Shooting Star
As the country slept, five girls lay on the grass in the park. It was well past midnight and three of the girls slept, while two stared up at the sky. Tonight was the night of the shooting stars and the two blonds were not going to miss it, no matter how tired they were. Ami wanted to see them, too, but being so used to falling asleep early, she ended up falling asleep. Rei and Makoto were only there to protect the others, in case an enemy attacked; though they hadn't had one since Galaxia.
Minako squeezed Usagi's hand and squealed softly in excitement. Usagi smiled and continued to watch the sky. Suddenly, one shooting star flew by. Minako and Usagi exchanged a quick glance at each other, a huge grin plastered on each of their face. They turned their attention to the sky as a shower of shooting stars coated the sky. Both girls searched through the mass amount of seemingly falling stars, hoping to find the ones most important to them. But they couldn't and as soon as the shower had started it ended. Usagi frowned and Minako sighed.
As they began to stand up, Minako – still holding Usagi's hand – pulled the second blond down, back into place. She was squealing softly and pointed to three shooting stars that had lingered, longer than the others. Usagi followed Minako's pointing arm and saw the three brightest stars that she had ever seen. One shining even more brightly than the other two. She smiled and her heart skipped a few beats.
"Do you think that's them, Usagi-chan?"
The girls stared at each other, questioningly before breaking out into huge grins. "Yes!"
They turned their attention back to the stars, who were still crossing the sky.
"Do you think they can see us, Usagi-chan?"
Usagi shrugged, "If we are as bright to them as they are to us, then yes. I'm positive they can see us." Usagi waved up at the stars and shortly after Minako repeated the action. After five minutes of studying the stars, they disappeared. Usagi and Minako stood and gently nudged the other girls awake.
