Chapter Two: Three Shooting Stars
"Oh my god! I can't believe that it's all over. I. I feel like crying." Shouted a happy Minako.
"Why? We've already gone out of High School for about. 15 minutes ago. Do you want to start school again? And so soon?" Rei teased while checking her watch.
"No, miss hello-I'm-a-hot-tempered-priestess-going-over-to-sarcasm! I feel like crying because we finally get peace here, achieving our dreams, surviving high school and now beginning a new life." Minako said with tears in her eyes after saying it all.
"Yeah, I too, can't believe we finally graduate together" Ami said crying on to Ryo, who was comforting her.
"Me too! I feel a new beginning form. A new chapter." Usagi smiled while tears falling down her cheek.
"Hey, why are we all standing here for, feeling sad and crying our eyes out? Come on, let's go to one of my restaurants. It's on the house!" Makoto laughed, while crying.
"Well, what are we standing here for? Let's go before I start to cry." Rei said, while tears starts forming in her eyes.
Later on, at the restaurant."I can't believe that my little baby girl has grown up to a young beautiful and intelligent woman. It seems only like yesterday, when I first held you in my arms. When I heard you say your first words "Daddy", when I saw you take your first steps and when." but the last words was cut by Kenji's cries and muffles like "I'm old." and "I have to see monsters running after my daughter!" ^_^;;
"There, there." Ikuko says, while trying to comfort Kenji.
"Congratulations everyone, and especially you, my koneko-chan! I told you that you would do great."
"We're very proud of you, Usagi-hime."
"Thanks, Haruka-chan, Michiru-chan!" Usagi smiled at the beautiful couple.
"Usagi-chan! Congratulations. I'm so happy for you, hime!
"So am I. You've really grown up into a beautiful woman. And I'm really proud of you, my princess." Setsuna and Hotaru said.
"Thank you, everyone! For believing in me and all" Usagi said with tears now forming again in her eyes.
"I'm very proud of you, Usako!" a man's voice was suddenly heard.
Usagi turned around already knowing whose voice it belonged too.
"Ma. Mamo-chan!" Usagi cried out while running to his arms.
"But I thought you couldn't come until tomorrow?"
"I wanted to surprise you. Besides I would never miss my love's graduation for anything in the world." Mamoru said while planting a kiss on her forehead.
Usagi didn't know what to say. Yesterday she was mad at him for telling her about him not coming, and then he suddenly shows up and says this entire sweet thing. She wanted to cry, but instead smiled lovingly at him.
"Well, let the party begin!!" Makoto said.
Hours later.
After the party ended everyone went home. The girls planned on meeting each other for a shopping the next day. Ryo followed Ami home, Yuuichirou with Rei and her grandpa' back to the temple, Minako got a lift with the outers home, while Shinozaki stayed back with akoto at her restaurant. As for Usagi and Mamoru, they went through their park before following Usagi home.
As soon as Usagi was home she changed to her pajamas and went to her nightstand and took out a brush. While brushing her long golden hair she thought back on her conversation with Mamoru earlier, when they walked through their park.
Flashbacks While walking through the park."So how long will you stay here, before you'll go back to the states finishing your studies?"
"Well, I'll be here for another week. But then I have to go to Europe for a conference. And I will be there till the end of summer before I go back."
"A week, huh? I'm happy for you for getting this successful with your studies. And I don't want to complain, but I feel like we don't spend much time together anymore."
"I know. I want to be with you all the time too, but I want to be a good husband for you, with having a great job so I can support you. There for I have to finish up my studies. I'm this close to achieve it."
"You're already doing a great job, Mamo-chan! I don't care if we live in a big house or a small house. I would still love you."
"Usako, please. We've discussed this already. Can we, just for once, put this conversation down?"
"You're right. I'm just being selfish. Let's just spend the little time we still have left."
End of flashbacks"If this continue, our love will soon die out. If it hasn't started to." Usagi thought.
Flashbacks
"Usako, please. We've discussed this already. Can we, just for once, put this conversation down?"
End of Flashbacks
"Maybe it has started? Mamo-chan. I wonder if you still love me? I wonder if I still love you?" Usagi said to herself unnoticed to the tears that fell down on her cheeks.
Without noticing the three shooting stars out in the night, Usagi closed her window and turned of the lights before going into slumber, dreaming beautiful dreams.
Out in the park.Three beautiful women in leather-clad suddenly changed into three handsome men in suits.
"Do you think they still remember us?" asked the short person.
"I don't know. It's been a long time. I wonder if they've changed? If so, how much?" said the tall one.
"Looks like the park has changed since we left." said the middle one.
"I don't care. Tomorrow we'll go and surprise the girls." the short one said.
"I wonder if miss Mizuno's still the same?"
"So that's why you didn't object when we asked Kakyuu-hime about going back here to earth." the middle one snickered, the person started to blush all different shades of red.
"And what about you? Came back for Minako?"
"What!?! No way, I didn't come all the way here just to get attack by that maniac!" shouted the short one.
"And you? Still have feelings for a certain odango-haired girl?"
"That's none of your business, if I came all the way back here just for her!" the middle one retorted back.
"Yeah, right! It became my business since we were the one who comforted you through all those nights while you were crying, thinking about her." the short one spat back.
"What ever shorty."
"Will you two stop your bickering? You bickered all the way here." the tall one interrupted, getting irritated.
While they were walking the middle one was deep into thoughts.
"I just hope that you haven't forgotten about me. Odango."
