Hi minna-chan! Back for more? THAN E-MAIL ME! Okay,
okay, I'll shut up after the disclaimer. I don't own Sailor Moon
or make money off of the show or any of the characters.

Usagi looked down at her watch one more time and then jumped
up and ran to the two heavy doors at the front of the building.
Suddenly, though, she stopped.
'What if he doesn't like me?' She wondered. 'What if
it's like when we first met in this life? No, no. He's alone
and needs a friend right now, and who better to fill that position
than his future girlfriend and past fiancee?'
She straightened her shirt and knocked on the doors. After
a moment Usagi was about to knock again when the door was opened by
a matronly looking woman with her gray hair up in a bun.
"Can I help you?" she asked as a clock not far away chimed
ten times.
Usagi smiled up at the woman. "Um, yes. I really need to
talk to Chiba Mamoru. It's important."
The woman looked down at her with surprise. "Mamoru?"
she questioned.
Usagi nodded, a bright smile on her face. "Umm hmm."
"It's just that he never gets many visitors..." the
woman trailed off. "please come inside for a moment, and I'll get
him for you. What's your name again, dear?"
"Tsukino Usagi, ma'am."
"Okay, hon. Hold on while I go get him," the woman
said, smiled, and started up the stairs.
Usagi stepped into the building and was pleased to find that
it was much nicer inside than the facade indicated. It was, by
no stretch of the imagination, homey, but like a nice school, with
blue tile floors and black furniture. She took a seat in a
comfortable black chair and stared out a window, into the
playground outside, allowing herself to worry.
All to soon usagi heard steps on the stairway. She turned
to see the woman walking in front of a tall teenage boy. He
had raven-black hair and piercing blue eyes.
She could hear him say "But I don't know anyone named Usagi!"
The woman looked over her shoulder at him and frowned.
"well, she's a beautiful girl, and she seemed to have something important to say to you, so you might as well hear her out," she
said kindly.
When they reached the bottom Usagi reluctantly pulled
herself out of the cushy chair and faced her Mamo-chan.
When he saw her he stopped in mid-stride, almost falling
over. Usagi giggled. She had heard Mamoru say that she was
beautiful many times, but never really believed him until now.
'He must really think that I am!' she thought happily
to herself.
Almost immediately he pulled himself out of it. "Can I
help you?" he asked politely, but coldly.
Usagi almost began to cry. 'He's so alone' she thought.
'He's already pushing people away. But he's still so young. I
can help him.'
He must have noticed her pain, and so asked "Are you
all right?" and stepped towards her.
Usagi pulled herself together and smiled as brightly as
she could at him. "Oh, yes," she answered. "I am Tsukino Usagi, and
I really need to talk to you. It's an important, and private
matter." she said.
He looked at her strangely, then at the woman. She nodded
and gently pushed him towards her. "Well then," he said. "Come
this way."
He led her back outside, to where she had sat for uncountable
hours. As soon as they were alone Mamoru turned towards her,
genuinely curious. "Why are you here?"
Usagi smiled thinly. "Well, I came her because I have a
big problem, and you're the only one that I can turn to."
"But I don't even know you!" he protested.
"Oh, but I know you." she said (A.N. What movie...). "This
is going to sound really odd and impossible, but I'd like you
to promise to keep an open mind, okay?"
He looked at her strangely, but conceded. "Okaayyyy...I
promise."
"Here goes. I am from the future, six years in the
future, actually. No, no don't look at me like that, I'm not crazy.
I know things about you that you probably haven't told anybody."
"Look," Mamoru started, but was cut off by Usagi.
"No! I'm not done. I am your future girlfriend...and a
whole lot more, but we won't go into that now. Ask me something, anything!" she nodded her head for him to take her advice.
"You can't be my girlfriend! You're so young! That would
make you, like, seven years younger than me!" he said incredulously.
"I look younger than I am!" she said reproachfully. Then
she became sheepish as she said, "I'm six years younger than you."
Mamoru shook his head. "I'm sorry, I just can't believe
you. It's impossible, and I think you should see a doctor. I have
to go." He stood up and started to leave, but Usagi grabbed his sleeve.
"Demo...you can't! I need your help! I can prove it if
you just ask me some questions! Really!"
He looked down at her exasperatedly. "Fine. Why did
my parents leave me at the orphanage, and how old was I?"
Usagi looked up at him confused. "Your parents didn't leave you here, they died in a car crash when you were six! Oh, Mamo-chan,
it's so sad you can't remember them!"
Mamoru just looked at her, startled. "H-how did you know
that?"
"I already told you!" Usagi almost yelled.
"You could be some kind of weird stalker!"
"I'm not."
"You don't know me."
"Your favorite food is chocolate."
"That doesn't prove any thing."
"You dream about a princess almost every night."
"That doesn't pro-WHAT?"
Usagi smiled. She knew he hadn't told anyone about her. "I'm
telling you Mamo-chan, I AM from the future."
Mamoru put his head down in defeat. "I never told anyone
that."
"Except me. And I even know who she is."
He brought his head up with such a jerk Usagi winced.
"Who is she?" he asked urgently.
Usagi suddenly had second thoughts. "I don't think I
should tell you." she said slowly. "Might mess up the world or something."
For the time being Mamoru accepted this. "Okay," he
asked. "Why do you need my help?"
Usagi looked at him intensely. "I need you to help me
get back."

Well that's it for part two. I've been so busy, you wouldn't believe!
I'm really sorry if anyone's been waiting for this. The next part
of 'Selene' should be out this weekend (March 11), hopefully.
Bye-e, LM
