The One That Got Away

Oct 24, 2009 22:23

Tsukino Usagi is out of breath, doubled over with her hands on her knees. Despite that, she's staring down the street which is suddenly devoid of people. "Nexus!" she exclaims, straightening and turning this way and that, frantically. "No! I have to get back ( Read more... )

Does a Prince Endymion count, all clad in white and gold? He stares at Usagi in mingled surprise and consternation, but he's getting used to the state he often sees her alternates in.

"Watch where you're going," he warns. "You'll trip and fall again."

She whirls around so fast to see the owner of that voice that she nearly does trip. She stares in silence a moment.

"King Endymion?!" she cries then, running towards him. "Endymion!"

That outfit, what was it? She felt like she had seen it before. But before she can think about it, she's thrown herself at the prince for a big, tight hug. And she's not letting go anytime soon if she gets a hold of him.

Blink. Even from the princess he's not used to that emotionality, or at least such loud displays of it. He's too stunned to avoid it, and soon finds himself pushed slightly backward by the force of one Tsukino Usagi barreling into his arms.

"Princess? Did something happen?"

She's still busy hugging him tight. Tears are in her eyes, and in the silence they begin to slip down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry," she murmurs quietly, and sniffles. "I know it's selfish, doing this. But, even if it's like that between you and Queen Beryl, just, for a moment, I wanted to hold you again. I'm glad you're okay!" She steps back, rubbing her eyes. "I really am!"

There's Ami, blue hair and all, narrowing down the possible worlds at least somewhat.

"Tsukino-san? Are you alright?" She keeps her calm, but hurries towards Usagi's side.

Usagi turns, panic recalled entirely now. "Ami-chan!" she exclaims, pointing off down the empty street. "I saw him! King Endymion! I don't know how, but he was there! I'm sure of it! Did you see him?!"

She doesn't even notice yet that she's been called Tsukino-san.

"King Endymion?" Strange, the name seems almost familiar. But she's sure she's never heard it before.

"Who?" Ami gives Usagi a quick, quizzical look but soon assures herself the other girl is alright.

"Eh? Ami-chan, you don--"

...Oh. "Ahh--you must be a different Ami-chan! I'm sorry." She's turning an interesting shade of red. This Ami must think she's out of her mind. "King Endymion," she repeats, as if that will remind Ami.

Blink.

"Whoa. You must be one of my alternates, right?" She gives a cheeky grin: "Tsukino Usagi, the original, is here! Tada!"

Nope, she hasn't noticed Usagi's (obvious) distress yet.

Stare. "You saw him, right!? Did you see him? King Endymion--he was just there! Did you see?!" She's pointing down that empty road a little frantically.

Stare.

"You're from the future? But you still look like me!" I.e., not like the beautiful and graceful neo-queen.

darkingdom_moon October 25 2009, 03:22:16 UTC
"Eh? The future? Maybe. I'm fifteen. But you don't look younger than me."

No, she has no idea about the 30th century yet.

Another of his alternates, he's not sure which she is though, so he avoids using Nee-chan.

"Usagi-chan? What's wrong?"

"King Endymion! I just saw him go that way!" She points, then turns back to her alternate, and stops, still pointing. She stares. "...Do I know you?" she asks. She's sure she's seen him somewhere before...

"I'm Usagi Tsukino!" He says with a polite bow. "Sorry, I mix up the alternates I know and don't know."

"EEHHH?! You're--but I'm--you're a guy!"

If she hadn't been mildly flipping out about Endymion, she might've thought she looks kind of cute as a guy.

"Is something wrong?" It was Masako this time, who sees Usagi running around. It was still a bit odd to see a female version of her boyfriend, but this was the nexus - Anything could happen.

"Do you need help?"

Usagi isn't entirely frantic enough to realize she doesn't know this person. "I-I'm sorry, I'm all right." She bows politely. "I just saw someone I thought I knew, that's all!" Smile smile.

"You sure, Usagi-chan?" The name slips out, but it's just a habit with her nowadays. "Someone you knew?"

"Uh, well, uh! S-someone I know of, anyway. I mean," she laughs nervously, then doubletakes. "Eh? How do you know my name?"
