Usagi sat at her favorite booth with her friends at the Fruits Parlor Crown when Unazuki came towards them a small parcel in her hands. Unazuki gave a little smile as she stopped in front of the girls, "Is that from your secret admirer?" Usagi asked slyly as she looked at the older girl, her eyes filled with curiosity and wondering if Motoki would allow his younger sister to date.
"I wish Usagi-chan, but this is for you."
"What do you mean for me? Today is nothing special."
The red head handed over the parcel as she took in Usagi's flushed face. "It's not from me Usagi-chan; someone came in earlier and asked that I deliver this to you. Looks like you have a secret admirer."
"Who was it?"
"He begged me not to say and I promised."
"Open it Usagi-chan." The girls cajoled as they watched their friend blush and stammer over the idea of having a secret admirer.
Her hands trembled as she slowly pulled at the glittery bright pink ribbon that tied around the small crisp white jewelry box. It is too big to be a ring. She thought numbly as she opened the box and was stunned to see a beautiful silver charm bracelet with a charm already attached. She heard her friends' gasp to see the beautiful pink crystal dragonfly charm that hung shining from bracelet. She lifted it reverently as she looked up at Unazuki, the question of whom her secret admirer could be seen shining in her eyes. Unazuki merely shrugged her shoulders at the younger girl.
"Here let me put this on your wrist." Rei said as she grabbed the bracelet in one hand and Usagi's wrist in the other.
Usagi could feel the weight on her wrist and smiled gratefully at Rei for her help.
Ami whom was sitting on her other side pointed to the box and said, "Usagi-chan, there's a note inside the box.
"Oohh... A love letter." Minako and Makoto said together as the sparkles in their eyes grew brighter.
Usagi unfolded the letter gently, wondering what her secret admirer could have to say to her.
Dearest Usako,
I saw this charm and immediately thought of you. Do you know what the dragonfly represents? The dragonfly is a symbol of power, agility, and victory. This is everything that I wish for you. The dragonfly also represents maturity, which I see you gaining each day. It also represents self-confidence, which you radiate. I hope you can see what I mean my Usako; you are very much like a dragonfly. You are beautiful and though you appear fragile, you are anything but. You are stronger than you seem and I would give anything to be as strong as you, and to tell you how much I love you in person. I promise you will hear from me again, until next time, I love you Usako.
Faithfully Yours,
A Secret Admirer
Usagi's entire face was red by the time she was finished reading the letter aloud and was amazed there was someone out there whom could love her the way this man did.
"It sounds like someone has it bad." Unazuki smiled as the girls agreed with her. "I'll leave you girls alone now. I have to get back to work." She waved goodbye as she made her way through the tables to continue serving the other customers.
"Oh, Usagi-chan, you've gone and made someone fall in love with you. I wonder who it is." Minako questioned aloud.
Usagi fingered the small charm and was filled with warmth, she could not wait until she heard from her secret admirer again and it was not for the gifts. The idea of another letter that professed his love for her excited her.
