To be honest, I'm having atough time with this story, so, I hope you're not mad at the way I'm going to continue it!! *sob* PLEASE don't flame me!! That would break myheart!! Thank you Bridget, Eternal Angel, Artemis, Sailor Starlite, Nana, andKell for emailing me or telling me about my story!! Thanks guys! Guesswhat??!! I'm working on getting a page to put my stuff on!! I'll let y'all knowwhen it's up and everything!! C ya!!*Standard disclaimer, blah, blah, blah!!* Remember: The moonlight carries the message of love!" -Usagi @-->-->->--- Usagi, age 15, wants a friend!! This cannot be the same, NO, itisn't the same person! I thought to myself with complete confidence. Complete fake confidence! C'mon I'm Chiba Mamoru! I shouldn't be chasing aftera 15 year old girl!! Um...Well, 3 years isn't that much...AHHHH!! I've gotto stop this. However, being the strong-willed person that I am, endedgoing out to look for Usagi. Not the one on the card. The one I had met. The one on the card was probably just some kid; I'd get her a stuffedanimal or something. Right now, my mission was to find *her*. Tonight wasChristmas Eve, but it wasn't like I had any plans, so what the heck! Plus, there wouldn't even be another Christmas if I didn't find her. So there Iwas, driving around in a lot of neighborhoods, when, my car broke down. Why? Why me? Why does this kind of stuff always happen to me?!! This housemy car had died in front of was...cute. That's the only way I can thinkto describe it to you. It was made of white wooden paneling with green shutters and a green door. It had a Christmas wreath hanging on thedoor that was covered with all sorts of Christmasy stuff. In the smallyard around the house, all the bushes had rows of colored lights on them..Geez, you could practically *smell* Christmas. Then I looked up, and saw*her*! I'm not kidding!! Her soft blues eyes met mine and held my gaze, untilshe quickly moved back from the window, with fear in her eyes. With fear? That doesn't sound right, but it's true. *sigh* So, she doesn't like me! Anyway, I had to do something fast because I was freezing my butt offand the snow was starting to fall thickly, covering everything with a crisp blanket of white. I walked up tot he door and knocked and soon a womancame to the door. "Hello. May I help you?" "Um, yeah. My car just broke down in front of your house. May Iuse your phone," I asked trying to shake off what I had just seen in their window as pure imagination. "I'm sorry. You can't." "Oh..I'm really sorry for bothering you, I'll just try the nexthouse." "Oh no!! It's not like that!! The phone lines are already downbecause of this snowstorm!!" "Oh..." "I'll see if my husband, Kenji, can fix your car. He's pretty goodat mechanics!" "Thanks so much!" "Just a minute!!" So I waited while she called her husband, whowas incredibly willing to help me fix my car...@-->-->-->--- I was feeling good. I'm hardly sick anymore and school's out for Christmas vacation! I am happily living with a new family thatactually loved me. It's still hard for me to learn and understand exactly whatlove is, but I'd say I'm coming along pretty well. Mostly thanks to thatChiba guy. He was the first person in my entire life to actually care abouthow I felt. I am beginning to love my new family like something that wasmine all along... Still...something is missing. That's when I saw him. Reallyit was that, that Chiba guy staring at me through my window!! I lookedinto his eyes and saw pure joy and....and love. Love??!! I jumped backfrom the window, wondering why he was here and how he found me! Why am I afraidof him? He saved my life! He helped me. He cared. I looked out thewindow to see my new dad waving and Mamoru was driving off. I noticed he lookedinto my window... That's when I knew what I had to do!! Tonight, whileeveryone was sleeping, I'd sneak out to visit him. I needed to thank himfor...? For remembering me because I had been forgotten. Forgotten by any onewho ever glanced my way. Social services, people on the street, people at school, my "parents". All knew I needed help, but they forgot. Theyforgot how to truly care for their fellow man, but he remembered. I would gothankhim. @-->-->-->--- I left the house for Mamoru's at 12:00. That way I could be homein time for Christmas morning with my new family. I had looked up hisaddress in the phone book and luckily knew how to get there without gettinglost. It didn't take long to get there, and soon I was standing on thesidewalk in front of his complex. I was so cold. The snow had been falling and everything was covered with ice. The stinging wind pulled at my hairand played with it. I was about to move when I heard a roaring sound. Iturned and stared into the face of an 18 wheeler, coming strait at me! Iscreamed and tried to jump out of the way, but I was too late! I bounced offthe truck and tumbled onto the hard, frozen ground. I piercing pain shotup my leg and struggled to stand, only to collapse onto the snow. It's okay,I thought. The truck driver will come back. He will come back. He willcome back. He..He's not coming back. The wind was beginning to penetratethrough my jacket. "Someone help me!! Please!! Someone!! Please," I sobbed, "Pleasehelp me...." @-->-->-->-- Have you emailed your favorite author today??!! Hey, stopleaving!! Okay okay, have you emailed the author of Forgotten Angel today??!!
