Chapter One - A Brilliant Idea

Mamoru had an idea, a brilliant idea. He had spent the last week thinking of a birthday present for his beloved Usako. It would have to be a memorable gift that would show all his love for her. Usagi deserved this and much more.

So he set up everything with the guys and the surprise would take place in the Crown Arcade, a very familiar and nostalgic place among all of them. When they all became acquainted with Mamoru's plan, they immediately volunteered to assist him in whatever he might need. The plan involved Jadeite, Zoisite, Kunzite, Nephrite, Motoki and, of course, the girls. After the battle with Galaxia, Endymion's past generals returned to earth in order to live a normal life and build their future alongside with the Inner Senshi. Life was relatively calm and enjoyable and finally, there was peace in their ordinary lives. However, Mamoru's plan was taken by surprise by everyone. He was a romantic guy but not the type to display or show it in public. But one thing was for sure: Not even in Usagi's dreams, she could imagine a surprise from her Mamo-chan.

Several weeks went by and the big day finally arrived: The birthday of Usagi Tsukino. Motoki closed the Crown Arcade that day, shutting down all windows to avoid prying eyes. At the door, a paper indicated that they'll reopen tomorrow because today, a private event would be taking place.

Rei and Jadeite's Apartment

The girls gathered in Rei and Jadeite's apartment, preparing for the party. With Usagi, it was agreed to have a party at the Crown Arcade. This is all Usagi knew, no more details given. Even Reika, Motoki's girlfriend, had joined the group.

Rei's living room was a complete mess: clothes, shoes, makeup, and many other things were scattered on the floor. All attentions were focused on Usagi as this was her day and she needed to knock Mamoru out of his shoes!

Minako had revealed previously to Ami, Makoto, Rei and Reika her suspicions for this day: Very probably Mamoru would finally propose to Usagi. Mamoru never said anything about it but for Minako, his plan was hiding something more. It makes sense, Mamoru was a shy and reserved guy, 'why would he come up with such a plan without a very good motive?' Everyone agreed with Minako and decided to join their efforts to make this day memorable for both Mamoru and Usagi. 'Perfect!'

"Rei! OUCH! It hurts!" Usagi complained while Rei was curling her hair. Usagi decided to change her hairstyle and leave the hair loose without her usual style.

"Don't complain Usagi-chan! In the end, you'll be thanking me! "

"Wow. What is happening with your temper Rei-chan? Jadeite has done wonders with you!" Usagi said with a devilish laugh.

"Shut up baka Usagi! Let's finish!"

After her hair was done, Minako entered the room with a dress and Usagi's mouth dropped open.

"Minako-chan, don't you think that's too much? I know it's a party but I never wore such revealing dress before, it's…"

"Usagi-chan, you're thinking too much! Look, it's breathtaking, ne? Oh! Can you imagine when Mamoru-san sees you with it! OMG! His jaw will hit the floor! I bet he'll not be able to take his hands off you! "

"MINA!" Usagi said, furiously blushing.

"Come on Usagi-chan, go on and try the dress!" Usagi took the dress and went to the bathroom to change. Once she came back to the living room again, all eyes landed on her, or rather, in her dress. The dress was dark blue with short sleeves and very short, by the middle of the thigh, to show her long and beautiful legs. On the back, it had a "V" cut to the bottom of her back. In the front, the neckline was round but tight enough to bring out her chest, leaving much to the imagination. The dress was stuck to her body like a second skin, highlighting every curve of her body, revealing a very sexy Usagi. To complete the set, Usagi put high heel silver sandals, and a small pink flower casting hair aside, showing a bit of her neck.

Ami's face was red like a tomato and the silence remained among the others, unable to say anything. Reika decides to break the silence.

"Usagi-chan, you're GORGEOUS!" Usagi laughed shyly. She still thought her outfit was a little bit excessive. Makoto felt Usagi's uneasiness and approached her with a coat in the arms.

"Usagi-chan, wear this long coat. I am sure will make you feel more comfortable especially when walking outside, then, you can take it off inside the Arcade." Makoto winked to Usagi.

"Thank you Mako-chan!"

"Yeah! Tonight will be a night to remember!" Minako enthusiastically. They're all about to find out how right Minako words were.
