Part 3: The Dance...
~Party~
As the party winds to an end, The music's over and Mamoru still hasn't shown up and night is starting to set in. Most of the guests are gone, including Usagi's reluctant parents(as they were upset that Usagi hadn't had her sweet 16th dance yet). Ami and Makoto are on the second-floor balcony, Minako and Setsuna are outside, and Usagi's at a window looking out at the sky above(the stars starting to come out).
Rei looks over at the odango-atama from across the room, wondering why Mamoru hadn't come.
"So, The 'boyfriend' didn't show up, afterall." Haruka says, as she sits down beside Rei, laying her arms across the back of the couch.
Rei turns to the tall blonde, then back to the princess, "Nope. And, I thought he loved Usagi."
"It was a horrible thing to do." Michiru says, standing next to the couch, "Missing Usagi's sweet sixteenth birthday."
"She looks lonely." Haruka adds.
Rei nods, "No girl should be lonely on their sixteenth birthday." she says, still looking at the odango-atama.
"Yeah, Every girl deserves, at least, a dance on their sixteenth." Haruka says.
Rei nods again.
"So, Why don't *you* dance with her?" asks Haruka.
"What!?" Rei says, turning quickly toward the tall woman.
"Yeah." Haruka says, taking her arms off the back of the couch and turning to the raven-haired girl, "Why not?" "Afterall," she adds in a low whisper, "You *do* love her, ne?"
Rei's cheeks turn a light red, "Uh, But--"
"Uh Uh!" Haruka says, cutting her off, "No 'buts'! Look... You, myself, Michiru, and Usagi are the only ones here. What d'you have to worry about?"
"You're not going to give me a choice, are you?" asks Rei. Haruka shakes her head. "Fine..."
After a few minutes, Rei walks over to Usagi who is now sitting down still looking out the window. Haruka and Michiru start another song.
"So, No one to dance with?" asks Rei, slightly nervous(though it doesn't come out in her speech).
Usagi looks up at the other girl, "Well, The person I want to dance with hasn't asked me, yet." she replies.
"Well, I..." she starts to turn around.
"Rei?" Usagi stands up, "What is it?"
'Be strong Rei!' the miko states to herself, then turns back to the odango, "Would you, um... like to..." she stops and clears her throat, "Would you like to dance, Usagi?" she holds out a sligtly nervous hand.
Usagi looks at the miko for a moment, then smiles brightly, "Oh, Rei!" she says, placing her hand in Rei's, "I'd love to!" Rei smiles.
They begin dancing, Rei holding Usagi's right hand with her left and her own right hand on the left side of Usagi's waist, Usagi's left hand is placed on Rei's right shoulder. Both girls are blushing slightly.
~Outside, near a tree~
"So, You've been here the whole time?" Luna asks Mamoru. He nods.
"Why didn't you go in? It is Usagi's sweet sixteenth." Luna says.
He nods his head toward the nearby window, "See for yourself, Luna." he says. Luna looks and, through the window, she sees Rei dancing with Usagi.
Mamoru turns to leave and Luna starts to say something but, he interrupts her, "They're the ones that belong together. I know Rei will never break Usagi's heart, the way I have. And, Rei needs Usagi... her friendship and love are Rei's main reasons for still living."
"But--"
"I will not stand in the way of their love, Luna." Mamoru says, as he walks away, "And, I don't believe you should either."
~Back Inside~
Usagi leans up slightly and presses her lips softly to Rei's, for a second then turns away. The two stop dancing for a moment and Rei lifts her right hand from Usagi's waist to turn the blonde's face back toward herself.
"I'm sorry Re--" Usagi's cut off as Rei returns the girl's kiss, pressing her own lips to the odango's. After a moment, Usagi responds to the kiss, pressing her lips back against Rei's. During which, The two start dancing again.
By this time, the other four senshi have come back from where they were and see Rei and Usagi dancing... and kissing. The two break their kiss and look deeply into each other's eyes, conveying the feelings that neither has been able to say. Usagi then moves her left arm around Rei's shoulders and lays her head against the miko's right shoulder, Rei in turn lays her own head against Usagi's and she moves her right arm around the blonde's waist.
"Thanks Rei." Usagi replies, smiling, "For making this the best birthday I've ever had." then whispers, "And, For the dress."
Rei pulls her head back and looks at Usagi, "You knew?" she questions.
"Yep." Usagi says, looking back at Rei, smiling brightly, "You gave it away."
"Am I *that* transparent?" asks Rei.
"Yep." Usagi replies, again, "To me, at least." then she giggles and adds, "I love you, Rei." she pulls herself close to Rei again.
"I love you too, Usagi." Rei replies, smiling, "Happy sweet sixteenth."
