Nothing to say, really, except check out my other fic "Christmas Magic"!
Please, guys? I admit, it isn't very good, but if you want a Christmas fic,
I've given you a recommendation! Pretty please?

Oh, by the way, I'm not going to continue Locker Love until Christmas Magic
is finished. So, unless I happen to have some free time, don't expect another
chapter. Gomen, minna.

Please email!

Moving on...

~*~*~*~*

It was afterschool, and I was at my locker. Mamoru had soccer practice, (He
made the school soccer team! Yay!) so I was just going to walk home. As I 
opened my locker, a slip of paper fell out. I picked it up. It said:

Dearest Tsukino Usagi,

	I think I have a very big crush on you. Your eyes attract me like
crystal orbs, which make you beautiful, with your spun golden hair. I am
blessed to have you in my life.

						Your Secret Admirer

I blinked. I blinked again.

Kami.

I reread the peice of paper several times, its contents amazing me to no end. 

Someone... has a big crush... on me?

It didn't really seem possible to me, from my point of view. After all, I was
just your average teenager, right? (AN: *nods head wisely* O Wise One says, 
no such thing as average.) No one would notice me in this school full of 
prettier, popular, and more special people!

I'm definitely not beautiful. I know a lot of girls with blonde hair and 
blue eyes. Minako, for example. I'm no supermodel or anything. I mean, come
on, no one's even asked me out yet, and it's already been a couple of months.

I was shocked. I was surprised. I was awestruck. I was stunned. (AN: OK, 
enough showing off my vocab...) Soemone liked me? I was flattered, to say 
the least. It was touching, though, to know someone cared for you. I felt
all warm and fuzzy inside. Demo, I was still unsure and suspicious about it.

I packed up my stuff, still clutching the note in a death grip. I walked out
of the school, dazed, when Mako came up to me.

"Konnichiwa, Usagi-chan!" she said cheerfully, giving a small wave. 

No response.

"Usagi-chan?" she looked at me. "Hellooooo?" She waved a hand in my face. 
"Usagi!" she said loudly. She snapped her fingers in my face. "USAGI!"

"Huh?" I asked, waking up from my trance. "Nani? Oh, konnichiwa, Mako-chan.
When did you get here?" I asked in a feathery voice. 

During my little "reverie", I had begun to warm up to the idea. After all, it
~was~ pretty romantic for a guy to like me so much that he'd leave me a 
secret admirer note. It was very sweet. 

I felt my treasured note being swiped from my hold. I started. "Hey!" I 
exclaimed as I noticed Mako reading it, a smile forming on her face as she
read it.

"'Your Secret Admirer'." Mako finished, looking up at me with a sly grin.
"Well, well, Usagi, it looks like you've got a secret boyfriend!"

"He isn't my boyfriend!" I said angrily, taking my note back. 

Mako gave me knowing wink. "I told ya so! Didn't I tell you? With the looks
you've got, boys will be lining up just to get you a napkin at lunch!"

I blushed a flmaing crimson. "Iie, no such thing! And what do you mean by the
looks I've got?" I demanded.

She gave me a strange look. "Girl, have you checked a mirror lately? You're
the prettiest girl I know! The hottest in school!"

"Uh huh." I said sarcastically. "Then how come no guy has asked me out yet?"

She waved her hand slightly. "Guys at our school are always too chicken to
ask a really pretty girl out! It takes one to break the ice! Once this gets
around school, guys will-"

"OH, NO YOU DON'T!" I yelled, waving a finger in her face. "Uh uh. No way.
Iie. Nada. Zip. Zero. No one is going to know about this!"

She smirked evilly at me. "Just watch me." was her answer.

"Mako..." I said in a threatening voice.

She strolled along, whistling a cheery tune.

"DON'T tell anyone, Mako!"

Whistle.

"Onegai?"

She stopped. "I'm doing a favor for you, Usagi-chan. You'll thank me after
a million guys ask you out."

"Iie! I don't WANT any guys asking me out! I ALREADY HAVE MY SIGHTS SET ON 
ONE!!!" I shouted.

Mako's eyes widened. So did mine.

'Uh... I didn't just say that, did I?'

Mako grinned mischeiviously. "Spill, girl, spill."

"NO WAY! You'll ahve it around Tokyo faster than I can say Moon Prism Power
Make-Up. (AN: Which actually takes a long time...) I'm telling you nothin'."

"Onegai?" she pleaded in a whiny voice.

"Iie, Mako." I said firmly.

"Fine," she grumbled. "Don't tell your best friend who you like, some best 
friend."

"Fine, tell everyone your best friend's secret. Some best friend." I shot 
back.

Mako's cheeks colored. "Well, well," she sputtered. "I've never done that
before!"

"Yeah," I said. "Of COURSE you haven't."

"Girl, don't use that tone of voice with moi."

"Well," I said, my nose in the air. "Either way, I'm not telling you." 

"Onegai?" she said with big, innocent (*cough*) eyes.

"Iie." I said simply.

"ONEGAI?" she whined.

"Iie, iie, iie." I crossed my arms.

"You're so MEAN!" she cried.

"Why is Usagi-chan so mean?" Ami soft voice came from behind us.

"Oh!" Mako said, an evil glint in her eyes. "Ami-chan! Konnichiwa!"

"Konnichiwa, Mako..." Ami said, giving Mako a wary look at Mako's sudden 
devious look.

"Guess what, Ami?" Mako asked in a weird voice.

"Nani?" 

I slowly began to understand what Mako was attempting. 'Uh oh..' I thought.

"USAGI-CHAN has a crush, but she won't tell us!"

Ami gasped excitedly. She grabbed my hand. "You have a crush, Usagi-chan?"

"H...Hai..."

"Oh, how KAWAII!" she squealed. I gave her a strange look. "That's so 
ROMANTIC!"

"..." was my reply. Mako's was similar.

"Nani?" Ami asked. 

"I... never knew you were the romantic type, Ami-chan..." Mako said slowly.

"Oh, are you kidding?!" she exclaimed. "I LOVE mush and love and romance...
and... etc. etc. etc." (-_-;)

"I never would've guessed!" I declared, putting my hands on my hips.

Ami blushed, then smiled. "Well, now you know."

"Demo... either way, I won't tell anyone!" I said.

Both Ami and Mako's mouths dropped open. "No fair!" they both cried out.

I shrugged, smiling to myself. "Too bad."

"Well!" Mako huffed, crossing her arms. "How rude!"

"Too bad," I said again.

Ami stayed silent. 
~*~*~*~*

I layed in my bed, after waking up from the romantic dream again. I was 
thinking about the note I got today. It was kind of corny, (AN: I'm not good 
at mush!) but sweet and flattering at the same time. 

I wish I knew who it was...

I mentally listed possible guys in my classes that could have given me the
note.

Hmm, there's that Umino guy. I KNOW he has a crush me, but I don't think he
would be so sweet. He's kind of a dork, but he's OK. Kind of a friend. But, 
he's not exactly who I'd expect to send me a secret admirer note. So he's
pretty much out of the question.

Well, there's also that boy Kamijuski. He's cute, but... Well, he's that kind
of guy who's in love with himself. So... Naah.

And there's Komeifaya. He's a serious guy, and he's into poetry and stuff. He
might be the one, but he is one of those poets who don't notice things around 
himself. So, scratch that off the list.

I went over a few more, although all of them weren't really possibilities.
Then, I thought of Mamoru.

It didn't even occur to me that Mamoru would be a possibility. He didn't even
strike my mind. Demo, now that I had thought of it, it made me really hope
that it was my Mamo-chan. But, I didn't want to get my hopes up, so I 
reluctantly scratched him out, too.

Great. Now I'm back to square one. *sigh* 

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! 

"Usagi..." Luna mumbled sleepily. "Turn off the alarm clock. Get some more 
sleep."

I quickly pushed the blinking orange light. "Moonie here." I said softly.

"Usagi!" Minako said. "You're needed at the Hiwaka Jinja! Hurry up and-"

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" I said. I clicked the button off, and woke Luna up.
"Luna," I said, shaking her slightly. "I've got a battle to get to, OK?"

"Sure thing, Usagi." she said drowsily with her eyes closed. 

At her words, I raced off to meet the senshi at Rei's home.
~*~*~*~*

In my fuku, I scoped out the scene. (AN: Mmm... Impressive...) The senshi 
were fighting furiously, and it had quite an effect. The youma, which 
appeared to be some sort of creepy fortune teller thingy, was covered with
burn marks, and her robes were frozen with ice. Her hair was sticking
straight up, but I'm not sure if it was because of Jupiter's thunder attacks
or if it was natural. 

I stepped in, with my trademark speech. "How dare you try to harm this jinja?
This is a place where people can enjoy the view of a cherry blossom path, a
water fountain's beauty, or a prayer. I am the Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon!
In the name of the moon, I shall punish you!"

"Hello," the youma said in a deep, cool voice. "I believe I haven't
introduced myself yet. I am Komadoi, the great preistess of the Black Moon."

"Yeah?" Sailor Mars shouted. "Well, you may be a priestess, but an evil one
at that! Good defeats evil, as we will defeat you!"

"Hmph," the youma said cooly. "You just enjoy sit back and enjoy the show." 
Komadoi closed her eyes. She began to glow black. She muttered some words
under her breath, and her eyes flew open with a sickly glance. She shouted
something that was incomprehensible to me, and all of a sudden, I felt myself
being lifted into the air. 

"AAAHHH!" I screamed. "What's going on?!"

"Sailor Moon!" Mars called up, sounding a little frightened. "What are you
doing?"

"Nani?!" I shrieked. "You THINK I'd do something like THIS to myself?!"

Mercury pulled out her mini computer and began scanning the situation. She
yelled up to me, "Sailor Moon! It appears that Komadoi is controlling your
body! I can't do anything!"

"Yeah, but I can." Rei said. She closed her eyes and pulled out an ofuda. 
"Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen. Aku ryou tai san!" She 
threw the ofuda to Komadoi, and the youma was hit. It stood frozen by the 
ofuda. 

I felt myself falling. Komadoi's concentration had been broken, so her 
control over me was over, fortunately. 

Demo, underneath was hard concrete.

I shut my eyes tightly, waiting to feel the hard ground hit me...
