"Come on Usagi! Lets go already!" Minako cried as 
Usagi entered yet another store. She didn't find what 
she was looking for, and yet at the same time she 
didn't know what she was looking for. It had to 
be special...after all it was for Mamoru.

Chibi-usa followed at a steadier pace. Unwelcome 
thoughts had entered her head since reading that 
diary entry a few weeks ago. Thoughts of pain from 
her parents fighting, and thoughts that if she didn't 
get her parents together again soon, then she wouldn't 
be born. Chibi-usa looked in the window at the nearest 
store and saw the perfect way to get them back together. 
Quietly and quickly so to be unnoticed, she went into the 
store to execute her plan.

Entering the last store on the block, Usagi found 
the perfect gift. Lifting up the flawless crystal rose 
that was so delicate and fragile, she turned it this way 
and that, admiring the beauty that the crystal possessed. 
Usagi looked down and flinched at the price, yet knew the 
money was worth it. It was for her love after all. Usagi 
left the store with a feeling of satisfaction that made her as 
content as she could be after having her heart ripped in 
two, way to many times. Usagi continued walking down the street 
with an annoyed Minako and a small lady with a secret smile 
on her face.

"Come on Mamoru, open it!" Chibi-usa cried as Mamoru protested 
at opening the present.

"But Chibi-usa, it is not my birthday."

She rolled her eyes and put on her best pout, the one that 
always got her dad to say yes to everything. "But this isn't 
your REAL present. This is a tester present and the real 
one will come two days from now, on your birthday." Mamoru 
raised an eyebrow towards the little girl, but was quick to 
take the present once he saw that face. He could never say 
no to the puppy eyes. Mamoru was puzzled as he opened up 
the box and found a leather bound book that had, an 
intricately detailed rose, embossed on the cover.
Opening the book to see what was inside he found it blank.
Looking up and seeing her smile however kept him from asking 
if she knew that the pages were empty. As if almost reading 
his mind, Chibi-usa perked up to explain 
her gift.

"This is a dream journal Mamoru. What you do is write in it. 
I would call it a diary...but those are for girls, and your not 
a girl." It was all Mamoru could do to keep the laughter 
contained. "I want you to promise me that you will write in it
....starting tonight."

Mamoru looked into her eyes and found that he could not say no.

"I promise"
