Disclaimer : I don't own Sailormoon. You think I'd be
writing a fanfic if I did? Heh -_-;
A.N. This idea came to my mind this morning or rather,
last night and when I woke up, I thought about it a bit
more and now I decided to write it ^_^ Hope you like it.
Usagi is 24 by the way and Tetsu is 25... Err Mamoru
is like an old guy then... Heh, he's probably 30....
I won't make him older or it'll be weird x_x

And To Change, Is It Good?

Prologue
Usagi sat up in bed, feeling a whisper of cool air
seeping in from the window. Bright, white light flooded
in to tell her it was morning. She sighed and turned
to the figure lying next to her. She gently smoothed
his hair as she watched him sleeping peacefully.
"Tetsu..." she murmured his name, then saw him stirring
awake.
Her hands moved quickly away as his eyes opened. He looked
at her expressionless and without a smile. She smiled a
little, hoping he would smile back. Her hopes were crushed
as usual.
"Good morning Tetsu," she murmured. "Did you sleep well?"
He just nodded, then slipped out of bed.
"I'm going to have a shower. You can go and have breakfast
first," he told her, then she saw the bathroom door closing
shut.
Usagi sighed once more, then got out of bed. She changed
into a long, summer dress, patterned with fading roses.
It was her favourite dress and it reminded her of the
times when Tetsu had complimented her in it. Now, he no
longer said anything to her unless it was necessary.
She slipped quietly out of the room to the kitchen.
There, she made herself some salad and munched on it
at the kitchen bench without bothering to sit down.
She played with the lettuce, her fork piercing it
so many times before she actually put it in her mouth.
"Until death do us part...." Usagi whispered, her
voice sounding frail.
Usagi jumped at the sound of the bedroom door opening.
She busied herself with washing her emptied salad bowl.
Tetsu's firm footsteps could be heard, walking down
the stairs.
"I'll be home earlier than usual today," Tetsu spoke
to her from the TV room. "And pack a bag full of
what you need to stay away for a month."
Usagi turned, surprised and a little glad that he
was saying something to her in such early hours
of the day.
"A month?" she asked, walking to the TV room,
wiping her wet hands on a tea towel. "What for?"
"You'll see," was all Tetsu told her.
Puzzled, Usagi stood there looking at him for a
while longer. He glanced up at her and his eyes
told her to go away. She turned obediently and
left the TV room. Tetsu was always in a bad mood
in the mornings.
Usagi sat outside on the balcony. She could hear
the morning news in the TV room below her. What was
Tetsu thinking of doing? Where they going on a holiday?
It was their 3 year anniversay afterall. Usagi became
a little hopeful and smiled to herself. Maybe work
wasn't the only thing on Tetsu's mind. She certainly
hoped so. But three years had been a long time. At
least for Usagi, it had felt that way. She remembered
how Tetsu used to be so sweet and kind to her. He was
always so funny and he would spend so much money on
her even when she kept telling him not to. Ever since
he had been promoted, he was so moody all the time,
so busy, so tired, so stressed. He had no time for
her any more. Usagi hadn't minded at first. She wanted
to support him. But gradually, maybe because she hadn't
talked to him about it, he started to not talk to her
at all unless it was necessary. He would avoid
conversations with her and the only time when they
were together was when they went to sleep. At least
that made Usagi feel like he didn't hate her. At least
he felt comfortable enough to share the same bed as her.
Usagi sighed and closed her eyes. She felt like she
no longer knew Tetsu any more.
After a while, Usagi realised that she could not
hear the TV. She walked down stairs to find that
Tetsu had left for work without telling her. Usually
he at least told her for security. Tetsu was acting
a little stranger than usual, so Usagi just shrugged.
Maybe he was planning a surprise for her. But she
hated the feeling that Tetsu would never do such a
thing any more. She wanted to believe it, but somehow
she couldn't. Usagi sighed for the third time that
morning, then went back up stairs to pack a suitcase.

A.N. Tada! That was the prologue. Just a little bit
of background info. Although, I think you could read
straight from part 1 and not get lost. But just to
satisfy the author in me, I wrote the prologue ^_-
E-mail me at moon_cat_9@hotmail.com! I love getting
feedback!
Anyway, look forward to part 1! Here's a little
teaser for it:
Part 1 - Is It Fair To Say...?
Mamoru opened the door to see his colleague
Tetsu and his wife. What was her name again?
Usagi, he remembered as their eyes met for
a fleeting moment.
