     1.4 +"It must have been fate"
     1.5 +	by Sara Jaye
     1.6 +
     1.7 +	Hi. ^^ Sara Jaye again, with something a liiittle different than
     1.8 +the usual stuff. ^_^;; I came up with this on the spur of the moment,
     1.9 +while in another one of my introspective trances and thinking about
    1.10 +the Sailor Moon S manga translation I read. I just love the quote
    1.11 +from Hotaru as she returns ChibiUsa's heart crystal: "We're both
    1.12 +girls, but it's strange. It must have been fate that we met". How
    1.13 +romantic! ^=^
    1.14 +	But anyway...
    1.15 +	This is a short, introspective look at ChibiUsa's thoughts after
    1.16 +Hotaru's sacrifice. Not as angsty as most of my other works, but it
    1.17 +is rather sad in a way.
    1.18 +	Enough disclaimer. On with the story. ^_^;;
    1.19 +
    1.20 +[Disclaimers: Sailor Moon is the property of Naoko Takeuchi and Toei
    1.21 +animation. None of the characters belong to me.
    1.22 +This is a yuri/shoujo ai fanfiction, meaning love between 2 girls.
    1.23 +If you are offended by this, then I suggest you leave immediately.
    1.24 +Reading this, being offended/shocked/disgusted, and flaming me will
    1.25 +result in me being very pissed off. And trust me, you do not want
    1.26 +that to happen. Same to you ChibiUsa-haters. But if none of the above
    1.27 +apply to you, enjoy! ^_^]

    1.33 +"We're both girls, but it's strange. It must have been fate that we
    1.34 +met."
    1.35 +
    1.36 +Moments after you're gone, those words still repeat in my mind.
    1.37 +
    1.38 +Fate...
    1.39 +
    1.40 +It's so very cruel. I met you, became attached to you, and now I've
    1.41 +lost you...
    1.42 +
    1.43 +Yes, you did sacrifice yourself to save me, but the fact remains
    1.44 +that you're gone. And I'm left with this sad emptiness, knowing I'll
    1.45 +probably never see you again.
    1.46 +
    1.47 +My best friend...no...this feeling is stronger than just friendship.
    1.48 +
    1.49 +{"It must have been fate that we met..."}
    1.50 +
    1.51 +Fate...
    1.52 +
    1.53 +Just like my mother and father, destined to be together...fate
    1.54 +brought them together...
    1.55 +
    1.56 +Hotaru-chan...you were more than just a friend.
    1.57 +
    1.58 +{"It's good we met. I'm glad we became friends, Chibi-Usa-chan.
    1.59 +Thank you. Goodbye."}
    1.60 +
    1.61 +No, Hotaru-chan. Thank you.
    1.62 +
    1.63 +You gave your life up to give me back mine. You just wanted to save
    1.64 +me...
    1.65 +
    1.66 +More than just a friend.
    1.67 +
    1.68 +And now that I've realized, it's too late. You're gone...
    1.69 +
    1.70 +Hotaru-chan...
    1.71 +
    1.72 +				~
    1.73 +
    1.74 +	The solemn pink-haired girl looked down at her brooch, her crimson
    1.75 +eyes filling with tears.
    1.76 +
    1.77 +	'Aishiteru, Hotaru-chan,' she thought as her tears began to fall.
    1.78 +
    1.79 +				~End~
    1.80 +
    1.81 +	Yay! Another fanfic I finished in one night! ^_^ I love that
    1.82 +feeling...finishing a story gives me a bit of a high, in a sense.
    1.83 +^_^;; Anyways, I won't bother with a long anfternote here, just
    1.84 +thanks to Heather-sama for sending the manga translation and
    1.85 +inspiring me to come up with this. ^^ (And an apology for not doing
    1.86 +the same in the afternote to my first Tomoyo&Sakura story. ^^;;; How
    1.87 +that slipped my mine I will never know. O_o So I'll thank her for the
    1.88 +inspiration to write that as well. ^_^;) You can read her wonderful
    1.89 +fanfiction at http://fly.to/moonlit_nights.
    1.90 +	Ja ne! ^_^
