I sighed as I sat boredly in my bed upstairs. MInako called about five minutes ago and said she and the gang were coming by. I've been thinking all day about Mamo-chan and why he doesn't like Christmas. Maybe... I've never heard him mention any family. Maybe.... If my dream IS true... Mamo-chan is and orphan.
I blink back a tear. Oh Mamo-chan... You'll have a family for the holidays.
You'll have love, friends and a family for the holidays... I promise...

"Mamoru... Just grab the dang gift and come on! She'll love it no matter what! Trust me!" Motoki said pulling my arm. I sighed again. We had all gotten her stuffed bunny rabbits. Minako had picked a small orange one, Ami's was blue, Rei's was red, Motoki's was green and mine was pink. It was larger than all of the others and was holding a little red rose. What if she hates pink? What if- 
"Mamoru.. please... We have got to hurry. SHe'll love it!" Motoki pulled me away and payed for the bunny. As we walked out of the store, somthing inside me told me that Usagi 's favorite color was pink. I hope she likes it. Now Kami-sama give me the courage to give it to her.

I heard my doorbell ring and immediatly sat up straight in my bed. I heard mom great them downstairs, and I heard the shuffling of footsteps up my stairs. Mama knocked on my door.
"Usa-chan... Your friends are here dear..." she said opening my door. In scurried Ami, followed by Lita, then Rei, Minako, Motoki? and ... and MAMO-CHAN? I almost fainted when I saw Mamo-chan at my door. The guy I loved was in my room! 'HOLD UP!' My brain yelled. 'LOVE?!' I thought about it for a moment and looked up to Mamoru, who was looking at the floor shyly? I smiled and nodded inwardly. Of course I love him. 
"Usagi-chan... You feeling better?" Ami asked, breaking my from my daydream. I blushed slightly.
"Hai, Ami-chan... much better.. I'm glad you guys could come over. I was so bored just sitting here in this bed. So what brings all you guys to visit little ole me?" I asked, stressing ALL so maybe Mamoru would pipe up and answer. No such luck.
"We just came to check up on our little Odango Atama, right Mamoru-san?" Rei asked with a bit of a smug look to her. Well thanks Rei. I'm just sick here and you go and tease me.. Please don't let Mamo-chan tease me... please!
"Um... Yeah, Rei-san... We came to visit my Chibi-Odango here..." Mamoru said giving a quirky grin. For some reason no one questioned him when he said my, maybe they didn't here. Why did he say that anyway?
"Speaking of visiting, we all got you something Usa-chan!" Minako said, smiling brightly. The other girls nodded in agreement and immediatly I had a pile of multi-colored bunny rabbits in my lap. Each had a little tag on it, and I got one from everyone, except one person. 
I looked up at Mamoru and when he saw me looking he imediatly held a large pink bunny in my face. I looked at it for a moment before smiling and reaching out to take it.
"Pink, Mamoru-kun?" I asked and giggled, suddenly his face fell and he pulled the bunny back. 
"So sorry, Usagi... I just kinda guessed youliked pink coz all your clothes are mostly pink, and I just.. I just had a feeling pink was your favorite color." He hung his head. I looked at him in wonder. He really thought I didn't like it? I laughed and quickly smiled at him.
"Oh Mamoru-kun! Pink is my favorite color. I was just surprised you knew, that's all." I smiled up at him to see him looking down at me. Slowly he smiled and handed me the bunny back. "Thanks Mamoru-kun. He's so cute." Mamoru smiled and nodded.
"You're welcome, Usagi-chan. I'm glad you like it."

The rest of the afternoon was spent laughing, talking, watching TV and listening to the radio. Minako informed Usagi of her Christmas party and if she felt up to it she could drop by and spend the night. Usagi agreed and said she would be there. Mamoru smiled inwardly, his plan falling into place.
