The boxes were piled high, filled with everything and anything the house once held. She dusted off her jeans and pushed a piece of hair from her face as she entered the now empty living room "The kitchen is finished" she announced walking over to her father.
Kenji stared at his only daughter, a sad smile coming to his face. True that when he had told her about his orders he believed she would screamed at him, stomping her feet like she did when she was a child…begging and pleading him to wait, wait till graduation, yelling and declaring that she wasn't leaving,
In anticipation of this outburst he visited Millie, Usagi's aunt in hope that she would house his daughter till the end of the school year…
"You want Usa-chan to stay here?" the look of concern wouldn't leave her face
Kenji rubbed the back of his neck "She's been through a lot these past couple of years. I just feel that this, well this will just set her off…" he took a breath "I wouldn't ask if I wasn't desperate Mil's…I just don't want her to hurt anymore than she has…"
"They can't wait till she graduates?"
Kenji sadly shook his head "no, I have to report to my new station within three weeks"
Millie nodded "You know Usa-chan is always welcomed here, I just…I just don't see this turning out the way you want it to" she placed her hand over his giving him it a soft squeeze "she lost you once, I don't think she's going to be too big on losing you again"
"Dad, DAD" Usagi yelled grabbing her father's attention "You okay?"
Kenji shook his head "yea" he looked around at the many boxes that lined the walls of his home "Good, I think it's time for some pizza"
Usagi nodded watching as he left the room to find the phone book, smiling she turned grabbing a pile of papers from one of the boxes, instantly dropping them. "Shit" kneeling down she gasped, slowly picking up a photo of her, Mina, Rei, Makoto, Ami and Mamoru…
"What do you mean you're moving?" Minako screamed her fist to her side as she glared at her cousin "You can't leave, we still have two more months before graduation!"
"I can't believe this; you're actually going to leave…again?" Ami whispered tears clouding her vision
Usagi looked at the sorrowful faces of her lifelong friends "I'm sorry guys, but…I have no choice"
"Bull shit!" Rei hissed
"Rei" Makoto placed a hand on her friend only to have her pushed away
"NO!" the pregnant teen yelled standing angry tears falling from her violet eyes "You said you would be here, you promised we would end this year together!"
"Rei maybe you should calm down, this isn't good for the baby" Jed tired
"All of you just shut up!" Rei screamed turning her heated gaze to her blonde friend "you had a choice, you said so yourself that your father said that you could live with your aunt, so why won't you do it?"
"Because I can't lose him again!" Usagi screamed standing up staring intently at her raven haired friend "I'm sorry this hurts you, I'm sorry I'm breaking promises, but you need to understand I lost my mother, my biological mother, then my father…and by some miracle of god I him returned to me?…now you want me to lose him again?" her eyes were pleading as she stared at her group of friends "please I am begging you understand I can't lose him again"
Hearing her father lift the phone she yelled "No onions!" taking a seat on the bubble wrapped couch Usagi sighed
It wasn't that she wanted to leave her friends behind; it was that she couldn't leave her father.
"Come on that's the best part of the pizza!" Kenji whined as Usagi walked to her father shaking her head "Fine, no onions it is" he pouted
She smiled kissing his cheek "thank you daddy"
Mamoru sat in silence as he watched the ducks swim past him. "They said I would find you here" he didn't bother to look up, he knew it was Usagi. "May I sit?" she asked. Mamoru only nodded his eyes still on the creatures swimming in the cooling lake
"So you're moving" he whispered, before Usagi could respond he continued "I understand the reasoning" he turned his head slowly making eyes contact with her "I respect your decision Usako"
Usagi felt the tears stinging her eyes "thank you" she cried as he quickly pulled her into his arms
"I meant what I said before Usako…I'll find you" he whispered in her hair "I'm not going to lose you"
Moving wasn't her favorite situation, but losing her father was much worse.
-Wrapping the microphone up and placing his sheet music in a box Seiya took a deep breath. He understood why Usagi was leaving, he got why she had to go, hell if it was him in her situation he would have done the same thing.
"What are you doing?"
Looking up he smiled as Rei walked up to the stage a confused look on her face "I'm pulling out of the show case"
"W-Why?" Rei yelled "You can't do that! Not after you worked so hard"
"Well I can't exactly play by myself, Buns was my partner in this…her vocals were important" he shook his head "besides it's not like my future is depending on this show case…I mean I'm already going to Julliard" he shrugged closing his case
"This is your dream" Rei insisted "this is your chance to make it big, to become famous!"
"What am I suppose to do Rei? Find someone to replace Buns?" he laughed "Please that would take a miracle"
Rei pulled on her red top nervously biting her lower lip "Well I may not sound like Usagi but I do have a good voice…I can help you"
Seiya stopped what he was doing and looked up at the raven haired teen "are you serious?"
Rei fearfully played with her fingers "yea…I mean if you don't mind?"
-"My stuff in ready to go" Kakeru said with a smile "You know Usa-imouto you could stay with Ty and me…I'm not leaving till after graduation…we could meet up with dad after…the day after your graduation if you like" Kakeru was floored the night Kenji and Usagi asked him to move with them…
"Wait what?" Kakeru looked between his sister and father "your leaving?"
Kenji nodded "and we want you to come with us" he added a smile on his face "now you don't have to, I know you have a life here…a career"
Kakeru shook his head "no, no I want to go, it's just…wow its happening so fast"
"That's how it works" Usagi laughed "you get use to it after a while" she shrugged
Kakeru looked at his sister "but what about graduation? There's still two more months of school left"
"As I told the others, I'm not waiting till after graduation, after a few phone calls I'm already prepared to attend a public school in Jacksonville. My papers and everything were faxed this afternoon" she saw her brother ready to ask his next question "and as for my friends, they had a hard time with it at first but eventually they understood…well some of them did"
"I can't just up and leave, I've worked too hard with these kids to just leave them with a sub for the remainder of the school year" he rubbed the back of his head
Kenji nodded understanding "that's fine son, you can simply meet us in Jacksonville in two months" he smiled "we'll have the movers move your things with ours"
"That would work" the younger man agreed "I can stay with Ty for the remainder of the school year"
Kakeru stared at his sister a worried look on his face, "I understand why you're doing this Usa, I really do…I just, graduation is really important…it's a day you will remember for years to come…wouldn't you want to do that with your friends?"
Usagi laughed sarcastically "what friends?" she shook her head taping the box in front of her shut "They haven't even spoken to me since I told them" looking up at her brother she continued "Ami's been throwing herself into her studies, Makoto's and Motoki have been working at the arcade, Minako been spending ever single ounce of her time with Kunzite and Rei" she shook her head "let's just say Rei wants nothing to do with me"
"They just need some time to process the information that's all" he assured
Usagi shook her head taping the next box closed "if you say so"
-Four days later—
"Man that was brutal" Rei whispered exhausted from rehearsal. Seiya took a seat next to his pregnant friend, silently looking out among the empty seats "hey you alright?" she asked noticing his for longed expression
Seiya shook his head placing his water bottle to the side "I was just thinking"
"'bout what?"
"Buns"
"What about Usagi?" Rei turned her head taking a sip from her water bottle
"Don't you think we're being a bit hard on her?" He thought for a moment "correction, don't you think you're being a bit hard?"
"Hard? Seiya she just shows up and said "hey I'm moving" what did you expect us to do? Just sit back and say 'okay have a safe flight, hope to see you again soon' please"
"Rei, I understand why you're upset…but look at this through her eyes"
"Look at what Seiya? Usagi had a choice she was given a choice to stay or go and she chooses to go? There's noting to understand!"
"Hey" the two turned to a concerned Jed "What's going on?" he asked seriously walking down the theatre with two bags of lunch in hand "Why is Rei so upset?" he placed the bags on the stage walking over to his pregnant girlfriend "you need to calm down Rei, getting upset will raise your blood pressure and raising your blood pressure isn't good for the baby" he hissed placing a hand on her belly
"I didn't mean to upset you Rei" Seiya jumped off the stage turning to look at the two of them, "I just don't think it's fair that your punishing her for wanting to stick by her father's side…did she ignore you or push you away when you found out you were pregnant?" he watched as her heated expression softened "didn't think so" he whispered "You really need to think about this Rei…your pride or a lifelong friendship" and with that he turned and left.
Jed watched as Seiya exited the theatre turning to his girlfriend he took a breath "He's right you know…wait just hear me out" with a small nod he went on "You need to put yourself in her position red, she lost her mother and then was told she lost the one remaining parent she had left…now that he's back how could you even think for a moment that she wouldn't of chose to go with him?" He kissed her cheek and than her stomach "life is full of changes but it's our friendships that keep up strong"
Rei stared at her fingers "what should I do?" she whispered
"Take this bag of delicious freshly baked Dorayaki to her house" he smiled handing her one of the brown bags "I remember my girlfriend saying this was her favorite Japanese sweet?"
Rei kissed his cheek "are you sure? This was meant to be a lunch for the two of us"
Jed shrugged "Don't worry about it I have eternity to spend with you, now go" he said lifting her off the stage "reconcile with that delicious smelling friend of yours."
