The Plan

By: Wino Forever

Part: 1

Well, it's been a long while since I've looked at this story, but I've decided to return to it and revise the whole thing.

For those who have read and remembered the last version of "the plan", please scratch that and forget about it completely because this version has different plot twists and an altered story line.

This is my more "mature" version of "The Plan"! (If I can pull it off lol)

Ps - thanks Jasmine for still being the annoying rat on my back ever since you read this story

They say that a sunny day can cheer anyone up if they're feeling down.

Whoever made that up was an idiot.

Usagi walked slowly down the sidewalk. You could have waved your hand in front of her face and she still wouldn't have taken notice. Her mind was preoccupied with the events that had shortly taken place earlier that day.

She felt as if the world was caving in and all she could do was feel the pain. Her head was pounding, eyes were red and puffy, and she could still feel the lump in her throat. Usagi never believed that such pain would inflict upon her, now she realized how harsh reality could be. Maybe, all this time she had denied it all because she had always thought of her life as simple and happy. But right now she had no one she could comfort to.

Usagi finally looked up at the sky, tired of crying she decided maybe she should see if anyone was at the Crown Café. If she knew anything, it was that there were only two things in the world that could cheer her up after times like these; her friends and food. Right now she just didn't want to recall what had happened earlier or else she'd start crying all over again.

She walked up the steps to the entrance. When she entered she saw Motoki cleaning up the counters and not really paying attention to anything else. She sat herself down on one of the booths waiting for one of the waiters to come.

"Hey Usagi! What would you like to order today?" A familiar orange haired girl asked.

'Hello Unazuki... I'd like a piece of apple pie, hot fudge sundae, banana split, cheese cake, strawberry shortcake, chocolate parfait, Black forest cake, Fruit cake, hot chocolate... and let's see what else…' Usagi said from the top of her head.

Unazuki blinked twice, "Umm, Usagi, are you sure you want all of that?"

Usagi looked up at her, "You're right, I should really be cutting down on the sweets. In that case I just want water."

He always told me to stay fit and take care of myself

"You sure?'

'Yes…'

Unazuki could feel the atmosphere around Usagi, it was so sad and depressing, but she decided that she should leave her alone right now. With that thought in mind she left the blonde and went to go get her simple order.

Why does this have to happen to me? Usagi's thoughts plagued her heart and soul, she just wanted to break down and cry while watching sad movies with a bucket of ice cream…guess she would do that once she got home.

Unazuki returned with a glass of water and a piece of apple pie with a side of ice cream. 'Here ya go Usagi-chan', the orange haired girl smiled happily. Usagi looked at the food surprised." I didn't order apple pie..."

"Don't worry, it's on the house," she said with a wink

"Arigatou…" Usagi said looking down.

"No problem' she said with a wink and padded Usagi on the shoulder playfully. "Hey I got to get back to work but you just stay here and enjoy your food alright?'

"Alright..."

"Good. Ja na Usagi-chan' she said then turned her back to the blonde and proceeded to serve other waiting customers

In that instant Usagi noticed a young couple walking together hand in hand through the window. They couldn't have been any older than Usagi was when she fell for him.

Fell for him so long ago…

She first met him when she was 14. He was almost finishing high school at the time, 17 years old to be precise. She remembered he visited her family because he had gotten a part time job from her dad as a photographer.

It wasn't necessarily love at first site, but it certainly was crush at first site. She knew he wouldn't want to be interested in someone as immature as her. Besides, he even had a girlfriend at the time.

But for two years he would always occupy her mind. It wasn't until her 16th birthday did he take some notice. Her father had invited him over that day since it was a family and friends celebration. Well it was her sweet 16th anyways.

"Are you really just 16?" Mamoru asked surprised.

Usagi giggled and blushed for the fact that he was talking to her, "Yeah, I really am. Why?"

"Well I thought you were no younger than 17, well, 18 really." He said bashfully.

"Really?" She exclaimed.

Yes! He thinks I'm older! Maybe now he can finally ask me…

Her father calling for Mamoru interrupted her thoughts. He quickly left after him to take a picture of the cake. She was now stuck by herself until her friends came to her to ask her what he had been talking to her about. Of course they knew about her little love interest.

This is all she remembered, even though it was just over a year ago.

Usagi laid in her bed, covered in her bunny and moon sheets thinking about yesterday. She hadn't seen anyone since it all happened. Fortunately she had been able to dodge site from her family when she got home.

For a year, for just one year, she had been as happy as she could have been.

But now all of that was over for a reason she still couldn't figure out. Had he really stopped loving her? She had always imagined that she had found the one guy who could complete her in this world.

And now he was gone…

She had arrived at his apartment for a day together. Of course she arrived late but he always forgave her for that. He sat her down and looked so serious ever since she came. Supposedly he had doubts about the relationship and thought they should take a break from each other. Upon hearing that Usagi ran out crying. She hadn't seen him or her friends since then so there was no one to help her feel better.

She rolled on her bed and sighed to herself. She shouldn't stay at home all day on a Sunday - she had never done that. Right now though, Usagi's will to leave the bed was gone. Then she heard her stomach growl. Forcing herself she got off of bed to look in the mirror

Boy, if I'm going to go out, I should really fix myself up, I look terrible!

Usagi sat down in front of her mirror combing her hair thoroughly with her pink bunny brush.

Flashback

She couldn't understand why. She didn't even see it all coming.

Mamoru looked at her with sincere eyes, as if he were guilty for what he was about to say.

He didn't even understand what he was putting her through, did he?

Mamoru leaned closer to her but she pulled away still taking in everything that he had just said.

"Usako, I can't say that I love you. This is why I don't believe it would be for the best if we were together right now. I just need time to myself right now to think everything over. I'm in a time in my life where I really got to think about my future and my outlook on everything is confusing to me right now. Usako I just think that if we were to be together for any longer, it would just cause more pain for the both of us. I care for you deeply but..."

"But why? Mamoru, I love you." Usagi said quivering.

"I wish I could say the same thing to you." He said taking Usagi's hands. "But I just need a break from us, just to really focus on my life and everything that's happening. Our relationship at this moment just isn't working for me."

"I just…I just…" With that Usagi loosened from his grip and ran out the door crying, slamming it shut on her way out.

"Usako…I'm just confused." He whispered to himself.

End Flashback

Usagi finished getting ready. She decided to wear a long sleeved yellow shirt with short orange overalls on top. Maybe it was time to discuss with her friends that Mamoru had broken up with her, claiming that he needed a break.

But, maybe if Seiya were here, things would be better…

Usagi instantly stopped in her tracks. Her best friend wasn't even here to cheer her up the way he always did. His smug smile, deep indigo eyes that would never cease to sparkle at her and that jet-black hair. She sat back down on her bed and slouched deeply in thought.

Seven months. They hadn't spoken in seven months.

Usagi had always been busy with her social, school and love life that she had forgotten almost completely about her childhood best friend. She loved Rei, Minako, Makoto and Ami as much as she loved Seiya, but he always had the special close bond with her. He had always been able to read her more accurately than anyone.

This wasn't the first time that she would suddenly remember her old friend. This wasn't the first time that she would sit and think about him too.

When Seiya first left for Sapporo to attend the prestigious college there, Usagi would lie in her bed wondering how he had been and how the new location was.

Also, like many times before, she'd find herself becoming slightly angry that Seiya would be so selfish to choose a location so far away...then she'd realize that she was being the selfish one.

At first she didn't understand why he would want to be away from his friends. Seiya didn't really have family since he had no siblings and his mother was always away on business. Not that it really mattered anyway because her mother had treated him like a son ever since his father died.

Seiya's father used to be Usagi's father's boss and they were also friends. She still remembered when he invited the Tsukino family over for dinner. That was when she first met Seiya. The cute, scruffy haired, angry looking Seiya who wore a dark blue suit and a flashy red bow tie; which explains the reason for his irritation. Their father's were just friendly co-workers but the mothers really did hit it off and would soon become good friends. As for the then eight-year-old Seiya and seven-year-old Usagi, he just ignored her for the whole day.

Afterwards, their mothers would frequently visit each other and go out together... whenever Seiya's mother was in town of course. Like always, the kids would be brought along and since Shingo was just a baby, Seiya and Usagi would be left dragging along and bored together.

Which is exactly what brought them together.

Seiya and Usagi eventually started to enjoy each other's company and play with each other whenever their mothers visited. Soon enough when they grew older, they wouldn't need their mothers to be around for them to hang out.

Seiya's father died in a car accident when he was only nine years old.

His mother took a year off work after that to devote her time to Seiya. Luckily, they had more than enough money to support themselves without income for the time being and the money from his fathers' will gave them enough money to live without work for more than a decade. Although, Seiya couldn't access 1/4 of his fortunes until he was 18 and the rest until he was 26: when he finished his schooling and hopefully a career established.

But Seiya was very, very privileged compared to most. They still kept the housekeepers, while giving the nannies a break until the mother returned to work. Again, they were very privileged.

Although the news of his father's death didn't affect anyone more than it did Seiya. During that one year Usagi rarely saw him until his mother returned to work full force since she was now providing for herself and son. Which lead to more trips away from home, and Usagi's mother would take Seiya in so he could be more in a "family" environment. He would usually have sleepovers that lasted for the whole weekend. Her parents saw him as a second son but Usagi just saw him as good old Seiya.

He was, after all, the only guy that Usagi's father didn't mind being within 5 inches from her…him and the encouraged-but-never-going-to-happen Umino.

But now he was in Sapporo and spending the most time away from her ever!

Usagi snapped out of it. She found herself thinking about Seiya again. This usually happened to her when she was about to go to sleep and she would look at the clock and be surprised by how much time had gone by. She'd probably think about him for hours before she'd fall asleep and dream about Mamoru.

Right then a deeper ache in her heart grew from the thought of her Mamo-chan.

She quickly stopped trying to think of him but instead tried to remember what she was planning to do in the first place. Glancing at her clock she realized that a study session was about to start in fifteen minutes.

Running down the stairs, Usagi quickly told her mom where she was headed and left the house. Maybe talking with her friends would clear her mind and make her feel better and stronger.

Aside from an old friend, this is what she needed the most right now.

Author's note: okay, just to let you all know, Luna and Artemis Won't be featured in my story ;;

So, don't flame me! Well…maybe you could flame me if you gave me a way to fit two talking cats into a world where that doesn't exist, anyways thanks for reading.

And I wanted to say a BIG HI! to anyone reading this from If you don't know who this is, it's Karla! Or better yet Lilfighta1
