Summery" Usagi and Mamoru discover that they have a common link in the past. A connection that they had both almost forgotten.

Here is a new story I had to get it down as soon as I could or I would have lost the drive to type it. So far I have typed this intro and 2 chapters. I'm hoping to get as much done as quickly as I can as this is only meant to be a short story and I should be trying to get my other stories done.

Introduction: Matching Photos!

20 year old Chiba Mamoru walked into the Crown Arcade to the sound of the bell above the door. He looked around for his blonde haired girlfriend. She wasn't by her usual stool by the counter. He looked in the direction of the arcade games. The Sailor V game was empty so Usagi had to be elsewhere. Lastly he looked at the booths and there Usagi was taking up a whole booth to herself. Right next to her was an open shoe box and some large A4 size envelopes. The table top was covered in photo, all scattered in a mixed up way. She held some photos in her hand and she looked like she was deep in thought. Amused Mamoru walked over to the booth that Usagi occupied and stood right next to her. Still she was too deep in thought to notice him and he began to get curious.

"Usako, what on earth are you doing," he asked his voice dripping with mild amusement and one of his eyebrows was cocked in a look of semi-confusion. Usagi looked up from her work a little startled and a little joyful at the sound of Mamoru's voice

"Hi, Mamo-chan, I'm sorting through my memory box. My Mum wants to make a photo album for my 16th birthday that is coming up soon. She's been taking craft classes and has really gotten into scrap booking. She did up this neat photo album for my Aunty on her 40th."

"Looks like you got your work cut out for you there, sorting through all those photos"

"Yep I sure do, take these for example" and she showed him the pictures in her hand. "This was the day my brother was born. My dad must have taken like a hundred photos of me that one day alone. I only have about ten or twenty of them. Most have been given away to relatives or friends, I have some in frames at home and I'm sure mum has some in some photo album somewhere. The thing is which one do I want to put in my special album? Some of these are really cute. I just can't decide. Can you help me Mamo-chan?"

"Sure Usako let me take a proper look" So saying he put his hand out and Usagi handed him the photos. What Mamoru saw next took his breath away. Staring back at him was a face he hadn't seen in 10 years. "Usako?" he asked almost hesitantly "Where was this picture taken?"

"Look on the back my Dad always wrote down detailed descriptions. Something about preserving memories"

Mamoru turned the photo around and sure enough in neat handwriting was a very detailed description which read 'Usa-Hime (date) at Tokyo General Hospital ready to hand pout flowers to the sick kids, the day Shingo was born.'

Mamoru pulled out his wallet from his pocket and opened it. He pulled out the stack of photos from their display. Flicking through the top photos of Usagi he came to the second last photo and showed it to Usagi. It was worn around the edges and a little aged. Usagi gasped when she saw it. It was the twin to her own photo. She took it for Mamoru's hand to look at it more closely. She turned it around and on the back there were two words in her father's hand writing 'Usa-Hime' and the same date that was on her photo.

"Where did you get this Mamo-chan," Usagi asked very curious

"You!" He replied "You gave it to me. On the day I left hospital for the orphanage. The day we though we would never see each other again"

Usagi gasped yet again "You're the boy" She exclaimed.
