This drabble was inspired by the wonderful New Found Glory, whom I miss dearly. They need to come back to Florida, to their roots yo. The song is "I Don't Wanna Know" from their "Catalyst" album.

Daily Planner, 500 words
Your eyes were covered in sunglasses when they first met mine…
I don't think it would be weird if I checked myself into a mental institution. Especially after all that's happened to me in the past year, I'm surprised I haven't staged a coup d'état in the looney bin myself. You see, exactly one year ago, my life turned upside down…er rather, decided to split ways. By daylight, I am known as Tsukino Usagi: Cry-baby, Captain Klutz, and Bottomless Pit extraordinaire. By moonlight, I transform into the ultra-cool, youma ass-kicking Sailor Moon, along with my fellow four senshi, my best friends.
But the biggest, world axis-flipping, monumental event that happened in Usagi's and Sailor Moon's life?
We fell in love.
Which, inadvertently, led to bigger world axis-flipping events, and had the potential to blossom into something as monumental and unexpected as this past year: the future. Not just any future, but a brilliant future with enough possibilities that horizon over an unexplored, shining world.
One year ago, I failed a quiz and in retaliation -as if it was the quiz's fault anyway- I crumpled it up and unknowingly pelted this guy in the head with it. A quick argument ensued, with many to follow in the passing months, and Chiba Mamoru found himself at the top of my shit list. The man was arrogant, devilishly evil, and never held back with the verbal assaults that usually resulted in me crying. However, Mamoru had the most captivating midnight blue eyes, which he often hid behind dark sunglasses, such as they were the day we met. We argued when we literally ran into each other, as if one could plan such fateful collisions, but I learned that Mamoru had a way of shielding himself from the world, as if trying to avoid who he really was inside. There were no sunglasses for the soul, but I had to admit; the man impressed and surprised me every one of those crashes.
The biggest surprise? Oh, that Mamoru-baka also happened to be the object of Sailor Moon's desire, the mysterious savior Tuxedo Kamen. It's a long story, and it turned out our history together was even longer! The funny thing was that I kind of already knew I was in love with him, even before we discovered we fell in love as the Moon Princess and the Prince of Earth a millennium ago. Suddenly, I had much more to fight for as Sailor Moon; Tsukino Usagi needed to continue living and love that Mamoru-baka. Now, with him by my side, I know I can take on whatever tomorrow throws at me, even without these powers.
I was clearing away my old things when I stumbled across last year's planner. It remained ignorant of all of the memories I just recalled, but where the days remained blank was where these important events occurred. I was just too busy living my extraordinary life to fill them in.
…What will happen next, I don't want to know.
