Haullo!! What's up minna-chan?! I don't have alot to say..... I know, it's a first - but I know that half of you all don't read author's notes anyhoo ^_~ HUGE thanks to my editor **HUGS** and HUGE thanks and **HUGS** to everyone who emails me!!! I love you all! Go read now! Go on, shoo! Time travels at speeds of light, but the healing effect that time could have had on Usagi was much slower than that. For once I felt as helpless as the other Senshi - there was nothing I could do. -Setsuna. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don't Let Me Go: Insanity Chapter: 1 By: Bethany Edited by: Meara ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The sun peaking through the clouds shined off the black fur of a certain cat and caused her to awaken. Yawning, Luna stretched her legs and bared her claws for a second. "Usagi-chan, time to get up!" Silence. This was normal, if Usagi ever woke up on the first try, Luna swore she'd pass out then and there. "Usagi-chan!!" This time she expected at least a yawn, a muffled reply or perhaps a pillow flying at her. When none of this happened, Luna chanced looking up at the bed... ...And gasped. Not only was Usagi not in her bed, but she hadn't slept it in either. Not completely panicked yet, but somewhere on the boarder of it - Luna ran downstairs to check for her mistress. Upon finding a completely Usagi-free house, Luna did panic. Her paws padded up the stairs quickly and found Usagi's communicator. "Senshi! Come in!" Somewhere around three seconds later, the half asleep sound of Minako's voice came over the communicator. "Hai Luna?" "Usagi's missing!" "What?!" was the sound of at least four other Senshi. "Are you sure?" Rei asked skeptically. Luna rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'd contact you if I wasn't sure that she's not here and hasn't been here since last night?" "You left her in her room last night, alone?!" Haruka shouted. "She was very upset last night over her hair, her mother finding out and then Tuxedo Kamen.. maybe that wasn't the best choice to make," Ami reprimanded Luna quietly, wondering why she even opened her mouth to begin with. Luna looked heavenwards. "I know it wasn't the best thing to do, but what was I suppose to say? She needs time away from us." Silence issued over the communicator waves. Finally Rei's face dominated the tiny screen. "Let's go look for her!" ~*~ Two hours later - Tokyo Gardens ~*~ Ami snuck up quietly behind a bench that Usagi was sitting on. The air was quiet and calm, and Ami wondered what Usagi was in such deep thought about. Instead of getting on her communicator to inform the others she found the Princess, she chanced sitting down on the bench instead. "Usagi-chan?" she spoke up quietly. Silence. Ami raised an eyebrow and tried again, a little louder. "Usagi-chan?" The silver haired girl turned slowly and smiled. "Look Ami-chan," she motioned for the ring on her finger. "I'm getting married!" Ami gasped slightly but didn't get another word in until Usagi started chattering away. "He loves me so much; it's a wonderful feeling. He said when he gets back that we'll get married and he'll never leave me again. Isn't that sweet of him?" she continued dreamily. Suddenly she grabbed Ami's hand tightly and started talking in a low whisper, "Will you be my maid of honor? I want all of you all in the wedding, but I'd really like for you to be my maid of honor. But if you don't want to, Rei will do it, I know." "Usagi-chan, Mamoru-san is--" "Oh I know it won't be for another couple of years, but these things take time to plan you know," she smiled and winked. Ami couldn't stand it anymore, tears filled her eyes and she grabbed Usagi by the shoulders. "Usagi-chan! Listen to me! He's gone, Usagi. Mamoru is dead!" Blank blue eyes found Ami's. "What are you talking about?" Usagi inquired, a silly smile plastered on her face. Still holding on to her shoulders, Ami started shaking her. "USAGI! Listen to me! He's DEAD! You have to stop this Usagi-chan, please!! He's Gone!" "What?" Usagi's eyes narrowed and she moved away from the blue haired girl. "What are you talking about?! You're lying! I can't believe you Ami!" Crying out of frustration and heartache, Ami tried reasoning with her. "Usagi-chan, listen. Gomen nasai, but he's gone. He's dead, you know this Usagi. Bringing him back this way is only going to make it worse on yourself." "No," Usagi whispered. "No." Before Ami could react, Usagi ran out of the park and into the night. ~~~~~~~~~~~ I know, this one's really short... Sorry about that ^^ But it moves fast, so that should help. Email me!!
