Bringing Mamoru into an alliance with the Senshi slightly complicated things. Luna was not as easily convinced as the other Senshi were. She was still very protective of her princess and needed more proof of Mamoru being the Earth's King than Minako's memories and his being Tuxedo Kamen. They all decided to meet at Rei's Temple tomorrow afternoon to research the moon database for Mamoru's past life.

The only unfortunate part of this was that school had to come first. Usagi dreaded going back to class after that awkward experience at the Crown Arcade. She didn't want to see Hiroto and if she did, she had no idea what to say to him. His words kept echoing over and over inside her mind. "This isn't over, bunny."

She had been overcautiously aware of her surroundings and quickly noted that he didn't attend school today. At least, not the classes that they had together. Miss Haruna gave them a big textbook for their upcoming English assignment. They had three months to complete the assignment and it was 50% of their grade. Well crap. Like I need this right now…

The bell rang. Usagi and Ami were walking to meet Makoto for lunch. Distracted by the new assignment, Usagi completely forgot about Hiroto and started to pick Ami's brain about what topic to choose so she could at least start on it as soon as possible. They walked up to Usagi's locker so that she could put the giant textbook in there until school was over. Usagi put in the combination, opened it, and out fell dozens of brightly colored tulips.

Usagi looked down, confused at first. Then she remembered what Hiroto had greeted her with when he showed up at her house. Tulips. She looked around for him and saw him peering at her from behind another set of lockers with a hopeful smile on his face. When her eyes met his, he waved and bit his lip suggestively. Usagi's eyebrows furrowed. While maintaining contact, she stomped on the tulips and swiped them out of the way with her feet. She put the big textbook in her locker, slammed it shut, and turned the knob to ensure that it was locked.

She turned to walk away with a very surprised Ami. "How in the world did he get into your locker, Usagi-chan?"

Usagi looked back angrily at the now sad Hiroto and replied. "I don't know, but I'm getting sick of this shit."

Ami was even more surprised at Usagi's words and tone. She rarely got this angry. Normally she saved it for fighting the Negaverse, but this boy was starting to bring it out of her more and more. Even her previous fights with Mamoru never got this bad. Whenever they got heated, they started to poke or push each other which showed Ami that they were pushing away feelings for one another. The topics were always playful and it never fully changed Usagi's mood. This was different. More intense and serious.

They made their way to Makoto who had saved a table for them outside in the courtyard. It was a nice day and the breeze was light. They were partially shaded by some trees making Makoto wish that it would feel like this all the time. She was smiling and happily eating her homemade lunch until she saw Usagi walking over with Ami. Usagi looked angry. Really angry. This could only mean Hiroto. Not even a detention or lecture from Miss Haruna would change Usagi's happy demeanor.

Makoto stood up to greet them as they made their way to the table. "Usagi-chan, what's wrong? What happened?"

Usagi sat down in a huff. "I don't want to talk about it."

Ami spoke for her. "Hiroto left tulips in her locker."

Makoto's head jolted back, startled. "What? How the hell did he get into your locker?"

"That's what I asked…this is escalating. He's overlooking boundaries and ignoring her refusals. I think we may need to tell someone about this. Someone with authority within the school. Maybe they can switch his classes or suspend him."

Makoto shrugged. "How? He hasn't actually done anything horrible. He's just a weirdo."

Usagi tried to ignore the conversation and started eating her lunch. A frown was overtaking her face as she pondered what to do. How do I get him to leave me alone? Overhearing part of Ami's words Usagi mentally responded. Authority figure? Psh. Please. I'm Sailor Moon. I'm the best authority figure there is… Usagi's eyes widened and she looked up. Wait. Sailor Moon.

"Guys!" Usagi almost screamed. Makoto and Ami jumped and looked at her quizzically.

Usagi leaned across the table and said more in a hushed tone. "What if Sailor Moon told him to back off?"

Ami and Makoto's eyebrows raised.

Ami shook her head slowly. "I'm not sure that's a good idea, Usagi-chan. What if he recognizes you? And then there's the issue of how Sailor Moon came to learn about his interactions with Tsukino Usagi."

Usagi waived her hand and scoffed. "Sailor Moon knows everything."

Makoto chuckled lightly. "If that's true then why are you failing math?"

Usagi narrowed her eyes at Makoto. And Makoto playfully punched Usagi's shoulder. "I'm just kidding. Besides, I think Ami has a point. Mixing in your alter ego may create more problems than solutions."

Usagi sat there flabbergasted. "Well does anyone else have a better idea? Because I've tried everything with this guy!"

Usagi put her hands in her hair and stared at the table. Both Ami and Makoto didn't know what to say. Usagi had a point. This kid was not getting the message and something drastic did need to happen, but they weren't willing to bring their princess' precious alter ego into the mix.

Usagi's phone chimed as a text message popped up. She looked down and screamed with frustration which startled both girls sitting at the table with her. She brought up her phone and showed it to them.

You look cute when you're angry. – Hiroto

Makoto furrowed her brow. "Alright. That's it. Usagi, we're going to the Principal's office. Ami's right, we need to get authority figures into this. Even if it may not work, it's worth a shot."

The girls headed into the office, signed in, and waited to be seen.

The Principal's secretary came out and led them into Principal Hayashi was sitting behind his desk and fumbling with paperwork when the three girls came in and sat down in front of his desk. They explained the scenario and how Usagi was at her wit's end for how to resolve the solution. The Principal decided to do what most Principals would; he called Hiroto into his office to resolve it with him present.

About 10 minutes later, Hiroto was brought in by the secretary from before. He saw Usagi and immediately smiled. He sat down happily and never even bothered to look in the Principal's direction.

This didn't escape Principal Hayashi. He instantly took control of the situation. "Hiroto. These young ladies are telling me that you've been bothering Usagi excessively. Now why is this?"

Hiroto looked over at the Principal like he has just magically appeared there. He sat confused for a moment and then responded. "Bothering? I'm not bothering Usagi. I'm her boyfriend. It's normal for couples to fight. We're just going through a rough patch because of some other guy trying to take her away from me."

Usagi's hands ran into her hair and she almost pulled out her buns. "Aargghhhh!"

Looking at the Principal she desperately cried, "Do you see what I mean? He's talking about my ACTUAL boyfriend."

She turned to face Hiroto. "Hiroto, you and I are NOT dating! I don't know how many times to say that. You need to leave me alone!"

Hiroto would not let these words process. He was in full blown denial and determined to be with Usagi, no matter what the cost. "Usagi, no. You and I are meant to be together. I'll die without you. Please you don't understand how much I love you."

Principal Hayashi put up his hand to silence them. "Alright. I've seen enough. Hiroto. You are going to leave these girls alone. If I hear from them again that you're bothering them on school grounds, I will be forced to suspend you. Do you understand?"

Unable to disrespect an elder, Hiroto bowed respectively. "Hai, sir."

Principal Hayashi nodded with satisfaction and dismissed them all from his office.

As they walked down the hall, Usagi took a deep breath and looked over at her two relieved friends. "Think it'll work?"

The bell rang for the classes to continue. Ami shrugged and started to walk away from them to her next class. "Let's hope so…"

Cherry Hill Temple - 4pm

Everyone had gathered and was settling into their seats. Luna and Artemis had taken center stage by sitting on the table and facing both Usagi and Mamoru.

Luna looked very serious. "Everything you see and hear here does not leave this room. Understood?"

Mamoru felt weird taking orders from a cat, but he nodded nonetheless.

With a swipe of her paw, Luna brought up a transparent screen that looked like a computer. Files and folders popped up along with a search engine box.

She somehow typed Earth Prince into the computer and nothing popped up. "Hmm."

Minako scooted forward to the computer. "Type his name. Endymion."

Luna did so and up popped someone looking incredibly similar to Mamoru. Mamoru's mouth dropped as he saw the image and his brain attempted to grasp the fact that this was all real. This was all truly happening.

Luna started to read the information. "It didn't pop up as him being the Earth Prince because at the time of the fall of the Moon, he was the King. His father had been killed in a riot only two weeks prior to the war. Him and Princess Serenity of the Moon were planning on getting married.

Usagi and Mamoru looked at Luna and then one another. Usagi looked into his eyes almost as if she was trying to remember. Married? We were lovers in our previous lives? Does this mean there is such a thing as soul mates?

Feeling herself becoming slightly overwhelmed, she broke eye contact; not wanting to lose her composure in front of her Senshi. She looked to Luna. "This brings up a lot of questions that need answers, Luna. I think we need to know the full story. The memories of our previous lives are there, but they're still fuzzy for some of us. Mamoru is having a recurring dream that maybe you can decipher." She looked to her companion. "Mamoru?"

Mamoru cleared his throat and began telling Luna about his conversation with Kunzite.

After hearing his dream, Luna researched the database further and after about 20 minutes, she had enough information to respond. "It appears to make sense. You were probably discussing your plan of uniting the Earth and Moon through your marriage to Princess Serenity. The comment about you not being able to deny your feelings speaks of your love for Serenity. According to the database, the two of you met during a council meeting over an alliance with all the planets. Moon people were seen as pure and were not granted to converse with people from Earth. Endymion came to the council meeting to change that and the minute he saw Serenity, he persisted at it even further. It was spoken of as a true example of love at first sight. They broke royal laws and snuck around to see one another. At a Gala that celebrated Pluto's joining into the alliance, you two announced your engagement. Most were happy and were looking forward to the union of the two planets, but those that were unhappy were supported by a force that was determined to see the Moon fall. That force was and is Metalia. She manipulated Beryl into leading the rebellion on the Earth that soon progressed to the Moon."

Usagi's hand clutched Mamoru's as she held back tears and tried to take a deep soothing breath. "I've always known that it was my fault that the Moon Kingdom fell, but it's still difficult to take."

Luna shook her head furiously. "This was not Serenity's fault. Nor was it Endymion's. The two were simply working towards peace through their love for each other. It was the corruption of the people of Earth by Metalia that caused the Moon Kingdom to fall."

Usagi cleared her throat and regained composure.

Rei wanted to distract the conversation from the fall of the Moon Kingdom and decided to speak up. "So why is this all happening again? Why are we reincarnated to do the same job?"

Luna turned to Rei. "It isn't the same job. Before your job was to protect the Princess and the Moon. This time, it's to protect the King and Queen of the Earth and ensure the survival of the human race."

Makoto let out a big sigh. "Well that is just a little bit more intense…"

Minako nodded. "But it is our destiny. We are forever tied to protecting Usagi and Mamoru. No matter what lifetime we're in."

Mamoru rubbed his eyebrows. "Ok, wait, so when is this all supposed to happen? What makes you think that I'll just be given the position of King of the Earth? The Earth isn't united. There's no ONE King."

Luna nodded. "You are correct. Earth is broken up into different countries and political systems. All of what we're speaking of will happen in the next century. By then, the Earth will have come together and you will all have proven yourselves to be the protectors of the Earth. The position is given to you, Mamoru, by birthright. There will be no opposition."

Mamoru shook his head. "The next century? We're not going to be alive then!"

Artemis chuckled. "Actually you are. You're all going to stop aging at the age of 25. You'll become older over time, but it will be over hundreds of years."

Attempting to lighten the mood, Minako did a fist pump. "Immortality!"

Usagi looked at Minako quizzically and giggled. She looked over at Artemis. "It's the Silver Crystal that gives us that, isn't it."

Artemis and Luna nodded in unison.

Usagi looked down at the brooch on her chest. "All this destiny…held in one small crystal. It seems unreal."

Minako smiled and shook her head slowly. "No…what seems unreal is the love you two share. Traveling through lifetimes and being shared after reincarnation. THAT'S what seems unreal!"

Usagi smirked and felt a little uncomfortable that her life had been planned out that way. What if it didn't work out with Mamoru? Would we be forced to stay together for the planet?

Usagi looked over to Mamoru who was looking at her with such love and admiration, she almost forgot what she was going to say. "How are you feeling about all of this, Mamo-chan?"

He smiled at the nickname and at his lifetime companion. He took in a deep breath and let out a sigh slowly. "It's a lot to take in, but I'm glad I'm getting answers. I've wondered why I'm always drawn to you. And when Sailor Moon transforms, I feel it instantly. It seems as though we're connected on many levels and that comforts me."

Usagi smiled and immediately felt reassured by his words. That's true. The connection is undeniable…

She still wanted to know if he had doubts and looked up at him. "Aren't you worried it may not work out? That we're only together because it's supposed to happen this way for the safety of the planet? I feel like we aren't getting a choice in this…"

Mamoru looked at her meaningfully. "Oh, no. We chose this. It just happened to be a lifetime ago when I saw you from across that boardroom." He smiled in remembrance. "You were wearing a light blue gown that almost glowed which contrasted with your pale skin perfectly. Your then white hair was in the bunned hairstyle and flowed down your back as you stood to greet those from other planets. By some grace of luck, someone near me knocked over a chair and your eyes wandered to mine. The minute they locked, I knew I never wanted to look into anyone else's ever again."

Usagi was in shock and on the brink of tears. "You remember?"

"I remembered the minute Luna explained how we met." He brought up his finger to wipe away an inevitable tear. "Don't say we don't have a choice when we chose each other over everything else in the galaxy."

Artemis leaned over towards Luna and quietly whispered, "I like this guy."

Luna nodded in agreement. "Me too."

Minako decided to formally end the meeting so that her Princess could have some privacy with her Prince. "Alright, well it's now 6:30. We've taken in a lot of information and I think we should continue this at a later date." She smacked her hand on the table making a loud bang. "Meeting adjourned!"
