Chapter 3: Letting Go

I'm afraid...but it's going to be worth it.

Usagi persuaded herself that it would all work out right in the end even thought she had no clue as to how her future will turn out to be. She stared a little more at herself and decided to finally 'pull the trigger'. She made sure all her hair was between the blades and slowly, carefully, trimmed her hair to waist length. Nearly 14 inches of hair fell on her newly washed carpet. Usagi closed her eyes and placed her scissors on her desk. She wanted to see herself, but at the same time, she felt scared. Uneasily, she walked to the mirror and opened her eyes. Upon looking at herself she almost screamed, but she could resist.

I don't look that different do I? Now for that hair salon...I think I could use a little help with a new style...

Usagi walked down the stairs and avoided all of her family. She avoided anyone she knew down the streets. At last she reached her destination and walked in to be greeted by a kind lady.

"Good afternoon miss. Now how may we help you?" the lady asked.

"Um, is it possible that you can give me a whole new look?" Usagi asked in reply.

"Sure thing, now just follow me."

Usagi sat down in the chair not knowing what might happen.

"Now, how do you feel about a layered look?"

"That'd be great..."

"Would you like a new color?"

Usagi considered this. Did she really want a new hair color? She decided that it wouldn't last forever... perhaps a year or so. So, the answer was yes."

"Um, yes please. Could you make it black with brown highlights?" Usagi asked thinking that those colors might make her look completely different.

A few hours passed by and Usagi finally takes a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She had black hair with brown highlights like she asked. Her hair was now layered at about a little passed shoulder length and silky smooth as well as very straight.

"Thank you so much!" Usagi said to the lady as she paid.

"No problem."

Usagi walked home and almost ran through the door. She planned it all out that her family would find out first about her. She was greeted by her mother.

"May I help you miss?"

"Mom! It's me! Usagi!"

"Usagi? What... what happened to you?" her mom asked, a bit scared.

"Mom, please don't be mad about this..."

"Oh, Usagi, as long as you like it, I could never be angry," her mom said thinking silently that this might be for the best since her daughter had been so depressed these days. In her voice was actually something gentle that would've been different if Usagi had done this before she was depressed.

"Thank you, mother."

Of course later the rest of her family found out. Her dad was just as surprised as her mother, but his reactions were exactly the same. Her brother just burst out laughing, not really sure why his sister had done this.

Usagi went up to her room afterwards and picked out an outfit.

Something different... let's make a new me. Let me lead a new life.

Usagi took out a white tube top with no straps that will cover only her chest. Along with that, she picked out an indigo mini skirt. She put both on and decided to take a walk outside, on her own. She needed to get away from Luna before the cat came back. She took out a purse put her cell phone and some money in it. On her bed was her transformation brooch that she took everywhere with her.

Should I really...take it? Should I accept the fact that the person that someone can be with that brooch is me? No. I can't just...feel easy with that after all that I've done to make myself different.

But she took it with her anyway considering the fact that it practically holds her life. She stepped outside and felt the breeze brush lightly against her. She saw Luna coming and decided to hide until Luna walked past her, looking as if she recognized the girl, but couldn't tell you who she was. Usagi felt a bit relieved knowing that Luna would surely be angry with her. And although Usagi knew she would have to face Luna eventually, she understood that she couldn't face her right now.

"Have you guys heard from Usagi yet?" Rei asked with concern.

The group of 8 girls and Mamoru was at the park discussing the problem with Usagi.

"No...It feels like she's avoiding all of us for some reason. Usagi has almost become a different person totally," Ami said.

"But there's gotta be a way to at least talk with her. We can't just leave her like this," Minako told everyone else.

There was more talking, but Usagi chose not to listen to anymore. She had thought that going to the park would give her silence and some alone time. She had no idea that all of them would be there as well. Usagi decided that she has to approach somehow, maybe not as herself, but she had to approach them. Perhaps they wouldn't recognize her, and she could spend her time at a hotel or something. But did she want them to find out about her? Usagi knew she had to go home tonight, Luna would be there, and they would find out about her.

It's better that I tell them than Luna.
