Sailor Moon R (oses)

My ending to Sailor Moon R,

Part 1

Uh, yeah. This is my reworking of one of my first, I believe it was my second, Sailor Moon fanfic. I remember back in the day someone asked me if they could MST it, and I was offended. Now that I'm 7 years older than I was when I originally wrote it, I have to say that I hope the girl MST-ed it anyway, as it deserved it. In the process I took a story that was little more the dialogue and made it much more coherent, readable, and less likely to cause eye strain, it ballooned from 3 pages to 11. I hope you like it. bows

Japanese/English notes.

· Lita is Makoto

· Serena is Usagi or "Usako" to Mamoru, "Usako" mean "little bunny."

· Darien is Mamoru, Mamo-chan (to Usagi and Chibi Usa) Mamoru-san (to others)

· Chibi Usa knows that Mamoru and Usagi are her parents (she's not as braindead)

· Usagi hasn't quiet figured out that Chibi Usa's her kid, little bit slow.

Disclaimer I don't own anything, all character and or plots and subplots are not mine. Do sue me, I'm flat broke, any way how much money could you get out of a 15 year old girl (now 22) who doesn't have a job (now I do, but it's seasonal, and I've got a buttload of school loans)?

Now onto my fanfic

The pink rabbit was attacking Usagi again, this time, when they were just getting ready for bed.

Usagi, busied herself trying to keep the pink haired one at arm's length, or legs length or just away from her chest. For such a small child, her arms were deceptively long. After five minutes or so, pushing away the 60 pound child started to wear on her patience. She screamed in frustration, "Chibi Usa!!!!!!!"

Confidently smirking at making some sort of headway, Chibi Usa decided to go for the direct route "Give me the Illusive Silver Crystal."

Usagi just frowned, and rolled her eyes. The brat had been demanded it ever since she fell from the sky, interrupting a very nice kiss she was sharing with Mamo-chan. Usagi thought about that for a moment, this child, it was like she was purposely pushing all of her buttons. Still there was something loveably sweet about her, Usagi was always a sucker for children. Trying to explain it for the umpteenth million time was getting old though "No, I need it to fight and protect you!"

Chibi Usa pouted, stopping her ongoing assaults for a moment, she gave Usagi her best "I'm a really cute good little child, love me" fact and begged "but I need it to save you in the future!"

Usagi scowled, she was getting tired of dealing with this child and her nonsense. Time travel, yeah right. A moment later, when Chibi Usa saw that her ploy would not work, Usagi smiled at the irony of her disbelief in time travel. Still there were reasons why she couldn't just go giving away her magic items to random children "No, I'm defenseless without it!"

"I know!" interrupted the pink haired one, deciding that her arms were not, no matter how long she gave it, going to grow the extra meter necessary to evade all of Usagi's defenses. Chibi Usa put her hands on her hips and just glared. For someone with pink hair and red eyes, Chibi Usa's glare gave Usagi a chill.

"Why do you want it, if you to take it from me, I'd be defenseless and I'd probably die easily in a fight. Do you want me to die?" Usagi tried to explain, making sure not to let her guard too far down. It was an odd relationship between those two. Chibi Usa depended on Usagi to protector from this organization called "The Black Moon family" yet she also had to keep the runt at arm's length as she would occasionally demand the magical item of hers that allowed her to transform into the pretty Sailor Soldier Sailor Moon.

Usagi started to get upset, this had just been a bad week for her, she had to defeat the oldest sister from the Black Moon, she had tests, and not to mention the worst of it, Mamoru was still trying to break up with her. She didn't understand that, he was her past lover, he had become her current boyfriend, and she had great hopes of marrying him. She loved him more than she loved her own life. Not that that feeling was unique towards him, Usagi was a girl who loved everyone, unconditionally. All that seemed to be getting her was heart ache and stress lately though. Usagi tilted her head, Chibi Usa was just a child, she could never appreciate all of her burdens or much of anything until she got older. Usagi let out a heavy sigh.

Chibi Usa looked hopefully at what seemed to be the start of a resignation. Excellent, she though, now just for the finishing touches. "No I don't want you to die, I'm not suicidal, or stupid, I just want to save my mommy. I'll give it back when I'm done, I promise."

Usagi took a deep breath. Usagi was drained at this point. The only emotion showing in her eyes was one of reflection. Usagi, after a quiet moment stated "You can't use the Illusive Silver Crystal."

Wow, a somewhat straight answer, not just the usual, it's mine get lost you brat, Chibi Usa realized something must be up "And why not?"

Usagi sighed, she didn't want to do this, but the brat would not shut up, there's only so much a girl can take. "You aren't a member of the royal family of the moon. I am the only one who can use it. My mom could, and she died doing it infact."

Usagi had hoped not to ever have to tell anyone about it who didn't already know. It's not exactly something that you share with people; even a social dork like Usagi understood that. Chibi Usa, on the other hand didn't miss a beat. Oh well, it made sense once Usagi thought about it, I mean, the kid is claiming to be from the future and all.

"No your mom's making my lunch for tomorrow for me, she's not dead."

That's why she didn't act surprised, she's not getting it, stupid runt. Usagi decided that no one would ever believe a kid who says they're from the future and, well, there's worse that could be found out about her anyway, might as well give the kid a decent explanation. "I meant my first mother, my mom from the moon kingdom, Queen Serenity. She died saving me and the others a long, long time ago. I was originally born in the Moon Kingdom during the Silver Millennium."

This was nothing the pink haired one hadn't heard over and over again "Yea I know, you've told me that story a million times along with Sailor Moon stories."

This was crap, Usagi decided. This kid never said anything besides how she wanted the Crystal or loved Mamo-chan or generally just whatever it seemed would annoy Usagi the most. Usagi realized that she had no idea where the kid came from, besides the 9th circle of hell. Usagi then decided to be unnaturally nice and almost motherly towards the little wayward moppet. "Say Chibi Usa how about you tell me where you came from, since I told you where I did."

Chibi Usa frowned as she heard those words, what was this blonde trying to do? She smirked and decided to just play along. At least a little, but she better put up some resistance, otherwise she'd risk spoiling Usagi, after all.

"I never asked where you came from Odango Amata. I can't tell you much or else Puu would get mad at me, along with Mama and Papa, if I ever see them again."

Merely mentioning her parents made her voice start to crack, not in the puberty way, but in the "I'm about to cry" way. "I'm not supposed to tell you I came from the future. The future's in danger and, and… Mama, she'll die if I don't get the Illusive Silver Crystal. Mama… Papa….."

Chibi Usa's eyes started to shine, her face contorted and she began to cry. Not the frustrated cry of a child, but the cry of a young woman who was starting to realize how hopeless her situation truly was. Chibi Usa was the princess of the Earth and the Moon, her parents were some of the most powerful people in the galaxy, she was the next great hope for everything. But here she was, alone, scared, not even able to deal with a younger version of her own mother.

Usagi had never seen this side of the pink haired brat. Her heart started to melt when the tears started to hit the floor. She knew she had to concede, at least a little "It'll be okay, I'd give it to you." Chibi Usa stopped crying and just stared at Usagi, who, all of a sudden was no longer under the spell of pity realized what she just said "Except I need it, ya know, to fight and with Rubus and other droids that are attacking the city, I need it to save the city! Anyway you need some one who can use it. Maybe the senshi and I could go to the future and set everything right?" Carefully reading Chibi Usa's expression of neither happiness nor sadness, she added, "Maybe."

How was she going to explain this to Luna and the others? Was Chibi Usa telling her the truth? Maybe she wasn't, maybe she just had put a magic spell on her… wait no, that couldn't be right. All Usagi could understand was that Chibi Usa needed help, and that she was the only one who could help, everything else was unimportant.

Chibi Usa wiped her eyes and looked up at the woman who would become her mother, "Okay, but my time key isn't working."

Usagi's brow crinkled as she had no idea what a time key was, but, she realized that it was getting late, and that whatever it was it could wait until the next day. "We'll fix it in the morning, now get some rest." And without too much more ado Usagi and her future daughter fell asleep.

The next day

Usagi's golden hair lie draped over the edge of bed, her face relaxed and rested, mere inches away from her future daughter. Alas, this tranquility was not to last. "Get up Usagi!" a familiar voice hissed into the sleeping Princesses ear.

Usagi rolled over in response to this disturbance, hitting Luna on the head with her hand as she did do. While still fairly soundly sleeping, Usagi mutters "Just one more minute please mama."

Luna sighs, she's gone through this too many times. In a controlled voice she explains, as if for the hundredth time "Usagi, I am not your mother. Get up. We have a sailor senshi meeting to attend to."

The phrase "sailor senshi" broke sleep's hypnotic spell on Usagi, groggily, rubbing the sand out of her eyes, Usagi sits up and in a daze of confusion asks "Sailor meeting?"

Luna nods in response. Usagi thinks for a minute, there was something that she needed to tell the others, it was something important… That's right! Last night she promised Chibi Usa that she'd help her. Well, one more thing to do this morning "Chibi Usa! Get up!"

In her sleep Chibi Usa mutters "Just one more minute please mama."

This sounds familiar, thinks the purple moon cat, oh that's right, Usagi just said that earlier. Those two are a lot alike. "Are you two related or something?"

Usagi shook her head, having actually considered the question almost seriously "I don't think so, she's from the future."

A crooked smile appears momentarily on Usagi's face. She proceeds to do her best impression of a snooty elitist, saying, in a voice very similar to Luna's "Chibi Usa, I'm not your mother. Get up. We have a sailor senshi meeting to attend to."

Chibi Usa wakes from her sleep quickly, and gets up with a secretive smile on her face. Oh the irony.

Later, on the way to Rei's temple

Usagi had decided to wear a cute pink top, with a white rabbit on it and a moon, and plain baby blue shorts. She thought she looked so cute that she hoped to run into Mamoru on the way, as she felt more confident that he would be unable to resist her.

As luck, and convenient writing, would have it, about half way to Rei's temple Usagi spotted Mamoru. She put on her "I'm a cute happy girl" face and skipped/ran up to him. "Hey Mamo-chan!"

Mamoru knew running would be futile, as would resisting this conversation, but he knew what he must do. Usagi cutely bounced up to him, looking up to him in a very attractive way and said in her cutest voice "Mamo-chan, are you still mad at me?"

All Mamoru could do was to look away and mutter quietly "I'm not mad at you."

With Mamoru's refusal to look at her, her happy girl façade shatters like a thin pane of glass that had just been shot. She tries her hardest to control the wobbling in her voice, and fights the tears that were starting to form in her eyes, "Is it something I did? Is it something I said? Tell me, please."

Mamoru had to tense up every muscle in his body to keep himself from embracing her and kissing all her tears away. It was taking every bit of will power he could muster to not tell her that he loved her that she meant everything to him. Mamoru grimiced to hold back his emotions as he curtly replied "Look-- it has nothing to do with anything you said or did."

Oh, what Mamoru wouldn't give to be able to tell her, to end both their sufferings? But he knew better, if he tried to explain it Usagi would go on a "we can defeat destiny" kick and it's just be all the same, as it is now, except- she might win the argument, she may convince him to ignore it. He knew he couldn't do that, he was getting those dreams for a reason, much like the dreams that first spurred him to done the mask of Tuxedo Kamen, to search for his princess, ironically, they were now warning him to stay away from her, for the sake of her own life.

Usagi, feeling uncomfortable with how harshly Mamoru was rejecting her, and the fact that she had an audience, toned down her emotional response and started staring at Mamoru's shoes. They were black, laced, kind of nice. Usagi quietly responded,
"I wish I could help you."

Usagi is an angel, Mamoru realized, he truly didn't deserve such a wonderful woman, a woman who is not only attractive, but also kind to the point where she'd forget about her own pain, and that it was he who was inflicting it on her. He looked at her and responded automatically, "You can."

Usagi perked back up a bit, getting the enthusiasm to look him in the eyes. Finally he was going to start communicating his wants and needs with her, they were going to work out, her hard had almost skipped a beat. Hesitantly she asked, "How?"

Mamoru, realizing that he was encouraging her, decided that it was not the best idea to do so. Mamoru replied, without putting enough thought into it "Stop asking me why I broke up with you. It's just making it harder on both of us." It was the truth, but, there were better ways he could've said it, he realized as soon as he say Usagi's reaction being one involving tears, he could almost hear her heart breaking.

Having been well behaved and quiet for the past five minutes, Chibi Usa decided she had behaved enough for one day, and that, the few years she's lived on this earth have made her an expert in every field, as she surely sees things more clearly than these "grown ups." Chibi Usa interjected in a calm, but annoyed tone "If being broken up is hard then why don't you just get back together? Jeez, and they say kids are dumb."

Usagi weakly smiled, looking at Chibi Usa through tear-filled eyes, she was doing everything she could to not be visibly crying too hard. She whispered a quiet "Thanks" to the girl who would be her daughter in the far future.

Chibi Usa felt the warmth of love coming from Usagi's suffering smile, it reminded her of how her mother always looked. Stressed from the position of Queen, but, loving towards all. Chibi Usa smiled briefly, and then decided that, while Mamoru was pondering her thought, she should try to get his sympathies, after all, she wanted to be his favorite. Chibi Usa closed her eyes, and stuck her nose up, in the most irratiating, whiney voice should could use, she complained "Hey I'm tired of having to listen to you cry every single night about him. Wah! Wah! Wah! All night long!"

Her plan appeared to bear fruit, Mamoru's eyes widened in shock, or surprise. Sadly, it was the other Ondango Amata he was worrying about. He knew she was upset about being broken up with, and that she was crying a lot, but he was surprised that it was every night, even after all this time. He unconsciously stared at her, unaware of it. Without realizing that his mouth was moving and that words were indeed coming out of it, he breathlessly asked, "Usagi cries every night over me?"

Chibi Usa, not realizing that Mamoru's true concern lie for Usagi and not herself, elaborated her tale "Yes, I hardly get any sleep at all at night anymore!"

Usagi felt her face redden with a blush, she didn't realizing her nighly sob-fests were keeping anyone but herself up. "I'm sorry Chibi, I thought that you were asleep by the time I go to bed."

Chibi Usa, realizing that admitting that admitting that she always purposely stayed up reading manga by flashlight, might not but her in the most sympathetic light used a little white lie "I always fake sleep, so you don't get mad at me for being awake so late, it's hard falling asleep with your always running around and talking in the house!"

Usagi bowed to Chibi Usa, "I'm sorry."

Mamoru, while glad that the pressure was off him for a change realized that he had to say something. Something that would end the conversation and hopefully cheer her up, or at least give her some sense of resolution. "Usagi, I'm sorry, I wish I could take your pain away, so you wouldn't feel it, that only I would have to suffer for this."

Usagi smiled, then realized that the bells were ringing and that it was in fact ten minutes after the time where the senshi and herself agreed to meet. "DANG IT! I'M LATE!!!! REI'S GOING TO KILL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Blonde pigtails coming out of a cloud of dust, which appeared to be dragging Chibi Usa behind it, were all that Mamoru could see coming from the direction that Usagi was running. Chibi Usa, realizing that maybe should could impress Mamoru by her superior manner screamed "Bye-bye Mamo-chan!!!" As she held on for her dear life to a hastily running Usagi.

At the meeting.

Our heroine was greeted by the angry face of a Rei Hino. Tired of always waiting between ten and thirty (sometimes more!) minutes for a girl her own age to show up for every meeting, Rei decided that, while yelling at her in the past failed, this time, it just might work. "Usagi!! You are always late!! Do you need me to buy you an alarm clock??!!"

Usagi was panting from running as fast as she could, and dragging/carrying Chibi Usa along for the ride "I'm sorry I stopped to talk to Mamo-chan."

Rei's face softened as she realized that Usagi probably wasn't doing very well emotion wise. Rei knew that if she had just been dumped by a guy who she was destined for, she'd be pretty upset too, in fact, she'd would've probably just skipped the meeting if she were in Usagi's shoes. But, she wasn't, and there was a more pressing matter. Outsiders aren't really welcome in a group where identities need to be kept secret. "Why did you bring Chibi Usa? This is S-e-n-s-h-i biz. Send her home, or I can get Chad to walk her home."

Ami poked her nose out from behind a medium blue book that was thicker than her own arm, "You do realize that she most likely knows our secret already. She's been with us long enough to observe the coincidences in when we disappear and the Sailor Senshi appear."

Chibi Usa hated being talked about like she wasn't there. Just because she's young doesn't mean that she didn't know what was going on. "Yeah Mars, I'm not stupid and blind, like Usagi."

Usagi's temper appeared, sometimes that kid just got to her. "Shows how much you know Rabbit."

"Don't call me that! I'm Chibi Usa, Small Bunny, sometimes Small Lady. I'm not grown up yet, when I am I'll be Rabbit then, my mama is Rabbit, I'm not old enough yet." note: Usagi rabbit Chibi Usa small/short rabbit

Usagi smiled, "Cool, your mom has the same name as me." It must suck to come from a family where the mom just names the kids after herself, no wonder the pink haired wonder is so messed up, Usagi figured.

A light blue sweatdrop slides down the back of Chibi Usa's head. If she only knew, oh if she only knew, the irony of it all.

It was time to get down to business. It may or may not be difficult to convince the other senshi to come to the future, but Chibi Usa knew one thing, if Sailor Moon was going to go, they were going to go. Behaving as she believed a business woman giving a proposal would, Chibi Usa explained "I came to see if you guys wanted to come to the future to save my mama. Usagi's coming, she's your leader, where she goes, you have to follow."

Everyone was taken back at how much Chibi Usa sounded like a spoiled brat, and how, despite her childish arrogance, she was right. The senshi hesitated before all giving half hearted agreements to go. Usagi, to her credit, tried her best to explain to the girls that they didn't need to go if they didn't want to, that she would understand. But they all knew better, Sailor Moon needs the Sailor Senshi.

Chibi Usa smiled almost devilishly, her plans were working out well. Until she realized that there was one fatal flaw, one piece missing out of the puzzle. "What about Tuxedo Kamen? He's not here, he has to come, to save Usagi from her klutz attacks when we're fighting."

The senshi were quiet, they knew they couldn't speak for Tuxedo Kamen, while he helped them greatly in the past, they all felt that they couldn't count on him anymore, ever since he broke up with Usagi. They all were still feeling emotionally betrayed by him. The emotions of the group at the mere mention of his name ranged from quiet sadness to anger. Usagi spoke up to break the silence, "You should ask him, Chibi Usa, I'm not sure he'll come if I ask him."

Chibi Usa absorbed the general mood towards Mamoru, and she realized that she was on her own about that part. As the cogs of her brain started to spin a plan she said "Sure, I can ask him."

Later

Chibi Usa left the table early, saying that she had a late snack and wanted to be left alone for the rest of the night since she had a spelling test the next day and needed to study hard. Usagi got a lecture from her mother about how she should put as much effort into her studies as her cousin. Usagi just sat there and took it, too lost in her own thoughts about why Mamoru dumped her.

Climbing out of a window wasn't very hard for Chibi Usa, she did it very easily in fact. It was getting down that was hard, more accurately, getting down without breaking bones, but she somehow persevered.

A little while later

An exhausted Chibi Usa greeted Mamoru at the door to his apartment when he answered the knocking at his door, "Mamo-chan, I have to talk to you?"

Mamoru quickly peeked outside his door to make sure there weren't any Usagis hiding waiting to ambush him, one scene with her a day was too much for him, he was emotionally drained. "Sure kiddo what's wrong?"

Chibi Usa decided to just cut to the chase, he didn't look like he was in the mood to be impressed by anyone acting cute around him. "I need you to come with me and the senshi to the future, to save my mama."

Mamoru's brow crumpled. Things are always so simple to children. Mamoru sighed as he determined how it would be best to explain this to her, even though just thinking about it caused him emotional pain. "Chibi Usa, I not sure I can, much less want to. You know Usagi's Sailor Moon?"

Chibi Usa nodded silently, as it seemed that he was going to give her the full explanation, finally, she'll be closer to Mamoru than Usagi in some way.

Mamoru continued, "I can't be around her much. You were there for what happened today, it always ends up the same way. Don't get me wrong, I don't want her to get hurt, that's why I always save her, as Tuxedo Kamen."

She started to realize that Mamoru was holding something back, something didn't make sense, but, then again she didn't care that much as long as she would be able to save her loved ones. Still the stupidity of what he was saying made her ask the question that was just begging to be asked, "If you don't want to see her hurt, then why did you break up with her?"

Damn, this kid wasn't missing any hotspots to hit. Mamoru lamely tried to explain, "She'll get hurt much worse if we don't stay broken up, it's hurting me too."

Chibi Usa frowned, he seemed to have avoided the point of her question, so she repeated it. "I don't get it, it hurts her, it hurts you, you don't want her to get hurt, why don't you guys get back together?"

He was growing weary of having his emotional wound continually prodded by a kid not even half his own age. He explained it again, but with a bite of anger in his voice "Listen Chibi Usa, I care more about Usagi's safety than about my pain. I'd gladly get back together with her but then she'd get hurt really badly. If you want to help, try to make Usagi feel better."

Ok, this is becoming a sore spot for him, she also realized that odds are he wasn't going to spill the beans to her, at least not tonight. Back to what's really important, "Oh, alright, but you have to come to the future."

His voice reset back to monotone as he spewed out the same crap he told himself at least daily in his attempts to cut back on his appearances as Tuxedo Kamen. "The senshi can protect Usagi, if I went I'd be more harm than help because my presence distracts Sailor Moon."

Chibi Usa whined "But, you know Usagi, she'll freeze up when some enemy's attacking, the senshi's attacks all have some sort of charge up time, and if you don't go, there won't be anyone to save her, and she'd die, my mama will too and then I'll die."

Mamoru smirked, he rarely saw true fear on the young girls face, she seemed honestly afraid of her mom dying. He commented offhand "You love your mom so much that if she died you would die too?"

Confused as to why he was asking her such a weird question Chibi Usa realized that she better not explain her secret, it'd probably freak him out. "I love my mommy, but that's not really the reason, I can't tell you the real reason. Will you come?"

Chibi Usa and her mom probably have a special bond, they probably aren't even really humans, after all, that pink hair, it can't be natural, Mamoru reasoned pensively, enjoying pondering something besides his nightmares or Usagi's recent emotional state.

"I suppose, if I can keep my distance, I can go. Only to save Usagi if need be, and to help her save your mother." Mamoru said diplomatically.

Chibi Usa smiled, thanked Mamoru, and decided it would probably be a good idea to get home soon, as it was nearing her bedtime.

Next time

Will my mailbox be overflowing with flames? What will happen between the two love birds? Will Chibi Usa go insane from being so out of character? Will I actually use a spell checker? Will anything interesting happen? Stay tuned and I'll show you!
