Disclaimer: Tsukino Usagi, Seiya Kou, Taiki Kou, Yaten Kou, and any of the other various characters mentioned here do not belong to me, but to the extremely talented Naoko Takeuchi. Neither do Ooyama Anza, Katayama Sayuri, Ono Hikari, Okuyama Momoko, or the other various Seramyu actors and actresses, who belong to themselves. Can't stop a girl from dreaming, though. :P

A/N: This drabble is based heavily ... Okay, based entirely on the "Sailor Stars" Seramyu, though a couple of events are borrowed from its Kateiban, and I've tweaked a few scenes to satisy my fangirly needs. If you are a Sailor Moon fan, I urge you to watch the Sailor Moon musicals. You haven't lived till you've seen your favorite characters brought to life on stage. Seriously.

Also, 'Golden Magic' is a type of gardenia, which start off as pure white flowers that turn a deep golden yellow color as they grow older. And that's your daily trivia for the day! :)


It was entirely his idea to give her the bouquet.

Taiki and Yaten were completely surprised. Their leader was actually going out of his way to get the Odango-atama some flowers. It wasn't that the girl didn't deserve flowers - on the contrary, she seemed like a genuinely sweet girl, and they all knew how hard she was working (despite that incident with the short circuit and the shortcake). She also seemed like she needed a bit of cheering up, what with her boyfriend going off to America and all.

But when they gave out flowers, it was a completely different matter. It would be no big surprise if the poetic, gallant Taiki gave a bouquet of flowers to whichever lovely lady presented herself, and Yaten was always carrying that rose around with him anyway (he insisted that the fans loved it, as it added to his 'cute boy' appeal).

But Seiya, ever focused-on-finding-the-Princess Seiya, would rather toss a confident, heart-throbbing smirk and a couple of autographed items than to bother with procuring a bouquet for the average fangirl.

Then again, Tsukino Usagi wasn't exactly your average fangirl.

He had told them about what had happened when he touched the girl on the rooftop the other day. The aura of a star shone brightly, powerfully in her. It was a miracle that Galaxia and her minions hadn't discovered her yet, let alone stolen her Star Seed. Certainly, there was more to Tsukino Usagi than just your average high school student. Perhaps it was her silly, but genuinely open and friendly nature, or her essential resemblance to their missing Princess, but something about her had touched them.

And by the looks of things, she had touched Seiya Kou on a whole new level.

The dark-haired idol grinned as he watched her run around happily, waving at the crowd and completely exhilarated from the thrill of the performance. She had been a nervous wreck at the start, but her performance was passionate and energetic, which thrilled the crowd almost as much as the Three Lights' number.

Seiya shot her a soft, proud smile before moving over to the young woman that held the bouquet. Taiki and Yaten went to congratulate the girl as he took the flowers from the woman and waited for his turn.

Taiki pointed over to him, and he took it as his cue. He walked towards her, extending the bouquet and watching her eyes light up with happiness. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Taiki raise his brows at his choice of flowers, and he fought to keep the blush from his face. Of course Taiki would know what the flowers meant - it was from his book, after all, that he got the idea.

Gardenias as gold as her hair, tucked artistically against each other in a neat bunch. The flowers represented purity and feminine grace, but most of all, they symbolized a secret love.

"For a wonderful performance," he said calmly, though his heart pounded harder than it had pounded after any of their concerts. He kept his hand steady as she reached for the gardenias. A delighted smile touched her lips, and as she stood under the stage lights, her hair slightly frazzled and her face flushed from the performance, Seiya thought she had never looked more beautiful.

Usagi moved closer, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek. "Thank you," she whispered breathlessly, her blue eyes meeting his. She held the gaze meaningfully, her smile growing just a bit wider, and Seiya wondered if she knew what the flowers meant. At a loss of words, he merely nodded, waiting for her to accept the bouquet.

Suddenly, a man shouted, and one of the Solar System's Sailor Senshi - Uranus? - ran out onto the stage, snatching the bouquet and throwing it away. Within a matter of seconds, the flower arrangement had exploded, and everyone flew into a panic. Usagi's friends ran out to her, asking what was going on and if she was all right.

Yet somehow, even with Galaxia's minions taking over the stage and causing general chaos, Seiya couldn't seem to stop staring at the remains of the bouquet. The paper was completely burned through, and the gardenias were charred beyond recognition. Only the few yellow petals scattered sadly around the stage remained of the beautiful arrangement.

Seiya stared at the ominous petals, and felt sick to his stomach.
