Upon the Moonlit Sky
By Nitemare Angel
Summary: Two best friends spend the night together just talking.
The skies of Tokyo glistened, and two teens just laid on the roof of one of the many houses in Minato. The district was a bit more idle when the moon had taken the place of the sun. And even so, the sky was still beautiful, even with Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo fully lit.
“Doesn’t the sky look like it’s full of tears?” A girl asked, sitting by her window with a brush in hand staring up at the thousands of stars in the night sky, “And they’re all just glistening…”
“I think it looks more like gems,” A second girl noted, with another brush, seeming to sit on the bed while she studied the other girl. The first one stuck her tongue out at her friend.
“That’s because jewelry is so common for you, Naru-chan!” The first girl giggled, and Naru laughed also.
“I know, Usagi-chan! My mom has such a cool job being able to sell such pretty jewels!” Naru continued to giggle, but Usagi sighed, looking back out the window.
“One day I wanna get married, and wear a pretty ring…”
“Well, you could wear a diamond on your finger! It’ll look like a star!” Naru moved toward the edge of the bed, but Usagi didn’t move.
“Yeah….I could wear a star…a tear of the sky…” She whispered, almost lost in her thoughts.
“But what about the moon?” Naru seemed to ask, leading Usagi to snap out of her trance, turning to Naru.
“What about it?” She seemed confused, unable to comprehend what she was talking about.
“Well, the moon could look like a broach… or a pearl!” Naru squealed, “You could wear a broach with a crescent moon just like Sailor V! And it would be made of mother of pearl, so that it looks so sliver and glistens!”
“And then it could have rubies and emeralds, and sapphires, and gold on it!” Usagi smiled, imagining the broach in her mind.
“And then a pink pearl in the middle1” The two girls seemed to sigh in wonder, their fantasy of the gem seemed like merely a dream.
“Yeah…I want a broach just like that….” Usagi whispered, “And a ring to match…”
“But it would be so expensive!” Naru stated, “Maybe a few-”
“My boyfriend will buy it for me!” Usagi nodded, “And he’ll be smart and rich and attractive, and-”
“Just like a prince charming!” The two said together, giggling when they realized that they were speaking in unison. And yet for the rest of the night, neither spoke again.
