Ok, this is my first fan fic, so please be gentle. I don't own any of the Sailormoon characters, so please don't sue me, I have no money. I do belong to myself however, and I may be popping up in weird places.

Once in a Lifetime

Usagi sat at her window gazing at the stars. Her faithful advisor, Luna is asleep at the foot of the bed. She does not see the tears in Usagi's eyes as she weeps softly. Mamo-chan. Why do I feel this way? I love Mamo-chan, so why can't I forget Seiya. Nothing has been the same and Mamoru is going back to America next week. I don't want to be alone again. Usagi continued to weep quietly. She got up, and quietly went to the bathroom. She washed her face and went back to her room. It wouldn't do to let Luna see me cry. She'll know what's wrong.

The next morning Usagi was up before her alarm. She had been doing this a lot lately and everyone thought it as because she was growing more mature. Usagi was always mature, but now she just could not sleep. She dreamt of him again last night and she now felt even more fatigued.

She took her usual route to school and plastered a fake smile on her face, knowing she would see Mamoru on the way. True to tradition, she walked right into him.

"Ohayo Usako. We have time for a quick coffee if you want."

"Iie, Mamo-chan, want to get there early today, demo you can walk me to class."

"Are you feeling ok, you've been acting strange lately."

"I'm fine, Mamo-chan, I just have to behave more maturely. I am in High School now."

They continued on their way in relative silence. Usagi held his hand, but Mamoru could tell that something was bothering her. Not wanting to push it, he kept his mouth shut. They arrived at the school and Mamoru kissed Usagi goodbye.

"I'll meet you at Rei's after I get off work, ok?"

"Yoi, ittekimasu."

Usagi went through the school day with no problems. She could actually answer every question she was called upon to answer (which was a lot, because sensei always thought she was day dreaming in class. The trouble started when she got out of class.

"Oi, Ondango!" a familiar voice shouted across the plaza.

"Seiya!"

"Dochirahe, it's been a long while."

"I'm great, and you? Where is everyone else?" Usagi figured if she could keep talking she could keep from fainting. What is he doing here? Why now, why me? When did he get to be so cute.
