#34 Ball of Yarn
Words: 576
Usagi was sitting on her bed and stared out of the window. "What's the matter Usagi-chan?" Luna asked and jumped onto the blanket. The blond girl snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her cat. "Oh it's nothing, really." "Please Usagi, you know you can tell me everything," the feline said with a serious expression in her eyes. "But you have to promise that you won't laugh about me." Luna nodded. "So what is it Usagi?" "I was just thinking about my life. Sometimes it seems to me like a ball of yarn. A ball of yarn consisting of all different types of threads which got hopelessly tangled up into each other." The girl sighed and looked at her cat who only nodded understandingly. "Everything is so complicated at the moment. Firstly there is my secret identity. It is not easy to hide from my family and friends that I'm Sailor Moon, especially since the Negaverese attacked more often in the past few weeks. Then there is our mission to find the princess and the Imperial Silver Crystal but we have no idea where to look. And on top of it all there is Tuxedo Kamen. I'm sure that he is no enemy but I don't know if he's on our side either. He always saves me and cares about me but when it comes to his own mission or his motives for helping us he can act so cold towards me." Usagi lowered her eyes.
"But that's not all you have on your mind, am I right?" Luna asked. "No, it's not," the blonde answered. "I'm confused about myself and my feelings. You know, I always thought that I'm in love with Tuxedo Kamen. He made my heart jump by simply talking to me. But then I met Mamoru baka and now I'M not so sure any more about the feelings I have for Tuxedo Kamen. Mamoru is such a jerk towards me but every time we meet and he looks at me my heart starts beating faster. And what if we become friends and he finds out about me being Sailor Moon?" She paused. "It's not easy growing up, isn't it?" "No, it's not Usagi-chan," the feline said with a quiet voice. "Will my life ever become easier?" the girl sighed, "or will it always be a afoul ball of yarn and no matter how hard I try there is no chance to untangle all those threads?" "Life is never easy, especially for a senshi like you," the cat answered seriously. "But don't forget that you are not alone. You have friends who understand how you feel because they feel the same. If you guys believe and trust in each other, you can achieve everything. And I promise you this. Once the princess and the Silver Crystal are found a lot of things will become easier for all of you. Until then I'll help you where ever I can." Usagi smiled at her guardian. "Thanks Luna." The cat smiled back at her and continued. "The only thing I can't help you with is your feelings. I can only give you this advice. Just listen to your heart and you'll make the right decision. And in the end you'll see that you can untangle this ball of yarn, also known as life, maybe not all the threads at once but at least a few of them at a time."
