Hey guys, so it's 12:17 AM and I am exhausted. But, I had to leave a new chapter for you guys because I really don't want to let some readers down. I probably have a lot of mistakes in here, because it was written in an hour.

I might fix it in the future, but it seems highly unlikely.


Usagi gloomy walked inside her classroom. She hated school. What was the point of it and going there?

Ever since she have broken her mirror, she haven't seen a reason for her to perk up, and the worst part was that she was perfectly content in just being negative and pessimistic. She enjoyed it as it washed over her. She didn't know why.

"Hey Usagi!" Ami greeted her with a smile, that smile quickly fading as she only received a faint "hi" and a hand waved at her direction. Ami, feeling as though missing something important, pushed the chair outwards and walked towards Usagi, crouching down next to her desk to talk to her.

"Hey Usagi-chan, What's wrong?" Ami was careful to use a neutral voice, because she knew that Usagi hated being pitied.

Usagi slowly turned her head around to the left to face Ami and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and a small tremor ran throughout her body. She opened her eyes and spoke so quietly that Ami had to lean her ear toward Usagi's mouth to hear what she was saying.

"I...I was chasing my bunny Maron...and I didn't know Ami. I didn't know. I jumped towards her to catch her, and I crashed into a mirror. I broke it...I broke it!" In here, Usagi raised her voice as angry tears streamed down her face continuously. "I didn't see it! I just leaped! I just HAD to be the IDIO-I mean, STUPID me and crash into it! Now I have seven years of bad luck!" She ended up covering her face again and sobbing her heart out onto her desk.

Ami stayed crouched there and soaked in the information. She tried her best attempt on comforting her, "You know, Usagi-chan. That isn't true. That only happens to people from somewhere outside this planet Earth."

Usagi snorted and showed her face again, sitting straight up, "We aren't normal people Ami." Ami gasped and looked around. Luckily, no one was here because they were both ridiculously early. "We aren't normal people." Usagi repeated. "We were once from the outer universe. Curses were fallen upon our kingdoms because we did the wrong things. We are protectors of the universe. Curses can be fallen upon us."

Ami paused. She DID make a great point there.

"Okay. Say that you ARE curse. What's the worst thing that can happen?"

"Anything Ami. Anything."


Usagi walked inside the arcade and let out a sigh of relief as she caught a whiff of chocolate milkshake. She subconsciously licked her lips and took a seat near the counter. Oblivious to the person sitting at the left side of her. She was too caught up in her wonderful imagination to even think about the whole curse thing and to notice someone's stare. When she did open her eyes, she turned to the left and screamed; startled.

"What are YOU doing here Chiba Mamoru?' Usagi tried to sound like she was discriminating him but it sounded false to her ears.

"It is a free country Odango. I can be here when I want to." Marmoru shot back at her with more coolness than she had.

Usagi's face reddened and she turned away, facing the counter. "I know that. It's just i got startled with your presence here..."

She didn't catch the flash of hurt across Mamoru's expression.

"Oh..." Mamoru drawled out. Thinking.

An awkward silence hung around until Motoki came in. "Hey guys, Why are you here all silent? I thought you'd be bickering by now!" He ginned but his grin vanished when he received none in return except for the two blank stares of the two very different people.

"O..kay...Cut it out you guys. You're freaking me out. What's the deal?" Motor pestered on, desperate for an answer.

Usagi sighed and said, "Nothing Motoki. We're fine. We're just really, really pooped. Aren't we Mamoru?" She stomped on his foot, forcing him to smile to indicate that he was indeed fine, when it was just the exact opposite mood he was in.

"Yeah, we're totally fine.. Like what Usagi said, we're just really pooped out. Can we have a milkshake?" Mamoru asked, wishing that Motoki would give him a moment with Usagi to figure things out.

"Yeah sure. You guys better be normal by the time I come back. Ten minutes." Motoki walked inside the kitchen (A.N I have no idea where you go to make milkshakes so...excuse me. :) )

Usagi and Mamoru both released a sigh of relief simultaneously, but cut it out when they saw the other do the same. They stared down at each other, not backing out because they wouldn't hear the end of it. Not now, not ever.

Two minutes passed and Usagi reluctantly looked away. She didn't want to stare at him while pretending that she wasn't attracted to him. She didn't want him to have a bad impression of herself.

For some unknown reason, Usagi found herself crying. She wondered if it was because of the seven years of bad luck deal, and found that that it was because of it. She was scared for her future and the people that surrounded her. She didn't want them to be affected, too. She would never forgive herself. If it affected Ami...her dreams of becoming a doctor will vaporize into thin air. Her hot tempered friend Rei...she could lose her temple. And that was something that she would be devastated over with. Lita...sweet Lita. Her dreams of becoming a cook and a botanist..She didn't want to risk that. Minako...her inseparable twin. Her dream is to become famous..a model. If something happened to that dream too, she would never forgive herself. Never. And...she hated to admit it, but there was also Mamoru. He was an important part of her life that she couldn't describe. She didn't know what the feeling was, but she was attracted to him. Without him, there would probably be no her. She would just be an empty shell.

And in that moment, was when she realized that she was in love with Mamoru.

She loved the way his eyes twinkled. She loved the way his hair was and everything on his face. She wanted him.

And only him.

When she came back to reality, she realized that she have been enveloped into someones' warm arms. Her face was on Mamoru's chest and she closed her eyes, listening to the steady beat of his heart, and the rise and fall of it. Blessing him with every single one of her fiber that she had someone that cared for her. Not as a friend, but as someone more than that.

Someone that loved her for her.


Eventually, her sobs quieted down into snuffles and she sighed. She came out of his embrace just to see Motoki come in with the milkshakes. Her eyes lit up with her usual sparkles and she ran toward her seat (she had stood up to leave without her knowing, but Mamoru had stopped her with a hug) she grabbed her glass and a spoon and devoured it. Not caring if there was chocolate smudged all over her face. She was ecstatic and wanted to feel like that when she got home. Happy, because of a certain somebody.

She heard a snort, and turned around. Mamoru was laughing at her.

Her cheeks reddened at the thought of her appearance at this time, but she didn't turn back. Mamoru had walked up to her with a napkin for her to wipe her chocolate away. How considerate!

She took it eagerly and wiped her face, covering it with the napkin to avoid his gaze. When she still felt something on her cheek however, she blushed and nervously asked Mamoru if she could have one more. He did and she gratefully took it, wiping all of the excess chocolate off her facial features.

She failed to see Mamoru staring at her.
