Comments: Hi everyone! I can't believe I hadn't post this one! It was completed back in 2002 and is a two-part Fanfic. It's not big on description as my more recent Fanfics are, but I think it's cute. LOL. Er-and there is a Sequel.
Original Notes: This turned out milder than I expected. It's more romance than ogling, oh well! Fluff fans, eat your hearts out:) I guess it was my migraine . ::Frown:: I'm not concentrating real well today and I was ready to kill someone earlier when they stuffed something up and made me wait for almost 2 hours. Arrggggh! On with the Fanfic before I rave some more about how sucky life is!

SMILE! YOU'RE ON CAMERA!
By Princess Destiny
Usagi was watching the evening News and eating some delicious Lasagna with her family when the story came on. Needless to say, she almost sprayed her mouthful of mouth-watering Italian Cuisine all over the room. Twice.
"And tonight's top story; the Soft-toy bandit has struck for the fifth time and putting the fear of god into local Toy Store owners!"
The Senshi of the Moon looked up, fork half-way in her mouth.
"Not again!" Ikuko said in concern, wiping her mouth with a napkin.
"Someone should catch that guy." Shingo said, with gholish interest.
"Bwwaap?" Usagi said, staring from the TV to her all-knowledgeable family. Translation: 'What?'
"-the Bandit appears to single out bunny rabbits-"
::Choke, splutter, cough::
The cad was stealing bunnies?! How dare he! Usagi managed to swallow most of her food without inhaling it up through her nose, or spraying her family with it. Her face turned an alarming shade of red and her hands waved about frantically as she tried to suck in air.
"Are you okay, Usagi? You look weird." Shingo noted, bringing the attention of his mom and dad to his sister's purpling face.
"-the police are asking the help of the Sailor Senshi in this matter and are appealing through this Station to have them meet at the Juuban Mall at 9 O'clock tonight-"
::Choke, splutter, cough::
Usagi almost sprayed the room again at this second shock, eyes boggling. The police wanted the Sailor Senshi to help catch a bunny thief!?
"Usagi! Breath dear!" Ikuko yelled, whacking her daughter hard on the back.
The blonde girl gasped finally, hastily swallowing and collapsing back into the couch. She looked remarkably alike to a beached whale.
Shingo snickered. "You're such a ditz! Who chokes on lasagna."
"Shingo, be nice to your sister." Kenji ordered, looking with concern at his gasping daughter. She looked like she'd had a shock.
Usagi recovered quickly and shoveled her food down like there was no tomorrow, knowing that her Communicator was probably already ringing in her room and Luna waiting. They had a Bunny thief to apprehend. And all of Tokyo knew it. They'd never live this down...Warriors for hire; soft toy busters.
Three Policeman let the girls into the Mall-shoving out Reporters and gaping Senshi-enthusiasts -and then locked the door.
"Glad you could come. We're at a loss." A suitably-awed Policeman said, rubbing his tired eyes.
"What's the plan?" Sailor Moon asked, eager to catch the Bunny-Maniac before he ruined Easter. She couldn't WAIT to pound the guy in paste!
"We'll keep the crowds away, while you Ladies-" ::Cough:: The Policeman looked at Tuxedo Kamen, who's brows had risen and was staring incredulously at the Officers of the Law. "-and Tuxedo Kamen, of course, stake-out the stores in the Mall. If we don't hear from you by 1 O'clock, then we'll assume the Bandit didn't show"
"Sounds like a plan?" Sailor Mars said, turning to the others. The Police beat a hasty retreat before the superior skills of the fifteen year olds in mini-skirts and fashion accessories-and waited back at their Station with emergency doughnuts for word that the stuffed-toy fiend had been apprehended.
"Okay, there's three stores in the Mall, so we need to break into pairs," Sailor Mars said, looking around at them all. "Mercury?"
"Top floor center. Bottom floor right. First floor, left." Sailor Mercury reported, looking down at her Mini-Computer.
"Pairs?" Sailor Moon said, some sixth-sense telling her that she was about to be paired with her crush of the century. "But there's only five of us..."
"We already decided the groups. I'm okay alone," Jupiter said, grinning. She slapped a fist into her hand and ground it around. "This guy tries to mess with me and I'll make sure he can't see straight!" she promised.
Oh no. Sailor Moon gulped and cast a sidelong look at Tuxedo Kamen. She couldn't read his expression, but his eyes were glittering with some emotion.
"Me and Mercury can take the top, Jupiter, you have the first floor and Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen can take the ground floor"
Oh heck! The blonde girl blushed slightly. She was going to be in close quarters...with the light off...with Tuxedo Kamen...for four hours!
"Lets do this." Tuxedo Kamen said in a slightly strangled tone.
The other three Senshi ran off for the escalators and Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Moon stood there, staring at each other.
"I should have asked where the store was." he said, remembering belatedly.
"I hope they left them unlocked," Sailor Moon muttered, scuffing a shoe. She glanced up at him. "The store is this way." she led the way off to the right of the Mall.
A minute later, they stepped into the darkened Toy Store, looking about alertly.
"It's big," Tuxedo Kamen noted. "Why exactly do they need so many stores in one Mall?"
"Competition." Sailor Moon said, staring about eagerly. She loved this store. Her smile faded. The Bunny Bandit had picked the wrong vocation! This was war!
"I can't believe I'm at a stake-out for a Soft-Toy bandit." Tuxedo Kamen groaned, rolling his eyes. Luckily his vision was better than a normal person when he was Tuxedo Kamen! He moved along the isles, staring into each warily.
"He must pay," Sailor Moon growled out, smacking her hands together. "This is personal."
"You have a thing against stuffed-toy thievery?" he asked her, brows raised and lips curved in amusement.
Sailor Moon walked into a display and bounced off into Tuxedo Kamen's arm, sending the basketballs careening off in all directions. "Oops?" she said sheepishly, looking up at Tuxedo Kamen and trying not to notice that his hands were splayed out on her hips.
"You okay?" he said, grinning down at her. She really was adorable!
"Yeah. Hehehe," she giggled, straightening from his chest and turning. She was disappointed that his hands weren't on her any more and wondered absently what it'd be like to kiss him.
He saw her looking at him with a weird dreamy expression and wondered what she was thinking. "Where's the stuffed toys?" Tuxedo Kamen asked her as she continued to look at him, eyes staring him up and down. Was Sailor Moon checking him out?!
"Isle three," the space-case muttered absently, then went back to her drooling. What a hunk! And he was so tall and strong and those eyes! Wow. Sailor Moon was gaga over the tall, dark and handsome who was her stake-out buddy. Her eyes focused abruptly when she heard a low chuckle and she saw that he was looking right back at her! She was in trouble!
Had he noticed her checking him out?
"Like what you see, Sailor Moon?" he teased, bending down to pick up a basketball. He sauntered down to isle three and disappeared.
Sailor Moon stood there gaping and wishing the ground would swallow her up. "Yes." she whispered, then followed him. Oh yes, she liked what she saw alright! She just couldn't believe he'd said that!
She found him half-way down the isle, sitting cross-legged on the floor.
Tuxedo Kamen looked up slowly, rolling the ball from hand to hand across the floor. He took in her long slender legs, mini-skirt, skin-tight body suit, gorgeous hair and pretty face-then went back down for another look.
Sailor Moon blushed a bright red as he checked her out as she had done a moment before.
"Wanna play?" Tuxedo Kamen drawled.
She gaped. "Huh?!"
"Ball?" he went on in the same tone, picking up the ball and showing it to her. He grinned as she blushed brighter, then dropped onto her butt and crossed her legs.
"Ball me! I mean, throw me the ball!" Sailor Moon gasped out, realizing the first time had sounded bad.
Tuxedo Kamen chuckled again, then rolled the ball towards her. "Tell me about yourself" he commanded.
"Only if you do." she retorted, rolling the ball back.
"Okay, you first; I know you're blonde, leggy and gorgeous-"
Sailor Moon gasped, hands flying to he cheeks.
"Problem?" he teased, staring at her knowingly.
"No problem! Tall, dark and handsome." she retorted, yanking her hands down. So, he wanted to play huh?
::Roll::
"Got a boyfriend?"
::Roll::
"No. Got a girlfriend?"
::Roll::
"No. So what do you do for fun?"
::Roll::
"Hang out at the Mall, go play games at the Crown Arcade, eat food...how about you?"
::Pause:: Tuxedo Kamen stared hard at her. "You go to Motoki's Arcade?"
"Yeah...so?" Sailor Moon said, bewildered by his tone.
"So do I!" he responded tightly.
She gaped. "No kidding!"
::Roll::
"Maybe we know each other in civilian form?"
::Roll::
"We probably do."
::Roll::
"Maybe we should do something about it."
::Roll::
"I don't know...you probably wouldn't like me."
::Roll::
"Oh, I like you." Tuxedo Kamen gave her a scorching look from under his dark lashes.
::Blush::
"Can I guess your name?" He went on, making his tone milder. She was only fifteen, after all.
::Roll::
"I guess so-if I can guess yours, Tuxedo Kamen."
::Roll::
"Shoot. Okay...Rei?"
::Choke...roll::
"No...Motoki?" Sailor Moon quessed.
::Chuckle"
"No. Sally?"
::Roll::
Did she seriously looked like the 'Sally' type?! "Nope! Umm-David?"
"Do I look like a David to you?" He said in amusement.
::Splutter::
"I don't know, do I? I can only see your lips!"
::Roll::
"Do you have a problem with my lips?" he murmured slyly.
::Roll::
"Your lips? Ah-no? They're very nice lips. Do I look like a Sally?" she replied, swiftly covering her words with an outraged tone.
::Roll::
"No, you don't. So I have nice lips huh?"
::Gasp::
"So, do you go to School? What are you studying to become?" The Senshi of the Moon hurried back into their questioning before he examined her fixation with his mouth too closely.
::Roll::
"I'm studying to be a doctor. We're not talking about my lips anymore? How about we talk about yours then?"
::Roll::
Again with the lips! Damn, why did he have to keep on that subject like a dog with a bone? Could this get any more embarassing for her? "No! I mean...umm...I go to School too." She said weakly.
::Roll::
::Chuckle:: Of course you do. What are you studying to become?" Tuxedo Kamen asked with interest. Did girls as young as her actually map put their lives? And what could her vocation be, given that she was already a Sailor Senshi?
::Roll::
"As little as possible." Sailor Moon responded immediately. She then realised what she had said an flushed guiltily.
::Roll::
Tuxedo Kamen grinned at her. Sailor Moon was very flustered by his talk about lips. He'd have to do something about that in the near future. "No, I mean what are planing to do when you leave School?"
::Roll::
"I don't...really know." Sailor Moon paused with the ball in her hands, looking thoughtful. "I hadn't really thought about it. Saving the world is a full-time job really." she rolled the ball back to Tuxedo Kamen.
"I know what you mean," he dribbled the ball a little, then tossed the ball from hand to hand as he looked at her. "I wonder sometimes if the fighting will ever be over. Maybe...maybe we'll be fighting the rest of our lives."
She nodded sadly. "I know. I feel that way too. School is so hard. I mean I fall asleep in class, the teacher yells at me and-I'm so clumsy. The other Senshi are so graceful. So in their element. I lay awake at night and wonder if someone didn't stuff up and make me Sailor Moon by accident-"
"Don't say that!" Tuxedo Kamen exploded, hands gripping the ball so tightly it was a wonder it didn't explode. "You're an amazing girl and you're so young too. The girls could never do without you as their Leader. You are..." he trailed off, looking deeply into her eyes from his position. "You are their heart."
Aww, that had been so adorable of him to say. "Thank you," she whispered, eyes filling with grateful tears. "You're really sweet for a virtual stranger."
"Mmm. Maybe that will change very soon." The dark-haired man murmured, eyeing her speculatively.
"What?" Sailor Moon queried, straining to hear what he'd said.
"I said, you're sweet too." Tuxedo Kamen grinned at her lasciviously, glad she was too young to fully recognize the look he was giving her.
