First Encounter

Usagi Tsukino's alarm went off, 6:30 AM and then again and 7. Her first day of her second year of high school and already Usagi was running late. She rolled out of bed grumbling about school and how useless it was. Usagi dressed and ran down the stairs. She grabbed the breakfast her mother set out on a plate for her, kissed her mother on the cheek, waved at her father, stuck her tongue out at Shingo and bolted out of the house. Her mother sighed and shook her head, a small smile on her lips. Some things will never change she thought.

Mamoru Chiba's alarm went off at 6:00 AM. He awoke and turned off the alarm. He lay in bed for a minute trying to recall the previous night's dream. It had been about the princess again, the blond odango haired princess that kept asking him to help her and she kept begging him to bring her the imperium silver crystal. He thought a minute longer.

What could it mean? What was the imperium silver crystal? And most of all who was the beautiful, sweet voiced princess?

This reoccurring dream always felt so real; he could swear he knew the princess, even though he never saw her face, she felt and sounded so familiar. He had to do something about the dream; he had to help this beautiful princess. Mamoru continued to think about the dream as he got up and dressed. At 6:30 he left his apartment still puzzling about the dream.

He walked to The Crown to get his morning coffee with the princess' sweet voice still echoing in his ears. He entered The Crown and sat down at the counter where his friend Motoki already had his coffee waiting. Mamoru smiling greeted Motoki who smiled and uttered a hello. Mamoru sipped his coffee his thoughts wandering. He had classes today, and he wondered why he chose to go into medicine. It was demanding, and left him with little time to relax and enjoy himself. He spent most of his time studying or in classes these days.

His wandering thoughts again returned to the blond odango haired princess. He finished his coffee and proceeded to pay when Motoki said, "Hey Mamoru, I don't see you a lot any more. I know you're busy and all but could you stop by after your classes? Just so we can talk and hang out a little?" Mamoru thought about this and decided he could use a little break, so he smiled and told Motoki he'd see him later and left.

Usagi could not be late on the first day of school! She didn't want to get detention; she wanted to go to the arcade after school today. So she sprinted to school and stopped paying attention to everything and everyone else around her. That was when she ran head long into Mamoru.

Mamoru was walking out of The Crown when something, no not something, someone came crashing into him. Both bodies fell over. Mamoru was not pleased.

Mamoru got up and dusted his clothing off glaring at the little body that had knocked him clean off his feet.

He snapped "Hey why don't you be more careful and watch where you're going Odango?"

Usagi looked up startled. Who was he to call her Odango? It had been an accident after all. She hadn't intentionally run into him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to run into you, I'm just in a hurry and you stepped out of nowhere. Maybe next time you should watch yourself. And don't call me Odango, it's not nice." She replied tartly.

He looked down at her irritated. "Well next time maybe you should be more careful…Odango." He smirked.

She looked up at him annoyed and said, "I told you not to call me Odango, Baka."

And with that she stuck out her tongue at him, picked herself up and walked away from him without a backwards glance.

Usagi kept walking, she was nearly at school now and she was in no danger of being late. The nerve of that that guy, calling her Odango, who did he think he was. Still he was very good looking. Strong, tall, muscular, dark hair and midnight blue eyes. She couldn't help but notice just how attractive she found him.

Mamoru just watched as the girl walked away from him. He frowned, there was something about her that was nagging in the back of his mind, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He turned and headed to first class of the day. He thought about her delicate frame, angelic face, long blond hair, and stunning sky blue eyes. He had to admit he did find her very attractive.

When he got to his first class he sat down in a seat and continued to think about the girl. He had the irritating feeling her was over looking something. If only he could think straight right now. The class lecture began but Mamoru paid little attention to it, he wasn't interested.

His thoughts returned to Odango, and then it came to him. Odango's voice sounded like the princess' voice in his dreams. Both of them even had the same hairstyle! Mamoru thought about it a little more trying to compare his princess and Odango, but how could Odango be a princess? She was young, klutzy, foolish and seemingly childish. She couldn't be an elegant princess. What was he thinking? Still he made a mental note to ask Motoki about Odango after classes.
