Two weeks had passed since the letter and gift from her secret admirer and Usagi was sure that he had forgotten all about her and the love he professed for her. She watched her charm bracelet twinkle brightly in the sunlight that shone through the classroom windows and sighed in frustration as she wondered once more whom her secret admirer could be.

The knock at the classroom door did not even catch her attention nor did the movement of Haruna-sensei to answer said door. What did catch her attention was the small package that Haruna-sensei put in front of her. "Maybe this will brighten your mood a bit." The red-haired teacher said as headed back towards the front of the class to remind the class of their take-home assignments before they headed out of class for the day.

Usagi stared at the gift on her desk and wondered if it was from him. Could it be that he had not forgotten her yet? Could he love her still?

She opened the lid of the brightly colored box to find another small white jewelry box and a book. She opened the jewelry box even as the dismissal bell rang and in it were two small charms, a silver thimble with a red crystal heart and a silver acorn.

"They are beautiful but what do they mean?" Makoto asked as she stood beside Usagi's desk.

Ami's bright blue eyes looked at the smile that graced the face of their companion and was happy that the light in her friend's eyes was back. "Try looking in the box, Usagi-chan, maybe there is a clue as to what it could mean."

Usagi picked up the small sky blue leather bound book and in gold letter read the title, Peter Pan. "Why would he give me a book?" Usagi questioned as she looked at the girls.

Makoto merely smiled as she took the charms from the box and added them to Usagi's bracelet.

The added weight was slight as Usagi opened the book to find a letter tucked inside.

Beloved,

You may wonder why I have decided to gift you with an acorn and a thimble charm. They do have a secret meaning of which you will discover if you read the book. I hope you do enjoy the story and are happy when you discover the meaning of these two particular charms. Usako, I love you much more than you realize and do hope that in time I can replace these two charms with the actual items they represent. Until the next letter, my love.

Forever Yours,

The man in love with you

"He wants me to read the story." Usagi said as she looked at the girls.

"Are you going to?" Ami asked quietly as she saw her friend put her stuff away and stood up to go the small book in her hands.

"Yes, I think I'll start right now as we head towards Rei's." Usagi said as she opened the small book outside the classroom and the girls flanked her.

Usagi had to admit that she was surprised to find herself immersed in the world of Peter Pan and did not realize how much time had passed until the tears in her eyes began to flow and the girls surrounded her in a group hug.

"What's wrong Usagi-chan?" Minako asked as the tears began to ebb.

"I know what the charms mean now."

"What do they mean?"

"They are kisses. Wendy wanted to give Peter a kiss but he did not know what that was and so she gave him her thimble and he gave her an acorn. His letter said that he wants to replace these charms with the things they represent."

"So he wants you to give him a kiss and he'll give you a kiss in return." Rei asked as her hand rubbed circles on Usagi's back.

"That's so sweet." Minako cooed as she flopped back onto Rei's bed.

Makoto looked at Ami and mouthed, "You knew, didn't you?" Ami's little nod was enough to satisfy the tall brunette. She smiled because their little blue-haired friend could have just as easily told her what the charms meant but had decided to allow her friend to find out for herself.

Usagi's mind wandered and began to think of the potential suspects that could be her secret admirer.
