The Doorstep Angel
chapter seven

Usagi had just finished cleaining up her mess from pancakes when she heard the sound of a little bell.
" Oh good morning Luna," Usagi said with a smile.
" Meow," Luna just looked up at her with her big green eyes.
" You hungry?"
" Meow" =^-^= Luna smiled with a big meow. Usaig then stepped onto her stool and grabbed a can of cat food from the cabinet. As she opened the can Luna started to purr and rubb against Usagis leg, and as she set the food down in front of the cat Usagi patted her on the head. Just then Quatre walked out from his shower. His hair still alittle damp. He was wearing khaki shorts a pint polo shirt and a yellow sweater draped around his neck.
" Hi Usagi," Quatre said snatching an apple from the fruit bowl and taking a bite. Juice sliding down his cheek.
" Hi quatre," Usagi repled with a smile, "Im going to go change," She then walked over to the hooks there were six. Five were the height of the boys and one was her height. She draped her arpon on it and walked into her room. Beams of sunlight shown through her blinds. She lifted up her arms and slipped out of her nightgown. Then opening her drawers she pulled out a light yellow sun dress with little white daisies. As she slipped into it Luna walked in and sat up on her bed.
" Hoes it look?" Usagi asked her friend.
" Its great," Luna said.
" Thanks," She said tunrning back to look at herself in the mirror," Huh? Luna? You can talk?" Usagi said turning back around kneeling down to Luna's eye level.
" Hmmm, I guess so, I just said what I thought and it came out in words. WOW I can talk," Luna replied with a big grin.
" Quatre!!!! Are cats suposed to talk?" Usagi said sticking her head out into the hallway. Quatre then walked down the hallway to her door.
" No I dotn supose so, Why?" he replied.
" Oh, well Luna can,"
"Really?" Quatre walked into her room." Hello Luna, Usagi says you can talk, is this true?"
" Yes, Quatre it is true." Luna replied. Quatre was dumbfouned he did not know what to say.
" Well, well well," Quatre rubbed his head in deep thought, " You've got some cat there, Usagi,"
" I know, dont you love her?" Usagi said. ^-^
" Yes, we all do." Quatre then walked out of her room and left the two alone. Usagi got up and walked over to her vanity. She picked out a white head band a slipped it over her head into place.

Duo was walking down the street pondering what had happened this morning. The cherry blossoms were in bloom and gentle breezes every once in awhile would blow them off the side walk and into the air. They danced as the flutter back down to take their place on the concrete stage. Duo caught one in his hand as it was floating down. It reminded him of Usagi when they had first found her. So small and precious. It had only been five days and Usagi now looked as though she was ten years old. He wondered what happened.

As he turned the corner he came to a bus stop. There sitting on the bench was Usagi and Troaw sharing ice cream cones, wating for the bus. Usagi's hair was down to her shoulders and gleaming beautifully in the summer sun. Her sun dress fit perfectly with enough room to flow. To him she was turning into a beautiful young woman. He wondered, was this the only time she would jump age like that? He turned around as the bus came and walked back the other way, best to leave them alone, he thought to himself.
