Normal?! Am I crazy?! First of all,I am actually walking-not running to school.Secondly,I'm hardly a crybaby anymore.Third,I nearly quite *never* clutz out.And fourth,I actually studied the night before! Oh, it's useless! Trying to think that everything is normal.Well,yeah,eve rything is normal.For them.But for me? No.It's so unfair.Why do I al- ways have to be the one left with a problem? Oh,why is love so..so... *difficult,so blind*? Let me see..Okay I guess I'd come to the conse- quences.I pictured Mamoru on one side and Seiya on the other.Mamoru, someone serious,loving,hardworking.Someone who had risked his life for me about a hundred times.Someone who carried our love for who'd know how long.But Seiya on the other hand was athletic,exciting,dash- ing.Daring.A person who's cool.Just like Mamoru.Oh who? Who of them? I even saw Seiya chattering with the other Starlights earlier.Oh,does he even care? When I had no memory,I loved him,he loved me.I under- stood why he lied to me.I knew that he wanted to be with me,even for once.But now,is it the same? Mamo-chan loves me too... I reached the Juuban High.Mako-chan's mouth dropped in suprise.I ne- ver got to school on time-until now. "Usagi-chan,come here!" she waved to me. I ran to her and found Ami and Mina with her. "You know,everything is back to normal.Guess Mikala-sensei would be calm now.Just don't go on that witch,bully,brat-like style." Ami said. "Ha! I guess I'd be normal." Mina laughed: "Remember how you said "Bad move babe!" ?" I grimaced.I didn't remember much of my evil,controlled life: "Did I say *that*?" Mako: "Oh yes,you did.You always got into major bull-trouble." I laughed: "Hah! Bull trouble.How ironic.I heard I got memory trouble with Mikala-sensei." "Oh,yes you did." said a voice at our back. I turned and saw the three lights.All of them.And Seiya. ====================================================================== I smiled as I saw a suprised Usagi look our way.Her eyes wide with suprise.I always loved her eyes.They were as blue as the night sky.I loved her so much.But now she remembers everything. "Hey,Odango Atama!" I said and hit her playfully on her arm. "Hey Seiya!" she responded hitting me back. I always loved how it felt when she touches me.Her hands were warm. Makoto sat up and smiled: "Hi guys!" Yaten: "Hey,pinch me! I must be dreaming.Usagi arriving in school be- fore us! It's too much! I think I'm going crazy." Usagi laughed.I love her laugh: "Well then you're not!" she smiled. I felt nervous.Does she still care? Did she miss me? Oh,I want to take her in my arms.But she's already taken.But I had taken her too. Why does love have to be so *difficult and blind*? She suddenly stood "I guess I better study for the English test.Math occupied me last night.I only had a quick browse of it.Anyway,my Music class would get my full attention.Gotta' cram!" she took her book and went away. I knew she was avoiding me.She didn't want any trouble.I watched her retreating back.Her blond ponytails bouncing.Maybe someday I'd win her.She's the only person to make me feel this way. ====================================================================== I quickly walked toward the football field of the school.No one was around.I can't stand a minute with Seiya without hugging or even gi- ving him a quick kiss on the cheek.Oh,I loved him so much! If only he knew.Seiya..I loved you.I love you.But I loved Mamoru too.I opened my book.I tried to read but the only things I saw and thought was those three words: Seiya or Mamoru?"Get them out of your mind!" I scolded.I studied.I tried my best.I memorized all.Though those words still came popping to my mind.Okay,things were fine.All memorized.Suddenly my mind was filled with Seiya's images.Oh leave me alone, you! Hate it! I got up and ran for class.It was gonna' be a long day. ====================================================================== We went to our English class.I sat between Yaten and Taiki.We were on time.Wonder where Usagi is.Then,as if a dream came.Usagi entered. She quickly took her seat in front of me and fixed her books.I could tell she was running.Maybe she came from the football field.Beads of sweat dropped from her forehead.However,she was still beautiful.Her smile was as radiant as the sun.Oh no! She's looking at me.She actua- lly caught me staring at her! "Is anything wrong?" she asked. "Oh,no! Nothing at all!! I stammered. "Oh,well.." she returned back to fixing her books. Oh,well.She didn't recognise a thing,good. ====================================================================== Oh he was staring at me.He didn't know that I had been stealing glan ces at him.Haruna-sensei came to the room and checked our attendance. When she handed the test papers,I felt nervous.Not knowing the answer was what I felt before.But now,I felt like I knew.Hmm..this one's "verb",this one's "adjective clause",this one's............ ====================================================================== "AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaacccccccckkkkkkkkkk!!!!! A 97 percent!! Have I gone bananas??! This is so gooooood!! My parents and Mamo-chan would be soooo glad and proud! AM I DREAMIN'??!!" Usagi screamed.Her scream attracted attention. "Ooops. Sorry." Things had been fine for the sixteen year-old teenage girl.She had patched up with Mikala-sensei.It was the next day.Usagi had been feeling sick deciding within Mamoru and Seiya. she usually thinks. She stared at the red 97% on her test paper. she thought.She really had a high grade once again! But all the cheering efforts on her mind did no good.She had been avoiding Seiya.Everytime they meet,she had either excused herself to the bathroom or to another place.If not,she'd turn and run to the other direction.Same with Mamo- ru.He had been wondering and been thinking if Usagi would wanted him back.She didn't even answer their phone calls.Suddenly, she saw the Starlights walking toward them.She quickly excused herself and went to the bathroom. she thought. ====================================================================== Seiya watched as she went to the bathroom. he thought.He scored a 95%.He walked near them and said: "Hey guys!Check this out,Taiki had a 100% and Yaten and I got 95% on the English test." Mina smiled: "I got an 89%," she blushed. "Mako got a 92%,Ami got 100 and Usagi got a 97%." The Starlights jumped in suprise: "What?!!" Mina: "I said I got-" Yaten: "No,Usagi got a 97 percent,USAGI??" Mina: "No kidding,she had been screaming like crazy too." Seiya laughed: "Guess she'd been working hard." Mako: "Yeah." Seiya was about to talk more when he saw Usagi walking quietly toward the exit with Osaka Naru.She was blushing.Naru was staring at her test paper and comparing it with hers.Naru finally got contented and smiled She waved and went the other way.Usagi smiled and went to the right. He quickly ran and seized the opportunity to talk to her.And ask her about one thing: Would she rather have Mamoru or him?" ====================================================================== Fireball already left.Which meant that Seiya couldn't ask for advice. Makoto quickly ran in front of him and went inside Nephlite-kun's car. Mina went walking with Jedaite.Yaten walked toward Rei's school.Taiki walked Ami home.He catched up with Usagi and spun her around: "We must talk." Usagi looked down: "What do you want to talk about?" Seiya sighed: "You already know it." Usagi: "I said,what do you want to talk about." she stated it coldly & firmly. Seiya: "Usagi,do you still love me?" Usagi froze then slowly looked at him: "I.....I...I do." Seiya: "Then why are you being so cold to me?" Usagi: "Look Seiya,I love you.But I love Mamoru too.And this is not the proper place to talk about it,so please understand." With that,she pushed away from him,ran home and left a shocked Seiya behind. ====================================================================== Mamoru was walking home from work when he saw a girl running pass him He realized that it was Usagi.She had tears in her eyes.And she was ca rrying two books and a test paper.Her eyes were wide with confusion. "Whoa! Hey Usagi! Slow down!" Usagi stopped and turned around to see him.She looked beautiful,he'd admit.But those tears made him curious and worried. "What do you want?" she asked. He was suprised by that cold tone: "What's wrong,Usako?" he asked. Usagi took it by suprise and quickly rubbed away her tears: "No,nothing's wrong,really." "I don't trust you when you say that." ,thought Usagi: "No,I'm really fine." Mamoru looked worriedly at her: "No you're not.I'll walk you home." Usagi: "No,you don't really have to,I'm fine see? I-" Mamoru: "No,I'm walking you home." He took her books and looked at the 97% mark.He suddenly turned to her and asked her: "A 97 percent?! Have you gone crazy?" He was only greeted by a dazed Usagi looking at the sunset. "Hey,earth to Usagi,the moon is gonna' blow up and it will destroy earth." he said waving his hands across her face. "That is very interesting..." Usagi mumbled. "Hey,Dimando's back and he's gonna' get you!" Usagi snapped out of her trance and clung to him: "Where? Where?" Mamoru laughed: "He's dead." Usagi released her grip: "That was not very funny." Mamoru: "Hey,you got to get out of that dream of yours." Usagi blushed: "Ha,hah,very funny." Mamoru: "It's better than leaving you alone and have you bumping your head on the nearest pole and having you say sorry to it." Usagi: "Okay,okay.I lose." Mamoru grinned.He loved everything about her.And hates her being mad: "If you wanna talk,I'm here." Usagi smiled: "Thanks,I better go." She took her books and kissed him on the cheek.Then she headed home. "Usagi,I love you!" he said ====================================================================== Usagi heard the "I love you's" of Mamoru. ======================================================================That night.... ====================================================================== Usagi was having a dream.She was in the palace of the Moon Kingdom. She walked toward the balcony and saw hundreds of people dancing.All elegantly dressed.Her mother appeared beside her and led her inside. "My dear,darling Serenity.Do you want to be as happy as they are?" "Yes mother." "Then you must follow your heart." Her mother suddenly disappeared and she found herself lying on the grass.She was in a field of flowers and she watched on. she thought. Then she saw herself and Seiya kissing,How happy she was.But she also saw Mamoru watching them.A sad look on his eyes.In his hands were the Star locket.Tears suddenly coursed down his cheeks. She suddenly felt some sensation and found herself hidden in a broom closet.She peeked and saw herself and Mamoru hugging.Seiya was there with the others.There was also a grim expression on his face. she thought.Then she saw her and Endimyon dancing waltz.Then she saw her dancing with Seiya on their first date.But she saw Mamoru's pained eyes.The way he tried to sacri- fice staying away from her.When he dumped her.The times they both cried themselves to sleep.When he said "Usako.".She saw his rage every time Dimando took her in his arms.Suddenly,she knew what to do. ====================================================================== The next day.... ====================================================================== They were all in class.Usagi passed a piece of folded paper to Seiya. he thought.He read it slowly. Seiya, Meet me at the park this afternoon.We have LOTS of things to talk about.Please come,for me...We need to solve this problem.....Go to the third bench from the lake. 5:00. Usagi He folded the paper in half and decided that he would be going. ===================================================================== Usagi sat nervously on the bench.,she thought.She had passed him a letter.She waited and waited..Suddenly,a figure went near her. "Seiya,is that you?" "Yeah." came his reply. He sat near her. "Look,we need to talk." Usagi told him. "Yeah,I guess we should." "Seiya,I loved you,and always will.But I have Mamoru.We were destined to be together.Please understand." "Yes,I do.Anyway I already thought about it and I understand.I'm not even worthy of having you." "Thank you,Seiya.You'll always have a special place in my heart.And I would never forget the little thing we shared that didn't last for long." Seiya smiled: "Same with me." They kissed each other for the last time and smiled. "I'll never forget you Odango Atama." "Same with me Seiya,you monster." Then they both laughed. ====================================================================== I knew it,I would lose.I saw Seiya and Usagi kissing in the park. What did she see in him that she didn't see in me? And what about Chibi-Usa? The future can be changed.Maybe we were never meant to be. Seiya is so lucky.I wiped a tear away and ran faster.On the way.I met Seiya.I quickly shook his hand and said sadly. "Congratulations Seiya,you won the match.Take care of Usagi for me, please." Seiya looked puzzedly at me: "What do you mean,Mamoru-san?" Huh?: "Don't go pretending Seiya,you won." then I ran away and left him behind. ====================================================================== Seiya looked confusedly at Mamoru's retreating back.,he thought. ======================================================================A week later.... ====================================================================== "I don't get it.Why doesn't Mamo-chan return my calls?" Usagi asked. "I think he thought that you chose me." Seiya replied. "What do you mean,Seiya?" Usagi asked again. Seiya explained and told her what Mamoru told him. "Oh,no..." Usagi sobbed uncontrollably and buried her head in his shoulder. "Look,to cheer you up I'll take you to the carnival." "Thanks Seiya,but you don't have to,I-" "No,you've been under a lot of stress.And you are coming with me." "Look,-SEIYA,LET GO OF ME!!!!" she screamed. But Seiya was already busy pulling her to the carnival. ====================================================================== "Ha,hah! That was really great." Usagi laughed. "Feelin' better?" Seiya asked. Usagi suddenly looked down: "To tell you the truth,I'm feeling quite better." Seiya smiled: "Lets try that booth." Usagi hesitated: "Okay." They went to a booth in which you have to pop a balloon using a dart and if you do,you'd win a prize rabbit. Usagi tried it.She aimed but when she was about to trow the dart,she tripped sending the dart flying.She aimed it first to a small balloon so that she would win a small rabbit.When she tripped,the dart went up and hit a huge balloon. "Congratulations,girly." said the mister. "Whoa! I won??" Usagi asked. "Yes." "Ooooh! I won!" Usagi said taking the stuffed rabbit. "Hey Odango,congratulations." "Hah,ha." ====================================================================== The whole day,they went taking pictures and everything.Soon,night came and they were to head home. "Ha,hah.That was really great Seiya." Usagi laughed as she went in his car. She plopped herself down and relaxed.Seiya sat on the driver's seat. He suddenly turned to her: "Um..Usagi?" "Yeah?" He sighed: "I just want to tell you that I still care and that you could come to me when you need me.I'll always be here." Usagi: "Thanks Seiya,I understand." she stared at the window. Seiya shifted uncomfortably: "Usagi..." Usagi turned to him,the faint moonlight showed his features and his outline.For the first time in her full will was she atrracted to him. He leaned closer and she felt his breath.She closed her eyes and felt his lips on hers.She returned it.And felt wonderful,so wonderful.... The End. _____________________________ "Whaaat? No,it can't be!!!!" "Hey just kidding,read on." ^_^ !! _____________________________ But when she shifted,the star locket fell out of her bag and dropped to tha ground.Suddenly,it poured out it's music which broke them free. Usagi remembered Mamoru and shook her head: "We can't do this Seiya,we can't.Please understand." Tears flowed from her eyes.She suddenly reached for the locket.She quickly tossed it in her bag,got out of the car and ran home.Tears coursing down her cheek. Seiya thought sadly and drove home. he thought and continued driving. ====================================================================== "Dear,there's someone on the door for you,his name is Seiya Kou!" Usagi's mother shouted to her.Usagi sighed.She had avoided him for three days.She shouted back. "Mom,tell him I'm asleep and couldn't come down!" "Too late Odango,I'm already here." Usagi turned around and saw Seiya: "Um..what do you want?" Seiya smiled and sat on her bed: "Are you still avoiding me?" Usagi: "It comes in the territory." Seiya got up and went to her.He held her hands: "I know how you feel. And I know where you will feel final happiness.If you want to be with Mamoru.You must go to him.And if that is what would make you happy,I would let you have it and help you." Usagi smiled: "Thanks Seiya,thank you very much." Seiya: "Meet me in the park tommorow,I have an idea." ====================================================================== "So,what's the plan?" Usagi asked sitting on the bench. Seiya sat beside her and said: "Well,here.You need a gossipy friend's participation.And you need to be there too.Do you have any ideas?" Usagi thought for a while and suddenly snapped her fingers: "I have it.Minako's the perfect person! With Yaten's conceitedness's help of course." Seiya smiled: "Okay,so here's the plan.........." ====================================================================== "I love it.Of course we'd do it!" Minake shreiked. Usagi smiled: "Okay,and don't mess up." Yaten: "Of course. Us? Mess up? No way!" Seiya: "Good,see ya'!" ====================================================================== The next day.... ====================================================================== Mamoru walked down the sidwalk sadly.He usually was happy.But not now Without Usagi beside him,he felt like a useless piece of sour bread. He suddenly saw Minako and Yaten heading toward him: "Hey,guys!" Mina walked toward him: "Too bad about you and Usagi huh?" Mamoru froze: "Yeah,sure,too bad." Yaten: "Well,I suggest you show Seiya who you are.You and Usagi were meant to be and his stealing her away from you.I suggest you confront him after school tommorow and show him who you are." Mamoru: "Hmmm,I dunno." Minako: "He's right you know." Yaten: "Show them some pride and win Usagi back." Minako: "Yeah.Think.Usagi back in your arms again and both of you happy ever after.You won't even have to beg her to come back." Mamoru: "Hmm...Yeah.I guess your right." Minako: "Go Mamoru!" ====================================================================== The next day.... ====================================================================== Mamoru waited impatiently for Kou Seiya to come out.Finally,he went out.Mamoru walked toward him.Seiya turned to him and asked. "What do you want?" "I'm here to tell you something." To Mamoru's suprise,he suddenly smiled. "Mamoru,here's Usagi." Usagi walked near them. Mamoru: "So,you're both here to rub it in huh?" Usagi laughed: "You were mistaken Mamoru." Seiya joined her: "Yeah,you made a big mistake." Mamoru: "What do you mean?" Usagi laughed and shook her index finger at him: "You know,the kiss you saw was our last kiss because I chose YOU and not him.Because I love YOU more then I love him.Don't you understand? I can't even be- lieve you doubted our love which survived for thousands of years." Mamoru shook his head in shock: "Oh,Usagi-" "I forgive you." Usagi cut in. "Huh?" Mamoru asked. "I forgive you." Usagi repeated. "Oh,I'm so glad!" Mamoru said and spun her around: "I'm sorry Seiya." Seiya smiled: "It's alright Mamoru-san." "Ahem,we are leaving but we would be back for christmas." Usagi turned to him: "We understand.Thank you very much Seiya." ====================================================================== "Oh,it's so boring without the Starlights." "Don't worry,they'd be back soon." Rei sighed: "I miss Yaten." Makoto: "Well,atleast true peace is back." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a far away place.... Two bloody figures lay in the ground.Suddenly,a black crystal floated and began feeding energy to the silvery blue haired figure.It seemed to be connected to it's holder.The figure's eyes opened. The crystal suddenly spoke: "Get up,gather your energy.And soon,we'd get full revenge on those medling senshi.And you'd win Serenity for eternity.I know that we'd win." The figure laughed. "I guess I better heal myself.They didn't know thatthey have to destroy the crystal too to destroy me." "Revenge will happen soon....." The End. Starlight Romance 2: The Return= Coming VERY SOON.
