Author's Notes:

Konnichiwa minna-san!!! Yep, it's the Midnight Dreamer, back with a fic for all of you. I can't believe that this is my third story ( I only started writing a month ago) but when you start, it seems that you can't stop. So, if you are thinking about writing a fic, JUST DO IT!!! Alright enough of that...I just want to thank everyone for their praise on "Astronomical". I want to especially thank Ci-chan, Usagi Bunny, Becky, Sereya, for being consistant supporters of my work. Another thanx to Lady Spring and Diana Moon for posting my stories! I think that I'm gonna make this another Alt. Reality, cause I find them easier to do, so just bear with me. By the way, if this sounds like your fic...please tell me so I can give credit where it is due.



Disclaimer: Since I just got off ICQ with Naoko-sama, I think that I should let you know, that Sailor Moon and all it's characters belong to her. She just wanted me to let you know, or else she will send attorneys knocking on your door! :-). Also, if this resembles your story in any way, I didn't know, I SWEAR!!!!




Now on with our feature presentation.......

As the sun rises over Tokyo, the city slowly comes to life. The birds start singing their song, mothers get up to prepare the family breakfasts and merchants open their shops to welcome early morning customers. As we journey into the Juuban district, we see sprinklers watering front lawns, and fathers in robes stepping out the door to get the morning paper. However, as we come to the Tsukino household, loud screaming can be heard from one of the upstairs bedrooms, which could only mean one thing......Tsukino Usagi has just woken up.


"Mom....why didn't you get me up?!?!??" Usagi whined. " Well after screaming your name for twenty minutes, I just took it as a lost cause." Ikuko said as she entered Usagi's room. "Now hurry up dear, so you can eat something before you go to school, because I don't want to get a call from Haruna-sensei complaining of you eating your lunch in class again, do you hear?" "Yes, mom. I'll be down in five minutes." Usagi grumbled as she made her way to the bathroom, uniform in hand. As promised, the blond tornado was downstairs in five minutes, gulping juice, kissing parents,grabbing toast,lunch, and bookbag and out the door in under thrity seconds. Once she hit the sidewalk,Usagi made her customary mad dash to Juuban High, praying that the late bell will malfunction for once.

As usual, Usagi was running her daily marathon to school,sidestepping this and that way, to avoid pedestrians as best as she could, when she hit something that was very solid but warm. *I can't believe that this is the sixth person that I've run into today* "Gomen nasai, sir...." Usagi started but was interrupted by the smooth voice of her arch nemesis, Chiba Mamoru. "No reason to apologize,Odango, because you're just going to run me over again tomorrow" Mamoru said, as he stood up, brushing himself off. Usagi could do nothing but seethe with anger at the one person who could leave her at a loss for words. *How is that someone so handsome, can be such a CONCEITED JERK?* Usagi thought for the millionth time since she has met him.

*When she scrunches up her face like that, she looks just like a rabbit...I wish she were MY rabbit...* Mamoru thought as he looked at the red-faced girl who was rising from the sidewalk, ready to do battle. "What are you looking at Mamoru-baka?" Usagi yelled. "I've been trying to figure that one out for awhile, Odango. Do you think that you can help me?" Mamoru shot back sarcastically. AUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! I don't have time for this right now....." Usagi yelled as she gathered up the rest of her things and raced towards her school. *Ahhhhh, now I can get on with my day. I always feel so much better after an argument with Odango.* Mamoru chuckled to himself as he made his way to his own school in Azabu.


Late Afternoon

"If I could just get just get my hands on Mamoru-baka, I would tear him limb from limb.....or at least try. It's all his fault that I got double detention today!" Usagi muttered as she made her way to the Crown Arcade. "I swear...if he could just get a personality transplant, he would be absoulutely perfect. Even I could fall in love with him..." Usagi said continuing her intimate conversation. "Now, who would fall in love with an Odango like you?" Mamoru said with a sly smile on his face as he sneaked up behind Usagi. * Like half the male population of Tokyo, you included, baka* Mamoru thought to himself. "Why do you care Mamoru-baka?!?!? Why can't you just be nice to me for once? What have I ever done to you?" Usagi whimpered, tears forming in her azure eyes. When Mamoru didn't answer, she turned around and quickly ran to the place where she felt the safest....home. As Mamoru watched the blond odangos disappear he finally answered Usagi's question, "You are the only one to sneak into my heart, but you will never know" Mamoru whispered sadly.


Later That Night

"Luna, I don't know why he matters so much. When everyone else teases me, I just laugh it off, but with him, I feel pain at the slightest insult." Usagi sighed. "You wanna know the funniest thing about this......I can't stop thinking what it would be like to talk to him.....actually get to know him without trading insults, but I don't think that will ever happen." Usagi concluded as she absentmindedly petted Luna. As Usagi prepared for bed, her last thought was it would be so nice if Mamoru and her could get along...
