Usagi sat alone in park at four in the afternoon. She looked up at the sky bored. She would usually be either home, at a scout meeting or at the arcade but the arcade was close for cleaning, her her friends where busy with their own usual after school activities and her parents were busy paying more attention to Chibiusa, their future granddaughter. She couldn't go to Mamoru's place since he was busy studying for an important exam with a study group at his school and she didn't want to disturb him. Sighing, Usagi stood up and decided to take a small walk down by the lake to get her mind off of things.

She had been feeling left out in her family ever since Chibiusa came into their lives from the future. She couldn't possibly hate the little kid, she knew kids like Chibiusa's age needed a lot of attention. But she couldn't help feel like she was invisable. First it was from her parents and Mamoru which she could't blame them. Chibiusa was cute and no one could stay mad at her for very long. But then it was Luna, Rae, Ami, then Makoto and Minako.

Whenever she wanted to spend time with her boyfriend, Chibiusa was always right behind her and in the end it was Chibiusa who got all the attention. And when she would head to the arcade, her friends would start smiling and laughing with the little future princess that Usagi would find herself sitting alone in a booth while they all go off and play the sailor v game. Of course Motoki was the same but he would always came smiling up to her, asking her how her day was and what she would do on the weekends. At least she wasn't completely forgotten by everyone.

Usagi wondered around near the lake thinking to herself. She thought about the events that had happened that morning at home.

~Flashback~

Usagi woke up like usual, with her alarm going off before Luna began to paw at her head to wake her up. She sat up rubbing her tired eyes before she yawed tiredly.

Usagi:"I'm up... So... Sleepy..."

Luna shook her head when she noticed two mangas on the floor next to the bed and one left opened on the pillow.

Luna:"Honestly Usagi-chan, you need to be more like Chibiusa. She wakes up all on her own."

Usagi choose to ignore that comment but it still swam around in her head.

Be more like Chibiusa... Is that all Luna could ever say?

She shook her head and began to get ready for school before she made her way back downstairs for breakfast. She was happy, it was pancake day. She sat down at the table and was about to reach for the last of the pancakes when Chibiusa grabbed it before her.

Usagi:"Hey! That was mine!"

Chibiusa just ate the last pancake without saying so much as a word and Usagi felt angry. She was about to yell when her mother came to the table with two glasses of orange juice.

Mom:"Usagi! Leave little Chibiusa alone!"

Her mother set the glass down in front of Usagi and Chibiusa. Usagi muttered "I'm sorry" under her breath before she drank down her juice. She checked the time before she ran out the door, but not before accidently knocking over the open bottle of maple syrup on to Chibiusa's school skirt.

Mom:"Usagi! What's wrong with you?!"

Usagi stared at her mother as she wiped the syrup off the younger girl's skirt.

Usagi:"B-But, it was an accident!"

Mom:"I don't care, go on now! Your going to be late for school!"

Usagi watched as her mother carried Chibiusa off upstairs to change. Usagi looked down at the floor before she slowly made her way out the door, not caring if she got detention. It was an accident, she would never purposely do that.

~End of Flashback~

After school, Usagi headed to the temple with Chibiusa following her. After arriving, the girls all began to ask them how their day was before Chibiusa explained what had happened that morning. Then the girls all began to yell at her saying that they couldn't believe she did that. Usagi tried to explain that it was all an accident but they wouldn't let her explain. After that, Ami, Makoto and Minako headed to own ways and Rei went off to do her usual priestess duties.

So now she was here, at the park, by herself. She leaned down and grabbed a small pebble from the ground and tossed it across the water, making it skip across before sinking fully into the water. She was about to grab another pebble when the sound of a twig snapping caught her attention. Usagi jumped an grabbed her brooch. She turned to the source of the noice and saw Chibiusa standing behind a tree, holding Luna-P in her arms. Usagi sighed and let go of her brooch.

Usagi:"Don't do that, what if I had attacked you?"

Chibiusa:"Sorry..."

Usagi turned away from Chibiusa and sat down by the lake. Chibiusa looked down at her feet before she slowly walked over to Usagi and sat down next to her. Neither of them said a single word for nearly five minutes before Chibiusa broke the silence.

Chibiusa:"I'm sorry you got in trouble with mama-Ikuko... And the girls..."

Usagi sighed and leaned back and layed against the grass.

Usagi:"It's fine, don't worry about it."

Chibiusa stared at Usagi before she looked back down at her grass as she held Luna-P closer to her. Usagi stared up at the sky before she felt weight on her side. She looked and Chibiusa laying next to her, with her little head on her arm. Usagi sighed and gently pet her head.

Chibiusa:"I'm sorry..."

Usagi sighed and gently pet the young girl's head once again.

Usagi:"Don't worry about it Chibiusa, it's nothing."

Chibiusa looked up at her before she looked back down sadly. Usagi sat up and Chibiusa did the same before both stood up.

Usagi:"You should head home before it gets late. Tell mama I'll be home later, I gotta head to the market to get her some carrots for tonights dinner."

Chibiusa looked down and gave a small nod.

Chibiusa:"O-Ok."

She walked out of the park and headed home while Usagi headed to the market. She knew Chibiusa would be ok, the park was only five minutes away from her house. Usagi walked out of the park and was about half a block away when there was a loud scream follow by a loud screech. Usagi ran back into the park to find Chibiusa cowering by a broken tree while a weird looking monster that wa crossed between a large cat and some type of bird. Usagi glared at the monster, transformed before she pulled her wand.

She jumped in between the monster and Chibiusa.

Usagi:"Get away you overgrown house cat!"

Chibiusa watched as Usagi fought the cat and was losing badly. Chibiusa hid her face into Luna-P as Usagi was knocked back into a tree. Usagi looked up as the monster approuched Chibiusa before she wobbly stood up, ran up to the creature and jumped on its back. She began to hit and claw at the monster before she began to chunks of its fur, causing it pain. The monster tossed around, trying to knock her off before she was tossed in front of Chibiusa.

Usagi slowly looked up at Chibiusa who looked at her with crying eyes. Usagi smiled lightly before both heard a growl. They looked and saw the creature baring its large fangs at them before it pounce on them. Usagi managed to push Chibiusa out of the way just in time. The creature knocked her completely through a tree behind her, and pinned her down on her back.

Usagi looked up and glared at the creature which snarled at her. It leaned down to bite her, and she closed her eyes in fear before she heard the monster scream in pain. She looked and saw the other senshi had arrived and were attacking the monster, which had gotten off her and was trying to attack them. She slowly sat up and felt slight pain on her left leg. She ignored it and grabbed her staff that was left abandon on the goind before she attacked and destroyed the monster.

Usagi sighed as she changed before Rae and the girls came up to her as she tried to stand up.

Rae:"What where you thinking Usagi!? You could have gotten yourself and Chibiusa killed!"

Ami:"Come Rae, go easy on her."

Makoto:"Yah, at least their both safe."

Minako gave a nod before Chibiusa cames walking up to the group. Rae looked away and turned to the little girl.

Rae:"You ok Chibiusa? That monster didn't scare you too much did it?"

Chibiusa looked down before she looked up at them again and shook her head.

Makoto:"Great, now who's up for some ice cream? My treat!"

Minako:"Me!"

Ami:"I as well."

Chibiusa gave a small nod before she turned to Usagi who seemed to be having a hard time standing.

Chibiusa:"Usagi-chan, are you ok?"

Rae looked at Usagi before she looked away and smiled at Chibiusa.

Rae:"She's fine, she's had worst injuries."

Chibiusa blinked before the girls began to walk away from their leader with her and Usagi found herself alone in the park. Sighing, she tried to stand up again but her leg hurt too much and she fell back against the ground. She looked around for something, and she picked up a large stick. She managed to stand and she began to limp out the park. By the time she got out of the park, it was already night time. Usagi bit her lip as she tried to ignore the pain in her leg as she made her way down the sidewalk.

After what seemed like hours, Usagi found herself across the street from the arcade. She looked up and saw Motoki locking up. She smiled before she limped away when Motoki turned around and noticed her.

Motoki:"Usagi-chan! Oh god, you ok?"

He ran up to her and helped her just as the stick she had snapped and broke in half. She nearly fell to the ground if he hadn't helped her up.

Usagi:"I-I'm fine onii-chan... I-it's just a small sprain."

She tried to stand on her own but held her leg in pain as she fell to the ground.

Motoki:"That looks more then just a sprain, come on. We're going to the hospital."

He gently picked her up and carried her down the street.

Hospital...

Usagi sat on a hospital bed as Motoki talked with the doctor. She looked around nervously before Motoki walked back into the room.

Usagi:"What did he say?"

Motoki:"He says you don't have a serious injury but, you won't be able to walk for at least two or three months."

Usagi sighed as she looked down at her lap as Motoki sat down beside her.

Motoki:"Want me to call your parents?"

Usagi shook her before she looked up at him smiling.

Usagi:"It's ok, I'll call them. You should head home."

Motoki:"Y-you sure? I c-could call and drop you off..."

Usagi:"It's ok, I'll be fine. Its not that big of a deal."

She playfully nudged him with her arm and smiled.

Usagi:"Go, I'll be fine."

Motoki looked down before he gave a small nod and hugged her.

Motoki:"Take it easy Usagi-chan, see you tommorrow."

Usagi returned to the hug before he left. Usagi sighed as soon as he was out the door before she carefully stood up and changed back into her clothes before she signed out and left the hospital with two crutches. She made it home in under half an hour only to find the whole house dark. She made her way inside and into the kitchen for some water. She walked to the fridge and got a water bottle before she saw a note on the fridge.

Usagi-chan,

Daddy and I are going out with daddy's boss and wife for dinner. Shingo is staying at a friends out. Dinner is in the fridge, just heat it up for yourself and Chibiusa. We'lle be home late so be good and leave little Chibiusa alone. See you

Love mama

Usagi stared at the note before she turned away and headed to the livingroom. She sat down beside the landline and picked it up. She began to think about who she should call. She knew the girls where probably heading home already and Mamoru was probably just heading home from school after his study group. She kept thinking to herself when the phone rang.

Usagi:"Hello?"

Voice:"Hey Usagi-chan, its Minako. I just called to see how you where doing."

Usagi looked down at her leg but shook out the idea of telling Minako.

Usagi:"I'm just fine, you?"

Minako:"I'm great, we had fun. Anyway I called to let you know that Chibiusa is staying at my place, is that ok?"

Usagi:"Yah... Sure... It's fine by me."

Minako:"Why don't you come over too? We could have a sleepover."

Usagi:"No, no... I'm ok, I'm... Kinda busy anyway, maybe another time."

Minako:"Oh, ok. And Luna will be staying over too... Are you sure you don't want to come over?"

Usagi:"Yah, I'm sure. Have fun, anyway I gotta go. See yah tomorrow."

She shut the phone off before Minako could respond before she sighed and fell against the couch. She layed there for about half an hour before she stood up and headed to the kitchen. She heated up her dinner before she headed upstairs and went to bed.

The next morning, Usagi woke up an hour more then usual as she began to feel pain on her leg. She wobbled over to her desk and pulled out the pain killers the doctor prescribed her from a small paper bag she brought home with her. She read the prescription and took two pills. She waited for them to take effect before she began to get ready for school. After that, she headed downstairs only to find her house still empty. She shrugged it off as she thought maybe her parents decided to stay out longer. She made herself some toast before she made herself a simple lunch headed out the door.

~Skip~

Usagi made it into class just as the bell rang. Usagi's classmates all looked at her surprised before Neru ran up to her and grabbe ber school bag for her.

Neru:"Usagi-Chan, what happened?"

Usagi:"I'm fine, its just a small broke bone. Nothing serious."

Neru:"Nothing serious?! This is seriously serious!"

Usagi smiled as she made her way to her desk as Neru followed and set Usagi's book bag on her desk.

Neru:"Do your parents know? What about the girls?"

Usagi opened her mouth to respond when the teacher came into the classroom and class started.
