| 8 There she is, just standing there, radiating in a beauty. Her soft, | |
| 9 pink hair flowing in the wind as she gently runs down the hill to try and | |
| 10 catch her hat. This scene before me reminds me of when we met, only | |
| 11 things are very different now, though. I gently place my hand in my | |
| 12 pocket for reassurance as to what I was about to do, feeling the velvet- | |
| 13 covered box within my fingers I breathe gently. Slowly standing up, I | |
| 14 leave the basket and picnic mat we placed and run off to catch the hat | |
| 15 she just can't reach. Gently reaching, our hands make contact with each | |
| 16 other instead of the summer hat; we both just give a little giggle at | |
| 17 this motion, we both being what we are now, my beautiful princess and I. | |
| 18 Again a reach for the hat and pass it to my friend, wait no lover is more | |
| 19 appropriate. I gently reach for her hat again and pull it from its hold | |
| 20 in the breeze. Brining it down to her face and slowly placing it on her | |
| 21 head, waiting for her to lift her face and allow me to gaze at her beauty. | |
| 22 "Odango-chan" I gently gasp as she does as I wish, just gazing into each | |
| 23 others eyes, I wonder, How did I ever receive such beautiful girl, no | |
| 24 woman. We take each other's hand and slowly walk back up the hill to our | |
| 25 picnic spot, we were no longer just 'good-friends' and I was going to do | |
| 26 something that would affect us both. Gently guiding her down into her | |
| 27 seating spot, I place myself next to her. I take her hand, just gazing | |
| 28 into her beautiful eyes; I gently reach into the pocket, which contained | |
| 29 the velvet box. Brining it out and moving it to her face, I try to speak, | |
| 30 but my voice just wouldn't follow. I try again and it doesn't follow | |
| 31 suite, she doesn't deserve someone this nervous, I think as I let go of | |
| 32 her hand and turn away. "What's wrong?" She says, in a gentle voice | |
| 33 almost killing me, I turn back around and try to speak to her, but can't. | |
| 34 Maybe everyone who takes this step is nervous, I don't really know, I | |
| 35 never really had someone to go to in my time of need, except to woman | |
| 36 before me, yet I wasn't able to turn to her about this. I stand up and | |
| 37 say the only thing I could, "I'm sorry, but I don't deserve someone as | |
| 38 good as you", I feel my stomach turn as I spoke, I run away from her, how | |
| 39 could I do this to her? I turn back to look at her once more, only to | |
| 40 see what I had done to her, why was I doing this? | |
| 41 | |
| 42 Darkness, that's all I was good for, staring at my ceiling in my | |
| 43 bedroom. I remember back then, no one expecting Chibi-Usa would choose | |
| 44 me over Helios, she had two lovers dearly wanting to be with her for all | |
| 45 eternity and she chose me, now I have just destroyed all that we had. | |
| 46 Now that I think, maybe she should have chosen Helios, he was a prince | |
| 47 and would never be this nervous. I fear what people will say, even worse, | |
| 48 how they will treat me now. I hear a gentle sound on the door to my room, | |
| 49 not wanting to see anyone I just turn over. But maybe I should have | |
| 50 locked my door, as Haruka-papa walks into the room, followed by Michiru- | |
| 51 mama and Setsuna, who really scares me, is Setsuna though. I have always | |
| 52 known Setsuna thought of Chibi-Usa as a daughter as she was a part of | |
| 53 Mamoru and Setsuna loved Endymion before, but new it was never possible, | |
| 54 so maybe she'll understand what I am going through. "What is the matter | |
| 55 Hime-chan?" Oh like you don't know, I think as I'm asked a question I | |
| 56 cannot answer. I just lie there, motionless, looking away from the three | |
| 57 who entered my room. Suddenly there is more weight applied to the | |
| 58 opposite side of the bed, I don't want to look, yet I want to know whom | |
| 59 it is? "Hotaru, please tell us what happened between you and Small Lady" | |
| 60 She speaks gently, rubbing my shoulder. I quickly motion for her to move | |
| 61 her hand by pushing it from me, she wanted to know why, but I couldn't | |
| 62 tell her, because I desired the same answer. The weight lifted from my | |
| 63 bed and all I heard afterwards was my door open and close again. What | |
| 64 have I done with my life? Have I ruined everything I had? | |
| 65 | |
| 66 Three days have passed, and I finally have the courage to leave my | |
| 67 room, gently walking down the steps, awaiting another joke from Haruka- | |
| 68 papa. But I reached the bottom of the steps and all I heard was silence, | |
| 69 maybe they didn't care about me anymore? No that is silly, as just as I | |
| 70 made a step into the living room Setsuna-mama made a grab for me, holding | |
| 71 me tight in her grasp. "Hime-chan, we need to talk" she says to me, | |
| 72 causing me to feel gut wrenched, wishing I never left my room, "Don't | |
| 73 worry, I felt we should be alone for this and so I asked Haruka and | |
| 74 Michiru to leave for the moment". She gently guides me into the kitchen, | |
| 75 as it was more quite there. Just sitting down, I wait for the inevitable | |
| 76 question Setsuna is going to ask me. "So, how is your homework, keeping | |
| 77 up in class lately?" Her question confuses me, but from the nervousness | |
| 78 I had, all I can do is giggle. I look at Setsuna-mama, gently smile down | |
| 79 at me; I know she is the senshi of time and knows what has happened, so I | |
| 80 know she is only trying to help. "I haven't been to school for a while" | |
| 81 I reply to her 'question', I really want to tell someone, but I can't, it | |
| 82 was like, when I tried to... "Why's that? What kept you from going to | |
| 83 school?" She asks me. Suddenly I feel a full urge of strength suddenly | |
| 84 build up within me at what I realised. "It's because, I tried to tell | |
| 85 Odango-chan something, but couldn't and I felt, I felt...I've got to go!" | |
| 86 I then knew what I had to do; I slowly stand up and run to the front door, | |
| 87 looking back at Setsuna, seeing a smile on her face, showing me that I am | |
| 88 doing the right thing. I leave the house bound for my next destination, | |
| 89 a place where everything is almost eternal. | |
| 90 | |
| 91 "Taru-chan?" I see the pink haired girl before me, tears welling up | |
| 92 in her eyes, at this moment I believe nothing can stand in my way of what | |
| 93 I am to do, for both of us. I slowly walk up to her, the whole world | |
| 94 seeming to get warmer as every step I make puts me closer to her. | |
| 95 Stopping just a few feet away from her, I see her more clearly, her | |
| 96 beautiful face now stained with the tears I gave her, her appearance, | |
| 97 once exquisite and perfect, now a wreck and a mess. I lower my face in | |
| 98 shame, "Chibi-Usa, I apologise for what I have done to you, you mean | |
| 99 everything to me, I didn't want to hurt you, I...I" I lift my face to see | |
| 100 hers, a confused look on her face, "I love you" I say, her face now | |
| 101 lightening at my words, seeing her reaction, I want to be by her side | |
| 102 even more now. Without consciously acting I suddenly start racing to | |
| 103 reach her, she doing the same in kind, and within a moment we finally | |
| 104 reach other and embrace. 'I'm sorry' is all I can say to her. After a | |
| 105 while of gazing at each other, Chibi-Usa asks me 'the question' I was | |
| 106 dreading anyone to ask me, "What happened?" I slowly take her hand into | |
| 107 mine and gaze into her eyes again, "I was going to ask you something, but | |
| 108 I couldn't and I misinterpreted my feelings" I look away from her because | |
| 109 of what I had said, finally admitting what I had kept trapped inside. | |
| 110 "Well, what were you going to ask?" Her voice, cheerful and fluent, | |
| 111 showing that must have forgiven me, I am so lucky to have her. Looking | |
| 112 at her, the gleam in her face, I knew the perfect time had came up again, | |
| 113 reaching in my pocket for the box I had never removed, I take it and out | |
| 114 hold it to her, my mouth dry and a feeling of nervousness all over me, I | |
| 115 open my mouth, "Chibi-Usa, I love you so much and after everything we | |
| 116 have been through, I have only one thing to say." I open the lid of the | |
| 117 box to expose the silver ring, with gently golden crescent moons dancing | |
| 118 all over it and an amethyst stone in the top, to show that I feel perfect | |
| 119 when she is all around me. "Will you marry me?" I stand there just | |
| 120 looking at her, looking at her turn her face from me. "Taru-chan, I love | |
| 121 you to, but..." Than was probably the worst hit I had ever received in my | |
| 122 life, the 'but' she gave me spiralled around my head, maybe she didn't | |
| 123 love me as much as I wished. "I wanted to propose to you, YES I WILL | |
| 124 MARRY YOU" My world was rocked from side to side at her words, a HUGE | |
| 125 weight lifted from my chest, allowing me to breath again. I gently take | |
| 126 the ring from its box, to place it on her finger, but she quickly removes | |
| 127 her hand from my hold. "Wait" she says to me, as she also takes out a | |
| 128 box, opening it to reveal a gold ring, with a joint crescent moon and the | |
| 129 symbol of Saturn entwined. "Will you marry me?" all I can do is laugh at | |
| 130 this moment, she DID feel the same way about me, I answer the only way I | |
| 131 can, "YES", we both gently exchange our rings, and hug each other softly | |
| 132 and passionately. "This will be a shock to everyone, wont it, my Odago- | |
| 133 chan" I say, putting an emphasis on 'my'. "No, more crazy things have | |
| 134 happened, it's not like people won't have expected it anyway" she says | |
| 135 gazing into my eyes, I gently place my hand on top of hers, allowing out | |
| 136 rings to be seen side by side. "Well, I don't care what anyone says, as | |
| 137 long as I'm with you". |
