~*Birthday countdown...One more day*~

Mamoru looked up from the journal, his mind blank.
What was he supposed to write about? Or rather 
whom? With that thought, Mamoru started writing and 
could not stop until he got it all off his chest.

Chibi-usa, who was watching from a side window smiled 
happily. Hopefully he was writing about Usagi and all 
would be well once more.

^Next day...Birthday Day!!!^

Upon hearing a knock, Mamoru got up from where he was 
sitting and went to answer the door. Fearing it was 
Usagi, he took it slow....and was relieved to see that 
it was only Chibi-usa. "So little one" he said after 
he opened the door. "Did you bring the present??"

Chibi-usa looked up at Mamoru and tried to contain her smile. 
"Not yet....later."

Mamoru could not help but amuse the child, for she was so 
sweet and cute. "But I want it now."

Chibi-usa knew the game he played, and somehow knew how to 
play it as well. "Soon, and believe me it is worth the wait."

Suddenly a knock could be heard and Mamoru got up to answer 
it. Opening the door he realized that he shouldn't have. 
There stood Usagi with a brightly colored box.

"Usagi, what are you doing here?"

Usagi looked up at her Mamo-chan and tried to keep the tears 
at bay. She could do this, she knew she could. "I brought you 
your present." Usagi leaned over to hand it to him, but Mamoru 
flinched away, making the tears Usagi tried so hard to keep back, 
fall. Gently placing the box on the nearby table, Usagi left. 
She didn't look back, but if she had she would have seen the 
threat of tears in Mamoru's eyes as well.

He picked up the box and studied it carefully. It was poorly 
wrapped, but perfect in his eyes. He knew that Usagi had tried, 
and put much love and effort in it. Hey, it might even have taken 
her hours. A mental picture of Usagi all wrapped up in tape made 
him smile, but the memory that she was no longer his, tore at 
his heart once more and took away the fleeting warmth.

Not wanting to wait any longer he took the gift into the living room. 
Looking around for Chibi-usa and not finding her, he sat on the 
couch and began to unwrap the poorly wrapped gift. A gasp escaped 
him as he removed the flawless crystal from its velvet lined case. 
Tears threatened once more as he held the rose, which was cool to his 
touch. There was so much feeling in this gift that it took all the 
effort he possessed not to go out and catch up to Usagi. He loved her 
with all of his heart and this pained him beyond measure.

Mamoru was so involved in his thoughts that he did not see Chibi-usa 
sneak out, and he did not notice the journal was missing from its place 
beside the bed.
