And the second one for tonight. There’s actually one between the one I posted earlier and this one, but it’s not all that essential and I’m tweaking it to make it more worthy of actually being part of this universe.<\/p>\n

She has made a lot of changes over the last few months, but she hasn’t really taken the time to look at herself to\u00a0catalog them. In all honesty, she had been afraid to; afraid that she would be able to see the sadness and loneliness and heartbreak. That she would never be able to move on past the part of her soul that had been Mamoru and Chibi-Usa and everything that should have been.<\/p>\n That was before she found out that she had jumped to conclusions. After that, she couldn’t look at herself because she knew that the guilt eating away at her insides would show on her face. She had felt so bad about starting to get on with her life over something so stupid<\/em>, and then worse when she realized she couldn’t go back to the way she had been.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n She tugs on a strand of hair and scowls at her reflection. The hair that frames her face is now cherry red, and she has taken her colored contacts out. The only glimpse of the girl she’d seen in the mirror for a decade is in the shape of her face; there is nothing there that looks of Serenity.\u00a0<\/p>\n Like this, she resembles Beryl more than her past self, and it is more than a little unnerving. It makes her skin crawl. So she can’t be blamed for the shriek when another face appears in the mirror over her shoulder.<\/p>\n The Trickster laughs uproariously as he dodges out from under her flailing arms. “Oh I dunno babe. I think you’d make a smoking hot Jessica Rabbit like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n Before she has a chance to ask just what the hell he thinks he’s doing in her dorm room, Brady’s voice comes from the doorway. “Sorry Rabbit, this guy just kinda charged past me into th— holy hell what happened to your hair?”<\/p>\n “It’s temporary,” she insists, turning back to her mirror to try and find at least something to enjoy from the change. She can’t. “I don’t like it.”<\/p>\n “Oh c’mon, cousin! Live a little!” her unwanted guest actually has the balls to grin at her, and so she ignores him out of sheer spite.<\/p>\n “You guys are cousins?” Brady doesn’t recall Usagi mentioning any American relatives at any point. This strikes him as odd, considering he’d gotten quite the earful about a spontaneously appearing cousin a few years back, and the fanatical search into all her relatives that had followed.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Distantly,” his smile is wide and innocent. “By marriage. Name’s Ray. You are…?”<\/p>\n “Tyson Brady.” And just like that, Gabriel has slipped himself back into her life. The Princess scowls at him, but he ignores it with the ease of long practice.<\/p>\n “I was being serious about that Jessica Rabbit thing, Usa.”<\/p>\n Given the way that Brady is tilting her head, she knows that he’s going to agree even before he says the words. “You know, Ray’s right. You gotta stay red until at least<\/em>\u00a0Halloween. It even fits with your name.”<\/p>\n Usagi stares blankly at the pair for a long moment, before she covers her face with one hand. “I don’t even know who Jessica Rabbit is<\/em>.”<\/p>\n The almost vicious smile on Gabriel’s face says quite plainly that that doesn’t actually matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" And the second one for tonight.
