My training was canceled today... When I went to meet Mamoru, he was dressed in some heavier sort of armor and he acted much more serious. He told me that we'd have to cancel it today because he recieved some orders from the principal government. Being a student, I know I'm not supposed to know about things like that, but I'm hoping he'll tell me about it later anyway.
I was too nervous to go train by myself for some reason, so I went back to my dorm room and studied. I know being a hunter calls for me to know more physical combat, but Momma's magic books are so interesting! I can do all of the spells she gave me on my birthday now, but I know I'll never be as amazing as she is at them.
I got to talk to Mom on the communicator the other day. I asked her more about everyone's past. I learned of a messy love triangle between her, Mamoru, Daddy, and the lady named Presea...wouldn't that be a love square? It seems that when they were all young and in training, Dad had taken a heavy crush over Presea and Mom was in love with Mamoru. She doesn't know if their trainer's feelings were mutual or not, but she did tell me that Mamoru and Presea were very much in love! That sounded to me like it would be a very painful thing to accept. She said, "well honey, it was...until I met your father." One day Mamoru and Presea were called on assignment and had to leave for a few days, leaving them with nothing to do. One really late night, neither could sleep and they bumped into each other in the student dormitory lobby by chance.
"Tobius looked so sad and longing...I guess I was too. He lacked all sorts of confidence because of his thing for Presea. He was so intelligent and handsome though, I wondered if I could ever make him see it."
She said they talked for hours and hours, until the sun come up! Eventually in the early hours, Dad got up enough courage to ask her out on a Date. Way to go! I'll bet I sound silly cheering on the past...I can't help it, if I don't, I wouldn't be here!
I still don't know much about Presea though. Mom said she would show me a picture the next time I visit. I don't know why she just doesn't send it through digital wave to me. "Hush...you know me and those technical things don't get along" she says.
Their story put me in such a nostalgic mood for some reason. I thought I would wander the dorms and try to find the spot where they met. Unfortunately, she never told me where that was, and this plays is huge! I did meet Chibiusa wandering around though. She looked like she had been doing some fighting of her own. Maybe that's why she was up so late. We went over to one of the observation windows to look out over Ragol. We talked for a long time... about the school, the training, and about the government.
There have been rumors circulating recently about an uprising against the government. I've even heard things while in school about people joining some kind of faction to stir trouble. I know that some people don't trust the government, sometimes I don't myself, but have enough people gathered to try and make a difference like that? I'm not sure where I stand on the whole thing, but I know that I feel safe if Mamoru is on the job.
Thinking about the possibility of a war made me a little nervous, and I thought that I should be training more. It was late, and I needed enough rest in case Mamoru would be able to take me to the Caves tomorrow. Sorry for cutting things short Chibiusa!
I've gotta get stronger!
Until then,
Shinobu
