A week passed since she had received the kiss charms and the confidence and happiness she had felt then had yet to diminish. She was confident that her secret admirer truly loved her. The blue book was now a prized possession and held a place of honor by her nightstand, while the charm bracelet had yet to leave her slender wrist. Even Ms. Haruna had given a small smile when she had seen the newest charms that had been on Usagi's bracelet, seems even her teacher was well aware of what that particular combination was representative of.

Usagi was spending her afternoon at the Game Center Crown trying to beat the highest score on the Sailor V game. After her sixth death in a row she decided to make her way to the counter that Motoki was currently standing behind talking to the high school baka that was the bane of her existence. "Motoki-onii-chan." she called in a singsong voice. "Can I have a double chocolate shake?"

"Of course Usagi-chan." Motoki replied with a smile as he went to make her order. "Which reminds me Usagi-chan; somebody came in earlier and left a package for you."

"Already, it's only been a week." Usagi muttered underneath her breath.

"What was that Usagi-chan?" Motoki asked as he put her milkshake in front of her and then flourished from seemingly nowhere a small white box that Usagi was becoming increasingly familiar with.

"Nothing really, I thought he would have forgotten all about me but he hasn't."

"Odango Atama, do you have a secret admirer?" Mamoru asked.

"Zip it Chiba-san. I don't need you making fun of me."

"I wasn't, it was just a simple question. No need for you to get defensive, unless it's that little boy from your school that stares at you with puppy eyes?"

"No, it can't be Umino, he's dating Naru-chan, and he's lost what little interest he had in me." Usagi touched the crisp white box reverently, her chocolate milkshake forgotten.

"So who do you think it is?" Motoki asked as she opened the box timidly.

"I don't know but…" Usagi gasped as she picked up the dime-sized clear crystal disk.

"It's beautiful." Motoki said as he looked at the little red rosebud that was inside the crystal disk. "Look there's a letter."

"Here let me put it on your bracelet, so you can read your letter." Mamoru said softly as he held out his hand for the small charm.

She handed him the charm reluctantly, scared to break it or that he would make fun of her. She carefully unfolded the letter after he had clasped the disk onto her bracelet.

Beloved Usako,

This charm reminded me of you and when I saw it, I knew that I must bestow it upon you. The rosebud represents purity and loveliness, both aspects that you represent a million times over for it was those exact qualities that I fell in love with. You have a purity of heart that most girls your age have already lost of which I am most proud of you. As for your loveliness, I speak of the loveliness that you carry inside of you as well as your outward beauty. Darling, though I confess I am scared of your rejection, I cannot stop hoping that one day your blue eyes will shine with a love that is only for me. I will continue to write you these letters until the day that I garner the strength to tell you face to face how much I love you.

My heart is eternally Yours,

Your Secret Admirer

"That must have been some letter to make you blush that way." Mamoru remarked as he accepted the refill that Motoki handed him.

"Don't make fun of him." Usagi said defensively.

"I'm not making fun of him Odango Atama. I think a Secret admirer is a very romantic notion."

"He's right, you know, Secret Admirers are every girl's dream. I know Unazuki said that she wished she had one that was half as romantic as yours has been." Motoki held out a hand and asked, "Can I read the letter if you don't mind?"

Mamoru fingered the bracelet on Usagi's wrist. "If you don't mind Usagi, can you explain what the charms mean?"

"He said the rosebud is a symbol of purity and loveliness, the acorn, and thimble represent the kisses originally exchanged by Peter and Wendy in Peter Pan. The dragonfly symbolizes maturity, self-confidence, power, agility, and victory."

"So then his gifts have something to do with reminding him of you." Motoki said as he handed her back the letter.

"I remember the acorn and thimble from when I read Peter Pan. It's quite a heavy symbolism; I would assume it means he desires to kiss you and to be kissed by you."

Usagi blushed and gathering her school bag and tucking the jewelry box and the letter and tucking it into her bag declared, "I've got to go you guys. See you tomorrow afternoon."

Mamoru and Motoki watched as she disappeared as though the hounds of hell were chasing her. Motoki looked slyly at Mamoru and smirked, "If I didn't know any better Mamoru-kun, I would say that you were her secret admirer."

"Motoki, be serious. As if I could ever be Odango Atama's secret admirer?"

"I am older than you Mamoru and I know how a secret admirer works."

"You're only a couple of years older than me."

"I'm also one of your few friends."

"Motoki…" Mamoru warned as he looked up at the older male.

"Don't Motoki me, Mamoru-kun, I'm well aware of how much you actually love that girl."

Mamoru shook his head as he continued to drink his soda, "I can't decide if you insane or if you've become senile."
