Chapter 3: I knew you loved me then

Usagi was walking home from school, after her meeting with Mamoru. It was hot out today and she couldn't wait to get out of her school uniform and change into a pair of shorts and a tank top. Unfortunately that thought was cut short when she heard a girl scream. It was coming from the computer school that Ami attended. Usagi didn't have time to think about that. Luna came running up to her. "Princess Transform!" She yelled...

Usagi's POV

It was VERY hot out today... I couldn't wait to get home, and my encounter with Mamoru didn't make this quicker. I could change out of this god-forsaken school uniform and get ice cream... ummmmm... Ice Cream... Then my thoughts were cut short as I heard a scream coming from Ami's computer school. Luna ran up to me and told me to transform. I immediately did so.
"Moon Prism Power!" I yelled as I put my hand up.
I am Sailor Moon now, and thanking god for the little uniform that cooled me off on this REALLY hot day. I ran toward the computer school and burst in. I found a youma holding onto Ami's throat. It was one of Queen Beryl's, I remember seeing them on the Moon Kingdom. Ami was screaming and the youma stopped for a moment as I preformed my, somewhat tacky, speech.
"I am Sailor Moon, the Champion of Justice, I will right wrongs and triumph over Evil, and that means you, scumbag..."
"OOOOOOOOwwwww I'm quivering in my shoes," was all it said in reply. Followed with, "Moon Brat."

I hate it when they all me that.
Then she dropped Ami and started forward to attack me. I could remember my training by Endymion, even though it was suppose to be forbidden, of Sailor Moon. I launched at the youma, but it dodged and shot out cards, pinning me up against the wall. The youma came closer still, she was about to launch one of those cards again that would have been the finishing blow. I closed my eyes expecting pain, but it never came. I re-opened my eyes to see a red rose in the path of the youma.
"A red rose..." I thought to myself smiling, "Endymion?"
"How dare you take advantage of people who want to study and improve themselves! I am tuxedo Mask and you will pay," (AN: I don't know what he said in the speech there so just play along) Tuxedo Mask said, as he jumped through the window and helped me.
'And I thought my speeches were corny...' I thought to myself.
"Sailor Moon, its your turn," Tuxedo Mask said.
I nodded.
"Moon Tiara Magic!" I called as I released my tiara in the form of a discus and 'dusted' the nega monster.
But as I was fighting I never notice someone else come in... Jadeite. He was now trying to kill Ami.
"I sense great energy in you that will serve the Negaverse well," he said.
All of a sudden a blue burst of energy erupted from Ami and the sign of Mercury appeared on her forehead.
"Jadeite!" I exclaimed, he was part of the Negaverse! Never. He would never betray Endymion like that willingly, he was one of his best friends, generals. He was sworn to protect both Endymion and I, why would he be trying to kill Ami? Who… happened to be Sailor Mercury. Wait, I remembered now, Beryl turned the generals against them with nega-energy! They killed the Senshi on the Moon!

Luna gave Ami her transformation locket and told her what to do…

Authors (ME :D) POV

As Jadeite stumbled back from the sudden burst of unexpected energy launched at him, Luna took the opportunity to get to Ami.
"Ami, take this transformation wand and transform into Sailor Mercury," Luna yelled, "Say Mercury Star Power"
"But I..." Ami said a little flabbergasted. Then she saw Jadeite approaching. Sailor Moon distracted him with one of her speeches, as Ami went to a corner to hide while she transformed. Afterwards, Sailor Mercury appeared in Ami's place.
"I have to help Sailor Moon," Ami said to herself and jumped out in front of her.
"I am Sailor Mercury, and you shall pay, 'Mercury Bubbles Blast!" Ami yelled. "now Sailor Moon."
"Where do I aim for?" asked Sailor Moon. 'I can't hit Jadeite, even if he is evil, there HAS to be a way to help him.' she thought afterwards.
"The shiny dot," replied Sailor Mercury.
"Got it, 'Moon Tiara Magic!'" Sailor Moon yelled.
Jadeite saw the flying discus coming toward him and finished into a black portal.
"I'll get you, no matter how many Sailor Senshi there are Sailor Moon!" He said through the air.
Mercury's bubbles had faded by now. Sailor Moon had welcomed Sailor Mercury to the group and turned to Tuxedo Mask, who was about to jump out the window.
"Set me free again," he heard the familiar voice in his mind before he jumped out. Sailor Moon just stood there smiling.
'It is Endymion… part of him still remembers…' she thought with a sigh.

The Next day in school

Usagi and Ami are sitting under the oak tree eating their lunch and talking about last nights happening.
"So what do we do really?" Ami asked curiously.
"We protect the innocent of Earth right now. We also have to find the Moon Princess (AN: ;) ) and the Imperium Silver Crystal..." replied Usagi having explained all about the Moon Kingdom, without great detail, claiming that she only knew what Luna told her.
She also told her about the other 'Inner Senshi' they had to find. She didn't think anyone had to know about the Outers yet... Usagi met with Sailor Pluto often. Her name is Setsuna, the only other person, besides Usagi, who remembered everything about the Moon Kingdom. They would visit each other to talk. Setsuna was very lonely and Centuries old. She was immortal... The guardian of the time gate. she was doomed to be alone forever while she guarded the gates. She enjoyed the company of the young Princess. Usagi seemed to bring joy to everyone she was around. Setsuna still hadn't figured out why Usagi didn't forget about the past along with the others? I made no sense to her...
Usagi knew who all of the outer Senshi were also, except Sailor Saturn. The Senshi of Silence, who wasn't to be awakened until the end of the Universe, but Usagi didn't want to think about that. Sailor Uranus was Haruka Ten'oh and Sailor Neptune was Michiru Kaioh. They didn't know who Usagi was, but Usagi talked to Pluto about them a lot. Pluto had told her about the 3 Talisman and about the Outer Senshi, but refused to tell her who the Inner Senshi were because they were not yet 'Awakened' and wanted them to live normal lives as long as possible. Usagi was disappointed, but agreed none the less. What see would have given to have had a normal live... Even on the Moon that's all she wanted. But alas, she would never have one.
Usagi went to the Crown after school and sat down on the stool as she usually did.

"Hey Usa, the usual?" Motoki asked, smiling at her as usual.

"No thanks Motoki, I'm not really hungry…" Usagi said, giving him a weak smile that didn't meet her eyes. She was thinking of Endymion, and wondering if she'd ever get him back. His reincarnation seemed to hate her passionately and the only thing that even pointed that he even cared a little about her was Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon.

Usagi's POV

"Odango Atama, not hungry! There has to be something wrong!" came a mocking voice from behind me that I instantly recognized as he sat beside me and I felt a shock as his arm brushed mine. I looked over and smiled at him weakly,

"Hey Mamoru-Baka," I said in a monotone.

He looked at her worriedly, he was always used to seeing her up beat and happy, or shouting that he was a baka, this wasn't the Odango he knew, and wanted to find out what was wrong.

Mamoru's POV

I strolled into the Crown as I always did to get a coffee when I heard Usagi say that she wasn't hungry. I was startled at first, but came up with a smart-ass remark,

"Odango Atama, not hungry! There has to be something wrong!" I said in a mocking voice from behind her. I sat beside her and I felt a shock as my arm brushed hers. She looked over and smiled at me weakly,

"Hey Mamoru-Baka," she said to me in a monotone voice.

I looked at her worriedly, I was always used to seeing her up beat and happy, or shouting that I was a baka, this wasn't the Odango he knew and loved… wait, loved! Where the hell did THAT come from! Anyways, I wanted to find out what was wrong and bring that smile back to her face and eyes.

"Hey Odango, what's wrong?" I asked sincerely.

She looked at me for a moment, then gave another weak smile.

"What makes you think that something's wrong?" she asked innocently.

"Is it a guy?" I asked, ignoring her innocent act. But my voice came out somewhat jealous. JEALOUS!

She smiled at me, this time small but real. A light flickered in her eyes,

"Sort of," she responded to me.

I laid my hand on hers and said in a reassuring way,

"Don't worry Odango, boys come and go, we are basically all scum," she laughed at this, "anyways, what I'm trying to say is your beautiful and fun to be around, any guy would die to be with you."

Usagi's POV

Mamoru laid his hand on mine and said in a reassuring way,

"Don't worry Odango, boys come and go, we are basically all scum," I laughed at this, "anyways, what I'm trying to say is your beautiful and fun to be around, any guy would die to be with you."

'If only you knew my darling Endy, if only you remembered," I thought to myself sadly, then brought a smile to my face again, 'He said I was beautiful!'

"Do you really mean that?" I asked earnestly.

"Of course I do," he replied, looking deeply into my eyes, his eyes piercing like he was looking right through me into my soul.

"Thank you Mamoru, I hope your right," I said, 'because the one man that I've always been in love with is sitting right in front of me," I thought.

"Thank You, you don't know how much that means to me," I smiled, kissed his cheek then waltzed out of the Arcade, my head singing "He loves me. He loves me. He loves me!"

Mamoru's POV

Usagi kissed my cheek and waltzed out of the arcade, leaving a tingling sensation from where her lips departed, I raised my hand to touch my cheek.

"Man, you've got it hard," I hear Motoki say as he handed me my coffee.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Mamoru, it's very obvious that you have a thing for Usagi, and if I were you I'd go for it," he said.

"Well, it's a good thing your not me then, isn't it," Mamoru said, paid for his coffee and walked out of the arcade, thinking how a blonde 14 year old girl could effect him so.

Meanwhile Somewhere Up North

"Jadeite, you incompetent fool, first you awaken the Legendary Senshi of the Moon, and her Male protector and they kill your youma, and then you let her find one of the Moon Princesses Protectors, who happens to be one of the female warriors of the Moon! And what's worse? They got away, and you return with no energy! I am greatly disappointed!" Queen Beryl practically yelled in that annoying voice of hers...
"but my Queen..."
"no excuses Jadeite, remember what I do to my failures!"
"Yes, Ma' Queen..."
"Good, now, go gather energy, and don't fail me again! (An: original...)
"Yes My Queen..."
