joy replace her surprised face and she hugged her friend- no, best friend- tightly. "Thank you, Aki… I appreciate you so much…"

"USAGI! Your DATE is HERE!!!" She heard her younger brother, Shingo, yell from down stairs.

"Hurry, now Usagi. You don't want to keep him waiting, now do you?"

Usagi smiled and gave her friend yet another hug before rushing off to meet Haru. She reached the stairs and stopped herself from falling all the way down then slowly, step step, descended down the stairs until she reached the ground. Someone reached for her hand and slowly brought it to his lips. "You look stunning." A man said beside her as he let go her hand.

"Thank you, Haru."

"You're welcome. Let's go before the night passes us by."

She giggled, "We'd better or else you'll have to meet my father."

"Then let's go. Bye Shingo, I'll bring you those trading cards on the next date I have with your sister."

Haru wrapped his arm around Usagi's waist and walked out of the door. They reached his car and when she was in side Usagi questioned him. "What was that all about."

He started the car and looked at her, "What, the trading card thing? I found out your brother liked Fushigi Yuugi and told him and give em' some of my own."

"That's sweet… now, who said I was going on another date with you? We're not even through with this one."

"I just have a feeling we'll be going on a lot more in due time after this."

"Is that so? Then tell me, Mr. Know-it-all, where is it that we're going anyway?"

"It's a secret."

She rolled her eyes in exasperation, "At least give me a hint."

"Fine, do you like to dance?"
