13. Always More – Barbie as the Island Princess
If we make room for someone new, doesn't mean that there's less for you
Only means that our circle has grown
Love knows, love grows, bigger than before
In your heart, there's always more
It's magic, the more you give it away
The more love, comes back to you, everyday
"She's here, isn't she? ChibiUsa?" Usagi tried to stop the water pooling in her eyes, but it was futile. She heard Mamoru growl quietly, and she knew he was probably thinking about how jealous she was.
"What do you want?" he said harshly. It took all of Usagi's strength to meet his eyes.
"She's replaced me, hasn't she? You don't love me anymore, and she's here to replace me."
"You're not serious," he stated, appalled. The look on his face made her want to run from the apartment. "You're really jealous of a six year old? Come on, Usak-Usagi. Really?"
Usagi bowed her head as the tears began to flow. One plopped on the floor. And another. And another.
"I'll just go now," she murmured to the carpet. As she quickly let herself out and ran down the first flight of stairs to the floor below. There she sank to the ground and let her emotions take control. Sobbing, she huddled into the corner of a wall and the stairs, and cried for all that she'd lost.
She'd always been a firm believer that love could not go up and down, only out, ever expanding, ever increasing, gathering more and more people to care for.
But she could see now that she'd been wrong. Mamoru's love did not expand; only exchange.
This is probably one of my favourite drabbles for this challenge so far. It was very sad, listening to such a happy song and writing what I did. But it worked, so I don't regret changing the tone of the music. By the way, see what I meant about my ipod revealing a lot about my personality? Yeah. Barbie is on my ipod. What of it?
PS - on a crazy-fun side note, this song features Susan Roman , who is one of my favourite voice actresses ever. And yes, for some of those who recognised the name (or the voice in the movie, as I did), Susan was indeed the voice actress for Lita/Sailor Jupiter in the English dub of Sailor Moon. Yay for Susan Roman!
