Mamoru awoke bright and early that morning, he was grinning madly thinking of the date (or so he wanted to think of it as a date) with Usagi that afternoon. He decided to jog and go for a coffee at the arcade, and in the process visit Motoki. When he stopped at the arcade he spotted Motoki talking and laughing with Makoto, he seated next to Makoto and greeted her and the Motoki who was already making his coffee. However Mamoru noticed that Makoto was glancing nervously, which he found weird, he shrugged it off and took a sip of his coffee. Later Makoto left the arcade leaving Motoki grinning like fool. Mamoru chuckled and decided to tease:

"So she has you whipped as far as I can see." He said with a smirk and mischievous glint in his eyes. Motoki merely sighed happily still grinning and replied in a soft voice: "As long as Mako-chan is the one who is whipping me, I could care less..." and he sighed again while closing his eyes. Mamoru had to admit he was envious that his best friend had a relationship with the girl he loved, and had no trouble in starting the relationship. It all started when Mamoru dared Motoki to finally ask her out and surprisingly enough she accepted, they had been together ever since. Mamoru on the other hand had to wait for Usagi and him to discover they had a destiny together for them to even start dating. Even though he tried so many times to ask her out on a date in the past he chickened out at the end, afraid of getting hurt.

Mamoru made his way to his apartment. Once in his apartment he decided to work out for two hours. Around 1pm his phone ringed and he answered, and for his surprise it was Usagi.

"Umm, hi Mamoru it's me Usagi." She said in a soft voice almost nervous. He smiled, glad to hear her voice and replied: "Hi Usagi, how are you?"

"Oh I'm fine. Listen, I know we said we were going to meet at three but I was wondering if we could meet in half an hour. If that is ok with you?" To say he was thrilled would be an understatement. "Sure I'll just take a quick shower and head to the park so I'll see you 

in a few." He answered quickly while trying to hide his happiness. "Great, see you there." She hung up and he bolted to the shower, he even put some cologne on after the shower. It was 1:20pm when he was heading to the park, and he was walking on clouds thinking: Wow! Finally after some years of teasing and everything else, we are going to be together; that I Chiba Mamoru will finally be with the woman I love, and won't be alone again.

When he reached the rose gardens he was surprise to find Usagi already seating on a bench with a rose in her hand inhaling the sweet fragrance. He put a hand on her shoulder and she jumped, he chuckled and said: "Never in my life have I seen that you have been early for something in your life, Usagi." He took a seat beside her and she smiled weakly and nodded. "Well, there comes a time for everything, right?" she said softly while staring at the rose. After a few minutes of silence Usagi spoke up: "Listen Mamoru, there is a reason I wanted to meet you here." She started nervously. He looked at her confused and nodded for her to continue. She stared at the rose in her hand and continued softly:

"I was just thinking about this whole destiny thing. And I was wondering if we could change it." His head snapped in her direction so that he was staring at her with fear in his eyes, somehow deep in his heart he already knew what she was going to say.

She continued again in the same tone of voice: "I mean, sure my destiny is to protect your planet, that is my duty and I intend to fulfil it, but I don't think it's necessary for us to get married or even start a relationship for that matter. And let's be honest, we would just kill each other in the end, everyone knows you and I don't get along. I could still..." she was cut off by Mamoru "But that can change, we can get along if we wanted to."

She shook her head and continued: "I don't doubt that, what I doubt is that we can fall in love with each other. You wouldn't want to get in a loveless marriage and neither would I. You can still become King and choose your queen, and I will become the head soldier of your kingdom and protect it. And besides, you might want someone who is like you: intelligent, attractive and witty. And I want someone charming, funny, handsome and with a big heart. And if it is truly destiny then we will find our way to each other, but until then we can be friends and go out from time to time." She finished with a smile and waited for his response, he was without words and merely nodded, she squealed and hugged him tightly. "I'm so glad you understand Mamoru-san! Well I have to go, I'll see you later. Call me if you ever want to hang out. Bye!" She left skipping with a wide smile while leaving Mamoru behind with lots of thoughts in his mind and a heart shattered.

Usagi skipped her way to the arcade, she was truly happy that Mamoru understood her point of view. She didn't hate him but she didn't love him either, it was more of a 'we-just-don't-get-along' thing. What she didn't like is that destiny was pushing her to be with someone she didn't want to be with, she wanted to live her life, date hot guys, graduate from college, and she just wanted to be normal.

Just when she was about to turn the corner she bumped into someone, papers and purses flew and the two scrambled to pick the items up, when the two got up she was met with a pair of deep blue eyes and black hair, and oh the most gorgeous smile she has seen. They both smiled and handed each other's items. The man smiled and thanked her.

She smiled as well and apologized: "I'm so sorry, I'm such a klutz." He smiled more and replied sweet and softly: "Don't worry about it. I would forgive you if you give me your name." She giggled and looked into his eyes. "My name is Usagi Tsukino. What's your name?" He took her hand and kissed it tenderly while looking into her eyes slightly smiling at her blush. "My name is Seiya Kou."
