Konnichiwa Minna-san! Hope everyone likes this chapter. I heard Kelly Rowland's new song and fell in love with it, so I had to include it. I don't own anything, but I wish I did.

Music From My Heart

Neo Princess Moon

Chapter 6: Stole

Sung by: Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child



*He was always such a nice boy*

*The quiet one*

*With good intentions*

"Are you sure you'll be alright? I can cut my classes and show you around if you want." Seiya offered as he dropped Usagi off at the school office. It was her first day of American school. She had been working really hard with Taiki to catch up so that she could get good grades.

"Your too paranoid. I'll be fine. It's not like there are snipers waiting just so that they can shoot me." Usagi said laughing.

"Alright. Be careful Usa-chan. They rest of the boys around here are dogs, and I don't want any of them taking you for me." Seiya said leaving.

"You act like I belong to you. I'll be fine, stop worrying. I've been around boys before and I know were they're most sensitive." Usagi said getting an evil grin of her normally angelic face.

"OK. I'll see you here after school." Seiya called over his shoulder."

"Will Miss Tsukino please step into the office." Said an elderly woman from behind a desk.



*He was down for his brother*

*Respectful to his mother*

*A good boy*

*But good don't get attention*



Mamoru fell back into an uneasy sleep. Again he saw Usagi at school, but this time she was waving goodbye to Seiya, the boy from the Three Lights. He watched her go into an office. She seemed to be meeting the principle. After talking for a while the same girl from the last dream came into the room. She introduced herself as Mary. Then she took Usagi to class. Usagi seemed to be happy. Mamoru again began to smile in his sleep, but he couldn't ignore the fear he felt in the pit of his stomach.

*One kid with the promise*

*The brightest kid in school*

*He's not a fool*

*Reading books about science and smart stuff*

*But it's not enough, no*

*'cuz smart don't make you cool*



Usagi followed Mary down the hall ways. "So what's your favorite subject?" Mary asked. Usagi considered the question for a moment.

"Well, I love to sing, and I love poetry." Usagi said still deep in thought.

"Oh my god. Did you write the song you sang at the performance the other night? I was there. You were so awesome. My friend Jikon lives in Japan, and was watching the concert. She totally fell in love with you voice. She was asking were she could get you CD." Mary stopped babbling when she noticed the horrified look that had come over Usagi's face.

"The concert was being broadcast in Japan?" Usagi said her voice shanking.

"Yah, why? Do you have a boyfriend there or something?" Mary asked innocently.

"I. . . . I did." Usagi said hanging her head.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up a sore subject. I'll tell you what. Let me make it up to you. I'll get you a milkshake after school K?" She said her eyes shining earnestly.

"You don't have to do that, but I do like milkshakes." Usagi said smiling.

"Great. I have drama after school, but I'll meet you at 4:30, OK?" Usagi looked into Mary's deep brown eyes. She reminded Usagi of Minako.

"Drama club?" Usagi asked interested.

"Yep, I'm gonna be a star!! I even have the same size hands as Marilyn Monroe, I went to California this summer and put my hands in the imprints, you know that ones at Mann's Chinese Theater show." Mary said giving Usagi the V for victory sign. Usagi laughed. She defiantly reminded Usagi of Minako. They didn't look alike, but there was a confidence about both of them.

"You go girl!" Usagi said giving her a high five. They entered the locker room, and started to change into their gym clothes. Once they were finished they walked out and started watching the boy warming up. "Hey who's that?" Usagi asked noticing a particularly good player.

"Oh that Greg. He's really good. He's trying out with the Sixers this Saturday. You should come out and watch with me!!" Mary said.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." Usagi said.



*He's not invisible anymore*

*With his Father's 9 and a broken fuse*

*Since he walked through that class room door*

*He's all over prime time news*

Mamoru sighed happily. He was glad that Usako was happy. Even if she found someone else, he just wanted her to be happy.

*Mary's got the same size hands*

*As Marilyn Monroe*

*She put her fingers in the imprints*

*At Mann's Chinese Theater Show*

*She could have been a movie star*

*Never got the chance to go that far*

*Her life was stole*

*Now we'll never know*

Usagi got her books for her math class. She was nervous. She had been studying really hard, now she would see if it had paid off. A boy brushed past her in a hurry. He seemed upset. Usagi was about to call after him and see what was wrong when she felt Mary's hand on her shoulder.

"Don't bother. That's George. He's just got problems. I feel kinnda bad for him, some of the other boys are really mean. However I wouldn't try to talk to him, he never talks to anyone." Mary said.

Usagi sighed and shrugged. She was just getting acquainted here; she couldn't afford to tick anyone off right now. She'd try to talk to him some other day. With that they headed off to class.

*They where crying to the camara*

*Said he never fitted in*

*He wasn't welcome*

Mamoru turned over in his sleep. This boy, George made him uneasy. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he was afraid that he would hurt Usagi.

*He showed up at the parties he was hanging in*

*Some guys were pushing him down, bullying him round*



Walked in with Mary close beside her. They talked and laughed. Usagi was trying desperately to stop feeling so nervous. It was just a math class, she shouldn't feel so nervous. She was about to take her seat when she heard someone yell. "He's got a gun!!" Usagi heard a shot fired and turned around in time to see a bullet coming straight towards her.

*Now I wish I would have talked to him*

*Given him the time of day*

Mamoru saw him come in, and instinctively knew he had a gun. He fired a shot toward Usagi. Life seemed to be going in slow motion. Mamoru felt himself being lifted somewhere else.

*Not turned away*

*If I woulda been the one to maybe go this far*

*He might have stayed at home*

*Playing angry chords on his guitar*

Usagi wanted to run, but it was coming too fast. She waited for the pain to come through her. Suddenly she felt herself being pushed out of the way. She hit the floor hard. Another shot was fired. Then another. She heard screaming. She looked up to see Mamoru's figure on top of her. She blinked and it was gone. Head it just been her imagination? There was no way. She looked around and saw that Mary was on the ground beside her. She looked around and saw Greg slumped over in a chair. Both were covered in blood.

*He's not invisible anymore*

*With his baggy pants and his legs in chains*

*Since he walked through that classroom door*

*Everybody knows his name*

Mamoru awakened screaming. Again the girls rushed in.

"Mamoru it's a dream." Ami said after he explained what had happened.

"No, you don't understand. I know it was real." Mamoru said convinced that he had been living in reality.

"Look. If it was real then it should be on the news by now right?" Ami said looking around as everyone nodded. "So to prove to you it was a dream we'll turn on the news." No sooner had Ami finished her sentence than the phone rang. Mamoru grabbed it.

"Moshi, moshi." He said.

"Mamoru-san. Please turn on channel 5. It's the news." Usagi's mother's voice was crying. Mamoru did as she told him. An American news reporter stood outside a school speaking in English with subtitles appearing.

". . . today at Artemis Junor High School a young boy walked in with a gun and fired three shots. Two people were killed. I'm now standing with Usagi Tsukino, who you may know as the talented warm up act for the Three Lights. Today she literally dodged a bullet. The reporter said turning to Usagi.

"Oh my god. My dream." Mamoru stuttered.



*Mary's got the same size hands (Oh)*

*As Marilyn Monroe*

*She put her fingers in the imprints (Ooh)*

*At Manns Chinese Theater Show*

*She coulda been a movie star (She coulda been a movie star, oh)*

*Never got the chance to go that far*

*Her life was stole*

*Now we'll never know (Now we'll never know, oh)*



A news reporter shoved a microphone in a panicked Usagi's face.

"Did George fit in at you school?" The news reporter asked. Usagi was terrified. She had just survived and her first friend she had made in school hadn't. How could this happen. Why did this happen? Had Mary ever done anything to George? She couldn't have done anything that would justify taking a life. Usagi felt a warm hand of her shoulder. She looked up to see Seiya.

"Miss Tsukino has no comments. Leave her alone." He said glaring coldly at the reporter and steering Usagi away from the crowd. As soon as they were out of the bright lights Usagi broke down, and began to sob uncontrollably. One question lingered in the back of her mind. 'Had Mamoru really been there?'

*Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away (20 feet away)*

*He had a try out with the Sixers*

*Couldn't wait for Saturday (Saturday)*

*Now we're never gonna see him slam*

*Flying high as Kobe can*

*His life was stole (Stole)*

*Oh now we'll never know*

Mamoru turned to the girls. They stared at the TV in absolute horror. "I thought I should tell you. I know that you really cared about Usagi." Ikuko said.

"Doumo arigatou Tsukino-san. I'll tell the rest of her friends." Mamoru said.

"Anytime." Ikuko said hanging up the phone.



*Now we'll never never never know*

*Mmm now we'll never never never never know*

*Stole (Stole)*

*Oh whoa yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah*

Usagi walked up to the stage. It was two days after the shooting, and she had been asked to say something at the assembly the school was putting on in honor of Greg and Mary. "On Monday we lost two wonderful people. I barely knew either of them, but already they showed me kindness. When I was asked to speak I was terrified. I'm no good at public speaking. SO instead of giving a long speech I wrote a song. I hope everyone likes it." Usagi took a deep breath and nodded to Seiya, Taiki and Taten, who stood behind her playing the instruments. Then she began to sing.

"Mary's got the same size hands (Same size hands)

As Marilyn Monroe (Oh)

She put her fingers in the imprints

At Manns Chinese Theater Show (She was gonna be a star)

She coulda been a movie star (Oh no)

Never got the chance to go that far (Never got the chance)

Her life was stole (Stole, stole)

Oh now we'll never know

(Now we'll never never know, no)

Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away (He had game, oh)

He had a try out with the Sixers

Couldn't wait for Saturday

Now we're never gonna see him slam (Never see him)

Flying high as Kobe can

His life was stole (Stole, oh)

Oh now we'll never know

(Now we'll never never know)

Oh no no no

Yeah their lives were stole." Usagi finished her song. Everyone including herself was crying. "Thank you very much." She said leaving to podium. On the other side of the world Usagi's family and friends watched and cried as they saw the pain Usagi felt at the loss of a friend.
