The meeting

The next day Bunny waited at the Hikawa temple at 3 o´clock. "This time I´m not the one who´s late" ,she thought, as she looked at her watch and saw, that it was 3:15. Just then Seiya, Yaten and Taiki came. "You´re late!" ,she shouted. "Sorry, honey. But we had an Interview and we had to stop it because of our meeting." ,Seiya explained. "Yeah, that´s why I hope that you want to tell us something important. We can´t waste our time." ,Yaten said angry. "Where are the others? You have to shout at them, that they´re late. Not at us." ,Taiki said. Bunny got nervous. "They seem to be angry. If I tell them the truth, they will be really angry." ,she thought, but then she decided to tell them the truth. "You see, the thing is... the thing is... I don´t know how to explain this. So let´s forget this." Now she decided that it would be better if she won´t tell them the truth. "What is it, honey? You wanted to tell us something." ,Seiya said and as Bunny looked into his eyes she had to tell the truth. "You know, the thing is. We are too early. The others will come at 4 o´clock." "WHAT?!!!" ,the three guys asked, very angry. "Because of you we broke up an important interview!" "It´s your fault if the magazine will write something bad about us!" "I thought you wouldn´t be that angry." ,Bunny said. "But we are angry!" ,Yaten shouted. Only Seiya didn´t say anything. "I don´t want to have anything to do with this situation. If I protect Honey, my brothers will be angry, but if I shout at Honey, she will be angry. So it´s better if I don´t do anything." ,Seiya thought. "I can explain the whole thing." ,Bunny said and then she began her explanation. "The thing is..." "Could you please stop your "The thing is" thing?" ,Taiki asked. "Okay. The thing is...no...sorry. I´ll start again. Yesterday I told Seiya that we´ll meet here at 3 o´clock. Then I phoned the others and they said, that they can only come at 4 o´clock. I wanted to phone you, but I don´t have your new phone number and I don´t know where you live now." Bunny finished. "So it´s your fault Seiya." ,Yaten said and looked at his brother. "What? Why is it my fault now?" "You should have given Bunny our new phone number or our adress. Then she could have told us the thing." "It doesn´t matter who´s fault it is. We are here now and nobody can change it. Going back takes too much time. So we have to wait till 4 o´clock. And during this time you can tell us why you wanted us to come here, Bunny." ,Taiki said. "Didn´t Seiya tell you anything?" ,Bunny asked. "No.",Taiki and Yaten said at the same time. "He never tells us anything about you or your dates with him." ,Yaten said. "They aren´t dates. They are meetings. Nothing more!" ,Seiya said. "What? Don´t tell me you didn´t tell them the truth about us.",Bunny said a little bit angry. "And what about you? Have you told your friends about us already?" ,Seiya asked. "No, because I haven´t met the others. But you, you live together with your brothers. You could have told them." Then they began to argue. "Do you know what´s going on?" ,Yaten asked Taiki. "It´s obvious. They´re in love." ,Taiki answered. Bunny and Seiya immediately stopped arguing. "We are acting like two, stupid, little kids.",Seiya said and smiled at Bunny. She smiled back. "That´s exactly what we are sometimes." ,she said.

"Yeah, you´re right. They are in love. And it´s very obvious." ,Yaten agreed to Taiki and then he said to Seiya: "I think we know what you wanted to tell us." "Yeah? How?" ,Seiya asked, not believing Yaten. "It´s obvious" ,Taiki answered. Bunny and Seiya blushed. "But I think, that you didn´t want us to come here only to tell us that?" ,Taiki asked, but it was more an establishment than a question. Bunny looked at him and nodded. Then she said: "The thing is..." "Not again." ,Yaten interrupted her. "Since when do you start all sentences with this "The thing is"?" ,Taiki asked. "Since yesterday, I think. I heard it in a movie and since then I can´t forget it. But don´t worry. When I forget the movie I´ll forget this sentence too. But I was explaining to you why you´re here. I try to make it short. A new enemy has appeared and we have to save the earth again. And we still don´t know who the enemy is." "That´s bad. We can´t transform anymore." ,Taiki said. "Wrong. We can. This thing, this white horse..." "You mean Pegasus." ,Bunny helped Seiya. "Yeah, that was it´s name. He gave us our powers back. So we can transform into the Starlights again." "Fantastic. We live a normal life on earth. Just beeing idols and fighters at the same time. I always wanted to live like that." ,Yaten said ironicly. The others didn´t say anything. They waited for 30 minutes till the others arrived. They went into the hall in the Hikawa temple where they always met to talk or to learn. But this time there weren´t only Bunny, Amy, Rei, Makoto and Minako. This time Seiya, Yaten, Taiki, Michiru, Haruka, Setsuna and Hotaru were there, too. They sat around a big table with tea and biscuits and Bunny couldn´t stop eating. "Could you stop eating now and tell us why we´re here?" Rei asked angryly. "If you want I can start for her." Yaten suggested and then he said: "The thing is..." And just then Bunny hit him. "You´re so stupid. Even more than Seiya... No, that´s impossible. Nobody can be that stupid." ,Bunny said. "Sure. Let´s take you as an example" ,Seiya said. Bunny looked at him and her eyes burned with anger. "I didn´t say anything...", Seiya said. "Only the truth.", he said that quiet that Bunny couldn´t hear it. "Could we please start beeing serious?" ,Haruka asked impatient. "She´s right. I don´t think that we came here to argue." ,Makoto said. "Okay, okay. I´ll tell you. The thing is, a new enemy has appeared, but we still don´t know who it is. Pegasus said that he needs our help to save the earth." ,Bunny told her friends. "So Pegasus is back. Chibiusa would be really happy to see him again." ,Minako said, but then she felt sorry for what she said. "Don´t worry Minako. It´s okay. I accepted that Chibiusa doesn´t exist anymore. Really." ,Bunny told her and smiled. But deep inside a part of her was crying. "Who could the new enemy be? And why is he here?" ,Rei asked. Everybody was quiet. Suddenly Hotaru said: "Not everything that glitters is gold. Our enemy is a very unexpected person. And we´ll have problems to kill him, because nobody would like to do it." "Why do you always have to speak in mysterys?" ,Bunny asked a little bit angry, because she was always the one who never understood Hotaru. "Our enemy is a person that we know and that we like. And nobody likes to kill a friend." ,Hotaru explained. "Now I understand!" ,Bunny said. "As always you´re the last one who needs a special explanation." ,Rei said. Bunny wanted to say something, but Amy stopped her. "We don´t want to argue. Or have you forgotten this?" ,she asked. "But she started!" ,Bunny shouted. "But you wanted to go on with it." ,Rei said and poked out her tongue. Bunny did it as well. The others smiled. "As always.",Michiru said. "I´m glad she´s okay again. Now I can´t imagine, that only a few weeks ago she was pale and thin." ,Haruka said. "Yeah, and it´s all because of Seiya, right?" ,Yaten asked and looked at Seiya. "I think that´s the right moment to tell the others the thing that you told us before." ,Taiki said. "But I just did it. Haven´t you listened?" ,Bunny asked angry. "No, we´re talking about the other thing." ,Taiki said. Bunny and Seiya blushed. "Which other thing?" ,Rei asked. "Go ahead, tell them." ,Seiya said. "Why me?" "Because they are your friends." "But they are your friends as well." "But they were your friends first." "Okay, because they can´t decide who should tell it, I´ll do it.",Yaten said. The others looked at him very interested. "The truth is, Seiya and Bunny are in love." "And that´s the other thing?" ,Makoto asked. "I thought you´re going to tell us something that we don´t know yet." ,Minako said. "Yes, maybe the date of their marriage." ,Rei said. "Then I could prepare the temple." "Rei, I don´t think that they are going to get married that fast. Mamoru just left Bunny and she could finally come together with her true love. I think they need more time." ,Amy said. "Amy, I didn´t aspect a thing like that from you, but I agree." ,Minako said. First Seiya and Bunny didn´t say a word. They just sat next to oneanother and blushed. "I knew they would react like that.",Bunny said then. "Yep, that was obvious." Seiya agreed. "You know what?" ,he asked. "What?" "I never was that happy when I argued with someone as I am when I argue with you." "Yeah, I think so, too. When I argue with you I´m sure that you aren´t really angry and that you won´t hurt me. You would never hurt me, right?" "Never, honey. I promise. I´ll never be angry with you and I´ll never leave you.",Seiya said and smiled. Bunny smiled back. Their faces came closer and they kissed. Just then the others stopped their conversation about Bunny´s and Seiya´s future. Bunny and Seiya broke their kiss immediately. "Why are you looking that stupid?" ,Bunny asked. "We aren´t looking." ,Amy said and so they started their conversation again. "Could you walk me home, Seiya? Or no, wait. I wanted to go to the stables and visit Moonlight." "Then I´ll take you to the stables. Then we could ride to the beach again. I think, this time there will be no watermonster." So they said goodbye to their friends and went to Mr. Tsuyo´s farm. They took Moonshadow and Moonlight and rode to the beach, exactly to the same place where they kissed for the first time. "When do you think the fights will be over?" ,Bunny asked Seiya. "I don´t know. But I know that I´ll stay by your side to protect you till the end of time. No matter how many fights may come or how long they´ll last." "You can be so cute. Sometimes you´re really stupid and the other times you can be very romantic. Girls love that." "I know, that´s why I´m so famous with girls." "So you like the other girls as well?" ,Bunny asked. She knew the answer, but she wanted to hear it from Seiya. "Maybe." "That wasn´t the answer that I aspected." ,Bunny said. Just then Seiya put his fingers under her chin, lifted her face and kissed her. "Is that the answer you wanted?" ,he asked. "Maybe." ,Bunny answered and hugged Seiya. "I want to keep this moment forever. Just you and me at the beach during the sunset." "If I could stop time I would make your wish come true. If I could I would make every of your wishes come true." "Then stay with me forever. Be always by my side. And then I can make your wishes come true." "I´ve got only one wish. I want to make you really happy. Remember? I want to see your laughing." "I´ll always remember every word that you said to me." ,Bunny said and looked into Seiya´s eyes. "Okay, then. What did I say to you last Friday at 3 o´clock?" ,Seiya asked. "You´re so stupid." ,Bunny said. "No, I´m in love." "That´s exactly what you said yesterday, before you said that I´m the girl you love." "And I´ll say it everyday if you want." They walked along the beach and then they sat down and looked up to the sky. It was night now and the stars shined bright.

"I love you Bunny. And I always will." ,Seiya promised. Then he kissed Bunny on her cheek.

Bunny smiled and said: "I´m so happy. I´m really happy." "No, you aren´t. Not now. But soon, very soon, you´ll be." ,Seiya said and put his arm around her. She leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. "Bunny?" ,Seiya asked after he looked at his watch and saw that it´s time to walk Bunny home. Just then he noticed that Bunny was sleeping. He put her on Moonlight and sat behind her. "I hope it´s alright when two persons sit on your back" ,he said to Moonlight. Moonlight nodded. So they went back to the farm. There Mr. Tsuyo brought the horses to their stables. "I´ll take care of the horses and you´ll take care of your girlfriend." ,he said. So Seiya carried Bunny home. In front of Bunny´s house her mother was waiting. "What happened?" ,she asked as she saw Seiya carrying Bunny. "She´s fine, Mrs. Tsukino. She´s just asleep." ,Seiya said. "Take her to her room. There you can lay her down on her bed. My husband would have done it, but he isn´t there and I can´t do it by myself." "It´s no problem. Your daughter isn´t that heavy." Seiya said as he carried Bunny upstairs to her room. There he laid her down on her bed. It was the first time he was in Bunny´s house. He kissed Bunny on her cheek and said: "Goodnight, honey. See you tomorrow." Then he went down again. "Do you like to drink some tea?" ,Bunny´s mother asked. "Sure. But I haven´t got much time. I have to go home, too." Seiya said and sat down on the couch. A few minutes later Bunny´s mother returned from the kitchen with some tea and biscuits. "So you´re Bunny´s new boyfriend. You´re very cute and I think you´re nicer than Bunny´s first boyfriend. I never really liked him. He was too old for Bunny and he always acted like a zombie." ,Bunny´s mother told him. "Really? I never really got to know him. Bunny often told me about him, but different people say different things. But how did you know, that I´m her new boyfriend? We didn´t tell it to anybody, but somehow everybody knows it." ,Seiya asked. "It´s obvious." ,Bunny´s mother answered. They talked for about 10 more minutes and then Seiya had to go. "I hope you´ll come more often. You can bring your brothers too, if you want to." "I´m sure that I´ll come, but if my brothers will come is another thing." ,Seiya said and left the house. Just then Bunny´s mother held him back. She looked serious now. "Seiya, promise that you´ll never hurt Bunny. I don´t want to see her in such pain again as last time." "I promise that this will never happen again. I swear it with my life." ,Seiya said very serious. Bunny´s mother smiled again. "Then goodbye. We´ll meet again." Seiya smiled back. "Yes. Goodnight, Mrs. Tsukino." And so he went home. "I hope Bunny will marry this guy. I like him." ,Bunny´s mother thougt as she washed the dishes.
