********************************
Ami was walking down the road. It was rather chilly that night. The
lampposts light up the path and the stars ignite the black veil that
covers the clear sky. There is no one on the road except her� and the
soft tunes made by the crickets that rang in the air. Then, she stopped.
Time seemed to freeze around her and the silence was deafening and her
heart was aching for something emerged within her that rends her heart
with a sharp blade. There, was a small path leading to a secret place.
"Should I go or not?" thought Ami to herself.
It seemed like thousands of seasons had passed when she finally made her
choice. Ami walked on the path and made a few turns. As she ambled she
caught sweet scents of the forest and they healed the twinge in her
heart. Then there she was, at the lake in the small forest. She could
feel the soft wind blowing at her face. Strings of sweet memories wove
themselves in her mind. The memories, woven like a web, a very complex
structure feel as if all had happened yesterday. Ami went near the lake
and took off her shoes and dipped her feet in the cold water. She looked
around her, admiring the view and the moon's image on the water. Vivid
and clear was the moon, too beautiful for words to describe. Ami who was
rapt in the recollection of the memories thought of how six of them used
to hang out at the place.
A chuckle escaped her lips when she remembered at how Usagi and Rei used
to quarrel at each other all the time, with Chibiusa making fun of Usagi
and Usagi kept eating non-stop stuffing food in her mouth one after
another. "Those were the times," she said silently, her chin on her
chest. Their dreams, which seemed impossible to grasp are now a reality.
Ami is a successful doctor, Rei is an idol to most of the teenage girls,
Usagi is with Mamoru, Makoto� haven't heard any news from her and Minako
is an actress. Hot tears, touched by the moonlight, forming their own
artificial light, rolled down Ami's cheeks when she thought of Urawa.
He's gone and she's alone now with nothing but painful memories of him.
No one is there to comfort her anymore and no one to say 'I love you'.
"Urawa� why did you have to go?" Ami can't accept the fact that he is
gone and this adds to the sorrow that she already felt. She lay on the
moist ground looking up into the clear sky, and the smell of the soft
grass soothed her mind. The brightest star seemed to smile down on her,
radiating its light� illuminating her heart. Ami closed her eyes wishing
to find her friends beside her when she wakes up, not letting them go.
She hopes that all that had happened was naught but a dream and she will
find not only her friends beside her, but the one who once had showered
her with love too.
