AN:Thanks for all of ur awesome reviews! Here's another revised chappy! Oh and all the songs in this chappy are mine! No stealing or Sueing!


Months had past, now nearing the six month pregnancy line Usagi waddled over to the recording desk.

Usagi and the boys had been getting along great over the past few months.

Usagi sat on the couch near Seiya. They were so close Seiya could feel the body heat coming from her; he could smell the cheeseburger she had for lunch and the strawberry flavored shampoo she used. HE looked at her, thinking of the changes she made. Her hair no longer in its original Odango's now reached down to the middle of her back, cut quite choppily. She didn't seem to care though. It still had it's endless shine. Just like she did.

He wanted to grab her and kiss her brains out but he couldn't, although they were close to each other she felt so far away from him.

Suddenly Seiya snapped out of his daydreaming when he heard the producer's voice over the speakers.

"Ok, we have some good news and some bad news. The good news is we have a new song, the bad news is we have to premiere it at our concert next week."

Seiya felt Usagi tense and grabbed her hand.

"Its ok Usagi its just one concert." he reassured her, but that did all but convince her.

"How is it ok Seiya, I'm 6 months pregnant and bigger than a horse…how is that going to look?" she screamed at him. He let go of her hand and shook his head.

"Usagi It matters who you are on the inside and who you want to become. You can do this because we all have faith in you." He told her back. She smiled. It was rare to get a smile from her when it was Seiya, he felt pretty proud of himself.

After receiving nods from everyone in the room Usagi was fine, she would do a great job she knew she would.


One week later...

Usagi was nervous, no beyond nervous, the concert was soon and she was scared to death.

"What if they don't like me?" Usagi asked herself "I mean think about it, I'm 18 years old and 6 months pregnant?' she was talking crazy. She had her doubts about the whole thing, and she knew she was entitled to them.

"What's so wrong with being eighteen and pregnant it's a blessing no matter who its father is." she told herself. Now she was talking more sense. She ran a brush through her hair.

"After all this could be publicity for the boys…" that statement got Usagi thinking

"There is no longer 3 people in this group, does this mean we have to change our name?" she decided she would have to talk to the boys about the name of there some-what newly found band.
The studio

Everyone sat down and Usagi was the first to talk:

"Ok we have to figure out a new name for our little quartet" they all nodded in unison surprisingly.

"How 'bout The Loner squad?" Taiki said getting evil glares from everyone in the room. Seiya shook his head in embarrassment from Taiki.

"No, I think since Usagi is the newest addition to the group she should choose." he gave Usagi a look that said 'go ahead' and Usagi nodded.

"Well I'm not so good at naming things but how does Starlights sound?" Everyone nodded and she received whispers of "Good choice" from everyone.

"Well since we have the concert tonight how 'bout we all practice?" Seiya asked

"Sounds good to me" was their answer


Usagi was amazed as she looked out at the audience, Seiya had just introduced her and she was awarded cheers from all the people around her. She had decided she needed a change from her real name. She quickly decided on the English equivalent of Usagi.

"Usagi say something!" Taiki whispered, as she appeared next to him on stage.

Usagi Nodded and placed the microphone at her reach.

"Hi everyone how are ya'll doing?" she screamed in perfect English. They shouted loadly and Usagi smiled.

"I'm Serena and I'm here to make your night rock!" she said as the music began to play.

"This song is called Broken Rose" Usagi said into the mic.

You told me that you loved me
I found it was a lie
My heart is lost forever
You hid it away to die

My soul will never fix itself
I know I can survive
I'll hide here all by myself
I make it through the night

'Cause you handed me the broken rose
With thorns of tragic pain
you handed me the broken rose
Of love I won't give out again

You'll never know the pain you caused
'Cause I refuse to let it show
I wish that I could give you back
That painful broken rose

The thorns u left imbedded
Will never go away
The hardest part about it is
There was no way that I could stay

The whole time I was with you
I never looked away
But now I have a reason
To throw that love away

'Cause you handed me the broken rose
With thorns of tragic pain
You handed me the broken rose
Of love I wont give out again

You'll never know the pain you caused
'Cause I refuse to let it show
I wish that I could give you back
That painful broken rose

I'll remember till the day I die
Just how long that our love last
I'll remember till the day
I die Of our tragic painful past

But as for now the broken rose
Sits safely in my lap
The broken rose that I refuse
To put back together again

Usagi had just finished singing broken rose and was about to hand the microphone over when an array of applauses filled the concert hall. Usagi could not believe it, all of the applauses, all of that was because of one song.

Seiya stared at Usagi, she sounded even better in front of hundreds of people than in rehearsal. He wanted her now more than anything and this was the night he was going to get her.

"Ok all! This song is called holding me back" Taiki said over the microphone.

Taiki: Tell her you don't love her,
See how she feels

Yaten: Tell her there's someone else,
Watch her shed her tears

Seiya: Then send her on her way,
Hurt and broken hearted

Usagi: but then again that's not us girls fault,

If I was stronger, I would have never had let u win
If I was stronger, I wouldn't have just walked away
If I was stronger, I would show you I'm not afraid

Hold me back cuz its my turn,
To show you I don't need you,
To show you I can make it,
And not go more beneath you

Hold me back cuz other wise,
I might just go insane,
That a moron like you,
Actually tried to scare me away.

Hold me back or you might see,
The Tiger that has formed within me.

The whole place cheered and Usagi and the boys bowed. So far the whole night was flawless, and for once Usagi was glad she had ran away.

"This song is called moonlight path" Usagi said.

Usagi: Outside in the moonlight,
Calm and clear as night,
Walking to the flowers,
As purple as the sky

Color all around us,
Lighting up our eyes,
The scent of sleeping flowers,
Bring us to life

Seiya: Looking into your crystallized eyes,
And the smooth scent of your hair,
I see the moonlight surrounding us,
Love is in the air

Usagi: I wasn't ever this happy
To be so close to you,
But now I cant control myself,
I want to run away from you

Taiki: I scream your name,
What have I done,
How could things go this way,

Usagi: I keep on running,
as fast as I can,
I have to get away

Yaten: I was a moron,
Why can't she see,
All I want is her,
I want her to need me

Seiya: but now she'd gone
and now I have
to walk this path alone

It was intermission and Usagi was in her changing room, she all of a sudden wasn't feeling too good.

"Of all the times to be getting sick it had to be now" Usagi mumbled to the mirror she was staring into.

"Well I guess that's one of the perks of being six months pregnant." She said.

She suddenly heard a knock at her door.

Usagi stood up. She knew who it was and why they were there, but Usagi wasn't ready to go back out onto the stage just yet.

"Usagi 5 minutes 'till show time" Seiya said from the other side of the door.

Usagi opened the door staring at Seiya teary eyed, he had no idea what may be wrong with the angelic pregnant woman in front of him.

"Usagi what's the matter? Are you ok?" Seiya asked enveloping the woman in his arms.

"Seiya I'm not feeling too good right now, do you mind singing one of your old songs, you know, without me out there?" she stared at him again, her eyes pleading with him to understand.

"Of course Usa, I know you probably need some rest." He said putting an arm around her in a very uncomfortable way.

Usagi stood there not daring to move, she didn't want to seem rude.

"Um, you better get out there and start singing Seiya." Usagi said hoping he'd just leave.

"Yeah I guess your right Usa, take it easy ok" he told her. She nodded and watched him leave.

Seiya walked out of her room, and Usagi felt a sudden chill crawl down her spine. It was as if Seiya's touch scared her.
