It Might Come True Chapter 5: The Wedding By Tisha Usagi sat in the front row on the groom's side looking at her brother. He had a wide smile stretched across his face and he looked very much in love. Usagi couldn't help but be jealous. She never expected that her little brother would get married before her. It was like he was outdoing her or something. He met her eyes and Usagi immediately looked away, not wanting him to see the water starting to build up there. When the music started Usagi was glad that she got to face away from him as she stood up and turned to see the wedding party walking down the aisle. Usagi only recognized a few of the people. Some of the ushers were her cousins or Shingo's friends and Rei was Ran's maid of honor. Ran looked absolutely gorgeous in a simple white dress of silk with her long blond hair piled into a bun on top of her head. Usagi tried to picture herself being a bride, but she found herself picturing Mamoru as the groom. She had to get him from her mind. It had been a whole week since she had seen him last, the day he had come to her apartment. She had the feeling he was avoiding her, but then again she was actually avoiding him. She knew that it had been a huge mistake to lie to him, even if he was involved with someone else. But it was too late to change that now, so she had to live with it. She did want to be friends with him, but she didn't think she could face him for a while longer. The ceremony was beautiful and she looked over at her mom once to see her looking very proud. Usagi wanted her mom to look that proud of her. It had always been like this. If Usagi was excited about getting an 80 on her test, Shingo had scored 100 and made hers look stupid. When she opened her own store, Shingo graduated with honors. She knew he didn't try to do it, but it was just unfair that things always worked out that way. She hoped she could be the first to do something in the family. Maybe she could manage to win the lottery on the same day that Ran announced she was pregnant. That was another thing, too. Now Shingo and Ran would probably have a baby before her. She suddenly realized that people were standing up. She hadn't even noticed that it was over. She had picked up her own car from her parents' house so she drove herself and Rei to the reception. She sat at a table with Rei and a bunch of people she didn't know. Rei was out dancing with someone so she sat alone, watching her brother dance with his new bride. Her mom sat down next to her but Usagi just kept watching the newlyweds. "They're a cute couple, aren't they?" Usagi looked at her mom and nodded. "I guess so." "Are you okay? Is it that guy?" Usagi sighed and didn't answer. "Okay, I said I wouldn't pry anymore. But I just remember when you were little and you would always talk about getting married. You just haven't looked very happy lately." Usagi just finally decided she might as well tell her mom the whole story about Mamoru, but before she even started she saw him on the other side of the room. Usagi could feel her heart pounding in her chest. She looked at her mom, who had apparently seen him come in. "Go ahead." *Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me* *Transcending space and time* *And I was rendered still* *There were no words for me to find at all* *As I stood there beside myself* *I could see you and no one else* Usagi walked through all of the dancing couples and over to where Mamoru stood. He was wearing a black tuxedo that he looked amazing in. "What are you doing here?" She didn't mean to sound rude but when she repeated the words in her head she realized that it had sounded a little bit rude. *When I saw you* *When I saw you* *I could not breathe, I fell so deep* *When I saw you* *When I saw you* *I'd never be, I'd never be the same* "I know I wasn't invited but I wanted to see you. I stopped by the store and Makoto told me where you were." Usagi examined his clothing, wondering how he was all dressed up if he had just dropped by the store. Did he rent a tux just to crash her brother's wedding and see her? Usagi looked to the table she had been sitting at to find her mother watching them. "Why don't we go out in the hall?" Mamoru fallowed her into the hall and turned to face her. Usagi waited, feeling nervous and in love. "I broke up with Hana. She moved out on Thursday." Usagi swallowed. The news made her heart jump, but what was she supposed to say? "Why did you do that?" Mamoru shrugged and smiled. "I realized I was in love with someone else." *Only once in a lifetime love rushes in* *Changing you with the tide* *And dawn's ribbon of light* *Bursts through the dark* *Wakening you inside* *And I thought it was all untrue* *Until there all at once I knew* Usagi couldn't stop the smile that grew across her face. "Really? Tell me about this other girl." "Well she is the sweetest person you could ever meet, and the most beautiful woman alive. She could manage to capture your heart in a matter of days. Even though she doesn't feel the same way about me I think I can change her mind." Usagi smiled wider, if it was possible, and she could feel happy tears coming to her eyes. "Oh Mamo-chan," she watched him smile when she used the name she had come up with weeks ago. "I lied. I lied to you. I love you too." She could tell that he was shocked to hear that she loved him back; he had obviously believed her when he came to her apartment. "Usako." She laughed at the fact that he had a nickname for her too. He leaned down to kiss her and this time Usagi didn't have to feel guilty about kissing him back. She felt completely at home and safe in his arms. It was the strangest feeling. All at once she understood love. She knew what her brother was feeling for Ran. It didn't even matter that he had found love first, as long as she had it too. *When I saw you* *When I saw you* *I could not breathe, I fell so deep* *When I saw you* *When I saw you* *I'd never be, I'd never be the same* "Care to dance?" Mamoru asked her. Usagi nodded and let him lead her back into the room and onto the dance floor. Usagi looked to her table to find both her mom and Rei watching her and smiling. She smiled back before laying her head on Mamoru's chest as they danced. It just felt so perfect and she never wanted it to end. But then she realized that it wouldn't end. They could be together forever. *With no beginning and* *Without an end* *You are the one for me* *It's evident* *And your eyes told me so* *Your eyes let me know* *When I saw you* *When I saw you* *I could not breathe, I fell so deep* *When I saw you* *When I saw you* *I'd never be, I'd never be the same* To be continued... Author's Notes: I know it seems like the end, but there'll be one more little chapter. This song was by Mariah Carey and it's called "When I Saw You".
