Usagi sat on Rei's bed studying a few note cards Ami had given her to study for her Trigonometry test. Rei sat at her desk typing out her English assignment; she was only allowed to make four errors out of a six-page essay. Ami sat at the table writing out her book report on the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", she was making the others read it in segments because it resemble the Lunarian empire. Minako sat reading her segment on Usagi's legs with wide eyes and a slight smile as Makoto sat beside Ami working on her Woodshop project, a dollhouse with all accessories.
"Have any of you guys noticed that every time there's a banquet or feast that someone gets killed or someone plans to kill someone?" Minako asked not looking up from her segment.
"Yes, like on the moon kingdom, there were numerous banquets where someone wouldn't emerge the room," Ami said. "That's why we weren't permitted to take part in any when your father was present Usagi."
"I had a father?" Usagi asked shocked.
"Well that's how everyone is created, a mommy and a daddy, do we need to explain the birds and the bees to you again?" Minako asked pulling out two dolls.
"I believe she's traumatized enough to not do it for a long time," Ami said grabbing the Barbie and Ken dolls away from her. "I think I know what you mean but your father was always there for you Usagi."
"What?" Usagi asked confused.
"You didn't even know your own father, Jeez Usagi!" Rei shouted throwing up her hands.
"He never told her he was her father Rei," Ami said heatedly. "And then he left when she turned fifteen."
Usagi lied looking confused at the others, apparently they knew more about her past then she did, she sighed deeply and began trying to memorize Sine, Cosine, Tangent, Cotangent, Cosecant and Secant (Those who took Trigonometry know the pain of trying to remember how to do these).
"Whatever," Rei said angrily turning back to her work. Ami face turned slightly red with anger, she made a small huff and began reading her book again, the subject of Usagi, and her memory always struck a cord in one of them.
"Ames," Usagi called softly releasing some tension unknowingly.
"Yes?" Ami answered.
"For number 6, Y=4 and X=37.18, right?" Usagi asked.
"Actually, X=38.2, you have to round to the nearest tenth," Ami said with a frown.
"I was supposed to round?" Usagi asked sadly correcting her answer as Minako nodded.
"That's your problem Usagi, you never read the directions fully," Makoto said grabbing some sanding paper. "You do the same thing with cooking."
"I do read the directions!" Usagi said defending herself.
"She just have a short term memory from too many knocks to the head," Minako said defending her friend, Usagi nodded in agreement before realizing what she was saying, upon realization she threw a paper ball at her blonde friend angrily.
"Well I guess that's true, you did take a major hit last week when that boxing youma attacked," Makoto said blowing some dust off her creation.
"The week before that she took a dive into the fountain to avoid a blast and knocked herself unconscious for a while," Rei said chewing on a pencil while typing at a steady pace.
"That self-detonation youma blasted us all just two days ago," Minako said.
"Maybe its time you undergo a bit of training Usagi," Makoto said looking up with worry on her face. "You've been getting knocked around a lot lately."
"It's those thick wings," Rei burst turning slightly to look at Usagi. "I apologize in advance but those wings are a safety hazard. Their rigid, heavy and you can hardly fly in those things, it looks more like you're just gilding."
"Actually, it is scientifically impossible to fly with those wings," Ami said shyly.
"It's a bothersome to us! They prevent a perfectly good shot! Your wings are two blunders, personally I think you'd be better off without them," Rei shouted furiously.
"It's not my fault!" Usagi shouted with tears in her eyes sitting up. She grabbed a cushion and hugged it close to herself, she detested her wings more than anyone, and only Luna knows how many times she tried to make them perform.
"She's right, it isn't her fault," Makoto said as Minako pulled Usagi up into a hug.
"No one's blaming you Usagi," she whispered softly to her blonde companion. Usagi relaxed in her arms, Minako always had a way of soothing them.
Luna entered the room with Artemis with a letter in her mother; it bore the crest Serenity used to seal her letters and a tree stamp. She sat ready to explain when she noticed the scene, her princess sat on the bed upset as Minako comforted her, Rei sat looking regretfully at her, Ami was shaking her head and Makoto blew some hair her out of her face. She cleared her throat making them all look at her as she climbed into her princess's lap.
"I have important news," she announced. "I have just received a letter from one of Queen Serenity's contacts. It seems that Usagi was to be sent to train with Princess Ayeka and her brother Yosho when she turned seventeen but seeing as the kingdom was destroyed on that day, it never happened. There is good news though, Yosho has just contacted us and wants you to begin training as soon as possible."
A silence filled the room; they all knew what to expect if Usagi accepted, she would be sent to Juari, a completely different solar system. They knew it would be best if she left but they couldn't help themselves, the only thing they kept were each other and they were going to keep it that way.
"No," Usagi said firmly and clearly. She refused to depart them after all they have given up to stay with her, she knew what would happen if she departed.
"I don't think you understand me," Luna said her claws digging into Usagi's leg slightly. "You don't have a choice, tomorrow at noon you're going there willingly or not."
"What do you mean she doesn't have a choice?" Minako asked suspiciously.
"Yosho of Juari will pick her up tomorrow at noon, if she isn't at her home at that time, he will bring her to him," Luna said.
"And by that we mean he will make her come to him magically," Artemis said.
"We knew that Artemis," Minako said scolding him.
"Can any of us come with?" Ami asked quickly.
"No, she must go and train without any of you to help her, perhaps Yosho will allow you all to visit her but I somewhat doubt it, Yosho training program is very strict," Luna said. "I doubt I will be able to see her once they start."
"Maybe you should start packing up to go Usagi," Rei said turning back to her work.
"I can't believe you would send her off like that!" Makoto said shocked.
"No! I would never do it but I feel as if this is necessary, Usagi needs to be at her best, and if she must train to be at her best then so be it but I can guaranteed you, Usagi will not be going to another planet," Rei said her eyes turning red and her hair waving like flames of fire.
"We don't have a say in the matter," Luna said sadly. "I doubt we'll be able to say goodbye properly."
"Maybe we should have a sleepover," Minako suggested.
"No, my mom want me home tonight. He probably has an excuse and my parents want to tell me now," Usagi said getting up.
"I should head home too," Minako said getting up. Artemis jumped on her shoulder as Luna did the same with Usagi.
The two left and began down the street to their homes; they walked in silence unsure of what to say. Artemis and Luna tails were linked together and swayed in unison.
"Luna, will you go with Usagi?" Minako asked breaking the uncomfortable silence.
"I don't know, but I will try," Luna said.
They reached the front of Usagi's house and stopped, Usagi looked at her home knowing her family was waiting for her as Minako held her head down.
"Usagi, promise me you'll try and contact us everyday," Minako pleaded.
"I will, and don't be so sad. It's not like it's the last time we'll see each other," Usagi said with a soft smile. She walked in her house with Luna and waved bye to her friend.
"But what if it is?" Minako asked herself waving sadly. _*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
