Hello again. I know it took a while, and I'm sorry, but nobody reads this anyway! Where did all the sailor moon fans go? Okay
now for the disclaimer. I do not own sailor moon, it's characters,
plot, settings, or any of that, and I make no money from this, so
don't sue, pleeeeaaaseee? Onward!

Mamoru looked at Usagi helplessly. "How could I ever possibly
help you get back?" he asked, doubt of her sanity evident in his
voice.
Usagi sighed. "You have the strength and power an command over
the Earth to do it. Perhaps, though, you are right. I seem to
remember a woman from the silver millennium...Setsuna..." she trailed
off.
"Silver millennium? Power? What?" Mamoru questioned, her
enigmatic words bouncing around in his head.
"Never mind, Mamo-chan. You can help me with the emotional
stuff!" she said happily, smiling at the prospect of being with him a
lot. 'Gosh, he looks so young' she thought.
"Mamo-chan?" he repeated dryly, though he was secretly pleased
that a beautiful girl had a pet name for him, even if she was a loon.
Usagi blushed slightly. "Yeah. Hey, do you know anywhere good
to eat?" she asked, changing the subject. Then she hung her head.
"Never mind, I haven't got any money."
"Hey, don't worry about it." Mamoru said, wondering why he was
about to say what he did. "I'll pay. I'll go get my money and a day
pass." He swung around quickly, barely seeing her grateful
expression. He bounded up the stairs and opened the door. Then, once
again, he turned to her.
"You know, maybe I'm going crazy, but… I believe you. How else
would you know about the princess?" With that he ran quickly inside.
They sat at a table in a cute little café, beside the window.
Usagi
looked out at the people walking by and took a bite of her sundae.
Mamoru, on the other hand, watched her.
Suddenly she turned her head and her gray-blue eyes stared
passionately into his ocean blue ones. Mamoru blinked, startled. He
hadn't thought that a person could stare passionately until now.
She had just told him, sort of, what had happened, leaving out
the fact that they were super heros and former rulers of respective
planets (or planet and natural satellite).
"So, " he said, breaking eye contact with her. "This youma
attacked you and you fell into a sort of time…hole, was it? And ended
up here-I mean now?"
Usagi nodded. "Yup. Mamo-chan-I mean your future self-tried
to pull me out, but…" She shrugged helplessly. "I'm sure I'll get
back somehow, but it's nice to have you, Mamo-chan. I'd feel so empty
without you, so alone."
Mamoru blushed, but Usagi didn't notice. She covered his hand
with hers and smiled warmly.
"Look Usak-eh, Usagi-chan, I'd love to help, but I just don't
know what to do!"
She smiled at him again. "You can call me Usako, if you like.
That was what you were about to say, wasn't it?"
He blushed again, and nodded slightly.
"That's what Mamo-chan calls me," she said wistfully.
Walking down the sidewalk towards the orphanage Usagi complained about
what her lodgings were going to be.
"Oh, Mamo-chan, where am I gonna sleep? In a cardboard box? I
don't have any money or anything!"
"I dunno, Usagi-chan. Is there anywhere you can go?"
"No," she said miserably, then "shhh" as a couple's
conversation caught her attention. Usagi recognized them from
somewhere.
"Oh, what are we going to do?" The woman said dejectedly to
the man. "We don't have a baby-sitter tonight and we can't possibly
take Machiko with us! Who will be able to stay all night on such
short notice? That wretched baby-sitter, how could she just cancel
like that?"
Usagi leaned over to Mamoru and whispered "play along."
Oh Mamoru-san," she said loudly, grabbing the couples
attention. "I can't believe Dr. Mizuno canceled on me! Now that
Ami-chan doesn't need a baby-sitter I don't have anywhere to go
tonight! The house is empty and mom will be so mad!"
Mamoru nodded sympathetically.
The couple turned towards Usagi. "You baby-sit Mizuno
Ami-chan?" The woman asked.
Usagi nodded, glad that she remembered Ami's mother's friends
that she had met a week before. They had a daughter a couple years
younger than Ami and herself.
"Um, regularly we wouldn't ask this, since we don't know
you..." The woman trailed off and looked up at her husband for
confirmation of her idea. When he nodded she continued. "But since
you babysit Ami-chan-we know Dr.Mizuno-I wonder if you might babysit
our daughter, Machiko, if it's no trouble."
Usagi looked as if she were thinking about it for a moment, the
nodded. "That would solve my problem," she said. "My house is all
locked up, and my parents are away for the night, and Dr.Mizuno
canceled on me so I had nowhere to go! I would live to babysit for
your daughter!" She poured out dramatically.
"OH, perfect," the man said, then his eyes narrowed slightly as
he noticed Mamoru. "Is this your boyfriend?" He asked. Like any
father he wanted no boys in the same house as his daughter.
"Um...yes" Usagi said, but added quickly "But he has to be
home...when, darling? In an hour?"
"It's fine, dear," the woman said shooting daggers at her
husband with her eyes. She handed Usagi a piece of paper. "Here's
our address. The job is from eight p.m. tonight to six a.m. tomorrow.
All night, I'm afraid."
The man nodded as Usagi spoke again. "Um, I only take cash, is
that all right?"
"Good, well this is perfect," she said smiling happily, than
ran off, Mamoru behind her.
Before she got too far the woman called out "HEY, wait a
minute, what's your name?"
Usagi turned and smiled. She looked over at Mamoru, who was
standing beside her, love evident in her eyes. It made him so weak he
contemplated leaning against a lamppost.
"Chiba Usagi!" She answered gleefully, grabbed a stunned
Mamoru's hand, and pulled him along behind her as she skipped away.
A few hours later at the arcade, where Usagi would spend so
many of her teenage years, she outlined her plans for tomorrow with
Mamoru.
"Okay," said Usagi. "Here's the deal. I'm gonna babysit and
earn, like twenty dollars (A.N. sorry, I don't know yen) or something,
then go to the library to find out stuff on this Setsuna woman I
mentioned earlier-I feel there is a connection between her and the
planet Pluto. Any way, but that'll take a while, but I'll come by the
orphanage, say, around one? You know, just to tell you what's up."
Mamoru nodded, not understanding a word about Setsuna or Pluto,
but happy, extremely so, that she was coming to see him again.
"Sure," he answered. "At one I'll be in the playground behind the
school watching the younger kids."
After a bit they both ordered sodas and talked for a long time.
Mamoru, since he had no memories of before the accident, felt
it was the happiest moment of his life so far. The girl was amazing.
He couldn't wait until he was twenty, and he could call her his.
At around four o'clock (and five sodas later) Usagi jumped up,
pulling Mamoru. "Come on, let's go," she said, pulling him towards the door. Mamoru threw money on the table then intertwined his fingers
with hers. It took so little for this girl to knock down his
carefully constructed defenses.
"Four more hours," Usagi said dejectedly as they once again
walked down the sidewalk, hands still laced together.

That's all for now. I'll bet that was dissapointing. sorry -LM
