YOUR LIFE ISN'T COMPLETE WITHOUT SEEING IT! hee hee. it is so good! did anyone see Sailor Moon S or SS? What is the basic plot? please tell me! well...thanx to everyone that emailed me! that includes...Christina..Sailor Horizon-..uh..and all you wonderful people! so be nice and e-mail me! please! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "so, mamoru, what's your crush's name?" "Uh..her name is similar to yours...Usako." "That's too bad. I thought my name was unique. Too bad, I guess." "No...I think Usagi and Usako are cute names. Especially when the girl is cute." Usagi was confused by that statement, so she ignored it. "What does shelook like? Is she breathtakingly beautiful? Elegant?" Mamoru smiled dreamily. "She is the most gorgeous person alive...when she walks into a room, she lights it up with love and happiness. She radiates elegance and sophistication with her little touches and innocence. She is always happy, always ready to love, always ready to take you into her arms.. that's why I love her so much..because she is even sweet to me, the most coldhearted, friendless man in Tokyo." Mamoru's head drooped, as he thought of Usagi's infectious happiness. "Oh Mamoru!" Usagi's eyes glistened with tears. "She sounds so wonderful. I want to meet her. She sounds so perfect, like a goddess. You're so lucky to have her!" Mamoru smiled. "Actually, you might have met her a couple times. She is frequently at the Arcade." "Oh." "She always makes a grand entrance when she gets there. You might have noticed her a couple times. She has a lot of friends, and is always happy to be with them, although sometimes one of them is really mean to her. Have you seen her before?" "No." "Is there something wrong, Usagi? You can always tell me." he replied, worried at her tone of voice. She sighed. "Your girl sounds so beautiful, and just so perfect. I wish I could be as perfect as her. It's so unfair that i'm just this ugly klutz that is stupid and nobody likes me!" Mamoru could sense that that wasn't all she was unhappy about. "Is thatit?" Suddenly, she let it all out. "You might as well know, I am so completely jealous of you. NO, I don't want your girl, but being so happily in love sounds so wonderful. I love a guy that doesn't even realize that I like him, even as a friend. I don't even know how I started to love him. He's always been somewhat an annoying person, but somehow i've fallen in love with that annoying personality. I know that it is only a facade, shielding the weak, hurting boy, but I don't know how to get through. He is leaving me soon, and i'll never see him again." Her throat choked with tears, and she began to sob quietly. Mamoru's head, that had been down the whole time, rose as he heard thepain and sadness in her voice. What had happened to her patented smile? Was itall gone, becuase some worthless boy that didn't like her? He would beat thatboy if he knew who he was. Usagi was a treasure, and that piece of worthless junk didn't even know she existed. His blood began to boil. "Usagi-chan," 'My Usako,' he thought, "Maybe he's not worth your time. If he doesn't realize how precious you are, then he doesn't deserve you." "No! I guess I just don't deserve him. I'm worthless." He looked at her, and realized she was crying. He was totally shocked and said something that would change his whole life. "USAKO! Tell me who that jerk is and I'll punch him to a pulp for hurting you! I swear to god, if he hurts you one more time, I'll personally make sure that he regrets it every day of his puny life..." he trailed off, mumbling curses and threats to the man that was hurting his beloved. Usagi, however, was shocked and squeaked out one word. "Usako?" Mamoru was stunned to silence and blushed bright red. He held up a hand defensively. "Listen, Usak..gi, I can explain. Really. Please, I don't want to ruin anything, so just listen. Please." Meanwhile, Usagi had been developing a frown on her face. "Explain. Right now." She sent him a chilling look and made him shiver. 'What's wrong with her?I thought she'd be happy to know that someone likes her!' However mean Usagi looked on the outside, she was grinning on the inside. 'Yes!!!He loves me! he loves me!' her heart sang. 'But i've gotta pretend i'm angry. hee hee. just to make him sort of uncomfortable.' "Well.." Mamoru stuttered. " I uh...like you a lot. Yeah! I like you a lot. And since, as you know, I'm leaving soon, I uh...wanted to tell you. And so, I sort of made up a girl and stuff and invited you over here. And you should know the rest." "What kind of sucky excuse is that? I can't believe you. You put me all that torture for nothing. Get out of my life!" Usagi stood up and began to walk away. Honestly, she wanted to laugh out loud, and it would never do to for Mamoru to see her laugh at his sweet antics. The familiar looking waiter came up to try to stop her. "Madam, I really think you should--" "Motoki, thanks for everything. You're a real dear." she patted his cheek and smiled at him. He blushed and began to stare goggle-eyed at her. Unfortunately, he was brought back to the real world with a smack on the head, courtesy of Mamoru. "Ow! What was that for?" "She's MY girl, not yours, you baka!" "I'm not the baka! I am innocent! I told you this wouldn't work, REMEMBER?" "Whatever...you baka!" Mamoru rushed after Usagi. He spotted her running to Kasai Park. (AN: a real place in Japan, really pretty!) "Usagi, please!" he yelled. "Go away Mamoru! Just go!" She began to run even faster. After running for a long time, she stopped at a little gazebo right next to the lake. It was hidden by a lot of brush, and it was her favorite place to go and think. She sat down to catch her breath. "Hi, Usagi." she looked up, and across from her, sat Mamoru, casually lounging his head against a pole. "How do you know about this place? I thought it was well hidden." "It is well hidden. I just know about it." "How did you get here? I didn't hear you anywhere." Mamoru grinned. "I have my SECRETS!" he boomed majestically. Usagi cracked up. "Hahahaha! Oh my god!--snort--you look so funny--honk honk--you look like someone...uh..--hahaha--oh..i remember! Motoki did that once to me!" Mamoru fell silent. "how did you know?" "How did I know what?" "That Motoki was the waiter." She snorted scornfully. "Gimme a break! He gave me my favorite water, offered me a chocolate milkshake, and his mustache was half coming off!" Mamoru groaned. "Motoki no baka!" he muttered. "Aw, Mamo-chan, give him a break!" "Mamo-chan?" "I think it fits you better than Mamoru. Mamoru is too serious. Gives me the willies." "I think Usako fits you better than Usagi." "But i'm not a little rabbit!" "To me you are!" Usagi blushed. Then she walked over to Mamoru's side and sat down next to him. "I really appreciate what you did." he put his head on her shoulder and sighed dramatically. "Ah, the pains and trials when one is in love!" Usagi laughed again. "That sounded SO bad!" Mamoru decided not to question Usagi about why she ran away. "So, how did my plan work?" "It was okay. I was curious about that invitation, and when Rei did a fire reading on the card, Motoki's head popped up. But I knew he was head over heels for Reika, so I wondered who sent it to me." "Wow! Rei is so powerful huh?" "Yeah! Wait till you see her when she gets angry. Her face turns red and steam begins to pour out of her ears, and she looks like Puff the Magic Dragon! Then she shouts AkuRyo TaiSan! and throws pieces of paper at you, as a symbol that she wants to vaporize you! That's why she's still single. All the guys are afraid of her. And you should see Lita! Why, when she gets angry, she gathers static and starts buzzing you! It drives me nuts. And when Minako gets mad, she starts singing Ricky Martin's Livin La Vida Loca, then she begins to dance and do that hip thing, and then--" "Uh, Usagi? You're getting sidetracked." "Oh." Usagi blushed. "Sorry. What were we talking about? Oh yeah, your brilliant plan. Well ANYWHOO, I came over to that restaurant, and there I was bombarded with a waiter whose brown wig showed locks of blonde hair, and whose mustache was coming off." "Motoki!" mamoru groaned again. "It's okay. It was funny! Well anyway, i saw YOU there. Hey, ya know, you look pretty hot tonight!" she grinned up at him. "Thanks. You look gorgeous, too." "Remember Mamo-chan. Don't use those flirting stuff on me. Never works." "Then why are you blushing?" he asked her slyly. "Uh..cuz i ran too much." "SURE, Usako. you never take anything seriously!" "but that's why you like me, right?" she patted his hair. "Usako, I just love everything about you. I've loved you since....since I knew who you were. And I loved you even more when you tried to send me roses." "You knew it was me?" "Well, a bunch of stupid girls sent me flowers before, and since Motoki works at the florist, he told me who sent me flowers. One day, he told me that his friend, Tsukino Usagi was planning to send him flowers. He didn't know I knew you, and tried to recommend you to me! I of course, had been insulting you for quite a while by then, but I wanted to show you how much I really cared, so I asked him to cancel your order and take mine instead." "It was you who sent me that rose? Well, it figures. You are too sweet!" "And when you ran out on me tonight, I thought I was going to lose you. Ya see, I have never done this 'romantic stuff' before. Most of the time, the girls chase me. Why did you run out on me anyway?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ okay, i'm sorry i have to cut it short! i've got homework to do now! please tell me what you guys thought....and promote my story as much as possible! please! if any of you guys have archives, please include me as an author! just tell me so i can check it out, k? thank you so much! i love u guys! ~sailor em (sailorgalaxia1@yahoo.com)
