"Usagi-chan! Let's go!"
Usagi looked out her window and stared down at Minako and Makoto. "I'll be right down,
minna!"
Usagi ran out the door five minutes later. "Gomen. My alarm didn't go off."
"Are you sure of that? Or did you just sleep through it?" Makoto looked at Usagi.
Usagi scratched her head. "I'm not sure."
"Oh well." Minako looked at the sidewalk. "Second year of high school already. Yet, it seems
like yesterday we all fought Galaxia." She sighed.
"You miss them, too?" Makoto looked at Minako. Minako nodded. "I wish they would visit. We
told them they could. But they're probably too busy searching for a new place to live or
trying to recover what is left of their planet."
Suddenly, a man came up behind Usagi and grabbed her. She screamed while the other girls
were also grabbed.
"Let me go!" Usagi kicked and screamed at the mysterious man. Makoto and Minako were also
struggling.
"Odango... ouch! Stop... You're... ouch! Hurting me... " Usagi stopped as well as Minako and
Makoto.
"Seiya?" Usagi looks at the back of a red sport jacket that had a black ponytail dangling
down.
Yaten then fell to the sidewalk with Minako on top of him. "Minako-chan, you need to lose
some weight."
Minako didn't know whether to be embarrassed or angry. "I'll try... That's mean!"
"So, Taiki-san, when are you going to put me down?" Makoto looked into his eyes.
"Oh... I forgot. Gomen." Taiki puts Makoto down.
@~~~~`~~~~
"Well, they're back. I knew they couldn't be kept away from you girls for long." Haruka took
another sip of her coffee.
Usagi looked at the older girl. "Well, I wouldn't say that--"
"Don't mind it, Usagi. She was only joking." Michiru smiled. Haruka was about to protest but
Michiru stuffed a biscuit in her mouth before she could anything.
"Well, I better go home now." Usagi got up from her chair. "I'll see you tomorrow at the
meeting at Rei's place, ne?" Setsuna nodded. "Fine. Ja ne!" She left toward the door.
"It's nice to see all of them again." Hotaru looked at the Setsuna. "Especially Yaten. I didn't
get to know any of them very well the first time." She turned toward Michiru and Haruka.
"Yaten seems to be the most interesting. Well, from what Minako-san said..."
Setsuna and Michiru giggled. "Minako has an ability of making more of something than it
really is," Setsuna pointed out.
Haruka gulped and swallowed. She took deep breaths. She looked at her watch. "I think... it's
time... to go... home..."
The others looked at her and nodded.
@~~~~`~~~~
"She's the same as always, ne?" Seiya looked at Mamoru. "Always late?"
"Hai. You're right." Mamoru enjoyed talking to Seiya. Seiya enjoyed talking to Mamoru.
Everything between them was settled. "It doesn't surprise me, either, that's she not here on
time."
Luna was curled up on Yaten's shoulders. "Thanks for letting me spend the night at your
place. It's really great to see you and the others again." Yaten smiled and scratched Luna
behind the ear.
Minako looked at Artemis. She whispered to him, "Don't worry. Luna won't give up on you. If
she did, then Usagi would have given up on Mamoru, ne?" Artemis stared at her, crossly. "Was
that suppose to help?" Minako shrugged.
Ami looked up from her book. "She usually isn't this late. I wonder if anything happened."
"Ami-chan!" Rei jumped in front of Ami. "She could have easily forgot about it. She could
have easily slept it. She could have--"
"Minna! Usagi's in the hospital!"
They all turned to Michiru. "Nani?"
"Her mother just called. On her way home yesterday, she was ran over by a car. She isn't
expected to live. And..." Michiru couldn't finish. Everyone was already on their way to the
cars. Mamoru was in the lead.
"Usako..."
@~~~~`~~~~
"Tsukino-san?" Mamoru found Usagi's mother in the hallway. She looked teary-eyed. He put
his arm around her shoulder. "How is she?"
Ikuko looked into Mamoru's eyes. Her voice cracked as she spoke. "Usagi... is in a coma... the
doctors said that... she... she would have to... wake up within... 48 hours... to know... to know if
she'll... she'll... "
Mamoru held her tighter. He heard the others run in behind him but he didn't turn around. He
was to worry about his girlfriend, his future wife, his family. Without her, his world would
fall. It's starting to crumble as he stood there. He had to see her. They had been through
death before but nothing came close to this. Even the powers that Usagi possessed would not
save her from her ultimate fate.
"Mamoru-san..."
Ikuko whispered coarsely to Mamoru, "Go. Be with them. I'll be fine. I'm going to the rest of
our family. And I do mean our family." She let herself go from the dark-haired man's grip and
walk to the corridor on the right side of the hallway.
"Mamoru-san..."
Mamoru turned around. His eyes were already a bit red and puffy. "She's in a coma... She has
to wake up within the next 48 hours for her chances of living to be better than it is... " He
looked at the friends in front of him: Haruka, Michiru, Taiki, Ami, Makoto, Minako, Yaten,
Hotaru, Rei, Seiya, Setsuna, Luna, and Artemis. He wouldn't have had any of these friends
without the help of Usagi. He wouldn't have survive the past four years without her either.
"Minna... I don't want to lose her... And I know you don't want to lose her either..."
Minako stepped forward. "We don't. She's our princess and our best friend. We can't lose
her. She's too... important... and special... to... to..." Minako had tears in her eyes. She looked at
the floor. She sniffed. She looked back up again. "To lose her!" Minako had fear in her eyes.
She was afraid of losing one of her best friends. Usagi and her were very alike. Both klutzy
and tardy and can never get their homework done. Minako knew how Usagi felt. Minako knew
how Usagi's personality was. Minako knew that Usagi would be crying if one of the other
girls were in the same situation. Minako knew Usagi.
"How could this happen?" Setsuna was the first to speak after that deadly moment of silence.
They all looked at her.
"You couldn't see or feel of this happening?" Mamoru questioned her.
"No. I couldn't foretell this. No one could. I have to say that anything that happens now will
be the path that decides our future. If she wakes up, our original future will be restored. If
not, everything we knew about the future will be completely different from what will
happen. Including Crystal Tokyo and Chibiusa..."
Silence filled the hall again. All the senshi's heads were thinking of Chibiusa. Does she not
exist anymore? The Lights were looking at the rest of them. They didn't understand a thing
Setsuna said or why this Chibiusa person caused such a great silence for all the others.
Mamoru couldn't compute it. He was losing Usagi and now he had gotten the news that her
would be also losing his future daughter. But he knew he had to be strong for the others. He
was their prince. Yet, he felt as he was walking on air. His legs felt like jelly and he fell to
the floor. Haruka, Rei, and Makoto helped lift him up and walked him to a chair. He held his
head in his hands. "I can't believe this... Why her? Why them? If it was going to be someone,
why not me?" He started to sob. Most of the girls went to comfort him.
Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki stood on the other side of the hall. They understood that Usagi had
little chance of surviving but they didn't understand who Chibiusa is or what Crystal Tokyo is.
Michiru and Ami saw the confused looks on their faces and walked over to them.
"What are you confused on?" Michiru handed them her handkerchief.
"Who Chibiusa is..."
"And what Crystal Tokyo is."
Yaten accepted the handkerchief.
"Crystal Tokyo is our future world." Ami looked over at the others. "A couple of years ago,
we had to go there and save their world and our world."
"And Chibiusa?" Taiki looked at Michiru.
"Chibiusa is Mamoru-san and Usagi's future child. She also came to the past back then."
Michiru sighed.
"Their future daughter?" Seiya was shocked. "They know their daughter?"
"Hai. In fact, she had stayed with us for about two years before you showed up the first
time." Ami looked down at the floor.
"Mamoru-san!"
Everyone looked up. Shingo was running towards them. Mamoru jumped out of his seat.
"She's awaking! Mama wants me to get you, Mamoru-san."
Mamoru ran towards Shingo and went to Usagi's room. The lights were dim and Usagi was
lying there lifelessly.
Mamoru walked inside while Shingo left the room. Mamoru walked to the bruised figure of
his beloved. Her face was almost unrecognizable and her hair was short because they had to
cut it due to her injuries.
"Usako?" Mamoru made it to her bedside. He held her hand. "Usako? It's me. Mamo-chan.
Usako?"
Usagi turned slowly and looked into his blue eyes. Even though her accident was almost fatal,
her eyes were still as bright as ever. Yet, confusion filled her body. She whispered, "Who
are you?"

Preview of next week:
"Usagi-chan?" Ami looked at her friend.
"Hai?" Usagi stopped writing.
"You know how to figure out that problem?"
"Hai. It's common sense, ne?"
Ami looked back at her book. It wasn't common sense to the old Usagi, she thought.
@~~~~`~~~~
"Stop it!" Haruka jumped out of her chair.
"Haruka-san, there's nothing we can do about it--"
"She is still are princess! I'm not going to give up on her!" Haruka banged her fist on the
table.
Luna walked to Haruka. "Please understand. Usagi can no longer fulfill the duties of princess.
Sign the papers. It's for our kingdom own good. Onegai." She gave the papers and pen to
Haruka.
Haruka took it. She signed her name on the last spot. She gave them
back to Luna. "I hope we know what we are doing."
