Dear Diary

(This is the diary of a young girl named Hotaru Tomoe, who struggles with her feelings each and everyday. She pours her heart out into the diary, her pen poisoning the paper with her words. Hotaru keeps hunting for a friend, until she finds one; Serena (Rini) Tsukino.)

Dear Diary,

Hello again, it's Hotaru Tomoe again, all ready for her third entry yet. I don't mind if you call me Taru, instead of Hotaru, as that's what Rini has called me a few times. Ah! Yes, Rini. I have a lot to talk about today, some of it concerning Rini Tsukino. Anyway, I'll get on with the story that was today. Today was a fine day, I spent it at the park. Here I go to explain it all.

On Friday, Rini managed to catch up with me after school. I had been walking home, all alone once more. So many people used to walk home with me, now none do. It's pathetic the way they treat me. She handed me the cutest bagpack I've ever seen! It's a small cream bunny, with red eyes and wearing a patterned brown dress. After doing so, little Rini ran off down the street, waving a sweet goodbye. I opened the bag and inside was a little note. My hands reached inside the bunny and pulled it out. The note fell open. I've copied the letter into you, my Diary.

Hi Hotaru!

It's me, Rini! Anyway, I'd like to invite you to a picnic tomorrow. It will be held in the Main Park, at 12:00 pm. All you have to do is bring this bag. I hope you can come!

Love, Rini.

Beside Rini's name was a little picture of her. It was so kawaii! (Cute, yet in Japanese) And of course, I accepted the invitation to the picnic straight away. I thought it would be an excellent day out, spending it with my newest friend, Serena (Rini, in case you haven't read my previous entries) Tsukino. Kaorinite almost didn't me go, but my wonderful father persuaded her in a jiffy. I am thanking my father oh-so much, right here. I brought my gift from Rini, containing a few things inside it. An apple, a small bottle of water and Rini's letter. When I arrived at the Main Park, I spotted Rini and two other unfamiliar people standing beside her, looking shy, yet they were waving politely at me.

I greeted them with glee, pointing out the cute bag to Rini, who beamed with pride and joy. She introduced me to her sister and her sister's boyfriend. Her sister's name was the same as hers! It was Serena Tsukino. Serena's boyfriend's name was Darien, he was really kind to me. I guess Rini must have told them about my "sickness" as they were a little edgy. I smiled happily. We soon began the picnic, there was so much food in there, I guess someone was hungry when they packed it. Opening my little bag, I pulled out my small lunch. Rini shooed my food away and insisted I ate some of theirs. "Don't worry," she whispered. "My mom cooked it, not Serena, so you won't die anytime soon." I guess Serena heard her, as she gave her a small slap on the head. This made Darien, and I laugh out loud. The two stopped fighting immediately and sweatdropped.

Later on, after lunch, we played games in the field. Serena was like the vaulting horse, and Rini and I were vaulting over her. When Serena finally had a turn, she vaulted strangely onto the ground. Darien soon saw his friend who works in the park. The man led us into the greenhouses and showed us the flowers. I sniffed a couple of blooming red roses. They smelled so sweet. Soon after, a storm hit Japan and the Main Park. The man was trying to nail up the roof of one of the greenhouses, as hail had broken holes in many of the glass tiles. I followed him up the ladder and steadied him whilst he nailed one in. Suddenly, a "Heart-Snatcher (youma)" attacked once more. It was ugly, with roses and thorns. The youma leaped at Darien's friend and tried to take his "heart-crystal."

Luckily, Sailor Moon and Sailor Mini (Chibi) – Moon appeared once more. They helped beat the youma, whom had been summoned by that wicked lady Mimette. The youma put up a good fight, but was unable to defeat the defenders of crime, the Sailor Scouts. When the youma was defeated, a small pod fell onto the ground, along with a single rose, which fell to the ground and snapped in half. After a very pregnant pause, the man awoke and was thankfully alright and unharmed. Phew. What another exciting day. As soon as I got home, I collapsed on my bed, throwing the bag onto the bed beside me. I was glad that Rini had invited me, but, boy, was I beat. After laying down for a couple of minutes, I decided to write about it, and that's what I'm doing right now. Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow, hopefully. Love you forever.
