Chibi-Usa skipped down the sidewalk happily. Her small book bag was bouncing against her back with each hop. A bright, shining smile was on her face.

A soft sudden sound stopped her in her tracks. Her eyes glanced around in hopes of finding the source of the noise. And there it was, hiding beside a large green bush with buds on it. "Hey there, kitty."

Chibi-Usa bent down, calling forth the kitten. It hesitantly stood and came to her. She picked it up and heard it purring when she began to pet its fur. "You're so cute!" She squealed in delight as it nuzzled against her hand.

She stayed with the kitten there for an hour, but the sun was beginning to set and she needed to get home. Mama would be worried. Reluctantly, she departed, with a promise to see it again tomorrow.

And tomorrow it was there as it had silently promised as well. And so this continued, day in and day out.

"Hi Ginger!" She had given it a name, and today had treats for her best friend again. "I brought you some leftover pudding from my lunch bag." They played together every afternoon, and Ginger was getting bigger each day until she had grown into a healthy adult cat.

Only one day, Ginger was not at the bush where Chibi-Usa always met her favorite friend. Tears instantly filled her eyes as she called and searched for the cat desperately.

She was nowhere to be found. The young, pink-headed girl went home in despair that night.

"Chibi?" Her mama called. Chibi-Usa ignored her mother and began glumly trudging up the stairs to her room. "Come look!"

The sound of paws on stairs was heard behind her. She turned around in surprise and Ginger was already at her leg nuzzling it affectionately. "Ginger! I was so worried! Mama, you found Ginger!"

"Oh, you've seen her before? She looked so sad sitting by the bush beside the schoolyard that I just had to bring her home. Make sure to take care of her." Usagi winked at her future daughter and returned to the kitchen.

Ginger had a home now. And Chibi-Usa had her best friend back.
