The animal exhibit was something new and fun in the area, it had places you could actually touch and play with some of the animals; as well as more educational exhibits. They each headed to the pin where they could play with some of the baby animals.

"Now, just because they are babies doesn't mean they nibble like your kittens and puppies at home, so please be warned of this ahead of time." The attendent told them as they walked into the pin.

"Usagi look!" Minako said squeling as she pointed to a small koala, tilting it's head at the strangers around it. The girls moved closer to it, and watched it's eyes wander over each of them...then like it had done before- tilted it's head in curiosity.

"Would you all like a picture with Lulu?" another of the attendents in the pin asked coming up next to the small ball of fur.

"That would be so cool! Let's get one, oh can we please?" Minako asked giving her friends her famous big starry eyes. After they agreed the attendent asked one of the girls to pick Lulu up, whoever wanted to hold her in the shot. Everyone except Usagi tried but none were successful, everytime one of them tried Lulu backed up more, until it was almost inside it's cubbyhole.

"It's okay Lulu, we wont hurt you" Usagi said giving the baby a reassurring smile. She reached her arms out for the koala, and was able to pick her up with ease. Her friends just stared in amazement at how easy she had done it.

"Well Usagi is destined to be a great mother, it's only natural." Makoto said laughing. The other's joined in, all except Usagi- who stood silent as the picture was taken.

After the exhibit it had gotton dark considerably, as they all parted they agreed to meet at Rei's after school the next afternoon.

"Usagi, how was the exhibit?" Luna asked once she had returned. Luna was already curled up on her bed, her cresent moon glistened only by the light of the moon.

Turning on the lamp that rested on her dresser, she turned to Luna "It was fun, we got our picture taken with a baby koala, though Minako took it home to make us copies. Makoto packed a great lunch as always, so it was a great sunday" she said smiling half heartedly.

"Usagi...?" Luna said softly.

"Yes Luna?" Usagi said already getting dressed for bed.

"Nothing..." the cat said as she watched her princess seat herself at her desk, going over homework.

Usagi waited until Luna had fallen asleep before moving her schoolwork to the side and bringing her journal to the top.

"Sunday,

Today was like any other, I keep trying to hide the one thing that keeps me second guessing my future. I know if I were to tell any of them, they wouldn't accept it. Of course not, it involves them just as much as it involves me and the rest of the world. I can't help it...I love him..."

Usagi finished writing and sat back, looking at her hand...at the ring Mamoru had given her more than a year ago. A ghost of a smile lifted her lips before she turned out her lamp and plunged her room into darkness.
