-----------------------------------
I always knew there was something special about her. But
then it wasn't too difficult to see. She was so innocent. So caring.
She accepted the others into her heart so quickly. It was different
with me though. It took longer for her to accept me. Maybe it was
because of my stubborness. Maybe because of our pasts. It started
the moment we met. Usagi and her odango bobbed up the steps of my
temple with Ami and another of Usagi's friends. I found out that I
was a sailor senshi that day and my life was forever changed. It's
the way she treats me. Dear Usagi-chan, thank you!
============
She's my best friend. Out of all the senshi, we're the closest.
I can talk to her about anything. When we were young, it seemed that
we'd never stop fighting. Now I have Mamo-chan and we have a
beautiful daughter. Crystal Tokyo has never been more peaceful, or
more beautiful. Many of the people, unfortunately, have forgotten
how my friends and I fought to keep it this way. Some disturbing
news has been received. Rei, my closest friend, is having problems.
She hasn't been out of her temple for over a month now. The others
Are worried that something is desperately wrong, and Rei might be
thinking of suicide. But what could I do to help?
Dear Rei, I know the difficulties you had and still live with today
because of Yuuichirou's death are hard to deal with...
{When you feel all alone}
{And the world has turned it's back on you}
...Please don't hesitate to call me...
{Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart}
...I know what it's like to lose someone you love...
{I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you}
...I hear what people say about you...
{It's hard to find relief and people can be so cruel}
...I wish I could make them see the real you...
{When darkness is upon your door}
{And you feel like you can't take anymore}
========================
I hadn't been away from the temple at all for about a month
after Yuuichirou died. I guess I was waiting, more like hoping, for
death to come knocking on my door. I knew it wouldn't. We, the
sailor senshi, age so slowly it's as if we could live forever. One day
there was a knock at my door. I hoped it was death coming for me,
but imagine my surprise when I opened the door to see Usagi standing
there in the rain. She told me she wanted to help...
{Let me be the one you call}
{If you jump, I'll break your fall}
{Lift you up and fly away with you into the night}
{If you need to fall apart}
{I can heal a broken heart}
{If you need to crash then crash and burn}
{You're not alone}
...I had no idea they all still kept in touch. Usagi explained
that none of them had seen me out of the temple for a long time so
they connected and called her. She took the time out of her duties
to come out here and talk to me. About two hours after Usagi had
arrived, Ami-chan showed up on my door step. It was almost as if
they had planned it. Ami smiled and told me of her loss of Ryo...
{When you feel all alone}
{And a loyal friend is hard to find}
{You're caught in a one way street}
{With the monsters in your head}
{When hopes and dreams are far away}
{And you feel like you can't face the day}
...Usagi smiled and nodded as she said that I was
welcome to call her anytime I needed to...
{Let me be the one you call}
{If you jump, I'll break your fall}
{Lift you up and fly away with you into the night}
{If you need to fall apart}
{I can mend a broken heart}
{If you need to crash then crash and burn}
{You're not alone}
...The next thing I know, Mako-chan is standing
beside me with my favorite dinner. She tells me the pain will
end and I will be stronger than before...
{Because there has always been heartache and pain}
{And when it's over you'll breathe again}
{You'll breathe again}
... Minako-chan kneels beside me and smiles warmly,
silently letting me know that she's there for me as well...
{When you feel all alone}
{And the world has turned it's back on you}
{Give me a moment please}
{To tame your wild wild heart}
...Usagi envelops me in one of her massive tackle/bear
hugs. I tell her that I'll never let anyone hurt her while I live
and silently thank her while sobbing on her shoulder. I make a
solemn promise that I'll always be there for her.
{Let me be the one you call}
{If you jump, I'll break your fall}
{Lift you up and fly away with you into the night}
{If you need to fall apart}
{I can mend a broken heart}
{If you need to crash then crash and burn}
{You're not alone}
